Hey guys, sad announcement unfortunately.
I knew it was coming soon, since they were actively blocking my mods. I just received a cease and desist letter from Snapchat's lawyers for infringement of their intellectual property. And they're right, I am infringing their intellectual property. I won't be taking any further risks and will comply with their requirements to settle. I have and am going to remove everything, including SnapMod, Keepchat and Snapshare.
It's been a fun ride. I really loved developing it and really improved my skills. But I knew it had to stop some time. I understand they're not happy with it and there's no other option than to honour their requests. I'm going to think of something else to develop, of course it'll be open source. Something like an app (don't know what yet) or rom development for example. New challenges, new things to learn.
I'm going to remove everything from AndroidFileHost and the Xposed repository, ask the mods to close this thread and remove it after a few days, when most of you have had the chance to read this message.
I'm really sorry guys, I hope you understand I have to quit. I do understand them. Thanks for being such a loyal community.

v4.2.3 - 2015-01-30
This version is compatible with Snapchat 9.0.1.0 up to 9.0.2.0.
Fix sweep to save:
In Snapchat 9.0.x they changed the way snaps are loaded. They used load the image/video once the timer of the previous one was finished. However, in the newer versions they load the next snap while the current one is viewed. When sweep to save was performed, it used to save the latest snap. This didn't work properly any more, because they load the next one in advance and so the latest loaded snap is the next one, resulting in the next image being saved when performing the gesture on the current one. This is worked around now. :good:

Just go into settings and change the destination folder, I have all my snaps save to one folder and have done for the whole time using keepchat. That would be the only way, its down to the gallery app, not keepchat. Gallery apps just look for images in a folder, with no sub directories.

That has nothing to do with Keepchat. Keepchat only saves the images, it's up to your gallery app how it displays those pictures. If you want that, you should look for a gallary app which meets your needs.

What he said.......
(And I did actually say in my first post, lol)
Thanks for taking over Keepchat! And also thanks to @Ramis for all of this work. And for the people before him.
Hope you can keep this up-to-date with Snapchat versions and very much luck!
Thanks!
@P1nGu1n_ what's your first plan of attack pal?
@P1nGu1n_ So I have no idea how much work this would involve or even if you support the idea, but given Xposed's lack of support for ART in the foreseeable future, what are your thoughts on forking this project into a standalone app?
I know there are currently a handful of Snapchat clones that support saving snaps, but they are all either horribly outdated (e.g. no support for stories or messages) or frighteningly unsafe (The Snappening). I think an open-source, up-to-date app from a trusted dev would fill a big hole for users who can't root their device or install the Xposed framework.
I hope I'm not coming across as entitled or ungrateful, I'm just a regular Keepchat and Snapshare user, and losing both after updating to Lollipop kind of sucks. Having a Snapchat alternative that would work on Android 5.0 and be available on something like f-droid would be awesome.

First I'm going to convert the project from Eclipse to gradle (Android Studio). Second I'm going to refactor and clean the code, mainly internal improvements. Than I'm going to look into making the captions on videos optional. Of course I'll add support for new versions when it's necessary. That's it at the moment, don't know any other features to implement yet. If anyone has suggestions (and I mean only doable and useful features), I'm open to it
And yes, I'm sorry I haven't start working on Keepchat yet. I've been so busy this week and I took this project over unexpectedly, but it was a no-brainer.

That would involve an enormous amount of work. There's no point forking this project, this 100% depends on Xposed and has no future without it.
I do get what you mean and I agree with you, there are no great alternatives at the moment. Another app not requiring Xposed would still require root, because it needs to get the images from the data folder from Snapchat. The only solution not requiring root is modifying a Snapchat APK, which sucks, as you stated yourself. My OnePlus One will get Android L in 3 months, I hope Xposed will be compatible by then. If not, I might create an app for it, but that will require root. So I'm sorry, I can't help you at the moment. Keepchat really is the best solution at the moment and it is open source.
@P1nGu1n_ I can't wait for you to begin work. Can you make the first order to get this thing working again. This latest update doesn't work anymore. Just on stories. Good luck with it.

Running 3.6.3 with Snapchat 5.0.38.2, several people confirmed it working. Probably something's not working on your side, can you enable debugging in settings, try to save a snap and post your log? Might give us a clue about what's going on and why it's not working for you.

