SysAdminDoc/HushFeed

_{If Hushfeed makes TikTok better for you, a coffee helps me keep testing patches and maintaining them as TikTok changes.}

Hushfeed is a set of Morphe patches for TikTok. You bring the TikTok APK, Morphe Manager patches it on your phone, and the patched app gets a Hushfeed page in its settings with a switch for each patch you picked. Hide the ads and the clutter over videos. Make Follow and Like ask for a second tap. Save videos without the watermark, and stop the usage statistics and crash reports TikTok sends home.

Most switches start off, so a freshly patched TikTok looks and works the way it ships until you turn something on. What changed in each version is in the changelog.

Add Hushfeed to Morphe | Download the latest bundle | Browse the 134 source patches

Hushfeed v0.72.0 contains 134 patches for TikTok 47.1.4. New in this one: every Hushfeed settings page now sits on the main settings page, and holding For You at the top of the feed opens it. Settings search can flip a switch right in the results. Two patches are new, Show commenter handle and region and Profile background. It needs Morphe Manager 1.34.0 or newer.

The main branch contains 134 patches, the same set as v0.72.0.

• Feed: Start with the Calm feed preset, or hide ads, Shop, LIVEs, stories, photo posts and any creator or video that matches your own rules. Your own posts are never hidden. TikTok can open on Following, Friends, Inbox or Profile instead of For You.
• Touch controls: Ask for a second tap before Follow, Like or a quick repost goes through. Remap or turn off long press and double tap, and keep For You where it is when you tap Home.
• Playback: Choose the speed and quality, stop loops, pick up where you left off or move on by itself. A video can keep playing after you leave the app.
• Downloads: Save videos without the watermark, full-size photos, the sound on its own and SRT subtitles, into folders and file names you choose. Saving works even when the creator turned downloads off.
• Comments and inbox: Filter comments by words or accounts and translate them into your language. Choose which Inbox rows show up.
• Privacy: Turn off supported telemetry, hide that you viewed a story or that you're typing, keep videos out of Watch history and put TikTok behind your fingerprint or PIN.
• Screen time: Set a daily budget in videos or minutes with a hold when it runs out, or lock the feed and keep TikTok for messages.

The settings screen comes in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Azerbaijani. It follows the language TikTok runs in.

The block, hide, sound and Not interested buttons Hushfeed can put on a video:

1. Get the TikTok 47.1.4 APK. Google Play only offers the newest build, so take it from APKMirror: 47.1.4. On Android 11 and newer, Morphe Manager checks that TikTok's own key signed the file and warns you if it didn't. That warning means the file was changed after TikTok published it, so download it again.
2. Use Morphe Manager 1.34.0 or newer. This bundle is built against patcher 1.15.1, which Manager 1.34.0 was the first to ship, and older Managers won't load it. morphe-desktop works from a computer. Universal ReVanced Manager can't import a Morphe bundle at all (its issue #733).
3. Add Hushfeed as a source. On the phone, open Add Hushfeed to Morphe. If Open in Morphe leaves you in the browser, open Morphe Manager, tap Sources, tap +, and paste https://github.com/SysAdminDoc/hushfeed. You can also download the .mpp file from the latest release and load it as a local bundle. It's a patch bundle, not a TikTok APK.
4. Pick the patches. Simple mode in Morphe Manager selects 117 of the 134 Hushfeed patches. The other 17 need Expert mode in Manager settings, and Patches says why each one stays out. Manager 1.34.0 shows all 134 Hushfeed patches in eleven categories you can expand or collapse. Give the manager 1,024 MB of memory under Settings > Process runtime before you start, since less makes patching slow or stall.
5. Patch the original APK from step 1. Hushfeed stops with an error on an APK it has already patched. Keep the manager's existing signing key, because an update only installs over your copy, with your login intact, when it's signed with the same key.
6. Install the patched APK, open TikTok and go to Settings and privacy. Hushfeed is the first row, and Settings has two quicker ways in.

