[Help] How to reinstall YouTube-Vanced after installing updated YouTube? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had YouTube-Vanced (Magisk Module) installed.
It was working fine, Until YouTube was auto updating.
So i tried to remove it (YouTube app) from "system", so when it's not a "system app" it won't auto update. but -as the mover app warned me- it went wrong and was removed from device completely.
Therefore, I had to reinstall YouTube from Google Play. Which obviously is an updated version. And Vanced-Module can't take effect.
I tried to reinstall Vanced-Module but to no avail.
When I tried to manually install the apk (of YT Vanced) from /sbin/.core/img
It said "can't install - package seems corrupted"
Any thoughts on how can I solve this?
Thanks!

Borked Android v6 install - Please Help

Nexus 5 just updated to CyanogenMod v13 based on Android v6.
After the updat got the dreaded "Google Play Services has stopped working" spaming error dialogue.
Tried wiping cache, Dalvik cache etc. No help. Unable to uninstall the app (Uninstall button greyed out). No updates to app that I can uninstall either. Tried to install the latest .apk of Google Play Services to install over the top - no dice. Install button for side-loaded apps is greyed out. Uninstalled Google Play store. Went to install side-loaded .apk of same. Blocked by greyed out install button again. Only thing I can think of to get around it is to install from zip via TWRP recovery?
Unable to copy files directly from PC either - blocked by "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" error. Tried both with and without USB debugging.
Please help >.<

App installed but not showing up and/or usable

Hello,
i've got a pretty weird problem i can't figure out.
I'm trying to install netflix and get a 505 error in the play store. Using an apk from unknown sources, either netflix or apkmirror, tells me the installation would be an update, but fails after trying to install.
I've tried deleting the netflix folder in /android, deleting Cache and Data from google framework, playstore and Services, download manager. Restarting the phone.
The app also doesn't show up in application manager, app drawer and play store, it just Shows the regular green install Button.
Using a Note 4 n910c, latest Updates installed, no root.
Thank you in advance for your help

Google Camera / Youtube Vanced for Redmi6A

I have been trying different method on installing rooted apps bbut anything that would related to system configuration would end up with message of "app is not installed" in installation. Including "Viper4, Youtube Vance, Google Camera".
However I'm able to install viper through magisk module. Just install inside the magisk. And it works. But no luck finding the other two apps.
Any suggestions guys?
Im rooted.
Disabled Google App Protection
I installed YouTube vanced (non root) with microG which works perfectly fine.

Cannot install Snapchat from Google Play (detailed question).

I own an LG G6, updated to the latest firmware provided by LG (Oreo). Not rooted. Google Play continues to tell me "Can't install Snapchat" in a dialog box every time I try to install it. I have also tried installing via an APK, but that results in package manager just stating "App not installed." In either case, no error codes are shown.
I have tried to clear cache and data from package manager/installer, Google play, and Google play services.
All 3 solutions don't work. I don't want to reset my entire device for one app, and hence as a last-ditch effort am posting here.
Any solutions?

Account already exist on youtube vanced

I am on Root with Magisk and installed Youtube Vanced Root with SAI.
I found the other threads and tried their solutions.
I tried installing and running SDMaid and rebooted and that didn't help.
I tried uninstalling Chrome -> nope.
I tried installing Android System Webview -> nope.
I tried reinstalling Chrome -> nope
I tried uninstalling ASW -> nope.
I tried flashing Youtube from TWRP -> failed.
I tried installing MicroG although shouldn't need it on rooted version; that didn't help either.
I think I've been here before, but I don't know how I solved it last time.
Any ideas?
Edit: Just remembered: Last time I a) uninstalled Youtube Vanced, a) then installed Youtube from Playstore, c) then deactivated Auto Update, d) then uninstalled Youtube Updates from Playstore, e) then installed Vanced ontop and that worked.
It does not work this time because at d) I cannot uninstall any Youtube Updates and at e) I can't install Vanced, because "newer version already installed".
Edit2: I tried a good dozens of old Youtube .apks (and xapks and mapks) but most straight up didn't install (including xapk* and SAI- installer) and all others were either too new or too old or sth. else to work.
Don't have TWRP and/or Magisk installed - and never will do so - but I know you always can completly traceless uninstall any app and their updates, be it a system-app and/or system-privileged-app or user-app.
The miserability is that Youtube Vanced - when it auto-updates - always gets overwritten by Google's Youtube.
