Blank, fake, phishing, pic collectors etc.

Blank profiles, catfish, old profiles claiming to be new and vice versa, folk who blocked and unblocked you then pretend to be someone new, pic collectors, etc. Not just blanks. Joys of living in a big city is that there are a few with a screw loose. Any help identifying them and staying safe is welcome and /id is a helpful extra data point.

Rortiz2 - on /lc location name drop down - any chance the drop down triangle could be bigger or white? I overlooked it with the grey-on-grey. But that new dialog is very nice overall!
[Xposed Framework Modules] sfoklus:
For me the Read-Delivered feature doesn't work.

@Rortiz2
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
If you had read some of the earlier posts, you would have seen that I explicitly mentioned these features are now server-side and therefore no longer functional (yes, I do have to update the feature list of my fork's README).
​

I'll add that to the TODO list for the next release, thanks for the suggestion.
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
Hehe I'm still confused as to why people need the id function.

Can't you just 'favorite' the profile and add a note? That way if they reuse the acct, you'd already have it 'bookmarked.' Also, if it's a blank profile lacking stats, I would simply block or ignore; I wouldn't even try to track their id. If it's a fake picture (or too good to be true), I'd just block (or ignore).

But ultimately, isn't maintaining a list of IDs of ppl I chatted with alot of work? If the conversation is going nowhere and it doesn't lead to a face-to-face meeting, then I'd just stop responding. I could also do a video chat just to verify it's a real person. If someone really wants to scam me, they could just create a new acct and use a different picture. Tracking IDs wouldn't really help right?
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
If you favorite a profile or add a note, and that person then blocks and unblocks you, you lose the favorite and the note. So the ID is a nice way of knowing it's the same person even if they pretend not to be.

Your points are good ones but there are some other reasons it's nice to have the ID. You can tell if someone is new for instance. IDs are allocated in order so profiles that have only just been created are currently being allocated IDs in the range 620xxxxxx but old profiles have much lower numbers. So if someone says "I only just joined this, I've never used it before" but their ID is a low number, you know they're lying. Of course it's not essential info to have, but it's better than not having it, right?

New version for 24.3.0 works brilliantly and great to have the swipe back and the nice intuitive GUI too, thanks Rortiz2!
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I see what you're saying about the blocking part - that the 'favorite' is lost if we're blocked/unblocked. You're also right about learning whether it's a brand new profile from the ID #.

I guess for me, it's just alot of work to keep track of IDS. Don't get me wrong... I'm usually OCD about many things and/or detail-oriented in general, but keeping track of many people's IDs just seem alot of work for not much gain ... because there are usually other faster ways to verify someone's authenticity.

Maybe because I live in a popular gay city... I might be numb to all the catfishes, blank profiles, and ghosting hehe
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
No chance to fix expiring photos? It’s showing as unopened but on second time will show an error ;(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Yes! I'm actually working on a fix for this, I'll include it in the next version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zeletris:
Idk if it's detailed anywhere, but why are profiles with the green dot connected, and others connected without the green dot?
[Xposed Framework Modules] genesis89:
How do you set a location? And is the "teleport to location" similar to the teleport function on Grindr (profile shows the word "teleporting")? I mostly use the gps emulator app on the play store for spoofing my locations. It's the same thing right?
[Xposed Framework Modules] valtar:
Mod changes green dot from 10 to 3 minutes, and online status is still for 10 minutes from last refresh.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Yes, and even better actually. It has the same functionality as the GPS Emulator. Just type /teleport Barcelona and it will teleport to Barcelona (you can use any city name, this was just an example).​
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I can confirm the fix works. I will drop a new update tomorrow.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NanoTony:
Thanks for all of your work on this. It's game changing. I know there' are a lot of feature requests but want to throw the exact time online one back out there.

Before it used to show "Online 3 minutes ago" etc. Now it just grays out the "Online Now". Any way to bring back the exact time? It was very helpful for me and I'm sure a few others out there.

In the grand scheme, just happy the mod works and you guys keep putting out updates. So thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GrandMstrBud:
Thanks for the update I am glad the swipe now works. Will the saving of blocked profiles ever come back? I really miss that one
[Xposed Framework Modules] orangensorbet:
Unfortunately, I still have the problem that the commands are sent as a pure text message. That's not so bad because I send it to a second profile to test it. But it goes through as a pure text message without triggering a popup. For example /st... Is sent as /st.

