Scroll back in the thread to the posted mod and read. There were usually at least two variations posted and Robbie summarised what was in each 😁 Tweaks to layouts, some limit adjustments, some enabling experimental features. You'll also find discussion around the album limit being on the server side not the app side and there's no workaround that anyone has found / written / contributed.

There are currently no options settings for the mod. You just need the mod variation that is closest to what you want.

9.9.1 is too old, go some pages down you find latest mod. Did the same mistake when I was starter here. 😇
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
The mod only modifies the exactly matching app. Keep ignoring the nagging to update. You need to hope one of the devs has posted a newer mod if you are forced to update, or learn to do it yourself. Robbie posted some info earlier in this thread if you want to try to DIY. [ It was all Greek to me but you might be more able to follow! ]

I'm just curious, what exactly did you mean by "do the rest" the rest of what exactly? That version was a repost of a former mod that I gave my word I would re-upload after I fixed a bug I had missed in the original post. The rest of what were you trying to do?

Hi,

@RobbieTechie, thank you for your hard work. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Grindr gets more and more problematic. All day today I've been getting sporadic "Unable to refresh" errors, but closing and reopening the app a few times sorts it for a few minutes before it happens again.

The only thing that keeps me using this awful app is this mod! Thanks again for everyone that uses their precious time to keep it alive.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I notice the number on the viewed me all seeing eye is having problems too, and if you block someone there, the number doesn't change unless you close and re-launch the app.

I'm sure grinddr also worked on code server side with the latest update. I've said it before and I'll say it again, most of them are clueless, I guess that's what you get when you axe half your staff and totally kill your trust and safety board and allow people to steal your profile pictures, push drugs, push scams etc. They could really use a class action, but I digress....

@alive505 you're not alone with your issues I've seen multiple people reporting multiple different problems with the recent "updates" / downgrades...
[Xposed Framework Modules] daekdroom:
They seem to have fixed the server-side issue of being able to send messages to people that have blocked you, though...
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Yeah, well, they had seemed to have fixed it last time too, yet here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Xposed Framework Modules] DOUGHBOY126:
to all the admin what do u guys think will happen within next couple months since gridnr has opened a open invite bug bounty for all their platfromas and will this still remain public or get made private
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
This is just a general question and not a feature request, since I don't expect anyone to put any time and effort in to developing a feature which would probably not be at all useful to most.

I'm curious if it's possible to set a filter to show only users that have NOT been favorited?

Therefore when looking at the main grid, any users that have been favorited will not appear.

I ask because favorited users always appear in the separate favorites grid, regardless of being online in the last hour or not. So there's no need for them to take up space in the main grid as well and it would be useful to filter these users out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Theoretically anything is possible. I looked at the API traffic and isFavorite is a boolean value in the grid, so one could process the grid info after it loads, to have it pop out profiles from the grid (remove them) if that value were set to true, which would remove them from the grid if they are a favorite within the loaded grid profiles. It wouldn't really load a full 100 or 600 though as you'd have to load it first then look for the existing isFavorite and then remove them.

In effect that would likely make them appears temporarily and then disappear after the processing had taken place.
[Xposed Framework Modules] droidkeyboardfan12:
Hey sorry to bother you @RobbieTechie but could we get an update for 9.17.4.

9.17.2 has a really annoying bug where it constantly says it's disconnected. I just want to be able to use the app.

Btw maybe you could share in the future a gitlab etc repo and allow people to send you pull requests
[Xposed Framework Modules] go-star:
Maybe u should read the last couple of pages?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Read back in the thread and you will find somewhere around page 30 or so, Robbie covers off how he got started and he did post a link to a github where he does development and a bit of a primer on how he got started.

Search for GrindrPlus on github and be amazed!
[Xposed Framework Modules] droidkeyboardfan12:
yes but this bug wasn't there with 9.16 and i only updated a few days ago. Long after the errors appeared.

it is probably not a server side issue
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Always a useful and intelligent insight, thanks Robbie. You and this project inspire me to learn more about app development and how this things work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Okay, here the deal. I'm not going to reply to each post, but overall in general.

Just because there wasn't an issue before in 9.16.1 doesn't really mean anything. If that was the only version released, they can change things server-side that cause problems even if it seemed to work fine before. Think in terms of time and of the 'app' as simply an interface to the server where the profiles are, simply bits of data that the app displays in an orderly fashion. Here is an example:

This

As for 9.17.4 I don't have plans to release a mod. Grindr changed code, and there is an exreme chance there will be issues. If they played with the code server side, and that seems to be all they do any longer is play with their problems, then it will take a bit for them to figure out. My thought currently is leave them be and let them go through this.