The patches that take files out of TikTok do it while patching, so Pause and a settings import can't put those files back. Read the native-language recovery steps before you remove languages.

Besides the row at the top of TikTok's Settings and privacy, two shortcuts skip Profile and work while you're signed out: press and hold For You at the top of the feed, or long-press Home on the bottom bar. A quick tap on either still does what it always did. The Home shortcut needs Feed tab navigation selected along with Settings when you patch, and it's the one to use if you've hidden the tab names at the top of the feed.

The home page has a search box, which finds any row by its title or description and flips a plain switch right in the results. Under it, Quick setups turns on Quiet or Privacy, or puts every switch back to its default, in one tap with Undo. Every settings page sits right on the home page under a small heading, so nothing is more than one tap away:

The status chip next to the Hushfeed title scrolls down to the full status card. About Hushfeed has the build details and the license notices. Report a problem opens a GitHub bug report with your versions and the switches you have on filled in, and Support Hushfeed opens Ko-fi. A few pages you'll want to know about:

• Pause Hushfeed, under the Hushfeed heading, turns the runtime features off from the next start and keeps every choice you made. Is it Hushfeed? lists what it can't reach.
• Backup and restore saves your settings and Feature Gate Lab rules to a JSON file. A backup from an older Hushfeed restores what it has and leaves the rest as you set it. Restore and reset keep one undo copy inside TikTok, but clearing TikTok's data takes that copy too, so back up to a file first.
• Import watch history, under Feed filter > Seen videos, reads the JSON file from your TikTok data download so Hide already seen videos knows what you've watched. The file's dates don't name a time zone, so they're read in your phone's zone when you pick the file. It takes up to 2 MB and 10,000 entries.
• Diagnostics exports a report you can attach to a bug, and the report stays on your phone until you share it. Its Hook status row says whether the hooks found what they need in your TikTok build. It hears from comments, comment translation, the inbox, the share sheet, the feed overlay, the bottom navigation and the story viewer, feed models, playback quality, sensitive warnings, CAPTCHA account state, the external browser, sticker saves and story saves. A switch can read on while its hook found nothing, and this row is how you'd know.
• Feature Gate Lab changes values TikTok reads for its own features. Its reviewed presets show each value before you apply it, and Undo last Lab change puts the old ones back. A gate outside those presets can break sign-in or the feed, so leave it alone unless you know what it does.

Settings use the same rounded panels and controls across every page, in dark and light mode. The page mockups and implementation notes show the design behind them.

Simple mode in Morphe Manager selects 117 of these patches. Each row says what the patch does, whether its switch starts on or off, and where to find it. The other 17 stay out of the default selection, and you pick them in Expert mode:

• Change app name, Custom launcher icon, Hide Play Store update offer, Look like the store app and Run beside the store app change the app's name, icon, signature, package or version code.
• AMOLED dark theme, Block P2P video relay, Remove content credential and card scanner assets, Remove creation tools, Remove LIVE extras and Remove unused language packs change TikTok's files while patching. Only a fresh patch takes that back.
• Trust user certificates changes TikTok with no switch in front of it.
• Feature Gate Recorder and Network request report only record what TikTok does, for research. Hide the risk control CAPTCHA sits on TikTok's account checks.
• Region spoof changes the region TikTok sees on every read, sign-in included. Skip first-launch setup only helps when it's picked before TikTok's first start, so its switch starts on.

• Turn off Private DNS, AdGuard or any other ad blocker while you log in. They can block the addresses TikTok checks a login against.
• After several failed tries TikTok stops taking new ones for a while. Wait an hour, then try again.
• Facebook login can't work on a patched build, because Facebook checks the app's signing key and yours isn't TikTok's. Log in with your email or phone number and a code, or with Google.
• If a login stalls with Hide CAPTCHA popups on, turn it off and restart TikTok. None of the Feature Gate Lab presets touch a CAPTCHA.

