That fixed any snapchat issues, thanks!

BUT, now when I enable snapprefs module and try to open snapchat I get force close. "Unfortunately, Snapchat has stopped."

You guys worked around this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mdknight:
Looks like an issue with leftover Dalvik code or processes. Something to that effect anyway. The info on this past will guide you on how to clear that up with a pretty easy script. It's a temporary fix, but these instructions include automating the script at boot.

Also, if you're not familiar with SManager, you can use Tasker to run the script at boot, too. The important part is the script.

i bet next snapchat update will block all the older version from running the app even the data back thing if you signed out....cuz snapchat devs instead of trying to improve the app they are just try to block this module :/
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ditto_B:
They don't need a new version for that, they can just end all current sessions on their backend.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zelendel:
By doing this they are improving the app. The whole point of the app is that the images and videos are not saveable. So by working to prevent things like this they are making it more secure. It's not just them though. Even Google is working on making things more secure which means things like xposed are short lived.
[Xposed Framework Modules] yahyoh:
yeah i guess so
[Xposed Framework Modules] Enter The Nexus:
You could always screenshot, so the image and video logic is a fallacy (no offense at all). Even if they are alerted that you saved something from them, neither party really cares in the first place. I use the app to save photos people take of me or videos of me doing funny/momentous stuff. Or I use the extended text to get my point across, or perhaps the color to stress the severity of something. Our days of fun on Snapchat are absolutely gone!
[Xposed Framework Modules] zelendel:
I s not that people don't care. I have personally removed people that have done so. If I wanted the image to be saved then I would have sent it by mms which is far more convenient. But you are right. The days of using snap chat like this are coming to an end.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Enter The Nexus:
I totally understand your point though. Snap is supposed to be an intimate experience, but if the devs solely wanted that, they would not have introduced stories. Hopefully the TB workaround can stay for long, I cry nightly without my mods ????
[Xposed Framework Modules] zelendel:
I totally forgot about that as no one I know even uses it. Heck most people I know completely ditched the app all together after it was found to able to be saved with a SS. Now the only people I know that is it are high-school and younger kids.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Enter The Nexus:
(I fit in the highschool category).

9.3.1.0 is working for me fine

The old snapchat that snapprefs is able to work under works perfectly fine for me still, every feature of snapprefs I've been able to work, saving, posting, color texts and all.

I guess because I never updated the new snapchat yet. it's been working for me for months.

I also signed in and out of it multiple times and never had a problem either. I'll never update until maarsz comes up with a new version of snapprefs to work with the new update :)

Usually it gives "the app is not installed" error, when you try to downgrade, that is where XInstaller comes in, which let's you install older apps. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] forid200:
I don't think they actually want to completely block saving images / videos. They could have added flag.secure which would prevent android from allowing screen shots, but even then we can bypass it with xposed. Anyone here who knows about android developing knows that there's a few other tricks Snapchat could do block saving, but that's not their goal realistically. Sometimes it's fun to save a picture of your friend doing something funny, and they've realised that. Right now if you want to send a picture that can't be screenshot use BBM with a timer.

All this aside, without modules like Snaprefs. On android and IOS, Snapchat would die. You still can't even post pictures from your gallery to story without the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
You're right. And just for heads up, to all 5.1 users, you can use a 3rd party app called "Casper" who's the same as the creator of "SaveMySnaps". It works good and can be used as a substitute until our awesome dev updates it for us.

I'm not gonna link it here (just google it) and I don't mean to push any users away from this awesome module. Just wanna help out the 5.1 users. That's all.

PS: I shall remove the post at once if requested to.

Hey. I was hoping you guys might be able to help me out. I am running snapprefs in combination with snapchat 9.3.1.0 and At first appearance it works fine, but after a few minutes the saved snaps disappear completely... I am running ViperOne (M8) 4.3.0 on my device. That means I'm running android 5.0.1. I'm not running any apps that might interfere with snapprefs or snapchat for as far as I know. Thanks in advance!
[Xposed Framework Modules] opticus44:
Workaround for Snapprefs on 5.1

There is a way you can get Snapprefs working on 5.1, using it myself atm :)

You must have SC 9.3.1.0 ofc, and the unofficial Xposed by [MENTION=2476451]romracer[/MENTION].

