What it is

ReVanced Extended (RVX) is a collection of ReVanced patches for Android YouTube and YouTube Music. Each patch modifies the target app at build time to add, remove, or expose settings: ad hiding, SponsorBlock, Shorts and layout controls, playback tweaks, theming, custom branding, Gemini summaries, Return YouTube Dislike, and more. The README lists patches grouped by app, with each patch's purpose and supported target versions.

Unlike a standalone app, this repository supplies patch code; you still need the ReVanced tooling to apply patches to an APK. Some patches depend on external services or credentials, such as the DeArrow API, YouTube Data API v3, Return YouTube Dislike, or Yandex voice-over translation.

Quick start

The README does not include a step-by-step patching procedure. The project links an RVX Wiki for setup and usage guidance, and the ReVanced site for the broader toolchain. Before patching, use the patch table to confirm that your target app version falls within the listed range; for example, most YouTube patches currently target versions 21.13.164 ~ 20.05.46, while YouTube Music patches target 8.12.54 ~ 9.15.51. The specific patch selection, patcher, and APK acquisition steps are not described in this README, so follow the wiki rather than inventing commands.

Constraints

• Android only: the patches target the Google Play YouTube and YouTube Music apps.
• Version-sensitive: each patch lists a supported target-version range, and results may fail or differ outside it.
• Some patches require extra setup, such as GmsCore for non-root use, API keys for Return YouTube Username, or external apps for download handling.
• Network-dependent patches (SponsorBlock, Return YouTube Dislike, DeArrow, Gemini, third-party lyrics, voice-over translation) rely on third-party services and may change or break independently.
• The repository is licensed under GPL-3.0.

HotRepo's take

There are no HotRepo ranking snapshots, star-curve samples, or Hacker News discussions recorded for this repository. The README is the main evidence here: it is a detailed, version-pinned patch catalogue rather than a generic download page, with separate patch tables for YouTube and YouTube Music and an explicit wiki for instructions. That structure is useful for users who already know their target app version, but it does not by itself establish how reliably the patches apply across devices.
