if you're still using Twitter or ax you

can download this mod called Twitter

yes that's the actual name and it'll

make Twitter a hundred times more usable

I mean check this out once the mod is

enabled I can just long press on the X

logo at the top and then a secret menu

will pop up letting me do a bunch of

awesome new stuff like allowing me to

remove all the ads including those

promoted tweets suggested users promoted

Trends the video Carousel within the

Explorer page and a lot more basically

cleaning up the entire app of all that

unnecessary junk now unfortunately the

developers have just announced last

month that they're going to discontinue

this mod due to some Shameless

plagiarism from another developer but

their latest version which you can find

on their telegram channel does still

work on some of the more recent Twitter

versions more specifically the 10.1

release on July 31st works really well

with tweet but if you like an

alternative then continue watching now

for my Snapchat users there's also a mod

called Snap enhance when it's enabled a

new gear icon appears on the top right

corner of the chat page and when you

press it you'll be greeted with a bunch

of crazy new features make sure your

friends don't find out but you can log

all your messages so that nothing gets

deleted prevent anyone from knowing

you've opened their snaps and even stop

your bitmoji from popping up within the

chat even when you type you can also

remove the time limit for viewing snaps

block all the ads even when watching

stories download any stories or snaps

without letting the other person know

disable the spotlight page and a lot

more it's an extremely powerful mod so

make sure to use it responsibly and

safely

but unfortunately there is a string

attached both Twee and snap

enhance are exposed modules which

usually means you need to unlock your

bootloader and root your device to get

these to work but before you get mad at

me there is a workaround that not many

people know about to get these modules

working on any non-rooted device yup I'm

not joking with an app called Ellis

patch you can get almost any LS post or

Xposed modules working on a non-rooted

phone as long as it doesn't require root

access luckily some modules like Snap

enhance or Twee don't need the

Magis app to work just the ls posed app

so for us non-rooted users we're instead

using LS patch in its place toward the

end of the video I'll teach you how to

get it working on your non-rooted device

and by the way you should also consider

modding your home screen with our new

widgets and wallpapers we just released

these new ones that really make the home

screen pop and what makes our widgets

stand out from the rest is that they're

extremely customizable within the KW GT

settings no other widgets get as

detailed as ours plus we now make all

our walls compatible with foldable

phones so if you have a pixel fold

Galaxy Z fold or any other expandable

screen we've got you covered only on our

patreon link down below and if you

haven't caught on yet I'm showing off

some of the best modded apps that you

can download on your Android in 2023 if

you don't know modded apps are

essentially a reworked version of an

original app with new and improved

features they allow you to do extra

things that are usually restricted in

the official version and I know some of

you are probably wondering if this is

legal it totally is it just becomes

illegal when you start getting paid

features for free and you must know that

not every modded app is safe to use some

could include malware or other dangerous

code especially if they're not on the

Play Store and are closed Source luckily

the modded apps I'm showing off in this

video are trusted by the community many

are open source and most have a telegram

or Discord channel to reach the

developers or other active users for a

completely transparent environment so

you have nothing to worry about by the

way thanks so much for all the support

in the last video you guys showed so

much love that I decided not to include

a sponsor in this video once again so if

you're enjoying these sponsorless videos

a quick thumbs up will show me now one

of the apps that gets modded the most is

Google Chrome there are just so many

chromium-based browsers out there that

it's hard to find the best modded

version for me it used to be bromite I

love that it kept all the familiar

Google Chrome looks and basic features

but also removed all those unnecessary

trackers and privacy and basic

properties it even added a few useful

features of its own like an ad blocking

engine supporting a lot more Chrome

Flags allowing videos to play in the

background when switching tabs

Etc the only problem is the developers

have become inactive and the app hasn't

received an update since last year

luckily a fork version of bromide just

got released called chromite obviously

the similar name pretty much says it all

but you get all the same features that

Rome might has and a few more it has

been updated to support the latest

chromium version so you're getting all

the latest Google Chrome features it's

also way more privacy driven with a lot

more patches done underneath the hood

and a much more powerful ad blocker it

just got released last month and it's

