Info
I migrated this guide to GitHub which allows for a more robust layout and easier maintenance. Here is the link to the GitHub version.
This Google Doc guide will eventually be deprecated, but it will always have a link that redirects to the GitHub version.
If needed, you can ask for assistance in the ReVanced Discord, Subreddit, or Telegram.
Client ID Setup
Go to this page (and sign in to the account you want to use).
Select, “are you a developer? Create an app”.
- Enter an app name (it doesn't matter what you call it).
- Set the type to “installed app”.
- For Sync, set the redirect uri to “ http://redditsync/auth ”
For Boost, set the redirect uri to “ http://rubenmayayo.com ” (Many users experience rate limits while using patched Boost.)
For RIF (Reddit is Fun), set the redirect uri to “ redditisfun://auth ”
For Relay, set the redirect uri to “ dbrady://relay ”
For BaconReader, set the redirect uri to “ http://baconreader.com/auth ”
For Infinity, set the redirect uri to “ infinity://localhost ”
For Slide, set the redirect uri to “ http://www.ccrama.me ”
For Joey, set the redirect uri to “ https://127.0.0.1:65023/authorize_callback ”
- Press, “create app”.
Now copy the client ID, which is directly under the app name. Save it in your clipboard. You'll need it soon.
Patching Setup
Uninstall the official version of the app you are going to patch. (Example: If you have Sync installed, and are about to patch Sync, uninstall the Sync app.)
You may want to export the settings configuration from your reddit client app before uninstalling.
Install (or update to) the latest version of the ReVanced Manager.
Download the APK
Do not install the APK after you download it!
Sync download
Boost download
Joey download from apkmonk.com (If you use the latest version there will be a popup that will only stop appearing after you click on “Learn More & Register”)
Do not install the APK after you download it!
Open the Manager > Patcher > Select an application.
Press the “Storage” button and then select the APK file that you downloaded.
Tap on the “Selected patches” card.
(Most Reddit clients only have the Spoof Client patch.)
Tap on the “Default” button and then press the gear icon by the Spoof client patch.
Enter the client ID that you copied earlier and then press “Save”. Make sure there are no extra spaces.
Press “Done” and then “Patch” and wait for it to finish.
(optional) If you want to save or share the patched APK file, you can export it by using the save button in the bottom left corner.
Install the patched APK.
If you get a pop-up from Google Play Protect while installing, press “More details” and then press “Install anyway”.
Import the settings backup into your patched Reddit client app (if you created a backup earlier).
Done!
(If needed, you can ask for assistance in the ReVanced Discord, Subreddit, or Telegram.)
Multiple Users
If you want to add multiple accounts to your patched app, go back to this page and edit the developed application. Then add your other username as a developer and press Enter on the keyboard. Then press the update button.
Basic Troubleshooting
If you get the error pictured above, enter in your credentials manually instead of pasting or auto-entering it.
Other errors when signing in
This usually means that something is wrong with your client ID configuration. Here are some common mistakes:
If you are certain that you do not have any of the issues below, create a new client ID and try again from scratch.
- The redirect URI is not EXACTLY as shown (maybe it has an extra "/", a capital letter, or you put “https” instead of “http” or vice versa.)
- The app type is not set to “Installed app”.
- You accidentally added an extra space when entering the client ID in the Manager.
- The redirect URI is set for a different application. (Example: it is set to “http://redditsync/auth” even though the client ID will be used for an app other than Sync.)
