GrindrPlus and LSPatch

[kogan92]

Any version newer than v2.1.3 (for v24.2.0) won't work on unrooted Android devices with LSPatch. It crashes immediately, despite the guide.

Device used: S24 Ultra with One UI 6.1 and Android 14

To be honest, I thought I had linked the post you just sent. I guess I didn't double check before sending the link to this issue.

Anyway, considering this is now resolved (with a workaround), I'll close this issue.

unfortunately, the workaround doesn't work. As a rooted device, the last working version is Grindr v24.2.0 + Grindr Plus v2.1.3 + LSPatch (integrated method).

Why are you using LSPatch if your device is rooted?

is there then a valid alternative to LSPatch for rooted devices? I use Shizuku and LSPatch to make GrindrPlus working, but now I cannot even refresh the timeline nor log into my account.

Have you actually read the README.md? I explicitly state that LSPatch is not recommended (nor stable). If you are rooted, you should be using LSPosed instead (yes, I know it's archived), which is known to work without any issues at all. If that doesn't work for you (because you're on Android 15 or something like that), give a try to LSPosed_mod. As for not being able to refresh or log in, if you're using AdAway, whitelist cdn.cookielaw.org. If not, Grindr might be undergoing maintenance, as someone else reported the same issue a few hours ago: https://github.com/R0rt1z2/GrindrPlus/issues/12

yes I read the README file and it says specifically this:

"LSPosed instructions Root your device:

• There is no specific guide for this, you will have to look it up on your own. LSPosed only supports Magisk and KernelSU
• If you can't root your phone either because you can't unlock the bootloader or another reason, you will have to use LSPatch"

And LSPatch is what I have been using so far on my unrooted s24 ultra

So you're basically telling me to root my device anyways, right?

I assumed it was already rooted because you said, “As a rooted device, the last working version is ...”. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant. In any case, yes, it's preferable to root your device if that's an option for you. I can't really help with LSPatch as I don't use it. As far as I know, @poundross was working on a lot of improvements for LSPatch (which should hopefully fix whatever is going on with it), but I haven't heard about it for a while.

ok, fair enough. Thanks anyways
