  • Long-tap social media icons to display username and copy to clipboard
  • Disable automatic deletion of older chats (truncate chats)
  • Disable smooth scroll to top for chat inbox (get to the top more quickly)
  • Inverse filters allow you to filter by "not blocked" users as well as users who have sent/received photos

  • Bulk tap erase (long tap on inbox tab while viewing taps)
  • Backup/Restore chats locally or to Google Drive
  • Disable Fresh Faces
  • Delete conversation from chat screen
  • Auto-generate profile display names for blank profiles
  • *NEW* Show message count on Inbox tab (can be disabled in module settings)

*Tapping on the GPS Accuracy text will display your current location as an overlay in the upper-left corner of the cascade.

**To view profile history, replace "Fresh Faces" with Profile History in module settings. Clear the profile history by long-tapping on the "PROFILE HISTORY" title.

***Long-tap the inbox tab to bring up a dialog giving you the option to bulk-erase one-sided chats before a certain date. You can also clear ALL chats at once. Bulk chat operations will respect currently set inbox filters.

Like my work? Please consider donating!

NOTE: This module does NOT unlock any paid features!! It does NOT allow you to view more guys than what your subscription allows. It merely fits more profiles on the display at once by increasing the number of columns
in the grid.

Works for both free Grindr and GrindrXtra.

So far works great, thanks! Is there anything new we should be aware of coming from the other version?

A couple of things :

- I do notice that not all profiles with chats have the orange border.
- would it be possible to add swipe across screens (I think previous version of app or mod had this)?

Thanks and great job!

There is a paid feature now which too closely matches the active chats border, so it has been removed.

The mod introduced that far before the app did. One might argue that they took it and monetized it from @GrindrGuy. Does this mean that if the app starts mimicking other features introduced by the mod to monetize from them that the mod will just start taking them away? Nah, I'm against this move... You and GrindrGuy ultimately decide, but I wanted to share my two cents.

If you want to get "super technical" about it, this feature was introduced years ago in the original app but taken away around v3.0.

EDIT: Since I do not have Grindr Xtra, if someone would like to actually send me screenshots of what this feature looks like, I may be able to re-work it so that the module provides a similar feature that is not a direct replica of the paid feature.

Oh, wow - didn't know that! Here I thought @GrindrGuy was the genius behind it!

Don't have Xtra, but something to bring back that function making it different enough might be to have a little circle with counter in it: currently app gives you a yellow circle with the number of new messages. You could play with that idea: just a yellow dot if there are viewed messages, or include the number (?).

Along the same lines, I have a suggestion: In my area you often get a few users who don't upload a photo and you just see the generic black profile pic with no user name. Would there be any harm / Would it be possible to give those profiles a random name (user1123) so as to know which user is which?

I'm still used to swiping left/right to switch between profiles and inbox. It's annoying you actually have to tap on those now. Dunno if you can revert that behavior.

Say you're chatting with someone and you want to go back to "nearby" view. you have to go back and then tap on "nearby". It might be interesting to have that navigation bar with nearby/inbox/favs persistant throughout the app, with it autohiding and showing back up when you scroll down. This way there's an easy way to always go back to home, and we also always see if there's a new message notification.

Another suggestion I had way back when was to further customize this navbar: for example, I'd love to order it to have first favs, then nearby, then inbox, and being able to swipe between the views. At this point it might also be nice to have the option of having the navbar either on the (new) bottom or (old) top.

Sorry for the long post! Thanks for your efforts, and it's also fun to think about UI design like this!

You could play with that idea: just a yellow dot if there are viewed messages, or include the number (?).

That's actually how the GrindrMod feature used to work, by "hijacking" the unread messages count to always display the yellow border regardless of whether the messages were unread or not.

Along the same lines, I have a suggestion: In my area you often get a few users who don't upload a photo and you just see the generic black profile pic with no user name.

That's a really good idea.

I'd rather not alter the UI to that extent since there may be some underlying reason for them changing it in the first place (one person suggested that the toolbar was moved to the bottom in order to encourage accidental clicks on the banner ads).

No problem. Thanks for the suggestions!

Take my money!

Looks like the app attachment was removed from this thread? I'm running 3.24.x or something just so Grindrmod will work. I'm being told when I open Grindr that I can only use that version for two more days until it is mandatory that I update to the latest version. At which point grindrmod will not work.

So, I'm looking forward to an update =_=

The NEW GrindrMod is available in the Xposed repository.

@GrindrGuyNYC, is it possible to amend the photo viewer activity (when tapping on a profile picture) to always show the Android soft-keys? Every time I tap on a profile photo to open it, I have to swipe up to show the soft-keys to go back. Starts getting annoying really fast. Thanks.

PS. GrindrMod isn't listed on Xposed module library when I check in Xposed Installer (I use the one by DVDAndroid). I had to go to the repo online to download and install manually.

I see it just fine in the official Xposed Installer.

@GrindrGuyNYC I'm on oreo 8.1 with systemless xposed.
The module won't show in notification bar even if I choose show always.

Another bug (on nougat too, with "standard" xposed) is if I swipe or open a new profile module ask me to undo last refresh.

    I will post an update once they resolve the many issues plaguing their most recent versions.

    Filters have been broken for the latest 3 versions of Grindr and it doesn't look like they are anywhere close to fixing it.
