I would also add that I checked the option to hide the notification button in the toolbar, and it doesn't work too

It looks like A/B tests Not only the Notification button, but also other buttons are not hidden? (Home, Shorts, Scubscriptions, etc..)

[GucekPL]

Navigation bar:

• Home ➞ not hidden
• Shorts ➞ not hidden
• Create ➞ not hidden
• Subscriptions ➞ not hidden
• Notifications ➞ not hidden
• You / Library ➞ hidden

Toolbar:

• Cast ➞ hidden
• Create ➞ hidden
• Notifications ➞ not hidden

These are clearly A/B tests

If this issue still occurs on your account, could you please provide the debug log?

[GucekPL]

How to do that? I have never done this

[inotia00]

1. Turn on the following settings:

Settings - ReVanced Extended - Miscellaneous - Enable debug logging

2. Launch termux

3. In termux, enter the following command:

logcat | grep Extended > /storage/emulated/0/logcat.txt

(You can copy and paste by press and hold)

4. Force close and launch the RVX again

5. After about 10 seconds, return to termux and click the CTRL button, and then click the C on the keyboard

6. The logcat.txt file generated in the internal storage (/sdcard/logcat.txt)

7. Upload logcat.txt

EDITED: The debug log does not appear to be displayed correctly on Termux..

[inotia00]

1. Download and install the Locat Reader app:

F-Droid (summary) F-Droid (direct download)

2. Enable USB debugging and grant permission by entering the following command from the CMD on your PC:

adb shell "pm grant com.dp.logcatapp android.permission.READ_LOGS && am force-stop com.dp.logcatapp"

3. Launch the Locat Reader app

4. Move to 3dot menu - Filters

5. Click the + button and type it like a screenshot:

and then, click OK

6. In RVX, turn on the following settings:

   Settings - ReVanced Extended - Miscellaneous - Enable debug logging

7. Force close and launch the RVX again

8. After about 10 seconds, back to the Locat Reader app and screen capture

Okay, tysm, I will do this later

[GucekPL]

@inotia00 I have only 2 logs after opening RVX

[inotia00]

Thanks.. I think the Cairo icon cannot be identified by the Enum value (requires deeper debugging)

It seems that a fix is ​​only possible when this A/B test is applied to my account

btw Cairo icon for navigation bar was added in YouTube 19.20.35, so using YouTube 19.16.39 may solve the issue

[inotia00]

One last thing, please test that the Hide navigation labels setting works

[GucekPL]

Works

@inotia00 1 hour ago, Google reverted for my account new Cairo-icons, so all works perfectly again. LMAO 😅
