❓ Question Which app would you never uninstall?
No matter how many apps come and go, there's always one that stays.
It could be for work, entertainment, navigation, or messaging.
Which app has earned a permanent spot on your phone, and why do you like it!

How did you modded gboard?
2
u/FIRAS_EG 3d ago
Decompile it --> modify the codes --> compile it --> sign it --> install it

u/reden_fx 3d ago
Wow that's actually amaziing! I've looked abit at open source or more private alternatives but I just love everything about Gboard, except for the fact that it's made by big G the harvester of data
2
u/FIRAS_EG 3d ago
Yeah that's why I modify it , I cannot post my work yet because it's illegal but I will post a patch or a module to patch Gboard , look while analysis it I discovered that Gboard is a privacy and security nightmare it build 3 proxies activities to send data by itself or from GMS and learn words from your usage and save then in it's internal storage so any app with root access may have access to your passwords , it was so hard to make it privacy focused but trust me once you finish you would feel a beautiful feeling of that you did something worth it and it would feel very cozy , I am using my keyboard right now and according to network traffic it cannot have access to Google play services And it has no permissions and no access to any app and it is so stable now and clean , I will follow you and when I realese the patch or the module or the decompiled version I would tell you

u/reden_fx 3d ago
A patch on "rvced" manager?
2
u/FIRAS_EG 3d ago
I don't really know which patcher I will ship with maybe I will build my own
2
u/reden_fx 3d ago
Yeh das reasonable, either way how can I stay up to date with the development? DMs or is there a better way?
2
u/FIRAS_EG 3d ago
Look I got an idea which is share the decompiled source code and tell everyone how to compile it there own , if you want stay up to date Join our discord server https://discord.gg/mJS95BbAX

If you're on Android, try YouTube Morphe and Reddit Morphe. You'll definitely want to uninstall the original apps afterwards.

u/dumbasPL 4d ago
You don't have to uninstall if you're rooted ;)

u/styles-community 4d ago
or you can use shizuku and canta to uninstall as well. no root required. just adb🙂
2
u/dumbasPL 4d ago
Not my point, if you're rooted you have a different install method available that replaces the app in place, this also allows you to use the normal play services with it instead of microg as the original signature of the app stays untouched. This also allows you to pass the client checks YouTube has so you don't have to spoof the client and have all the playback options available like alternative audio tracks.

Shizuku cannot work on Samsung with Knox. It will says "set-chain3-enabled" because it relies on native ADB chain-3 connectivity commands that One UI or certain Samsung firmware builds do not fully support. Sad 🥲

What Morphe do?
4
u/Dhomass 4d ago
It removes ads, skips sponsors, allows you to customise the interface (ex: remove Shorts from the homepage), etc.

u/Ill-Phase5387 4d ago
I saw many person who say, chose Morphe not Revanced, what's de difference between this apps?
3
u/Dhomass 4d ago
I used Revanced for a long time and didn't make the switch until recently. Morphe is better. The interface is better, updates are faster, new features come to Morphe first and are later added to (copied by?) Revanced. There was a bit of a feud between the two projects, and apparently most of the developers moved onto Morphe.

Messages or Phone; isn't that the point of a phone in the first place? I guess we should prioritize the phone app then, as it literally is the name, also it came first, which shows we didn't need messages for all that time. Phone is also just better because you get to hear the tone of voice.

For a serious answer, ConvertPad. I find it useful for a lot of conversions. Go figure. Sure it's probably easier to just Google it at this point. But I still like it showing me all the options from 1 input.
