Ummm... are you sure it exists? Spent only a few minutes searching but haven't seen any mention of v1.22?

Also:

Any helpful hints on using this? I believe you or somebody else mentioned the ease of Google translate but it's a PITA to translate each page selected (and I for one am not a fan of toolbars in general, let alone handing Google so much more data than they already get now). Basically wondering how to apply the settings, do I need to shut down/restart each time, disallow BS internet access when changes are made, etc?

Tell the truth if you know of or can provide a link and/or more information concerning BS use/dev that would be helpful. I am fully comfortable using physical devices but BS is new to me as of this past month or so - very exciting actually.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BIOYAM:
Maybe not, I could have sworn that I saw it.... oh well, no biggie!

I gave up on BS Multitool. What I do now is to just use un-official pre-rooted versions. When installed, they already have Root, SuperUser etc included. Then I use a tool called "Bluestacks Easy" to add any additional features like Xposed, resolution changes etc.

If you wanna do all yourself, you can also use "Bluestacks Easy" to take an untouched Bluestacks offline installer and apply root etc from scratch too. This tool is programed by non-English people, but they are quite ease to use and is currently at version 2.4 ....... There is also a Facebook page or two, that some info is available too.

If you need some of those links let me know and I'll PM them to ya!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkoyskip:
None of the pre-rooted BS's worked for me so decided to start from scratch. It took many hours to remember reading about the AMD issue = using Superuser instead of SuperSU. BAM, rooted within minutes of installing!!! Sometimes the more I think I know the harder it is - and sometimes the simplest things get the deal done.

I'd found BS Easy & the Facebook page already (but thanks) was really looking for more insight into BS Easy as not sure which functions still work on 0.9.3. Also not sure about creating new Data/SDCard partitions - will this destroy the current BS installation? Or can I backup the original and then copy the data to the new?

I tried re-sizing the RAM both through BS Easy & regedit but it hasn't changed inside of BS, perhaps I need to reboot my Win unit.

Tomorrow I will try using BT Easy & also the DATA.IMG_Maker + osfmount way of creating/re-sizing my sdcard (note to self: don't forget to backup files:)) Just hoping that copying files to the new Data/SDCard works....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BIOYAM:
All functions in v2.4 seem to work with 0.9.3, according to feedback on Facebook. Unfortunately I haven't had a reason to use the Data/SD Card mods yet, since the pre-rooted ones are more than adequate for what I use them for. My advice would be to definitely backup your "[DRIVE]:/ProgramData/" directory first.

I might fool around with them when the next version comes out........ probably do like you and just create my own pack from scratch.

Good Luck with your project. Like you, Bluestacks intrigues me. If I discover anything ground breaking, I'll be sure to share it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
In case you missed, the reason already explained HERE

You know, i was in dilemma whether i should update BSMT, the truth is...

As a user, i felt disappointed after BS changed the app to the so called 'freemium' that requires payment to use,

but now that i am a developer too, i feel guilty, and i think i need to respect other people's intellectual property,

like it or not, we can't deny BS team's contribution and hardwork just because we hate the free'mium' feature.

Unfortunately, most features found in BSMT are conflicting with their 'add-on' feature

indirectly

,

Eg: Nothing wrong by rooting it, but it gives you the ability to remove their payment feature, blocking their income,

good for us, bad for them, what should i do then? Help users == killing great developers creativity.

Removing these features in BSMT make the tool kind of useless, not forgetting these features depending on each other.

Simply fact - how can you expect people to respect you/your work if you/yrself is not respecting others work.

You might not agree or understand this but soon or later you will face the similar situation, it's just a matter of time.

Too bad, i only started to realize this fact when some BSMT feature got cloned into some other software,

it's still acceptable if they're just borrowing idea, but using all if not most commands grabbed directly from my tool? WTH!

even worse, some of the cloned program is advertising-based software, totally away from the original objective of BSMT:-

To provide something useful and 100% free to end user - well, atleast when BS was still 100% free.

It was really annoying when i figured out the result from months of hardwork got stolen by some dude within seconds,

felt like i am helping them to make (part of) their software for free, it bother me, why should i continue doing this?

I wish i could update BSMT to help more users, but i can't and shouldn't...

well, let's just say that i am not that kind... to help others get their job done... :cowboy:

If you are new to BS, reading the official FAQ might give you some idea.

As for BS Tweaker, perhaps you are too new to BS, otherwise you should have seen/understand all the terms used in the program,

the interface is straight forward too, depends on what settings you are trying to apply, some requires BS running, like changing build.prop,

but most changes require that BS stopped, and no, you do not need to disable internet access while making changes.

Please note that ChainsDD Superuser provided in OP is not compatible with KitKat build, you will need to use CWM Superuser if you have AMD APU.

