Protobuf-spoof patch on old YT-versions

[s7san007]

Is it possible to implement the protobuf-spoof patch by manually editing the smali code (copy-paste) or something else? I need YouTube Vanced 16.02.35 with protobuf-spoof. A week ago 16.02.35 stopped working.

Maybe you can.

There is a person who implemented protobuf-spoof on YouTube 16.40.36.

Therefore, I think that protobuf-spoof can be implemented in 16.02.35 as well.

Please note that you need both client-spoof and protobuf-spoof patches to avoid the problem.

client-spoof -> Remove "The following content is ..." screen
protobuf-spoof -> Prevent infinite buffering issue

Btw, what's the reason why do you need 16.02.35?
