I'm rather surprised you're on such an old Android version. But yeah, totally agree, those notifications are super annoying and could really get you in trouble if you're in a country where being gay is a big no-no. I'm gonna try to stop them too, because I kept getting them even with GrindrPlus.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Unfortunately yes, I still have to find a way to detect whether someone triggers a block / unblock.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
The screenshot is from a BlueStacks emulator that I use for testing, my actual phone isn't quite so ancient ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] labcacdasda:
@Rortiz2 I am using V24.0.8 and I tried both, the debug version you linked AND the release version. I also tried using LSPosed and EdXposed. No matter what I do, whenever I start Grindr I can see in the LSPosed/EdXposed a few messages....

Loading modules from /data/..../path contains grindrplus

Loading class com.grindrplus.Hooker

GrindrPlus: Starting pre-onCreate hooks....

NOTHING after that.

I was looking at the GitHub Repo and in case of crash I assume I would see stacktrace and in case it keeps going I should see the "Starting post-onCreate hooks..." message, which I do NOT.

I also never see a Toast about version mismatch (which makes sense since the V matches).

Any idea what could be going on?
[Xposed Framework Modules] labcacdasda:
@Rortiz2 I decided to download your repo to see what is happening....

Even with this change it will NOT print the message....

```

override fun afterHookedMethod(param: MethodHookParam) {

Logger.xLog("HERE")

```

So, for whatever reason the findAndHookMethod call DOES NOT seem to find the required hook....
[Xposed Framework Modules] labcacdasda:
@Rortiz2

If I change it to this.... it works for me! Odd!!!

findAndHookMethod("com.grindrapp.android.RealApplication",
lpparam.classLoader,
"onCreate",
object : XC_MethodHook() {
override fun afterHookedMethod(param: MethodHookParam) {

[Xposed Framework Modules] frostyboy_in_aus:
Thanks for your hard work.

Since updating to 24.1.0 from 9.17.2 the following issues appear

All my previous saved phrases disappeared. Can they be recovered?

No longer able to search any messages in my inbox.
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
Yeah, I don’t understand why Grindr removed search feature in chats !?

+ Expiring pictures are not gray anymore but after you open it once, next time getting an error “Unexpected error opening expiring photo” (I live in a country where 99% of photos are expiring that’s why it’s a bit important for me 😅)
[Xposed Framework Modules] 64izadi:
thank you for the update. this now directly works without needing the debug build you've been posting in this thread! thank you :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Yeah, this is expected behavior because I changed the way saved phrases are handled. I will try to add an /migrate command so you can easily restore them. As for the search thing, I think it's a Grindr change but I'm not entirely sure.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] frostyboy_in_aus:
Yes please the /migrate command would be very helpful as I have many saved phrases that had disappeared
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
It is Grindr change, on iOS it's missing as well
[Xposed Framework Modules] simon.m:
where can i download the 24.1.0 version? The play store download only the 24.0.8.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cybertlc:
Installed Grindr 24.1.0 and patched with LSPatch. Mock Locations is giving a "prohibited" error on this version on Android. No issues with the past release.

*Update* Patched via the Play Store 24.1.0 version and now working properly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] simon.m:
where did you get the 24.0.1 version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cybertlc:
Downloaded it online.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Does this version show when someone blocks you? I haven't seen any for a while. I normally see one or two a week
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Answered my own question. I reverted back and now have it

I have older version 1.4.0-9.18.5

it asks me to update and does not let me install cause there is a conflict with the current package

I also cant uninstall the old one

edit: ok i uninstalled the old one from lsposed and not from the usual apps
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
Can you stop forcing update?

El javi had it working, no needed to update earlier
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Even if I successfully disabled forced updates, the application wouldn't work properly due to the significant internal changes since the last 'stable' release (version 9.18.5). I'm certainly sure that with updates to the chat system, the format of requests has changed and that could cause compatibility problems with the server when using the outdated version.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] sxoron:
Has anyone been having problems opening Expiring Photos? Some of the profiles, I am not able to open them and I only see the refresh circle. I recently updated to the 9.18.5

Grinder version: 9.18.5

Pixel 6 Android 14 and Pixel 6a Android 13. Both are rooted

Side note. Thank you everyone for making this mod. It is amazing and I really appreciate all the work you guys have put into it.

