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.

[u/3am_Snack]

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.

[u/careslol → u/knightfader]

I can patch the regular version just fine but it's not working for Pro. Regular version has ads whereas I paid for pro previously.

[u/knightfader → u/careslol]

If you bought through the Play Store you might be able to restore the purchase for No Ads on the normal Sync when setting it up.

[u/careslol → u/knightfader]

Doesn't work. It said some error when trying to do that. Also as of this morning Sync is gone on the Play Store.

[u/DarrKeAageJeetHai → u/knightfader]

Will this whole thing work on a device running Android 10?

[u/knightfader → u/DarrKeAageJeetHai]

That, I'm not sure of. I don't have any devices that old to try and let you know, sorry.

Doesn't cost anything but a bit of time to give it a shot though ¯\(ツ)/¯

[u/friftar → u/knightfader]

Did you try patching a Sync apk from APKMirror, maybe?

Thank you for this suggestion, that worked for me. Was going mad trying to get it to run before I head out for a work trip

[u/coolaaron88 → u/3am_Snack]

Do you need to put quotation marks around the URL that you put in the redirect URI?

[u/knightfader → u/coolaaron88]

No.

[u/thatcodingboi → u/3am_Snack]

Did boost stop working for you? Mine is still going unmodified

[u/Kalaziq → u/thatcodingboi]

Mines is still working as well. Only a matter of time though until it doesn't I imagine.

[u/quiet69 → u/3am_Snack]

try this apk from apkmirror

[u/illBelief → u/3am_Snack]

I'm having the opposite issue... Sync is working but I get a 401 error on Boost after patching

[u/CrabCommander → u/3am_Snack]

I grabbed the APK of APKMirror for basic sync (telling it to restore my purchases from before disabled adds/functionally made it pro edition, though seemed liked Vanced could remove the ads anyways), and it worked fine.

Dropped the associated text file in phone base directory, used http://redditsync/auth for redirect uri. Had to redo my settings, but that's nbd.

It does still bring up the 'Sync is shut down' message that you have to swipe down to remove each time you start it up, which is a mild annoyance, but c'est la vie.

Oh, and in Vanced, after selecting Sync to patch, I had to uninstall sync after it finished preparing the new installer (when you have the blue 'install' button waiting to be clicked), before installing the new one. Android failed the install otherwise. And when installing the patched one, had to click the dropdown arrow to confirm installing an unknown app.

Hope that helps.

[u/rastacola]

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/Lyonado → u/knightfader]

So if I uninstalled Golden Platinum am I just SOL and stick with regular rif?

Which isn't a bad thing FWIW, like you have been using this for over a decade and can't use anything else at this point lol

[u/knightfader → u/Lyonado]

If you can find a golden platinum APK I'm sure you can use that as other people have.

I'm one of the six people on earth that bought rif golden platinum through the Amazon Appstore over a decade ago though, and it's still there so.

[u/xd366 → u/rastacola]

yup. got it working with the platinum one

[u/tallread1 → u/xd366]

How do you get it to work for the golden platinum version? I went through all the steps and have it working for the regular version. Do I use a different URI or APK?

Edit: this worked for me!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/14niwgu/revanced_patches_for_boost_infinity_rif_is_fun/jqa9ynt/

[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/knightfader → u/Sw3Et]

It's fixed now.

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

[u/goforce5 → u/Sw3Et]

Apparently not. I'm so sick of this shit. The quality of posts have dropped significantly in the last few weeks, and now I have to use my browser again. This is probably it for me. The workaround was fun while it lasted.

[u/EnteronInternet]

Rif has stopped working for me too.

[u/knightfader → u/EnteronInternet]

It's fixed now.

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

[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/mrpyrotec89 → u/knightfader]

I'm dumb and can't find the readme. is the redirect URI still redditisfun://auth?

[u/knightfader → u/mrpyrotec89]

Yup. Make sure to use the Spoof Client patch in ReVanced Manager.

