guide to ad-free youtube for mobile via. youtube revanced

since youtube vance is no longer maintained and youtube is cracking down on adblockers here is how to download youtube revanced which has the best options for customising youtube features; including removing youtube shorts popups, sponsorship segments in videos, hiding unused buttons, bringing back dislikes, and more! [official revanced github]

this guide is for android only. sorry apple users idk how to help you. your device doesn't have to be rooted. even if it is, you should still be able to follow this guide. if you have youtube vanced installed, revanced shouldn't clash, so you don't have to uninstall it if you don't want to.

installation guide:

1. download all 3:

i. microg (this will let you log into your youtube account) [apk mirror] (scroll past description, download the latest one)

ii. revanced manager apk [github] (select the latest release, scroll to the bottom in assets, install the .apk file)

iii. latest youtube apk [apk mirror]

2. open revanced manager

3. select in this order: "patcher" -> "select an application" -> "storage" (note: if your phone asks you to let the app have storage access, say yes)

[id. two screenshots of the revanced manager app. there are red markings drawn overtop, indicating areas to select mentioned in step 3. the three spots are circled by a red square, an arrow pointing towards it, and a circle with a marked number to indicate the order at the end of each arrow. id end.]

4. select the youtube apk you downloaded

5. select patches. you can tap "recommended" or "default" or turn on/off patches you want

6. once you have selected, select: "done" -> "patch"

7. wait as it intialises youtube revanced. when it's done select "install" (note: if your phone gives you a warning that the app is blocked, select: "more details" -> "install anyway")

8. if this worked, you should have youtube revanced installed, and you can log in like normal. if this didn't work, read the next part.

(under the read more are troubleshooting solutions + other alternative apps)

issue a) if the botom right now says "open"

1. select: 3 dots on the top right -> "export apk"

2. save it

3. open whatever file browsing app you use (most phones should have a default one that comes pre-installed called something like "files" or "my files". if you don't have one, you can go to the play store and search "files" and pick one. if you aren't sure, i use "files by google")

4. find the exported file and install it (it will be called something like "youtube-revanced-versionnumber.apk")

5. if this worked, you should have youtube revanced installed, and you can log in like normal. if this didn't work, you can read the next part.

issue b) can't build or install youtube revanced with no option to export

1. something may have gone wrong with the file installation at some point, so try a clean start. to do this, uninstall:

i. revanced manager

ii. youtube revanced

iii. microg

iv. (optional) disable/uninstall the default youtube app

2. follow guide from step 1 again, hopefully it works. if it's still not working, you can try other alternatives. i've listed some in the next part of this post

alternatives:

libretube, newpipe, songtube, vuetube, astron, puretuber

i haven't used any of these personally, but i haven't seen any problems with them. let me know if there are and i'll remove it from the list.

you can also use youtube through your web browser with adblock add-ons. i'm not sure whether youtube has affected their mobile site though. with the firefox app you can use ublock origins (for ads) + youtube high definition (for general quality fixes)

ALRIGHT! buckle up and get your phone ready, im gonna show you how to use mods for dol on your phone! Also gonna say this but NO ITS NOT AVAILABLE IN IOS SORRY!! It's only available in android!!!

Now let's start the ball rolling!

First of all, go ahead and download dol- the normal version, not the apk! Once downloaded just set it aside for now.

The next step is simple really, you need to download an apk that will let you play the game! Luckily there's an apk made to play dol on it, which is Joiplay! You just need to search it up on Chrome or Google and click on this site where it will direct you to the page, now you just have to click on the download button and pick Joiplay.

Once you downloaded the app, we're now on to the mods! Now go ahead and download whichever visual mod you want to use, I recommend on visiting the dol mod discord to check some good visual mods! The mod I'm using is Goose's mod, and here's the link to the mod (https://gitgud.io/goose/createshit)

Next is now the extracting! Once you downloaded dol and the mod you want you have to open up your file manager, long press the zip and choose the extract button, and pick extract here. Do the same process with your mods!

(I recommend downloading this app so it'll be easier to manage the files once you extracted the zip!)

After you finished extracting dol and the mods (gonna use goose's mod as an example) you now have to open the folder of the mod, long press the img folder and click on move, navigate to the dol folder and now press paste.

Wait for a bit for this to pop up

Make sure to click on the apply to all folders part! Then click on the merge button. Then this will pop up next!