The manager has run short of memory. Cancel, set Settings > Process runtime to 1,024 MB if it's lower and start again. If it still stalls, try 512 MB, which gives the patcher less to hold at once. Hide Play Store update offer, Change app name and Custom launcher icon decode resources too, so raise the limit if one of them runs out.

You can select every patch at once. Each release is patched with all of them selected before it ships, so none refuse to go in together.

Remove unused language packs keeps every TikTok language until you list some in its Languages to keep option. all or a blank option keeps them all, and a list such as en,tr keeps just those. English always stays as the fallback. If you first picked this patch with a bundle older than v0.67.0, the option may still say en, so check it. Hushfeed's own settings translations are separate from TikTok's language packs.

Pause and a settings import can't bring back a language removed at patch time. Repatch a clean official APK with that language kept, using the same package name (Clone app included) and the same signing key, and install it over the existing app so your account stays. If you used Hide Play Store update offer, keep it selected so the version code doesn't drop.

Select Morphe's Clone app patch, with its Update permissions and Update providers options left on, and Hushfeed's Run beside the store app with it. Clone app alone gives the copy a new package name that TikTok's servers won't issue a device ID to, so logging in fails. Change app name helps tell the two icons apart. Google and Facebook sign-in check the package name and signing key, so log in to the copy with your email or phone number and a code.

Hushfeed settings > Pause Hushfeed (under the Hushfeed heading) turns off the runtime features from the next start. Your settings stay as they were, and turning Pause off brings them back after a restart. A diagnostic export made while paused says so at the top. If a problem stays while paused, compare with an official TikTok build before you blame any patch.

Pausing turns off the screen-time budget as well, so with Wait a day to loosen the budget on, Pause is refused until the day starts over. App lock stays on, so pausing can't be used to get past it.

A few patches change TikTok with no switch in front of them, and Pause can't reach those:

• Settings itself, which is how you get back to the switch.
• AMOLED dark theme, Hide Play Store update offer, Change app name and Custom launcher icon.
• Disable screen capture detection, Disable login requirement and Fix Google login.
• Block P2P video relay and the four patches that take files out of the app: Remove content credential and card scanner assets, Remove unused language packs, Remove creation tools and Remove LIVE extras.
• In Downloads, the folder and file name you picked still apply, as do the fallback to a clean video address and the save button on stickers.

If TikTok crashes within a minute of starting three times in a row, Hushfeed pauses itself on the next start, and the top of Hushfeed settings offers Turn Hushfeed back on. TikTok may clear most of what it has saved after those crashes, so you might see its interest picker again, but your Hushfeed settings survive.

If you can't reach the settings at all, create an empty file named hushfeed-safe-mode in Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/. From a computer with adb that's adb shell touch /sdcard/Android/data/com.zhiliaoapp.musically/files/hushfeed-safe-mode. Hushfeed stays paused while the file is there, and Turn Hushfeed back on deletes it.

If TikTok closes while saves are still going, the next time you open it a banner names the ones that didn't finish, or that Hushfeed can't confirm, and how many of their files are missing. Files that already reached your gallery count as saved and are left alone. Nothing picks a save up again by itself, so save it again if you still want it. The note Hushfeed keeps for this stays inside TikTok's own storage and holds no links or tokens. On Android 9 and older, a file that's still being written is noted by its own path, which is the name it's saved under and can include the creator and the video ID, until it's confirmed. Each save's entry goes when the save ends or once the banner has named it.

A post that's one photo with a sound has no video on TikTok's servers, so TikTok's own Download builds one on your phone and adds its logo, the creator's handle and an end card. Choose Download image for a clean copy of the photo. Or turn on Save photo posts as a video under Hushfeed settings > Downloads, and Download video makes the MP4 itself from the original photo and the post's sound, with no marks.

