Love the latest version, been using it since release and no problems at all, thanks again for all the amazing work!

Some suggestions of things that would be great to add if possible:

1. add back the "exact last online time" to profiles - this used to be a feature but was lost around version 9.7.3 or so, it would be so nice to have this back (recently the BMI field was added back, so hopefully it's a similar fix?)

(1a. if the above isn't possible perhaps it could be added as a new command instead, such as typing /time in chat to get a user's last online time?)

2. a more accurate timestamp than "1 day ago" - recently the distance was made more granular (i.e. previously it would just say "1km away", now it says "1km 555m away") so I wonder if similar could be done for the time as well, so it says for example "1day 12hrs 30mins" instead of just "1 day ago"

3. stop it losing people's relative distance after 2 days - if a profile hasn't been online in the last 48 hours, they drop to the bottom of the favorites list i.e. they look like they were furthest away because they lose their distance sorting relative to other users - could the distance maybe get cached so they don't lose it after 2 days?

Huge love to everyone who works on this ❤️

Grindr recently introduced a new update that significantly disrupted the functionality of the mod (they changed almost everything). I've managed to resolve about 90% of these problems, but there's still ongoing work to fully address the latest update. I appreciate the feedback and will certainly keep it in mind as I continue working on it.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Thanks god for you and all the work and others put in to keeping this mod alive! Grindr has become virtually impossible to use without the mod, you really are doing such a valuable task here. Thank you on behalf of everyone who uses it, you are an angel
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Yes, THANK YOU for all of the work on this. Very much appreciated. I second bringing back this feature - exact time offline. I found it very useful and haven't moved to the latest mod because it was missing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Yes! I noticed today that, using the mod, my profile shows up on the grid even though it's been set to incognito. Using a friends acount, my mod profile shows up on the grid as "online" even though it's set to incognito. When clicking on the profile it then says "offline" but still appears on the grid. Also, anytime I close (force quit) and reopen the app,, it goes back to online status instead of staying incognito.
[Xposed Framework Modules] unknowndrop:
It has been stated that the incognito feature is mostly server-side and it mostly does not work. I remember @RobbieTechie saying that it depends on serverload.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Yes, Robbie has said that (thanks Robbie!) and I'm aware. Keep up the great work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Just wondering about this, what update did they introduce? I am still using 9.18.5 of Grindr with version 1.4.0 of the mod - I think both of these are the latest? I can't find a newer version of Grindr than 9.18.5, and everything is still working perfectly for me - so I wondered what this new update is you mentioned that broke things? I haven't noticed any changes, but are you saying that some things are now broken? Thanks always!
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
24.0.3, yes they skipped versions up to 24.0.3. Whoever is trying to run the show at grindr now is obviously clueless about versioning and likely other things as well. Idk what drugs they're taking in that company now but it's not helping them one bit.

I guess to match with IOS numbers)
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Ah yes that makes more sense than randomly jumping ahead 15 versions! But this is Grindr so you never know!

Today a link to this new Grindr help article appeared in my chats:

https://help.grindr.com/hc/en-us/articles/26251249200659-Upcoming-Chats-improvements-no-more-losing-your-chats

Interesting change. Not sure I like the idea that all our chats will now be stored on their servers. The article doesn't say anything about encryption or privacy and I don't trust them either. I also don't like how they say "chats from a year ago may suddenly reappear" - so it turns out they've been sneakily saving our private and explicit messages all this time!

Guess this is part of the changes they've been making that have been messing things up. I wonder what that will mean for the features of the mod that relate to chats such as preventing blocked chats being deleted. Lots more opportunity for Grindr to break more stuff! :rolleyes:
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
They jumped the iOS version ahead too, those were in the lower versions. They basically skippped a massive number of version for both, there wa no doing this to match them, they were both already around the same versions for each OS.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Yes…chat migration started last week and is slowly rolling out. Takes forever for messages to load now and message counts are off on my device.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Hamid78:

Guys, I'm facing a couple of issues with mod:

1. Unable to restore chat backup, giving an error message " Access blocked: Grindr has not completed the Google verification process".

2. Unable to see shared albums except first 5 albums.

Please help with dat. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Those aren't problems with the mod, You get the google verification error from patching the app, which isn't supported here, it was intended to be used on rooted phones, therefore your warranty for the mod is now null and void!

The chat system is also undergoing some major work by grindr right now, and google will no longer be needed to save messages. They are holding onto and keeping your chat data now (data collection anyone?!?)

