Thanks always Rortiz2 and others!

I thought it may be useful to collate a list of everyone's bug reports and feature requests in one place because they get lost across different pages.

show real "last online" timestamp (this was shown as an extra field on the profile (like the new BMI field) until a few versions ago when it disappeared - if it's not possible to add this back, may be it could be added to the new "hidden profile details" pop up?

fix the "online now" indicator to show "3 minutes ago" again, instead of staying as "online now" for 10 minutes

fix the jumping of the inbox back to the top when pressing back from a chat

ability to export photos (for example by long pressing) to save to local directory (either profile pics or pics received in chat/albums)

remove pop ups (random subscription pop ups and banners during use such as "boost your profile!" or "it's our busiest time of day!" or "try this new feature!")

ability to retain blocked chats and a message when a block or unblock occurs from either side

ability to open blocked users' profiles by tapping them in the blocked list (it's already possible to open blocked profiles via the /open command, but only if you already know their profile ID, so it would be great if this feature could be incorporated directly in to the block list)

more accurate times in inbox (i.e. show "14/05/2024 at 19:33" next to each chat or tap, instead of showing just "Tuesday")

more accurate times on profiles (i.e. "1 day 10 hrs 43 mins ago" instead of just "1 day ago", the same as what was done with the distance recently i.e. 1km 550m instead of just 1km)

block multiple users at once (when selecting multiple chats/taps you can currently only "delete all" not "block all")

Finally one new request which hasn't been mentioned before: is there any way to indicate if someone is using the mod or not, and similarly, any way to know if someone is using iPhone or Android or Grindr Web? Perhaps a different symbol in the corner of each profile indicating this?

Sorry that looks a lot, but hopefully it is useful to have it all in one place and sorry if I forgot anyone's requests! And please remember these are just requests of things that would be nice to have, and not demands! ❤️

Feat request: ethnicity filter as an option
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
big divide on this feature being okay or not

i will say its insane how much attention the feature req has on grindr's user voice as it has the 2nd most amount of votes

Please restore ethnicity filter

I am Asian, and I would like to have the ethnicity filter option back. As a "minority", I don't think the filter option is racist. It offers me choices. Sometimes I want to search for Asians for example,, and if there is this option, it will make my search much easier to find.

grindr.uservoice.com
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Awesome, any chance of the option to keep chats from blocked profile
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
I'd be cautious about 11 - the mod is open source and gifting the grindr app devs a way to accurately detect the mod sounds like it could be pretty self-destructive to mod users...

Thanks for drawing the requests together though. Deffo on the page they're requests not demands! I'm always grateful those like Rortiz2, ElJaviLuki, RobbieTechie choose to share their expertise with us at all! ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
That's a good point, ok, scrap the bit about indicating if someone is using the mod! With proper consideration I agree it's a bad idea!

The other part of #11 still stands though about indicating if someone is using an iPhone or an Android. I don't know if there's any hidden data Grindr processes that the mod could intercept to indicate this. It would be useful because if someone is using an iPhone, they will only show as "online now" if they refresh the main grid - otherwise they could be in the app for hours, actively using it, scrolling and tapping and chatting, and their last online time won't change. Even reopening the app from the background after switching between other apps doesn't trigger an update to their online status. So knowing if someone is using an iPhone would also let you know that their online status can't be relied on - unlike with Android where merely having Grindr open will update your online status every few minutes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RevX82:
And gender
[Xposed Framework Modules] lightdd:
Also, the ability to see icongnito people on the grid. I remember, years ago, i had a bug where i could see couple of offline accounts i never seen before on the grid but it went away when i relaunched the app, so i believe it can be possible to reproduce
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
On the other hand, there are people who do not want to be seen here. So, it is conflicting to have both the functions in a mod...
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I do understand Grindr's decision not to have such a filter in their app, but I wonder if we need to care about such political correctness here... At least, it's not illegal...
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I'm looking forward to trying the new version of the mod. I'm sure you're tired of keeping up with this craze of constant frequent updates.

I wonder if it is possible to get rid of the yellow "boost me" icon or the full screen pop up "boost me" ad? It doesn't seem many people use the function, and I don't understand why they push it to everybody so often...
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
Those three, and let's not forget Tebbe. ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
There is also one interesting feature I'd like to add to the bucket list if others agree with me?

A function that automatically removed shared album if the other person revoked theirs?

