[Q] how to clone apps

I play Rage of Bahamut and have activated another account on my iPad. I know with a jail broken iPad you can make duplicate apps so you can switch between accounts without logging out. However, I want to do this on the go with my phone; is there anyway to do this on android? So I could have 2 rage of bahamut apps each logged into a separate account?

Too clunky its only for 1 app so haha I'd rather log out and log back in.

Ok that's the best I got then sorry.

I too play RoB and would really appreciate any devs willing to look into this. Will gladly donate a gratuity for anyone that can come up with a simple solid solution. Thanks

cloning apps on android
You can clone apps with apk editor which makes the the apk then download/use the apks I provided to optimize clone and resign the apk so you can use the same app mmultiple times with different log ins hope this helps

I think it doesn't work in android 5.0. I recently updated to android 5.0 and now it shows the folder "sdcard" And it's empty, hitting the back button then goes to a completely empty screen.

any idea how to clone an app without any appeditor ? just with text editor? or any other solution,?
because I need to clone viber

Try App Cloner. It's in the Play store. Very easy to use, no editing manifests, no root - you really just press a button. Doesn't work for all apps (no Whatsapp, no Facebook Messenger) but Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can be cloned. And there's lots of tuning options... On ART runtime it can inject custom code into the app...you can block tracking or ad hosts!

It's not compatible with CM. I like how it works with stock lollipop but doesn't like CM13 for some reason. Are there any CM(13) compatible app cloners?

This new app NoxApp+ is also a powerful one. Totally free with no ads.

How to copy the premium feature in a cloned application
Hello,
I bought the premium version of APP CLONER, working well and I cloned most of the pro applications like premium live wallpapers like Duck 3D LIVE WALLPAPER, with its premium features also in the cloned version to be used in the same phone with different setting. But some applications like RAINPAPER and Season 3D live wallpaper failed to clone the premium features I bought from play store. Anybody knows how to copy the premium features also to the cloned versions, kindly help me
Thanking You

[Q] 5.0.1 Google Play Edition ROM - Issues running some apps

Just flashed Santod's GPE ROM 5.0.1
SMS and Phone works fine. FB Messenger works fine.
What hasn't been working for me seems random:
- On Twitter the tweets will load but none of the images. Neither avatars nor attached photos in Twitter load.
- Bacon Reader, my reddit app, will either crash upon load or crash when I open a post to view comments
- Spotify crashes instantly on load up. I just get a report or close option when it crashes
- Snapchat opens but videos will neither play nor record. When I try to record it says "Failed to record"
I've only had this ROM for a little over a day so that's all I'm aware of for now. Any insight into why this is happening would be much appreciated. :good:

Keep in mind, not all apps have been updated for L compatibility yet.

My friend has the same apps on his stock lollipop and they run fine.

Gpe is not the same as your everyday aosp like nexus devices get. Because of that different issues can occur in this that don't affect aosp.

Twitter, Snapchat, and Spotify,all work for me just fine.
Only app I haven't tried is the reddit one you mentioned.
I did see someone having similar Snapchat issues on another lollipop ROM, until they formatted their storage, fwiw.
So I would say your issues are local to your device and not the ROM.

I'm not sure how to format. Whats FWIW?
Edit: looked it up...

Did the format fix your problem? I have the same issues, snapchat being my biggest problem. Along with reddit news and instagram crashing, titanium backup won't load either. In ES file explorer all my folders show up as empty but when I plug in to my PC everything is there. Also if the format did work could you help me out with doing that? I have nothing worth saving on the phone memory so I'm not worrying about losing anything. Thanks guys!
Edit: Figured it out all I needed was a format. Sorry should have tried it first.