For the albums that is pretty much normal. If you had the cached feature for albums you at least had to view them before they were pushed out of the free area.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
This thread is for support with the Grindr Plus mod on rooted phones, not for grindr accounts, we have nothing to do with grindr. You would have to talk to grindr about your account, and there is no need to repeat your post over and over to get a response.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Slacker Dhacker:
Thanks RobbieTechie for clarifying that the Grindr Plus mod is for rooted phones. Grindr will not install on the IPhone 6 because the IOS is unsupported. I have the Galaxy Tab S7 plus which supports Grindr but I would have to root my tablet. I'm also running Qubes OS on which I've installed WayDroid. The Grindr version 24.0.3 which you posted earlier in the thread installs easily on Vanilla WayDroid but the Facebook connection complains of an embedded web browser and the Google connection does not work.

Grindr cannot connect to the Playstore which is presumably why I had to use a terminal to install the Grindr apk. I'm not sure that rooting my tablet is worth the risk of attenuated functionality. I think I'd rather just buy a cheap Samsung phone on ebay. Still, there might be value in having an emulated android phone to test out new mods without putting the bare metal equipment at risk. I'm in no rush to exploit Grindr, but I ultimately need to do so as part of a bigger project. Any insight or suggested approaches would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
This has absolutely nothing to do with iPhones nor iOS.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Alitheia:
Anyone having issues deleting messages today? Nothing happens upon delete and ultimately the "Something went wrong" error pops up.

I was on 9.17.3 and just updated to 9.18.5 (as well as the properly updated mod) hoping that would help, but I'm getting the same issue. Cleared cache to no avail.

EDIT: I see that over the past two days or so Grindr has been rolling out an updated chats feature to now store them server-side and not locally anymore. Chat backup is allegedly going away. This must certainly have something to do with it. 🤔

It's working now. They must be playing with it today. Honestly I think messages should have always been tied to the account instead. Hopefully this doesn't affect the mod too much. Not really having any other issues at the moment.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kreizyidiot:
Any one know how to do a chat back up?

I read that you can just copy the some log folder somewhere but not sure where to start?
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I would like to ask about the possibility where you could add an option into the mod to show more profile info such as distance/age etc into the main grid.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
I wonder if anyone can help.

I have a Google Pixel 4a 5G, rooted, with LineageOS, Magisk, LSPosed and of course this mod.

This setup has worked perfectly for a year or more, through various versions of Grindr and the mod. Never any problems. Until today!

I was browsing Grindr about an hour ago and suddenly a full screen advert appeared. Weird, because the mod doesn't have adverts. There was no "x" button to dismiss the advert, so I quit the app. When I reopened it, it was the normal Grindr app as if I didn't have the mod installed.

I have tried everything to get the mod back but it just won't work. I have cleared Grindr's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, deactivated it and reactivated it in LSPosed, even disabling and re-enabling LSPosed entirely via Magisk. Rebooting the phone every time. But every time, even though the mod looks enabled, when I open Grindr, it's the un-modded app. The only thing I haven't done is uninstalled and reinstalled the main Grindr app itself because I will lose my chats.

What gives? Why is the mod not working for me any more? For the record on another phone with exactly the same setup it continues to work as before.

Any ideas? I'm at a loss!
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
To add to the above - if I have the mod enabled in LSPosed, Grindr shows my location as the location that I was teleporting to via the mod's "/teleport" terminal feature just before the mod "broke" - so obviously it's still working a little bit. Everything else about the mod is missing though, the app looks and behaves exactly like the unmodded version. If I disable the mod in LSPosed, my location reverts to my actual real location from GPS. Turning the mod back on once again reverts my location to the teleported location, but everything else about the mod is still gone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
It looks like you did everything right. Are you on v9.18.5? I'm staying on 9.18.5 and so far haven't encountered the issue you're describing.

The only thing I'd do extra is to uninstall/reinstall grindr. You can keep your chats if you back up grindr first using something like Swift Backup (my main go-to), Neo Backup (free option, though I've only used it once so you should test it on something else first), or use the in-app chat backup. I use Swift Backup to downgrade and restore grindr whenever I get a forced update.

Also, do you have a work profile app like Shelter or Island installed? I noticed that sometimes Grindr/Grplus in the work profile could cause oddities in my main profile, so make sure that grindr and grplus versions match in both profiles.