already one of the best browsers I've

used yet can't wait to see how much

better Chrome I get down the line

Instagram also has several mods but my

favorite has always been in standard I

mean it just looks and feels exactly

like the original Instagram app but with

many extra features for example it lets

you block all the ads enables you to

download posts and stories uh turns off

red receipts and live typing only on

your end lets you watch stories and live

streams anonymously

improves the quality of all the content

within the app lets you enable monitor

theming and even allows you to add an

indicator in someone's profile to know

if they're following you there's a lot

more where that came from there's even

an entire developer options page when

you long press the home button it's a

Well Done mod the only downside is that

it's a closed Source app the only thing

that makes it acceptable is the large

number of people that have been using it

for a while and haven't experienced any

problems with their Instagram accounts

or data and they had multiple telegram

channels for open communication with

other users and devs but again no

guarantees are given when it's closed

sourced I mean it couldn't be worse than

what Facebook meta already does with

your data that I'm just saying speaking

of telegram how about we get a modded

version of that I found two fantastic

mods nicogram and Nico X both are really

feature packed and each have several

advantages over the other I'd say Nico X

does a way better job of letting you

customize a ton more tiny little things

like disabling the vibration connecting

to a public proxy and having a much more

powerful translation tool it's the

perfect option for anyone who's been

using telegram for a while and has

always wanted to tweak tiny little

things here and there to improve the

overall experience

Nico Graham on the other hand is a bit

more polished it's on the Play store and

it gets updated a lot faster so you're

getting the most up-to-date features of

the official telegram app it's also a

lot more organized for example even

though both mods let you add custom

emoji packs Nico Graham already provides

unique sets to choose from which doesn't

force you to start searching the web for

your own and it even comes with its own

exclusive advantages like letting you

change the double type action for a chat

boosting the upload speed somehow and

more so if you're not looking to get

really extreme with customization but

still want some decent wiggle room Nico

Graham is the better alternative how

about Discord well there are also many

modded versions out there but the best

one that is most of the date is vendetta

like most Discord modded apps this one

lets you customize the theme and install

different plugins created by the

community a lot of which are really

useful you just join bennetta's Discord

page and then when you switch to the

plugins Channel you'll get a list of all

the creation

some of my favorites include favorite

gifts which lets me save any gifts that

I come across to use later compact mode

to see a lot more messages in a single

glance and Spotify preview to get a 30

second preview of any song that people

link with any conversation without

leaving the app but that's just the tip

of the iceberg there are so many more

plugins that you can try out then if you

switch to the themes channel here you'll

get a list of custom themes to spice

things up I personally love using both

con because it themes both the dark and

light themes really well and to install

a theme or plug-in you need to tap on a

post go to the first post message then

tap on the GitHub download link It's

usually the first link at the top then

you'll get a pop-up to install it once

you do you can enable the theme or

Plugin by going to your account

scrolling down to plugins or themes and

in those menus you can enable them some

even give you settings to configure so

look carefully

surprisingly even the play store has

modded apps sort of they're more like

open source Alternatives but they work

the same way letting you download the

same apps except for paid ones two of

the best are Aurora store and APK mirror

APK mirror is a website but it's really

handy if you need to revert back to an

older version of an app in case you're

having problems with the latest release

and you can find almost any application

on this website as long as it's free on

the Play Store it's also a very reliable

source trusted by many so any apps you

download here will be the official apks

Aurora stories a great alternative if

you prefer to use an app it's pretty

straightforward to use since it's got

that basic App Store layout it also

doesn't require you to sign into

anything but if you do sign in with your

Google account you can access your paid

apps and install paid apps you still

can't buy apps though but it's the

closest you can get to replacing the

Google Play Store without pirating

anything I even love that you can

connect shizuku to update or install any

apps seamlessly

if we dig even deeper into the world of

third-party app stores F Droid is by far

the most popular one it's filled with

millions of free open source apps most

of which you can't even find on the Play

store and get this there are even modded