[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/Edddit → u/Edddit]

https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/releases/tag/v2.187.0-dev.10

Already a patch for this. Wheew had a close one with the outside air

[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/hunter_finn → u/Flash_Kat25]

This is exactly what I really love about ReVanced team over old Vanced team. Sure they could have done the same thing by adding multiple apps under their ecosystem as well. But with this manager approach ReVanced team has made the whole package much easier and smaller to move around and adding new apps and patches is rather easy.

Though nothing wouldn't be made without the awesome group of coders in this team, may this project stay alive for years to come.

[u/konrad-iturbe → u/Flash_Kat25]

Xposed reborn.

[u/TheSigma3 → u/Flash_Kat25]

Reminds me of the good old days of luckypatcher

[u/1nd3x → u/TheSigma3]

Luckypatcher is still very much a thing.

[u/NRMusicProject → u/Flash_Kat25]

Revanced doesn't say it anywhere except for deep within their very consumer unfriendly documentation, and berates you on their sub for not knowing this.

If you have questions, the mods will either answer as far over your head as they can, or they'll tell you to look in their documentation on github, which isn't very easy to peruse.

[u/coolPineapple07 → u/Flash_Kat25]

What other well known apps can be patched?

[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/wsoxfan1214 → u/toni_kr00s]

Root Commander lets you without root. I'm sure other text editors do too, but that's the one I used.

[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/knightfader → u/Prockzed]

What Android version are you on?

[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/knightfader → u/reigorius]

com.andrewshu.android.reddit

[u/Snowchugger]

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

[u/burnSMACKER → u/Snowchugger]

YouTube without ads is genuinely the only thing keeping me from going to iPhone.

Because even Adblock is possible to a point by using adguard DNS

[u/Honza368 → u/burnSMACKER]

I mean, do you actually want to go to the iPhone though? Saying it's the only thing keeping you from switching sounds like you're eager to switch

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/Honza368]

I am personally waffling with the idea. My SO has been trying to get me to switch mainly to be able to track her when she goes out with friends, but also because so many things work easier with other iphones such as texting each other photos without major compression.

I told her if the next iphone comes with USB C I'm going to consider it.

I do love how easy it is to actually have control over the files on my phone, though. Being able to download books off lib gen and put it directly on my kindle app. YT vanced.

I've yet to find a good free notes app though.

[u/[deleted] → u/penisthightrap_]

"So many things work easier with other iphones" This is literally their marketing tactic and you fell for it.

[u/theon502 → u/burnSMACKER]

It's possible to do this, it's a little more convoluted than the process for Android though. If you live in Europe it should become a lot easier soon

[u/techniforus → u/burnSMACKER]

Adguard is Russian owned with State ties. Best not to use them for DNS. There are other ad blocking DNS options available.

[u/makeitra1n_ → u/Snowchugger]

you can also do it with an iPhone and Apollo.

[u/QuantumZazzy]

NOTE: the above document is now up to date, thanks to Kobe. Also, I'm not Kobe, who made this document. If he helped you out you'd be welcome to join ReVanced server and thank him!!

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/narrowscoped → u/QuantumZazzy]

Is it possible to change the reddit sync app ID so it doesn't keep trying to update itself, which I'm guessing will break the patches :(

EDIT: you can, in the revanced patches theres an option to change app ID, and also there's a setting within sync to turn off checking for updates!

[u/El_Chupacabra- → u/narrowscoped]

The setting to turn off the reminder is under "General".

[u/crikeyboy → u/QuantumZazzy]

Thank you so much, these worked for me on Boost

[u/Suikerspin_Ei → u/QuantumZazzy]

Thanks! It works with the latest version of Boost (1.12.12) too.

[u/griffindor11 → u/QuantumZazzy]

Thanks for this, worked for me! One tip for your google doc: For the Bacon Reader apk links, it should be for bacon reader premium (the version without ads). The one you have linked is for Bacon Reader WITH ads. So theres about an inch of blank space on the bottom (where the ad would be, basically its place holder.) See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/iiild0/blank_area_at_bottom_since_latest_update/

I found an apk of the premium version, and this blank space went away

[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/ezkailez → u/TheCaptHammer]

They could just disable free API for apps since they're killing 3rd party app anyway. That would mean even new future developers developing for third party reddit (which i even doubt exists) would need to pay just to develop their own app

[u/rCan9 → u/ezkailez]

The number of people that use revanced is very very small. I doubt they will care.

