Hello. I have been using keep chat for a while now.. But when I upgraded to version 4.0 from 3.4.2 I have a problem. Everytime I open snap chat all of my settings are back to default. 3s snaps no sound notification ect. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and knows what I can do to fix it . I thought maybe it was just a bug and upgraded to the other version released today, 4.0.1. It did not help. Thanks in advance

Snapchat : 8.0

keepchat 4.0.1

Android: 4.1.2 (Jellybean)

Device: Samsung Tab 3.0

Also would like to see chat pictures and videos saved, as a request. I thought the jump from 3.4.2. would have already had it, LOL.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
Did u read this:
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Yes, but since I don't use the chat myself, I want to finish other stuff first.

I don't know what causes this., but it's not caused by Keepchat. About saving chat images, see the reply above your quote :laugh:

He must have, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to install 4.0.1 :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
Fair point

Just checking the basics, lol :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] Neo210:
Yes.. I already did that before reading though..

Uninstalled old restart device. Installed snapchat 8.0. restarted device Had to upgrade Xposed framework. Upgraded. restarted device again. Installed 4.0. restarted device. Made active. Restarted device. Had problems. Uninstalled keepchat 4.0 restarted device. Installed keepchat 4.0.1 restarted device. Made active restarted device.

Wasn't sure if needed to list all this. but as I stated been using keepchat for a long time. I stopped at 3.4.x Decided to update to see if chat saving is a thing.. it's not.. but since I've upgraded my snapchat now I'm too lazy to downgrade. I would rather it report a screenshot when leaving chat than I had it reset my settings every time I close it. .

Keepchat and Snapshare both no longer functional after the latest Snapchat update. 8.1.0.0. Apk attached for you

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yif5t3ic1bg3426/Snapchat_8.1.0.0 Beta.apk?dl=0
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
At the moment I'm fiddling through Snapchat's code of viewing a snap/story. This is, however, one of the most complex parts of the app; it's extremely obfuscated, resulting in classes having fields, method parameters and anonymous classes of which it's hard to figure out where they're for. They use many abstract classes which they only extend once, making it a bit devious.

I'm making progress of unravelling this part of the code. With this knowledge I'll rewrite the 'ask to save' modus, making it less intrusive (hidden) and probably working with stories too.

Saving pics from the chat is next on the list, even though I've never used this (chat is pretty useless IMO)

Thanks, I'll check this out :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Neo210:
Wanted to apologize on my part for not testing everything about the settings saving. I am completely sorry. Thank you also for you time in helping me with my issue. I agree chat is useless, but people are putting pictures there. I guess they read a little and see that chat pictures aren't saved. Well the new version of Snapchat sounds like a pain .. Good luck. I'm happy using the version of keepchat that is currently out. Happy Holidays also, to everyone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
About the new version, this is the first one which will require a lot of changes at Keepchat. They refactored huge parts of the code. But it's not limited to just refactoring, many fields and parameters of methods have changed. This isn't simply changing a few method/field names, like adding support for a new version usually is, but quite some code might has to be rewritten. I think their code improved a lot, though. It was quite messy, they had giant classes. Now, they split all those big classes into smaller ones, making the spaghetti code I was talking about in the previous post easier to read.

Have you been able to solve your issues with Snapchat's settings not being sticky? I know, and even though I don't use it, there are people who do so that's why I still want to add it. For info about the new beta, check my statement above :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] rockingondrums:
I just thought I'd let everyone know I fixed my bug by switching back to cm11s (from og 11). It got weird somewhere along the way.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mv522:
It's now jumped to 8.1.0.6
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Stable or beta? No stable for me. In case of beta, mind uploading it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Drakomord:
Snapchat report screenshoted with this module now. It's normal ? :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
No, Keepchat prevents screenshot notifications from being sent out. Did you really screenshot or did someone receive it random? Because it's known that Snapchat sometimes randomly sends screenshot notifications, when no screenshot was taken at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mv522:
My bad it's beta. You can change the color of the text by hitting the T button

Problem with this module

I have a problem with your module, when I open a snap, it say me "Il y a eu un problème avec l'enregistrement de ce snap"

I joined my logs.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
In the log there were errors saying Keepchat had no permission to save the file. Probably caused restricted r/w privileges on the external SD-card introduced in Kitkat.

