[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Grindr changes the code around and getting the added fields back can be tricky at some times. I was honestly lost during the 9.7.0 update and Tebbe was able to get the ProfileID back, the other fields were being difficult.

I didn't even want to mess with it in the last build. Honestly I feel I've been slightly lazy lately as many of the updates are simple. I did notice that ElJaviLuki mentioned in his official update that those added fields would be disabled for now but would be back. I'm betting he needs to dig through the code more to get those working, so yes they will return in a future update. I'm glad he is back too!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
If they are spam profiles that Grindr removes, the spam profile would simply no longer show up in the grid. If you get a block notice it's because there is an interaction between your profile and the other user (the block)

Sometimes people will block someone that's viewed them to see further back in the views grid (if you're using he version that shows you in the others viewedMe list). That seems to be quite a common thing as most people don't want to pay for that or the stupid price they charge for boost, that is just outrageous how they charge so much for such a silly feature for such a short time. They honestly seem desperate for money...

I wouldn't take offense to getting blocked though, many times it's nothing personal, and likely just someone cleaning their grid up as it was mentioned...
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
It's a feature of the mod. Yes, I also get random blocks from people I never viewed or chatted with and yes, I believe that we're really being blocked. It's really strange though; I usually get blocked by people with no pics at all.

In the past, I also didn't want to know, but now I've gotten used to it. Plus - the people who block me have no pics or are no one I'm interested in.. so I'm not devastated at all hehe.

EDIT: Just noticed that Robbie already responded to you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MainPRo105:
Any Update here?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
For what exactly?
[Xposed Framework Modules] MainPRo105:
the apk
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Is there a new version out that none of us know about yet?
[Xposed Framework Modules] MainPRo105:
when i patch the app it say that the version not match
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
You have to use the same version number of the mod as the version of Grindr you have installed. For example, if you have version 9.10.1 of the app installed, then you need the mod for version 9.10.1

There is nothing to patch. You need to have a rooted phone to use this mod. If you're trying without root, it won't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] stackunderflow01:
Any chance to be able to view the rest of the albums as well? It's kinda annoying that you are only able to see the first few of them
[Xposed Framework Modules] citizenclock:
Unfortunately not. That's a feature which gets controlled by the server and not on the client side.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lucky_069:
There is! v9.11.0
[Xposed Framework Modules] MainPRo105:
can you share it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I've known about it, I've simply been a little limited on time recently, thank you for the reminder though
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Here is an update for 9.11.0

[Xposed Framework Modules] OrbitronX:
So, do these work or are those the things that are disabled?

Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] citizenclock:
Like @RobbieTechie already stated without any doubt, these are the things that are disabled an don't work with this version for now.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Antwan86:
Hi,

Thanks ElJaviLuki, RobbieTechie and all for your hard work on this project. 👏

Do you know if VirtualXposed works with this module?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I have no idea if it will work or not, I've never used VirtualXposed myself.

I do know if you have to alter the Grindr app itself, like with LSPatch and Shizuku, it will not work given that the signature of the app gets changed when patch, which will cause it to fail.

All I can say is give it a try and if it works please let people know.

MainPRo105 had mentioned about patching it and it would not work, that's because of what I just described with the signature. If people would bother to read the forum, they would know a lot of these things.

Your question about VirtualXsposed is new though, so all I can say is please give it a try and see what happens.

Edit: PLEASE DON'T GIVE IT A TRY. I read through the link you shared which mentioned it appears to have viruses in it. I downloaded the latest version and ran it through virus total and it still shows there are 15 viruses. In my opinion, even though they may be false positives, it isn't worth the risk...I would avoid VirtualXposed
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I've tried VirtualXposed years ago, not specifically for grindr but just for general xposed use. I never got it to work correctly or some other issue, so I stopped using it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] X3M4:
EDIT: the saved phrases still needs to be fixed hahaha
[Xposed Framework Modules] citizenclock:
Guys please read the information RobbieTechie attaches to each released version. He puts so much effort to get all the details right, so please show some respect and read the info before downloading.
[Xposed Framework Modules] X3M4:
Damn, my fault, missed that part hahaha i'm sorry.
[Xposed Framework Modules] pennywaltz:
sad this feature is broken. With this mod, I find it amusing to see the "this user blocks you" to clear out my chat history with them and then see the "this user unblocks you" a few days later and then person shoot their shot again. Overall i have a memory of a fish so it was helpful to remember the person again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Just because it's not functional at this time does not mean it will always not work. I am not the original author of this, but simply help to maintain updates as I have time.

The block notice is half working right now but it throws a null reference error. Basically it will notify of when you get blocked, but not when you block someone yourself. If I left it working it would be throwing errors and and I don't like to leave it that way.