I did an uninstall/ fresh reinstall of both snapchat and the module and it is working fine. Not sure what the glitch was about I am good to go. Thanks.

Run only the apps you want at system start.
With this app modul you could prevent selected apps of running on system startup. Only apps with the permission BOOT_COMPLETED are shown in the list. System apps are marked with an exclamation mark.
To restrict system apps you have to donate. ReceiverStop accepts this donate key too!
Important:
This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation. Don't forget to enable the module in Xposed. You can grab it here: Xposed Installer
Donation:
No self-promotion in the app.
System apps could also be selected
You support this app and further development!
Website: http://tinyurl.com/p2lsmou
Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/nfd3ftm
Xposed Repository: http://tinyurl.com/ogfq3t7
Changelog: http://tinyurl.com/k75vfbv
My personal intension to create this app:
IMHO the best way to prevent apps from beeing executed at sytsem startup is with Xposed - and there was now module/app available. So i created one
Translation:
You could find here a interface to translate the english strings: http://tinyurl.com/okycacj
A free account of www.oneskyapp.com is required to edit. Additional, please attach your email address or send it via PM
Description for non-developers:
Each app with permission "android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" is placed in a (Windows slang) "startup folder". For my 200 installed apps that are about 33%. On system boot every of these apps gets started. Possible options:
app shows a notification
app starts a (hidden) service in background
app exits again (eg user has set an option)
If you disable an app in the BootManager it does not get that event and is not started at next system boot.
ReceiverStop
An app still starts at system boot? Android has many other events which could start an app!
Example: Skype has the permission "android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS". This means, (again Windows slang) if you insert a DVD into you drive, "autorun" is executed and starts Skype.
Note: As your sd-card is mostly always inserted, this could be used to start apps at system boot....
Other triggers are: A BlueTooth device (dis-)connect, connection type changes (2g/3g/wlan) or power adapter is (un-)plugged.
All these could be restriced with my other app "ReceiverStop". Be carefull and do not disable the wrong.
Btw, ReceiverStop accepts also the donate key of BootManager.

Not just the link that redirects to homepage or Play Store...
Hi Defim,
Thank you for this module This is a good job
Why not other languages ? Just German & English ?
I would like the French, please, if possible

At list provide here in xda for experimental basis.
So we can check and give you reviews.
Also provide change logs here.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
There is yet in-app changelog and on both other sites. I do not really want to update a 4th place. -> i places only links to 1st post
You should post change log here also, so every mate can know what changes made in new version instead of opening every time that site.

Found that system apps are removed in 1.0.2 version but they are available in 1.0.0
Donation switch also not working or directing to payment method.

I seems that it doesn't work at all.
I have adaway, go backup, audiomanager, gnotes, pulse,skype they all loaded at the boot time.
If defim tried using the code that was pulled from XPrivacy very early on it's not going to be sufficient. One of the main reason the code was pulled was that apps were still triggering.
Autostarts is an alternative and it is available at f-droid.org
Changelog is now only available on this site, updating 5 places takes much more time than writing java. http://tinyurl.com/k75vfbv (english translation will there be soon)

Thera are many triggers which could start an app, like connection-changes. e.g. the app com.mobidia.android.mdm has even not onboot-trigger, but stars always. Next app will be for disabling such events...

thanks. I checked the debug.log it does indicate that bootmanager does try to reject.
Would you please just investigate why skype/audio manager still load after boot?
the app I listed is quite common apps.

Skype uses the "MEDIA_MOUNTED" action, that should the cause why the app is executed. The action is triggered if a sdcard is inserted/detected,even on boot.
@defim, it's too early to make a paid version, don't you? I think that at the beginning it's better to give it free, having more testers for your new module than this way.
For example, I don't know if you are going to mantain this apk, so I prefer to wait some time before paying for it (and also others).
What do you think?
And also keep in mind that there are a lot of others apk that make the same without paying (autorun...). Anyway, it´s your decision dev
thanks for the info. what the hell with skype to start auto when sd card is inserted.