Again, make sure to click on apply to all files and finally click on the overwrite!

Now you just have to wait for a bit until everything is done.

Once that's done you'll have to open the Joiplay app to add dol! It's easy, just touch the plus symbol on the top right corner, click on add game and choose the download folder! Now go and find the dol folder.

Click on it and tap on the html file and choose.

AND YOU'RE DONE!!!

BUT! You do need to open the game and check the character creation/viewer to see if the mod works (since I used goose's mod only the male character would change and not the female.)

Hope this is helpful enough! If you're gonna use bee's and hikari's mod then please go and check on the dol mods discord as it needs a few mods to work if I remember correctly.

✦ AN UPDATE ON THE PHONE / TABLET VERSION OF LOST IN LIMBO'S DEMO!

Hello folks! 💜 As you know, our demo is coming in three days, so here's an update on the android / iOS version!

✪ You will be able to play Lost in Limbo on Android via itch.io on August 21st!

Yep! You'll be able to download the .apk file and install it on your device via our itch.io page.

✪ What about Google Play Store?

Google Play Store is currently reviewing the demo and hopefully it'll be up for the 21st. If not, we'll make sure to let you all know! It'll be up sooner than later!

✪ And what about iOS / Apple Store?

We are going to be honest here. Uploading an app to the Apple Store is hell. It's sisyphus and the rock. And it's 99 dollars a year. Sadly, the demo won't be coming to the Apple Store in a good while if it does at all. We are very sorry :')

We hope this answers any questions you may have about the portable (portable?) version! We are sorry it's not all good news, but we hope you are excited anyway for our demo! 💜

in all seriousness, how would you even administrate a ban of an app? like... they can have it removed from the app stores, sure, or in what i would call extremely unlikely or bizarre circumstances, it could be used as evidence to justify arrest or pressing charges, maybe in the worst case scenario the web domain could be blocked by ISPs or the physical location of US hosting servers could be raided, and of course i'm not trying to downplay the severity of any those things, but like...

you can't... physically prevent anyone from circulating or installing an APK file. i'm sure removing it from app stores WOULD effectively prevent 99% of its userbase from accessing it, and it's not that i want to place the blame on them, but like... i do have to say this is ""totalitarianism"" for ipad babies and ipad babies only.

i think the average user is smarter about software than the house of representatives obviously is but like. if they were 10% smarter it would become impossible to administrate. by which i mean maybe a few hours of learning about it. maybe let's all start doing that, huh? if you can't reinstall a new operating system on your phone, enable unapproved app installation, or access developer mode, you do not really know how to use your phone, do you? all of these things are purposefully easier on android btw. and in a mad twist of irony they DO make you more vulnerable to malware

i would also like to point out i don't know of one comparable instance of historical precedent. what software has ever been banned? yes i know google street view in parts of the EU and facebook in myanmar and pakistan. i would not call those comparable (?) because it's not like a software ban (?). pirate bay i guess is closer (because they did perform physical raids, right). and how's that going for them

As the person I follow who does reverse engineering, do you have any suggestions for finding resources on reverse engineering Android apps?

Specifically, there's an app I'm playing with, where after seeing the structure of the "export as Markdown" output I want to know what the internal structure and representation of the data is. The end goal of understanding it is to be able to add certain kinds of data dynamically, rather than up front. That's certainly doable typing in raw markdown, but being able to do it "app style" would be more convenient.

The google Play Store entry does not mention any open source licenses, or looking for the source code and hopefully a git repo or something would have been my first step.

(I'll probably need to bang together a crappy app to do what I really want regardless, but maybe this app's data structure would be more convenient than doing so with markdown.)

So, android stuff:

First you need the APK. You can do some trickery with your phone to pull it over the ADB connection if you install the android SDK, but generally I just google "app name APK" and you'll find some greymarket site that'll give you a copy.

Secondly, APKs are just ZIP files (JAR files, technically, but JAR files are also just ZIP files!). Unzip them and you can find lots of interesting stuff, often.

For disassembling/decompiling them, my go-to program is jadx. It's a java decompiler that's been around a while and can natively open APK files and decompile them. There's some weirder new APKs that it can't handle (something to do with a newer bytecode revision, I think?) but I can't recall the details on how you handle those. Those are rare, in my experience. jadx is pretty good, but you'll occasionally find methods or entire classes that it just can't figure out, and it'll give you a bytecode dump. I don't yet have a good solution for those, other than "get good at reading JVM bytecode".

