feat: Add desktop GUI by prateek-who · Pull Request #42 · MorpheApp/morphe-cli

prateek-who · 2026-02-06T11:45:05Z

The GUI update with most of the stuff. Some stuff might be broken, will keep fixing them as they appear. Also, please check the build.gradle.kts file once just to make sure I didn't mess up anything that the team might have added there.

Tired of using the old CLI? Not sure where to get what files to get the CLI running? Too busy to read the documentation? Worry not ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the Morphe GUI!

We got shiny new look coat of paint to suit your needs with more coming on the way!

Select the patch you want to use, including stable and dev patches!

See all the patches that will be applied even before they are applied! Are you a power user and want to make small tweak to the final command? With one click copy, your command will be all yours to experiment with! Also, see the morphe team's most deselected patches and decide if you want to listen to them :)

See the patch getting applied in real time just like how it does on the mobile patcher!

Directly install the app to your phone over ADB if you are plugged in to your computer and not worry about transferring the app and installting it again!

And in case you happen to be in a hurry want the entire process to be done ASAP, we got your back there too!

Maybe we relocate the 'Code Preview' and the 'Suggested Deselected Patches' sections to the TopBar in the Patch Selection Screen? It's kinda looks ugly and cramped right now I feel. Will try to figure something out for this soon.

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-08T18:11:42Z

If code preview you mean the CLI command, then yes it can be at the top of the screen. It can be show if "expert mode" is enabled. The simplified mode setting can be inverted to "expert mode" and it's default off, to match Android Manager app.

Suggested deselected patches can be removed entirely. Patches already declare if they are default included, and we don't want hard coded patch preferences or anything else.

Ideally the only hard coded thing we should use, is a package name to app name lookup, so a human readable app name is shown and not the ugly package name. Eventually this will change so it's not needed, but for now it's ok.

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-08T18:13:04Z

The simple mode progress UI stub can be removed too since it's not easy to use with CLI text usage.

Got it. I'll remove the suggested patches thingy entirely. Will integrate it into the patch card iteslf just like how mobile manager does it.

Do I do what the normal mode does and show the progress bar just spinning but no actual number?

prateek-who · 2026-02-09T03:40:00Z

Ok, it just says 'patching' now with a circular spinning icon, no progress or numbers and shows the latest text of the CLI in there like this:

prateek-who · 2026-02-09T09:19:59Z

Was looking at adding this #26 . Saw your comment https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-patches/issues/336 on keeping them separate for the manager and the CLI. So, we add a flag that keeps only our needed lib and deletes other libs right? Or we could make this a GUI only option too and the Expert Mode gets the option to do this now since we are able to track the user device's architecture if they are connected over ADB (or give them an option to choose).
What do you think?

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-09T09:25:49Z

Rip-libs can be a cli argument. Can be something like --riplibs (architectures to keep, separated by commas)

--riplibs arm64-v8a,x86 strips all except for armv8 and x86.

I think this should be do-able by deleting subdirectories before apktool recompiles the app. Or remove before zipping the files into the final apk, or possibly even remove from the apk after it's created. Deleting before APKTool would be preferred if possible, but whatever is simplest may be the best.

prateek-who · 2026-02-09T13:05:02Z

If a patch is not recommended the patches.mpp file sets "use" to false right? For youtube, only 2 out of the 61 patches have this field set to false,so naturally the gui auto selects the rest 59 and unselects those 2 and then lets the user decide what they want to do. However on the mobile patcher seems to deselect many more patches and shows only 54/61 selected. How is it doing that?

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-09T13:22:44Z

The Android Manager still auto selects all patches with use == true, so it includes 59 patches like CLI does.

But it will remember the last selected patches if using expert mode. Maybe you already patched using expert mode and excluded some patches?

Ah, that's probably it.

Deleting before APKTool would be preferred if possible, but whatever is simplest may be the best.

Added --riplibs like you said here. Right as it re-aligns the apk and before the signing it, it rips the libs that the user doesn't want. Right now it does it only for youtube. Will test and add reddit too since reddit says universal too. Size seems to be dropping by 50% for youtube.

