Hello thanks for this awesome addition to lollipop!

Cant wait for the ability to select which individual snaps we want to save! maybe we could also set it to automatically save for certain contacts? I just don't like it saving every single snap/story/video to my phone or nothing at all.

Other than that everything is looking and working great, thanks so much, awesome work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Indeed, like [MENTION=5185802]beast1970[/MENTION] says, no screenshot notifications are sent.

Thank for your feedback! I indeed plan to add sweep to save, which is manual saving. Unfortunately my past 2 weeks have been very busy and the next couple days will still be very busy. Because my spare time was almost zero I decided to release SnapMod without manual saving and add it with a future update once I got the time. Next Friday is my last busy day, and this is the feature that'll be implemented first. Stay tuned, I expect to release a new update within a week. :)

Sent from my phone, please forgive any tpyos.
[Android Apps and Games] Fera6037:
Awesome that sounds great, of course take your time!

Quick question though, how exactly will sweep to save work, wouldn't snapchat read any touches as an input to close the snap\skip to the next snap?

thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] G U C C I:
No, I used it on the xposed module before I upgraded to Lollipop. You hold down with one finger to view the story or snap like you normally would, then to save it you move your finger around the screen, the same one you used to open the snap, you just never take your finger off the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] d1ez3:
Am I correct in my understanding that Snapchat cannot detect this app since it is a modified apk? I heard users saying their accounts were disabled from using 3rd party snapchat apps. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
This has been addressed before. This is not a completely third party app, but the original that is modified to have extra features and not recognize screenshots. Use it at your own expense but as if now nothing has happened to anyone
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin M:
This is fantastic, [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] ! Would you be interested in sharing how you went about making this modifications? Smali edits with apktool? Cool stuff. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] mv522:
My friend and I just randomly both got logged out of our snapchat.... It won't let us log back in
[Android Apps and Games] mugabuga:
Yup, same here.
[Android Apps and Games] rlaw:
Ditto.
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
one more here.
[Android Apps and Games] TrekHackz:
Snapchat still works from the Google Play version though.. tried..
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Please, no more "me too" replies unless you have to add something which isn't said already.

It's clear Snapchat is blocking something. I've verified that the official Snapchat version still works, so no one's banned.

I will look at what they're blocking and try to circumvent it. To be continued.

Yeah, sure. I write some parts in Smali and some parts in Java which I convert to smali and than implement.
[Android Apps and Games] Commies:
Excellent. Thanks for the crazy fast response.
[Android Apps and Games] tillward:
I use the xposed modules. Namely Snapshare and Snapsave. They seem to circumvent the problem ok. Might be worth looking at.
[Android Apps and Games] lukazes:
Sadly xposed framework isn't currently supported on Android 5+ for various reasons

Me 2!
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
This is getting completely out of hand. Mods are notified.

I confirmed it. I said I'd be working on it. I even EXPLICITLY asked not to respond unless you have to add something. Still a dozen of replies in 20 minutes. Seriously, ridiculous.

Once again, don't post "me too" replies.

Edit: thread is cleaned (thanks mod), now let's keep this clean :good:
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
No prob
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
1.1.1 released

Changelog:

SnapMod is working again after being blocked.

But.. what happened?

They detected about the only thing they are able to detect: version name (the name you see in the App Info, like this). I changed this to 8.1.2_SnapMod-v1.1.0 to indicate SnapMod's version, which I now reverted to just 8.1.2 and everything's working fine. I did several tests and was able to confirm they block everything with SnapMod in the version name (like you see in the app info), everything else works fine. And since they can't block the original version name... :p

But there's not much they can do about Snapmod, it's actually unlikely they find a way to block it. It's the original APK with some modifications. There's nothing left they could detect server-side at the moment, because nothing which is modded gets sent to the server. The only thing that happened today is that you were signed out, not even a warning.

So simple...? Why out of a sudden?

I guess I know why it suddenly wasn't working anymore. Reddit and a Dutch news site picked it up. The initial release got about 1000 downloads in a week, v1.1.0 almost 4000 in 48 hours. Snapchat probably picked it up too.

If you're enjoying this app, donations are highly appreciated. :)

Please report what you think about this module and what improvements you would like to see.

Everyone thanks for the feedback you gave!
[Android Apps and Games] jacobtc:
Yep, works perfectly again! Great job! :)
[Android Apps and Games] tarroyo:
Thanks for the speedy update! [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] fiz:ik:
Just an idea... I think it's against the spirit of open-source but wouldn't it be better to close your sources and don't tell us what you're modding so snapchat has to discover by its own what you're changing to avoid blocks? I think someone from snapchat is watching xda. Against your xposed module.. I doubt they can do something about it so they'll focus on this app. Just an idea mate, nevertheless, great work as always :good: :good: :)
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I'm not gonna jinx it but if they wanted to they could easily make the apk uneditable. A few apps have already done it. It breaks the apk if it is decompiled or unzipped in anyway. So I doubt they are too worried about it. What they will focus on is making it so snaps can't be saved as that really does defeat the purpose of what they are trying to do.
[Android Apps and Games] ziTney:
This is awesome! Was missing this on Lollipop!!

