[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
US Samsung phones right out of the box are not typically OEM unlockable. International versions could be used in the US and there are some people that have made mods for the international versions to use them in the US on the carries there with pretty much full functionality for the modems/prism inside the phone etc.

Normally an international version won't get the full mmWave there, which isn't a huge deal because you normally have to be within visible range of those towers from what I've understood and typically you won't have the absolute fastest 5G speeds (mmWave) at home, but you can still get 5G, just not mmWave.

Some have said normally it's only 4g, which isn't really a big deal in my opinion but I guess it bothers some people that they can still get a data connection 🤣
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
Thank you so much for such great response. I am looking into rooting it atm. So it should be done and I also have a S21 which is possible too. Thanks.

After following the steps outlined by you, I can confirm that they OEM unlocking is posible, I can see the toggle and as soon as I switch it ON ot prompts for the password.

The next step is to get it rooted. I will keep reading but I am thankful with your so accurate and positive response. Thanks @RobbieTechie
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
A very thoughtful answer. Thanks and as you said this wouldn't bother me at all. What bothers me is grindr not letting me hide from people near me! Haha

Any other solutions how to be able to use a fake location?" Ha ha literally unable to sleep and use app ha
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
If you're trying to hide from people near you I would suggest signing up for grindr unlimited then you could always appear as offline, but that really defeats the purpose of a social app.

I'm not sure of any other solutions, other users have brought some app suggestions up that seem to work, but to be able to control the grindr app for moving your location, you would need to root your device. Even if you didn't use this mod, you could make the whole phone think that the mock location is not active and it should let you change location then using whichever location app you wish to use.

I don't believe anyone could sleep and use the app at the same time unless they're doing so in their sleep...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rulho07:
Hello. Like many others I am suffering from the problem of grindr prohibiting mock location. I have looked for a solution everywhere without success and since my English is not very good it is not clear to me if with the latest updates what they have shared here you can continue using the fake GPS. If so to try to root my phone and everything else. I lose nothing by trying. Thank you
[Xposed Framework Modules] ksbnet:
So is it just me or has anyone else went to log on and realize you were banned? I had numerous profiles also, have for years, and each one seems to have been banned. I don't know if this is in result of me using the mod or not yet. I don't believe to have done anything to even be banned. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I will update as I learn more.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
How do you tell if you're banned?

I did have a series of issues in the past few days logging in or refreshing the grid, but I waited a bit and it resolved itself.

It's working fine for me even with the mod. I'm on v9.12 though
[Xposed Framework Modules] ksbnet:
When I log in to any of my profiles it says this account has been banned. I don't know what I would have done to be banned, because I only use grinder really just to check someone out LOL and really that's it. I was able to make a new account though and login with it but my old ones I can not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
hehe that's a definite ban. Did you use an obviously fake picture?
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
This always annoys me because it doesn't give you an actual reason of which you can appeal against, could be anything from double accounts, reported as fake, dodgy words on profile, etc. Even worse if you had paid & was still under subscription!
[Xposed Framework Modules] mazen712:
If I root my device and install this I will be able to use fake location without mock location are prohibited or no ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mazen712:
Did you try it ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rulho07:
No, not yet. I'm still waiting for someone to answer my question before I try.

The only function that interests me is to be able to use false location, but I do not know if that is solved in the updates that have left here lately.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mazen712:
Yeah me too I don't want to root my device for nothing and I only interested in using fake location only

I used grindr 9.7 V which allow using mock location but it's now asking for update
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
This has been discussed before but yes, I can still fake my location and I'm on v9.12.

You have to hide mock locations using this Xposed mod: (https://github.com/ThePieMonster/HideMockLocation/releases).

I use a different method but I just tested HideMockLocation and it still works.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JWX4:
Im in the same boat, only want to fake locate.

I tried to root, spent hours, but I'm not so technically minded and just couldn't get it working or understand it really - I didn't want to go too far & damage my phone so I gave up.

Is there an idiots/beginners basic guide to root just for using the mock locator?
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
YouTube is a great way to start. After your phone is rooted, download and flash lsposed zygisk file using the magisk manager. Reboot and install the mock location app. Enable it in lsposed app menu and if it asking you to pick an app, select Grindr. That's it. Now you can fake your location with your favourite gps emulator app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
You can find the xda forum specifically for your phone. They usually have guides on how to root, if it exists. And if you still don't understand, you can ask more questions.