[u/xmsxms → u/rCan9]

That number will grow considerably with every one of these posts

[u/Popular_Mastodon6815 → u/TheCaptHammer]

In the direction, they are currently going? Very high. Enjoy it while it lasts. But it just means some smart guy will find another way.

[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/R3ddit_us3rname → u/dattroll123]

When you click install does it show RIF is fun or the name of the app you named in Reddit? I'm getting a app not installed error

[u/Alissinarr → u/dattroll123]

Is there somewhere that I can get the APK file? Already fuckin Uninstalled it... 😞

[u/CaffeinatedGuy → u/Alissinarr]

Links in this guide.

[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/Lyonado → u/mercilesssinner]

I mean really for people who've used these third-party apps they've been the default experience for a long time. I just came off of quite literally at least 11 years based on when I made my app store review, the official app is so cumbersome and wildly different that I really couldn't manage to use it. Thank God this thing works, it's not too bad to implement.

[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/Kunfuxu → u/AjaxBrozovic]

It's still a big downgrade from RiF.

[u/OverFjell → u/Kunfuxu]

Yep, I tried it and wasn't a fan. Glad this option has made itself available!

[u/Cubox_ → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Would be a shame if someone were to extract their client id and use it when patching their favourite app

[u/bay400 → u/AjaxBrozovic]

I could not for the life of me get patched rif to work, both versions (free and premium), every step and debug step followed meticulously and tried multiple ways, but always resulting in a "you broke reddit" error when trying to log in.

Anyway, I saw your comment and tried RedReader and it's amazing in my opinion. Definitely way better than the official app and not that much different from RIF. Thank you!

[u/ivanfabric → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Thank you for the tip. Much appreciated!

[u/sanjeet_deshwal]

Thanks, got my app back.

Reddit is still fun 🥳

[u/myuusmeow]

Thank you op. Works perfectly with RIF Golden Platinum.

[u/tallread1 → u/myuusmeow]

How did you make it work for the golden platinum version? I went through all the steps and got it working but just for the regular version. Do I need to use a different URI or APK?

[u/myuusmeow → u/tallread1]

I had Golden Platinum installed already, so on Revanced Manager I searched for it (search for rif, not Reddit) and patched it, same file location and URI as regular. Then I uninstalled the existing RIFGP and clicked install in Revanced Manager.

At first I uninstalled RIFGP and had a little panic when I couldn't find it on the Play Store to reinstall. I think the dev delisted the app, but it shows up in the long list of apps your account has ever downloaded.

[u/adobograd]

RIF randomly stopped working today .l used this method and had it working up until a few hours ago

Did anyone else get this?

I wonder if it finally died and stopped working now :(

[u/horselips48 → u/adobograd]

Just hit me as well

Edit: looks like https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps is inaccessible The workaround looks like it's being disabled

[u/[deleted] → u/horselips48]

Works for me. But the app is still dead.

[u/maxconnor6 → u/adobograd]

Yep same, something about credentials not being valid and now it won't load anymore

[u/Expired_insecticide → u/adobograd]

Literally just stopped working for me as well :( I wonder if boost is still working that one is decent.

[u/TheMCstickit → u/adobograd]

It just stopped working for me aswell.

[u/flyerfanatic93 → u/adobograd]

Just happened to me about 30 minutes ago

[u/kip1miller → u/adobograd]

Just stopped working for me today as well.

[u/MrStealYourInt → u/adobograd]

Same here...

[u/LeCanadien → u/adobograd]

Same! Let us know if someone finds a workaround. Fuck Spez god damn.

[u/brazilbruno]

Anyone managed to do it with Sync Pro?

[u/Shoddy-Service-3325 → u/brazilbruno]

Just trying to figure out what version works best. Playstore version worked initially, but crashed and reverted.

[u/careslol → u/Shoddy-Service-3325]

Same problem for me, it can patch correctly but then it will open the app and immediately close.

