[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I hate to say no to feature request, but sometimes I have to. The main question you have to ask is how is XInsta going to get the next posts information (URL, title, username, comments, etc)? This information has to come from somewhere.That would be the Instagram API, which XInsta doesn't have access to. I am not comfortable with having users API information for privacy and ToS reasons. Having access to an access token that post comments, follow users, and more is not something I want XInsta to ever have.

Besides that, unofficial API access to Instagram can get a user banned. Maybe in the future Instagram will at least add the force touch option to this page.

No probs. Keep it going as it is within limits, its impressive. Appreciate your response and hard work :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] optimus0208:
Thank you for your work. appreciate it.

I was just wondering is it illegal to develop such modules? or use them? There already has been issues with whatsapp+ so I asked.

thank you
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaaarZ:
It is not illegal to develop nor use them, whatsapp+ is a recompiled version of the original app, built on copyrighted material.

Xinsta not working

I updated my instagram today (to version 9.3.0) and tried updating the hooks and force closing instagram. However, neither download nor any other option is showing up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hakan5816:
I'm using 9.3.5. No problem.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
In theory I am breaking no laws by making this module. The modules doesn't use any of Instagram's trademarks or source code. You can argue that by allowing downloads I hurt Instagram's reputation and hurt their brand, but overall people don't really view Instagram as a private photo sharing app like Snapchat for example. WhatsApp+ and Instagram+ both use(d) smali hacking to my knowledge.

It means they are decompiling the original Instagram APK, adding their additions, and recompiling it. With this you are using all Instagram's trademarked images and source code. This is why past applications that have repacked an original APK have gotten letters from Snapchat for example and halted development. All Instagram would have to do is ask me to stop developing the module and I would. However, they have had almost two years now and nothing.

Instagram even un-banned my testing Instagram account when I asked. I doubt Instagram has any harsh feeling towards me.

Instagram updated today (beta) feature instagram hide my stories but I came update feature that does not work. My friend is using the xins trying instagram updated. Why I do not work
[Xposed Framework Modules] vaykossil:
Hi,why can't I see that download button ? tried many versions from 9.2 up to 9.3.5 ,but the dl button never shows up,what can be the problem ?

And also after activating the module it takes so long to load the app itself,is it normal ?

thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] nostang3:
Try doing a hard reboot and not a soft reboot. Sometimes the module doesn't load properly during a soft reboot. I've ran into that issue myself before.

If it still doesn't work:

Go to Xinsta > Three Dot Menu > Send Error Logs.

[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Instagram is rolling out a new version of directshare/direct messages it appears. Like every new feature the switch is server-side. This means the module is supporting the older version for now. I could be confused and not know the real reason some people are needing different hooks than others. I have seen two reported cases of this "new direct messages" that require different hooks. Maybe this new directshare version integrated the new zoom option.

If you have issues with the directshare download button not appears I will gladly give you the new hooks. I am just not ready to switch the hooks in the hook file until I know whether or not this is going to be push out to everyone.

Is there any way to sponsored ads with xinsta?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
The issue with sponsored ads is I am not targeted for them. I have only seen one sponsored ad before from Apple (Maybe a year ago). In order to test a feature like this I need to have sponsored ads, which I am unable to get. I have tried new accounts on new IPs and nothing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] nick1467:
I can see them everytime when I open Instagram atleast 2 times
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Where do you see sponsored post? Is it mostly in the main feed (First tab) or is it more in the explore tab (Search icon)?

Thanks for your reply . I can see ads on the main tab and I never saw any ads in explore tab , I can provide a screenshot if u want :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] christianpeso:
I see sponsored ads in my main feed as well. Probably about every other 15 posts or so. I also run Adaway and minminguard as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fluid_head:
I'm having the same issue with not having the download options in my DM also. Everything else works like a charm though. I found the Xposed logs, and it's quite long,...never looked at them before. You want me to send all of it in order to get replacement hooks for the DM downloads?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I looked into sponsored post and I now understand better how Instagram displays them. Sponsored post like I have said before load the same as regular post. The difference is that after the view is set Instagram adds the sponsored tag (Called Chevron in Instagram code) and a body.

This is the reason you can download sponsored post. I am able to hook into the body (Below content, usually has a link to the ad). The issue is that from this I am not able to the get the overall view. For now I will be working on finishing touches for the next update (Release in a few days).

