FAQ

The module doesn't start up.

Open a ticket including your device name, OS, root status, and the logs from LSPosed if rooted.

Otherwise, we won't be able to help you!

The module starts, but the developer options are not showing up.

Make sure you have installed one of the combitaple versions of Instagram.
Make sure you have enabled the module from LSPosed/EdXposed/etc.
Deactivate and reactivate the module from LSPosed, EdXposed, etc...
If none worked, check LSPosed logs and send them to us by opening a ticket.
Please note that if the logs don't include anything wrong, we won't be able to help you because most likely it's something with your device.

Where is the home button?

The home button is the Instagram home button (not the phone home button, apparently!).

Contributing

Contributions are always welcome!

To support newer versions:

You can now use my new tool IGExperimentsPatcher to directly patch Instagram apk without waiting me for update something, it can also simply give you the class, method and arg type to use in this module. Find it here !

Otherwise if you are a hacker wearing a very dark hood ROOT Devices ONLY:

First you will need to use Jadx to decompile an Instagram apk.

Open Jadx and select your apk.
Click on the text search button at top, wait for decompiling (it can takes several times)
Search for "is_employee" or ""is_employee", Boolean.valueOf" and find a line similar to:

c0ba.A0Y("is_employee", Boolean.valueOf(C17H.A00(c12800m3)));

Double click on the method name, A00:

Now go at top, you will see a line like this:

/* renamed from: X.17H reason: invalid class name */

You now know the class to hook: X.17H

Method to hook: A00

Second class to hook: X.0m3 (the last three characters of 'c12800m3' for example)

You can now try if it works by enabling HECKER mode and completing the class name and method name field, click on hook and kill Instagram - Root devices ONLY!