Who agrees with me that it would be quite handy
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
now this is a really bomb idea
[Xposed Framework Modules] chonnamae:
Is this happening to you? The photos in the album not showing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sxoron:
I'm having same issue
[Xposed Framework Modules] pat_pasin:
I've been using the patched version for a while now and it's been great, just wanna know if anyone else has the same issue where they can't log in using Google account?
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Same here also but it seems Grindr have acknowledged it is an issue, I got this pop up a moment ago:
[Xposed Framework Modules] baco_852:
A feature that I'd love would be if the app stopped insisting on me turning on notifications. Like, I said I don't want them, stop showing me a pop up every damn time I open the app hahaha but I'd also like to join the ethnicity filter back and showing just the albums that we actually have access to :~
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ade1992:
Grindr can detect if you have the mod in the case you respond to someone that bloqued you. I think that's quite easy to detect since you are not supposed to talk to someone that blocked you since the discussion disappears without the mod.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ade1992:
Be careful with number 5 "ability to retain blocked chats and a message when a block or unblock occurs from either side". You should now mention also not to respond anymore as it may result in a ban !
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
That constant prompt to turn on notifications is very annoying indeed! But I found a way to disable it - just accept the prompt and turn on notifications for the whole Grindr app, but then go in to the Grindr notification settings and disable the individual notification toggles for chats, taps, calls, etc. You can turn them all off individually without the app prompting you again.

For added measure I also like to set the "do not disturb" setting within Grindr to "on until I turn it off" - I don't know what exactly it means but I haven't had any bother since doing this!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I doubt it.

I think most of the functions that the mod offers here are unblocking/bypassing data controls on the app side. For example, I guess Grindr app detects use of mock GPS app and shows an error message. The mod bypasses this detecting code inside of the app so that we can use mock GPS app. Grindr server cannot tell whether we bypass the code on our side or not.

In other words, we appear as a normal user in the eye of Grindr server.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
There are definite glitches with the new chat system since they moved to storing chats server-side instead of on your device.

I've just gone to message a guy who I last spoke to 3 months ago - my inbox is empty (because I regularly delete all my chats to clear everything out) but when I tap the chat button on his profile, our past conversation comes up, even though it's not in my inbox! It also can't be from a local cache because I've got a new phone since then. The only explanation is that Grindr is storing chats on their servers even if you delete them. It's just another example of this company's shady tactics and dodgy practices when it comes to safety and security of data!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I noticed that even before Grindr rolled out the server-based chat system to mobile phones because I saw all the chats I had deleted on my phone when I logged in the web-based Grindr beta provided for Xtra users. I thought like, "Oh, they keep all the chats still on their server..."
[Xposed Framework Modules] RevX82:
Or at least have then at the end with a lock icon again. Because if you want to revisit them you could force unshare recent albums to move them up
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ade1992:
I have no idea why people are debating this fact.

I RESPONDED TO USERS THAT BLOQUED ME AND I WAS BANNED VERY QUICLY. IT SAID AUTOMATIC BAN AND ADMIN REFUSED TO REMOVE THE BAN WICH IS SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPEND BEFORE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN BARELY 2 MONTH AND THEY BANNED ANY ACCOUNT RELATED TO MY PHONE ID AND PHONE NUMBER TOO.

So stop arguing about that and just take it as fact. They found a way to detect weird behaviour in the case you would answer to someone that bloqued you. They don't detect the mod as it is but they detect unexpeted behaviour. Just like using fake gps on areas you are not supposed to go.

I'm posting it because i believe it is something users should have in mind to avoid it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Honestly, I don't see any connections to your sad banned story with this mod in a technical way...
[Xposed Framework Modules] RevX82:
Before this mod, I had triggers in my SQLite database preventing chat deletions which meant blocks didn't do anything to my side. But if I replied to a blocked person I'd get an error about "profile not a available". For years I've had this and never gotten a ban
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ade1992:
In my case i could continue chatting with people who bloqued me as long as i did not delete the chat. That was by the way really funny to see how very disrespectflul people felt so powerless because i would not go away !

That's probably why i would get banned if i'm one of the rare people who could do that. I was using Xposed 89 but since the last update i had to upgrade to 93 and don't get the chats retained anymore. I don't know if it is not working at this time on the current mod.
[Xposed Framework Modules] KristianKenneth:
Any way we can bypass the ban without wiping the phone please. 😭
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
They reported you my friend

Is it so hard to understand?
[Xposed Framework Modules] MintMori:
Is it possible to add a feature to find users with linked social media? e.g filter by people who have a linked Twitter?
[Xposed Framework Modules] gabriielmarinhoo:
I can't install the patched Grindr APK, pls help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ade1992:
If that was the case, it would have happened one year ago when the feature was implemented ; AND the banned page would not display "automatic ban". If someone reports you and an admin confirms the ban, this is manual and not automatic by definition.