A bid from a patched TikTok can fail with "Bidding is temporarily unavailable", and other payments may be refused the same way. TikTok's security library reads the app's signing certificate while it signs those requests, and a patched TikTok carries your manager's. Bid and buy from the official app.

That's TikTok's own dark mode on 47.1.4. It paints Profile and Inbox black and leaves the comment, share and search sheets dark gray. AMOLED dark theme is what turns those sheets black as well.

Hushfeed includes the eight Kveld TikTok optimizers it didn't already have, and its Feed filter and Disable telemetry cover Kveld's Feed Ad Blocker and Npth telemetry. Remove or turn off Kveld's TikTok patches after you switch. Kveld marks those eight shared names on by default, so keeping both sources selects them whether you wanted them or not.

• To plain TikTok. Save your settings first if you might come back (Backup and restore > Back up settings). Then uninstall the patched TikTok and install TikTok from Google Play. Android won't put one over the other because they're signed with different keys, and uninstalling clears the app's data, so you'll log in again.
• To an older Hushfeed. Download that release's .mpp from the releases page, load it in Morphe Manager as a local bundle, then patch and install as usual. With the same signing key it installs over the current build and keeps your login and settings.
• Keep the signing key. Android only installs an update over the old app when both carry the same key. Don't reset the manager's key, and take it with you when you move to a new phone or reinstall the manager. A build signed with a new key means uninstalling first.

• App: TikTok, the global package com.zhiliaoapp.musically
• Version: 47.1.4, on APKMirror since 2026-09-28.
• Build: version code 2024701040, arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a, nodpi, minSdk 23
• SHA-256 of the APK every patch was verified against: 4226ed5d3031b68208c29f62d80ac421b281fc74201bc4163d98e442d0991a40 (47.1.4)

On Windows, check your download with Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\tiktok.apk. On Linux or macOS it's sha256sum tiktok.apk.

Hushfeed declares one target at a time, the newest stable TikTok it's been checked against. When a newer build is supported, the old one is dropped in the same release. On any other build a patch can fail loudly when its anchor moves, or worse, land in the wrong place.

Google Play only ever serves the newest build it thinks your device can run, so the copy on your phone may not be 47.1.4, and Play can't be asked for an older one. Take the APK from APKMirror (47.1.4) and patch that file, not the installed app.

APKMirror also offers some TikTok releases as bundles, using an .apkm file. Morphe Manager merges one into a single APK and keeps TikTok's file paths, so everything works on it. The desktop CLI's merge moves the resource files around, and AMOLED dark theme and Custom launcher icon refuse that result, so on a computer patch the plain 47.1.4 APK instead.

The latest release ships SHA256SUMS.txt beside the .mpp. Hash your download with Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\patches-<version>.mpp (or sha256sum elsewhere) and compare it with the line for that file.

The release also carries release-receipt-<version>.json. It records the tag and full commit that built the bundle, the bundle's size and hash, and the TikTok APK every patch was applied to, with a verdict for each patch. The bundle is byte reproducible, so you can also build that commit yourself and compare the checksum.

You need JDK 21 or newer, an Android SDK set in local.properties, and GITHUB_ACTOR plus a GITHUB_TOKEN with read:packages for the Morphe dependencies on GitHub Packages. On Windows, run the runtime tests on JDK 25, since JDK 21 there couldn't replace a file through File.renameTo.

./gradlew :extensions:tiktok:test
./gradlew :patches:test
./gradlew :patches:generatePatchesList
pwsh -File scripts/validate-release-facts.ps1
./gradlew :patches:buildAndroid

The patch tests read the stock TikTok APKs from the folder HUSHFEED_FIXTURE_DIR names, which CONTRIBUTING.md covers along with the release steps. The finished bundle is patches/build/release/patches-<version>.mpp, with bundle.sha256 beside it. Publish that one. The copy in patches/build/libs gets turned back into a plain jar by later Gradle tasks, and Morphe Manager then shows zero patches. Two clean builds of the same commit give the same file and checksum.