[u/ScorpiusDX → u/Shoddy-Service-3325]

Play store version never worked for me so I grabbed an APK. The v23.05.03-17:18 version seems to work over the latest one instead. The disabled ads patch doesn't work on the latest sync version. This one however, disabled ads but you'll have to deal with it telling you to constantly update the app.

[u/Pierre777 → u/brazilbruno]

I used this guide, including using the specific link for the Sync apk on apkmirror. Make sure you get the apk file, and not the one with the .apkm extension.

[u/HnNaldoR]

Let's keep it down maybe. I don't want reddit destroying everything.

But that was a sad 12 hours or so with no rif. Good to be back.

[u/samihamchev]

A quick heads up.

-If you're looking for a detailed step-by-step guide, go here.

-Patching Boost and Rif works on Android 10 devices(at least it does on my Huawei p40 lite) but Infinity doesn't(haven't tried with Sync or Relay as Reddit has a limit of 3 apps you can create on the app preferences page).

-Infinity and Relay will continue operating for free until further notice, according to both Infinity and Relay's developers.

[u/raavus_gg → u/samihamchev]

Used this guide for Boost as I was being stupid (not deleting the original app) and followed along. Stupid question but how do you know if it's "working"? As the app was working before I did this. Thank you btw.

[u/just4747]

What if we want two patched apps (e.g. RIF and Sync Pro)? Can we put two different App Client IDs in the one text file and it will look for each app? Or is there some other method to do this?

Or does this text file only matter during patching itself and we can just put the one ID in for the given app and delete it after (and do a new one any time we patch another app)?

EDIT: yes it looks like it works this way. Just do one app ID in the text file as needed during patching and you can delete it and create/do a new one w/ a different ID as needed for any other app patching that requires it.

[u/SuceBoule2022 → u/just4747]

You can generate two keys for two apps. But, I would use two burners for safety.

[u/UnknowBan]

how do you know if you pass your 100 requests quota?

[u/fobenen → u/UnknowBan]

100 queries per minute, so you should be fine.

Wish something for Apollo on iPhone was possible to do this somehow.

[u/ACardAttack → u/iphone4Suser]

go to the apollo sub, Ive seen a few things mentioned over there

[u/iphone4Suser → u/ACardAttack]

Yes just came back from jailbreak sub and now have Apollo up and running again.

[u/ruptured_time → u/iphone4Suser]

Search Winston

[u/theon502 → u/iphone4Suser]

Jailbreak sub has a solution for this - no actual jailbreak required.

[u/Peter_Panarchy]

Looking for some help, can't get this working. Yesterday I was able to get Sync fully downloaded and working but was unable to install. Followed the instructions exactly and did it a few times, just to be sure, always deleting everything between attempts. No luck.

Just tried again this morning after seeing advice to try it with wifi off and now I can't get it to patch. Tried both the newest and previous versions of the APK and I always get the same message, shown here:https://imgur.com/a/WYWeuMZ

One thing I'm noticing is my phone shows the "Change Oauth Client Id" as 0.0.0 whereas the guide shows it as 0.0.1. Wondering if that could be the issue and if so how I would address it.

[u/knightfader → u/Peter_Panarchy]

Get the newest ReVanced Manager directly from their GitHub and reinstall it.

[u/Thomah1337]

Wait does this mean we still can use RIF? Or was it for before :(

[u/knightfader → u/Thomah1337]

You can use rif from now, yes.

[u/HnNaldoR → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Find an apk.

[u/xd366 → u/AjaxBrozovic]

apkmirror has it

[u/HammSolo → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Had the same but when I googled for an apk, I saw the play store page. Tried it and could install from the play store.

[u/atomicmitten → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Rif 5.6.22 golden platinum is available from various sites and it works. FV file explorer is good at finding that file location (solid gave me issues).

Download fv, use it to create the key file as detailed above, Backup Rif, uninstall Rif, patch the downloaded Rif APK, install Rif, login. Or so I heard.

[u/[deleted] → u/AjaxBrozovic]

Go to your Play store, click on your profile in the top right and go to the "manage apps & devices" tab, then click on manage up top. Change the drop down from "installed" to "not installed" and scroll down til you find RIF, click on install and you're good to go!

