Short URL Resolver handles the short URLs typically used in social networks: t.co, goo.gl, bit.ly, etc.
Why would you need a (big) web browser to open a Youtube video. Click this link on your Android phone: Video (Then try again after installing this app to see the difference).
Sure, there are other apps that do this, but I think mine has unique features:
Doesn't get in the way: It's small (~200kb). Minimal user interface. Does exactly 1 thing and does it right.
Handles Facebook's external links. Tired of launching the browser to open a m.facebook.com?l.php URL? No more.
Handles Youtube's attribution links. These should be handled by the Youtube app (Google's fault). Short URL Resolver handles them for you, so you get to see the video on the Youtube app. No browser involved.
Handles Tapatalk api click links.
Handles Google.com/url links. They are used in the Play Store descriptions, for example.
Also, it's free, and ad-free. You can make an in-app donation if you feel it's worth it.
It doesn't use any third party service for resolving the URLs. The basic principle is making an HTTP request and determining where it's being redirected.
It's my first public Android App, but I think it's the best of its kind (you can try and prove me wrong X-D)
Download
I'm also attaching the latest version to this post, for those that can't access the Google Play Store.
Just updated to support Tapatalk links... I didn't notice those api click links Tapatalk generates until I was testing this thread
Really awesome! Certainly the best, there isn't any other app that works so ****ing good. It makes easier moving between apps and improve the workflow. Thanks a lot, keep going!
How does this compare to CrappaLinks. I know that this one doesn't require root/xposed...But my question is what benefits/advantage does this offer over CrappaLinks for people who are already rooted and have xposed??
Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Well i think its only advantage is for non rooted users and redirects bit.ly and goo.gl, i personally use crappalinks and doesnt seem to work on those but im not sure since i dont click on alot of links

I'm the author of CrappaLinks. If you're already using CrappaLinks: you can use it for apps that may not be supported by CrappaLinks, or use it for shortened URLs (as CrappaLinks doesn't unshorten URLs yet.) It's also useful if you come across a shortened/masked link in a document or similar.
CrappaLinks removes masking from *specific* apps that mask your links. This app can be used anywhere for unmasking *and* unshortening.
I personally use it alongside CrappaLinks, for the reasons I've mentioned above.

Gotcha. Do you plan on adding universal link unmasking to CrappaLinks in future? Or just adding support for individual apps? (Support for slickdeals app would be great). The reason why I ask this is because the url shortner service that app uses is blocked by Adblock and because of that I can't open ANY links from that app. Also same with adf(dot)ly links
Regardless I'll be using this alongside CrappaLinks that way most if not all links on my phone will be unmasked regardless of the app. Thanks @op for this.
Edit
Even after installing this app....slickdeals redirect urls don't work.
Edit 2: Here is a sample redirecting link from slickdeals app http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-122526...5267-_-Home%2520Depot%2520Product%2520Catalog

Putting it in very simple terms, the only way to unshorten these URLs is:
"Open" the URL -> See if the "destination" is different
This requires a connection to the host that is shortening the URLs. If you're blocking it (by using Adblock for example,) it's not possible to connect at all, so all unshortening apps will fail as well.
You may be able to white list whatever hosts you want in Adblock. Check their help pages and see for yourself, not sure.
About CrappaLinks requests, please ask in the CrappaLinks thread as to keep this one on topic.

Hi... I'll try to add support for those URLs... Shouldn't take long.
I have a beta testing community on g+ ( sorry it's private and I cannot make it public now). Send me a message and I'll invite you if you want to test early versions.