Thank you so much mate [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] !!

ps. Just a little correction, in the second post where the changelog is, it says version 1.1.2 where it should be 1.1.1 :o :D
[Android Apps and Games] mavambu:
You're awesome!!
[Android Apps and Games] williamder32:
Awesome Work brooo! i waiting for this :D
[Android Apps and Games] MaaarZ:
This project wasn't even open sourced since there isn't anything which would make sensr to public. If you are talking about Keepchat and Snapshare they are irrelevant since they are hooking on the fly to the stock Snapchat app, which will never be detected.
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Thanks for the confirmation :)

You're welcome, turned out to be an easy fix :good:

They are able to reverse engineer my modded APK too, just like I did with theirs. There's nothing to keep secret as the APK is all they need to know what I'm doing. Like [MENTION=4024698]MaaarZ[/MENTION] says, it's not even open sourced because there's nothing to open source. Everything I modded smali code is in the Snapchat app, the image/video processing code is from Snapshare and the preferences screen isn't interesting to share.

Sssst, don't feed them with ideas. :angel:

Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks, fixed ;)
[Android Apps and Games] 7sen:
Nice bro keep it up ?
[Android Apps and Games] stealth01:
Thank you! I've been looking for a phantom snapchat for android and I finally found it. Only thing I think its missing is the ability to view a snap without the sender knowing you viewed it
[Android Apps and Games] saifmobhani:
They locked my account and when I unlocked it from the website, I'm not able to login from your Snapchat app!
[Android Apps and Games] xymonx:
Hello,

I really appreciate this app :3 It helped me in transferring from kitkat to lollipop. Could You please consider adding snapall (send to everyone) feature?
[Android Apps and Games] Dante897:
Similar problem here, I opened the (themed) modded Snapchat and I was logged out and couldn't log back in. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it and it works again. If it's of any help, besides Snapchat and SnapMod, I had SnapCatch as well in my app drawer for some reason, now it's not there, is that intended?
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Good to hear you joined the world of Android and left crApple behind :p This is something I might look into in the future after I finished stuff with a higher priority. ;)

Probably not related to this, there are no other reports about this and everything's working perfect for me.

Glad you appreciate it :) Not sure yet, depends how much work it is in Smali code. Low priority at the moment.

Probably because you had v1.1.0 installed wasn't working anymore since yesterday, that's why v1.1.1 was released the same evening. About SnapCatch, that's not touched by SnapMod.
[Android Apps and Games] azsrockz:
Great effort! Highly appreciate it! Thank you for your time!

Previously, I was using your module in Xposed for Kitkat, but now I moved over to Lollipop because you separated this app from Xposed.

I hope if you can do this, everyone who created an Xposed module, may be able to do their work in this kind of way!

Thanks again! :)
[Android Apps and Games] RIVANH:
Yeah is working great.

Is anyway to have the pictures and videos hide from gallery and just visible thru the app Like the new savemysnaps app

Thanks in advance I think that will complete this Snapchat version.
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
Plenty gallery apps have the ability to hide folders. Quickpic is my favorite.
[Android Apps and Games] JaganBSlamma:
Another method would be to create an unnamed file with the extension nomedia, ".nomedia" inside the folder. It will hide it from all gallery apps, including any that don't support hiding. You would have to view the pictures through a file manager though.
[Android Apps and Games] ykumar00:
deleted
[Android Apps and Games] JaganBSlamma:
Still working fine for me, are you sure you updated to 1.1.1?
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
True, but with quickpic a quick password input and they show up. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lars85destroyer:
I've been unable to use snap yesterday evening, I've updated this morning and now everything works great, nice work again :good:
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
Not sure if it's been posted already but you can share pics in your gallery by sharing to Snapmod. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] snapscape:
Share from Google Photos

Anyone else having issues sharing to SnapMod from Google Photos?

new update for regular

[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] is there gonna be an update based on version 9.0 that was just released today? And good job with quickly resolving the issue yesterday:good:

[Android Apps and Games] paylied:
The app is amazing! Good job!

But sadly i just got a message from snapchat saying i'm using a third party client and that my account will be permanently locked if i don't stop using it.
[Android Apps and Games] TurkiFawaz:
Same here just got an email.
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Yeah, this is stated in the op, thanks for sharing though :)

If Google Photos uses the regular way for sharing pictures, it should work. If it doesn't work, they maybe have a weird implementation. However, in both cases there's nothing I could do without a logcat.