OS 4.6.1 vs 3.6.8(unlocked GSM 32gig)

Fire OS 4.6.1 on unlocked GSM 32gig Fire Phone
Notable changes,
Finally we have native wallpaper support
Different slightly improved lock screen notifications
Smart dialer
Ability to switch default SMS/MMS and Keyboard apps
New Dev. Options
Ability to force quit and(or) Disable bloatware apps
Widgets seem to be working well
More detailed settings for Low Motion/Dynamic perspective(specifically for lockscreen, homescreen, and maps)
Google maps is now seemingly 100% functional
Ability to toggle switch cellular data(2g,3g,LTE)
Google Play and GAPPs still working well
Also we now have a bluetooth keyboard config. in our settings
New Emoticons
Status bar is semi-transparent and looks really nice despite lack of persistent icon notifications
Addition of print services pack(HP, Canon, Epson)
Updated Sounds and Notifications settings(
Things that sadly remained the same
No status bar notifications
Cannot individually clear calls or messages from carousel
Still not native android
Notifications seem hit and miss as usual
No Graphical updates or graphical setting in stock message or dialer apps
Camera seems to be the same and I'm still having having better luck with the google camera
App drawer functions the same(new options in app info though)
Overall function of the O.S. seems to improve a lot. Smooth scrolling through the carousel, less if not no lag at all on sleep/wake, and just all in all more pleasing to look at.
I updated manually by downloading the .bin and moving it to the home folder and searching for update with wifi/data off, and because of that I am unsure if the new att bloatware apps were part of the update due to my carrier or if they were packaged inside the update bin which was a shocking 1.3gb. Even though I am fairly certain that those apps are my fault in the first place I feel the need to warn that the U.S. att .bin file could have that affect and unlocked users may want to wait for the OTA just to play it safe. There is however a great guide on here explaining the process and linking quite a few files(for those who can't wait).
**This did work for me however if it does not work for you I am not at fault, sideload at your own risk**
Feel free to add what you find I know I missed a few things but since there is no apparent changelog from amazon I figured I'd try to compile a small unofficial changelog of sorts.
Tried Towelroot Its been hung at the towelroot screen with a highlighted "make it rain" button for about ten mins... I'm going to leave it running for a while and see if anything happens but I'm assuming its still a no go.
I've seen issues regarding call audio, google services and a few other things but I personally haven't been able to recreate them and fortunately haven't had them in the first place.

Camera seems faster in taking photos for me. Also there is an auto HDR setting, before it was either on or off.

So, matsnackson do you think that is better to install (sideload) the Google-Camera APP, and used it instead of the default Amazon Camera APP?
Could you please, let us know what differences or improvements do you have noticed, if you use the Google Camara APP instead of the Amazon one?

Notable changes
- Chooseable colors for mail accounts and calendars, but there aren't too much colors to choose to.
Things that sadly remained the same
- Shared Google calendars won't show up in the/any calendar app, that's very very annoying

I second your opinion as I have not been able to conect my LG G watch to Fire phone with 4.6.1.
Also sideloding Google play services and play store worked fine for few minutes after which the play services auto updates when I install google search and now from Playstore.
After this any sideloaded google apps start hanging with white screen and circle clock running. Uninstall and install after factory resets also did not help.

I've been using the stock camera app for a few days and it seems to be better than I first thought but I still prefer the google camera app, but at this point it seems to be my personal preference... I really just feel more comfortable with the google camera app.(long time nexus user)
I have seen quite a few people with the google play issues and I tried removing then reloading google services and google play but i havent had any issues the only advice i can give is to remove and try again making sure to pay close attention to the order you install the packages(there is a specific order, and a few great guides on here)

The LG watch seems to be common issue as well but I don’t have one to test with, I'll look into buying one and see what I can do. Until then the only advice I have is to unpair the watch and your phone and reboot before attemting to repair the two. Good luck and sorry.

I'll third this. I feel like Amazon is intentionally crippling Google services, and I've already ordered a replacement phone.
These are services that run fine on what, 99% of Android phones?

Honestly I don't think this is intentionally being done by either side, we run an outdated version of android so naturally were going to see at least a few compatibility issues, have you tried a factory reset and full reload of play services in order? Also be patient with 4.6.1 from everything I've read its not technically official on the unlocked phones yet.