If you're dealing with games, another useful thing can be UABE and dotPeek. These are unity/C# tools, but you would be surprised how many android games (and non-games!) are actually unity under the hood.

Bluestacks can also be useful, because it'll let you run the app on your desktop and that can be handy for things like running WireShark to log all network traffic.

Speaking of logging, the other handy thing I've done is enabling android developer mode on my phone to get to one specific option: Bluetooth HCI snoop log.

Now, actually getting that log is tricky and varies from phone to phone, because for some reason manufacturers like to move it around, but it's one of the best ways to reverse engineer bluetooth communication stuff. You basically turn on the log and everything your phone does to communicate with your Smart Toothbrush or whatever will be logged to a file, then you can yank that file over and stuff it into Wireshark.

So... hopefully some of that is a helpful start? I've not done a huge amount of Android reversing so I'm not super familiar with the tools used, but these are the ones I've got on hand for when I do.

also sorry for all the horny robotgirl posters who saw "android reverse engineering" in the tags and thought this was gonna be about taking them apart with screwdrivers and rooting around in their insides. Not today!

I can't fucking delete Google from my phone. Why can't I delete Google from my phone? I fucking paid money for this shit, I don't care that you make the operating system, I don't want your shitty search engine with all this fucking AI. I want to have the right to defile and deface, BECAUSE I PAID FUCKING MONEY FOR THIS SHITTY BRICK!

You know why I buy Android phones, Google? Because it is substantially easier with Android to not get absorbed into an ecosystem that makes it difficult to use anything else.

I use Android because I could decide one day that I am bored and use my Android phone to jailbreak a 3DS. I can go online and download a .apk for your shitty video sharing platform, but without abhorrent monetization, and with dislikes returned, or I could download an .apk for an app which has been long since removed from the app store.

You are the supplier, I am the consumer, and you stop supplying when I stop consuming.

I do not want to consume your search engine, so you shouldn't be forcibly supplying it. I shouldn't have to connect my phone to a PC so I can use the thing i own in the ways which I want.

Where is our right to deface and defile? Where is our right to own what we buy? Where is the right to repair?

[metaphorspears]

is the knock knock app safe for Android installation? I'm a little skeptical of download files onto my phone T﹏T

Hello!! it is safe 😭 we really wanted to go on playstore but it takes 1 month for Google to review a new app, that's why we settle for android apk for now. You can check out our discord where many Android and iOS users are happily using it 🥹 or you can wait till we launch on Playstore - I totally get the concern :3

[drizzileiscool]

trying to get twewy solo mix to work on my phone, but not having any luck (please help if possible, I really want to get into twewy)

Why solo mix? I can't afford the switch version, and I can't play the ds version without emulation.

I have a 2022 moto g stylus. I do not own a pc, laptop, or any sort of computer. The only console I have is a 2017 model switch (slightly broken, meaning I can't play in handheld, and I'm forced to use pro controller for everything)

I recently decided that I would like to get into twewy, but I've been having some trouble doing so. I saw a thread on reddit where a person wanted to download solo mix, but couldn't since it didn't work on their phone (link to the thread)

in the thread, there was a patched version of solo mix that could run on newer phones (it's the google drive link in the thread btw), so i downloaded it.

The zip file came with an apk and another file, which I was supposed to place in the obb folder inside the android folder in my phone's files. I did exactly that.

Whenever I try to load the game, I get this screen that says I need to download an update.

Clicking the download button doesn't do anything, and I'm stuck on this screen unable to do anything

If anyone knows about why this is happening, please help

UPDATE: IT HAS BEEN RESOLVED

Starting the app creates a new folder in android/obb, which is where the .obb file was actually supposed to go. After placing it there, the game starts normally!

[recreationaldivorce]

Where do you get your mobile browsers from? R they on f droid? (I haven't looked but I will o7)

F-droid has Mull yeah. When I was using mobile Firefox I was using FFUpdater to get it, since Firefox isn't on F-Droid. I only have F-Droid and Aurora for package managers on my personal phone. But if you have GrapheneOS and need Google Play services you may as well install apps from the Google Play Store that GOS's sandboxed Google Play offers, not much point having Aurora Store if you have sandboxed GPlay

Edit: Oh if you meant Vanadium, it comes pre-installed with GrapheneOS and afaik is not distributed/intended for use outside of GrapheneOS, but I'm sure you can find an apk somewhere or compile it yourself if not

[arcplaysgames]

Man do y'all remember when I was sad at the start of P4G because the game did not adequately pat my head and feed me soup and give me friends on day one like P3P did

that was fucking little leagues. I'm gonna light everyone in this game on fire.