Maybe it' no clear, so i will clarify that i really prefer your module. I have uninstalled the other app because i prefer free source.
Please keep it up
Everyone will complain if at a specific point some featurs of an app will be restricted. So it is better to have it from the beginning. Beside that, you could "test" the modul as long as you want for free
If I maintain my apps until eternity could noone tell you. But you could take look at the changelog of other apps by me, eg FreetzMobil (http://tinyurl.com/ktzhcl3)
Handling of broadcasts like the "MEDIA_MOUNTED" are work in progress
I apologize if creating a new thread was wrong but this issue is a big one. Developers must notice this.
Greenify is undoubtedly one of most amazing apps that exist. thus such issues are frustrating.
Greenify was smart enough to not put running foreground apps (music players, maps or any app in use) to put into hibernation. it used to say "not hibernating xyz" .
I am on CM12.1 20150820 nightly. Using greenify 2.7beta5 . rooted. (no xposed)
Greenify was working just fine till i was on Cm version 20150811.
Basically it is unusable now. Either you don't use Greenify or keep the display on forever.
Please fix this guys . It was a greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat feature.
I do not know whether this is related to recent CM updates, but I am also running Greenify on CyanogenMod 12.1 (20150816 nightly) and Greenify is hibernating Spotify while it is playing (despite it's ongoing event notification). If I remember correctly, previously Spotify was not hibernated while playing in background (however I am not 100% sure). Both Greenify latest stable and latest beta versions have this issue (I was running stable and then updated to beta while trying to resolve this issue). Can anyone else confirm this?
Could @oasisfeng look at this?
Probably we should continue discussion in this thread.
2.7 Beta 6 is rolling out with a new implementation to detect foreground app via the app usage stats permission.
But unfortunately, this new implementation can only detect foreground app, but not background app with on-going notification. The latter will be supported in a future version, due to its implementation complexity.

2.7 Beta 6 is rolling out with a new implementation to detect foreground app via the app usage stats permission.
But unfortunately, this new implementation can only detect foreground app, but not background app with on-going notification. The latter will be supported in a future version, due to its implementation complexity.

Thanks! Have you identified changes in CM creating this problem? CM guys are great, but sometimes they make bugs too! Once my Jelly Bean 4.x Airplane Mode Helper (btw working on Lollipop as well) got broken by a change in CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base. I informed authors of the change about side effects (broken APIs) of that change and they got fixed pretty soon.
If the Greenify breaking API changes were introduced by CyanogenMod (and not by Google), then IMHO @oasisfeng should inform CyanogenMod team about the fact they have broken API compatibility with native Android, and most likely CM will fix the broken APIs. I think best way to do it is by writing comments in CyanogenMod's Gerrit to the breaking patch sets.

Unfortunately, it's an upstream change in AOSP made by Google. So I bet we have little chance arguing that change.

Thanks! I know from discussion on Google+ about the CyanogenMod 12.1 Change 105861 that is comming from AOSP and has broken Greenify.
Could you please try adding
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" />
to the manifest of next beta? Then I could do
Code:
pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
as root, test Greenify and report back to you whether this has resolved the issue.
Permission name INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL comes from Change 105861, file ActivityManagerService.java line 12547 (in Patch Set 1). Looks like either INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL or REAL_GET_TASKS permission is required.
Update! Sorry! Looks like nor android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL, nor android.permission.REAL_GET_TASKS can be granted by pm grant.
@oasisfeng May be getActiveNotifications() from NotificationListenerService could help detecting applications having ongoing event notifications (by checking isOngoing() and getPackageName() of returned notifications)?
Hope this issue gets fixed :/
@oasisfeng
Any news?
I have exactly the same problem with greenify and cm12.1 (on latest nightly). Effectively removes all the benefits of greenify and turns it into a liability when it shuts down apps I'm relying on. Obviously I am not complaining about the dev as it isn't their fault at all, but it is really annoying.

Twitter Ad Eater is a module for the Xposed/LSPosed framework that attempts to remove ads from the Twitter Android application.
Currently tested on Android 11 / latest LSPosed but should work on other versions as well.
Downloads: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater/releases
Source code: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater
Report issue: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater/issues
Thank you! Can confirm this works with the latest EdXposed 0.5.2.2_4683.
Working with Android 11 / EdXposed 0.5.2.2_4683 / OP5T
May I post a feature request?!
It seems you are filtering out all the views containing the string "promoted". Could you like add an option for custom strings?!
For example, I really don't wish to see k-pop news popping up on my trending page! So I could add the string "K-Pop" (is it case sensitive?)
Cheers!

