It really depends on how I develope the system and how much are you - the users - concerned about your SC username.

If you don't want your Snapchat usernames to be sent to my server (encrypted) to check if you are a premium user, I will have to go with the Donation app method, which will require it be installed to access premium features.

If you don't care about your usernames, I can check if the user has premium or not, without the need to have an other app installed. Also it would enable me to include people who have already donated to the premium user group.
[Xposed Framework Modules] XdrummerXboy:
Donation app like the premium standalone key app? Is there anything wrong with an in app purchase? That way you don't have to deal with a play store listing, and thus absolutely NO way for Snapchat to say "hey, this right here (tangible-ish item) is infringing upon Snapchat"
[Xposed Framework Modules] asdfasdfvful:
To make IAP you must have the app in the play store. That in itself would make it difficult.

I just realized I mistakened this thread, but if you do have a donations app on the play store, where is it (I did look around a bit)? I personally wouldn't really care if you could check my snapchat user name, so I'll just wait it out and see which method you do go with.

[APP][Xposed][1.4.2]Snapprefs - The ultimate Snapchat-utility [9.3.1.0][Lolli...

I am not sure since I don't have any experience with monetizing an app, but I would assume you would need to have an app listed on Google Play, then you can add these microtransaction to it.

Correct me if I am wrong, it is just my assumption.

EDIT: Yeah, I was right.

No, it is not out yet. Still trying to figure out the best method for the users.[emoji39]
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mr.Yawnie:
I wouldn't mind that my SC username went to a validation check in your servers, as long as it was encrypted :) as long as Snapchat can't view the usernames and ban us, then I don't mind whether you knew my SC username or not [emoji14] so I vote for PayPal!
[Xposed Framework Modules] cognitivedissonance:
I know I'm reaching here, but this kinda sounds like the app development itself is at a releasable stage and he's just trying to figure out the best way to release it/monetize it. Keep the faith.

Hey guys downloaded the app from closed and whenever I go to a photo and click share with snap press nothing happens it loads snapchat, and waits for me to take a photo. What am I doing wrong?

Read post #2.
[Xposed Framework Modules] astonmartin214:
works great
[Xposed Framework Modules] da_reeseboy:
As pointed out in post 2, there are 2 methods to fix it - titanium backup or xinstaller.

Titanium backup method:

1. install newer snapchat and sign in

2. backup snapchat using titanium backup

3. uninstall snapchat

4. install snapchat 9.3.1.0 apk (download from apkmirror)

5. restore data only with titanium backup

Xinstaller method:

1. Sign in with the newer SC

2. Install Xinstaller xposed module

3. In xinstaller's settings enable apps downgrading

4. Install SC 9.3.1.0 over the newer one.

Whichever method you use, once its working do not sign out from snapchat and do not sign in with a newer version of snapchat on another device.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ayoubij:
So the app not being updated all this time just to take money from users for an update? Wow. Im sure snapchat will like this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] XdrummerXboy:
If you want multiple accounts, you can make two separate backups in different locations, then just move the backups to the proper location and use titanium to restore it.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

It wasn't suggested by the Dev, he was gonna keep it free. The idea of a paid app came from us, the users. We like his app, and we feel like it deserves some kind of compensation. If you don't like that, PLEASE find another app like this.

Pro-tip: you won't be able to.
[Xposed Framework Modules] diongdyh:
Agreed. He has the rights to collect money
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
One post cleaned for suggesting to hack paid apps features.

XDA is a development site for developers... First and foremost. So suggesting to steal from them here is not cool.

None of that talk on XDA please.

Thank you,

I wouldn't mind you having access to my username, I mean you already have it since I added snapprefs on SC
[Xposed Framework Modules] XdrummerXboy:
Maybe I'm thinking of a different post, but I don't think that user was suggesting to do it. In fact, he was trying to help the developer by letting him know that people still do that, which implies he's against such activity.

But nonetheless, thanks for cleaning up the thread as you see fit!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mr.Yawnie:
The app hasn't been updated in a long time because the dev is a STUDENT, who happened to have his FINALS weeks lately. And no, we are not talking about high school level, but University I believe. Also, Snapchat has done so many changes to the code, that [MENTION=4024698]MaaarZ[/MENTION] have to really do some research before he can come up with the update. The lack of time hasn't helped him. So in short: no, the update didn't take so long because he was trying to find out ways to monetize this app, but because he was really busy in his private life.
[Xposed Framework Modules] uodii:
If it were that easy to release an updated version of this app to support newer versions of Snapchat, somebody would have. The source is readily available.

Also, I dont see any other app that can save snaps on newer versions of Snapchat. In the past, when 1 app like this stopped getting updates another one would pop right up without issue. There's a reason you arent seeing any replacements yet. It'll get updated eventually. If you cant wait, again, the source is available. Have at it. I've dug through it a little, but I'm no Java expert and this Progaurd **** is for the birds.
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
As has been mentioned before, if you do charge for this app you will then have a responsibility to your customers to keep it updated, and keep us updated on your progress.