apps for Appdroid talk about layers upon

layers my favorite is droidify because

it provides a material youth theme and

it has all the apps that F Droid has

hell it even carries a ton of other

repositories letting you explore a whole

new universe of apps and for that cherry

on top it integrates shizuku for

seamless updates in the background

okay let's get to everyone's favorite

rebence manager it's by far one of the

most powerful modded apps that you can

install because it lets you modify

almost any app out there especially if

you have root because it unlocks even

more unique features and by the way if

you were looking for an alternative to

Twee this is it the way it works

is you hop into the Patcher tab select

any application you'd like to modify for

some like Tick Tock or Reddit you may

need to download the APK off apkmear.com

because revised manager isn't able to

handle split apks unless you're rooted

afterward it'll show you all the

different patches that will be

implemented inside the app some apps

have more patches than others and each

one has a unique set of patches but

usually it'll remove the ads skip the

login and remove any annoying features

once you're ready just hit the patch

button and it'll start the integration

finally hit install and then you can

open the app with the freshly installed

mod months it's that easy

finally let's talk about one of the best

stock launchers on Android the pixel

launcher it's loved by many but there

are still a few things that most of us

would like to see changed that's why

there are so many modded Alternatives

out there for both rooted and non-rooted

users for non-rooted users you need to

switch to a third-party launcher that

looks similar to the pixel launcher

that's the only choice you have if you

want extra customization and the best

options out there are either Nova

Launcher or launcher 12. I already

reviewed and even compared both

launchers side by side so if you want to

learn more I'll leave those videos in

the cards

but if you're rooted with magisk you can

instead turn to a mod called pixel

launcher extended this module lets you

update the look of the attic lamps

widget and even change the look of some

of its alerts you get many more grid

options it supports way more themed

icons lets you change the icon shape

brings down the app drawer search bar

for easier use with one hand and much

more hell it even lets you install a

second app called pixel Launcher mods

which brings even more awesome changes

like letting you replace the added Labs

widgets and Google search bar with

another widget you can also hide apps in

the app drawer customize the background

blur and the overview page and more

anyways those are the best modded apps

that you can download on your Android in

2023 as promised let me show you how to

enable Ellis patch to get those xpos

modules like Twee fire or snap enhance

properly working on your non-rooted

device

first download and install LS patch I'll

link it down below along with all the

other mods and apps that I mentioned

then you'll need to enable Alice patch

with the shizuku app if you're unsure

how to do that I'll link a video within

the cards where I show off how to

properly set it up

but once shizuka was enabled within LS

patch you must uninstall Twitter or

SnapChat depending on what mod you want

to use so if you want to use tweefer

uninstall your Twitter app or if you're

trying to use snap enhance uninstall

Snapchat from there download and install

twifa or snap enhance

then download the latest stable version

of the official Snapchat app off APK

mirror but don't install it

for Twitter you did sending to download

an older version like 10.1 since Twitter

is discontinued

then once you download it but don't

install it open Ellis patch and hit the

plus icon it's going to have you create

a new folder in your directory so do

that and you can call it whatever then

tap on use this folder hit allow and tap

select apks from storage and then look

for the Snapchat or Twitter file you

download it from APK mirror it should be

within your download folder

thank you

once you select it you'll be greeted by

this page in here tap on portable then

select embed modules and then select the

mod that goes with your app so if you're

doing Snapchat select snap enhance or if

you're doing Twitter pick Twitter then

hit the check mark enable override

version code if you like the option to

downgrade the installation in the future

then hit start patch it'll integrate the

mod inside the APK and once it's done

you can hit install and that's it you

should now have the mods enabled within

Snapchat or Twitter you just need to log

back into your accounts and

unfortunately if you want to update

either app in the future you will need

to repeat this process so if you don't

want to do that make sure to disable

auto update within the app's play store

listing and again just to remind you

this process works with some other LS

post mods but do this at your own risk

anyways click this video right here to

see the best Android app Series so that

way you can get even more incredible

apps thumbs up if you download at least

one app from this entire list thanks for

watching and I'll catch you guys in the

next one kapow