Anyway, we are in the tutorial stages so lemme sum up except with there's weird shit I wanna pontificate on.

Reverie missed a bunch of school on his first day with frankly doesn't look amazing for him. We met Ryoji GODDAMN RYUJI on the roof, because all Persona games love the school roof, and he wants to go back to the App World so he can poke around on Kamoshida.

There is palpably some Beef between Ryuji and Kamoshida. There is some fucking t-bone 3-inch cut that I have seasoned in mushroom salt and fresh ground pepper and left to air-dehydrate for three days, there is soooo much beef between them.

In the Not-Velvet Room-- Look, I am gonna start calling it the VR for efficiency's skae but be aware I do not think this is actually the Velvet Room, or if it is then someone has booted Igor and is pretending to be him.

But yeah Notigor says our rehabilitation can begin and I just wanna claw my hair out. What's funny is I know for a lot of fans, Persona 5 was their entry point. Did they know this was as severely fucked as it is? I feel like the game is pushing Fucked As Hell vibes pretty well, so maybe it was obvious even to the initiated.

Oh so Notigor is the one pushing the unauthorized APK onto my phone. I think Reverie is rocking a Samsung, it's got that Chonk to it.

Also, I dunno what it's called in the Japanese... hang on, to google!

Isekainabi, or "Otherworldnavi" that's pretty good. Which, the adjustment of "navi" to "nabi" reminds me that Japanese doesn't use 'v' does it? Or.... wait.... R is also a no, right?

(That is shit I learned from fucking Metal Gear Solid 2 actually, because my beloved Problematic Fave Kojima called the big villains the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo, because they were 'invisible', they weren't even a part of the language, metaphorically speaking, which when I understand that I thought was fucking smart as hell, though I imagine the original voice actors who had to say it a lot and rapidly did not agree.)

ANYWAY I AM GETTING DISTRACTED, POINT IS, I picked a hilariously un-apt name with Reverie Vantas. That is a tongue-twister and I am sorry.

what the fuck was i even talking about OH YEAH Netscape Navigator, yeah. That's our Dark Hour/TV World, the Metaverse. I find it cursorily interesting that Persona has many different manifestations of the whole Jungian Collective Subconsciousness. P4's TV World was fully separated and impossible to access without the power of Persona. But Reverie and Ryuji stumbled like idiots into the....

wait, that cutscene from the start, that was Reverie's awakening to Persona. So what caused it. Also: Is that relevant to the mystery here like it was in P4, because in P4 that was super important, and I would prefer it wasn't Super Important again lmao.

God the Izanami thing was dumb. ANY FUCKING WAY.

I briefly meet THAT ONE GIRL FROM THE INTRO on the train, and her personality traits seem to be "worryingly doormat-ish" and "thin'

Like man, P5R is not hitting me over the head with DIET SODA ADS but we are still fatphobic, don't forget! BTW if you want a Persona game that doesn't do that shit, P3P Girl Route baybeeeee best Persona.

I am apprently ribbon girl's senpai and she bows to me twice nad runs off to school. Later, gator.

holy shit this game doesn't fuck around with its classroom questions, are you kidding me

also I am sitting behind Moot in class. how's your life been since relinquishing 4chan, moot? I hope it's better.

Mitsuru would use her rapier to carve you like a chunk of roast.

Kamoshida's influence over everyone is kind of baffling to me. It's a VOLLEYBALL TEAM. Oh is that the Japanese equivalent of a football team? Because then I TOTALLY GET IT, CARRY ON.

Like, I understand sort of academically that having sports teams is good for students but also I fucking hate school sports culture. Dunno if its as vile in Japan as in America but if its even half as bad, yeah, abolish it.

Ryuji is so far not the brightest bulb on the tree, bless him. He keeps trying to locate a castle and getting frustrated. Finally, we put him out of his confused misery and use the app to make castle happen.