[Xposed Framework Modules] malcalevak:
I'm curious, where exactly does one go to research how to make an app like this/update it for the current Snapchat? Is it all from decompiling the Snapchat APK?
[Xposed Framework Modules] JazzieBoi:
When i go to type a caption on a picture the icon doesnt show up to change the color and i have them checked in the snapprefs app. I remeber i had this problem before but i dont remember what i did to fix it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mdknight:
I have to disagree. That's like saying "since I paid money for my car, I expect the dealer or the manufacturer to keep it up to date." We pay for things as is. Now, if it were a subscription model, then yes, I would agree. But a few measly dollars on a one-time payment, I believe, is fine for a single as-is purchase. If he releases it as a paid app or alongside a donation app, I'm all for it and will gladly pay a few bucks for what he's accomplished.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jwds1978:
This.

If one wants Enterprise-level support and/or service, one needs to pay for such. A subscription model and/or a lot more than a mere couple of dollars one-time for life.

Personally, I wouldn't expect anything more than a best-effort, at best, type of update expectation for an app priced at a couple of dollars one-time. For free apps, I have absolutely no support expectations.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zelendel:
Not here he won't.
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
\

How many apps do you buy on the Play Store and not expect it to be maintained? People were outraged when FalconPro customers who bought it had to re-buy it when he made a new app.

Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't support the dev, but saying it's fine to pay $2, $5, $10, whatever it is, and then have the app never updated again is a jerk move.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
That's the chance you take. Or don't, that's your choice. Usually we're talking a couple bucks... Not exactly a huge investment. ;)

And.... Can we get back on topic here? Something that hasn't even happened doesn't need to be debated here.

:good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] ayoubij:
So you buy a car and expect that if it broke the next day you wont be able to tell the retailer anything?

Thats what happens when snapchat gets updated and the module does not.

Even if you say you do buy it as is, im pretty sure that you are optimistic that the module will still update once a while. If you were sure that it wont be update, im 100% confident no one will ever pay
[Xposed Framework Modules] malcalevak:
I'm still wondering about the work involved in researching to develop this, but since people have being talking about a pay model, I would think a bigger issue related to donating would be tied to the fact that others worked on this before, built the groundwork, but they wouldn't be getting anything. Just a thought, though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] g0ldm4g3:
^this.

[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
Read the 3rd post of the thread. [emoji4]
[Xposed Framework Modules] malcalevak:
Thanks, I appreciate that, but that seems like it more clarifies how things have changed from pre 9.4. I'm more curious how the various classes were discovered in the first place, was that tied to decompiling and poking around? I'm looking at an Xposed development guide, maybe it'll clue me in. I'm mostly just feeling curious.

Another random thought, that probably is missing something entirely, but considering the many different things that SnapRefs does, I wonder if it might make more sense to break it down into modules or something, that could be updated separately, maybe even by different devs. Saving snaps would likely be the primary focus, with sending from gallery and such maybe as secondary, and so on? I dunno, like I said, random thought.
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
What you're describing is what Penguin was doing with his modules before Maarz took them over. They used to have Keepchat, Snapshare, and I believe another one for fonts and so forth. Personally I like one module that does it all, just like I hate having separate apps for Google Slides, Docs, and Sheets. I don't see why a dev couldn't update one app with only newer support for sharing images for instance, while he continues to work on saving.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kradkovich:
Hey i just installed the latest update that supports Snapchat 9.3.1.0 and it saves all the videos but for some reason it doesn't save any pictures help!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Henier17:
OK

We don't decide anything

Everything is up to MaaarZ

Money

App

Payment

Everything

Stop talking and let MaaarZ do his work

The person that want the app will do what needed to have it

In what status is the new update??
[Xposed Framework Modules] suicidal acorn:
I love how you say "let's shut up and let him work" but then in the same post you ask for a status update. If he was going to give an update, he would, and he also said that it *could* be ready this weekend
[Xposed Framework Modules] diongdyh:
At first i didn't understand irony.. Now i do?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Au5t1n:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Au5t1n:
Go to the saving settings > saving and see what is selected there, you might have to change something.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kradkovich:
thanks but it was all enabled. i found the solution, i just installed snapchat apk v9.2.1.0 and it works great again :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jjl468:
I occasionally get this while trying to share a photo and fully closing out of Snapchat (as in ending the process) has fixed it every time for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Au5t1n:
Nevermind I fixed it. I just updated snapchat through the play store then backed up the data using titanium backup then I downgraded snapchat to 9.3.1.0 and restored the data from the latest version over the older version...weird :confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] d4w:
I'm not getting any notifications from snapchat anymore since I downgraded. Anyone else having that problem? Running version 9.3.1.0 with the latest snapprefs.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Henier17:
Thanks for answering my question

But still I wasn't talking to you

And at least I'm not talking and arguing about a bunch of stuff that's not up to me

Because thanks to people like you I couldn't read when MaaarZ said that the update could be ready this week
[Xposed Framework Modules] suicidal acorn:
Is this a reply to me?

First off, a lot of this talk about paid options could actually be helpful to MaaarZ. People are giving him ideas of how to do it. He has replied to a couple of those posts and seems to be active in that topic. So if you're upset about that, you need to calm down because it is actually useful.