I understand sponsored post are annoying for some people. Even if I was able to find a working hook Instagram would likely do their best to break it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fluid_head:
I guess after updating hooks and a couple of reboots, the download option is back in the DM. Thank you. ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:

I will be releasing an update in the next few hours to fix this issue. I was hoping to release it last night, but I found a bug with one of the new features.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
XInsta 1.8 is now out! First we have the addition of German translations. Next up we have the ability to check for updates with XInsta. If you open XInsta -> Three Dot Line you will notice the new Check For Update and Automatic Update Checker option. The Check For Update option is of course a manual way to check for updates. The automatic checking option will check for XInsta updates every time you open XInsta or Instagram.

If an update is available you will get an notification informing you of an update. If you open XInsta and an update is available you will see an additional option added to the listview informing you of an update (You can click to get update). I know users want XInsta in the Play Store, but Instagram will just request it be removed. In terms of just putting it in the thread I then have to worry about people that don't check XDA often. In it's currently implementation GitHub is the only source used to host the APK (Over HTTPS). I will look into other source options if issues do occur with some users not having access to GitHub.

We have a big change in the injection method XInsta uses as well. XInsta has always had two hooks for each download option (Ten total - Feed, DM, Stories, Mini Feed, and Profile). I found a better way to use hooks that already exist in XInsta (For last 154 versions of Instagram). This makes XInsta only require one hook for each download option, so we have a total of five hooks vs ten. For versions that do not have this hook XInsta will fall back to the original two hooks method (Instagram 7.4.0 and below).

Last we have the directshare/direct messages issue. Instagram is rolling out a new version of directshare/direct messages. Some users have access to it, while others do not. XInsta will now hook both versions of directshare/direct messages. If you have any issues please report them. As always, enjoy the module!

[MENTION=5712278]iHelp101[/MENTION] any plans to update Xinsta to upload an existing video/image to your story? Much like snapprefs does for snapchat. Also u have a paypal or any where i can donate to you?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
This is a feature I would like to add. This update was to make things more stable, so I was not focused much on new features. I know Instagram allows you to upload images/videos to stories that are less than 24 hours old. Maybe I can find an easy hook that makes this time frame unlimited instead of having to deal with media and swapping it around to trick Instagram. In terms of donations I don't accept them.

To make it short, when people donate they feel like you owe them something (Not saying you in particular would). For some people this means the module needs to always work because they gave you X amount. I see this constantly on XDA for modules that accept donations and I don't want to deal with it. I even get angry emails all the time and I don't accept donations. My favorite are emails that only say "Fix this now!". I overall don't want the stress that comes with taking donations.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Can you PM me the username of the individual you are trying to download a profile icon from? I know Instagram is starting to migrate uploads (Images/Videos) to Facebook servers, which might be causing this issue. Thank you.

I found a way to implement a possible option like this (Gfycat linked below). This is telling Instagram that every image/video file it finds is from today. Is this implementation okay? Or do you want a file picker?

[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
A few people are experiencing a bug with profile icon downloads. To make it easy to understand I have example links below. All three links go to the same images. Recently Instagram started using these CDN's more often in the Instagram app. XInsta was originally set to look for "scontent" and ".jpg" to find the link to a profile icon. When Instagram gives you an Akamai link or Facebook CDN link this causes issues. XInsta basically skips over the link and has no link to download.

I will be fixing this in the next update (Tonight). I am just wanting for feedback on the stories images/video selection request.

You may need to manually update your hooks first (Open XInsta -> Click Pastebin, Github, or Alternate Source and reboot). I have a Gfycat below showing how to use the feature. When in the stories camera activity you swipe down and you should have access to all images/video on the device (Normally Instagram sets a 24 hour creation limit).

Not working for me after doing that. I have the latest Instagram version, using Marshmallow in a Moto g 2014 (Titan).
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I have gone over this a few times, so I will try to make this short. Sponsored post are treated as regular post in Instagram's code. The only difference is after a post is loaded Instagram checks if it needs to add a few things in (The sponsored post title, the ad redirect upon clicking, and a body paragraph). When it comes to the feed (Main tab in Instagram) you have a long list basically.

The reason XInsta can download images/video is because XInsta can link the option you click to the feed class that has the URL's for images/videos (com.instagram.android.feed.a.b.ao -> com.instagram.feed.b.s). For sponsored post XInsta needs to link the post title or body paragraph to the whole post. Remember, we have a list of post. This means we have to find the exact post in our list and hide it.

I have tried to find that missing link and I have had no luck. It is something that you can work on for hours and have no success. Instagram has 7000+ files, which makes finding things difficult. It is a feature I want to have, but finding the perfect working hook is difficult.
