Other modules work only with Hooks, therefore as eXposed works only with Hooks, these modules work. In contrast KMod uses all the potential of Xposed, uses Resources, and Hooks, but above all resources, that's why the parts of KMod that use Resources will not work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Shubhambora:
We understand. Thank you very much!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Bad news for KMod FWA and its development.

Important changes are coming in the new versions of WhatsApp, and therefore, all the methods used now to detect the hooks are going to be useless, and I will have to start applying the method of uploading certain hooks online for certain versions of WhatsApp.

This means that the versions of WhatsApp with the registered and updated Hooks will work correctly, but the versions that don't have the updated hooks will fail. Therefore, we will no longer have the freedom to update the WhatsApp betas daily, because of the risk that the Hooks change (and I can't be attentive 24 hours a day to do this work).

So I suppose I'll try to add the stable versions, the really important Beta versions or new ones, and the beta versions published on weekends, since there are several days in between without updates.

If in the future I find an automatic method as there is currently, I would apply it, but at the moment I do not see how to do it.

As I said a few days ago, I will launch a patch to avoid the expiration of the module in the next few days, but the problems that I just talked about will not be solved in a short time. However, I will try to obtain a time (which I do not have) to investigate where to direct the development.

Update - KMod FWA v2.7.5

Version 2.7.5 (24-03-2019 - From WhatsApp 2.18.361 or higher):

[IMG="F"]http://i.imgur.com/TLaiDez.png[/IMG] Extended KMod FWA expiration date.

[IMG="D"]http://i.imgur.com/lYwNNSB.png[/IMG] Disabled all features that use Hooks until solving the problem of compatibility with new versions.
​

KMod FWA only work on Android devices with an integrated theming. This means that you can change the appearance of your Android through some application integrated in the ROM itself.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
It has been reported in the change list..

Disabled all features that use Hooks until solving the problem of compatibility with new versions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] eliezerjk90:
Somehow I can't format the input text. I used to format itu to white font (I use dark input box) but since the last update it just won't work. So for now I just revert to default white input box. Is it included to the mod that utilise hooks? Can anyone confirm the same issue?

Ps: I've tried to clean the cache with no result.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chooks06:
Same here.. Cursor shows color I selected. Black text appears on trying.

Will be changing either the bubble or background whichever is available as workaround.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alteristkang:
I'm facing the same issue with eliezerjk90. I can't change my input text format to white. Previously my setting was white text, black box. But now, the text will just be dark and I can't change the colour of the text. Whereas, the bubble input box's colour can be changed.

I can live with it, just got to change the box colour to something brighter, but I would hope it would be fixed in the next update or something.

By the way, thank again for this awesome Xposed module
[Xposed Framework Modules] zalood:
Appreciate should you also upload an update with only Extended KMod FWA expiration date.

Without deletion of features that use Hooks.

Reason being: I have disabled the whatsapp auto update and never had problem with both Whatsapp + KMod FWA. The only problem was only expiration date on KMod FWA.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Tomorrow if I have time, I will release that update as Beta in the Xposed repository.

[MENTION=4969223]Krowne[/MENTION] any chance to make it work on ed xposed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] eliezerjk90:
He barely has time to do what he wants to do with this module. So I guess edxposed support wouldn't be available in the near time.

And btw, he has responded to this question before. Using search function or scroll a few pages back before asking is a good habit...
[Xposed Framework Modules] k54k54k54:
me too

''privacy option'' is the best feature of kmod fwa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it doesn't work now ... :crying::crying::crying:

I'm not interested in updating whatsapp, I stopped at some version back,

but kmod fwa 2.7.3 this morning stops working :crying::crying::crying:

if it had already been talked about that the great Krowne, obliges us to update because there would be a mess with those who have old versions, new excesses etc of both whatspp and kmod fwa.

but ...

but ... it would be nice to be able to use an old version of whatsapp and version 2.7.3 of kmod fwa without it stopping working.

thanks by k54 from italy
[Xposed Framework Modules] eliezerjk90:
Come on. He already said that he would try to find time to upload the beta version with all features available (like older kmod). There's really no need to write comment whining about it...

