What about stock YouTube? It probably opens just as slow.

[Mohammedibrahim15]

No this issue in not reproduced in Stock YouTube

Likely a compression issue of the files inside the APK file when recreating it @LisoUseInAIKyrios

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Just to verify it's not a specific patch, try repatching with only microg. If it's still slow, then yes it must be something with repackaging the apk.

But if you repatch with only microg and the issue is solved, then start repatching and include more patches until the problem returns. Then report back what patch causes the issue.

Finally after 2 hours of trying i found the criminal patch😅 Enable Android Debugging when included it causes that problem

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

That can definitely slow down any app it's applied to. Glad you figured it out.

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

And just to be clear, enable android debugging should only be used for patch development as it has no other purpose and it will slow down the target app to a varying degrees.
