New interface

How to get modern Discord UI on Aliucord

This is not really possible due to Aliucord using an old Discord version. However, there are two themes (DiscordRN Dark & Discord Midnight theme) that replicate the color & font of it (the UI itself is not possible to replicate).

Alternatively, you can search for another modified Discord client that uses the new version instead of the old one here.

Old version

Reasons of why Aliucord uses an old Discord version

  1. The new Discord app is React Native while the Discord version that Aliucord uses (126.21) is Kotlin. React Native is a framework for building apps using JavaScript, which is not as performant as Kotlin code. Discord’s React Native version is known to have performance issues, especially on lower-end devices, because the app has been ported from iOS over to Android.

  2. Everything would need to be rewritten, wasting time, considering how bad the new Discord version is.

  3. Aliucord developers don’t like to work with the new one. Notice from the AliucordRN repository

  4. If Aliucord ceases to exist, there wouldn’t be any active clients using the good old Discord version. Bluecord situation

  5. Features from new Discord versions can be backported to the old one, and many already have been. What does backporting mean?

  6. Modded clients for the new Discord version already exist, such as Kettu.

How to logcat

Note: You will need a computer, if you don’t have one, read this instead.

A logcat provides invaluable information about any errors that occurred in our app(s) or related errors on your device for further debugging. (Do NOT apply ANY filters!)

You will need:

  1. Enable USB debugging in your phone’s developer options
  2. Run the following command in a terminal (cmd for Windows): adb logcat -c
  3. If you have not previously authorized adb on your phone, open it now and authorize your pc
  4. Now open Aliucord and reproduce the issue
  5. Run the following command now: adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
  6. The generated logcat will be in your user home directory
