# SponsorBlock YouTube Vanced Implementation
In order to use this in YouTube/Vanced you must first apply the smali mods outlined in smali.md (if you mod vanced directly it is not required)
* First make your edits in android studio and then compile the code to a debug apk
* Decompile this apk using apktool https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool
* Take this decompiled folder and look for a folder labeled pl in one of your dex class folders (usually the second one)
* Decompile YouTube/Vanced using apktool (you only need to decompile the base apk files(for vanced you can get these using vanced manager and looking in android/data/com.vanced.manager for black or dark.apk), if you are decompiling stock youtube you must also merge a dpi split into it (todo))
* Copy the pl folder from earlier into the 4th dex class folder (remove any existing one completely first)
* Recompile your modded YouTube/Vanced using apktool and sign it + all splits required for your device using the same key