Just installed slickdeals app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.slickdeals.android), but the URLs generated by the app aren't like yours... Example:
http://slickdeals.net/?sdtrk=android&api_key_id=872706&pno=112586&lno=1
You see the destination URL is not visible there (I have to contact their server to get it).... Also, there URL is too generic to add it to the manifest. I.e., I don't want to handle all links to slickdeals.net... just the ones that mask redirection links.
http://slickdeals.net/click?whatever (good, I can match the /click prefix)
http://slickdeals.ne/?whatever (bad, too generic, would catch urls that arent redirections)

Thanks for looking into this for me. I just upgraded the app to the latest version.
And it turns out...It uses 2 redirects.
First when you click on a link from the app.. It uses this http://slickdeals.net/?sdtrk=android&api_key_id=1779234&pno=112588&lno=1 just like what you mentioned above.
And then that above link redirects like this... http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-122526...20Product%2520Catalog&quantity=1&str_nbr=2659
As you can see clicking on both of the above links redirects you to the same page...But the second redirection "www.jdoqocy.com" happens really fast..so that's why its hard to see. I hope this helps.
Basically whenever I click a link from the app... the first redirection "slickdeals.net/?..." to "www.jdoqocy.com" happens automatically but the second redirection doesn't happen because of the Adblock. I tried adding "jdoqocy.com" to Whitelist on Adblock but that messes up app itself.
Looks like www.jdoqocy.com is owned by Commission Junction, so I guess its pay per click or something.
P.S. Fuerteventura looks like an awesome island. I hope to check it out someday.
Could you add a small feature to Just remove the adf(dot)ly part from urls? Some forums use ONLY adf urls, and it's annoying, they're in the format adf(dot)ly/ActualURL Thanks!

Can you provide some sample URLs? I just tried to shorten a url with their service, and I don't see the original URL anywhere
http://*******/IFOc0 <= this will get you to www.google.es after the spam.
UPDATE: It seems that site is forbiden here. Anyway, you can see that the URL path is just IF0c0...

The shortened urls have no relation to the actual url whatsoever, but some forums use scripts to convert all links to this format:
Examples:
http://*******/1474226/http://lukemovement.wordpress.com
http://*******/1474226/http://newsplus.co/features/
The destination url is in the Long url itself.
The asterisks are adf (dot) ly, as this these links cannot be posted on xda.
For the shortened url however, this service can be used to bypass the Ad, maybe it will be useful: de-ads.net
you can paste links on this page to go directly to the destination page....
Thanks a lot for considering this man!

That's something up to the Ebay app developers. Currently their app is registered to handle only these urls patterns, according to the AndroidManifest.xml file:
http://pages.ebay.com/android/item/view/
http://pages.ebay.com/android/item/query/
http://www.ebay.com/motors/garage/pub/vehicle/
http://www.ebay.com/mtr/garage/pub/vehicle/
Unless the URL is in that format, the ebay app won't do anything to open it.

Feedly URLs
Hi,
Excellent app!
Just so you know: Feedly shortens URLs under some circumstances.
It gives a you URL like this:
feedly (dot) com/e/lTWp53yG (I'm new so no URLs for me!)
which redirects to some random Techdirt article.
Would it be possible to add support for those too?
Feedly also uses those shortened URLs when sharing articles. I have no idea how Android's sharing infrastructure works, but it'd be nice to be able to "share" them with your app so they could get de-crappified. (Yeah, this would add some steps to the sharing process, but I'd rather go through a few more steps than share obfuscated URLs.)
Hey Friends and Valuable XDA Members. I am a new developer and constantly looking for innovative ideas to start working on making an app. So when I found it I didn't waste time making one
The IDEA
So I was shuffling through pages of Android Communication apps on facebook like snapchat and kik and found a similarity in the comments of their posts, people used to comment their usernames on these posts, IT rang a bell in my mind and I am thinking that alright so these people want to chat and they don't have a platform to share their usernames and connect with people having similar interests, So I started coding.
The APP
I tried to code it from scratch and as close to material design as I can without compromising on compatibility with legacy and older android version devices. Works on android 4.0+ IceCream Sandwhich and above
Description
Socialize is the best place to share your social usernames like Kik, Snapchat and Whatsapp.
Connect with people having similar interests.
Wanna know who is interested in photography and wants to chat? you can get the usernames of those interested people and share photography tips! or maybe some recipes of cooking! or you just want to chat randomly! You can get unlimited entertainment. Plus we provide support and accept feature requests. If you want any feature or discover a bug we are committed in fixing them as soon as possible.
★★★Features:★★★
-- Submit your social username (kik, snapchat, whatsapp, website)
-- View profiles with similar interests
-- Automatically copy usernames to clipboard
-- Over 500+ profiles already added !!
-- You can date your partner without the hassle of a third party app.
-- More usernames will be added daily
For support/bugs/feature requests please contact [email protected] or reply to this thread. I am very eager to know what you thing about this Also if you like the ideas please rate my app on playstore so I get some attention :laugh:
How I Monetize? I have implemented pollfish surveys in my app! So if you use the app and find a survey please answer those as it will help my my hard work
Download:
play. google . com/store/apps/details?id=com.koochiekoo.socialize
Remove Spaces Between dots " . " from the link above
I am open to any questions, criticism, feedback, feature requests, appraisals, comments, etc. Please feel free to write them below