I was trying to help you some time ago but you never told me that you didn't understand (until I asked you repeatedly) and you never asked any questions. I want to help, but it makes it difficult to help you when you don't tell me where you're stuck or give any feedback.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
This is the most bizarre thing that'd has happened to me lately. I had and been using grindr today (and oh well I decided to create a new account and pay for the unlimited version)

Well, everything seemed fine. I created the account provided email and then phone number. Straight away a messaged flashed saying "error" unable to create account. After that... Itried a different email and the same thing happened.

Well, finlaly I decided to try a different phone ( the one i orovided for getting the confirmation number) and use the Google play store which is working but now in both phones when trying to download the app it says "app isn't available"?

Any idea why? Was it because I was using a version downloaded from the net and not the one form Google play? Any ideas??
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Some apps are hidden from the play store if your phone isn't compatible or you're in a restricted region. Doesn't sound like any of those would apply to you though. (For example, are you using a custom ROM that fakes the phone model?)

You may be able to find the grindr app download page in Google play from a desktop or mobile browser (instead of searching for it from the play store app). There it should tell you unavailable to download due to ...

The fact that you downloaded grindr from the Internet... I doubt that's the reason for your issue. I've downloaded grindr and other apps from apkmirror and never had an issue finding it again in the play store.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
I am using a very recent model and no I'm not jn a restricted country but this came after I was playing with the VPN and so. I juts found it bizarre and strange that it happened pretty much at the same time in both phones that have no link to each other.... strange . I will have a look at it. But no clue why ;( maybe cuz I tried to create and tried submitting my sign up several times... oh god
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Are you using a VPN ad blocker? I've had problems with grindr and VPN ad blockers.

If it's a real VPN, it could be pointing you to another part of the world or grindr simply blocks VPNs for registration. I've used VPNs where, eg I'm connected to 'Seattle VPN', but when I look up my IP, it shows that in in Austria.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
No no ad blockers...

I actually simply tried hola and nord VPN today but I uninstall them! And I only tried on one and both phones were not connected to same network or anything... so that'd the akward part. (Perhaps grindr block my ip and the phone number but certainly thta couldn't be done) I messaged them and see what happens.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thomasf1:
Thanks for that :)

There are a few things not working right now:

When clicking on a locked album it gets the "restart the app to activate your subscription" window. The same happens with when clicking on a profile after searching by tag (after clicking on a hashtag in a profile).
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Thank you for sharing that you found this. As far as the locked albums, those have been that way and likely will stay that way as the access to albums is more or less controlled server side.

As far as the tag searches, it appears some of the upsells are still being pushed there and that will have to be looked into for a fix.

Thank you for bringing these mod issues up as most conversations lately on here have been talking about things not even related to the mod or that have already been answered multiple times. Many of the questions they had/have would have been answered by reading the very first post rather than someone having to tell them.

I say this more and more lately, but many people seem to not want to read and just want things to be handed to them. If I had mod access I would go through and clean some of the recent posts up and point newer people to the very first page that lists the features that the original author shared there.

I will look into the tag issue more, I'm sure one of us that contribute to this mod will get it sorted out, I do know that Tebbe has stated he is extremely busy as of late but one never knows.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xk3v1lx:
I love this update so so much

Everythings is OK like a charm

Big thanks to @RobbieTechie

He is very nice for supporting us

❤️🥰 Love Him
[Xposed Framework Modules] k.routley:
Hey, out of curiosity...

I had a guy say he couldn't get read receipts when talking to me, even though I had read it. All it said was 'sent' and not even delivered. I'm using the not record views version, is this part of the mod?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Indeed that is one of the features of the mod, when everything is working, the mod will do the following by default...the only exception is the different versions posted to record or not record views

Here is a list that Tebbe previously shared of features with slight updates:

"This is the current list of working features:

Mock locations allowed

Unlimited profiles

Explore mode unlocked

Mark profiles that you have chatted with recently

See "Read" and "Typing..." indicators of others (if not using this mod)

Others won't see your "Read" and "Typing..." indicators

Screenshots in albums and expiring photos

Expiring photos don't expire <== (Currently disabled, EljaviLuki said it will return later)

Profile ID shown in profile <== (Currently disabled, EljaviLuki said it will return later)

Make video calls without having chatted before

Duration of online indicator reduced to 3 minutes

Send taps as often as you want

You won't appear in other's viewed me list.