For instance, few years ago when i was using fake gps in the middle of the atlantic ocean, i got banned immediatly.

If send too many messages to different users in a short time, i get banned automatically for spam. I know that because they told me while removing the ban after verifications.

So grindr has ways to detect automatically unwanted behaviour. Why is it so hard for you to understand that ?! Why would it be so unthinkable for you that grindr could have implemented a simple detection in some cases like responded to a user that bloqued you ? And we are not talking about a regular ban like when you insult someone, they really red flag all your IDs (phone ID, email and phone number) and refuses to remove the ban for users security reasons without any other detail. So they know in that case that i'm using the mod and they want to severely punish me for that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RevX82:
I'm not seeing this easy, the client syncs the chats server side. Any messages from before the changeover, or whatever the server deems as deleted, are removed from your chats. The restored messages pop up for a few seconds then disappear... This needs to be disabled somehow
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Thanks and it's just something that was available in one of the older ones and it was so nice, 😀
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
i spoof myself to the middle of the ocean a lot to avoid random messages and dont get banned for that

i also tried to message a blocked user whose chat still showed and didnt get banned for that either

you must be getting banned for other questionable behaviors
[Xposed Framework Modules] RevX82:
I do this too 🤭 plausible deniability "I'm too far to meet" when I just want to catch up on chats
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rinkarious:
Android faker pro use that they blocked your GSF or if you have a xiaomi phone dual app and create a new profile
[Xposed Framework Modules] leoleo12321:
Hey guys,

First i want to really thanks EljaviLuki for create this tool and R0rt1z2 for maintaining it.

I got a new phone with Xiaomi HyperOS (Android 14) and I can't patch with Lspatch anymore...it actually patches it successfully without complications. but when i open grindr it's unpatched.

Tried to patch the same 24.4.1 apk + GrindrPlus 3.1.2 in a MIUI (Android 12) phone and it works flawlessly. Even tried to transfer this patched Lspatch apk to install it in the android 14 phone but without success. There's a workaround to solve this? Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
It's been discussed. Just patch the app to allow the mod to run with LSPatch locally, not to integrate the mod into the app. Someone has written a step by step guide a few pages back.
[Xposed Framework Modules] leoleo12321:
THANK YOU! Tried this method here and worked flawlessly!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] BtoanA:
I've been a big fan for a year. Thank you guys so much for the continuous work.

Just a quick thought in mind, would we be able to have a feature for us to revoke our album to *all* previous shared people ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
It isn't one click, but Inbox > Albums > My Albums > the album you want to change the sharing for > Click through the 'Shared With' button and you can multiply select and unshare from there. You don't need to go into each specific chat and unshare from there one by one.

Certainly in 100% agreement that the devs are brilliant and very generous to share their efforts with us all!
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
How about new version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
As soon as possible. All our team ( 1 guy who is spending his free time for this community) are working on it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
This isn't a very helpful or appreciative comment! The current version still works well, and I'm sure we will get a new version when the devs have the time and energy and motivation to work on it further to fix any little bugs, but for now we should be grateful we have a working, stable, brilliant mod at all. Bear in mind they do this entirely out of goodwill, so demanding a new version just for the sake of it is only going to make them feel unappreciated.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Casting negative implications about the devs' motivations certainly isn't helpful. Everyone, devs too, have their own lives and priorities. If and when an update is made, express your appreciation for their generosity! I'm certainly very glad to have helped with testing some rapid releases when the chat bug was happening.

For now the current mod works well with the corresponding version of the app.

But really - look in the mirror. What exactly are you trying to achieve by whining? If you don't like what and how and when the devs freely share their time and skill, learn to do it yourself. This thread has plenty of earlier posts on how to contribute / get started with modding.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Don't worry, I've already reported and blocked him. I tried to ignore his useless comments before, but this is beyond my tolerance.

I never asked for donations, and I made that very clear in a previous post. I'm about to finish college, which means I have a ton of work to do. I've also started a new job, so yes, I've been very busy lately. I will provide a new update whenever I get some free time, I have a life (unlike you - yonaaas -, looks like).

