[Question] Did anyone else encounter such high battery drain from Micro G?
This is a known issue with YouTube constantly connecting to an unavailable API. The github issue was closed by the team, but the user provided a patch that was never merged. https://github.com/TeamVanced/Vanced/issues/1220 I'd be very happy if someone patched the latest APK with this patch.

Vanced alternative for an ancient phone with JB Android 4.2.2?
I haven't tried SkyTube but looking at their GitHub it seems the video player it relies on is the cause of the issue and is also needing minimum 5.0: https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/issues/1062

Can anyone fix the old youtube app?
Legacy requires Android 4.0 minimum, it was branched out to Legacy due to crashes and development burden getting the main one to work properly. You can find it here.

Missing device(s) to "Cast to"
Interesting. I can recommend Skytube extra for casting without ads. Smarttubenext seems to be another good option if you have the newest chromecast with google tv or an android tv box (which I don't)
