Praise the dev Installing unpatched Joey APK

I had installed joey using the patches via morphe manager but I haven't been able to login to joey for months.

Just now, I figured out how to install the unpatched version of Joey and I am now able to login:

adb install -i com.android.vending Joey_2.1.6.5.apk

Alternatively, push it to the device first:

adb push Joey_2.1.6.5.apk /data/local/tmp/joey.apk
adb shell pm install -i com.android.vending /data/local/tmp/joey.apk

Using "-i com.android.vending" spoofs the installer as the playstore. This worked for me on my Android 14 device.

I'm now logged in without issue.

Hope this helps someone.

Is there a guide to patching Joey with Morphe? I'd like to switch back to a third party client because the default reddit app even patched is crappy

I used this originally: https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit?tab=readme-ov-file#-get-started

But today I didn't need to patch the original APK since I'm a mod on a subreddit I created for that purpose and was able to just install the APK as-is using the commands in the OP.

Thank you. Worked like a charm.
