 - Get apktool
 - Get a keystore, see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/14994354/3286892), step 1.
 - Get 72x72 copies of latest version of mutant standard emojis with codepoints. I have a zip [here](https://mutant.lavatech.top/72x72.zip).
-- 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](https://ws75.aptoide.com/api/7/app/getMeta?package_name=com.discord)), 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.
+- Get a Discord apk (*cough* [aptoide](https://ws75.aptoide.com/api/7/app/getMeta?package_name=com.discord)).
+- 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.sh` to point to right directories, and apply emoji patches (`bash emojireplace.sh`)
+- 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!
