[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
Does it work if you select "local storage"?

Also, at what point does the backup hang? Does it hang on "saving chats to Google Drive"?
[Xposed Framework Modules] bersoage:
sorry for the delay. I am doing LOCAL restoration. The process of reading the file begins and there it is kept in a LOOP, at no time does it change from the GMOD screen to the Grindr screen to restore the chats. it just stays reading the file in GMOD. However, if the backups work, but not the restoration. I clarify that I am on android 10. again sorry for my bad English. Do you want screenshot?
[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
This is what happened to me as well (see my comment a page before). It didn't work for GDrive, but for local backups it did the same - not showing any progress.

I was able to restore using Grindr's own backup/restore.

But problems started emerging....

First of all I use Island to have a sandboxed duplicate, with another profile name and a spoofed location (about 2km away). That wouldn't refresh at all, much like what some others have said when they spoof location.

So I downgraded app back to 6.2.2 keeping mod at 6.4. In this case I was able to restore local backup from the mod, but the progress bar just hanged until I FC it. Having said that, I *think* it did restore everything, at least I saw chats that weren't there (dunno if all or some...).

Both the regular app and the sandboxed app work, but the Mod filters don't work (like filter responded, etc), stock app filters do.

hi! I have donated you with paypal, how do I receive the password now? I also have a problem that I do not know if it would be solved with your mod or if it could help .... with huawei p40 lite it does not have the google services and it does not allow me to login ... it tells me that it gives me a connection error, can you fix it? thanks!

[Xposed Framework Modules] baj24:
Works fine for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lanchon:
lockdown found me single. i installed grindr to test the mod, and grindr has provided at least a bit of company.

[MENTION=9193758]GrindrGuyNYC[/MENTION] thanks for sharing this. i hope you are doing OK. viable virions in the environment in NYC are rapidly vanishing, along with the chances of contracting the virus. stay strong.

LATEST VERSION:

GMod 6.5.1

CHANGELOG:

Update for Grindr 6.5.1 (Compatible with 6.3.0 - 6.5.1 only!!)

NOTES:

*Please note that support for < 6.3.0 has ended.

No password. Enjoy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
[MENTION=9193758]GrindrGuyNYC[/MENTION] v6.5.1 works correctly using a regular profile, but not using a second work profile like the sandoxed Island environment, as it won't refresh on launch. You aware of why this might be?
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
From my experience using Grindr and the module with Parallel Space (another multi-account tool) I have found that for backups to work correctly, you must force-close Grindr so that only one instance is running at a time. If you find that the module is calling the wrong Grindr instance on restore, simply exit that instance and open the sandboxed version and it should work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
[MENTION=9193758]GrindrGuyNYC[/MENTION] the blocked chat is on the list, but do't have the red arrow with last version.

Photo icon not load, too
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
Can you send a logcat? I am aware of a bug where sometimes the icons don't appear until you scroll around the Inbox for a bit - but they eventually appear.
[Xposed Framework Modules] daekdroom:
I think this has been reported some weeks ago, but it still happens. The fresh faces profiles do not show up at the grid if you replace it with profile history. It's really a shame, because the profile history is very useful.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sea-Wolf:
Nope, the 4.1 build was only released a few hours ago.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
Please post your build# (version code). Grindr released several different "versions" of 4.0.0 and I thought I covered them all, but it is possible that I missed one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
It's sorta like the feature that highlighted profiles of people you chatted with, which was present up to not too long ago in the mod and was removed when the app started using it... I hope this doesn't get removed too (and hopefully that other feature comes back in some form).
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
The reason for the removal of the active chat highlight, is because Grindr implemented that as a paid feature and this app does not unlock paid features.

As for the chat backups, I haven't had a chance yet to look at the new version so I have no idea how it works. Once I figure it all out, I will decide whether or not to continue to maintain the mod's chat backup feature.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sea-Wolf:
I'll be curious to know what it's doing and how. It says it's creating a local backup as well, but if it is it's doing it in a very non-obvious place because I can't find it. I also can't find where it's putting the backup in Google Drive, it doesn't appear in the files I have access to or in the Backups area (where you can see your device backups and WhatsApp backup) but I tested it out last night by installing the app on my tablet as well and it successfully restored from Google Drive, so it's hiding the backup in there somewhere.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
Android apps can request access to a special secret folder in your Google Drive account. It's similar to the userdata folder on a normal android phone, which is not directly accessible to the user. Of course with rooted devices, we are able to access this folder, however, there is no way to access the folder on Google Drive unless you do so through the app's credentials.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sea-Wolf:
I'm pretty sure that's the method WhatsApp is using and while you can't access the files, you can use Backups to see that it's there and when it was last modified. I'm not seeing Grindr in there at all.