I might go back and pull out 9.17.3, perhaps I will make it seem like it's 9.17.4 (current version) so it won't bother people for updates until we get far enough along again for them to make you update. I don't plan on rushing through this version, but I've been away from this for a bit. Like I said, the problems can be app side at times but also server-side. I have not been affected by these bugs but I honestly don't use the app that much any longer given how bad grindr the company has made this app with their woke practices, they are honestly clueless when it comes to the gay community. Kind of like when a straight guy buys a gay bar and attempts to turn it straight, those fall apart rather quickly too. My thought it at this point they've turned this into a sinking ship and it's simply a matter of time.

EDIT: I chose that profile because it wasn't overttly sexual and seemed like a good profile so I used it as an example. That was from right near Grindr headquarters in Holly wood California

@RobbieTechie

Thank you for your reply.

Many of us would have given up on grindr if it weren't for your support.

The only thing i would add. Is maybe it would be best to move everything to gitlab.

Information is getting lost and complicated in this forum thread.

It would probably be easier to just open issues on gitlab for the different problems then it would be easier to track things
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Perhaps if people here stopped being lazy and were willing to read, these things would not be this way ("complicated" as you put it). Perhaps you would also understand I am not the original author of this mod, I simply contributed to it, if you read the posts, you would know that!

Which, since you are unable to be fine and happy with the updates, you are more than welcome to do some updates yourself, and place anything you wish on Gitlab. I will place things where I wish and if you have an issue with that, then don't use the mod updates I put out, it's that simple.

I post the file's here rather than have people run back and forth to another site, as most people don't want to run around chasing files. Github/Gitlab are more designed towards developers or development teams, not the general public. A forum is a fine thing for this situation unless all they want to do is complain.

Not everyone here is lazy and there are some that have read and had no problems. For them I feel bad at the moment for I feel they are bearing the negative results of others such as yourself. I am now not going to post updates and will go back to taking an even more extended break thanks to your response. You are welcome to give up on grindr any time you wish, that is after all entirely your own choice.

Given that you seem to have problems how I have shared updates, you are certainly welcome to no longer use them. Good day to you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Thanks for all the time you've given to this, along with the other mod authors and contributors.

I wish you all the best seasons greetings and a great 2024!
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Pardon my "French" but screw the p.c. BS! Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year when they arrive.

You are welcome

As I don't like to break my word (it actually means something to me) and I stated I would share 9.17.3 I am not going to let someone else prevent me from my original plans., here are 3 versions of the mod for 9.17.3.

-The first version will record when you view a profile in their viewed me list, it will also prevent updates. If you check for updates in the settings it should say there's not one available and hopefully it will prevent google play nagging you about updates. If you are already on 9.17.4 I'm sorry but this is 9.17.3 only.

-The 2nd version will prevent the recording of when you view someone else's profile, this version also blocks updates.

The 3rd version has the old profile design and also shows the profile ID number, also prevents recording views, and also prevents updates..

So all 3 of these prevent updates...

Version 9.17.4 is being worked on by a few people, but is not currently done cooking and I have no time estimates, it's only about 1/3 to 1/2 done.

I hope everyone is well!!!

At last, i waited for new version (9.17.4)

Thanks you so much 😘
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
While I certainly appreciate the sentiment,

Don't get too excited, it's still not finished yet, it can be a bit tricky to navigate something new.

They should be close to dropping another version soon as it's coming up to another month since they've put anything out.

Hopefully they're working on the many issues people have mentioned such as the grid not refreshing or the viewed me count problems. People have brought up these issues on the grindr sub-reddit also. If they're not going to fix their problems, then they don't really have a use for having an app, but I digress...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Thank for the extra update prevention in these. Happy Christmas and New Year to you too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
My old account got shadowbanned on Sunday so I made a new account yesterday. I have another account as a backup on my 2nd phone with around a dozen of favorited profiles. After I created the new account, I couldn't find some of the said fav'd profiles on the main grid despite their locations aren't far from where I live. I then did the same with my backup account and same thing.

So my question is did something change on the server side on Sunday (Dec 10)? Are these profiles shadowbanned too? Did the server-side change (assuming it happened) trigger something that caused the issue on 9.17.3? I haven't checked on the latest Grindr update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I'm definitely not saying that you are or are not shadowbanned, anything is certainly possible, but I am curious what makes you think that? I'm just asking more out of curiousity?

