Been using since few days on my first gen fire stick. Feels like another world completely. No more bloated YouTube app and MUCH faster
The only feature missing is the streaming from the phone
You can cast videos from your phone, you just have to connect it somewhere in the settings (can't really check right now but I'm sure I've used it)
I tried but it opened the YouTube app instead
I haven't tried it with the official YouTube app, but in YouTube revanced, there is a "watch on tv" settings that would let you pair with SmartTube. This would turn the cast button from casting to Chromecast to casting to SmartTube, though you'll need to have SmartTube running first.
In Smarttube, go into settings and link device or something similar (edit: remote control). On your phone, go into settings and link TV and input the code Smarttube will give you.
It acts more as a remote, you need to have Smarttube already opened. It's not perfect, it's a decent compromise.
On my Android box running SmartTube, I can cast to it a few seconds after it's booted up. No need to open the app first.
Sounds like the devices aren't properly connected yet. In the settings of the SmartTube app, go to Remote Control to find the numbers you need in order to connect to SmartTube. Then, in the YouTube app (unmodded or Revanced) on your phone, hit the Cast-button, then "Connect with TV-code". Enter the code, and you're ready to cast. Next time you want to cast a video, just hit the Cast-button and select the device with its name ending in "(SmartTube)".
