First off I want to thank you for adding the settings menu. I have found a bug I have noticed:

1. When I go in to full screen mode there is a bug that I can't get out of full screen mode it just freezes.

A lot of games still crash I used both directx and opengl and they just crash. one last thing can you guys increase the internal storage to 64 gb?
[Android Apps and Games] mrDmola:
What is the 'last settings button'? I going from top to bottom the last icon I see is the GPS one on the side bar
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
You have the old version 1.5, please install the newest 1.6
[Android Apps and Games] mrDmola:
Thanks! I will try this out. Also, I'm not sure if it's a setting I have to adjust somewhere, but multitouch wasn't working for me. The game I tested this out in was Limbo. I was unable to run and jump. I could only do one action or the other.
[Android Apps and Games] electrikjesus:
Are you able to use more than one touch point? I use a multitouch tester app to test, and I only show one point

Absolute mess

After downloading the new version to fix the resize issue... It said I had to uninstall the old version before I could continue. Upon uninstalling the old version via the Programs setting in the Control Panel (of windows 10) IT COMPLETELY REMOVED MY "My Documents" FOLDER FROM THE PC. Instead of removing the saved data from the folder, it removed the ENTIRE FOLDER, it's causing havoc across my pc and I'VE LOST A TON OF DATA. I am extremely pissed off.

To give some details, before removing the emulator, I renamed the VM folder all the data was in (the data folder was in "my documents") to ensure the data would be saved. Then I proceeded to install the old emulator, and then installed the new one without issue. I went to "my documents" to retreave the saved data, and THE ENTIRE DIRECTORY IS GONE. I've tried tracing it to users/documents but it, and all the files in it, are wiped from the PC.

I'm devastated and extremely upset. :(
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=7704516]Veno1[/MENTION], really sorry about that.

Can you check if Recycle bin has the deleted files?

We are investigating the code to examine the possibility of this.
[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
My recycle bin is empty, I always leave it empty. This is a brand new PC (about 2 months old), higher end, and windows 10. All my files, game saves, and everything were in My Documents.. and I would be running around in circles if the directory wasn't already open and being used for the above purposes. Even the "quick shortcut" on the left side of the folder menu no longer works because the directory is gone. I'm scrambling to try to fix this but as I'm using a SSD hard drive, anything deleted is immediate... so it seems I'm screwed.. two months of hard work gone.

I'm insure of the version I had installed previously, but it was only a couple weeks old. The installer I previously used ( a couple weeks ago) I still have, its 267 MB if that helps determine which version it was.

EDIT: My guess is that because the "uninstaller" couldn't find the VM directory in 'My Documents' (as it was renamed at the time of the uninstall) it just removed the entire My Documents folder instead. I've never heard of such a thing happening before in 26 years of using a PC.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
This is really bad. I hate losing data. Again deeply sorry for it (:

My guess is some api failed, and causes the parent folder gets deleted. We will examine the installer code. Is it from MSI installer? or from the EXE installer?
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=7704516]Veno1[/MENTION] In addition, did you use the default installation paths? or you specified your custom folders to install?

By default, Leapdroid vm will be put into My Documents\Leapdroid folder.
[Android Apps and Games] mrDmola:
Nice, I got Kingdom Rush Origins up and running by following your instructions using Open GL. Only thing that's left is multitouch support.

Whenever you guys move on to running the emulator on Android 6.0, is it likely that we will be able to use the same app data file? Or do you forsee that causing issues on the new version of Android. Theoretically it shouldn't right?
[Android Apps and Games] sempaXterbang:
something wrong with the installer?

tried to install the "exe" latest version, BUT every time i try to install, it close few moment...no error message, no nothing.

win7 64bit

AMD phenom II x6
[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
It is from the EXE installer, downloaded from the leapdriod website on Monday August 22nd, did some research into my downloads, to help you narrow down the specific version.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

I left everything to default. However in my second installation I had to choose the VM directory because it couldn't find my "My Documents" folder, which is what lead me to discover that it was deleted.