The Max RAM on BS is limited to 8XX by the kernel AFAIK, you need to restart BS for the changes to take effect,

you can do it from BS tray icon -> 'Restart', or stop all services from BS Tweaker.

I am afraid 'DATA.IMG_Maker' might not work with the new format BS using now, the one in BS Easy might be a better choice.

No, settings are kept in 'Android\Data.sparsefs' folder, it's your /data partition, default BS has Root.fs locked, rooting it also unlocks it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkoyskip:
One of the first things I did was read the FAQ (however I can sometimes miss things).

I understand that the tweaker interface seems pretty straight forward, was only looking for additional information to save myself time (why waste hours experimenting when many have done this already?) I am always willing to provide assistance to others - well, as long as they have put in some effort (like as you mentioned, reading the FAQ, etc)

And most importantly: reading the instructions (RTFM!)

And yes I am very new to BS, but am beginning to grow fond of it.

I suppose what I'm looking for is how to create/resize the sdcard. Neither the tweaker nor easy seems to work (0.9.3) so I'm at a loss for now. When I restart BS each time it says the sdcard isn't mounted, and won't mount - tried formatting the sdcard and it ends up less than 500mb (I do notice that the MAP file changes from 512kb to 2mb when I use both the tweaker & easy). I guess next I'll try switching to .fs to see if this works (if my memory is correct I will need to make changes in the registry to do this).

Not sure whether the DATA.IMG method works or not. I tried using osfmount, but cannot format the partition to FAT for some reason - tried both x86 and x64 versions, will only allow me to format NTFS. Perhaps just for the heck of it (time permitting, one of these days) I'll setup a FAT unit to see if will work.

BTW even though I'm a BS newbie I can tell from reading the thread that you have done much - thanks for your effort & also thanks for taking the time to reply.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkoyskip:
you haven't provided much info.... if you are amd make sure to use supersu 3.2a or it will not work. if intel then you should provide more info (what version are you installing, etc, etc) i'm newer to bluestacks however not to android. as a rule (at least for myself) it's always better to provide more information than less.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkoyskip:
ok. i haven't installed 0.8 as 0.9.3 is available so i can't help you on this (if i wasn't getting ready for a 40+ hour weekend i might install virtually, but no way now). i installed 0.9.3 and rooted with no problems using bluestacks easy 2.4 (not trying to hijack this thread, only offer information) and worked 1st time out of the box. just make sure to use the correct superuser. then i used bluestacks tweaker to make some changes.

you can find all of this and other info from the bluestacks easy fb page. it has been mentioned more than a few times in this thread but i'll make it easy for you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/freestacks/permalink/700095656735554/

this is the shortest thread i've

EVER

subscribed to so next time please take time to read through it (17 pages, takes what... 5 minutes or so at most?)

if you have more questions you should go ahead and post them, however i myself will not be available until early next week. good luck.

edit: you can pm me but as i mentioned in another post i am newer to bluestacks and also gone for the weekend. i will get back to you though when i can.

you should also use the offline installer rather than the smaller bluestacks installer from the developer site. you can google this or such (i have also made a file available for download but as i'm too tired to check xda rules i will not post it - nothing illegal, but cannot seem to remember the rules concerning outside links) pm me i will send it to you when i can (upldd, prem only).

later.

last version 0.9 not supported :(

Not working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Almazick:
It's not supported and it's stated in the first post. It brings another question why do people want KitKat on PC when 0.8x version works fine to run apps. Who cares if it's KitKat or ICS. All the apps work exactly the same or even better with ICS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alexche77:

Gapps Freezes Bluestacks

My bluestacks freezes ie 'Not Responding' state after installing gapps

Anyone experience this problem or knows can help me?

I tried bluestacks version 0.8.9 and o.8.11. Everything is fine - able to root, debloat and all

But when i install gapps right after "clean installation" or debloating/rooting of blue stacks it freezes.

Meanwhile, Thanks codelover for your guides or tools, and precious time u give for our guidance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Almazick:
Probably a wrong version of gapps BsS can automatically install gapps after rinstall. Gapps are not needed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] godzeYash:
yup we can install gapps automatically ie by mpi.v23*.apk

eventhough the posted gapps worked for kitkat, but why not in ics versions of bluestacks

well the auto gapps installing is too time consuming for my internet and i cant backup or reuse that gapps

ya got the compatible one gapps? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Almazick:
Here you go https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gf5c2wsqvntpv3/gapps.ics.apk?dl=0 Make sure to restart BS after installation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] godzeYash:
still not working, same state as before :(

even the gapps provided by bluestacks freezes bluestacks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Almazick:
Works for me without a single problem. Make sure you are using the last speed version
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codelover:
The one shared by [MENTION=1828953]Almazick[/MENTION] is 15.01 with Play Store 4.8.20, latest for ICS is 15.04 with PS 4.9.13, you can get it HERE.

