I just use revanced
- stopped working for me yesterday :(
  
  Are you still using the microg version? There is a new version that uses another patch. You'll have to go to Reddit for the instructions on how to install that
  
  You dont have to go to shiddit
  There is a revanced discord that has all of the latest updates
  https://discord.com/invite/revanced
  Also check out this guide:

  yeah i was using microg
  
  Then you should switch to the new GmsCore method, fixed it for me
  
  Does the gms version suck down battery % like microg does?
  
  I haven't really noticed any battery drain with either to be honest
  
  What is the new one using?
  
  I think it's called GmsCore
  
  Will have to look into it
  
  you have to get the new microG for the newer revanced to work
  
  Update it
  
  See that's my problem with revanced - it's this constant cycle of "It stopped working again. Time to go through another manual update process. Oh, that broke it even worse. Maybe if I remove my Google account, then re-add it. Do I also need to update some other piece it depends on? Cool, let's do that. Yay, it works!" Then a week later it all starts again.
  I moved on to NewPipe and it's been great. I basically never have to think about it.
  
  Newpipe is for android?
  And I have only had to update revanced once in the year I've been using it...
  
  pipepipe is also good, its a fork of newpipe
  
  I recently switched to Grayjay (which still exists and is updated) to put my YT and Odysee sub's in one place, but before that I had been using NewPipe on my Android phones for years. I still have it side loaded on my Kindle Fire tablet.
  
  i think i'll try newpipe for a while
  
  Working fine for me