I didn't complain, I just said what I think is important.

can i say that I would prefer to be able to use the old versions without stopping working and forcing you to update ? or even this I can say ???

[Xposed Framework Modules] eliezerjk90:
The thing is he already said he would provide it (the module with new expiration date and all function included). Just wait.

Did you even read his response? He said the problem is in the edxposed side and not from kmod.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Resources hooking is not supported yet.

May not be compatible with all ART devices.

Only a few Xposed modules has been tested for working.

File access services are not implemented yet, now simply use magiskpolicy to enable needed SELinux policies.

Read the list of problems, they are exactly the same problems that the previous version of Xposed had before Nougat and Oreo, before robo89 could end due to lack of time. I'm not going to review a copied and "improved" code of robo89, because it clearly has to correct many things. I am sorry for those of you who have Android Pie, but what I did was evaluate what really interests me, update the operating system and lose Xposed, or stay as I am and have it, unless there is a big security problem, I will not update, as it works well for me as I have it.

[Xposed Framework Modules] sachin karinki:
Does this module helps in hiding a chat, like in Gbwhatsapp Foud Whatsapp etc
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
It's one of the ways that Xposed has to interact with the applications, another way is the resources, and it is a big part of the module, because I use them to change the colors.

Yes, but with the changes made by WhatsApp it no longer works. When I have time, I'll fix the problem with the Hooks and I'll make it work again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Update - KMod FWA v2.7.5.1 (Beta)

I have already published the Beta version with all the options active again (in the repository). But remember, it will not work in the most modern versions of WhatsApp, for the most modern versions I recommend installing the stable version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Eymer7:
Thank you very much for your efforts.

Until wich version of WA this beta is supposed to work?

Thanks again mate
[Xposed Framework Modules] zalood:
Much appreciated ...

Not sure ...

but I'm using KMod FWA v2.7.5.1 together with WA v2.18.361 and all is fine

except the Select Contact kept going back to white color.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ticktock666:
Any idea which is the latest WhatsApp version that will work with all kmod features?

I'm currently on 2.19.69, and I'm downloading multiple older versions from apkmirror to test.
[Xposed Framework Modules] k54k54k54:
a bit of instability is not important imho :good::good::good:

great job great man ! :angel::angel::angel:

beta 2.7.5.1 works fine with 2.18.361 on my lepro3 x720 android 6.

and I remind everyone that the new versions of whatsapp limit the sharing of photos etc. to ONLY 5 people :crying::crying::crying:

ciao e grazie by K54 via cell LeEco Lepro3 X720
[Xposed Framework Modules] ninestarkoko:
It's the same story again: Kmod worked great on older Whatsapp versions until it reached its "expiration date".

Why forcing people update if latest Whatsapp is not supported?

I mean, I would do the opposite: I don't have time to adapt the code to every new WA build so do not update WA if you don't want to loose Kmod features.

However thanks Krowne for re-releasing a working mod for older Whatsapp versions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sachin karinki:
Please remember , when you add a chat to hidden list, it should be completely hidden from whatsapp contacts list, otherwise the chat will show on recent and frequent chat list while forwarding messages
[Xposed Framework Modules] rophiroth:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Eymer7:
Same here! Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zanquista:
Me too! The privacy options runs perfectly but I'm not able to recieve messages and Whatsapp's notification on the top shows: "Checking for new messages" but i don't recieve anyone.

What can I do?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
I don't know WHY he does this. It's painful on users that he would probably never hear about if he didn't implement this. It breaks installations and settings, it's painful all around and provides absolutely no benefit. Anyone who wants to update can freely do so.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
I just updated whatsapp when kmod expired (sigh) so I have a pretty recent version (2.19.69) and 2.7.5.1 is working great thus far. Input text color is being affected by my theme and privacy settings are back yay! Now people can't see when I'm online again :smiling devil:
[Xposed Framework Modules] SacredDeviL666:
Now can we get back on topic and keep the discussions within the topic of this thread?