Suggestion: For the filters, is it possible to narrow down the weight range from 0-600+ to 0-300+?
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
Yeah was same issue on 9.18.5 that’s why updated to latest one, but on the latest one you can open them only once, but at least all can be open.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sxoron:
do you think it's better to downgrade to a previous version or upgrade to the latest version? I really like being able to see the expiry photos more than once
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
For me only old ones were working but 95% of the new one wasn’t so I’ll survive on the new one. I can do a screenshot if I really need.
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
Did u manage to get block-unblock message to work again?
[Xposed Framework Modules] heart301612:
(new to this) does my phone need to be roooted for this to work?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Yes, it does
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Hopefully soon the blocked message notification will be fixed, that is one of the best features in my opinion, 👍
[Xposed Framework Modules] DOUGHBOY126:
thks for updates devs
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I have to admit that I use this "You have blocked this profile" message function a lot, too because it's much easier to unblock someone through message than going to the official unblock menu in the settings, which often doesn't work at all. I hope this function will come back to the new mod soon!

Thanks for the hard work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
Grindr forced me to update today. Does the viewed me list thingy still work in 24.1? Only the unlimited album and block notifications are broken right?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Joofox:
Yep grindr forced rolled out forced update 🥶
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
My 9.18.5 stopped working today too, forced update. Seems stupid they would block a release that's only a couple months old.

Installed 24.1.0 (over the top of 9.18.5) and Plus 2.1.1, but nothing was loading, grid was blank with "unable to refresh".

Did a clean install and now get this when trying to log in:

Hope someone knows how to fix it?

Thanks always for the work to keep this project alive ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
I had to uninstall the previous module and reboot and install the new module and reboot again when I attempted just an update of the module. I have also seen a few messages that say all restart required on viewing albums. This and the blocked messages are the 2 things I've noticed. I'm sure the developers will look at it when they can. I'll just keep checking, 😉
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Fixed it by doing a clean install of 24.1.0 with no mod, logging in without the mod, then installing the mod!
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
Update app, Remove old mod, install new mode, restart

Be aware.no search function and no block/unblock messages in this version
[Xposed Framework Modules] Joofox:
For some reason the /help command stopped working after few hours, disabling and renabled the mod didn't help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
hope to see the blocked notifications work thanks dev
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tenynos:
Yes I made it. And now again with the latest version.

I am on MIUI 14.0.4 (Android 12) and I used LSPatch and Shizuku.

It has been discussed here several months ago when I was looking to use this mod, I know that I am not the only non-rooted user
[Xposed Framework Modules] monkeyhatchet:
Can you please explain how to go about this? I have installed both those tools and patched the G+ installer but have no idea how to use it
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tenynos:
I struggle a little everytime I want to update the mod, I am a newbie, but here are the steps I performed a moment ago:

- update Shizuku & LSPatch to the latest stable version + check that both are running well (Shizuku running & Shizuku running status visible in LSPatch)

- download the Gr+ mod apk from the link below + the suited version of the Grindr official apk (v24.1.0)

- In LSPatch, in the 'manage' tab [I have it in french, but I that's the logical translation], I added the Grindr apk. And this time I chose the 'Integrated' patch (once again I translate) so I can then select the Gr+ mod apk. LSPatch makes its stuff, and the Grindr patched app is now installed

- I log in using my credentials, I do not (and cannot I think, from memory) use the google account

Good luck!

[Xposed Framework Modules] detrimum:
Installed v2.1.1 and mock locations are not working and unlimited grid is not working? Do I need to do anything extra to make the mod work this time?
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Yes! Huge thank you to the devs for the updates. Greatly appreciate all of your work.

Suggestion: Bring back exact time online (3 minutes ago, etc)
[Xposed Framework Modules] monkeyhatchet:
Game changer! Thanks so much
[Xposed Framework Modules] detrimum:
And today it decided to start working on it's own.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
You don't need Shizuku just to patch any apks with LSPatch. Also, patched Grindr app does not work as root+Grindr+this mod. For example, the new profile view doesn't work. There should be more incompatibilities. This method is not supported here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kerk768:
Hi.

I think you should no longer implement the block/unblock messages again and the chat should be gone after a block.

This feature makes the app even more, shall we say "dehumanizing" than it already is and gives you a massive unfair advantage over almost the entire userbase.