I've tried everything for hours, I'm done, I just broke my mouse out of rage. God dammit
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
[MENTION=4725551]Venon1[/MENTION] We, at Leapdroid, feel your pain. I'd like to buy you a Amazon or Starbucks gift card, and you help us to fix the bug :)
[Android Apps and Games] AriaOfSorrow:
If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone. I came here to say the same thing. After installing the new version I eventually noticed I had an extra 10GB of space. I thought it was weird, at least until I went to the My Documents folder... everything was gone. What the hell? How does this even happen? Like you, I'm extremely pissed off. I've been using a computer every day for over ten years now, and nothing like this has ever happened with the hundreds and hundreds of programs I've used. Among the 10GB of data was all of my screen shots since installing Windows 10 just around a year ago. I tried using Recuva to see if I could recover anything, but I couldn't get any of those screen shots. That folder was completely gone. This is absolutely ridiculously. Sure, some programs and files are ones that can be downloaded again. But something like my screen shots and game saves are completely gone. I was already having issues with Leapdroid, and while I was willing to wait and work through those, I'm done now. To lose so many of my files for no reason like this... I thought I had seen it all when it comes to computers. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] N4clida:
Sir Dev, the LeapDroid keeps showing these screens, from one to another and never stop

Then shall you give EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard a try, sir. It often helps me a lot dealing with accidental folder/files deletion or caused by many 3rd party's wrong doings.

Fortunately, I was having the very similar problem with v1.5.0.0, but since the release of v1.6.0.0 the problem has already gone. Well, got a new another problem. lol
[Android Apps and Games] Himonji:
Just tested the new version and it is really good, now i can resize it and can put my own resolution. I could also recover my old data without major problems and stuff, just replaced the file on the VM folder and Leapdroid did the rest.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
I am very sorry on this, again. Our developers are working on it right now.

As a sign of appreciation of testing Leapdroid, I'd like to buy you a Amaon or Starbucks gift card.
[Android Apps and Games] Himonji:
Unfortunately i had to do the steps that were previously mentioned in this topic because i encountered the error at the start of the program and it was not that easy to solve.
[Android Apps and Games] Another-User:
Had the same happening to me when updating to the 1.5 Version before. This time I made a backup of the entire "my documents" folder and had the folder opened on purpose during the uninstall. Didnt happen this time.
[Android Apps and Games] smimon:
Thank you, this seems to have fixed the issue.

1.6 will now launch, and allow me to sign into the Play store, but I can't install a single app, receiving this error message:

If I restart LD, it has forgotten my account, and I have to sign in again.

If I return to the home screen after signing into my account, then back into the Play Store, it just hangs on a grey screen.

If I launch Browser, it gets stuck on this screen.

1.5 worked fine.

Ended up using MEmu to do what I needed to do. I would prefer to use LD though, it's faster and handles resolution and DPI scaling a lot better.

Is there a way to focus the emulator to the center of the screen when running apps in fullscreen?

It's not very pleasant when the app you are running is focused to the left of the screen.

Changed back to 1.5 because of that for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Dunard:
Here is the screen settings that I used. Very sharp on a small screen.

(600 1024) (240)

(1024 600) (240)

I never could get the 1920 1080 sharp though. Lags on some of the games with the opengl on.
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
Does leapdroid update automatically?

How do I update if it doesn't? do I lose my settings?

Where is the changelog?

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

How do you change the size of the emulator like this? is it on the newer version?

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

Well updating just deleted my documents folder, thanks leapdroid.

You just made sure, I never update again.

I am also guessing there is no way to recover the files right? nice there goes a lot of photos I was saving from family members.
[Android Apps and Games] Dunard:
1.6.0.0 have a option on the left. Go there to change it.

By the way. I change the screen size again. 600 is a little too tall. 580 is perfect. Everyone have a different ones.

(580 1024) (240)

(1024 580) (240)
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dunard:
Depend on the games look and height. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Serge B-G:
Greetings,

This indeed fixed the issue.

Thanks a lot again.
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
You know, I think you guys set the uninstaller to delete the folder you choose as "VM data path"...

which is documents folder, which ends up being deleted completely, not only leapdroid folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
On my computer it was renamed to leapdroid_bak. Not deleted.

I have a custom VM data path, nothing wrong with it.

1.6.0 freeze sometimes, i can't remember having such an issue with 1.5.0

Keep up the good work. This is an hard job you are doing here. How are you financed actually ? Can community donate ?
[Android Apps and Games] N4clida:
I have to admit that LeapDroid is a thing for an Android Emulator. It eats way less ram than its competitors. The dev here is very supportive and responsive as well.

However my (loading & menu screen loop) problem looks like can't be solved (cuz it somehow has something to do with my machine).

Thank you, buddies~ Time to say 'Hi' to MEmu as my least option again
[Android Apps and Games] AriaOfSorrow:
Do whatever you want. I'm not going to get most of my files back. I don't know what else to say.