Thanks

SacredDeviL666.
[Xposed Framework Modules] k54k54k54:
I agree.

If anyone has his beautiful version of whatsapp and kmod fwa that works fine, why force us to change?

I would prefer Krowne not to make the versions of kmod fwa that expire, but he chose him for his reasons.

I hope that future versions, if possible, will not expire , each of us knows and adapts accordingly.

However thanks Krowne for re-releasing a working mod for older Whatsapp versions.

thanks by k54
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
I agree. Now I'm curious though, what's considered a "new" whatsapp version? The xposed page reads "KMod FWA works for all devices till Version 2.17.96" (probably outdated) and krowne has talked about newer versions but I just updated to 2.19.69, the most recent version for my device and android version it seems, it's way above the quoted working version for kmod but kmod 2.7.5.1 is working perfectly. Is 2.19.69 not new enough?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
To begin with, the newest version of WhatsApp today is not 2.19.69, it's version 2.19.76. These higher versions from version 70 to 76 are versions, beta (I work with beta versions, and a little below I explain why). But the versions from the 68 to the previous stable version, are also betas, and in one of the beta versions, there has been a very big change at WhatsApp code level, therefore all the privacy options (among others) that they work for you, they will not work anymore. That's why I published a version 2.7.5 removing the affected options, and I have released the "beta" 2.7.5.1 for people who aren't in the latest versions of WhatsApp can continue using them for the time being.

You ask, because I don't put the limitation only to the affected version, and the reason that I don't do it, is because don't dedicate myself to see the code of all the versions published daily, don't have time as I explained several post behind. And as I know, whoever uses the beta versions, usually always goes with the latest beta version, then I have made the decision that I have already commented now and in post back.

Because I work with on betas: I always work on betas because I try to prepare the module for WhatsApp improvements. If I didn't do it, when they hit the change from a beta version (like the ones that don't work now), to the stable one, it would stop working for everyone, both for the stable versions and for the beta versions, for that reason I work on betas.

The expiration date of the application is not new, it takes years and it's not the only application that has it, in fact, WhatsApp has it and many more as well.

Please, if you are interested in knowing why I put an expiration date, use the search engine, I don't intend to repeat it every time someone doesn't agree with my decision.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
I don't think it takes years for kmod to expire, I personally had kmod expire on me several times in just one year. Of course whatsapp expires, and they have their own reasons for doing so, I meant third party devs, specially xposed module devs. But I guess this is all beside the point...

Not sure if this is the expiration date explanation you are referring to, if it is then it's pretty much what I assumed it was. I thought it was obvious but maybe I should have stated that I understood the reasoning behind it. The thing is that kmod makes the assumption that everyone is just going along with whatsapp updates which is probably not the case, especially for people who mod it. Many of us use it with stable versions only and when kmod expires out of the blue it can leave people on the stable version hanging (they are stable, not unsupported). Isn't there a way for kmod to check which whatsapp version is installed on the device? Since you can see from the betas which versions have some fundamental changes done that could work, but it could also result in more work from you so that might not be a workable solution. Alternatively, wouldn't it be reasonable for kmod to only notify users of the update and give them the option (along with some information) of updating? Or allow people to disable the expiry date if they want (with a warning)? It's not perfect I know but at least users who have perfectly working setups would have the option to keep it that way. The way it's done now every time kmod expires people come on the thread to wonder why whatever feature it's not longer available or working as expected in the current kmod version, not because of a whatsapp update (which they have disabled) but because of kmod's expiration date. There's probably an uptick in thread activity whenever an expiration date is reached.

