## What it is
ReVanced Extended (RVX) is a collection of patches for modifying Android apps, primarily YouTube, to add features like ad blocking, background playback, and UI customization. It is applied using the ReVanced patcher to produce modified APK builds.

## Use cases
- patch youtube to remove ads on android
- enable background playback in youtube
- customize youtube app ui and branding
- hide sponsored segments and shorts
- build a modified youtube apk with extra features

## When to choose
- you want an actively maintained fork of ReVanced patches with extended YouTube customization options
- you want fine-grained patch options like custom branding, start page, and ambient mode control

## When to avoid
- you want a prebuilt app rather than patching an APK yourself
- you need to patch non-Android applications
- you are unwilling to sideload modified APKs