Hello people, this is my first ever thread so please support me.
There are many threads here which provide Whatsapp calling using terminal or getting an invite
But, these things are no longer required just download this apk from Whatsapp's website or apkmirror and you will get the calling feature!

I have had many people ask questions about how to use this website, so i thought i would take the time to make a guide to help out newer members that may be confused or overwhelmed by the wealth of information here. Hopefully this will help you to make a quick transition from a new member to an experienced member. I am basing this off of the website version (Dark theme 2015) on PC as it seems to be the most confusing for people. If you are using the mobile site, or app, then some of these options may not be available or may be located in a slightly different place. I have also left a few things out for the sake of simplicity. After reading this thread feel free to ask any questions that you have and i will try my best to clear things up. Some of the things we will discuss are...
~Settings
~How to set up your profile and preferences
~How to make friends
~How to graduate to a Member, Senior Member, and more
~How to make a signature
~What does my profile look like to others?
~Notifications
~How to change thread display options
~How to change the theme
~How to keep up to date with interesting threads
~How to find your previous posts
~XDA forum rules
~How to search for what you are looking for
~Your device page
~How to find the right download for your device in threads
~How to get help when you cant find the threads or answers that you are looking for
~How to post, reply, give thanks, etc. in threads
~How to rate threads and participate in polls
~How to report bad behavior
~How to attach photos to a thread
~How to donate to developers
~XDA Assist
~How to start a new thread
~Sending private messages
~How to upload photos to a private message
~And more!
Settings:I think setting this up first is best. Click on settings button near the top right of your screen. Then you will find the XDA control panel on the left. Here you can setup/edit your XDA experience. Now we will take a look at some of the options available in "Settings"...
Edit Your Details
Here you will find a quick link to change the email affiliated with your XDA account or change your password. You can also add information that will show up to others when they view your profile such as your birthday, what device you are using, your personal website link, how to instant message you on other messaging networks, links to your social media accounts, the phone carrier that you are using, what city and country you are from, a short biography of yourself, your interests and hobbies, your work occupation, and how to donate to you (if you think your contributions to XDA will be worth a donation).
Profile Privacy
Here you can edit what information you will allow others to see about you just in case you would like to keep some information more private.
Edit Profile Picture
Here you can add/edit a profile picture by either uploading a photo from your computer or phone, or entering a link to a photo from another website that you use such as dropbox.
Contacts & Friends
Here you can select XDA users to add to your contacts or friends list. You can also find information on how to delete contacts here.
Social Groups
Here you can search for social groups to join or start your own social group. Social groups are usually a grouping of people that have the same device, same interests, same cultural background, etc.
Pictures & Albums
Here you can add picture albums to upload photos to for sharing with others here on XDA.
Edit Avatar
Here you can add a photo that will appear under your username whenever you make a post.
Edit Signature
Here you can add/edit a signature (text and/or photo) that will appear at the bottom of every post you make. You can hover over edit options with your cursor to see a description of what they do (like change color of text, change size of text, etc.). You can highlight a part of your signature and select an edit option to change only that part. For a complete guide to all the cool things you can do in a signature, go here! Things that would be great to include in your signature would be your device model number, which ROM version you are using (stock is what came on your phone from the store, and custom ROM is like Cyanogenmod or other aftermarket ROM that was flashed by you or previous owner of device), which kernel version you are using, which android version you have (like 4.4.2 or 5.1.1), which baseband version you are using, which recovery version you are using (stock is what came on your phone from the store, and custom recovery is like Clockworkmod, team win recovery project, etc), any additional custom framework or modules that have been added to your device (like Xposed, Lspeed, etc. Do not list apps), or anything else that you think is important related to your device. If you are unsure, most of this info is available in android settings-about phone. Entering this info will help us to quickly answer your questions.
Edit Email & Password
Here you can change the email affiliated with your XDA account, change your password, or connect a Google+ account to your XDA profile.
Edit Options
Here you can find additional privacy options, messaging and notification options to keep up with interesting threads, private messaging options, date and time options, and customize how the website looks to you including the theme.
Edit Ignore List
Here you can add or delete contacts that you wish to ignore during your XDA experience.
List Messages
Here you can see any private messages that you have received or sent. You can also delete or save messages here as well as change the display options for your message list. An easier way to get to this list is by going into messages from the box labeled "messages" near the top right of your screen.
List Subscriptions
Here you can view the threads that you have subscribed to in a nice and neat list.
Edit Folders
Here you can add/edit folders that you want to keep subscribed threads organized in case you have a lot of them.
Attachments
Here you can view or delete any attachments that you have attached in previous posts.
You may find that you are unable to post replies or threads in some places at first. Please make 10 meaningful or helpful posts elsewhere first and then you will be able to. You will graduate from a Junior Member to a Member at 30 posts. You will graduate from a Member to a Senior Member at 100 posts. To graduate to a Recognized Contributor, Recognized Developer, or Moderator, please search in the "Search all forums" box near the top middle of the screen, and type "How to become a (which ever one of these I mentioned that you are curious about)"