Anyways, these are just suggestions mate, not attacks and I'm sorry if they came up that way. Whatsapp is unusable without your module so I really appreciate your work. Thank you!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ale82to:
sorry for bothering can popup notification (chat head) be themed with this module? thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] k54k54k54:
you explained to me that it was because you can't listen to everyone that they report bugs of different versions of whatspp and different versions kmod fwa.

Support Pie?
[Xposed Framework Modules] AniLeo:
Which KMod and WhatsApp version support the 'show deleted messages' feature..

It seems it isn't working on latest updates..

I need that feature.

Could anyone please let me know..

Thank You
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
That kmod version expired a long time ago I think, so even if you find out the version it wouldn't work for a sustained period of time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] AniLeo:
'Show deleted messages' option is longer available in latest version.

Is the feature dropped or planning to include after fixing KMod with newest versions?

Is there any other Xposed module which works that way?

Thank You.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ninestarkoko:
We gave lots of suggestions in order to avoid this behaviour but the dev wants that.

However this latest beta version will expire in a few months , so at that time probably WhatsApp itself will force an update before the Kmod expiration date (and maybe we'll have a new kmod version).

Moreover, WhatsApp has begun a war against "mods", so the future is uncertain.

Krowne is a skilled dev and I'll certainly donate again to support his work.

PS: if possible, keep in mind the floating button white colour bug reported previously, when fixing the code in new versions, thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rpgdev:
Whatsapp can take a while before forcing you to update. If you are on the latest version now I think it can take more than a "few months" before whatsapp forces you to update. I hope you are right though. That being said, where do you see kmod's expiration date? I was actually looking at the preference strings to see if it was anywhere there to manipulate it but nothing jumped at me like being the expiration date setting. Crafty Krowne :D

You probably know this but in case you don't: if you restart whatsapp from kmod the floating button gets its color back.
[Xposed Framework Modules] androidfive:

[Xposed Framework Modules] hansxl:
You might try reading some posts about this before asking:silly:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Guys, I'm aware that the latest stable version of WhatsApp has broken all the options of the module. When get some time, I'll try to fix it if only to work on the latest stable version, and then adapt it to work on several versions at the same time.

For the moment I'm still busy as said before. The resource-based options will continue to work for now, but all Hooks options, as I said above will stop doing so, so if you have installed the latest versions of WhatsApp, I recommend installing the stable version of KMod FWA that has the options of Hooks disabled.

I apologize to everyone, but have a life outside of my computer, and can only dedicate time when finish my obligations, remember that this project is based on a hobby.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Marvino.:
Is there any WhatsApp mod\xposed module\thing that's capable of hiding camera panel from the main interface? I've tried almost every mod so far but none of them all can achieve this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] androidfive:
I want it too, it sucks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Marvino.:
Yeah it's. My main concern is with these damn useless panels (camera, calls...) Yet there's no single mod can do them.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
This module does it, only that I don't have time at the moment to fix the code, so now it doesn't work. When you solve the problem of the hooks, that option will work again, also the privacy options, and some other options.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Marvino.:
I'll definitely wait for this to work again. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ninestarkoko:
Of course you won't find the date in any xml of the app as it is written (and protected) in the java code :D Remember that many xposed developers know their things well (and that's why they also release great modules)....

Mmm I changed the floating button colour but it just becomes white, even after refreshing it from kmod. Do you have the default (green) colour or modded it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cipitaua:
Good to know! But in my case it does not work at all. I'm on HavocOS (Pie). I've tried both flavors of latest edxposed 0.4.1.2_beta, and both KMod FWA 2.7.5 and 2.7.5.1.

When I apply the theme, e.g. 'dark side', nothing changes in whatsapp :(

Is it possible that HavocOS does not have theming feature?
[Xposed Framework Modules] zoel.fahmi:
Did Xposed work for Pie? That's the biggest question here
[Xposed Framework Modules] cipitaua:
yes edxposed works fine with other modules such as xposed-edge or greenify. Only Kmod FWA does not.
