Basically, the title. I’ve used revanced to patch YouTube and Reddit’s app. YouTube only seems to work if I install as root. Reddit’s app only seems to work if I don’t use root. Wondering why that is.

    Interesting. It doesn’t seem like that works for me.

    I’ve been getting the universal apk from apk mirror since using revanced. If I use the non root method of install (after selecting the apk from storage) it just exits. But if I install the universal apk first, then use the root method to install after patching the installed apk, it works.

    I probably just don’t understand something correctly.

        I don’t use microg. I still have play services installed.

        It feels like I have the best success downloading the universal apks from apk mirror, installing them, patching the installed apk, and installing the patched apk as root. And when I upgrade to the next version, uninstalling the app first, and repeating the above steps with the new version.
