Yesterday I showed you all how to patch the Relay for Reddit application so that it will continue to work even after the new API changes went into effect on July 1st. Today, I want to continue with this series and show you how to fix the Boost for Reddit application on Android so that it will work as well.
To begin, we need to visit the Reddit Apps page.
Once here, click the Create App button.
From here, we want to give our app a name.
I'll be naming this one Boost since it's for that application.
And then we need to enter the correct Redirect URI.
For the Boost for Reddit app, the redirect URI should be. . .
[ Ссылка ]
The other fields can be left blank.
Click the Create App button here and it should generate a client ID for you.
You'll want to look for a string of 22 letters/numbers on this page in the newly created app.
Now we need to copy this string and paste it inside a newly created txt file.
It just needs to contain this 22 character string, it needs to be named
reddit_client_id_revanced.txt
And it needs to be stored in the root directory of your device.
Now we're going to download the APK file for the Boost for Reddit application.
We need to download the APK file for the app, but make sure it is NOT installed right now.
If you already have boost for reddit installed on your device, it will need to be uninstalled before you can installed the patched one.
Now we're going to download the ReVanced Manager application from the official github page.
Let's open up ReVanced Manager here.
If this is your first time using the app, you'll see a prompt asking to grant the app permission to access your files, and to install APK files. You will also see a prompt that suggests you allow the app to ignore Android's battery optimization feature. This one can be ignored since we don't need it running in the background, but you can allow it if you'd like.
With this done, tap the Patcher tab down here at the bottom.
Then let's select an application.
Pick the Storage button down here in the corner.
And find the APK file for the Boost for Reddit application that we downloaded earlier.
Now we need to tap the Select Patches option.
And the only patch we need to enable is the Change Oauth Client ID one.
As long as that txt file has been named properly, and it's stored in the root directory, everything should go smoothly when we tap the Patch button here.
After ReVanced Manager has finished patching the APK file, we can install it directly from here
Or we can tap the 3-dot menu icon and export the modified APK file.
Exporting the patched version is a great idea if you want to install the app on multiple devices.
Which is common with people who browse reddit on their smartphone as well as their tablet.
Either way, after sideloading the APK file, we can open it up and it will work like normal again.
Personally, I understand why Reddit began charging for access to its API, but it's clear that they are charging way too much in an attempt to kill these 3rd-party apps.
Thankfully, we can use this process to patch our favorite Reddit application with a client ID that is tied to our own account.
It is free, at the time of recording this video, since reddit doesn't charge people for personal access to this API
This could change in the future if the company feels it is being abused. But this is what the client ID for personal accounts are for. So I don't think anything will change with this.
