21 selectable patches

HushMessenger v0.2.0 replaces the two-entry catalog with separate choices for each feature. It has 20 optional controls plus Install beside Meta apps. Every switch starts off.

Thirteen controls are new:

  • Inbox ad filtering, People You May Know, friend request cards, growth prompts and inbox promotions.
  • Chat Moments and the Reels badge.
  • Generated-sticker tools and the avatar sticker tab.
  • Chat promotions, business reply suggestions, business typing suggestions and event prompts.

The seven existing controls are now separate patches. The Meta AI control also hides the inbox toolbar button.

Find the settings

After patching and installing Messenger, open app drawer > HushMessenger settings. Use Find a control to search. The screen shows only installed controls. Pause all changes retains your saved choices, and a light theme is available.

In Morphe Manager, open Sources, expand HushMessenger, refresh it, then open Patches. The list should contain 21 entries. Updating the source downloads patch definitions; it doesn't replace installed Messenger.

Verification

  • 52 local tests passed: 26 Kotlin, 15 Android and 11 Python. Android lint passed.
  • Both S22 and S25 remote sources and catalog pages show v0.2.0 with 21 entries. Their installed Messenger apps stayed intact.
  • All 21 patches applied to both supported arm64 APKs, codes 346013387 and 346013440. Both rebuilt APKs passed signature verification.
  • A people-only build changed just its two host hooks and added one installed-feature flag.
  • Settings search, empty results, saved choices, pause and both themes were exercised on an isolated S25 display.
  • Two clean release builds produced the same bundle. The bundle includes the GPL license and upstream notices.

Remaining limitations

Original-package startup remains unresolved. A previous re-signed Messenger build stayed on a blank first-run screen. Preserve your installed app and encrypted chat recovery information.

Inbox ad filtering is experimental. It filters only Messenger's typed ad items and keeps ordinary rows. Live removal still needs an affected account with a visible ad. The other new host features have exact-build and automated checks, but still need signed-in before/after tests on their affected screens. The settings check doesn't establish full Messenger runtime behavior.

Build 346013370 from issue 1 remains unsupported until its exact APK can be checked.

Download patches-0.2.0.mpp and compare it with SHA256SUMS.txt. No Messenger APK is distributed.