Retract chat messages (at any time)

Translate chat messages

Saved phrases (stored locally on your phone, no backup!)

Analytics disabled (improved privacy)

Layout with 3 columns for favorites

Old chat messages will not be deleted automatically

Conversations of profiles that have blocked you or have been blocked by you will not be deleted

Blocks/Unblocks will be logged in chat"

I tried to install the hide mock loc. I always get a parsed error . I have LSPOSED installed. Im on rooted samsung tab running Android 9
[Xposed Framework Modules] arko7123:
it's only for android 11 and higher

try and older version attached to this thread

1.2 or 1.3 should be working fine
[Xposed Framework Modules] zakk24!:
Thank you so much, that worked ! Greatly appreciated
[Xposed Framework Modules] WildCamellia:
Hey thank you sooo much for all of the work in this. It’s truly incredible. A coupe of things may be bugs:

1) Favorites online only displays 10-15 favorites then stops.

2) Favorites online also displays them out of geographic order.

3) when showing favorites, there’s a momentary “Can’t Refresh” message…then it shows them.

Minor things but for what it’s worth. Great job and very much appreciated.

Android 13/Grindr 9.13/Mod for 9.13
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
-edited due to user error 😂
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
You're welcome.

When you say favorites online, I'm guessing your mean when you go to the favorites tab and filter for the online profiles yes? I just tested that with a friends phone since he has a ton of favorites and I looked at the API traffic between the app and the server. It fetched over 40 profiles in total but only displayed 12 of them in the app. Basically that mean grindr has bugs in it. HEY GRINDR FIX YOUR APP INSTEAD OF PLAYING WITH EXPERIMENTS.

As far as the out of order part, grindr does the geolocation sorting by a user's distance even if that distance is not displayed to the app it still gets processed on the back end. Basically meaning that they have more screwed up code likely on the server.

They have had numerous bugs in this version. Someone even brought up that the sound notifications appear to not work when someone messages you, and I believe he is correct. The sound files are still in the app but they likely rushed through this version and left it full of bugs.

I've only seen the can't refresh alert show up once, but that too is likely a server/app code issue...
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Here is an update for version 9.14.0 of Grindr.

In this version taps seem to be having an issue when using multiple taps so I disabled that for now, and some of the analytics in the app were still running. Also the extra profile fields are not back yet, as ElJaviLuki stated they will return later. Some of the flags/experiments that Tebbe enabled such as the profile redesign are not currently working. I did not see an error there so I'll have to look into the cause for that more. It would be nice if they simply added a switch in Settings to enable or disable that feature of the different profile look.

If you have not been pushed the app yet and want it, you can get it from APK Mirror here:

This is only an update to their code to make it work for the current version 9.14.0 of Grindr

The first version will record when you view someone's profile, the 2nd version will not.

I hope everyone is well !!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
Thanks for the 9.14 update RobbieTechie

Am i going to miss out on any features upgrading from the 9.10.1 version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
No you won't miss out on anything, any significant changes lately came in version 9.12.0 when Tebbe enabled feature flags that showed some of Grindr's experiments, one of which is a resigned look of the profiles.

There are things I like about it and things I don't. There are also some bugs in that version. The sound notification didn't seem to play when you get a message. That's not a huge issue, but it just shows that grindr didn't bother to check their own app before release. I would say, if you feel unsure about it, then just wait to upgrade.

I've somewhat thought about not doing an update every time a new version comes out as it's not really necessary to update the app every time a new version is pushed out and people could shut off automatic updates and choose if they want to download an update rather than get every single new version the minute it comes out.... I've been a bit more busy this time of year and don't always have the time to dig through things in depth. I've also been doing some learning and studying on the side to learn more when I have time...
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
perhaps we can have a pastebin or github page updated with a full changelog for releases