I haven't got the update yet, but sure it will be upgraded to 9.0 in a couple of days. Thanks for the compliment :)

For both of you: Seriously? I haven't got anything. We have to see where this goes. If it's just you two it's probably related to anything else. If I get reports from a bunch of people it'll be a whole different story...
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
Well then, nothing to see here move on please lol.
[Android Apps and Games] paylied:
Well i hope it is only the two of us, because this app is awesome! The only weird thing is that we both got the email around the same time
[Android Apps and Games] stealth01:
Op if you put all the features phantom has in this you'll be a legend ?
[Android Apps and Games] FatalIll:
Well you guys should start figuring out correlation. What did you both use, which features did you use, where did you send snaps, where are you guys located, filters, etc. If you guys both use something outside of this app, or you both live in the same area using the same filter, sending things to Team Snapchat ... Could have got you both flagged. No one else has been notified. I'd get in touch and compare your apps and how you're utilizing these apps.
[Android Apps and Games] paylied:
I have send snaps, viewed snaps, viewed stories viewed chat.

I have used the first filter like 3 times.

I live in Denmark.

I only have snapmod installed.

Used the newest version.

And i most certainly haven't send anything to Team Snapchat.. :P

That is it from me, i don't see anything that is wrong with that, so maybe if the other guy has something in common, something might be found
[Android Apps and Games] ktetreault14:
I have 9.0 ?
[Android Apps and Games] sfld:
snapchat is cracking down it seems
[Android Apps and Games] Drsela:
I'm from Denmark as well. I have the themed version installed and I've been using all filters at least 5x times. I've recieved/send over 50 snaps and haven't recieved an email from Snapchat :)

My SnapMod settings are set to 'save all pictures and videos recieved' and I've disabled the 'Save Stories' thingy.
[Android Apps and Games] paylied:
Interesting! I haven't used any other third party snapchat apps since i upgraded to 5.0 in mid december. Just seems weird that they would take 1,5 months to send out a warning.

But hey App Dev, if you need any information just ask, i am very happy to help, as this app is amazing! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Learn2swim31:
I also just received a warning from snapchat about using 3rd party apps, where they threatened to lock/bann my account and asked me to change my password. However it seemed it was a warning for both since my account was not locked and i was able to send and receive snaps and view stories as well and log out and back in without changing my password.

I have been using Your current version(s) of Snapmod/snapchat exclusively since you released them. Prior to using your apps i used Savemysnaps for months, never received a warning even tho lots of people did (guess i got lucky)

The setting i use in your app are :

save automatically : Stories & snaps

minimum timer duration: 10 seconds

sort images by category

image adjustment method: crop

unlimited captions : regular / fat

Inside of snapchat, i send /receive snaps. Send / view stories. Use the chat message feature. And i never use any filters. I live in the United States. And never send anything to Team Snapchat.

Also i noticed in the email after clicking on the link to contact them if i thought it was an error i read the following :

If you believe you received the notification in error, it may be because you are using an old version of Snapchat. Please make sure you have the most recent version of the app downloaded.

If you have stopped using third-party applications, changed your password already, and updated to the most recent version of Snapchat, there is no need to contact us. However, if you are still having trouble with your account, please let us know below.

So that leads me to beleive perhaps they are warning people who are using older versions of snapchat as well ? Only setting i am using that i think could cause detection is the Minumum timer Duration. Or some of the code changes you added/made.

Edit: I also asked a few people on snapchat who use the Official Snapchat if they got a text message from team snapchat telling them to update, And the people i asked said they did. I asked them if it said anything about 3rd party apps, some said they didnt remember and some said it didnt mention 3rdparty apps.

Pulled 9.0.1.0 for you.
[Android Apps and Games] NMEAGENT:
What might be happening is that since your app has the version number 8.1.2 , Snapchat is thinking you are either using a 3rd party app or just havent upgraded. Maybe if you change the version number to 9.0 Snapchat wont detect it again.
[Android Apps and Games] Geekking:
Got email from Snapchat about 3rd party use. I still dont know how they detect this but they might be signing the data :/
[Android Apps and Games] echoes333:
Great

Awesome app. Made me jump on the snapchat bandwagon and make an account. Works well so far. Thanks :good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Ariac Konrel:
I've gotten no email or warning from Snapchat what-so-ever. I'm using the black theme 1.1.1 Snapchat + SnapMod version. Odd how you guys are.

Anyways, I made backups of the SnapMod (and modded Snapchat) apps and updated to the latest version of Snapchat (after uninstalling the modded Snapchat) (LG G3|Verizon|Android 5.0[Illusion]) which is 9.0.1.0 for me.

