It's simple, really.
- if you have Reddit app installed, uninstall it first
- download revanced manager and install the apk. https://revanced.app/
- find Reddit app's apk in apkmirror.com and download it
- open revanced manager and select Patcher -> "select an application" -> storage and select the downloaded Reddit apk.
- make sure "disable ads" is in the list of selected patches
- run the patcher, wait until it completed
- don't install the resulting apk right away yet. Instead, open the "..." menu on the top right of the screen and backup the patched apk
- close the revanced manager app and open your file manager. Locate the patched apk you just backed up in the download folder, then install it.
Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app.
Edit: oops, replied to a wrong thread
Instructions unclear: iPhone now running Windows Subsystem for Android. Plz help.
That fixes the ads but still the official reddit app is a huge backstep from the now cutoff apps that made browsing reddit a pleasure. It's just a rippoff off all the terible algorihtm based Facebook, Twitter and Instagram apps that constantly show me posts that i've neither subscribed to nor I am interested to see. It's a shame.
There is an option in revanced manager to patch reddit sync to use your own oauth client id. I just tried it out and the patched reddit sync just crashed when it start loading the frontpage. oh well.
Works perfectly fine for me. Did you use the right APK that's linked in the Google Docs with the instructions?
I actually tried with latest version of Sync Dev already installed in my phone. What version are you using? Also, which google docs? I only follow the instruction in revanced manager that said to put the client id string in
/data/storage/emulated/0/reddit_client_id_revanced.txtHere's the full instructions. Also, you have to uninstall all versions of Sync before you start patching. The guide I linked has everything from creating your own API key to running the patcher.
Does this work for YouTube?
Yes, it's initially made to patch youtube. The recommended youtube apk to patch right now is v18.19.35, or you can download pre-patched apk of youtube here: https://github.com/revanced-apks/build-apps/releases . You'll also need to install Vanced MicroG if your phone is not rooted.
I also saw patched reddit apk there fwiw.
