request for a new build of Telegram 12.1

[DavidCGranger]

Would it be possible to build a new build of Telegram 12.1 that includes at least the ability to disable the update check? It is the last version to predate the new Liquid Glass message box and sticker picker.

Why you don't want to use 12.3.4.0?

[DavidCGranger]

That has the liquid glass message box and sticker picker, which I hate Sent from [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) for Android.

Oh god...

I mean, if nobody here is willing to do it, maybe I can pull something together myself at some point if I have the time and motivation, but I have never built Telegram before, so I just thought I'd ask Sent from [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) for Android.

12.3.4.0 has at least 900 downloads, so pretty much people live fine with pre-total-liquid ui.

[DavidCGranger]

I know, I know, I wouldn't be that annoyed about 12.3 either if the new sticker picker didn't hide the name of the sticker pack. The old one showed it

That's what I'm missing about the new sticker picker (I hope I didn't show anything bad in the screencast)

[23rd]

That's the point.
But perhaps it will be easier to bring this specific thing instead of back-port 12.1 version...

[DavidCGranger]

I'd be ok with either, I just thought it would be easier to do a 12.1 build, but if you say otherwise, porting it to a newer version is probably the better solution anyway

[23rd]

Let's clarify. Do you want the names of your sticker packs to appear and the previews to enlarge when scrolling horizontally?

[DavidCGranger]

Yeah, that's the main thing I'm missing

[DavidCGranger]

Should I rename the issue?