HE IS JEALOUS! In almost every jock there is a theatre kid's soul, crying to get out.

Ryuji has like no indoor voice, Morgana, I am sorry.

Also, I have so far zero indication of Morgana's gender, which I do like. 8) Gender don't matter, just don't call me a fucking cat.

There is a huge tutorial section, and I immediately understand why this game is +100 long, these sequences are much more complicated now. There's psuedo-stealth mechanics? Blurgh.

Ryuji wants to save the volleyball slaves and Morgana explains that these aren't actually them, they are cognitive copies that are.... essentially the projection Kamoshida has of each person in the school.

I don't wanna be a jerk Persona but this is adding more and more complexity to your already complex world. But maybe I am still in P4G mode, where every aspect of how the Midnight Channel worked was a clue. At this point, there is no central mystery.

hey yo what the fuck

Somehow Kamoshida broke Ryuji's fucking leg?????

What the fuck happened there? Also yeah, Ryuji, I don't know you super well yet but I'm with you, we can wreck this guy. Holy shit.

boy howdy getting your persona stings a bit in this one huh

Ryuji has Captain Kidd as his, with is pretty fun NGL. So our theme is literally Various Types Of Thieves in this game, huh? I'm cool with that.

You can truly, permanently, delete bloatware off your phone!

It genuinely stresses me out on a spiritual level that so many of you are just walking around with bloatware on your phone that your phone companies have convinced you are “necessary” or can’t actually be deleted (like that fucking netflix app, I’m looking at you), so you just hide it, shove it into a folder and put it out of the way of sight, or the only slightly better, “disable” when it lets you.

You can actually remove those. Not disable, not hide. Full on, straight up delete, removed, disappeared, gone. And no, you don’t need to root or jailbreak your phone to do this! That’s what they want you to think!

You will need a PC, and a your phone > PC cable, but it’s so easy and it works for all modern android phones. I’ve completely emptied my last like, 3 phones of bullshit this way. It’s the first thing I do whenever I get a new phone.

Step 1, install APK Analyzer, or another APK package inspector. This will tell you every single package installed on your phone, down to the system file ones. You’ll need the ones you want to remove, and this will tell you exactly what they are. They’ll be named something like “com.android.google.xxx” Alternatively, you can look up a list online for the obvious ones, like googles.

2. Download and unzip Android Platform tools from the official website on your PC, it doesn’t matter where, anywhere you can easily find it. I’ll put the link here https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools but if you’re safety conscious and don’t click links you can also just search “android platform tools” in an engine.

3. In your phone, go into settings, search for build number, tap it 7 times. After about three, it tells you how many taps away you are from entering “developer mode.” You may have to enter your pin, but developer mode will be enabled.

4. Then in the newly unlocked developer options, turn on “USB debugging.” This effectively allows you to control your phone from your PC once connected, I’m about to tell you exactly how.

5. Connect your phone to your PC. Wait for it to finish making all the annoying connection sounds while it sorts itself out. Hit allow on the options that appear on your phone. Go to the platform-tools folder you just extracted, and in the file browser panel, where it’ll say something like “D:\Users\YourPC\Documents\Phone Hax\platform-tools“, type “cmd” without quotes and hit enter. This opens up the command prompt in this file location, so you don’t need to faff about getting there through the cmd.

6. In the cmd, type in “adb devices” without quotes, hit enter. Your phone model should come up after it throws a bit of a conniption (more annoying sounds), under a named list of “devices attached“ you should see your phone model number, and “device.” This means the computer can see your phone, and they’re ready to communicate. Now type “adb shell” without quotes, hit enter, and you’re ready to start swatting these apps away like flies.

7. Now for the fun part. You can freely go into the APK analyzer app you installed earlier and go dig out all that shit you wish you could banish from your eyesight and one by one start removing them. To do this, type, without quotes, “pm uninstall --user 0“ followed by the package name.

For example, removing GMail would look like this

“pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gm”

Hit enter, it’ll say “Success,” and that’s it. It’s gone. It’s been deleted off your phone. Not disabled, not hidden. Banished. Removed.

When you’re done, just unplug your phone, go back into developer options, unclick debugging mode, turn developer mode off, and voila, your phone is now officially more “yours” than the phone companies would have you believe. Clears space, removes corporate spyware, and take note of how much longer your battery lasts, too!

You’re in more control than you think, these are your phones, make sure they act like it!

