Method 1. Using "ReVanced Manager builds for Android 6-7"

I have successfully made ReVanced Manager work on Android 6 & 7!

ReVanced Manager builds for Android 6-7
https://github.com/kitadai31/revanced-manager-android6-7

Using this modified version of ReVanced Manager, you can build YouTube ReVanced easily on your A6/7 device alone.

[For Android 6.0]
When running Manager on A6.0, please exclude Overlay Buttons patch.
This patch causes (exit code = 1) error while compiling resources.

If you want the overlay buttons feature, please use another build method.

Steps

  1. Download YouTube 17.34.36 APK from APKMirror. (Just download. DO NOT install it.)
    https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-17-34-36-release/youtube-17-34-36-2-android-apk-download/
  2. Download ReVanced Manager
  3. Open [Settings] > [Sources]
  4. Change three items
Setting value
Patches organization kitadai31
Patches source revanced-patches-android6-7
Integrations organization kitadai31
Integrations source (no change)


  1. Restart Manager (important)
  2. Open [Patcher]
  3. Tap [Storage] button and choose the APK which you downloaded in step 1.


After selected APK, make sure it is displayed like this.


  1. Open [Select patches]

  2. Tap [Default] button at first. Then customize the patches as you want.

  3. Tap [Patch] button.

cf. https://github.com/inotia00/revanced-documentation/wiki/Method-3.-Using-official-ReVanced-Manager-(Android)

If you got (exit code = 135) error while patching, your device is ARMv7 (32bit) and not supported.

Method 2. Using official ReVanced Manager on Android 8.0+ device

If you have other Android 8.0+ device, you can use official ReVanced Manager in order to build ReVanced for Android 6 or 7.
If your device is high-spec, this is much faster than building on old device.

The procedure is the same as Method 1.
After patch is completed, tap "Export APK" or "Share APK" in 3-dots menu and transfer it to your A6/7 device.

※ Compatible ReVanced Manager: latest (As of August 5)

Method 3. Using Revancify (Android)

Revancify is a TUI wrapper for Revanced CLI developed by decipher3114.
It's available on Android device.

https://github.com/decipher3114/Revancify

It's much faster than ReVanced Manager.
On my Android 7.1 phone, Manager took 45 minutes to build, but Revancify took just 10 minutes!

(But it uses 1GB of storage (including Termux), though Manager takes only 100MB. This is disadvantage for poor storage devices.)

Also, Revancify is easier than Manager because it has automatic APK download feature.
Revancify can edit patch options to change background color, app name, package name, etc.

Method 4. Using ReVanced Builder (PC/Android)

ReVanced Builder is GUI software to build ReVanced apps developed by reisxd.

※ Inotia's "RVX Builder" is not compatible with this patch. Use Reis's ReVanced Builder!

Method 5. Using ReVanced CLI (PC)
