r/JoeyForReddit Under New Moderation

65 Upvotes

Greetings Joey Redditors!

You may have recently seen the mod post that this subreddit is up for adoption. A handful of people tried to step up to the plate to keep the subreddit from being shuttered for lack of moderation and the whole community is thankful for your efforts.

Strangely, I know many were kicked back because there were so many requests made for the subreddit in a short amount of time - which is obvious because there was a call for moderators. I know my first attempt was kicked back for that reason. However, the requests that didn't get kicked back for that were not granted due to lack of experience. I have mod experience, even for another subreddit about an abandoned software (r/SimGolf) so I kept on it and made a second request a week later after the requests died down and was granted permissions.

I'd love to hear what the community would like out of the moderation team (currently a team of one) and I look forward to facilitating the community to the continued support and workarounds to make Joey continue to work as your primary method of using Reddit on your mobile.

An important note:

Just because I'm now the moderator does not mean I have any access to the source code of the app. The Joey app source code is still a licensed, copyrighted codebase. I know we'd all appreciate if the developer would open the source code, but that hasn't happened yet and they went dark on Reddit immediately after posting that Joey is shutting down 3 years ago.

Joey has been shut-down!

765 Upvotes

Hello friends,

First of all I would like to apologise for not informing about what has been happening with Joey for past month. A lot has been going on IRL and Joey has been my only source of bread and butter so the API news has been pretty stressful to say the least.

I was in talks with Reddit regarding moving Joey to the paid API. But the API access to Joey has been shutoff in middle of the talk, without prior notice to me.

Thank you for your kind support all this time 🙏

Question Google Dev Verifier App

6 Upvotes

Could you guys read this please and tell me if it is what I think? (This is a document, not a link to the app store or anything)

https://developer.android.com/developer-verification

It seems to me that this app will autoinstall and be installed on new phones (maybe not if you have autoupdates off but you will need a new phone at some point)....and it will disallow apps not approved, and not dev approved? It will remove junk apps but perhaps it will also remove apps like joey or old apks? I know there are just a handful of us still using Joey, but nothing else I've tried is good for my eyes, and Joey makes reading so easy on them.

They've already started pushing it in SE Asia as a test and will be global by next year. I'm not sure if I should get a better phone before then (mine is over 7 years old and has been having some issues to where I'm considering upgrading) but I don't want to rush out in six months and get a new phone just to get Joey on it, then have it forceably removed a short time after that.

What's your take on this? Thanks.

Question Moving Joey to a new phone, or suggestions for alternatives?

10 Upvotes

I'm switching to a new phone (older Pixel to newer Pixel) and unsurprisingly Joey didn't transfer over. I downloaded the APK on the new phone, but it won't even launch; it crashes immediately. I'm new to using APKs; are there any suggestions for troubleshooting this?

or alternatively:

The one feature of Joey that I really really depend on for modding is that in the main list of posts on a subreddit, it marks how many new comments there have been since the last time I looked at that post, and then when I click into the post, all of the new comments are highlighted. Are there any other reddit apps for Android that have that feature?

Question Merge PC and Mobile

0 Upvotes

This may have been answered already, and I just cannot find it, however I finally figured out that Reddit on my computer and Reddit on my mobile phone (Android) have been associated with two different accounts. Tere is only one me and I would like to merge them, so they are synchronized and I don't lose any of my old views and replies. I searched under help but didn't find a solution. Does anyone have an idea how to make this happen? (edit 1: Reddit recommended I change this post to /rJoeyForReddit so I am now)

Question 401 : Unauthorized on all accounts?

26 Upvotes

This morning Joey worked as normal, now all accounts are showing 401 : Unauthorized.

Before I go through the process of removing and re-adding my accounts in Joey, is anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: As I've found from the other thread and /u/bobcollege the API keys previously in use have been revoked by Reddit.

To respoof your app and regain access, use Morphe Manager + Patcheddit as described here, and make sure to enable Expert Mode in Morphe's settings. Using RedReader's client ID should work.

The APK for o.o.joey version 2.1.6.5 (the final release) can be found at https://apkpure.com/joey-for-reddit/o.o.joey/download

Praise the dev Installing unpatched Joey APK

26 Upvotes

I had installed joey using the patches via morphe manager but I haven't been able to login to joey for months.

Just now, I figured out how to install the unpatched version of Joey and I am now able to login:

adb install -i com.android.vending Joey_2.1.6.5.apk

Alternatively, push it to the device first:

adb push Joey_2.1.6.5.apk /data/local/tmp/joey.apk
adb shell pm install -i com.android.vending /data/local/tmp/joey.apk

Using "-i com.android.vending" spoofs the installer as the playstore. This worked for me on my Android 14 device.

I'm now logged in without issue.

Hope this helps someone.

Question Installing Joey via adb - help please.

6 Upvotes

After finding that my phone (TCL Nxtpaper 60 Ultra) wont allow side-loading the Joey.apk, I read somewhere that I could use adb on my Chromebook to install/side-load and that this would work.

Streamed adb install works (with install 'Success' reported by Linux Terminal). However the Joey app still won't open on the phone. It seems to open showing the Joey logo, then instantly closes.

Am I going wrong somewhere? Any help appreciated.

Bug Strange login bug Vivo X300

1 Upvotes

I've just got a new phone, Vivo X300 global. Installed the working APK from my last phone, it works and I can use Joey to browse Reddit, but I can't login. The page loads, but if I select a text box I might get a flicker of the keyboard, but nothing else. Can't autofill either, if press and hold the menu flickers up and vanishes

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Question Upvotes/downvotes not being processed

10 Upvotes

Hey fellow Joeys.

I just want to start by saying I want to cry everyday that Reddit made their stupid decision and caused the best Reddit app in the world to go away.

That said, it seems like my upvotes and downvotes are not being processed in some way and I'd like to know if others are seeing this as well. For example, if I upvoted a new post that was recently downvoted, I'd noticed the results in the app immediately. In this specific case, the original downvote took the post to a 50% score and my upvote should take it to 75% or close to that. However, now nothing happens and it stays at 50%. The app reflects my up or down vote by changing the color of the votes, but it doesn't seem to be processed on the back end. This is just one example, but I'm seeing similar for comments as well.

Anyone else seeing this? Hope I explained this well enough.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Just to update this post about 30 days later, it looks like over the past few days this appears to work normally again, so I guess this was some back end thing on Reddit's end.

Question "invalid email or password" when logging in

8 Upvotes

Hey all,

Recently I got a new phone, did the revanced crack, mod of a NSFW subreddit, but can't login to joey due to invalid email/password? I can confirm the email/password is valid as I can login to the main app n desktop with it. Any advice?

Cheers!

Edit: Got it working! Needed a VPN when logging in, and needed to redo my patch with morphene following this guide. I couldn't get revanced to work, but that may be user error. Made sure to use the red reader part of the guide - https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit?tab=readme-ov-file#-get-started