But like Almazick said even the old versions are working good for us, so doesn't seem like this problem is related to gapps version.

I suggest you to try Factory Reset with BSMT, also try disconnect from internet temporary when installing gapps.

My BSMT is now deprecated, i haven't got time to update it, there are better tools out there now to work with latest BS, try read few pages back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] godzeYash:
BSMT is just awesome, works very fine

yup gapps freezes any versions(evn the provided by bluestacks) so the problem is not in gapps though

i used the net blocker in my installtion and factry resetted in every attemps

hope more accurate attemps might help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Almazick:
It's been already mentioned, the best way to install everything by disabling your network adapter or just by turning off your router or internet modem. If you are still having problems then uninstall it completely and delete data folder manually. Most of us are using BS 08.11.3116 without a single problem. I don't see myself upgrading to kitkat anytime soon since I don't see a single advantage of it. All my apps working great under ICS. Note: make sure not to disable BS junk/spam apps before you install another launcher like Holo launcher HD.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] godzeYash:
does degrading from kitkat plays any role in freezing bluestacks

even now the kitkat also freezes before it was working fine

I have tried every proper, clean(as said in previous posts) or haphazard attempts, didnt work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mkoyskip:
I'm a little "late to the party" so-to-speak but I haven't had any problems installing any Google Apps. At the same time I used the BS offline-installer and rooted it myself (using BS Easy 2.4) so not using a pre-rooted version.... also not using any gapps installer....

All I did was download & install the Play Store apk (should be easy to find for anyone using BS), then download the apps directly from the Play Store. There is nothing including in the gapps packages from any source that you cannot install from the Play Store, and usually not as current. Only time I (used to) like the gapps packages is when installing new ROM's or such that didn't include them - and these gapps were .zip files able to be installed from Recovery.

From the trouble many seem to be having wouldn't it just be easier to install as I did - from Google Play? Worked the 1st time I tried it (don't get me wrong, it caused me much grief before I thought of just downloading the .apk, after this much happiness).

If I'm missing something please let me know as I've been gone for a few weeks & only scanned through the posts.

Peace & good luck.

I'm using bluestacks version 0.8.9.3088 and i couldn't update my SuperSU to v2.16

i tried:

1. dragging the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip and put on the multitool but it shows me 'Unable to process provided Superuser installer package'.

2. run multitool and press S it shows 'Superuser installer package could not be located. (placed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip in the same folder as Multitool)

Any solution to this?

I'm a bit out of the loop, and also running BlueStacks 0.9.3.4070, but my issue was that I am running this on AMD so had to use Superuser instead of SuperSU. Not sure if this helps but as far as I know there's no other option if you are in a similar situation.

---------- Post added 18th November 2014 at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 17th November 2014 at 11:53 PM ----------

I have also tried to change memory size, haven't had any success yet (though again, haven't had much time to play around).

When (if ever) I have the time I plan to translate & copy as much as I can from HERE, just don't have the time right now. I believe I requested info concerning this a while back but not much help there. Plus I think the version change from .8 to .9 perhaps messed these settings up, not sure.

I'm not available much so if I can provide you any info/or you can do the same it's probably better to PM me - may take a few days to get back. Either way good luck, and post your results.

I've searched this forum at length and haven't found an answer, so here I am!

I've tried installing XPrivacy on two different BlueStacks versions, but the same thing happens. My most recent version is 0.8.10.3096 Rooted By Dubsteam (I got via torrent). What happens is that I download the XPosed installer. I then go through the steps until I get to the end where it says I need to install XPrivacy framework. I download that apk and then open it. I install the framework and then reboot, and then BlueStacks will never initialize. It just sits on the blue screen. I let it sit there for 10 hours the last time, and it still never initialized. Is there a specific version of BlueStacks I should be running? Or should I change a setting when installing XPrivacy? I tried a couple other options that allowed me to reboot fine, but it then said the framework still wasn't installed.

Please help.

Edit: To add more info, the MultiTool says it won't work on that version, so I've tried installing the Xposed installer via the Play Store and through downloading the most recent apk in BlueStacks and installing it that way, and downloading it on my computer and installing it via double clicking it. The installer loads fine, but whenever I try to install the XPosed framework, it says it's fine, and I need a reboot. But it will never reboot.

Thanks!

I havent tried it personally, but that page (and the associated facebook group, its massive and there is another dedicated rooting tool available there) is a great resource for rooting.

BlueStacks MultiTool is dead and doesnt work with current versions sadly, it was the bets there was, so we're stuck with using the alternative tool BSEasy.

These two groups are great resources for BS Rooting