My setup: Galaxy S7, rooted by Magisk, LSposed, LineageOS 19, Android 12.

The grid is working. Swipe no problem, ID shown as popup not working, too. Crash.

Maybe someone has a solution or it's just a lineageOS issue... 🤔

Same Setup on a rooted Moto G84 5G with rooted stock rom works. No lineageos on my second device. Just rooted same way. Magisk, Lsposed, etc.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
With no logs I'm afraid I can't help you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] secj:
Hi. I found out that having the mod enabled and Xtra subscription I do get read status correctly initially, then if I go out of inbox conversation and back in, it has changed from read to delivered. Since u say now it is server side feature, could u just pass-through the "read" status? Many thanks for your efforts 😊
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
I'm using LineageOS 20, Android 13 OP7T with swiftkey, magisk+lsposed.

English set as the primary language - might your keyboard be using a character that looks like a / but isn't a / ?

I've not seen any issues with / commands not being recognised or other crashes with the latest GPlus.
[Xposed Framework Modules] orangensorbet:
Thanks for the tip with the keyboard, but unfortunately it didn't work - not even with SwiftKey. English. I changed. Still text message like /st...

I know it's a stupid question and I was able to call up the logs but I've forgotten how to do that 🙈. I tried to find here again... but can someone tell me how to do that (logs)? 🙈
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Why don't you back up your phone using TWRP and install another ROM like AOSP to see if the same thing happens? It wouldn't take more than one hour...
[Xposed Framework Modules] orangensorbet:
I would do that at home too. But I'm still in Thailand for three months and only have two smartphones at my disposal. That doesn't make things particularly easy. No Laptop or PC right now 🥴 Odin or something like that would be useful, I know...
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
Read message is useless.. if it says delivered it is read already
[Xposed Framework Modules] detrimum:
LSPosed, but looks like it went away in 2.1.4. I mean, it went back to grindr's standard big battery drain. Why does it even have to use so much CPU all the time? Is it mining bitcoins (grindr, not your mod 🙂)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I wonder why. Reading older messages from this thread isn't an option, I guess.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chonnamae:
I loooove the latest update. Thanks devs. How to give a coffee? I'm from the Philippines.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MintMori:
One feature I've always wanted was the ability to filter by external social media linkage. Like checking which users have a Twitter, to make collabs easier to find.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Is it possible to show distances in the list of unblocking user screen of settings like my favorite grid?

I simply wanna unblock users in thousands of miles away whom I blocked when they were visiting my city or I visited their cities so that I can shorten the unlock list...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
I think it should be possible. I'll take a look at it and try to implement it. As a side note, I'm redoing the whole mod (i.e. I'm refactoring the source code). This should make future updates easier and preserve better compatibility. I'll post a new version soon.​

I missed this, sorry. Again, the latest update to the chat system messed everything up because things are no longer local. Based on what Tebbe said it should be possible to bring this feature back, but it will take some effort to do so. I will start working on it once I finish the refactoring.​

I haven't tried hooking the filters yet. I'll add it to the to-do list, but it won't be my priority for now (i.e., the blocking feature is more important).​

You can always donate to the developers via PayPal (I don't know if it's available in PH). I'm not sure if Javi (the original creator of the mod) has it linked to his profile. I shared mine a few posts earlier.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Wow! The blocked user list was getting longer and longer, and loading the list takes time, lately. I'd super appreciate if you can add this info in the list!! Thanks in advance.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zeletris:
Possibility to add more than 1 album?
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
Sorry , I haven't yet understand if the chats remains visible to me when someone block me
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
No, this used to be a feature of the mod, but Grindr changed the way chats are handled recently - they are now stored on Grindr servers, rather than locally on your device, so chats disappear when someone blocks you (or when you block someone). The mod developers are investigating if it is possible to save chats locally again to retain them even if they are deleted server side, but this will take a lot of work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
This is a feature controlled by Grindr themselves server-side, so this feature is only enabled on your account if you are a paid subscriber. I don't think it will be possible for the mod to change this. But if I'm wrong that's great!
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
It's a cool idea! An additional idea along the same theme as this would be if tapping someone in the blocked list could actually open their profile. Because there's no way to differentiate between pictureless profiles in the block list otherwise. Just an idea!
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Actually, I was thinking of the same thing, but I was not sure if it was possible to see the profile you had blocked yourself or if pictures in the blocked user list could be used as an independent bottom to map such a function. That said, it would be nice and cool if it can be implemented.
[Xposed Framework Modules] felipefgf:
Hello. I'm sorry if this was already tackled before, but is everyone experiencing an annoying auto refresh on the chats tab that makes it go to the top when coming back from an specific chat? Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bob1221:
Hello, Im brand new to the thread and wanted to know how to start from here. Do I download the app on my phone and a corresponding file? Or do i program something into my phone?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Taking some time to release the new update because I want to fully finish this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
You need to unlock the bootloader of your phone, root the phone with Magisk, install LSposed, install this mod, activate it with Grindr and reboot the phone.