Try this, use it on my tablet myself: KitKat SD Card Full Access or just use your internal storage.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Neo210:
I did not resolve issue but since it is with snapchat, nothing much I can do.. I don't want to update until keepchat is ready. So for now I will deal with the settings resetting every close. Thanks for all your work .

bug

It's not working

It's always give me force stop massge
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Posts like these make me wonder what goes on in some people's mind, you think I'm a magician? How am I supposed to know what's wrong if you don't provide a single bit of information. Read the OP.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ahmedhzaki:
[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] you are a magician. Keepchat and snapshare are pure magic.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
This one made me laugh pretty hard :D:good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] ahmedhzaki:
[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] least I can do.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agentbardall:
future plans

may i ask what the future plans will be?(if there are any)

of the app being made available for lollipop

as i know xposed is unlikely to ever work on it due to the developer having no time to create it for ART?
[Xposed Framework Modules] sfiodsh:
Read the OP for the Todo list.

Also, [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] has stated that he doesn't want to create a standalone app because that would require hacking the snapchat app instead of just working around it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
You may sure ask. The first two things I want to do are add compatibility for the new beta's (as a new stable version of Snapchat will probably be released in the near future) and improving the 'ask to save' functionality. Afterwards looking into saving pics sent through the chat.

Currently there are no plans of creating a separate app without the dependency of the Xposed Framework. I'm still hoping Xposed Framework will be ported to Lollipop. If my OnePlus One will get the upgrade to CM12 and Xposed still is not compatible, I will consider writing a new app. This means I would have to start from scratch because this is way different without Xposed to hack from the inside but root to hack from the outside.

In short, when my phone gets updated to Lollipop and there's no other option I probably will write a new app, but I'd rather not and definitely not on short term. Thereafter, I'd miss Snapshare more than I'd miss Keepchat. Snapshare without Xposed is not possible. No Snapshare is withdrawing me the most from upgrading to Lollipop.

Thanks for understanding, P1ngu1n

[Xposed Framework Modules] travvoll:
Is anyone else having problems with photos not showing? They are being saved but aren't visible in gallery until after i reboot my phone. Using 4.0.1 uninstalled old version before installing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tarroyo:
Agreed, this has kept me from running any custom roms as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] baptiste28:
Hi,

With 8.1.0 update, my snaps is not saved... Update of keepchat is coming ?

Thx.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Thanks, stable too :)

I just got the update, I'll work at it tonight. Considering the huge changes, I don't think I'll be able to finish it this evening, unfortunately.

Yes, the update will come. When it's ready.

Keepchat calls the media scanner to scan the saved picture. The media scanner should index it, resulting in the picture showing up in the gallery. Do you happen to changed the behaviour of the media scanner by the Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer module for example? If not, you could enable debugging in Keepchat settings, try saving a picture and share me your Xposed Log and a logcat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rafael200898:
I wait for The update, i'm in the 8.1.0.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agentbardall:
this is the only thing stopping me going to lollipop i tried it but moment i realised no xposed therefore no keepchat i wiped n put my old rom back

thank you very much for replying and clearing that up u sir are a legend
[Xposed Framework Modules] arabx:
Thank you .. versiona 4.0.1 is working very good
[Xposed Framework Modules] mv522:
Sent you a donation. Thank you for this great app and snapshare. I hope others can do the same.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
You are very welcome, it's really nice to hear your enjoying both modules. Thanks for the donation! :D

By the way, you sir, have my 600th post ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Quick status update, time to sleep now (2AM). There's some progress, a part is finished. I strive to get the second part done tomorrow or Saturday, hopefully.

No promises of course. Full-time internship + school + side job = little free time :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Agret:
Can someone please post the last supported Snapchat release, think it was 8.0.2beta?
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
The latest compatible stable version is 8.0.1, I've attached it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] maz.b:
KeepChat isn't working now :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Howlin1:
Really? Is working fine for me....
[Xposed Framework Modules] maz.b:
With the new Snapchat update it isn;t working anymore :Z
[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
Seriously people, have u not learnt yet???

TURN OFF AUTO UPDATE!!!!!!

Then, only update the app when a version of KeepChat is released that supports the newest version of SnapChat. Or, make a back up of the last working version of SnapChat using Titanium Back Up and if u update by mistake, u can just restore the working version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] maz.b:
Or just wait for the new update of KeepChat.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)

Sent from my phone, please forgive any tpyos.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Hard to say without knowing which version of Keepchat and Snapchat you're using, to be honest. The log makes me think your Keepchat and Snapchat version aren't compatible, but that's just a guess.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muscularcandy67:
With Snapchat 8.1.0 the module doesn't work
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Sorry, I couldn't resist...

