Can reproduce but i was able to get the same white overlay elsewhere too when i went to patch options for gms core, a restart fixed it and i was able to see things right, don't know if this is helpful or not

[cyberboh]

1. Clear revanced manager data, and try again
2. Why you removed GmsCore while your phone is non-rooted? This makes no sense, since non-rooted phone needed it. Patch again with GmsCore patch included

[oSumAtrIX]

Try @xDARKxDEVILx suggestion or find an older version of ReVanced Manager that works so we can track down where the issue came up

[gozes]

Ok so try restarting my phone and repatching but I still get the white overlay

The white overlay only disappeared after restarting manager for the patch options menu of gmscore only, the installation didn't but i haven't tried doing it a second time yet, and will do soon

[xDARKxDEVILx]

Yeah, so restarting manager doesn't fix the white overlay for installation

[ILoveOpenSourceApplications]

I have actually found an easily replicable pattern for this issue. If you're someone who's constantly asked by Google play protect to scan an app during installation and you press Don't install app instead of the hidden Install without scanning, voila, the white overlay screen appears.

Having the same issue, decided to save the Patched APK and install it not from Revanced. I got an error message saying "Failed to install APK. Package is invalid"

[PlumBlossoms13]

I wasn't sure if I should open a new issue

I'm having the same issue trying to patch the Tumblr app. Saving the apk beforehand and installing from the file Manager only gives "App not installed"

Same issue as above, tried installing from saved patch apk and getting rid that something went wrong and it wasn't installed. Getting white overly when installing from revanced manager, able to hit back to get out of it but patching from existing install or downloaded APK doesn't help.

[megamorphg]

I also get the gray screen and get the error "package conflicts with an existing package" when trying to install from the saved APK. Has anyone tried uninstalling Revanced and Manager and then reinstalling? I'd test but don't want to lose all my settings in the Manager and Revanced.

None of this was happening in the previous non-dev release 1.18.0.

[oSumAtrIX]

The issue is fixed locally and caused by trying to apply a parameter on a translation string that doesn't have a parameter

So I guess we wait for a new version to be released with this fixed?

[gozes]

So I don't think this is close. I updated to 1.19.2 which has the above pr merged and now I'm getting

I'm also getting this error since updating to 1.19.2 🙁 Trying to patch apps now fails and always throws an 'EACCES (Permission denied)' error. I'm rooted and using mount method.

@gitdine I'm not rooted so I don't think that's the issue here

[oSumAtrIX]

That issue is unrelated to this.

@oSumAtrIX is there an issue for this or should I open one?

[gitdine]

I downgraded to 1.19.1 and everything is working fine again. So I guess I'll just wait for the next update.

I was on 1.19.1 and that's when I saw this issue so not sure how is it working for you

I'm talking about the EACCES (Permission denied) error. I started getting it after upgrading to 1.19.2, after downgrading everything went back to normal. I never faced the overlay bug in the OP.

[megamorphg]

Latest 1.19.3 worked for me but I had to uninstall first after it prompted (and then used APK). Have to go through all the setting pages again 😪

@megamorphg you mean uninstall the patch version and repatch and install by cancer manager?

[xDARKxDEVILx]

The white overlay is gone but it is now replaced with requiring root permissions when using normal install way XD I think i will open a new issue for this

[gozes]

So I'm getting when I try to install @oSumAtrIX any idea what is going on? Sadly I already uninstalled the old version of Vance's app so I'm left with only default YT 🤢