The code searches for the "promoted" string in the view id, not in the content of the tweets. It is really hard to find out exactly the content of the tweets because the structure of the Twitter app UI is very complex and also the whole app is scrambled with ProGuard, so it's not easy to reverse-engineer anything.
I will add your request to the TODO list and keep it in mind in case I will find a way to get tweet content.

these feature will be too strong. imagine opening elon's tweet replies without bitcoin and youtube links. btw awesome moves dev thanks
Yeah, looking forward to the potential new features. Any updates coming soon, @ppawelppawel? I'm pretty much glued to your Github looking for changes.
Sorry, been busy with work in the last few weeks, but will try to add some more filtering features soon.
just want to throw out there that I love this module, it's so simple yet so effective because nothing else removes the ridiculous promoted ads (tried dns level blocking & minminguard). on a side note, I wish we had a module to remove the same type of ads in the official reddit app, but that's wishful thinking.
Does the app work on Android 8? I can't install in on my phone running Oreo now.
Not sure if it will work but LSPosed at least supports Android 8.1 so I will try to release a version with proper SDK requirements so you can try it out - right now at least Android 10 is required by the apk I think.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the module is quite simple but there is one flaw - if you scroll up and down your timeline, you will notice that the whole view is jumping around, like it skips one or two posts sometimes. This is because the way the module works - it hides the posts that are ads and it is visible when you scroll.
It would be much better to take out the ads before they get added to the timeline view but it's very complicated to figure out how the Twitter app works as everything is obfuscated and it's a huge code base to analyze.
Anyway, thanks again, glad you enjoy it.

Can't go lower than that because of LSPosed compatibility.

Thanks for your work. Works on Oreo with LSPosed without problem!
Any updates planned? Hoping this isn't abandoned again like the old Twitter ad killer.
I hope updates will come when necessary, but for now it works fine!
Is it not possible to do this using something like adaway?
Thanks. It works fine on android 11 .
It works fine if you're scrolling down, but try to scroll up on the feed and Twitter will jump all over the place. It gets the job done, but could use some improvement.
Works perfectly on Android 11, thanks

Hi, I wonder why you care about privacy and at the same time recommend Signal/whatsapp/duckduckgo.
Although the rom seems promising.
Glad to see Calyx for our Poco!!! Thanks for your work!
So far I only noticed that the "Display cutout" settings does not work properly (to hide the notch). Otherwise it runs really great!

You should also updates the Notes in OP: Not encrypted by default to Encrypted by default, since in ur recent changelog you wrote that you fixed it.

It is still not encrypted by default unlike in A11. Earlier it wouldn't boot if you were encrypted, now you can manually encrypt and it will boot.

Hmm I see. It would be nice if you could work to make it encrypted by default especially in this ROM. However I understand it may need some of your time.
BTW, I checked fast some screenshots, I saw some dots, seems there is a padding issue in status bar. (not sure tho since I checked from screenshots, I haven't tried the ROM yet). If you want take a look at crDroid values here, it may help with padding.
Does this build also receive OTA updates? Wishful thinking I'm sure, but i'm very interested. Do you have any plans to bring your project up to the newest iteration of CalyxOS? I think it's on 4.6.0 now. Any clarity you can offer on how your build copes with updates and what other manufacturer specific updates you've had to keep an eye on would be good to know as well please.
I think your build might have a specific application at the intersection of privacy fanaticism and audiophile listening with external DAC/AMP. The user can luxuriate in the use of interchangeable micro SD storage slots and the infinitely expandable, offline library it affords them. This means they can do away with depending on an internet connection and subscriptions to lossless music services like Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, etc.
Alternatives in the android-based DAP market often have limited, non-expandable storage, and rely on versions of android which are outdated but no less privacy invasive. Whereas using a Poco F1 with custom ROM opens things up entirely. It also allows users to incrementally upgrade their DAC whilst always relying on this phone as their DAP playing hi-res files over USB. No need to upgrade DAP.
I'm really keen to learn how you built this. I think this phone is an ideal candidate for DIY, cost-effective, privacy respecting lossless listening.

