About

The last YouTube app available on Android 6 or 7 is 17.34.36.

And ReVanced Extended v2.160.1 was the last patch compatible with 17.34.36.

So I decided to fork RVX v2.160.1 to support YouTube 17.34.36.
I fixed some issues for 17.34.36 and backported some features (including endless buffering fix) from newer patch.

Also, I released a fork ReVanced Manager for Android 5-7.

I would like to quit developing based on 2.160.1 and remake it based on the latest RVX. (for well maintainability🔧, updated translation🌍 and new features✨) it's difficult for me

I have skill issue...

Embarrassingly, I'm not very familiar with reverse engineering and also programming. (But I can read a little smali :D )
So I can not create new patches by myself. All my modifying are merely copy and paste.

If anyone else is interested in developing a ReVanced Patches for YouTube 17.34.36 besides me, please don't hesitate to release it!
If a more excellent ReVanced Patches for YouTube 17.34.36 is emerged, I will immediately stop releasing my one and introduce yours!

Also all contributions are welcomed!
