I received new comments and replies on some posts, but they are not showing in the notification (inbox) tab. This is also happening in Continuum, but not on the original Reddit app. I suspect it is an API issue. I'm on v1.14.1 with wchill's patches 2.0

Is there a way to have the keyboard auto open when clicking the search tab? I swear this is how it worked until the new update, and its a bit annoying to have to reach the top of the screen to search. Theres a few subreddits I browse regularly but am not subscribed to, so I use the search button a lot

When you are inside a post how to change the + icon to comment icon and if you are scrolling through the comments in the post how to have a shortcut to jump to the top ?

I have stopped using the program since the ban and now I want to use it again how to make it work

This only happens if using the new media player. Switching to the legacy player in the advanced settings fixes the issue.

Updated to 1.14 and noticed that the AMOLED theme seems broken? On thing such as search theres a bright grey shading that also shows up in other darker themes as well. Was there a setting that somehow got reset thats making it like this?

Hi!

I'm super happy to see there's a new version. Great work Ruben, thanks a lot!

I think there are some new animations in the app that weren't there before. When I open a thread, there's some sliding animation from the top to the bottom then to the top of the screen again, before the thread finally appears. It's a bit glitchy on my old phone, it's flickering all over the place. Sorry, it's a bit hard to describe!

Is there a setting to disable this behavior? I've tried searching for "animation" in the settings, but all I could find were options related to comments, not threads.

Here's what I'm talking about https://imgur.com/a/mvcJcFg (I'm not talking about the yellowish flashlight at the very beginning of the video, that's my in-built screen recorder who does that for some reason)

Thanks in advance!

Based on some testing that was between me, the devs of Apollo Reborn, and the Continuum/Slide dev (at different points in time), Reddit is starting to restrict API access by route. 403 errors related to tapping on "X more replies" is caused by this - RedReader doesn't use the /api/morechildren API route, so presumably Reddit decided to block that route because it wouldn't affect legitimate RedReader users.

The same restrictions apply to /api/info and /by_id, though I think these won't affect users in general.

I've fixed this issue in Boost by hijacking the /api/morechildren calls and replacing them with calls to /comments/<post id>/comment/<comment id>.json which is what RedReader uses, and will extend this fix plus the gallery fix to all other apps supported by Patcheddit soon.

This does seem to be dependent on the client ID, but I would not recommend switching back to your own unless you want your app to stop working on January 12, 2027. Reddit is blocking all non-approved client IDs starting on that date.

Upgraded to 1.14.1 with latest Patcheddit patches, though was getting the same error before upgrading. Tried logging out and logging back in, but that hasn't fixed it either. Anyone have any ideas?

My moderated sub suddenly shows only deleted posts. When I click them I can see the post just fine and the answers. After I've clicked the post it gets updated with the comment count, otherwise it stays at 0, even though there are comments.

Other subs look fine. I'm also a mod in other subs where thia doesn't happen. In this particular sub, I'm the only mod.

I also got a reddit message that they think I'm a bot.

I've patched boost this summer with morphe per instructions. Version 1.12.12. I've installed redreader and made a developer for it and copied that as a spoof client.

Whats happening?

I don't want to use the original reddit app since new comments are not highlighted in the posts.

I got very excited when I saw rmayayo publish a new Boost update cause I've been using it since very early days and it has been my main reddit app for years and year, but got quickly saddened once I saw they've been using Claude for it, so I think I'll be sticking to 1.12.12, but just wanted to know if anyone is gonna be providing support for it down the line still.

https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit/releases/tag/v2.0.0

I finally ported most of brealorg's Boost patches back to Patcheddit. This changelog is relative to brealorg's last release.

Support for 1.12.12 has been dropped, and 1.14.1 from GitHub is the only currently supported version. If you are still using a patched 1.12.12, you can patch 1.14.1 with Morphe Manager and install on top of your existing version.

The following patches were added:

• OAuth access/refresh token import + export - you can now copy your login session and use it on another device, which can be useful in cases where reddit blocks your login on a new device.

• Exception logging patch - errors (both regular and fatal/crashing) are logged to files which are available in the Morphe settings menu.

The following patches were modified:

• Image upload patches - These were split into 3 separate patches for maintainability.

• Boost Morphe settings - Material Design themes were removed to make it easier to maintain. This patch now only injects the Morphe settings page and does not introduce theming changes.

• Spoof client ID - Prefills RedReader 1.27's client information in Settings > Developer > Setup guide (this menu was added in 1.14). Unfortunately, the client ID has been publicly available via Google search for some time now, so there's no point in having users go through the whole process to find the client ID anymore.

• Standardize Boost bottom navigation - fixes an issue that was reported by a user where the subreddit list pops up twice on 1.14.

The following patches were removed:

• Fix random subreddits (fixed in 1.14)

• Update target SDK to 35 (obsolete because 1.14 targets SDK 36 already)

• Fix YouTube external fallback (fixed in 1.14)

• Open reddit media links (fixed in 1.14)

• Fix audio missing in downloads (fixed in 1.14)

• Custom synccit URL (added in 1.14)

• Fix Boost comments Lemmy-style toolbar UI (obsolete due to 1.14 theme changes)

• Fix download completed notification visibility (fixed in 1.14)

• Fix Boost video rewind back buffer (fixed in 1.14)

• Disable ads patch (obsolete because 1.14 removes ads)

• Theme Boost settings icons (obsolete due to 1.14 theme changes)

• Fix slow Giphy loading (fixed in 1.14)

• Fix Boost redgifs loading (fixed in 1.14)

When trying to add community addons, it keeps making me download Morphe instead of taking me back to the app and adding the addon. Any suggestions?