Unless I've got the wrong idea and this secret folder you're talking about is something else entirely. If it is I'd be curious to find a way to at least see how much of my storage it's chewing up and to verify for myself that the backup is working correctly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
It should also be noted that Grindr switched to using an encrpyted database (part of the reason why there was no GrindrMod update for 3 months) so it is possible that the backups are encrypted as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sea-Wolf:
I've done some digging around and the appDataFolder you were talking about is a different thing to the Backups system that's also available (typical of Google to provide multiple many ways of doing the same thing).

https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/appdata

You can check that it's working by going to Drive -> Settings -> Manage Apps and you'll see an entry called GrindrMod and in my case it's using 12Mb. Yes, it really is called GrindrMod and yes, it's actually Grindr itself that has created it, not GrindrMod. So, weird coincidence maybe?

There's no way that I can see to get to the files unless your phone is rooted, so I'm not sure what exactly Grindr is putting in there. Lots to explore.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kröchlz:
"com.grindrapp.android_4.0.0-40688" build 40688

I downloaded the APK by APKMirror .. Now I came back to the previous version 3.28.1, only it is working here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
A discussion brought up early on during the old mod was that the app adds a darkening filter to the thumbnails (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68544050&postcount=109). I wonder if it were possible to have the option to remove that overlay on the cascading view.

A feature suggestion: some sort of color coding system that indicates the level of interaction with a user in terms of time. So someone I recently chatted with versus someone I chatted with a long time ago. This would be different from what the app has recently implemented of highlighting profiles with chats. (I'm just thinking of alternatives which also make sense!)

I also have a question regarding free vs paid: it's clear you have unlimited whatever with the paid version, but what are the limits for free? How many blocks, saved messages (is it per user or per lines or what?), and favorites are given in the free version?

Is there any way to not have certain chats deleted automatically?
[Xposed Framework Modules] r25txe:
Since Grindr are finally(!) introducing a backup solution I propose you drop that feature.

This will free your development time dealing with issues surrounding that feature. It also makes my request for backup reminders redundant.

Most users on this forum are rooted so they'll have the alternative of ADB, TWRP, and Titanium backups.
[Xposed Framework Modules] riahc3:
Can I fake GPS location on Tinder with this, too?
[Xposed Framework Modules] r25txe:
No
[Xposed Framework Modules] riahc3:
Location isn't working. I open up Google Maps and it still centers me to my real location instead of the fake I set in GrindrMod

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

[Xposed Framework Modules] r25txe:
The location set is not systemwide, it only hooks Grindr's location calls.

CHANGELOG:

[Xposed Framework Modules] r25txe:
Working fine on latest Grindr 4.1.x for me on 8.1 Oreo.

Can I make a request for a feature?

A way to either hide chats or archive them?

Similar to WhatsApp/Viber style.

For chats you don't need, but don't want to delete either. They would come back into your main chats view if you get a new message, or GrindrMod could flag them someway and the user decides what to do.

I have no idea if this is messy, overly complex, or just unfeasible so apologies if this is a huge request.
[Xposed Framework Modules] marik9581:
after installing the latest version 4.1.1 - i get an error when opening the app - module not active. please reboot to activate this module.

i trying to re-open the app and restart the device - nothing works.

any suggestions?

ok - i found out i have to install XPOSED app first. is this app requires my device to be rooted?

or maybe i can find a version for unrooted devices?
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
Xposed is not a normal app. It is a framework that modifies your /system partition, thus turning your entire device into an unofficial customized ROM which breaks SafetyNet and will more than likely void your manufacturer's warranty. I would encourage you to visit the official Xposed thread here on XDA as well as the threads for your specific device for more information.
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
Yes I can!

How I have to do?

Back to 6.4.0 and don't have any problem.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:

I have the same LOCAL BACKUP problem as with the previous version. Performs backup perfectly, but does not progress restoration, freezes in a loop

Question: Is there any difference in the operation of YAHFA & SANDHOOK from EdXposedManager that may have affected that function?

I am using sandhook
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
No idea - my knowledge of EdXposed is very limited (just grateful that it's working at all).

I'm still running Oreo with official Xposed.

So you said it's just the local backup that is causing problems?? The Google Drive backup also does a local backup (if you have noticed) so if that is working but local backup is not, then I'm not sure what could be causing that. I'll have a look and see what I can find.