Disclaimer!: Be very careful deleting system apps! Don’t do the equivalent of deleting system32 or something. If you’re unsure, look it up, and most things can be redownloaded later if you make a mistake.

I've been wanting to make a tutorial for how I make gifs for a while, so I finally decided to make one. I figured people would be interested in how I make fairly hq gifs using only my phone.

There are pictures (breaking this up into two parts becuase and I have too many pictures) and explanations for each step of my process, so if anything doesn't make sense feel free to reach out!

I use two programs to make my gifs: inshot pro and photopea. Photopea, if you don't know, is a good free version of photoshop. You can make your gifs simply by using photopea, but I like to use inshot to make my gifs and color them.

To get inshot pro, all you have to do is google "inshot pro apk" and you'll be able to find the paid version free. The one I used was from "inshotapk.net" You should have no problem unless your phone doesn't allow you to download outside apps.

All you have to do with Photopea is look it up and it will bring you to the site. One thing: I have noticed that Photopea works better on Chrome than it does on FireFox, so just FYI.

This is what the beginning screen of Inshot looks like. To get started on your gif, click on the "video" option and it will bring up all the videos you have in your camera roll, so just click the one you want and it will bring you to the next screen.

This is what the screen will look like once your video opens.

To get to the part in my video that I want to gif, I go into precut and slide until I get to the general area that I want, than I select the checkmark and use the sliders on either side of the video to narrow it down to the exact part I want.

This is an option that depends on what side of gif you want. If I wanted the standard 540x304 px, I would leave it with no frame. But since I want a 540x 540 px gif, I selected the 1:1 option and dragged it to where I wanted to gif.

Next up, I do speed. Most of the time I do 0.70, but if the gifs are short or the movement is very fast I'll go down lower.

Now comes the fun part: Coloring! Select the filter option and then select adjust. The first thing I do is sharpen, I turn it all the way up to 100. Next, I do film grain, I usually turn it between 30-60.

Next I do lightness and contrast. If the scene is really dark, I'll usually turn the lightness all the way up. I never do that much contrast probably about 10 usually.

Then I do warmth. Sliding warmth to the left gives the gif a vague blueish coolness, while sliding warmth to the right gives the gif a vague orangeish warmth.

Next up, I do tint. Sliding tint to the left gives a greenish color to the gif, while sliding tint to the right gives a pinkish color to the gif.

Next up, I do saturation. I usually don't do a lot of saturation, because adding too much makes the gif very orange.

Next, I do shadow. I usually slide shadow to the left which deepens the colors, but if the gif is incredibly dark, I slide it to the right which brightens the gif even more.

Next, I do hue, which is the opposite of tint. So, to the left is pinkish and to the right is greenish. I usually do a greenish tint and a pinkish hue.

Defense Witches Past World 2 - Part 1 (Memu Method)

LINK TO PART 2

Heyo, I JUST MADE A BREAK THROUGH WITH TWO DIFFERENT METHODS TO PLAY PAST WORLD 2

Okay not exactly all the hard work fo this method of getting the game working again goes to Kinac The Frog (@/allforest01) on Youtube who discovered how to play past world 2 + an added bonus :) on Memu (Calling It Memu Method) and DWNicola for sharing their data with Kinac to make this method possible

I would say the Memu method is definetly worth the effort that needs to be put into it for its added bonus with the end result however its also significantly more complicated and takes a lot of time which is why I'm sharing this tutorial with added pictures to make the process easier (and maybe save time not having to watch the programs download in real time in the video)

If you have complications with this method, would rather play the game on mobile devices (android only sorry >_<), or are okay with replaying the whole game with the vanilla experience I would recommend the easy method

EASY METHOD

For those of you who are willing to go through the process I screenshoted the entire process, which came to around 38 screenshots.... this is gonna take a while but... LET DO THIS

Here is the Video

What is Needed?

To begin, I want to specify the tutorial is done on a Windows computer I'm not sure how doing this would work on Mac or how this would work on Apple & Android phones (we are basically emulating a phone)

You will need...