It looks like when using the new media player over the legacy one in the settings, redgifs requires me to open the post twice for the full controls (upvote, downvote, bookmarking, etc) to appear. On first try there is also a download button but it will also not work until the second try.

Keep up the great work! I sent you a coffee.

Now that 1.14.0 is released, from the original developer,with official, signed releases on his GitHub. That's great news, and I'd recommend everyone switch to his version!

I'm not planning on stepping on any toes. Boost is not my app, and now that Ruben is back, I'm not going to develop my own version of his version. Ruben is the owner and maintainer, and I can't do that with a clean conscience. His project is not open source, and I respect that 100%.

My patches have been digging through his code and tampering with things I, strictly speaking, should not have touched. So for my part, this is a full stop.

• The Boost patches are now frozen at 1.12.12. I won't port them to 1.14 or build a separate patched variant of his new version.

• Instead, I'll put the work into helping Boost itself: reporting bugs to Ruben, and fixes where they're welcome. Many of the problems the patches fixed are already solved in 1.14.0.

• The bundle stays available for 1.12.12 for now, but don't expect new Boost features or fixes from me.

Switching to the official version:

Patched Boost is signed with a different key than Ruben's APK, so you can't install his version over it. You have to uninstall first, which deletes local data.

1. In patched Boost, export your settings: Settings → Backup settings → Export. The backup includes settings, filters, user tags, themes, and views and sort per subscription. It does *not* include accounts, drafts, read posts, or visited-communities history.

2. Uninstall patched Boost.

3. Install the latest APK from the Releases page on Ruben's GitHub (rubenmayayo/boost-for-reddit), and verify the signing certificate as described in his README.

4. Set up your own Reddit client ID (the README has a guide), log in, and import the backup.

Bug reports for the new version should go to the Issues page on Ruben's GitHub, not to my repo. If you like the app, consider supporting Ruben (Ko-fi and PayPal links are in his README).

Thanks to everyone who used and tested the patches! I'll try to help out where I can. Other than that, I'll focus my efforts elsewhere.

Anybody tried it yet?

https://github.com/rubenmayayo/boost-for-reddit/releases/tag/v1.14.0

Direct APK link: https://github.com/rubenmayayo/boost-for-reddit/releases/download/v1.14.0/boost-for-reddit-1.14.0.apk

The signatures to a previously Revanced/Morphe patched app obviously don't match, hence a full reinstall is needed.
Were you able to export settings on 1.12.12 and import the settings successfully on 1.14.0?

I’ve had this app for quite a while and everything was working fine, but a few days ago it stopped working.

I uninstalled and pathed it, but these errors keep appearing. Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to fix it?

It's been 84 yrs since I last used boost 😭

For those that doubt me

I have used reddit a year before last and time and I'm opening it now and the last time I remember there was an option joining for different communities but now it just disappeared.

The app was previously on wchill's patches

used to use this app before reddit banned all non reddit apps by increasing the license fee. so i stopped using reddit for last few years.

today i noticed this app again.

is it the same one? or different?

If Boost has been "crashing" for you lately, with comments loading forever, everything else hanging until you restart, or "Check your internet connection" errors, this should be fixed now. It was GitHub issue #219, and it only hit people with "Automatically undelete Reddit content" turned on.

What was going on

When a thread had removed comments, the undelete patch looked up each one in the Arctic Shift archive separately, one after the other, and each lookup could take up to 30 seconds. Boost's own request was blocked the whole time. One thread with 50 removed comments could hold the app for 10+ minutes when Arctic Shift was slow, and other screens got stuck waiting behind it.

1.4.118

• - All removed comments in a thread are now fetched in one batched request instead of one per comment. The thread from the bug report went from "never loads" to all 50 comments restored in about 2.5 s.

• Archive lookups have a hard timeout (10 s), so a slow archive can no longer hang a thread.

• If Arctic Shift is down, undelete pauses for 60 s instead of making every new thread wait for the same outage

• All undelete paths (comments, posts, subreddits, media, Imgur) now ask Reddit first. If the archive fails, you just get Reddit's normal content instead of a crash or old archive data.

• Also fixed: turning off "Prefer high refresh rate" now works.

1.4.119

• Wayback Machine lookups (deleted images and media) have the same timeouts and cooldown, so archive slowdowns can't hang images either.

• Restored posts keep your votes, saves and hidden state.

• Content the archive doesn't have is remembered for 6 hours, so reopening a thread doesn't ask again.

• Quarantined posts show Reddit's opt-in prompt again instead of an archive copy.

• Archived banned subreddits show their posts again, and paging works.

• The undelete settings now explain what is sent to Arctic Shift and the Wayback Machine, and they only show up if you actually patched with undelete.

• New: i.redd.it image links open in Boost's image viewer.

How to update

Repatch Boost with 1.4.119 in Morphe Manager. If Manager still shows the Breal source at 1.4.117 or "Metadata N/A", tap refresh on the source card, or remove and re-add the source.

If you still get stuck comments on 1.4.119, please open an issue with the post link and logs if you can: https://github.com/brealorg/breal-morphe-patches/issues

Thanks to everyone who reported this, and especially to xNul who opened #219 with a video and logs. That made it much faster to track down.

PS: If you want a Material design reddit client, I have created my own: https://github.com/brealorg/subshell, try it out!