Near the top right of the screen there will be a button labeled "Notifications". Here you will get quick access to messages, mentions, quotes and statistics (statistics will be shown on same page as quotes. Here you can also find all posts made by you in the past, and all thanked posts made by you in the past), and update alerts for software you are using from subscribed threads. Also towards the right of the screen you will see easy access tabs to quickly view unread messages, and threads that you subscribed to.
Near the top right of the screen you will see the button for "Swappa". This is an online store for buying and selling devices and is recommended by XDA.
Next read XDA Forum Rules if you haven't yet before going any further. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the webpage and you will find a link for this as well as some other useful links. Or you can click here.
Finding The Forums And Threads That You Are Looking For
Now to find the best forums and threads related to your device, click on the search box near the top left of your screen and start typing any identifying words that relate to your device until you find it. Once your device is selected you will find specifications, forums, threads, information on how to root, ROM's, kernels, and tools/utilities that are related to your device. If you are not able to find your device, then use the search box for searching all forums to find forums and threads that may be related to your device. This may be needed if you have a very new, old, or less common device. You may have to select the settings icon to the right of this search box for advanced search options. For a complete guide to using XDA's search features, check out this thread by my friend @TheMerovingian. If you are still not finding the information you need, read below for what to do next.
XDA Assist And How To Start Your Own Thread
If you are still not finding the information you need after following the steps above, then click on the XDA assist tab near the top left of your screen. Here you can start a new thread requesting help to find the information you are looking for. You can find the new thread button near the top left of your screen. If you did find the forum you were looking for, then you can start a thread there the same way by selecting the new thread button near the top left of your screen. If you are unsure if this is the right forum to start your thread, then select the moderator tab near the top middle of the screen and send a private message to one of the moderators telling them what your thread is about, the name of your thread, where you think it should go, and politely ask if that is the right thing to do.
How To Operate Within Threads
Now that you have found a thread that interests you, here is some information on how to utilize your resources to get the most out of it. The original post or OP is where you are going to find the most info and usually any downloads that are related to the thread. This is on the first page of the thread (sdk version is related to which android version you are running. Arm, arm64, and x86 version is related to which processor you have in your device). If you cannot find this info in your android settings, then search for your device specifications online. Read all of the first page now. If you still have questions about the thread, next use the search box at the top of the original post to find specific info within the thread. If you still have questions read through a majority of the thread before posting questions. Unless it is a new thread, most likely the answer to your question is in there somewhere. The newest posts will be towards the last page of the thread. If you still have questions its time to make a post in the thread.
Making A Post In A Thread
At the bottom of the thread page you will see an option for a quick reply. This is a basic reply with limited options. Not many people are going to notice this post especially in a busy thread. If you want a specific person to be alerted that you have made a post then you either need to mention them by adding text in your post like this... @ZipAddict or you need to quote another persons post by selecting the "reply" button at the bottom right of the post that you are replying to. If you would like to alert multiple people that you have posted, then you need to select the "multi-quote" button at the bottom right of each persons post that you are replying to followed by selecting reply. Once again if you hover over edit options at the top of the reply you are making, you will see a description of what each one does (like change the font, or hide text like in my signature). For a complete guide on all the cool things you can do in a post, go here! Additional options are available below the text box and this is where you can add attachments to your post. If you are wanting to post several photos or videos, it can be easier to post a link to an offsite photo gallery like dropbox in your post itself.
Sending Private Messages
To send someone a private message you can either click on their username and select "send message", or you can go to your message list and start a new message by manually entering the username/s of who you wish to send a message to. If you are wanting to send attachments in a private message, then you can include a link to your offsite gallery just like we discussed above.
~If someone has posted something that has helped you, then you are urged to hit the "thanks" button under that post regardless if you post a thank you.
~If someone is breaking the forum rules, then you are urged to hit the "!" button at the bottom left of their post and report them.
~If the thread has a poll (at the top of the thread), then you should participate. It only takes a second, and your opinion matters.
~You should rate the thread (at the top of the thread) immediately if it has helped you a lot. If not, give it a little time before rating and dont be quick to give a bad rating.
~If you benefit from software that you have used here, you should donate to the developer. Any amount is appreciated, and this will motivate them to keep providing the service that you use.
~Be patient and do not make another post about the same thing twice. If no one answers within 24 hours you could send a private message to the maker of the thread politely asking for direction.
This is something I put together real quickly to point new members in the right direction and once again i did not go over every single option or detail. Feel free to ask any questions here, or to request more information regarding a certain topic though. And if you see any mistakes please point them out so that i can correct them. Also, if anyone would like to make photos or videos outlining these things, then i will be happy to add them and give credit. In the meantime i will attach photos as requested. Thank you for reading and good luck on your XDA adventures!:good::good:
Thank you.

