It looks like I'm being forced to update past 9.16.0, was the link for 9.17.3 removed? The only files I can see are 9.17.1 and 9.17.2
[Xposed Framework Modules] mariuszc702:
I'm also looking for version 9.17.3 and it isn't there, but I think it was
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I went to take 9.17.1 and 9.17.2 down temporarily due to a function issue that seems to have stirred up some issues with the mod. I think I accidentally took 9.17.1 and 9.17.3 accidentally... I caught the problem in 9.17.3, given that 9.17.3 is out now though I'm not sure if I should go back to re-update those previous versions now that there are updates past them.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Since it's heavily modded as you stated, do you have anything blocking Google or Firebase? Grindr relies on a token used to login to Grindr servers that comes from Firebase. If it cannot get that token or update it every so often, it will fail to login.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
Thank you for the mod! I have used a previous version and it was quite useful. Where could I find the links for the 9.17.3? I have tried searching the thread but no luck :/
[Xposed Framework Modules] psone:
Is there a more up to date APK? I'm using the latest version from here: https://github.com/ElJaviLuki/GrindrPlus/releases

But it says it is for 9.9.1 and not loaded

I'm using the 9.17.3 version from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/grind...ate/grindr-gay-chat-meet-date-9-17-3-release/
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I went back a few posts and can't find the 9 17.3 mod. I'm assuming we just download it from Google play that particular version anyway
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
for the grindr app yes but where is the lspatcher module for that one? 😅
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Anyone know where I can get the mod for 9.17.3?
[Xposed Framework Modules] DoJo_Mast3r:
Yes please 🙏
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lanchon:
before people start jumping down my throat: i mix technical facts with very err.. opinionated personal opinions, and yes i present it all as facts. it's a rhetoric device of course, life's too short to write boring technical facts without trolling a little bit here and there...
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
This was a really good post to explain to those that read what might be an issue. For me the growth size came form using LSPatch and ReVance patcher. Seperately the apk didn't grow much in size, but with a combination it almost doubled 🤯 #FrankensteinAPK
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lanchon:
@RobbieTechie could you maybe consider republishing the LSPatcher mod for grindr you took down? just call it something else, like warning-virus-do-not-install.apk or something that will scare away non-readers. thanks :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] DoJo_Mast3r:
Haha this was a great read and very informative, I laughed a few times at the evil empire war. Ive been stuck with a Samsung and Huawei, both are great phones but are completely impossible to root.

This week I bit the bullet and bought a new pixel 7 pro, rooting has been a breeze and I cant believe what I have been missing out on!

I have grindr in Insular island with GPS Setter xposed module inside that island so I can still use evil empire maps outside of it and not have the fake gps effect my real location with apps that I actually need my real location for day to day operations.

All my grindr issues are solved, google drive backup/restore works, maps even works. No issues now! A little worried how I am going to pay off this phone 😂🤑 but deff worth doing. Framework locked phones suck!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lanchon:
> This week I bit the bullet and bought a new pixel 7 pro

congrats on your newly found freedom! fighting for it doesn't always mean violence, but it does have a cost. it is worth it though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I am still wondering where I can find 9.17.3? I am on 9.17.2 and it works with the exception of blocked chats deleting the message but for me but a big deal. If it's not available just let me know
[Xposed Framework Modules] mariuszc702:
I'm also looking for this grindr plus 9.17.3 add-on
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I read through the last 10 plus pages. I just don't know where to find it. The github repo has a version from back in May so I have no idea myself
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Me too me too me too, I want 9.17.3, just point me to something to click on, forget about reading anything, that's for suckers....
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Download​

https://github.com/ElJaviLuki/GrindrPlus/releases <- THAT is the official download repo page for the mod.

Anyone know which version this is for? I keep seeing read (even though I have many times) well this is where I can see to download this but it's dated back on May so I'm not sure what version it's for.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Speaking of reading, did you read where THAT says:

"v1.2.5 (for v9.9.1)" <== direct quote off the Github page

big hint there, "for v9.9.1"

You're more than welcome to use the release from the original author instead of an update here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I should downgrade to 9.9.1? I thought they blocked old versions. Anyway I guess I'll stick to 9.17.2 until they block it. I appreciate the mod and sorry for asking where to get the latest...
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I will for sure text it and I read one post about removing it but that's all I seen so I read back a few times wondering what I was missing. I'll give this a shot and provide feedback. I use the app quite a bit and yes I did notice chats disappear but I don't want to come and complain about it as I was happy just to have the mod. Will test later and provide feedback

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] vasileioskorompilias:
Thank you for your very informative, but also very complex reply. It pinpoints the problem finally.

Can you please tell us if we can use a Magisk or LSposed Mods to help with all these, because for the moment in my phone Grindr is blocked even if I use the original app from the store with all mods disabled. It keeps saying it does not have access to the internet.

I have disabled system integrity verification and signature verification in my MIUI rooted phone through a mod. Also have play integrity fix. But I am not code fluent, so I get lost easily.

If you could figure out an dead easy step by step way to run Grindr in a rooted phone, with this awesome Grindr Plus Mod (hopefully) by spoofing things up and hiding ourselves from the Impotent Empire, that would be awesome!!! Pleeeeeaseeeee :)

Power to the people! :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
Just curious. Does the block function in chat still work if someone blocked me first? I want to block their profile too so they won't see my profile if they unblocked me in the future. Or is it only one way?
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Thank you Robbie. Been using 9.17.3 for a couple of weeks now since the original upload, and it's been flawless. Your work on this is so valued and appreciated. Don't blame you for taking a bit of a break after the way some guys behave - take care and hope to see you back soon
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
I tested this a few months ago and it seemed to work in the way you desire but with an odd glitch. If I blocked a user who had already blocked me, I would then no longer appear in their "unblock users" list, so it was then impossible for them to unblock me. I didn't test it thoroughly so I don't know if something went wrong or if it's still the case because it was a long time ago.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
In testing the new one you released for 9.17.2 it appears to resolve the issue with blocked chats losing the chat history. Haven't noticed anything else personally but if there's something I can test I for sure will.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
It wouldn't be impossible to unblock you then, but they would have to use the Unblock All option, and that would work, but they could no longer unblock you as an individual.

I do know even with users blocked you use to be able to pull up their profile even when in the blocked list, and you no longer can do that. They seem to have changed how the code handles blocks on the server side after this was implemented in the mod With the mod, if you blocked someone is should show a red bar at the bottom of their profile with an option to unblock them.

You can also still report them. I had to do that yesterday, Someone got mad that I told them I wasn't interested and stole my profile pic and put a bunch of nasty stuff on their profile with my photo and then tapped me to get my attention because all because they were bitter. The person had almost no info on their profile, and to me that's not a situation that I want to walk into. and they were mad about it. Reporting it to grindr was useless as they did almost nothing about it. I've ran into a few fake profiles near me lately and they refuse to remove them, and yet they wonder why the app is losing users. quite quickly. They need to hire humans to handle stuff like that because A.I. doesn't know how to deal with situations such as that, and with what occurred that profile should have been banned. In my opinion they have too many security issues with the way they run the app now. I've also ran into quite a few drug users over the years on there and they never remove those when they get reported., the app is in a rather sad state, but I have a feeling they do not care one bit. Anyways, sorry for the side rant. Due to some of their code changes server side is likely why the blocks don't show in the list. I haven't done much to test if there are ways to get that to show in the block list...

Edit: I just read through your post again so I thought I would add some thoughts here. If someone else blocks you, you will still get blocked by the, but you should also get a message in your chats that states:

"[You have been blocked.]"

And it will mean whichever profile shows up on the left said in the thumbnail is who blocked you, then you could block them back if you wish and if they unblock you you should still have them blocked, or if they were someone doing something shady like what happened to me yesterday then you can still report them.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Long time user and silent appreciator of the effort you and the others with coding skills have put in and then chosen to share with the rest of us. I think there are more of we quiet types than the demanders overall but you don't see it in the forum posts. I hope you enjoy your break from it, and know the silent majority do really appreciate you sharing the updates that make the app tolerable! Thanks Robbie. ( I registered specifically to say thanks )
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
I'm a long time lurker here and I've been using this mod for a long time now , i only have the best regards for this saved me from a lot of stupid people and it's been honestly a lifesaver quite literally won't go into details but if it weren't for this who knows what would have happened, I've seen people are being a bit "extra" with demands and constant annoyances, cmon guys you're getting free **** at least you can say thank you or at verrrryyy least be nice when asking for some possible feature Robbie is doing it for free his own good will 🤷‍♂️ you can't demand jack **** honestly, I'm sorry for not being very active in comments but Robbie in any case if you need a tester I'm here applying to test any mod you ever need!!!! shoot me a message for whatever you may need as my thanks for this mod being kept alive.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
You are very welcome, and thank you for the feedback, it is appreciated!!! I don't know how many of you there are but I can tell you are out there by the numbers of downloads I see happen over time. Most people here are not demanding and have been rather helpful. Even things when someone notices something and says things such as "hey I don't think this is working properly." instead of things such as "hey this is messed up, fix it the way on want and do it asap" there's a huge difference there.

I didn't write the code for the block notifications in chat, but I have fixed it over some of the updates if it quit working. When someone recently got demanding about it though, then stated it was "half-assing" stuff I viewed that as extremely disrespectful for such a great feature. I also know that last time I spoke to that person they were extremely busy yet they would take the time to help others when they can, and I have huge respect for them and all the contributions they have made here!!! Thank you guys for all the supportive feedback, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I'm glad you are still around! I have no problems with people making a suggestion or asking if something can be done. I like the idea that was suggested about adding when a profile was created, as I've watched grindr generate fake profiles and fill them with random data over time. Currently there are some of us looking into bringing the extra fields back, and I believe down the road that may be possible to add if not much changes I will for sure keep your offer in mind as updates come out. You are always welcome to simply post a message or send me a message if you believe something is not working quite like it should. I hope all you guys are all doing well, and please have yourselves an awesome day!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
So far so good, I don't know if it's just me but on a prior version somehow I was able to message someone they blocked me. I accidentally replied and they said they blocked me and then I got the message I was blocked again I answered and said okay and it showed it again and the message was read. I don't know what version that was but 9.17 2 that doesn't seem to be the case not that I care was just curious if anyone noticed that. Anyway keep up the good work
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jvlc:
Yes, I noticed that too, but not in recent versions. I cannot remember exactly, but this "feature" disappeared long time ago. I'd say more than one year ago.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
hahah damn that's a pretty good feature 😂😂
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Hello everybody,

I tried to use any mod grindr version for the xtra without any success.

The release version v1.2.5 (for v9.9.1) does not work with the recent new grindr version, so its impossible to use the release. If I use the old grindr 9.9.1 version I run also into an error because Grindr needs to update to its version 9.24. Is there any troubleshooting for this error or any other way to activate the xtra version these days??

Greets David
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
Hi David go back few pages here you'll find update by Robbie for 9.17.2 😁 always run through the posts to find the solution
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
to be precise on page 43 😁

To be precise on page 43
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Its difficult to understand what steps I have to do. Do i have to use 9.9.1 apk for the release and which steps do I have to follow?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
same version as mod so 9.17.2 use apk mirror
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
I m new in this, we have to precises this a bit more ...;)

What is mod version and where I can find? Apk mirror, what is this? Where to find?
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Btw , there is already 9.17.3 !!! I need to use this version it is said..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
there is but mod is not out for it for the time being you don't need it it works just fine at 9.17.2 and quoting myself back page 43 robbie posted mod, your phone has to be rooted magisk installed lsposed installed and then you can mod it
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Thank you really much, helped a lot.

Just for my further understanding regarding the next mods for other versions. Can I install the grindr by google store, then, or do I need to download the apk for my system??
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
nope sadly google will install the latest so best use apk mirror 😁 also be sure to disable automatic updates in google playstore when you install the one from apk mirror when new mod comes out then install it and then you can update the app as well
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
... but then I could update by google too? 🤔
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
depends unless they update even further for example you have 9.17.2 and mod comes out at 9.17.3 but they update to 9.17.4 and when you use google you skip 3 sooo it's better to be smart and use the manual mode
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
What means, always first download grindr version NEW and then the mod? Or the other way?
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
So always install first the mod, afterwards the newest Grindr Version? 🤔
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
Grindr version has to match mod version there is no newest latest or whatever 😁 if mod gets released you use the version mod is made for
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
feel free to read the previous pages it would benefit you to know what to expect and how the things work here
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
0. Install magisk and lsposed on your phone. You only have to do this once.

1. Read this thread and find the latest mod that was released. Start from the latest post and go backwards.

2. Go to apk mirror and download the matching version of the app. It has to be exactly the same for it to work.

3. Install the app.

4. Install the mod and check in lsposed that it is enabled.

5. See if it works. If not, try restarting your phone. If still not, ask politely for help in this thread, or just uninstall the app and mod and try an earlier version.

6. Turn off auto-updates for the app. When you are forced into an update by the app, come back here and start from step 1 again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Perfect handout for starters here! Thank you sooo much! 🙏🙏
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
Can I just ask, what will happen if the mod is older than the grindr version? (Different versions mod/grindr)

It could happen that I need to install a newer version in short and I don't have a new mod...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
The mod won't apply and the app will just run as normal. So it shouldn't break anything but the mod tweaks to the app will be missing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
READ THE PREVIOUS POSTS!

Robbie has said it so many times...most of the answers you seek are already here. Just read the previous posts!
[Xposed Framework Modules] dave-note9:
I have read, man! These are many pages and people can ask again. Then you can reffer to the exact page what would help more than just say read 44 pages!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
The mod has to match the version or it simply will not work. Much easier to answer a simple question than to repeat please read over and over...
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Grindr use to have major chat issues about a year ago where you could block or get block and the chats would still go through when you attempted to chat with someone afterwards. Stuff like this is a massive reason why I say whoever handles their server is pretty much clueless. It may be an issue with XEP-0191 on the chat server, and blocking for the chat side is not configured correctly
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Asking the same question(s) over and over when it's already in the thread and answered in the thread only causes more clutter and wasted space in the thread. There is this amazing feature on the top of the page called search, it's the most incredible thing.

Nobody said you need to read all 44 pages, and it's not even really 44 now 45 legit pages compared to things such as a text book.. This is rather light reading. Let alone you trying to tell people they "have to be more precise" they don't have to do anything for you, it's not a requirement, you honestly sound like the guy that was trash talking me and it was clear he had no idea what he was even talking about while he was acting that way.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
So 9.17.4 is coming out one month after the last grindr release. I honestly have zero plans on doing an update. All I can say is given the complaining about saying people need to read through stuff here, and people turning around and demanding to be pointed to something directly and precise does not motivate me to continue working on this any more.

IF I do end up taking this back up, when I come back, I will not be doing anything with regards to non-rooted phones, and won't be answering questions, or giving out info about that as this is a MOD, meant to be used on a rooted phone and people should have a basic understanding of how such things work and how to manage them. When used on a non-rooted phone, you will likely NOT get the proper results that someone rooted gets. I'm just not going to contribute to that chaos here any longer from this point forward.

9.17.4 is coming out, just hope they don't force any updates past 9.17.2.....
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
The way I interpreted the post I'm replying to, is that they think it's not okay to point someone in the direction of reading, because that statement is now getting repeated, but it's perfectly fine for someone to repeat a question over and over and over that's already been asked and already answered likly numerous times now....#ironic

What would be much easier would be not updating this mod any longer, and watching grindr push enough updates to make the mod no longer usable. If they force 9.17.3 or definitely 9.17.4 (which had a small release today), not answering the same questions over and over and over and over. I don't mind questions when they are relevant to this, and not asked time and time again. Given the recent posts, I'm not likely going to do an update for 9.17.4, I'm still considering myself on a break form grindr stuff. That and thanks grindr for the recent ignoring of a report when someone stole my profile pics, then impersonated me and talked trash on the profile they created to try and impersonate me. Grindr's motto should be "rules for thee, but not for me" as they don't ever hold people accountable. I've also seen this person steal other people's pics and use thumbnails off the internet to catfish users. Lovely job holding poeple accountable grindr......NOT. Okay moving past the sarcasm...

Here is an example of why this annoys me a bit: When people couldn't find the mod for 9.17.3. Two posts before a bunch of people started saying how they need it and want it and gimme gimme gimme, I made a post that stated what happened and how I messed up and took the wrong mod down when fixing a couple previous versions, and that I would fix 9.17.2 and share it again, which had accidentally been removed. Almost nobody read that post, one person liked it, they had asked a question about 9.17.3 previously, but when they liked the post I had shared, I knew they actually took the initiative to read back through some posts and they had answered their own question.

That's the type of activity I like to see, someone at least making an attempt to figure things out on their own and not having to repeat a question over and over and not telling someone they have to give them an answer and demand them to be precise on where the info was shared. Obviously this community works much better when people help each other out, but they should also take initiative themselves so they will be able to help others and not need to continually have their hand held.