I have similar case, when I tried to uninstall old version and cut the data.vmdk to other place, it deleted my documents folder. A fatal bug and should be fixed immediately.

And [MENTION=4188794]AriaOfSorrow[/MENTION] if you haven't do much of data writing, use data recovery program, portable if possible to minimize data write
[Android Apps and Games] _XYZ_:
Stay away from leapdroid!

You people are damned lucky that I run redundant backups here.

I just started using Leapdroid in August, then today I saw that there was an update, so I downloaded the updated version.

The new installer said to uninstall the old leapdroid before installing the new version.

Went to "Programs and Features" selected Leapdroid and clicked "Uninstall".

I saw that it was removing Leapdroid and stepped out of the room for a few seconds to grab my water from the next room.

When I looked back at the computer, not 15 seconds later, YOUR LEAPDROID UNINSTALLER" was deleting everything in the "MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER". NOT JUST LEAPDROID!

I immediately stopped it and it had already wiped out 47 folders and 15,000 files of my clients and my personal documents.

It did not send anything to the recycle bin. It permanently deleted it.

I immediately started investigating the issue. I did full system scans for viruses, malware, etc. with several fully updated softwares.

All scans came back clean.

I then looked into it further and found that it was definitely your piece of garbage Leapdroid that did the deleting of my files.

I was going to continue to use leapdroid because of the stability with the android apps I use, BUT NOT ANY MORE!

OBVIOUSLY you people deliberately made your uninstaller to intentionally delete peoples entire "Documents" folder.

At least that is all it got to on my system because I walked back in within seconds.

What would it have been doing if I had been out of the room for 30 minutes? I know, probably wipe my entire system clean, all 5 drives.

I have already been on the phone with several friends that used leapdroid and they are ditching your MALWARE immediately as well.

They also had the same thing happen to them when they went to uninstall leapdroid. They investigated the cause and it was verified to be leapdroid and nothing else.

We are all going back to a real android emulator that was not coded with the malicious intent to destroy peoples' files.

We are also going to be warning everyone looking for an emulator to stay away from leapdroid.

What a joke leapdroid turned out to be. I will sacrifice some performance, but not my files.

EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE AND ANYTHING THIS GROUP DEVELOPS!
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
Hey ,the developers have been working on many features and probably this is one of the issue that the developers have been asking the customers to have patience till they are equipped with a desirable solution.I am followingLeapdroid from many updates and been observing changes from time to time.This issue will also be resolved soon but U have to patient .
[Android Apps and Games] SanketMohapatra:
But I am here with my personal issuel.I got a mail from Ninantic stating my account has been terminated.I hurted me a lot but I hope the developers will take care of any potential cause that will ban other users.

Please act fast.

I don't really see your point - and your arguments. It seems there is an important trouble with LeapDroid, yes it is boring (or w/e state you want: awful, terrible, pissing...), but this is all in all simply a bug (a very nasty one, for sure !). This is not removing some abilities of the product - the 'why' i use LeapDroid. Of course we 'll be more vigilant when next update will come :p

[MENTION=7502194]SanketMohapatra[/MENTION]

Using LeapDroid for PokemonGo is forbidden in the TOS from Niantic. LeapDroid can do it technically. Legally i guess you are not allowed to use it.

But yep, it's a feature that should be cleaning stated "at your own risk" by Leapdroid, MEMU, Nox or w/e that are surfing on the popularity of PokemonGO to promote their emulators.
[Android Apps and Games] N4clida:
Cooldown there buddy, why not give EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard a try. It often helped me dealing with accidental folder/files deletion or even which caused by many 3rd party's application wrong doings.

However my document is still safe and sound even after uninstalling LeapDroid so many times (to figure out how to fix my own problem ).
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
I think you need to chill my man, I am pissed too, but you are being hella rude.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

I don't play pokemon go, but yes your account could be terminated by using the gps spoof.

Sadly, many emulators do not tell you this.
[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
If you have an original hard drive (with the magnetic spinning disc) the files can still remain for some time, even though their location was removed on the index file, you still have hopes of recovering it, especially since the magnetic printing can last for a while even after a file is deleted. If you have an SSD hard drive, you're out of luck. To keep an SSD running at it's fast read times and optimal efficiency, nothing is saved that doesn't need to be. As soon as a file is removed from an SSD's 'memory', it is gone forever. So if you're on an older hard drive I would absolutely look into some file recovery programs. Sorry you went through what I went through :( I spent all night backing up my PC because I still love the emulator but I cannot risk further losses.
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
Yeah, I got a SSD only machine now, I am ripped to shreads, guess I shoulda synced my photos in the cloud with Drive or Onedrive, like I do with some other programs.

