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, then prepend emoji_ to their names (for f in * ; do mv -- "$f" "emoji_$f" ; done).
• Get rid of -fe0f on filenames to fix render of some emojis (find . -name '*png' -exec bash -c ' mv $0 ${0/-fe0f/}' {} \;, lots of mv errors will happen, that's fine).
• Clone this repo somewhere, edit emojireplace.sh and set the variables to the folders you want it to run on.

Building an patched discord app

• Get a Discord apk (cough aptoide), and get all the necessary patches and the optional patches you want for that version. If the patches aren't available, you'll have to port them yourself.
• Apply the patches (patch -p1 < <patch name>).
• Edit emojireplace.sh to point to right directories, and apply emoji patches (bash emojireplace.sh)
• 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!
