nikitasius/Telegraher noshit_8.3.1

Yeah, well... I'm gonna go build my own theme park, with blackjack and hookers.

Telegraher

No one gets to decide what i run on my device
No one gets to decide where i run my app
No one gets to decide what must be deleted

This is my device so i control it 😎

This app have nothing with privacy, it's remotely controlled. It's pissing me off, so i changed
that.

I took an original Telegram client from "official" repo and
made my own theme park with blackjack and hoookers.

Special thanks:

my wife and my dog, love them 🍑
mr Rodríguez for the inspiration
some anonymous folks over the telegram for the great ideas (can't share their names here, cause
they are anonymous)
"Telegram🦄magic🦄team" for their "magic🦄updates" including ~~private~~ chats and "magic🦄ads"

WTF?! / is it legit?

Follow the ~~white rabbit~~ the git flow:

i took and forked the original client
i cloned the latest master branch (with 8.3.1 patch) into master_8.3.1
i made another branch noshit_8.3.1 from master_8.3.1, it contain changes

It gives us telegram -> master -> master_8.3.1 -> noshit_8.3.1

So all the code changes are in noshit_8.3.1.

Detailed summary / noshit_8.3.1

DISABLED ADS
- YES!!1

EVERY element have save to downloads/save to gallery
- messages are elements too, you still can click but cannot save them into downloads
  - however i do not recomment this
- use it wisely
6 accounts instead of 3
- client support upto 6 accounts
  - ~~on the 1st run when you type phone number and continue it can throw an API error~~
    - error was only on the version with 16 accounts
      - to get more accounts w/o having problems with TGs api need to change the App's
        flow
    - in case of an error close the error by clicking OK and let it relax for 5 minutes
    - continue and log in
DISABLED REMOTE DELETIONS
- NO more deletions via GCM PUSHES (chats and messages), WTF 💩
- NO more deletions in groups and channels

- NO more "history wipe" or chat deletions
  - history/messages remains where they are
  - chat becomes inactive if other folks are deleted it for them and/or for you
FULL ACCESS in "restrict saving content" chats
- screenshots, gif imports, media saving
- DO NOT save GIFS via saving gifs
  - just click on them and choose "save to gallery"
  - after this share this media no matter where as a video file WITHOUT sound
  - it will become a GIF in your collection
- you can't forward message as is due it use telegram API and their server will block
  it, so save/copy
  - save GIF / forward message ARE using telegrams API, while SHARING or DOWNLOADING not
FULL ACCESS in secret chats (GREEN ONES!)
- you can download any medias and documents
- you can take screenshots or record your screen
  - WTF apple can do that, we can do it too!
KEEP CACHED chats
- cached chats are always with you even if you're BANNED
  - once banned you will get a message about this
  - you can navigate in chat where you was banned using your cache
  - to remove cached chat you must delete it ("leave that chat")
- even when when you restart your app it will load cached chats
HISTORY in private chats
- message separated inside by RFC1123 timestamp field
- when someone will send you a PM and will change it, while you in chat you will see edited as
  usual
  - to see changes you need to close/open this chat
    - this will be probably fixed in future (display in real time changes)
- this also affect bots, so when your bots edit their messages, you will see old/new versions
NO MORE edit_hide
- telegram can send you messages with edit_hide==true to hide what this message has been
  edited
- now if message contains signs of editions it will marked
DISABLED emulator detections
- idk why the client use this, but i disabled it
- if i want to run it on emulator telegram no need to know it
APP name changed & APP icon changed & APP package changed
- of you want to run using old name just rollback those commits and build the app
APPs api & hash are changed for legit TG client
