## CutTheCord: Patch List
This is the list of patches available for CutTheCord. Have an idea? Open an issue, and I'll get to work. PRs are also welcome!
The patches with **bold** names are the ones I'm most proud of.
---
- **bettertm**: Replaces the :tm: and :registered: emojis with rendered unicode variants, making them look much better.
Before bettertm:

After bettertm:
![very readable tm and r characters](https://elixi.re/i/nzx9kghi.png)
- bettertmlight: same thing as bettertm, but designed for light theme users.
- blobs: Replaces official twemoji emojis with blobs
![Emoji drawer with blobs](https://elixi.re/i/0s9e9brg.png)
- branding: Changes app's name from Discord to a custom name, changes app icon to a custom image, changes version number to account better for cutthecord's release schedule (and fixes a captcha link). Also enables backup and debug abilities. This is automatically built into all branches.

(that's not the official logo of CutTheCord, it's simply one I have on my own branch)
- customdefaultemoji: Changes default emojis, which show up in a couple places. It's uesd to insert star into the list, as many bots have starboards.
- customfont: Has instructions for changing the font used.

- customring: Has instructions for changing the ringtone.

- **customtheme**: Allows setting a custom theme. The one on repo is a pitch black theme, with green links and red accent theme.

(square avatars are not a part of this patch, scroll down to `squareavatars` if you're looking for them)
- customversion: Changes the version string in settings to include branch information. This is automatically built into all branches.

- disable-mobileindicator: This is the patch inspired me to start working on CutTheCord. It makes your device act like a desktop client, and disables the "mobile indicator" on discord. However, this breaks notifications.
- experiments: Enables some dev-only things, like developer options tab or a secret staff-only, half-assed AMOLED-optimized theme called "pure evil". The developer options tab does not work.

- **litecord**: Changes the server the app connects to, and specifically tries to connect to a Litecord server. [Litecord is a FOSS re-implementation of Discord's backend.](https://wildcard.elixi.re/i/l3lxhd3a.png)
![Litecord screenshot](https://wildcard.elixi.re/i/l3lxhd3a.png)
- **mutant**: Replaces official twemoji emojis with [mutant standard emojis](https://mutant.tech/), and injects custom mutantstd emojis to the app. Second patch I ever developed!

- necessary: Does some necessary things that may be required to get the app running properly, not available for every version, but is automatically built into all branches.
- noblocked: Hides blocked messages and the "# blocked messages" thingy. Useful for those of us who just can't resist tapping those.
- nonearby: Intentionally breaks "add nearby people" feature.
- noprofilestrip: Hides your username and discriminator from the "profile strip" on the left bar. Useful to potentially avoid bans.
![An image of noprofilestrip](https://wildcard.elixi.re/i/zqcunmxi.png)
- nospoiler: Automatically shows all spoilers. Useful for moderation.
- **notrack**: Disables most of the tracking in Discord. Included in all official branches.
- nozlib: Disables zlib-stream field on wss, making it easier to parse wss communications when MITMing the app.
![Pure evil setting](https://elixi.re/i/f1e7t1y0.png)
- **supplemental**: Adds some helper functions needed by certain patches.
- **slashcommands**: Adds a lot of slash commands (all the decent ones on desktop and more), alongside some other useful features such as an account switcher. Also allows enabling or disabling a couple patches such as `channelleak` (shows all channel names and topics, even those you lack the permissions to read) or `notyping` (disables sending typing event to discord servers). I'm quite proud of this patch :p [Read its own README.md for more information](slashcommands/README.md).

- **squareavatars**: Adds square avatars. Because circles are for losers.

(pitch black theme is not a part of this patch, scroll up to `customtheme` if you're looking for it)
- **tokenlogin**: Allows logging in with just a token, instead of having to enter email, password, do 2FA, do captcha and possibly also tap a link on email. Especially useful when you don't have gapps as it allows skipping captcha (which relies on GMS).
