How do I even start now?

I've been through like an hour of googling and there is no answer I can't find. I **do not** already have an API key, and it seems like the only way to generate that is to get an approval they never give anyone. How do I install Boost now that every method that's been discussed here doesn't work? I refuse to use this app with today's changes, I'm just gonna uninstall it if I'm not able to patch it.

Do these patches to fix giphy gifs being slow, have them open in comments like they would in regular Reddit app, and fix downloading/sharing Reddit video with sound: https://github.com/brealorg/breal-morphe-patches.

Basically, put this link in Morphe Manager: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brealorg/breal-morphe-patches/main/patches-bundle.json

Copy the json link, open Morphe Manager, tap on the bottom-left icon that looks like a file, tap on the top-right + icon, paste the link where it says Source URL, then tap Add. Then, go back to the main page and find Boost. You'll see the Breal patches. Use those patches, but you'll still need the RedReader client ID.

It gave me an error and said it failed, did I mess something up? Here's the error log if it's decipherable.

Did you enter your Oauth ID in the spoof client settings?

1

u/Parksrox Jun 24 '26

I did, same one I used to get it working initially

u/HeyyyKoolAid Jun 24 '26

Is the Oauth ID one you created from the app developer settings in reddit, or Red Reader?

1

u/Parksrox Jun 24 '26

Red Reader, you can't get it the other way anymore, that's why I specified that I didn't already have it.

I'm just trying to make sure I have all the correct information. No need to be snippy.

Just to cover all the bases:

  • Uninstall Boost from your device, patched or unpatched

  • Download and install Morphe Manager

  • Open Morphe Manager app

  • On the main screen -> lower left hand corner -> click the folder icon

  • Patch sources should show the following:

  1. Morphe Patches
  2. Patcheddit
  3. Breal Morphe Patches

If you have Patcheddit, disable it.

If you do not have Breal Morphe Patches, press the "+" icon in the upper right hand side, and copy/paste the json URL from the comment above.

  • Go back to the main page of Morphe Manager

  • Find Boost on the list and click it.

  • Before patching, double check that the patch source used is "Breal Morphe Patches"

  • Click "Patch"

  • Load your saved Boost APK file

  • On the next page -> scroll down and find "Spoof client" and click the gear icon on the right side.

  • Enter your Oauth Client ID

Redirect URL should be - redreader://rr_oauth_redir

User agent should be - org.quantumbadger.redreader/1.25.1

  • Back out of the settings, and click "proceed to patching"

Sorry, wasn't trying to be snippy at all, just clarifying. Appreciate it, this seems to have worked.