But yeah, I don't know what's causing your issue. I'm on Magisk v27.0, LSPosed v1.9.2, and crDroid OS in case you need a comparison.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Thank you, really appreciate the help. Yes, v9.18.5, with mod 1.4.0.

I tried Swift Backup. Nice app. I backed up the Grindr app including the "data" and "ext data" (not sure what the difference is, data was 8MB and ext data was 12MB). Then I cleared the app data and cache, uninstalled it and the mod, reinstalled the app fresh, reinstalled the mod, then restored data and ext data from the backup. Unfortunately that brought me back to the exact same state (i.e. the app had all my content restored, but it was still the unmodified app even with the mod turned on).

Opening a fresh install of the app and mod WITHOUT restoring from backup worked correctly with the mod functioning as expected. But of course, with none of my content. It's as if the backup ALSO backed up whatever corruption was causing the mod to not function. It must have done, because when I restored the backup, my location was STILL set to the teleported location from when the mod last worked for me. So the mod must save some files/settings within Grindr itself, which got corrupted somehow. Worth noting that when I did the restore, my location once again got set to the location I was teleported to when everything broke, so the mod definitely saves some settings as part of Grindr's own data, and somehow that feature still worked even when everything else didn't

Anyway, I'll just go ahead and use a fresh install without restoring from backup. All is working fine now. Grindr's recent "we store your chats server-side now, so you'll never lose anything again" is clearly a load of trash, because they're all gone.

Thank you for your suggestion! ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
You can still use the grindr in-app chat backup to back up and restore chats. I've used it before.

I normally backup all the data options in Swift backup (both "data" and "ext" data).

But I'm glad the issue is, at least, resolved.
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
Sorry, it's a long time I don''t use this mod.

With last version is possible use fake location?

If yes, how I have to do? Some external app?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Is your Grindr 9.18.5? There was an update recently...
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Yes, 9.18.5 with the latest mod too. I ended up just clearing the app's data entirely and since then no problems (y) but of course disappointing to lose the chats (I hadn't backed them up previously sadly, I have learned my lesson now!)
[Xposed Framework Modules] felipefgf:
*Translation of the image: It's time to update. The current version of your app will soon no longer be supported. Update by March 12th to continue using Grindr."

Hello. I'm somewhat noob using mod, I just saw like a month ago a Reddit comment on how to keep using mock location and I have been using this module with LSpatch since then working fine. Some days ago I saw this pop-up message on the app and I wonder it this version is really going to deprecate and I what can I do about it. I'm really thankful for any help and I apologize if it's not appropriate or if this question has already been answered. Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hrdc:
I have a problem in that i can't activate the GPlus mod in LSPosed. I am rooted on a Pixel 8 and have Magisk, and installed LSPosed 1.92. I have Grindr 9.18.5 and installed the GPLus 1.4.0. However i get the message that "com.grindr.plus" has been installed but not activated. (see screenshot) Going to the modules section of Magisk I see LSPosed is there, but see no way to activate any app. Is it possible I did the sequence of installing everything wrong? Thanks for any help!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
You will simply open LSPosed manager (which can be accessed from the silent notification if installed correctly), select Grindr plus, activate the module, select Grindr in the list and reboot.

Sorry that screenshot is in Japanese, but you can figure it out because the layout is the same in any language anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mygale:
I tried installing version 9.18.5 with the corresponding mod today, patched it successfully using LSPatch, but after logging in successfully to Grindr, the app says an update is required. The update is required, the app won't work/let me log in, so I can't ignore it.

I disabled auto updates in the Play store.

Is everyone running into this forced update issue or is it just some parts of the world?

Any advice on how I could still use the 9,18.5 version or do I have to wat for a new mod for version 24.0.X?
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Also received forced update message. Says update by 12 March.
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
Im still on 9.17.3.118538. No forced update notification yet.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mygale:
How is that possible? Do they enforce different dates across the globe?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Stripedew:
Been forced to update too, but even before, 9.18.5 was completely broken for me for like a week now with the mod enabled. Taps completely stopped updating past last Saturday, meanwhile on iOS (and now on 9.18.6) they all showed up. Rolling back to 9.18.5 with the mod enabled, before the forced upgrade, would again break taps.

Seems like Grindr have been completely breaking their app for many people recently, iOS seems even more broken in many ways, so I'm guessing this is all due to the devs messing everything up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] X3M4:
Hey buddies! How is going.