Or simply, use LSpatch to patch a Grindr apk with this mod and install the patched apk if your phone is not rooted altho this method is not recommended here.

If you don't understand what's explained above, I guess you need a geek friend to help you...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bob1221:
Ok thanks. Is there like a youtube video or more easier instructions to follow?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
There probably isn't a video that combines it all.

What phone do you have? If you have a Samsung US version, I don't think they can be rooted, so the only method that *possibly* works is the second method (lspatch).

All the steps required involve some technical know-how. With the first method, unlocking your bootloader will also wipe all your data on the phone (unavoidable), so you would need to have a way to back up your data beforehand. And if you make a mistake, it's also possible to make your phone unusable. I've messed up my phone in the early years.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bob1221:
Right, after doing some research I might not choose to unlock the bootloader as I don't want to wipe any data. Also, Im pretty sure I have a Samsung US version; which is a bummer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bob1221:
Also, would the second method work? Are there any other alternatives?
[Xposed Framework Modules] neo_lithic3K:
I've never used the second method before but I heard from others here that it's either problematic or not fully reliable.

No alternatives that I know of
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
If you don't know anything about unlocking bootloader and rooting your phone, I highly recommend you NOT to do it only for this mod because it will ruin so many system functions and securities, and you would have to deal with the problems one by one yourself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Patching Grindr apk using LSpatch is relatively easier and safer, but again, it's not recommended or supported here even if you have a problem.

That said, I have two phones, one with bootloader unlocked and rooted and the other with locked bootloader. I use this mood with LSposed on the rooted phone, and a patched Grindr apk by LSpatch with this most on the non-rooted phone. They both work fine. I haven't seen any issues with the patched apk with the recent versions of the mod.

There are tons of tutorials on how to use LSpatch in your own language on internet. I don't think this is the right place to ask how to use LSpatch.

Anyhow, good luck!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nycbee:
help please!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
Sorry, you use same profile on the 2 phones or 2 different profile? Years ago grindr can't allow use 2 devices wirth the same profile and maybe now is possible?
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I guess the policy was because messages were saved locally, not on the server like now altho it was technically possible. You could use the backup/restore function to sync messages on two devices.

I use the same account on two different devices, a phone and a tablet. Since they started managing messages on the server side, it's been so easy that I use my tablet to browse guys at home, and use my phone when meeting up.

I guess this is off the thread topic. So I should stop here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
now that the chats are server sided its a lot smoother experience using 1 profile on 2 devices
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
For how long do they keep messages on the server after deleting it in the app?
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
Why don't you ask Grindr support, not here?
[Xposed Framework Modules] lightdd:
hey does this work on bluestack? i tried but dont seem like im getting any of the features maybe im doing something wrong
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I don't wanna be a jerk, but I don't think anyone can help you here. First of all, none of us know which phone you use, how much Android knowledge you have or what your problem is.

To use this mod, you need to understand how to unlock bootloader of your phone, how to use Magisk to obtain root access and LSposed to run this mod, how to troubleshoot all the side effects caused by unlocking bootloader and installing Magisk. I don't think it is a good idea to unlock your phone only in order to use this mod without technical knowledge.

If your phone doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked, you need to use LSpatch to directly apply this mod into Grindr apk. This thread is not to discuss how to use LSpatch. So you need to search for the info in the LSpatch thread or google it.

XDA FORUMS are not always nooby friendly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I just realized this mod told you boosted users. This is kinda convenient when they hide their distances!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
New Release: GrindrPlus v3.0.0 (24.3.1)

Fixes

- Added support for the latest Grindr version (24.3.1).