We've seen a lot of shady stuff out of tech companies over the last few years and grindr is no exception to that, they don't even have a trust & safety board any longer.

As a result of that, on Reddit people have stated they have seen a massive increase in drug pushing on the app and nothing is being done, but I digress.

I do know they have also been losing users left and right. Those profile may have deleted their profiles and the data from them is cached on your phone so you can still click on them and the profile looks like it's still there. Do they say anything on them about recently online?

Things certainly may have changed on the server side. They made some big code changes to the app for 9.17.4 and I have a feeling they have been playing with the code on the server side too.

As I've stated, it feels like that's all they do is play with the code. When the current company first took the app over and things ran rather well right before it was purchased, with the first changes they did, I could load Unlimited profiles on the F*ckr app (that was a windows client for Grindr, not trying to swear) and there were no hacks or mods or anything in that, meaning they messed up the code server-side massively.

Which version of 9.17.3 are you using, I can disable the incognito bit as I don't think it works as it was intended any longer. I do know that ElJaviLuki stated it was buggy too and I think it is on by default. You could try to go into settings and press online, but you'd have to remember to it all the time. You could do it and just see if it helps or I can update the version you normally use and see if it helps that way.

Updating to 9.17.4 is of course up to you, but there is no fully up to date mod for it yet, just keep that in mind.
[Xposed Framework Modules] fairthomas:
What purpose does it serve to object to such words? It isn't BS to not want to say Merry Christmas. Verily, there are even many Christians who think it a confused and improper holiday.

And a person may not want to say Merry Christmas because of any strong conviction except to avoid conflict with somebody who is reactive to mere words, despite the meme's triteness. Call it pc or whatever you want, but are you trying to nag people into sincerely wishing you a Merry Christmas? More likely they will learn that it is easier to remain silent toward you.

I've never heard of anybody who avoids saying Happy New Year, or who is reasonably offended from it's utterance. It is a wonderful thing to live in a society that, when comapred to much of the world, has sectarian conflict that rarely rises beyond words. Even though the words used can be abominable. Does anybody find the words "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" to be abominable? Even if you don't like it, at least nobody is gonna be killed over it, right? What purpose does it serve to object to such words?
[Xposed Framework Modules] simplepinoi177:
@fairthomas , I think the remark/statement was meant as being against "p.c." (political correctness) -- since he was responding to the greeting "I wish you all the best seasons greetings and a great 2024!" but wished to do without what is perceived as rather vague, and went straight to greeting specifically the traditional Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I don't believe it was fishing for it being said to him.

Be that as it may, as per Forum Rule 2.4 (quoted below), "political, and / or religious discussions...none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA." because "...Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive...". In any case, your reply is rather off-topic to this discussion/topic as well (Forum Rule 15) as it adds no substantial value towards anything about a grindr mod.

So how about we refrain from going off-topic and everyone merely wish and accept to everyone else a Happy Holidays...!

Everyone's cooperation is appreciated,

Discussions aren't permitted but snarky remarks are? Ok then. Whatevs, "bros".
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
Well, I live in a big city and always get at least five new messages every day and higher during weekends but that didn't happen last Sunday (no new messages, no views). I even changed my profile pic but same result. I double checked with my backup account and I couldn't see my main profile on the main grid. I then went on Twitter and searched "grindr shadowbanned" and saw few tweets about it and did the same thing on Reddit. Grindr shadowban is apparently a thing and I think it happened to my old account so I deleted it and made a new one.

Oh by the way, the problem I mentioned in the previous comment is no longer exist. Don't know how it fixed itself but I can view the "missing fav'd profiles" again. I'm currently using 9.17.3 (118538).
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Well it's good things are working a bit better for you. Yeah that does sound like you very well could be shadow banned, unless they are having some massive problems with things server-side.

I guess I should have asked which version a bit more clearly. I wondered which version of the mod as in you show up in other's viewed me list version, or the block views version or the version that shows the profile id?
[Xposed Framework Modules] simplepinoi177:
Religious & Political

discussions "aren't permitted", remarks & opinions are (to a degree), even if they are "snarky" (again, to a degree).

If you would like it explained or discussed further, we can certainly do that in PM conversation, but this in an inappropriate place to (as it would be off-topic).

Anything further here will be removed.

Have a good one, "bros"

I just tried this workaround and it seems to not be working for me. When I log into the Grindr app it just brings me to a black screen that says Terms of Service on the top but nothing to click forward from there.