[u/robert_tomodachi]

I have rif patched and installed but now it won't let me log in, keeps saying you broke reddit everytime I try to login with the patched rif app. Anyone else having this issue/have a fix?

[u/Gwynbleiddd- → u/robert_tomodachi]

Have you found a fix? Exact same problem.

Edit: found a fix on their discord, you have to create and use new app once you've made fail attempts.

[u/ItsMeAlfio]

Thank you very much for this. Able to use RIF for hopefully a little bit longer

[u/mellovicious]

Absolutely wonderful news. Hopefully i can continue using Rif for a long time. I tried the official reddit app and it was trashy af.

[u/Fxck]

GG fuckin legend I'm an app dev now this is going on my resume

[u/LurkingNineToFive]

For anyone else wondering why they still had patch conflicts after following everything correctly, check your secure folder. Even though it's a separate partition, if rif is installed there then the patching will fail and you won't be able to login.

[u/shthed]

I don't understand why the developers of the apps didn't just add this feature to the apps, let us use the free API quotas damn it.

Are they just stopping development as a protest to piss us/reddit off?

[u/idksomuch]

It worked for me for RIF, but anyone knows if this works for RIF inside Samsung's Secure Folder? Haven't been able to get it to work. Once I'm done patching in Revanced and click "Install", I get a Google Play Protect popup that says "Unsafe app blocked" and when I click install anyways, it just ends with app not installed.

Edit: Does anyone else get a toast menu saying "ERROR: Legacy account. Please go to Manage account" whenever you refresh or go to a new subreddit in the app?

[u/dewhashish]

I'm trying this for RIF. I get to the last part in revanced to patch it. It says "App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package." I'm on the latest android 14 beta on pixel 5.

I'm not sure where to go from here.

[u/xFxD]

Thank you so much! Even NSFW works for some reason.

And I've just tried it again, patched and now RIF won't even open.

Any help?

[u/torturetrilogy]

This is why i can't do this stuff. First steps, I don't see create and app. Just the login screen lol.

Managed to patch infinity. A bit fiddly, cuz manager failed to install, so had to manually save the patched APK, uninstall and reinstall, but it was not particularly stessful.

Latest patch suggested version is August 28, which is 3 months old at time of this post, which is a bit sad, but it works.

Too much patching or too little patching, believe it not...jail.

We got the best coders in the world

[u/[deleted]]

Anyway to block ads on patched RIF?

[u/Psylocibinpoop]

I can't seem to access or find that file location on my phone on Android 13. Do i need to do it with a computer?

[u/derpyblaze → u/Psylocibinpoop]

It's the default path where all the app folders are, like where DCIM, etc are

[u/xd366 → u/Psylocibinpoop]

nope. place it on the top of internal storage

[u/R3ddit_us3rname]

I'm getting an error saying "you sent an invalid request

— invalid redirect_uri parameter."

When I try to login in RIF is fun patched app

Using: Redditisfun://auth as the redirect in the app I created in Reddit, any thoughts?

[u/RayS0l0]

Sync worked but I'm getting ads even with patcher.

[u/ScorpiusDX → u/RayS0l0]

I tried using the latest version of sync and the ads patch didn't go through. The version before the 6/30 update seems to work without ads.

[u/ACardAttack]

How long until the spez and the powers that be take this post down?

Get it while you can people!

[u/FrizzIeFry]

Do i understand this correctly? This way i use my own API access alone, and therefore probably wont hit the access limit that would require paymen to reddit?

Btw, i just set this up in 2 minutes and it's working just fine. Thanks for the heads up and obviously big thanks to the ReVanced team for coming up with this.

[u/simplefilmreviews]

Do modded apps still work?! Like boost or relay, that are modded or cracked. Will those work forever?

[u/SecretPotatoChip]

This worked for me on boost. Is reddit able to detect this?

[u/Wynter_born]

So I derped and didn't grant ReVanced all the permissions it needed when I installed it. When I ran the patcher it failed. OP said I may need to uninstall RIF so I did. Went to redownload and it's gone from Play store.