Install Snapprefs the usual way, enable it in modules and reboot phone.

Be sure SC is closed, before you do this.

Open up any file explorer with root access (i use root explorer) and navigate to "/data/dalvik-cache/arm/" and search for "snapchat".

Delete any .dex file with snapchat in its filename.

Start snapchat, win! No more FC!

Only downside is this is a temporary solution, if you reboot your phone you need to navigate back to the arm folder and delete the .dex file again.

All credits to [MENTION=5341763]Programming4life[/MENTION] here at XDA for finding this workaround! :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] hello00:
it will tell you to update though and btw you dont have to do all that..you could simply delete them by going to system/app/all dalvik cache
[Xposed Framework Modules] yahyoh:
yeah use it and enjoy the ban from SC :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] opticus44:
No it wont.., I dont get any update promts, if you're thinking about SC. Well, I got a titanium backup of my CS 9.3.1.0, logged in state, no problems.

Refering to this "all that", if you think about it, its basicly just one step. Delete the cache of SC before you open it.

I wrote it that way so users not that experienced could benefit from it aswell.

Whatever man, didnt see anyone else put something like this here, so I did.

[Xposed Framework Modules] HelloDominick:
Really don't know why it works for a few days then it doesn't. I was on 9.6 did the xinstaller procedures which worked for 3 days now it doesn't work again. I guess it stops working with every new update snap puts out?
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Just wanna let everyone know I was getting the error message after it was working, so I updated and restored data and installed the old snapchat and it worked. Same process, with the latest versions data..
[Xposed Framework Modules] jjl468:
I'd assume so. The methods to fix the forced update basically trick Snapchat to thinking you have 9.6 installed, but Snapchat will also prompt you to update from 9.6 to 9.7 so any new version of Snapchat should require you to redo the downgrading process

Hi,

It would have been awesome if you could pick your own colors or if there was any presets for the rainbow coloring.

Because most of the colors get very dark and they are hard to read whatever you take picture of :/

Otherwise, great app (y)
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
Thanks for the feedback, yeah I have been thinking about it, once I come up with a reliable solution I will update the app. For now your only option is to press rainbow colors again and it will generate new colors for each letter.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cognitivedissonance:
Hey MaaarZ,

Just wondered if there's a way you could implement a system that would allow us to pick and choose which snaps we want to save on a case by case basis. Keepchat previously had toast messages, but on the most recent release they replaced that with a swipe-based method where you swipe back and forth on the photo/video in question.

It's really not a big deal - right now I just have both yours and Keepchat installed, along with Snapshare (lots of modules for Snapchat!), I just thought maybe it could be something to add to the roadmap.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
Just press the screenshot button combination. On AOSP its power button + volume down, on Samsung Home + power + volume down. It will not be reported you can save anything.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cognitivedissonance:
Interesting... does that save video too??

EDIT: lol you don't have to answer that, I'll just try it out.

SnapPrefs doesn't work at all... Must be user error... Please help!

Hello.

I've been using SnapCatch for the longest time, and I love how it works. It saves every single snap and story with one click. Very occasionally, SnapCatch crashes when I try to use it, so I wipe SnapChat data with Titanium Backup. I then open SnapChat and sign in again, and SnapCatch would work again. However, yesterday when it crashed and I tried signing in to SnapChat again, the app reported an error, telling me I needed to update. (SnapCatch only worked with 8.1.2, and now I cannot use that version anymore.)

So here I am, with Snapchat 9, and I'm unable to save anything at all using SnapPrefs. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. (Or really how the app is supposed to function.)