Hi people!
Although MicroG development seems to have slowed down, We know there are still thousands of people using this handy little piece of software to claim back their performance, their battery life, their storage, and above all, their privacy.
Using MicroG for beginners is no easy job. You might run into problems. You might wanna try different combinations of MicroG and Google (Hey, what's free software for?).That's why having a support system is essential.
Yes, we're aware that there seems to already be a Telegram group in the official MicroG OP. But to be honest, that group is crap. The admin bans random newcomers and old veterans alike for expressing their disagreements or being in another group, or randomly, even being 'Alts'. From what we've heard, discussion has basically bottlenecked in that group because of fear (Cannot personally confirm. Was banned for using Chrome).
So, here is the other group.
We're basically a set of channels and groups that discuss and provide everything MicroG, FOSS, and Android. We have guides and experts and cool reaction GIFs and whatnot to help you work through either your first or 1000th issue in MicroG. And guess what, we don't ban people for expressing their views or using Gapps (Though we still hate people that wanna sync Google Photos).
We also have our own, up-to-date (UNOFFICIAL) forks of MicroG with installers just with bumped version numbers so that no app will bother you with that 'Update Play Services' message.
The rules are quite simple. Please use common sense, and English. Both mandatory.
(On the request of the MicroG developer, we would like to assert that this group is quite unofficial. If you want Official, try your luck in russian roulette with the official MicroG group. Don't worry, we welcome you dead or alive)
Due to the new XDA rules about chats, we can't post our telegram links here, so here is our MicroG pack github, which links to our channel, which has links to our group. (might not be convenient, but rules)
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Please try to spread the word.
Good luck, and stay free (as in freedom).
I am here too. Not sure if you are on TG I9082 Group, but count me in mate. Lemme know what is needed of, and I will oblige.
Btw, the TG link for the channel is:

Thank you !
Thanks dude, totally agree what you said, I'm one of the victims of the evil g333k.
btw I would really suggest you to use other browser than Chrome though, at least try ungoogled-chromium or inox

Firefox, Dual Browser, Rocket Browser. I use the last 2. They are best. Even Naked Browser is awesome.

Quoting @devrruti:
Is there any way we can get a debloated package? Say, no GApps included whatsoever. GMS Core, Framework proxy and a couple of location backends along with Google Play Store (might be offered optional as @Shadow53's .zip files - one that comes bundled with GPlay and the other that does not have the Store,) that way, we may make the flashable zip considerably lighter and offer an option for hardcore microG users.

Delete the files from the zip
rottenwheel said:
That's a hacky solution. It's better if you provide the solution from the release itself. But okay, every developer has the right to develop and do as it pleases.

I've been working on the installer, but the primary devs are busy. Probably this wekend, we'll release a newer version of the zip with loads of new stuff, compatibility with x86/64, mips/64, magisk module support, customizable install, etc. Basically pack 2.0
rottenwheel said:
That's great news. I insist, making a debloated GMS Core, Framework Proxy with say, Mozilla and Deja Vu backends should be an appealing deal for those who want to avoid the package coming bundled with GApps and root installers. KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.
As for a customizable install I hope you are not loading it with Aroma, huh. I don't intend to bring up a pun but, a simple flashable installer with the barebone of what's required for MicroG to work is fair enough.

Nope. A text file, from which you can remove items you don't wanna install. But, still a WIP

May I seriously ask, why Google Photos backup isn't implemented and what are the obstacles? Is there any way to help?

If you want to share your whole life with Google, go ahead and use normal Gapps.
What Are the benefits really of microg as I haven't had a single app fooled that I actually did have real gcf. Why install it at all? Unified NLP is cool (and I use it) but I don't get microg...

Works fine for me.

It's not a fork, it just bumps the version number to bypass the warnings from some apps that ask you to update Google services. Like Marvin did in previous occasions
What has been forked is the telegram group to bypass g333k
Hello guys !
Telegram links are no longer allowed on XDA if they do not belong to a developer as part of his development tools along with direct download links to his work.
Please read this Whatsapp / Telegram Chat Channels - Way Forward
That being said I have removed the links but I`ve left the thread opened for discussion on XDA as has been always, XDA is the place to discuss, random channels can`t be only advertised here.
Thanks for understanding

Thank you.
The telegram channel is the most active and liberal place with microG related discussion. There is much off-toppic, noob bashing, dissing etc. I think it's good to have a corresponding XDA thread. Not for invitation, but for presenting results.

No doubt about it although I've never used and never will a telegram chat to get info, to me, a healthy and properly organized forum is the choice, people can always discuss and also post a decent off topic at the OP's discretion here on xda, we just can't turn xda into a cool forum advertising cool chat links, one Google searches "microG xda" and what he finds instead of download links and feedback is a telegram link, isn't fair I would say, is it?
Short summary of last hours' discussion in telegram group: Marvin was there and gave us a lesson in FOSS ethics.
We shall not call the group or the microG fork "official"
We shall do pull request in github
Marvin does not care about fighting between telegram groups, but using bots or fake accounts in this war is not acceptable.

I installed an app for telegram, but it requires a mobile phone number which I do not have. Is there a direct link to the newest apk of microG service ?
