[TouchPad General] xdaprogramm:
There are youtube videos I suggest you follow them, they should have a link to working direct x 10 or higher and then you put it on the folders that you see in exagear, then once in windows from exagear, you install it like any other file you install on windows

======================================

BindFS?

MAGISK?

Terminal Emulator?

ROOT your phone just for THAT?

FORGET all that unlike what I used just to make this work before.

Like other times I may have wasted hours and days trying to figure out how to make something work as I want, no answer anywhere, no success, and then I come some day in the future and it works from almost first time. Sometimes I amaze myself cause im not a dev :]

The most setup version is probably

here although it may still need to install additional packages to make things work.

So my biggest prob was that I did not want to see the app using the Download folder all the time, it may be for security of your phone to only be able to view one folder but I wanted at least this folder to be another and I still did not see how to change that. Finally the solution came and it requires some apk modification, I was ready to do that but before I could not find what exactly. Because why mix Download folder and put all your games there in one with download stuff?

To make the change one needs to know how to unpack an apk

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/11852r

this shows how. Using APK tool and better put the file name or folder name in quotes during the commands because it didn't want to repack properly. So, once you unpack the apk you need to go to the (if v 4.7) ExaGear_PRO_4.7\smali\com\eltechs\ed\startupActions\StartGuest.smali and open this file with text editor. This is the center of all evil:

const-string v2, "Download"

This tells it to always use this folder... finally I found that and yes, I changed it for example to

const-string v2, "Games"

And then repacked. for repacking don't forget the quotes, I wasted HOURS wondering why the file won't compile.. it turned out dashes or dots caused problem in reading the name..

apktool_2.5.0.jar b "ExaGear_PRO_4.7_GamesFolder"

Again the reddit post explains how to decompile and APK do what you do and recompile. Don't forget to sign the apk or it won't install, commands are described in the reddit post but here it is:

signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 [name of apk you just copied].apk [another name].apk

(make sure to have the tools downloaded first, there can be plenty of such signature files in various android dev sites or this one from the reddit post).

And it worked, now when I installed the APK and put the OBB with its folder before that in Android\obb\ , and the app works, it starts and now looks at my "Games" folder only. If you set the const-string v2, "/storage/emulated/0" or to "emulated" it might view all subfolders like all your phone folders but I wanted only just not use Download folder as that was stupid.

(And if not on new device, on my old one so far I had to install custom ROM to get later Android like 9, Magisk, ROOT (not warranty friendly), root commands, BINDFS command to symlink folders, ALL for that stupid change to get 1 different folder cause it's not been dev-ed in the abandoned app!)

NOW DONE!