I do not have the knowledge or experience that ElJaviLuki or TebbeUbben have and I would guess that having such skills, they are likely also very busy with other things. I need to study and learn more if I ever wish to get as good as they are. That being said, if this is such a huge issue for you, you are more than welcome to contribute code to fix that problem, the code is on github after all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Here is another update for 9.11.0

This update DOES NOT fix the local saved phrases, and also does not fix the block notifications in chat (they partially work but still throw a null reference error when you block, so they won't be active for now).

Everything else including keeping chats of blocked users should be working.

Grindr totally butchered the way the do experiments rather than actually improving the app, so that function has been disabled for a bit.

-Extra profile fields have been disabled for now. As ElJaviLuki stated, they will return later...

-Video calls in empty chats are still disabled here as I didn't test them, so I left them off for now

If you notice any issues other than what is mentioned above, please post them here. There is no need to private message me with questions or issues, and I would prefer they just be posted openly on here as it might help others and contribute back to the community. If you simply wish to say thanks, you can do that either way.

1st version records views, 2nd version does not
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
Hi

New to this.

The most current Grindr update no longer allows mock locations - is there any fix around this?

Thank you :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
You mean mock locations as in via Android settings/developer options?
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
No, I would use a fake location app (from the play store) which would allow me to appear anywhere in the World.

In the most recent Grindr update, they have now prevented this happening.

It's a Grindr issue rather than the location app, as I've seen discussions in which many others are faced with the same issue.

For the past month I downgraded to older versions of the app to beat this, but now Grindr won't load unless I update to the current version.

Any help to get around this would be much appreciated
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Right, those apps should be using mock locations in developer options.

In any case, I use an Xposed app called "GPS setter" which does not require mock locations. I'm still on Grindr v9.10.1 so I don't know if that Xposed app works ... but I think it should still work because it's Xposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] innit:
Did you try using this LSPosed module? https://github.com/ThePieMonster/HideMockLocation
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
Thanks.

I just installed this on your recommendation but can't activate it, and can't find anywhere to activate it, I looked in developer options but there wasn't anything I could see.

I'm very basic in knowledge when it comes to these things.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
They did seem to have map issues yesterday. When I was doing some testing, every time I changed location with the Explore feature, the app would freeze and there were errors in logcat about google maps. Perhaps they added some bugs in their latest version 😂

There is a new build out so they may have fixed something, it's build 116511 instead of 116301

I can't guarantee the mod will be fully functional, but typically with a minor upgrade such as that, the code doesn't change much in the actual app

Edit: I just loaded the newest version of the app I posted above and the google maps seems fixed. I'm not sure if that will fix your moving location issue though. Give it a try and if it does not work I can look more at the issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
Still nothing - Grindr have realised that people have been using location spoofers and literally blocked the ability to do this in their latest versions.

From your link I've managed to download an old version that seems to be working for now, until they force me to upgrade again.

In the meantime if anyone can work a solution to mock locate in the latest Grindr release, it'd be a miracle 😂

Thank you all for the help and suggestions so far!
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Did you try my suggestion? I just tested it on v9.12 and my location spoofing still works
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
First of all, you should calm down and breathe a little bit. Grindr has known for a long time that people have the ability to use mock locations. That's why they put code in there to check it.

Second, you seem to be the only one currently having issues with this, others here have not mentioned this as being an issue and have tried to help you.

Third, the code for location has not changed one bit. There are still 6 methods regarding location, and the way the code for this is written in the mod, it checks if you are on newer versions of Android as the mock location name changed in API 31 (Android 12) from 'isFromMockProvider' to 'isMock', the mod handles both

Here is from Grindr 9.10.1

and here is from 9.12.0
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but he is the only one having that issue right now and none of the location code has changed. Grindr has also had bugs in this version like I stated above with Google maps

If I missed something or messed something up somewhere, I have no problem owning up to that and admitting it. I've honestly wondered at times if Grindr sends people in here to try and mess with people, which would be extremely sad...

There are Grindr employees on here which I know for a fact, but I'm not going to call them out publicly as they're not likely behind this type of thing, that's likely their corporate monkeys.

I honestly feel like Grindr itself rushed this version to push it out and made mistakes in the process, which is why they released a minor update one day later. They likely would have done it yesterday if they caught it in time, but it literally was throwing an error involving Google Maps in Grindr and with this update it's fine again.

Maybe that affected his setup, I have not way of knowing. He could have simply missed something in his setup. There are many variables, it's really just a matter of figuring out what is the cause and making adjustments.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
Hi, yes I tried 9.12 and it wouldn't accept it, although I might be using a different fake location app to you?