Finally after long time without an update, i decided to update from 9.17.3 to 9.18.5 and try. It seems to be working everything (even have completely no idea where to use the commands haha but i really dont need them) but albums doesn't load properly, it only shows "Something went wrong. Try it again".

I tried to delete caché, force stop and reboot. Even delete server-driven-cascade from shared_prefs like on other times and it doesn't work... to be honest, dont know what is happening, but till now everything was working fine on 9.17.3.

Also tried to download grindr from other sources, apkpure, apkmirror, with same result, even disabling the module it doesnt work so i believe its from grindr side.

The fun fact was after update (overwriting not clean) the albums were there, and i was able to open them but after close de app it doesnt work anymore.

Anyone is facing this issue too? cause i've read few pages back of the thread and didn't read anyone else facing that issue.

Kind regards and thank you so so much for the efforts and works!!

Gracias!!!

Forgot everything LOL something happened and now everything is working fine. Thats crazy!

Thank you for your hard work buddies!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I'll be working on a GrindrPlus update soon.
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
I've no idea. Maybe it will catch-up on me in a few days or weeks after. We'll see.
[Xposed Framework Modules] toddhow:
Do you have an feature updates planned?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
New Release: GrindrPlus v2.1.0 (24.0.8)

Fixes

- Added support for latest Grindr version (24.0.8).

Notes

- Due to recent updates by Grindr regarding the messaging system, certain features of the mod are not stable at all.

- The output of all the chat commands will appear as if you had sent the command (before it was the other way around).

- The output of all the chat commands be deleted when you close and open the chat (I'm still looking for a fix).

- The 'You have been blocked/unblocked' feature doesn't work anymore (I'm still looking for a fix).
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
thank you for a new release @Rortiz2 once again 😍

i tried installing it and got the same issue (`com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: duplicate key`) as last time (before you uploaded a patch) so not sure what might be going on or if i should reinstall the app or something

let me know if i can somehow help :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Try with this one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
the hook worked with this one! thank you ⚡
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
You might want to run /clear to clear the gson cache. That should fix the crash and you should be able to open the normal version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
how should I do that? I tried doing a delete cache from Grindr but that didn't work :/
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Open a chat and type /clear. It's a built-in command, which is part of the mod.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
oh, i see! sorry i must have missed that command

anyhow i tried and:

if i use the debug build -> the command runs but once i update to the regular mod it gets the json error

if i use the regular mod -> the main hook is not loaded so the command doesn't run

🤔
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
I’ve read latest and updated from market 😅 but there is 24.1.0 already so need to get apk from outside.

+Expired photos can’t be opened more that once.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MstfaZahr:
Thank you so much for the update ❤️

I really hope you can find a way to solve these issues. I immediately noticed that I can no longer open expired photos. Chats now being server sided broke so many things.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated. I will try to fix the expired photos thing. I'm also going to update to 24.1.0, I didn't realize there was a newer version.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Another enormous thank you for your work on this Rortiz2 (and Robbie and Tebbe and Javi and everyone else), I am staying with 9.18.5 until it no longer functions because I enjoy how stable it is, but I am so grateful to know that there will be a newer version when 9.18.5 gets the forced update ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
OK, is it just on my end, or are taps broken for a while now on 9.17.3 for mod v1.2.7?

I'm asking because I am still on version of the app and the mod i mentioned above, and I also have the app+mod installed on my Island space (work profile). I tried sending a tap from mainland to island and vice-versa and the taps didn't go thru. Messages and unsend do go thru. Its just the taps that won't. Has this been like this before and I just learned of it now?

edit:

Oh, so taps are broken too on 9.18.

[MOD][XPOSED] Grindr Plus

Grindr Plus - Extend the limits of Grindr! I am pleased to present Grindr Plus, a mod for Grindr that adds new features to the popular dating app! Precedents A similar mod already exists...

xdaforums.com
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
A casual observation about Grindr itself (not about this mod), I'm more and more disgusted by some of their awful practices, the latest example is in the last few days I've started getting notifications in my notification shade pull down advertising Grindr Xtra offers, even though I have notifications all turned off and "do not disturb" turned on within Grindr's settings:

Really really awful behaviour from Grindr. Not just to not respect a user's notification preferences by pushing through notifications anyway, but even more worrying, lots of people use Grindr secretly for whatever reason, so this could cause lots of problems for so many people especially people who may be around friends or family when the notification pops up, or people who live in countries were being gay is illegal. Shocked that they think this is okay.
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
Will the chat disappear if someone blocked me? Thanks for the update.
