Yahoo Finance

A Morphe patch bundle that removes ads from the Yahoo Finance Android app (com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance) at the source — the ads are never fetched, loaded or rendered (not just network-blocked).

What it patches

The app's ad layer is not obfuscated, so each hook matches by exact class + method name (robust across updates). Source lives in patches/src/main/kotlin/app/template/patches/example/.

#	Surface	Method	Change
1	Feed / stream ads (Home, News, QSP lists)	ads.AdFetcher.getNextAd(int)	return a new EmptyAdUnit
2	Home "pencil" banner	home.ad.PencilAdDelegate.canAdBeShown()	return false
3	Markets top ad	markets.ad.MarketsTopCenterAdDelegate.canAdBeShown()	return false
4	Quote page top banner	quote.model.TopCenterAdModule.buildRowViewModel(...)	return null
5	Quote page native/pencil ads (Summary/Analysis/Financials)	quote.model.BasePencilAdModule.buildRowViewModel(...)	return null

Hooks 4 & 5 reuse the app's own "no ad row" path (these methods already return null when an ad is hidden), so there is no placeholder gap and nothing is fetched.

Build the patches bundle (.mpp)

Requires JDK 21+, the Android SDK, and a GitHub read:packages token in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties (gpr.user / gpr.key).

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@24       # any JDK 21+
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
./gradlew buildAndroid
# -> patches/build/libs/patches-1.0.0.mpp

Use it

A) On the phone, via Morphe Manager (recommended for updates)

1. Download the bundle to the phone: https://github.com/isuruhg/fin-tweaks/releases/latest/download/patches.mpp
2. Morphe Manager (v1.16.0+) → add a patch source → import the local .mpp from the file manager.
3. Select Yahoo Finance and patch on-device. Manager merges the split APKs and signs automatically, so future app updates are re-patched entirely on-device.

Note: adding the repo URL as a source currently fails because the Morphe toolchain's GitHub-releases resolver can't parse the API response. Use the local .mpp import (or the direct release-asset URL) instead.

B) On the desktop, via morphe-cli

./repatch.sh com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance_<version>.apkm
adb install -r out/yahoo-finance-noads.apk

Updating for a new app version

Fingerprints are name-based, so minor Yahoo updates usually need no changes — just rebuild and re-patch. If a hook stops matching, the patch log names the failed fingerprint; update that class/method name in Fingerprints.kt.