I don't even use Grindr. I rewrote (and maintain) this mod for the benefit of others and because I enjoyed helping other people getting rid of Grindr's stupid limitations. Get yourself some respect towards the developers and stop posting non-constructive bull****.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Honestly, it cannot be helped. XDA was only for mobile geeks like me before (I don't think many people here even know why it's called XDA), but everybody uses a smartphone nowadays, and many come here through Google search without knowing Magisk or LSPosed...

That said, it is always nice to have people like you to remind newbies of the manners here.

Cheers
[Xposed Framework Modules] Stripedew:
My man thinks a Grindr mod that can barely get a dozen people bothered enough to press 'like' on a new release as a thank you, had the guy receiving 'thousands' in donations. Same brain capacity as faceless profiles asking for face pics, I guess.

i was not asking newer version from the R0rt1z2

he will offer it when he can if he can

i was asking if there is another version from another developer which is updated to a newer version

I think is a project that is supported by more than one developers
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ck-Boy:
Hi, everyone.

First of all, thanks to all of you who have made this possible.

I would like to ask you if there is a way to keep the offline/incognito mode on all the time. In my case, after a few minutes it goes back to "online". Thnx
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
The short answer is no as it is reset server side unless you actually subscribe.

Use the search button to look back in this thread for incognito to see the info from the devs last time it came up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] edoble:
Is there a way to install this mod on a non rooted android phone?

If yes, can someone post the steps how to install it without root?

Greatly appreciated.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
https://github.com/R0rt1z2/GrindrPlus and read the bit about lspatch (not recommended)
[Xposed Framework Modules] edoble:
Why is not recommended? The guide also says not recommended but doesn't say why.

Also within grindr how can I backup my chats to restore them on grindr plus?

I have a new Grindr version than grindr plus so I need to downgrade my grindr but if I do that I'll lose all of my chat history.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Search this thread for lspatch for the devs discussion about the pitfalls. From memory mostly around goggle linked functions not working.

Equally plenty of posts earlier about downgrading.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CherryThePop:
Hey, newbie here!

Recently I discovered this mod, however I'm not a tech person in the slightest, and I'm really confused with terms and how to install it.

Is there a post that talks about how to do it? I'm seeing the great work the administrators and I wanna try it :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Post in thread '[MOD][XPOSED] Grindr Plus' https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-xposed-grindr-plus.4461857/post-89142426

Also see one of the devs' site on github for instructions. https://github.com/R0rt1z2/GrindrPlus

Do note that installing lsposed/magisk is complex and out of scope of this thread on the mod.

If you do go down this route, do take backups, use a spare phone to practice with, at your own risk, learn about the downsides of rooting your device, etc etc.

Good luck!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I've been working on the latest update and have implemented major compatibility fixes with the newest version. Currently, I'm investigating an issue with proxies that has been affecting the "hide my views" feature and the local saved phrases feature. I'll continue working on this tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience, and I apologize for the delay in releasing an update.​

[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Thanks for the update.

I saw failure to install the newer mod apk until I removed the previous one in lsposed first.

Other than that, looks to be working well with the current app after ensuring the updated mod was enabled in lsposed. 👍
[Xposed Framework Modules] akaloith:
congrats and thanks for the latest update

havent tested it thorougly but seems very powerfull

keep up the amazing work
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I forgot to mention, Google login with LSPatch should be fixed now as well.
[Xposed Framework Modules] whitehollow:
After the update I see users without green dot market as online

Sent from SM-S908B using ReLabs
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
That has nothing to do with the latest update. If you had kept track of the thread, you would have seen that @alive505 mentioned something similar a few pages ago. I haven't checked what the issue is, but I'm 90% sure it's unrelated to the mod. Even if it is, it's not on my priority list right now.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] daveo76:
I had a look at this 2 months ago. It looked hard to do. Until now I learnt about Shizuku and LSpatch for non rooted phones. I managed to get GrindrPlus v3.1.3 working on Android 14. Thanks so much to the developer for this
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
Finally, an update! Thanks!

Saved teleport locations gone missing tho.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
I didn't have my saved locations go missing, so that's curious.

Are you using lsposed or lspatch?

Did you uninstall and reinstall the app?

Did you uninstall and reinstall the mod? (if using lsposed)

What I did that didn't lose the saved locations was uninstalled the mod from lsposed, upgraded the app in the play store to 24.7.0, installed and enabled the mod in lsposed. Rebooted.