Second, the people asking for an update and asking dumb questions because they didn't read the OP are annoying. And guess what? You landed yourself into that group when you asked for an update. That's why I responded the way I did.

I'm not trying to start an argument, so let's not let this turn into that. I just thought it was incredibly hypocritical that you said we should stop posting useless things, but then in the same post you asked for an update (which has been deemed a useless and annoying post by basically everyone).

This thread is full of useless posts from people asking why it doesn't work on the newest snapchat version. But you can't really stop that because people will continue to come in here without reading the OP. We can go off on them, and that specific person will learn, but new users will continue to do it. Nobody in here likes it but there isn't a lot we can do.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
You mean remind respectfully... Right? ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Henier17:
If you don't want to argue don't replay in first place

And I didn't answer for an update

I was asking IN WHAT STATUS the update was

I know is developing but the real question is if MaaarZ is OK or need help

Maybe it was intentional? A hint that he DOES have a personal life as well, and better things to focus on than just coding? Or maybe, just maybe, a hint that he's finished with the new version? I don't think it was an accident, although you can never be too sure :)

Can i install this somehow without Xposed Framework ?

I have lost all my data trying to flash Custom recovery to install Xposed framework of Lollipop ..

And im just plain frustrated right now ... i just need this one app ... without Xposed.

--

For those asking flashing TWRP/CWM is easy .. yes it is .. not on the LG G2 .. its pure bull**** !! the way to boot from recovery is to select "Hard Reset" and if the Recovery is installed it will launch Recovery .. or will Reset your phone ... i reset my phone and lost everything ...

So im never gonna install any custom recovery ... and without which i cant install Xposed for Lollipop ... so is there any other alternative to install this app ?

Xposed is required. For the g2 it actually is not hard to do. Which g2 so you have? Pm me and I'll try to help you out.

well im sad now :(

got this error at login:

didnt even update sc (still on 9.3.1.0)
[Xposed Framework Modules] deepnx:
id rather not go through that pain .... ive left a bad review on CWM playstore ... they did show that i had the CWM installed ... but it didnt launch while i hit press YES for hard reset ...

so everything is at fault here ... the annoying LG G2 to have such a procedure to enter recovery mode .... and CWM to give a false notification ... ill wait for the Xposed Framework to just show up on their default version
[Xposed Framework Modules] da_reeseboy:
Pm'd you :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] HeadphonedMage:
Installing a custom recovery is quite simple and can be done through an app called "Flashify". (Google it and it's the first play store link, I would link it, but I'm a new user so I can't link in posts yet)

I myself have an LG G3 and used said app to install TWRP (I assume it would be similar for the G2). I have used CWM before on my galaxy s3, but I find TWRP to just work perfectly fine for my G3 (it was also the only option available when I first got my G3)

If my memory serves me well, before I flashed CM, you did have to go through a hard reset option on the G3 to get to recovery as well. But rest assured, this app works perfectly (and has an option to boot into recovery so that should help you)

I'm not 100% sure if the app requires root permissions (I'd assume so, but I always flashed a supersu zip to root so I don't know), but even if it does, there are many ways of rooting your device, especially since the G2 is older than the G3.

Sorry for the clutter, it's midnight here for me but wanted to try and help out :)

Snapchat isn't blocking chat messages. In version 9.7 (or somewhere around that) Snapchat added a feature where you could send Stories from Discovery as chat messages to people and since you're on 9.3.1 you can't view it.

He have to do a Re-exam? That is a Exam to.

I know he do this for his hobby and not for his job. He study for another job who dont have anything todo with scripting, coding or whatever...

Give him max a month.. and snapchat don't give big updates with new features and dont ban old version so there is no problem to hold on the 9.3 version of snappchat :)

We hope that he pass his exams and wish him luck :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] XdrummerXboy:
You won't be able to restore that far back.... WAY too much has changed. I'm surprised we're even able to go back to 9.3.1.0 to be honest.. Try clearing all the data, then uninstall, then try again with a clean install of 9.6.1.0, backup data, uninstall 9.6.1.0, install 9.3.1.0, then restore data, then reboot before opening Snapchat.

Edit: note that 9.6.1.0 is NOT the most recent...

If your restore works, you won't have to login at all. The reboot before opening snapchat COULD be the key step, that has fixed some things for me in the past with this module, don't know why. Also, force closing Titanium Backup after the restore helped me too. Doesn't make sense though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] maluch1324:
I will be able to use 4.1.13 becouse i was using it few days ago. I just accidentally updated to newest wersion and i can't go back. I even have data backup of 4.1.13 but this also doesn't help. I don't understand why some people can downgrade and some not :( I'll be doing full wipe soon so maybe then I will be able to restore 4.1.13 with some luck.

I tried to downgrade to 9.3.1.0 as You said but with no effect. (I did exactly what You said)
[Xposed Framework Modules] XdrummerXboy:
Dude... 4.1.13 won't work. Once you update, Snapchat may store the version and make it so you can't go to something prior. Just because you HAD it working means nothing. I'm telling you, just try the steps I stated, EXACTLY and it will likely work. Record yourself doing the process if you want so we can see if you did something wrong.