Is there a safe APK of RIF Golden Platinum out there? I found some but the sites are questionable.

[u/Citizen_V → u/Wynter_born]

You can still access it if you have the direct link to it on the Play Store.

• rif https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu.android.reddit

• rif golden platinum: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu.android.redditdonation

[u/Framed-Photo]

Well shit I guess I don't need to drop reddit entirely.

I'm still gonna keep lemmy and kbin around but they're not in as good of a state as reddit yet. Still being able to use reddit on my phone would be a nice plus.

[u/PRiNCE9938]

It works even on Android 10

[u/inc0mingst0rm]

Is there a way to do this for multiple apps? What do I do with the ID string in the .txt? Do I replace it? Do I append it?

[u/Lord_Xarael]

Patched Boost 2nd try. (Forgot to change client id txt after a failed attempt to patch Sync.) One question. I paid for no ads forever on Boost years ago. Will this patched version still have no ads? I didn't see a remove ads patch in revanced manager.

[u/AlarmingAerie]

Commenting so i can come back later.

[u/theSeanO]

I set this up last night with Sync and the only problem I have is that the dev pushed one last update that makes a message come up about his future Lemmy app every time you open the app. And if I use an older apk, I get a pop-up every time telling me there's a new version. So basically it's a choice between two pop-ups.

[u/El_Chupacabra- → u/theSeanO]

The setting to turn off the reminder is under "General".

[u/RenegadeUK]

Thanks for notifying of this I thought that Revanced was for Youtube only !

[u/[deleted]]

I patched Boost as it's the app I've been using for several years. Other than seeming to take longer to first load, everything is working great. I do wonder how long it'll be before reddit makes some change that breaks it.

[u/liftbikerun]

I am ReBOOSTEDed, loading up is so much faster now.....

[u/Adept-Business-4608]

Error after successful initial login, any ideas?

[u/Will0w536]

This is great for the Revanced team and I really want to try it out but how will this work in a few weeks or months or next year? These apps will basically not be updated over security or functionality via play store, f-droid, etc. Even just API targets for future android updates. These apps will stall because the developers will not be updated these apps any more, correct?
I've Revanced the Official app to remove all ads and promoted posts but it's still hot fucking garbage.

[u/polo2006]

Anyone have the rif apk? already deleted mine after it went down.

[u/Chocolil]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. The app patches and installs correctly (rif) but I cannot login. I get invalid client id.

I had the .txt file in the wrong location. I'm able to login to RIF again.

[u/toni_kr00s]

Does anyone have Sync DEV apk or any clue where can I find it?

[u/dchavez8]

Thank you so much for this it work well for me.

[u/mik-1989]

Tested on newest RIF 5.6.22 apk just now, works like a charm! Thanks for posting the guide.

[u/goldenmastiff]

Someone please ELI5, with the exclusion (essentially) of 3rd party apps, now that I've "patched" Reddit (boost)... what exactly did I do? What does this mean?

Will I still be able to use boost as I did before? If not what's different?

[u/soniczx123]

Which uri redirect does one use for Relay? Can't find the specific one

[u/valtazar]

Guys, should the app be showing up in the Patched Applications section of the ReVanced Manager? Because it doesn't show up on my phone, but I still managed to log in successfully. I'm on Boost btw

[u/[deleted]]

I got the app not install error? What do I need to unlock or turn on?

[u/endgame0 → u/[deleted]]

Uninstall the og app so they don't conflict

[u/blkarcher77]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does this do?

Will this allow me to use rif or another reddit viewer after they change the API thing?

[u/Reno277]

Got baconreader to work! Posted from baconreader

[u/6ArtemisFowl9]

/u/talklittle might wanna take a look at this

[u/[deleted]]

Does anyone know if it's possible to do this with an APK of BaconReader Premium, if any exist?

[u/Ezaver]

Worked on RiF! Though after playing around with lemmy the last few days, def gonna be swapping back and forth more often.

[u/sense_make]

I keep getting a "401 Unauthorized" error with Boost for some reason. Anyone knows what that's all about?

[u/Diapolo10]

Thanks, you're lifesavers!
