        I have F-Droid, but don’t see vanced microg. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=microg

        Edit: I added the repository and it says the microg stuff is already installed: https://microg.org/download.html
        Edit2: as @scottmeme@sh.itjust.works said here, I had to download the YouTube apk.
        Edit3: I can patch the downloaded apk, but still working on installing it.
        Edit4: Getting the error “App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package.”
        Edit5: I think I’m going to have to get ADB going on my computer in order to uninstall the original YouTube from my phone.

            So far I’ve been able to patch a downloaded .apk, but I can’t install the patched .apk. Are you saying I should be renaming something?

              It’s in the manager, “custom branding” i think it is. It’s one of the patches.

              Alternately if you can uninstall actual YouTube that solves it too.

                    Aha. I figured out I was trying to patch a too-new version. The option you’re taking about is default, but there’s another MicroG option that wasn’t automatically selected. Thanks for the help, I wouldn’t have known where to look otherwise.