Here is an Xposed Module for hooking Grindr to fix a few bugs, and deal with ads and other things, given those have made the app almost unusable...
These will change over time / need to be updated as new versions of Grindr get releaseed, this currently works with 8.10.0 which is now rolling out.
-This should allow you to unsend messages multiple times (a feature of the XMPP Protocol used by Grindr) as long as they were relatively recent messages
-This should also allow you to send as many expiring photos as you wish.
-This should block / remove most ads but not all of them on it's own (more info on this will be shared below...)
-This should allow you to use FakeGPS
-This should fix bugs where some filters were not working as they should
-You should be able to enable the "mark who I've chatted with" option, which before would pop up ads
This will not enable things such as disabling the VPN check (someone complained about this where I was posting before) If I enable this I will let you know, but for now it's not in here
I WILL NOT help you troubleshoot device specific problems, I am releasing this as an Xposed module, and that's where it's been tested, It has also worked under EdXposed and LSPosed but I cannot guarantee this for you, and you are on your own if you have problems with those. I have tested this on everything from Android 5 to Android 10, I have not tested on the newest versions of the Android OS but if you have XPosed or other way of running such modules on the newer OS it should work.
This will make your grid look like it's Unlimited, but if you scroll down to that area and select one of those profiles it may load the first profile in the grid, The main reason for this module was to deal with the annoyance of ads and other slight bugs in the program, if you have issues please share what they are and what did / didn't work properly.
TO REMOVE MORE ADS
----------------------------------
If you can run XPosed I will assume you have root access, which will allow you to remove ads completely with this method. Grindr processes "features" and the list inside the app is as follows
Subscriber,
FreeTrial,
HideBannerAds, <====
HideFullScreenAds, <====
UnlimitedFavorites,
UnlimitedBlocks,
MyTypeFilters,
PhotosOnlyFilter,
OnlineNowFilter,
FaceOnlyFilter,
AlbumsOnlyFilter,
HaventChattedFilter,
ChatRemoteProfiles,
TapRemoteProfiles,
SavedPhrases,
HaveChattedHighlight,
LongCascade,
TapFilters,
SendMultiplePics,
MoreChatGroups,
LastChattedTimestamp,
ChatReadStatus,
MultiTribes,
Incognito,
ViewedMeCascade,
ViewedMeTimestamp,
UnsentMessage,
UnlimitedCascade,
TypingIndicator,
CreateVideoCall,
VideoCallMonthlyCalculateLengthMedium,
TranslateMessage,
UnlimitedExpiringPhotos,
HideXtraStore,
HideUnlimitedStore,
ShortCascade,
MediumCascade,
MoreGuysCascade,
DisableScreenshot,
Boosting,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelFront,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelBehind,
NewWarnings,
LongTagCascade,
UnlimitedTagCascade;
It also processes some "features" through a file called "jwt_features_fallback.xml" which is located in "/data/data/com.grinderapp.android/shared_prefs" normally this files looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<long name="session_expiration_time" value="1654228104000" />
<string name="session_features_fallback">CreateVideoCall,,MaxViewQuota5,,MultiTribes,,PushPreview,,VideoCallDailyFree</string>
<string name="session_roles_fallback"></string>
</map>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you add the "features" in there HideFullScreenAds and HideBannerAds that will remove the remaining ads so you have a hassle free experience when using the app. These changes only last one hour, and this patcher does not adjust that file as this is currently beyond my knowledge and know-how so you will have to do this manually. If you have questions, please try something and if you need help please ask and I will respond as time permits or others can if they have fixed problems and know how.

I hope I won't get banned like some guys who used a similar mod before. Once they block you, there's practically no way of getting your account reinstated.
So far it works as intended. No ads whatsoever, filters and cloud backup work, more guys visible in the cascade.
Any chance of making it possible to see more than 1 visitor?
My phone S20 Ultra with Android 12, latest Magisk Alpha and LSposed 1.8.3 (6565). When using LSposed you need to add Grindr to the scope list to make the mod work.

There are many things possible, the issue is figuring out what needs to be done to make the viewers list show up. I have looked at the code slightly but have not made much progress there yet. If you use Jadx you can view the code in the APK if anyone is wondering what tools I've used, that is one of the main ones for viewing various parts of the apk file.

Hello and good morning, @innit
I'd like to inform you that I've very slightly edited your post and changed those words, which were in violation of rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules; however, I'm convinced that my change didn't alter the information you intended to pass. I'd appreciate if you watch your language closer in future.
Additionally and although I'm convinced you didn't mean it that way, the words you initially used could at the first glace been easily referred to the moderators team of this website. I guess we want to avoid this.
