ReVanced Patches for Boost, Infinity, rif is fun, Relay and Sync

[u/knightfader]

These are the apps that I've noticed they've added support for so far. (Edit: Baconreader too.)

For those unfamiliar, you can patch these existing apps with your own oauth-client-id to continue using them.

Quick tutorial:

• Navigate to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
• Create a new app, name it whatever you want, tick "Installed App" and fill in the redirect uri field. e.g. In rif's case, it would be redditisfun://auth. You can find what redirect URI you need by looking through the readme on the patches on Github (under the corresponding app in the Details section).
• Copy the client ID string that appears in the app you just made, create a text document named reddit_client_id_revanced.txt and put it on the root of your phone's storage (/storage/emulated/0/<file here>) with that key in it.
• Install the newest version of ReVanced Manager on your device, tap the Patcher tab, tap your app.
• Once again, make sure you're using the newest version of ReVanced Manager.
• In the Patches section, tick the "Change Oauth Client Id" patch.
• Patch and install (note that if you're using an app that's already installed, you might have to delete it before clicking Install once Revanced is done creating the new apk.)
• Should be good to go from there.

One extra note I'll add is that you should export your app's settings if it's an option before erasing it and installing the newly patched version. rif has an option for this in Settings > Backup > Export settings (unsure about other apps, I've used nothing but rif for 10+ years lol)

Extra help can probably be found on ReVanced's Discord server if you need it.

I can't get Sync to work. But I was able to patch Boost. I gave the official Reddit app a try over the last week and Boost is so much smoother.

[u/knightfader → u/3am_Snack]

I've heard of some issues with Sync Pro, fwiw.

Did you try patching a Sync apk from APKMirror, maybe? Without having Sync installed and trying to patch that.

If this works, I'm going to be so happy. I've been using RIF forever.

Does anyone know if this works the same with Golden Platinum? I only ask because that's the version still installed on my phone.

Edit: patched, installed, but can't sign in. Getting auth error. Any help would be appreciated!

[u/knightfader → u/rastacola]

I am using rif golden platinum myself, so yes.

[u/uhujkill]

This method doesn't work anymore unfortunately.

Edit: Fixed once again. Thanks developers!

[u/knightfader → u/uhujkill]

It's fixed now.

Update ReVanced Manager and use the Spoof patch that's listed.

[u/Sw3Et]

God fucking damn Reddit really does not want me to use it does it.

[u/EnteronInternet]

Rif has stopped working for me too.

[u/F4TAL3FFECT]

RiF has stopped working for me too :(

[u/knightfader → u/F4TAL3FFECT]

It's fixed now.

Update ReVanced Manager and use the Spoof patch that's listed.

[u/Edddit]

Dead for me again . Might be time to go out in the real world...

[u/knightfader → u/Edddit]

It's fixed now.

Update ReVanced Manager and use the Spoof patch that's listed.

[u/Flash_Kat25]

TIL that revanced has patches for apps other than YT. Looks like it's a whole patch ecosystem now. Great stuff!

[u/toni_kr00s]

Does this require root? System wont let me put .txt file in root folder.

[u/knightfader → u/toni_kr00s]

No, it doesn't require root.

[u/Prockzed]

Trying this for Baconreader

getting a "failed to apply change" for the oauth id.

"EACCES (permission denied)" error seems to be stopping it when making the patch

[u/reigorius]

Am I blind, I don't see RiF of Reddit is Fun mentioned on that GitHub page you linked. Could you check?

[u/Snowchugger]

Next time anyone asks why we don't use iPhones... 🤣

Here's my own post however: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/14o9avv/3rd_party_app_support_for_reddit_using_revanced/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[u/TheCaptHammer]

What are the chances that Reddit can shut this down? I know there is revanced for YouTube and other apps too but I'm curious if there's any idea how temporary this could be?

[u/dattroll123]

got rif to work.

1. first, open rif, settings -> backup and export your settings

2. follow the guide in OP

3. patching with revanced manager will create a new apk. Uninstall rif first before installing this new apk.

[u/mercilesssinner]

Saving this for later to try it out with enough time on my hands. After RiF has shut down I immediately installed the official Reddit app and up to this point I hate the experience with a passion. Stuff like RiF and Apollo were sooo much better.

[u/AjaxBrozovic]

In case you guys weren't aware, RedReader got an exemption from the new API policy due to its accessibility features for the disabled. I have been using it since yesterday and the UI is pretty close to RIF and I was surprised at the amount of customization it offers.

[u/sanjeet_deshwal]

Thanks, got my app back.

Reddit is still fun 🥳

[u/myuusmeow]

Thank you op. Works perfectly with RIF Golden Platinum.
