Discord Android app patches.

Automatically patched binaries are available on distok.a3.pm/cutthecord.

Toolchain setup

• Get apktool
• Get a keystore, see here, step 1.
• Get 72x72 copies of latest version of mutant standard emojis with codepoints. I have a zip here.
• Extract the emojis you got somewhere.
• Clone this repo somewhere, edit emojireplace.py and set the extracted_mutstd_path folder to the folder you just extracted emojis to.

Building an patched discord app

• Get a Discord apk (cough apkmirror, aptoide API).
• Extract it with apktool (apktool d <apk path>)
• Get all the necessary patches for that version. Necessary patches are not available for all versions and are only required to get some versions to pack together correctly.
• Get optional patches you want for your version. If the patch you want isn't available for your version, you'll have to port them yourself.
• Apply the patches (patch -p1 < <patch name>).
• Edit emojireplace.py to point to extracted discord folder (extracted_discord_path), and apply emoji patches (python3 emojireplace.py)
• Build the new APK (apktool b com.discord-831)
• Sign the new APK (jarsigner -keystore <keystore path> <foldername>/dist/<foldername>.apk <alias>)
• Get your new APK from <foldername>/dist/<foldername>.apk, install and enjoy!