Here's the link to the latest version: http://www75.zippyshare.com/v/2CumVh84/file.html (I know MaaarZ uploaded this already, but I wasn't sure if it made a difference, so just in case. :)

On Snapchat's Google Play page (web view|PC) it does say "Version varies with device", so here just in case.

On a side note, this new version truly sucks. I saw a lot of people complaining about it, and I completely see why. I'm sure it'll be better with mods, though. :)

I downgraded back to the old modded Snapchat (never uninstalled SnapMod, just disabled/freezed it) and I still got no warnings or anything (Sent a snap to someone, received and also viewed two stories).
[Android Apps and Games] hasterd:
integrate captions with video

[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION]

First of all thanks for the app and the effort.

If I can recall correctly, you mentioned with the KeepChat project that you want to add the option to integrate captions in videos, thus having one file instead of two files, which can be annoying in the gallery. Do you also plan to add this in SnapMod? Please do, so that we don't have two files separate, but belong to each other. I'm aware that it'll cost some time to let the phone merge the two files before watching the actual video on SnapChat(maybe let process run in the background?), but adding it as a option would be nice.

Further then that, the app works flawless.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Pyronn:
Thanks for the hard work!

I was feeling there was no hope left to ninja save snapchats until I found this thread lol!

My gf went to Vegas and will be sending a few snapchats. I look forward to reporting if I get a warning email. It'll suck if nothing happens. Donation coming ?
[Android Apps and Games] LucasVL7:
Safety

Nice app! Looks and works great but I have a question.

Is it safe?

You remember when thousands of snapchat pictures leaked because somebody hacked the SnapSave server? I don't want to have my snaps on the whole internet so please ensure me it's safe.

Keep up the great work
[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:
lmao, it all depends on who you are sending your snaps too.

[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] issue spotted, can't See Best Friends
[Android Apps and Games] Frostbiter:
That was removed by the Snapchat team, not a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
For everyone:

There were a couple reports about people receiving notifications they're using a 3rd party app. I've watched the development of this the past 24 hours, only about 3 people had such a notifications. This confirms my suspicions about this not being related to SnapMod. I don't know what did cause it, but 3 out of a couple thousand is pretty clear to me.

Snapchat 9.0 was released yesterday, SnapMod will be upgraded to this new base ASAP. Probably in a day or two/three.

Thanks buddy!

That shouldn't be the case. That will probably only happen on very old versions. 9.0 is just released so they're definitely not sending notifications out to 8.1.2 users.

You don't recall correctly unfortunately haha. This is a complicated and processor-intensive task. The whole file needs to be recoded. There's a reason why Snapchat treats them separately, which is the only right solution IMO.

You're welcome, glad you enjoy it. Thanks buddy! :)

Basically what [MENTION=2306182]BOO5TED[/MENTION] says is true, depends who you're sending them too. Snaps you save with SnapMod are only stored locally. You could decompile it and check my changes if you want... So if they leak it's caused by the receiving end :p

That's not an issue. When Snapchat released 9.0 they removed this feature server-side. This happens in the original version too.
[Android Apps and Games] LucasVL7:
Okay man, I trust you. Thank you for your good work!

[Android Apps and Games] BOO5TED:

[Android Apps and Games] KuaQ:
Its possible to add option to showing who blocked me on snap? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Nothing sent is ever completely safe. If you are worried about it that much my advise would be to not upload anything anywhere. Internet Safety is an illusion.
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
Any plans on implementing the ability to save your own snaps back in?
[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
Nope, there's no way to retrieve that information, hence we can't show it.

I'd like to redirect you to the OP for the answer :)
[Android Apps and Games] tgrrb5:
Use caution because people are replying saying that it's reporting to them that screen shots are being taken when viewing their stories but not when they send you a snap directly.
[Android Apps and Games] GodHead:
Actually I was the one that mentioned writing a separate application to accomplish this, but unfortunately real life got in the way and I haven't been able to pit it together. Maybe in the next month I'll have some time for this, unless pinguin already has plans to build it in.
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
Yeah I saw that after I posted. Since the XDA (alpha) app doesn't have the edit option in yet, I couldn't edit it and I didn't want to spam the thread with another post. Sorry!

[Android Apps and Games] hasterd:
That would be nice, if you can pull it together soon. [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] has no plans to build it in, still do have a question though. Is there any kind of app who can play the video like SnapChat does. Thus having the two files, but playing it as original. The app SaveMySnaps did it in the app self, so there should be a way to accomplish it. The stock video players and VLC don't support it.

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] P1nGu1n_:
I just released an update for Keepchat, Snapshare is still compatible so I will work on SnapMod tonight. Unlikely to be released tonight, I hope tomorrow.

And by the way, it will be based on 9.0.2.0 :good:
