[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
You would have to uninstall grinrdr and re-install it to do that, but then would simply be forced to update the app to use it. They force updates after either a certain amount of time or a certain number of versions come out, I'm not sure of the criteria used.

I had posted on the last page about why people cannot find 9.17.3 here currently. When I posted updates for 9.17.1 and 9.17.2 and asked for testing/feedback from other users, nobody bothered to give me any feedback whatsoever, on if there were certain features working or not.

When I made the update for 9.17.3 I found the not keeping chats of blocked profiles problem myself, as I had a bit more time to test things myself. That is why you are not keeping chats in 9.17.2, it wasn't discovered until after the 9.17.3 update. I went to take 9.17.1 and 9.17.2 down and was going to fix them and re-upload the fixed mods, and accidentally took down 9.17.1 and 9.17.3 as I had been awake for over 2 days at that point. I took the proper 9.17.2 down as it still had the issues and here we are.

Then with the large amount of people that didn't read my post about what happened to 9.17.3 I basically sat to watch if anyone would notice, only one person noticed and liked the post as I could tell they read through it. This is why I state about people not reading. I continually see repetitive posts on the same exact things multiple times.

With the recent incidents such as one user making demands of me to modify the app to exactly how he wanted it, and then talking trash about me saying "yeah not sure why he's not seeing reality here" because I would not adjust the mod to his exact wants and he also made demands previous to that wanting a super-detailed change log for every version and wanted me to check each version for him just to let him know which version had the most features since his last update. With stuff like that, it's been a real put-off for working with this. Also this is an Xposed module, not an LSPatch module, I have zero plans since this incident to help with LSPatch any longer. LSPatch doesn't use root, so the results are not the same, which very well could have been part of his problems.

Between all of that and people asking the same things time and again, I am likely taking a bit of a break from updating this on here for a while. I will keep an eye on it of course, I did updates because the original author asked me to assist some time ago, so I have.

As you can see from his "issues" section on Github, The original author does not support LSPatch and has told people to use LSPosed, which of course, requires root, I have zero plans to assist with LSPatch support after the break, as it just leads to more issues and side tracks the focus of this thread.

So basically you don't need to apologize for asking a legitimate question, I also saw you now have a rooted phone, so congratulations on that! I think you will find a much better experience with this mod now.

Since you brought up the chat message part and I stated I had intended to fix and re-upload it, and you have a new rooted device I will attach it here then I will consider my on a bit of a break. If you still have a problem with chats disappearing, let me know, as I only had to change one variable for this and didn't test it myself, yet it should work.

Note, if you were using the version off Github, ElJaviLuki had changed the package name in the past, so make sure you disable that version in LSPosed module manager, of the package names of the different modules could conflict each other....
