Incase you were not aware, there is a new fork of Revanced which is more properly maintained. It's called Morphe. (morphe.software)

From what I understand, this needs to have the base vendor app (YT, YT Music, Reddit) installed before, right?

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 15 Mar 17:42 next collapse

Yes and it’s a bit misleading, you need microg installed.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al on 15 Mar 17:45 collapse

Why would you need YouTube installed to install a patched version of YouTube?

The MicroG observation is a real one though.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al on 15 Mar 17:43 next collapse

Nope, you just need the APK

alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works on 15 Mar 17:44 collapse

Not really. You just gotta install Micro G from their own git repo and patch it. Just like revanced.

What was wrong with how ReVanced was maintained? What are the differences in philosophy and governance with this project?

alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works on 16 Mar 15:39 collapse

Drama occurred within the Revanced team, so it was forked yet again into Morphe.

Sorry, but that doesn’t really clarify. Sometimes, “drama” is justified. What was the conflict actually about? How do we know that the Morphe devs were actually on the right side of it?

It between the project owner and the main contributors. The main contributors say the owner is very toxic and does not push their changes even after months. Hence they all left and created the fork and sttarted working on it. The actual reason is out there somewhere, just gotta search for it.

Looks very decent - I’ve just been using Brave for background plays & ad blocking so far.