EDIT: Can you tell me exactly where it freezes on restore? Does it make it into the Grindr app to show the restoration progress indicator?
[Xposed Framework Modules] bersoage:
Yes, I saw that the copy is created locally in addition to uploading it to Google Drive. There is no problem creating the copy but restoring the vopa. freezes even in gmod while reading the file. never changes to the grinder screen to show the progress of the restoration process of the chats. sorry for my bad English. surely the problem is in EdXposedManager unfortunately. I will have to go back to 6.2.2 in the hope that it can be fixed soon

[Xposed Framework Modules] bersoage:
I just found another strange behavior, although since it is not a function that I always use, it is not important to me. :p

When installing the GMOD "SEND TAP" stops working. displays the function icon but cannot be press the button.

sorry for my bad English.

I hope my contribution is useful. Great app :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:

*I have been experimenting with different methods of injecting the Xposed hooks, and some might result in only partial hooks when using EdXposed or other unofficial builds of the Xposed framework. I am still using official Xposed on Oreo, so I can't test the other builds.

Well, however you did it, it worked. So far, so good.

Why are you still on oreo?
[Xposed Framework Modules] thecoolkid:
EdXposed works wonderfully in Oreo, I'm using it myself on two devices. There are no downsides and you gain SafetyNet passing (for the time being). It's faster too and you can switch back at any point if you decide to. I couldn't recommend trying it out enough.

[Xposed Framework Modules] sco00262:
Grindr 6.7.2 will FC very often with the latest mod,i'll try to downgrade grindr.
[Xposed Framework Modules] willysmith:
That's odd. Works perfectly fine for me, even fixes some issues I had previously!

One thing I notice that happens is that if I receive a new tap, the red notification dot shows up next to taps, the when I scroll to see the tap it gets "misplaced" to messages (as if there's a new message), and it goes away when I go to messages. Just a minor nuisance, and might be a problem with the app and not GMod. (?)

[MENTION=9193758]GrindrGuyNYC[/MENTION] Any chance of getting expiring photos to show up with the other received photos when scrolling through photos?

Also, a question about how the app chooses what messages to delete automatically: is there a limit to how many conversations are saved before others are automatically deleted? Does it depend on size, date? What can you tell us about this?

Thanks always, and stay safe!
[Xposed Framework Modules] sco00262:
It's fine wirh 6.7.1,no big deal.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mario0318:
I swear, the Grndr app developers must have a sniffer tailgating this mods development because I can't recall how many times, with days and sometimes weeks going by without an official update to the main app, when a mod update is released, Grndr suddenly has an imperative bug fix update that cranks up the version number beyond the mods compatibility range.

I'm almost certain, the moment the mod update for v6.8.0 is released, v6.8.1 will be pushed out right after, for "bug fixes". Yes, fixes to squash these seemingly pesky bugs that continue to plague the apps' usability and performance except the fixes never quite seem as apparent in terms of improving quality or features as the overpolished mass of intrusive advert services and increasingly restrictive network connections dependent on ad server handshakes to ensure ad delivery or otherwise you'll just plainly remain offline.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
While I can assure you that they do, in fact, know about this module, I don't think they are making decisions specifically targeted at circumventing its functionality. In the recent months there have been a few substantial changes that required lengthy debug sessions but the truth of the matter is that I have a full time job and there are only so many hours in the day! Doing my best to keep it updated.

Has anyone been experiencing abnormally high background CPU usage from Grindr? Can you check with 3C process monitor or similar to get CPU % of Grindr app in the background?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Hirs_E_Fruit:
I get sometimes the message Grindr is draining battery in background... so yes for me
[Xposed Framework Modules] OrbitronX:
Uncheck "Keep Phone Awake" in settings, see if it helps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:
All that does is prevent Grindr from taking a full wakelock (why they enable this by default is beyond me). The excessive CPU usage I am describing occurs even when the device is asleep.
[Xposed Framework Modules] OrbitronX:
Why indeed, especially since half the times, disabling it does not stop Grindr from keeping the device awake.

Did you try blocking it in appops?

Anyway, I have no background drain from Grindr.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrindrGuyNYC:

[Xposed Framework Modules] r25txe:
Hey [MENTION=9193758]GrindrGuyNYC[/MENTION], I haven't used Grindr in ages, but with lockdowns and distancing I'm going to fire it up again.

I reckon it's about September 2018 since I used it and this mod. I have a backup of both apps from then via a TWRP backup. So Grindr v4.x.x is my guess, I understand it's up to v6.x.x now.

Do you think I can update both to the latest while retaining any still in use features? (I'm on an Android 10 ROM, I've seen feedback that the mod is working OK for some on this)

My thinking is to restore GrindrMod first, then the backup of Grindr itself, freeze Grindr(?) maybe restart phone, then update GrindrMod, then update Grindr to the latest. Or would I need to start either app at some stage in that process?