I did want to add in as well that my battery life seems much better than before I actually forgot to charge this for two days and still had 30%( I disabled low motion setting and don't use auto brightness, but none the less that's a great battery life)

I'm looking forward to the update. I feel changing your keyboard is a few months late, but I'd be happy to finally have swiftkey back. I'm running an unlocked Fire Phone with 3.6.8. Amazon doesn't even acknowledge a new update on their Fire Phone update page. Perhaps it's in some sort of beta as they harvest data before making it official?

That was cleared up in the OTA thread this is unofficial at this point those who have it either got lucky or manually installed it, I personally used the at&t bin file even though I have the unlocked 32gig.

Guys,
I got my Fire Phone unlocked updated to new 4.6.1 but after the update I am unable to see the Maps icon. I am currently in Australia but the phone is an unlocked US version. Do I reset or is it something Amazon has done?

Apps using their own camera mirrored

Looks like a developer issue and common for all of us (so more of a Marshmallow issue vs. a 5X) - https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/3pmrda/mirrored_camera_on_5x/

Same issue.
Deposited a check and the camera was upside down and reversed.
Scanned a barcode into Myfitnesspal and the same thing happened.

noticed this on a barcode scanner.
works fine w/ default camera app.
same problem with camera zoomfx

barcode scanner app was fixed today by its developers.. just updated and it no longer mirrors. so, every app has to be updated

I use Walgreen's to pick up my prescriptions and every time I go to scan the barcode its upside down its kinda annoying I just ended up typing in the number and also had the same issue using the "scan your card" feature in amazon when you add a new card the camera was upside down its a little annoying but its crazy at what kind of bugs new software can have its a little humorous

It's actually funny that you mention that. I have the ZXing barcode scanner app too and the first day I had the Nexus 5X I noticed the same thing. Just checked now and it's fine.

I have the same issue with the Amazon app. scanner. What I don't understand is that why does this only affect the 5X. A friend's 6P doesn't face this issue in any of the same apps installed on that device??

The camera is mounted upside down in the 5x
The new camera API tells software that so it can flip it over, but apps using the old API just use the camera as it is mounted

They released an update to it a week or so ago which fixed the issue. I have other apps that still make the wrong api calls and get upside down images.

Photos from Google Camera do not show up in Instagram

Hi,
I recently moved to the google camera (using the modded apk, containing HDR+ and 60fps video), however one issue I have found is that the pictures do not show up in any of the Instagram categories other than Other... However, Gallery and other apps like Facebook see them normally.
Oneplus 3
Android 7.1.1 OOS
Rooted with Magisk
Any help would be great,
Thanks

Just check your gallery already!
Different camera apps have different picture saving indexes thus something it doesn't show up .
Just check gallery app

Here's the 'Camera' selection, the ones in the red box are taken with stock. The other ones are with the Google camera.

No clue haha could be..

So after a huge amount of digging through file details and such, I believe I have found the reason why this happens and how I can show it easily.
The cause is down to the "Profile date/time" within the EXIF of the Google camera photos. It is not correctly set, so apps read it incorrectly. This can be shown in Snapchat, where the date of a photo is from the year 49429 etc. I assume this is because Snapchat does not expect the date to include the day, and therefore it funks up all it's formatting: ht tp://i.imgur.com/CVaV1lc.png (remove space)
F-Stop was the only app I could use to actually find this attribute, and as shown, it displays the incorrect profile date/time. I compared this to my OnePlus 3s stock camera EXIF which did not report any profile/date time, which I assume Snapchat then read the normal date time and passed it correctly htt p://i.imgur.com/xj0sK4N.png
So from here, I believe the APK will need to be changed to correctly report the correct date time in the correct format OR report no "Profile date/time" so that the default date time is read instead. This should then fix all the ordering issues happening with WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram.

I've just noted that this version seems to have fixed this issue ht tps://github.com/gladiac1337/gcam

I have the same problem. Had to go to "others" under Instagram to visualize the pictures, and it is still cumbersome to choose as it jumps back to gallery when you go back.
