YouTube ReVanced for Android 6.0-7.1

An unofficial ReVanced Extended for YouTube 17.34.36.
Based on inotia00's ReVanced Extended v2.160.1

Overview

The last YouTube app available on Android 6 or 7 is 17.34.36, but the latest ReVanced and ReVanced Extended are not compatible with 17.34.36.

However, until ReVanced Extended v2.160.1, most of patches worked properly, although not officially supported.

So I forked RVX 2.160.1 and released this unofficial (yet another) ReVanced Patches for YouTube 17.34.36.
I fixed some issues in 2.160.1 and backported some features (including protobuf-spoof) from newer version.

Furthermore, I have successfully made ReVanced Manager work on Android 7.x.
So you can build it as easily as regular ReVanced and without Termux!
https://github.com/kitadai31/revanced-manager-android7
(For Android 6.0, please build in another way.)

However, due to stability and performance issues, if you have another newer device, you may want to use it.

For this "revanced-patches-android6-7" I have checked that the patch completes successfully on my main smartphone (Snapdragon 410, 2GB RAM, Android 7.1.1), but it took 45 minutes to complete.

Todo

I would like to quit developing based on 2.160.1 and remake it based on the latest RVX. (for well maintainability🔧, updated translation🌍 and new features✨)

I have skill issue...

Embarrassingly, I'm not very familiar with reverse engineering and also programming. (But I can read a little smali :D )
So I can not create new patches by myself. All my modifying are merely copy and paste.

If anyone else is interested in developing a ReVanced Patches for YouTube 17.34.36 besides me, please don't hesitate to release it!
If a more excellent ReVanced Patches for YouTube 17.34.36 is emerged, I will immediately stop releasing my one and introduce yours!

Also all contributions are welcomed!