Oh well.
[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
Jesus Christ... read what you are saying. This developer is not out to hurt anyone, it was a mistake, which is why I didn't come here to rant and rave, I came here to hopefully prevent other people from making my mistake. So far compared to most programs from the last 30 years, this developer is actively engaging in the community and actively trying to fix the problem with us. Do you ever see any software developers do that anymore? I give them credit for that, plus their emulator still runs far more smoothly than anything currently on the market, and it's FREE. Christ, it's not a conspiracy. Relax, take a deep breath, and break your mouse like I did. After breaking my $80 mouse last night and getting the anger out of me (don't forget I also lost my entire documents folder and tons of hard work that was not backed up)............ I'm over it now and returning to help solve the problem to make this emulator better for everyone.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

It's pokemon GO, not pokemon SIT. You're supposed to go outside and play the game, not fake your location to gain an unfair advantage of being in the comfort of your home. Of course you would get banned for manipulating the game to cheat. Why should the emulator developers need to tell you this?
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
I woke up and saw this. Come on, why would we want to delete your folder? It is a critical and nasty bug, I agree, but we never intended to do this.

We've been discussing and resolving this issue over the weekend. The issue was caused from buggy handling of the custom rom path saved into the registry key.

It will get resolved very soon.

Myself and Leapdroid team are deeply sorry for this bug.

I guess we digged too deep into the virtualization, and weren't that focused when coding the boring installer. This won't happen again in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
I am no coder, so I might be a bit ignorant, but I don't think you guys should of being lazy with the uninstaller/installer, SPECIALLY with the uninstaller.

The installer most of the times just adds things and doesn't remove them, which means it's possible to remove them.

Thing could of deleted a lot more than just the documents folder.

Also, I've noticed a bug of a "thud" sound whenever you click on stuff or input text messages. (also sometimes a black bar from the right side appears)

Is right after I click on Clash of Clans.

I appreciate your getting back on this. Yes, will send you Amazon gift card.

Can you help us to debug? For now, please check the following registry path:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Leapdroid\Leapdroid VM]

"InstallDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Leapdroid\VM"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Leapdroid\VM Data]

"DataPath"="C:\\Users\\Huihong\\Documents"

Are those values looking valid on your PC?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
The first path gives me

NAME----------------------TYPE----------------------DATA

(Default) ----------------------REG_SZ----------------------(value not set)

InstallDir----------------------REG_SZ----------------------C:\Program Files\Leapdriod\VM

(This is surprising to me, as most programs on a 64 bit machine since windows 7 install to the folder "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files", though it really doesn't make a difference in my book.)

The second path gives me

NAME----------------------TYPE----------------------DATA

(Default) ----------------------REG_SZ----------------------(value not set)

Data Path----------------------REG_SZ----------------------C:\Leapdriod VM

(this is where I put it after it couldn't find the my documents directory, but originally it would have matched yours, and it would have been in the Users\*\Documents directory)

I'll help out more when I get home, heading to work now.
[Android Apps and Games] daunow:
Program Files normally has the 64 bit applications and program files (x86) has the 32bit versions, or programs.

Though it doesn't matter which folder you put the applications on.
[Android Apps and Games] huisinro:
A quick update on deleting My Documents folder, we have identified the root cause, thanks to [MENTION=7704516]Veno1[/MENTION].

This nasty bug is triggered at certain conditions, namely, if you try to install the new version while the old version still exists, so please try to uninstall the old version first, then proceed to install the new version.

We will issue a new version soon.

That's fine to me. I just hope everything reguarding the accidental folder deletion will be a thing of the past too. Lost my documents too. It's not that much of a loss since mostly game settings where there, but I had to spent 6 hours reconfiguring settings for a mmo I play.

@ huisinro

I plan to play these two games

- CSR 2 Racing

- Dawn of Titans

On the Leapdroid v1.5 CSR2 isn't compatible and Dawn of Titans cannot be downloaded, is there a way to make this game compatible with this version?
[Android Apps and Games] AriaOfSorrow:
Yeah, I already know all of that. If you check my comment, you'll see that I already tried using Recuva, but most of the files it found were ones that could just be re-downloaded. The other program that was mentioned is not freeware, and I've already "paid" enough because of this issue. No reason to "pay" more when it's likely the program won't find anything anyway (Recuva is pretty highly rated after all). I appreciate the thought though. It's all very demoralizing.