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-09T13:39:07Z

Please make a separate PR with riplibs. Can merge that now.

prateek-who · 2026-02-09T14:37:34Z

Add the CLI changes to the new PR, this PR has those changes and the GUI changes that riplibs needs. I am hoping I did it right here too? Those files won't cause nay conflicts in the future when this merges with dev branch right?

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-02-09T15:07:46Z

Correct there shouldn't be problems after riplibs PR is merged.

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-03-11T09:59:15Z

@wchill @inotia00 Feel free to review.

@prateek-who Please look over everything once more and make any other changes you'd like. If there are no new reviews then I will merge this 2 days from now.

prateek-who · 2026-03-11T13:04:24Z

Will reset and do the remaining changes. Revamping the UI a bit, but maybe I'll release that as a future update.

prateek-who · 2026-03-11T14:16:24Z

I need to be executed for the amount of times I have messed up doing a simple job on git.
Please check out the latest changes. I accidentally committed them a bit too early, but they have the GUI revamp I was talking about. See if they fit they aesthetics morphe wants to go for. Also added ability to add patches from non-morhpe sources too

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-03-11T14:43:44Z

I think a re-write or major changes can be a separate PR so we have CLI release before and after the major changes.

Keep your changes locally and after this PR is merged we can open a second PR work in progress with continued changes.

I will reset to the commit before the overhaul.

prateek-who · 2026-03-11T15:00:07Z

Sure thing. Thanks a lot! Sorry for the mess!

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-03-13T16:11:42Z

@prateek-who Do you use Reddit? Feel free to send a mod message to https://www.reddit.com/r/MorpheApp and we can give a "contributor" flair, and you can make an announcement of this awesome new feature that we will sticky so others can find it.

Or if you're not active on Reddit, then one of the existing mods will make a post announcing this feature.

Will merge this tomorrow.

# Conflicts: # build.gradle.kts # gradle/libs.versions.toml

prateek-who · 2026-03-13T17:06:09Z

Sure thing, will message the mods right away. Excited to see how people will find the whole package now!

Very soon after the launch I have a bit of a gui overhaul planned as well, since I am not happy with how the UI looks (and also the custom patch source update that the manager has).

Would love to write the post. I'll put it up here first so that you can look at it once before I post it?

LisoUseInAIKyrios · 2026-03-13T17:11:23Z

Send a mod message so everyone can review there.

l205306 · 2026-03-16T03:27:36Z

I’m wondering if there’s a way to import a keystore file.

As far as I know, the current approach requires export Morphe settings > uninstall > reinstall > import Morphe settings.

prateek-who · 2026-03-16T05:52:55Z

@l205306 Sorry I'm not very familiar with how the keystore works. I know the gui doens't have that ability yet. I plan to add this, but I wanna know how it works and how I can add it.

My current idea is to add this in the settings panel. Maybe something like a add keystore file. And when the patching is done, it uses this keystore instead of the default one.

What other thing would you require here? Or maybe you have see a better way of doing this. Please tell me your idea.

l205306 · 2026-03-16T07:07:57Z

@prateek-who Maybe users could specify their own keystore file path and saved in the user configuration file. If the path is empty, the GUI will generate a new keystore; otherwise, it will use the keystore from the specified path.

What do you think?

prateek-who · 2026-03-16T07:52:58Z

That does sound good. I'll add this in my gui-overhaul update.

@prateek-who

A few personal notes on the latest GUI for CLI release:

Finally we can costumise settings for some patches! Thank you
I preferred the old UI as it was easier to read
I can't seem to find how to strip unused libraries (ARM-V7 etc...) am I missing something?

Anyways amazing job. Thank you :)

When I can Crowdin translate it let me know!

wchill · 2026-04-18T07:32:24Z

@ArcherLegend there was a bug in library stripping in patcher 1.3.3, so strip libs is not enabled in the current version. It'll be re-enabled soon.

@ArcherLegend

I preferred the old UI as it was easier to read.

Could you point out what exactly is the pain point? Is the color contrast bad? The font family or size is bad?

Font family and UI contrast, personally I find it harder to read.