It has been mentioned a dozen times already.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ddasd:
Update on a way?
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Picking it up right now. Unfortunately, I've been very very sick the past two days. I'm feeling a little better and think I can handle working on it again :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] ddasd:
tyt :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] 65vdub:
Hope you feel better soon!
[Xposed Framework Modules] f0xy:
By God you don't have time to be sick these impatient users want that update before SnapChat updates!!

Happy Holidays mucka ;) xxx
[Xposed Framework Modules] Adam3Sixty:
How dare u be sick??

Get back to working on something that no one has paid u to do, and probably won't actually say thank u for when u do finish it!

Come on, how inconsiderate can u be??

LOLZ!!

If people updated, their fault :P

Hope u feel better, don't rush with an update, its Christmas, relax, have a break and get back to it when ur good and ready!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
I've been able to code between the sleeps in. Because of the huge changes, I rewrote almost every vital part of Keepchat. Way cleaner and more flexible code. Still some exceptions to solve, but there's definitely progress :good:

Thanks, I'm feeling better already :) Trying to go to work tomorrow again.

I know, lots of pressure :P

You enjoy the holidays too! Your comments always cheer me up ;)

You're right, I'm sorry. I'll never be sick again when Keepchat is not compatible yet :crying:

Thank Adam, enjoy your Christmas too!
[Xposed Framework Modules] 65vdub:
I might start working tomorrow as well, once I get a bit saved up I'll throw a little Christmas present your way to show some appreciation. Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] jbag1489:
Has anyone noticed videos from a story saving/playing back wonky? Like it won't store the aspect ratio or something.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thousand56:
Could you somehow make it so it asks if you want to save stories? I always have issues with stories not autosaving.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muscularcandy67:
The module work but it saves all image in one folder
[Xposed Framework Modules] rgshah3:
[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] i don't know which thread to post it in, but can you add full caption compatibility to Snapchat? Like unlimited text
[Xposed Framework Modules] f0xy:
There is already a module for that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rgshah3:
None of those developers are active! Haven't updated their modules in a very long time! While [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] updates very regularly, which is why I asked him
[Xposed Framework Modules] f0xy:
We're swaying OT here, you're asking him to support a completely different feature than keepchat does.

If the said module isn't working rollback your snapchat version until module is updated?
[Xposed Framework Modules] alexx1223:
You are very funny you know, you already asked that in the 'snapprefs' thread before, which is a module that does what you ask, and if you look one page back in that thread you can read that the developer wrote:

The developer seems active to me...
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
The snapchat full caption module still works, why does it need to be updated?

And why would that have anything to do with a keepchat module?

[Xposed Framework Modules] qrauf:
Sent snaps don't seem to be saving

Hey there, hope you're feeling better!

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be donating, best app ever and is always being updated. Unfortunately, the sent snaps don't seem to be saving, so I hope you can do something about that when you're feeling better. Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] esun:
I registered to be able to say thank you for your work! I helped translate the project and I'm glad the project is growing and improving.

:good:

I'm familiar with Java and to some extent Android development. Could I in some way further help the project?
[Xposed Framework Modules] v2.2v:
I can confirm that. Sent snaps aren't saved. 8.1 Snapchat
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Wow, this thread has been very active since I went to sleep, which is always positive. Tonight I'll continue the development where I left of yesterday :D

This already is the next day to me, I work on sunday each week. You are very welcome! Don't feel obligated, donations are completely voluntary. :)

I already started working on an improved way of the ask to save, which I want it to work with stories too. But tell me about those issues, never had any reports about that. You're not using Snapchat 8.1.0? Because this one is incompatible at the moment.

Check Keepchat Settings, you can set how and where you want images to be sorted and saved.

Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad to hear it! I always try to update my modules as fast as possible. Because I've been sick and a lot changes had to be made, it looks longer than usual this time, unfortunately.

Hey, luckily I'm feeling better today. That's strange, sure you enabled it in Keepchat settings? If so, please enable debugging in Keepchat Settings, try saving a sent snap and share your log with me. Than I'll take a look at it :good:

That's very nice of you, I always love reading thank you notes :) Thank you for your contribution too!