- Fixed the unlimited expiring photos feature.

New features / Improvements

- Rebased the entire source code.

- Introduced a 'Mod settings' section (Settings -> GrindrPlus) to control features.

- Added the ability to view all albums.

- Actually included the app icon (made by ElJaviLuki).

- Added the ability to see hidden profile details when clicking on a profile name.

- Added the ability to copy the user ID by long-clicking on a profile name.

- Added a button next to saved phrases to manage teleport locations (replacement for /locations).

- ... and (probably) more (I forgot).

Notes

- Unlimited albums and expired photos will only work with new ones. Previously shared photos / albums will still not work.

- LSPatch users, you keep me on my toes! I wrote over 300 lines of code to ensure compatibility with LSPatch : )
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
youre a legend
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
WOW this all sounds so good ❤️ THANK YOU always!

I'm having a bit of trouble getting it running in my BlueStacks environment, all previous versions have worked fine but this release gives me this error when trying to activate it:

I don't think BlueStacks supports a newer Xposed (I think Xposed is actually discontinued?) so I'm not sure if there's a way around this. I will do some research into modifying Xposed to use LSPosed instead and hope it is possible. But did the mod really change so much to need a major framework change or can this version check be bypassed somehow to allow it to continue working like it always has done? 🤞

Thank you a million times always
[Xposed Framework Modules] rodman55:
i use lsposed zygisk version in bluestacks just fine
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
I'll look in to it, thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Give the attached version a try, but I doubt it will work. The bundled Xposed JARs have been updated and I'm not sure if they will be compatible with such an old Xposed.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
Wow! You are so quick!

That one looks better:

But unfortunately when I open Grindr it's the normal un-modded app.

Don't worry, it is time for me to upgrade to something newer! I will figure it out. Thank you! ❤️
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Sorry to hear that, I wish I could keep compatibility with older Xposed versions. I've actually added a few small instructions to the README about how to install LSPosed. They are not very detailed but they can probably help you.​
[Xposed Framework Modules] alive505:
I appreciate that very much. I actually already use LSPosed on my phone, it's only BlueStacks that I was wondering about because I prefer to test things in BlueStacks before doing anything on my phone, but I am sure there will be a way to make it work. I think my first necessity is to finally upgrade my BlueStacks to something newer than Android 7 🤣 it was long overdue anyway! Thanks again!

Good afternoon, how do I change my location? I put /teleport more city or coordinates in the chat and it doesn't give anything, please help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thanks2You:
Fab work from you and everyone else involved!

Quick initial feedback:

* Previous saved locations weren't retained for me so caution when using /tp <old name>. /tp home was about 6000 miles from where I was expecting and it confused me why the grid was so different until I looked at my favourites and they were so far away!

* Unlimited albums / expiring photo cache - amazing!

* Great to see the new dialog for settings and having so many things adjustable. Just wow!

* Quick access to the id/hidden settings. Feeling safer already!

I feel like a kid whose birthday just arrived!
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Your location cannot be determined, it appears in a red box and from there it won't let me update the profiles. PLEASE HELP
[Xposed Framework Modules] qtotter:
I've found a bug. When you tap blurred profiles in "Viewed me" list, the app crashes. Anyway, thanks for your update!

P.S. I tried to save a location like "/save name xxx,yyy", but it just gives me "No location saved" error... Any format changes?
[Xposed Framework Modules] yonaaas:
Unlimited album feature is making app slow and unusable
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Interesting. Someone reported that bug already but I forgot to take care of it, noted for the next version.

As for the save command, that’s my fault. I forgot to implement that scenario. For now you can teleport to the location and then use /save Name to save the location you previously teleported to. I know this isn’t ideal but use that way for now. I will add back the feature in the next version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rortiz2:
Yeah, sorry. I should’ve mentioned that. Previous saved locations are gone due to the new codebase. Thanks for the very detailed report.

____________________________________________________________________________

@Rortiz2

1) Unlimited taps feature isnt working so it might as well be removed from the settings list

2) Disabling chat indicators for other users requires a restart of the app to take effect

not sure if u can make it instantaneous or perhaps consider adding a button to reboot app after changes were made to settings that require restart

3) In addition the option to allow unsending messages no longer how old they were sent is no longer relevant given the new server sided messages grindr now allows for that by default