A Computer/Laptop

Memu https://www.memuplay.com/

The App itself: Download either from google play store (from account that had it previously) or an apk

App data Folder: this is provided in the description of the video and was provided by thee DW Nicola (confirmed here sort by newest comment)

X-plorer File Manager: Download from playstore

App Data

This is provided in the description of the video but I'll share it here as well here you will need the app data folder and if your going the apk method an apk to the game is provided here as well

Before Opening Memu

Here is a list of some of the necessary things to have/do before opening Memu for the first time and arguably the easiest part of this whole process (It doesn't get easier T_T)

If your going APK route make sure to have it downloaded before opening Memu

Download the App Data Folder (Should be a zip file)

Extract The Zip File

Setting Up Memu

The video jumps around a bit sometimes stopping in a middle of a step below to download something however to make it easier here is some of the basic setup you may need to do

Open Memu and complete the Download and Installation

Once on home screen click gear on the far right task bar

Enable Root Mode (move the switch to on)

Downloading Defense Witches (APK Method)

You should have the apk already dowloaded onto your computer

Click APK button on the far right

Click on Defense Witches APK to install

Data Transfer

Here is the start of transfering the app data on your computer to the emulator

Open Defense Witches (I'm not sure if you need to fully play the first stage in order for the files to show up or if you can exit right away but I would play through the first level)

Fully Exit and Close Defense Witches (Click Square and slide right + click on x on the top tab)

Open X-plore File Manager

Click on Root File on the left side 

Open the preinstalled File Manager (Inside the tools folder) we aren't using this to change game files. We are only using this to check if transfer of the app data folder is successful.

Click Download Folder

Click Shared Folder

Click on windows button under shared download path

Copy and Paste (or click and drag) the extracted app data folder into the newly open file

When you check back into the preinstalled File Manager it should appear meaning it sucessfully transfered over

Close the pre installed File manager

Reopen X-plore File Manager

Running out of space for the next step (a lot of images very complicated T_T) I'll be continuing this tutorial in part 2 see you then :D

Oh No! The Discord Update Sucks!

Here's how to revert it:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/discord-inc/discord-chat-for-gamers/

Psst, I went back to the september 6th stable release cause the most recent ones weren't working and i didn't want to try all of them until I found a working one. Here is the link for the september 6th release, or if you want to copy-paste or screenshot elsewhere: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/discord-inc/discord-chat-for-gamers/discord-chat-for-gamers-194-17-stable-release/

Instructions for reverting (I am using an Android phone): Go to google play store, turn off auto update for discord, then uninstall discord. Then, go to the website, download the APK, and run it. This only works for Android phones, and you may have to enable the "Allow opening APKs from this application" for your browser, but it worked for me!

Does this mean I shouldn't send feedback to discord (1-star reviews, send-feedback button, etc.)? No, the fact that you have to put this much work and/or get lucky enough to find this post just to fix one dumbass update is more than enough to send feedback and 1-star. Just because I know the routes to avoid the traffic doesn't mean I can't complain about the traffic.

How can you trust I'm not hacking you? (Under the cut; but you're not the first person to ask.)

You don't! So go research apkmirror.com and verify it is trustworthy.

Then find your own instructions for installing a custom APK.

And type the URL into your browser by-hand, as I could have replaced some of the letters with similar-looking letters, leading to my own website that will give you a virus.

do you happen to know where one could find the precure stageplay? i saw your post from nov first but the video doesnt seem to be available in the us tyyyy <3 <3

I thiiiiiiiiiiiink you mean Dancing Star PreCure, in that case it's still https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1N84y1Q7Ck/?share_source=copy_web&vd_source=ebb956751474bb1956eb04abb227104f

It doesn't seem to be uploaded on nyaa or anything, but the site does work in the US because I can watch it from there right now. You need an account to watch in HD, which requires your phone number, and bilibili itself isn't in english so you need to have google or firefox or what have you translate the page, but I was able to navigate it whenever I made an account the first time.

Apparently the bilibili app has been removed from the playstore? at least google is telling me that, idk because I got the app awhile ago. But if the app doesn't work it should still be available on the web version, or you could download an .apk of the app from apkpure.

Note though, the show is NOT in english! There are NO subs. We don't know if anyone will sub this show, but if it does get subbed by a fan group, I'm sure a lot of people are going to talk about it.

I know bilibili works in the west because the Pretty Series community uses it to watch the concerts allllll the time lol, but if you still can't get it to work you'd probably need to VPN into hong kong? That's my only other guess. I could put the play on nyaa myself but I don't keep my computer open all the time so I'd feel bad that I would only be seeding like . not very often.