Please consider the ethical implications before implementing it again.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
Please being back the block/unblock message. Personally, I love that feature, and I don't see anything wrong with knowing that I have been blocked. If one doesn't want to have that feature, maybe they can just, I don't know, stop using the mod altogether, as the mod exists to give the root users an unfair advantage over vanilla app users. I don't get the point that only one feature gets singled out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Completely agree, what that user is asking for is already how the normal unmodified app works, so I don't really understand why they're asking for this.

The block notification and retained chats is INCREDIBLY useful and makes the app much safer in my opinion. What if you meet someone off the app, they rob you, or rape you, or worse, and then they can just block you to erase any trace or evidence of them. It's always been a very very poor decision by Grindr to allow users to remotely erase content from YOUR account. Any mod to improve safety can only be a good thing in my eyes. That's why this feature should stay.

Not to mention, the number of times this mod has helped me see when someone is trying to scam me or catfish me - they chat and send pics, then block and unblock (thinking that's erased the chat), then start a new conversation pretending to be someone else with different pics! This mod lets you see when you're being scammed. It's another benefit, not a drawback.
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
Brand new account and your first ever comment is asking the dev to not bring back arguably the most popular feature of this mod. Highly suspicious.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Just like kerk768 and alive505 mentioned in previous comments, I personally think this is one of the best features this mod had. That being said, you're not the first person to mention this so in any case, if I ever get it fixed (again), I'll try to add a toggle to control this feature.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
does the mod for 24.1.0 show others when you viewed them?

if not is this something thats able to be brought back with different mod flavors like before?

thanks @Rortiz2
[Xposed Framework Modules] sandman_hoorays01:
Is read receipts not working on the latest version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] orangensorbet:
That would be so great. Thanks alot 🙏🙏🙏💪
[Xposed Framework Modules] Joofox:
Please bring back the ID inside profile, such a nice feature distinguishing OG accounts from fresh ones. Yes i know /ID, just so convenient with just a click away. 😀
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
For me it has been working fine until this month.
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
Yep. Tried all your suggestions but no dice. It just seems like inside Island, at least on Grindr 8.23, they disabled the Google login button, and even the regular login button that uses the email address and password as login credentials.
[Xposed Framework Modules] seshugadu1:
Hello, First of all thanks for this excellent mod.

I'm new to this exposed world and basically I got to know that need to root the phone for installation of Xposed framework. Then searched for non root options and found one app in GitHub without root. I dont know how to use that app and it will work or not. If anybody knows please let me know how to use the Grindr Plus with this app.

Thanks in advance!!

This is the app I found :

Releases · taichi-framework/TaiChi

A framework to use Xposed module with or without Root/Unlock bootloader, supportting Android 5.0 ~ 11. - taichi-framework/TaiChi

github.com

I tried to downgrade by installing 8.23 grindr app but its not allowing to login. So again came back to official 8.24 version and still no luck with Grindr Plus mod.

Plz somebody help me..!
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I would recommend that you NOT use taichi. I've read in other posts that it does malicious activities. I don't know for sure if it's true or not.

First you need to unlock the bootloader on your phone (which will also wipe everything on your phone, one-time). Then root your phone and install lsposed or xposed. It really depends on what brand and phone you have since the method may vary.

If you're not technically saavy, then you shouldn't do this because it could prevent your phone from working. Find your phone in the xda forums and there should be instructions on how to unlock bootloader and root your phone, if it's even possible. Some phones, eg samsung phones, are not easily rooted or impossible to unlock and root.
[Xposed Framework Modules] seshugadu1:
Thanks for the reply!! Mine is Samsung Note 9 Exynos Version.

Yes, Not into too technical till now. Haven't tried rooting and all these stuff. If not rooted is there any other way to use this Grindr Plus app?

Why dont modders work on Grindr Mod ? It is also popular app na? Just because its related to dating & LGBT community they are ignoring this? Tried many forums but no Mod app available for Grindr which is working. Is it hard to mod this app?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Unfortunately, as far as i know, you need to be rooted and have xposed/lsposed installed for this mod to work. Xposed/lsposed is what allows us to exceed the capabilities and limits of many apps.