For Android 17 emulator checks, use Android SDK Command-line Tools 23 and inspect the new AVD's .ini target before launching it. Tools 12 can misread android-37.1 as android-0 even when creation succeeds. A 16 KB image still needs actual TikTok launch and playback checks. Aligned APK entries alone don't prove it runs.

To add a language to the settings screen, copy one of the tables under extensions/tiktok/src/main/l10n/ (the tab separated de.tsv or the Weblate style in.csv) to your language code, translate the right column, then run python scripts/gen-l10n.py and ./gradlew :extensions:tiktok:test. Use the code Android reports, so in rather than id. The tests fail on any settings text that's missing from a table.

Where things live:

• patches/: the Kotlin patches and their fingerprints.
• extensions/tiktok/: the Java code that runs inside TikTok, with its Robolectric tests. The settings translations are in src/main/l10n/.
• scripts/: patching and checking scripts. release/release.ps1 runs a release in five stages (prepare, preflight, build, publish and index), and validate-release-facts.ps1 holds this README and the index to the catalog.
• tools/: release text and What's new generation, plus the test-only verification probe a device check drives.
• patches-list.json is the generated patch catalog. patches-bundle.json is the Morphe source index for the published bundle and only changes at release time.
• App and patch development map: the target boundary, the source modules and how to add a patch. The research lives beside it in the TikTok app audit, the network and power measurements and the measured TikTok runtime.

Hushfeed has no server of its own and collects nothing. Everything it adds runs inside TikTok on your phone.

It goes online by itself for one job. When you save a video, a photo, a sound, subtitles, a sticker or a profile picture, it downloads that file over HTTPS from the address TikTok's own data holds for it. It won't fetch from an address on your own network, and those downloads connect directly even when Network proxy is on. Copy the full link for short links, which is off unless you turn it on, uses the same path to see where a vt.tiktok.com or vm.tiktok.com link leads. Network proxy, once you turn it on, also checks that your proxy answers when TikTok starts and when it comes back to the screen. Anything else, like translating a comment or blocking a creator, goes through TikTok's own code to TikTok's servers.

The only web addresses written into Hushfeed's code are github.com for this project, ko-fi.com for the Support Hushfeed row, which opens in your browser only when you tap it, gitlab.com and gnu.org for licence texts, tiktok.com for the share links TikTok itself uses, and music.youtube.com for the Find the sound on YouTube Music gesture. A test fails the build if another one turns up.

The diagnostic report and a feed capture stay on your phone until you copy or save them. They leave out web addresses, login tokens and cookies, device ids, the ids of videos, comments and messages, and creator names and handles. The report does name the Hushfeed settings you've changed, so a bug report shows which switches are on, but never the words, names or addresses you typed into one. Read one through before you share it anyway.

Hushfeed stands on a lot of other people's work, and the licence asks that this stays visible.

Files that came from another project keep their original notices, and files written here say so in their header. A test holds every source file the bundle ships to having one, so a file cannot arrive without saying where it came from.

The notices are also in the app, under Hushfeed settings > About Hushfeed > Licenses, because Morphe asks that they reach the person using the software and not just the person reading the source.

• Hushfeed is not affiliated with TikTok, ByteDance or Morphe. "For Morphe" describes compatibility, nothing more.
• Patching a client TikTok didn't ship is your call. Some accounts see CAPTCHA checks or find that follows don't land on patched builds. Follow diagnostics says so when it happens.
• Everything Hushfeed adds runs inside TikTok, as TikTok, with TikTok's permissions. Installing a patched build is the same trust decision as installing any app, and the source is here so you can read it first.
• This repository and its GitHub releases are the only official source. Anything else offering a Hushfeed build wasn't made here.
• Bugs and concrete feature requests go in the issue tracker, with the TikTok version and the patch involved. Questions and general chat go in Discussions, where release news is posted too.