I'm using LiquidSmooth LS-KK-MileStone-3.2 (Kernel 3.4.5-LiquidKernel-v2.0) Android 4.4.4 on AT&T HTC One M8. I've got Xposed 2.7 experimental 1, and SnapPrefs 1.4.2. I believe Xposed is functioning... I have the BootManager module (3.1.1) installed and I'm pretty sure it's working.

In SnapPrefs, I set the directory in which I want media saved, and the settings are "save automatically." When I navigate to the folder, I see nothing at all.

What am I doing wrong? How can I save all snaps and stories easily without people being notified?

Thanks very much.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
Double check if it is enabled in the modules list and if Snapchat is on 9.3.1.0

If it still doesn't work, enable debugging mode, soft reboot and attach the log here. (Can be found in the Xposed Installer app -> Log)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jvinculum:
OK, so I was on Snapchat 9.7.5 or something... I opted in to the Beta. I now opted out, and tried reinstalling 9.3.1.0... it won't let me log in... Tells me that version is no longer supported. I see from the compatibility chart that 9.3.1.0 is the newest supported version... I guess this means SnapPrefs is totally non-functional until it is updated?

Thanks for the quick response!
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:

[Xposed Framework Modules] jvinculum:
OK, thanks again. I did read that, but was a bit wary of trying it. I shall try that, now that I have your recommendation.

Thank you so much! That worked like a charm. I'm able to use SnapCatch again, with SnapChat v8.1.2!! (I hate version 9... what bugs me the most is half the status bar is transparent... small thing, but annoying. 8.1.2 is the best, in my opinion.)

I haven't tried SnapPrefs again... Not sure I'm going to actually, no offense at all... it just seems a little difficult and I still don't know how to save media with it. SnapCatch does exactly what I want and nothing extra... Unless you can make an argument for SnapPrefs over SnapCatch?

[Xposed Framework Modules] Hawaiisa:
Yes, this is possible. Yes, it has been done before. Snapchat put their lawyers on the case and P1nGu1n_ had to stop the development. Here's the link to the Snapmod thread with the developer's announcement. Maaarz knows about this case, and I'm pretty sure he's learned from P1nGu1n_ and won't try that again.

This was a case of copyright infringement, and won't affect Snapprefs in its current state (From what I've read).
[Xposed Framework Modules] geoff5093:
You would need to use a third party Snapchat app that has those features built-in, but Snapchat has a way to detect this in most cases and will lock your account. There is a third party application out there that doesn't require root or Xposed, but I won't go into detail as I really dislike apps like that from a security perspective.

Just flash an AOSP ROM on your Samsung device and then install Xposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] suicidal acorn:
I 100% agree with this. Just flash an aosp rom. Those app are sketchy because you never know who you password could be being sent to. Plus snapchat will eventually detect it and lock your account
[Xposed Framework Modules] da_reeseboy:
That would be a great option if one was available, but I believe the only roms available for the S6 are stock based right now. And the S6 is also running a 64 bit processor as well, so even if there was an aosp/cm based rom getting xposed running might be sketchy.

Sorry to hear they are in this situation...
[Xposed Framework Modules] suicidal acorn:
Oh yeah that's true. Xposed doesn't support ARM v8.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
As I said there will be a Custom Patch, which will block the screenshot detection.

Secondly, there won't be any mod which will work without root. I will not release any modified apks or so.

FYI, I would like to confirm that this method indeed works on CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1).

These are the steps I got Snapprefs to work:

1) Install latest version of snapchat, login and make a backup on TitaniumBackup

2) Uninstall snapchat, install Snapchat 9.3.1, and restore only data from backup

3) Verify that snapchat works (just open the app and make sure you're logged in)

4) Install/Activate snapprefs and reboot.

5) Try opening Snapchat, it will force close (this is why we need this workaround)

6) Delete the snapchat .dex file in /data/dalvik-cache/arm/

7) Open snapchat, and snapprefs will work! :D

And yes, this workaround requires you to delete the .dex file again every time you reboot your phone.
