RVX UltraLock is a customized version of YouTube ReVanced Extended (RVX) designed for digital wellbeing. It introduces a powerful Ultra Lock mechanism that prevents access to the YouTube se[...]
The hallmark feature of this build. Found under RVX Settings > Miscellaneous, it allows you to:
- Lifetime Lock: Permanently block access to all RVX and native YouTube settings.
- Limited Time Lock: Lock settings for a specific number of hours (e.g., 1, 10, or 100 hours).
- Hard Enforcement: Once locked, the app will automatically exit the settings menu and show a toast notifying you of the remaining time.
The app keeps you informed when you attempt to enter the "danger zone":
- Download the APK: Grab the latest
rvx-ultralock-default.apkfrom the Releases page. - Install MicroG (Required): For non-rooted devices, you must install GmsCore (MicroG) to sign in.
- Enjoy Focus Mode: Open the app, go to Settings > RVX Settings > Miscellaneous, toggle Ultra Lock, and choose your poison.
This project is built upon the incredible work of the following developers:
- Anddea: For maintaining the high-quality YouTube RVX patches used as the foundation for this project.
- ReVanced Team: For creating the revolutionary patching framework that makes these modifications possible.
This repository contains the source code for the patches and the shared extension logic used to build RVX UltraLock.
- Clone the repository.
- Run
./gradlew :patches:buildto build the patch bundle. - Use the
revanced-clito apply the generated patches to a clean YouTube APK.
You can import the following minimalist configuration into RVX via Settings > RVX Settings > Miscellaneous > Import settings. You may either paste the config as text or save it as a .txt file and import the file.
Import as text (recommended):
- Open RVX -> Settings -> RVX Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Import settings -> Import as text.
- Paste the JSON block shown below and save.
Import from a .txt file:
- Download the pre-made file: minimalist-config.txt (or create a file named
minimalist-config.txtand paste the RVX-format block below). - In the app, choose Import settings -> Import from file and select the file.
Note: RVX accepts two formats:
- JSON (for the "Import as text" flow) — full JSON object with surrounding { }.
- RVX .txt format (line-delimited key:value pairs without surrounding braces) — useful for "Import from file" when the app expects plain lines.
JSON (for Import as text):