much appreciated for all the work
[Xposed Framework Modules] droidkeyboardfan12:
what is the likelihood of grindr detecting this mod on their side and shutting down an account. The geolocation one seems to be a common issue but wouldnt it eventually notice you are pulling down a lot of user data that it doesn't expect?
[Xposed Framework Modules] daekdroom:
I've been running xposed mods on Grindr for years and haven't had any problems, but I try not to change my spoofedblocation all the time due to fearing detection.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I must say this is great after I wasn't able to use mock location but now 9.12 works. I tried 9.13 and that didn't work. I'm not sure if I have Grindr selected in the module or not. I didn't on 9.13 and did on 9.12. I'm just to lazy to update and try again when this one is working. If that's all I have to do then I'll go to 9.14.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
The updates don't really change from update to update, and if something gets added or doesn't work it's easy to just mention that here. Most people that come here are not going to want to bounce around from site to site to check things out or get an update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
What user data are you referring to? When you scroll down you still pull profiles from their server whether you have the mod or not...many of the ad sites they use could be blocked by dns or even in your wifi router if you regularly use that to connect your phone or tablet and know which sites to block. Even when you block ads, some of the ad datastill gets exchanged behind the scenes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
You're fine staying on 9.12.0 for now. Grindr sends out updates usually a couple times a month, but those updates are not forced. Some people just feel they have to have the latest thing but that's not really needed with Grindr unless they actually fix some of their own issues. Grindr typically only forces an update ater a certain version is a certain number of days or weeks old and they want everyone to be up to date to a point. Other than that you could stay on 9.12.0 for likly a few months and be fine. You won't miss out on anything.
[Xposed Framework Modules] droidkeyboardfan12:
well i got a pop up saying something like your premium subscription has not been activated. Please restart the app to enable premium. I have never signed up for premium
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Where were you in the app when this happened? That can happen in areas such as albums if you try to click on a locked ones as access is somewhat controlled server side for those. I know some people have mentioned if they have more than three albums that will happen. Others have mentioned more than five albums and that will happen,

The only other time I've noticed that in the most recent update was when trying to double click on a profile that was extremely far down the grid. The double tap allows you to do directly to chatting with them. If I clicked on those profiles once I could then go into the chat without any issues, if I double tapped quickly that pop up you described would come up.

My point though, is that you are not pulling any more data than normal, which was what your post was about. You can scroll down the grid even to the Unlimited section in the free app, you just cannot access those areas normally yet you still pull that same data even on the free version of the app. Basically that was Grindr's form of throwing more profiles in your face in an attempt to get more people to sign up for more, yet the app is so horrible with ads many users have got extremely turned off by it now and stopped using it. At least around some areas I'm near.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
Hello guys once more I need ur help.

I got an older phone motog4 plus and now it has been unlocked and now it has magisk... I appreciate your help

I wanna download the grindr versión and the mock location app that will allow me to move frely

But jow I dotn know where to start.

Phone rooted done

Magisk installed done

Now what is the next step? Download xposed? And them grindr? What versión and is it necessary that I update the pjone to a later versión? Regards
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Do you know which version of Android that phone has and which version of Magisk you have installed? The next step would be to install LSPosed, which can be found on Github https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed

Then download Grindr and the matching mod posted on here. I would say version 9.12.0 would be the most feature rich version right now that is fully working with all features.

The Grindr APK can be downloaded from here, look for a big button that says Download APK

Grindr - Gay chat 9.12.0 (nodpi) (Android 6.0+) APK Download by Grindr LLC - APKMirror

Grindr - Gay chat 9.12.0 (nodpi) (Android 6.0+) APK Download by Grindr LLC - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

www.apkmirror.com

The mod for Grindr 9.12.0 is in this post, if you want people to see that you viewed their profile get the version that records views and if not get the version that prevents recording views. https://xdaforums.com/t/mod-xposed-new-grindr-plus.4461857/post-88747833

First things first though is to get the proper version of LSPosed installed
[Xposed Framework Modules] sam3610:
Yes the Android version is 7.0 or nugat. I know a bit old.

I appreciate all the help! Will this app work on it? I will be working on this... I am a newbie... have rooted and done all from scratch with no knowledge so I really appreciate ur help guys!
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
It should work, Grindr requires at least Android 6, and the LSPosed for your version of Android I believe will require a riru version installed, which is a module for Magisk. If you go into your Magisk, you'll want to make sure you can open the modules, it should be one of the buttons at the bottom of the screen, on one of my older devices it was on the bottom right, and if you click on it right at the top of the screen that opens will be a button that says "Install from storage", check if that is working for you next

Edit: User error, fix spelling 😂