I don't know enough about grindr's internal code to say if it's hard to mod or not. I don't think that developers are necessarily against grindr because it's a gay app. I think that it's because grindr is a small "niche" app compared to other much more popular apps. I know that millions of people use grindr, but compare that to, eg tinder, where all sexual preferences can use. In addition, most developers probably don't want to spend their free time modding grindr because grindr frequently releases useless updates (at least that's my understanding).
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Here is an update to Grindr Plus for version 9.0.0 build 110296. In this version I have not enabled Experiments, preventRecordProfileViews, makeMessagesAlwaysRemovable and notifyBlockStatusViaToast.

The code is still there, but commented out as I was partly being lazy, and partly need to investigate code changes more, as far as the makeMessagesAlwaysRemovable, you should still be able to remove messages and I think this is more or less a backup option, but I did not ask ElJaviLuki (The original author) if that is the case.

I did add the extra profile details back as ElJaviLuki fixed any errors that were preventing me from adding that back in for updates.

Again, this is his work and nothing is changed, I simply updated sections of code to work for 9.0.0 and only commented out sections which I did not manage to update that would throw errors or cause issues.

ElJaviLuki did many updates with his last release and error fixes. Please at least say thank you to him for this as it makes Grindr usable again again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] spilmer01:
Huge props for creating this module. Can I please ask here what the

current meta is, for quickly making a fresh account after a ban hammer ? This app gets sneaky and is obviously banning alot of different things.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xk3v1lx:
I must say SORRY for this update

What i meet is:
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Did you try disabling the mod and then using Grindr to see if the problem is with Grindr or the mod?

I know grindr has issues with their servers at times, and in the last 24 hours there were some issues reported....

I would disable the mod then try to run it, and if it works try enabling the mod again and see what happens
[Xposed Framework Modules] xk3v1lx:
i tried but still error connection

Then, waiting for the next update 😶
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I just installed 9.0 mod; Grindr v9.0 and the mod works without any problems, so i think your connection problem is probably a different issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] onoakino:
How can I view the toast notif after it went away? The block toast notif went away after I have enough time to read it. Was it stored somewhere where I can view it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I'm sorry this is not working for you right now. I don't know if an update will help, but it might. The connection is not modified at all when using the module.

The only other thing I could suggest right now is if you have another internetr connection, maybe at a friend or family members that you can use to test if it works there, try that connection and see if anything changes/works then. 9.0.1 is out but doesn't need an update from what I've seen so far but I haven't had the time to fully look at it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
If you are asking if you can go look at it after it disappears off the screen, there is no where that I'm aware of that it is stored right now. It just shows up and then it's gone. You would have to ask the original coder more about that (ElJaviLuki) but last I've known it just shows up for a few seconds and then is gone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
Not sure why you posted this as most people here already know they can go to apkmirror to get the update if they want, but most seem to just let their phone update. Also 9.0.1 is out since 14/1/2023 but thanks either way.

[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
It's simple, I've been here pretty much this entire time and I read through all the comments and follow along with issues that people have had and attempt to help them.

I guess I could just stop doing updates and stop helping people and you can keep posting the app itself if you wish. You might get an update only every few months given that the author, ElJaviLuki is extremely busy much of the time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xk3v1lx:
Thankyou very much for your support

I found the only reason why it met the errors

Maybe it's usful warning for anyone in the future:

THIS IS MODULES OF GMS (LIKE KILL GMS FONT OR GMS DOZE)

When i delete these modules and wipe data (include apdate) of CHPlay and Play store Service the WORK like a charm 😗

Anyway, thanks all of you for supporting me ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] RobbieTechie:
I'm glad you got it working again !!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] chonnamae:
Thanks to the Developers. I caught my cheating boyfriend because of this mod. More power!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Just following up with my agreement that the ability to view ID and the block/unblock/scam highlighting really helps with safety. A toggle to not retain blocked chats - or a command to clear a chat completely sounds like it would be handy to clear out very old and inactive chats from the list.

I'm currently on GPlus 2.1.1 / 24.1.0 and having noted the issue with /id and the other /commands not persisting in the chat history, I am seeing a variation where the command output doesn't appear at all.

This isn't consistent but the /commands do appear to work in most shorter chats, but in some longer chats, message notification sounds happen, but the chat doesn't show the /id or other /command output.

Anyone else noticed this oddity? ( Apologies if it was mentioned before and I've missed it in the discussion )

Final point - regardless of this odd thing, the app is still much better with the mod than without so thanks to all the devs and contributors without whom none of this is possible.