Feel free to pull Keepchat's source from GitHub and check if it suits you. One of the reasons I love open source. :good:

Experience with Android development, decompiling APK's and Xposed development is probably needed. You can always sent pull requests.

Nothing works with Snapchat 8.1.0, it's not compatible yet. :P
[Xposed Framework Modules] v2.2v:
Lmao well there we go lol sorry ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] john_0405:
Please add support for new snapchat update , and fix UI menu , keepchat crashes whenever I open it. Besides that , great work !
[Xposed Framework Modules] EXV:
Just wanted to remind you on top of the billions of other annoying and useless post here that this module doesn't work with the latest Snapchat. Stop being sick, stop whatever you're doing with work, and fix this right away!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Frostbiter:
So keepchat is working for me with the latest snapchat beta, in a way. It still is saving some, or all, of the pictures but I don't get the notification of asking to save the snaps, idk about stories since I never save them anyways. Check your gallery I just did and there are the images and videos from a few days ago along with all the way back to whenever it stopped prompting me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bchampy:
It's partially working for me as well. Received snaps are saved normally, but stories are all saved in one folder. Sent snaps aren't saved at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Hawaiisa:
[MENTION=5329910]john_0405[/MENTION] Please take your time to read at least a couple of the posts before you post youself! There are multiple pages of this thread already addressing the incompatibility with v8.1 and that it's being worked on. Until the next keepchat version is released, I would suggest you revert to v8.0.1 and disable automatic updates of snapchat in the play store.
[Xposed Framework Modules] savvymatthew:
Love the app. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next update ☺.

Thank you for all your hard work must be hard keeping up with all the updates snapchat has been putting out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] juupi:
That's exactly why I love xda community. We respect and listen to each other (e.g. as of now when pinguin hasn't been very well we hope him better times and fully understand the time what it takes). People are sending donations even though this could practically be free. The amount of kindness and smileys sometimes makes me smile while reading this thread.

Like always, thanks for making this snapsaving possible. :)

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker.

[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Couldn't have said it better. But it's not just the XDA community, Keepchat has a community itself :) This community has a great sense of humour, which I love. Everyone is kind and helping each other. Yeah, I love this place. Almost as much as I love developing :D

Have fun watching the game tomorrow, pal! :)

Just to let everyone know about the progress. I decided to do a 100% rewrite of the core of the app. A few important methods Keepchat used to hook were removed/replaced. Those hooks already had to be rewritten and this rewrite actually is the last step of the clean-up process which I still wanted to take. I decided this was the right moment for this. I'm making it kind of 'modular' so adding functionality and maintenance will be easier in the future :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
I did A LOT of work tonight, it's almost done. Only integrating ask to save, checking the media scanner and moving several variables are left. :D I coded the whole night, 5.18 AM, oopss :silly:

[Xposed Framework Modules] AzuriaN:
Can't wait! :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Yeah, of course! I will release it as a beta first because of the huge changes, if necessary fix minor issues and than release it as stable. Just got home, plan to finish it and release the beta tonight :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Howlin1:
Snapchat 8.1.1 was released earlier. Not sure if it changes anything.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Requm123:
Would it be possible to implement that you could save your snapchat pictures in a dropbox folder?

Btw thx for taking over Keepchat :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] pitastrudl:
im using dropsync for that, you have plenty apps for that

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Xposed Framework Modules] Requm123:
Oh.. Thx man. Did not think about that. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Thanks for your feedback and you're welcome. :) Possible? Probably. But it won't be implemented since it's out of Keepchat's scope. Its goal is to be a simple and automated way to save Snapchats using Xposed. If you want it, there are other apps which could do this for you like Dropsync. However, Keepchat is open source so you can always add it yourself if you want to ;) And by the way, there's a button to thank someone :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
+1 for dropsync, I have it setup to upload to Dropbox then delete from my phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Howlin1:
I got a request. :D The ability to save chat messages.
[Xposed Framework Modules] SilverWolf12:
I'm using foldersync to move all my saved snaps to my One Drive. Foldersync can backup to almost all popular cloud storage such as Dropbox Google Drive OneDrive etc.

[Xposed Framework Modules] kripz:
Could you please add an option to merge stories and snaps together that are from the same user?

Right now there's 2 folders per user.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:

This already is implemented, uncheck "Sort files into folder" I'm Keepchat settings.

[Xposed Framework Modules] ahmedhzaki:
If its possible too. You can add an option to select the contacts to save.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