I tried to download the ones suggested above by others such as the Hide Mock Location but I couldn't activate it and as my knowledge of this stuff is very basic I didn't want to risk potentially damaging my phone if I made an error.

Thank you for the suggestion thoughh and from that I've found a temporary fix
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I have a feeling that you didn't read my post (Post #412). I mentioned an xposed module called "GPS Setter." I just tried it and it still works for grindr v9.12.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
The current lowest version you can use without them forcing you to upgrade is 9.7.0, any older than that will force an update

There are currently really only three of us that work on this, but you are welcome to update the code and put in a pull request on Github if you wish to contribute fixes.

As of right now it doesn't appear that there is a solution needed here....
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
I have 3 devices and it's the same on all - I'm not kidding anyone.

I searched Reddit for some solutions where others are having similar issues (for the past month)

All I can think is that maybe you are using a different mock location app to me, although I've tried two (which used to work) and since the Grindr update, doesn't
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I would say make sure you don't have multiple version of the Grindr Plus mod running. The last update that ElJaviLuki (original auther) did, he changed the package name, which means you could have had that on and one of the others, and they will not play nice together and likely disable the entire mod, which would cause the fake location problem you are having.

I would also make sure you setup whichever fake location app you use properly and allow it in your developer options of your phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
This is the message/strap I get on the current Grindr when trying to mock
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
The other thing you could try is update to the latest version of Grindr that I posed above that fixed the maps issue. Then setup which ever mock location app you like. Then go into the app settings for Grindr and clear the cache in storage, don't clear the whole app data, just the cache. Some of the location data gets stored in cache, so perhaps that may resolve that issue. Like I stated above, I feel that Grindr rushed this version out and the app itself has issues...
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Yes, Grindr definitely rushes things as evident by minor updates one day later, or multiple builds for the same version.

Yes, sometimes I hestitate to suggest solutions here because Grindr might find a way to block it from working. If I recall correctly, my original gps spoofer (which uses mock locations) stopped working on Grindr a few months ago, which is why I found a new solution. In the past, I also mentioned an ad blocker I use for Grindr, and noticed that it no longer worked a few months ago; I found a new way though.

I don't think he was blaming you at all. We all appreciate your help in continuing to support GrindrPlus.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
That does not have the mod loaded, I can tell that based on the fact that the Store is showing up on the bottom right. That will not be there when the mod is loaded and working. Which is likely why the mock location is not working

Edit: Make sure that the mod version is the same as the Grindr version. for example if you use the latest version of Grindr 9.12.0, then use the latest version of the mod for 9.12.0, those need to match or the mod will not load
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
I did read and did try this suggestion but like the other one, I couldn't activate it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
I don't know what the mod is, this is probably too advanced for me which is why I can't follow your suggestions and people think I'm making it up, sorry if I've annoyed anyone and thank you all for trying to help
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Grindr Plus is the mod, that is the files that get uploaded here or sometimes on Github by ElJaviLuki.

Do you have your phones rooted? And do you have EdXposed or LSPosed on them to handle mods?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
After you install GPS Setter, you have to attach/link it to Grindr by opening LSPosed, click on GPS Setter to open it, and then click on the checkbox for Grindr. Then when you want to change locations, you open the app for GPS Setter (it should be in your app drawer).
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Here is the link to the post where the mod was posted for Grindr 9.12.0

https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-xposed-new-grindr-plus.4461857/post-88690711

If you want to use an older version, you'll need to go further back in the posts and find that version. 9.10.1 was fully working with all features and that can be found here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-xposed-new-grindr-plus.4461857/post-88607789

Again, make sure the version of Grindr and the mod version match
[Xposed Framework Modules] innit:
1. Install Hide Mock Location.

2. Open LSPosed -> Modules

3. Click on Hide Mock Location -> Enable module

4. Choose System framework, Grindr and any other app you want to hide mock location from.

5. Reboot.

6. Test if it works.

I've been using it for the past 2 yrs and it never failed. It's working fine on Grindr 9.10.1 but not sure about 9.12.0.
[Xposed Framework Modules] clitheroe1:
I was getting the same message which is what prompted me to root my phone and start using the Grindr Plus mod. I've never had any problems since. I use GPS Emulator from the Google Play store to spoof my location and enabled mock locations in the developer options and I haven't needed to do anything else to hide that I'm changing my location.

I thank @RobbieTechie for all his hard work on this mod and for making it available to everyone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
Using the 9.10.1 Version of your mod and I must say it is working wonderfully many thanks!

If I may ask why does the mod disable the record video button and only leave the ability to video chat?
