I got the same problem, LeatherDrums, though I got Android 4.2.1, and was able to install more APK's than only using this last method.

Injecting the APK with Jumpersize's manifest.xml and signing the APK, using Morzul's method to edit the minimum API in APK Editor Pro, and the method shown in the video all resulted in sucessfully installing the application, but when starting the app, I can't get past the Niantic loading screen because the app crashes after a few minutes.

After looking at the logs, I noticed that I got the same error as Ozimandi, stating that '(Game Object 'UIBokehParticle') is missing!".

I'm sure that I copied the libNianticLabsPlugin.so to the system/lib folder though.

I'm not sure if our errors are the same of course, but the error from the error log might give some insight in how to solve the problem.

I am really grateful though for the great solutions found to install Pokemon on a lower API! Thanks for creating this thread ;)

Had same issue, 512mb ram isnt enough for this game and you have to expand it, i used ROEHSOFT RAM Expander and it works. I use 512mb swap but i think you can try less if you dont have space on sdcard
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeatherDrums:
Just a little hint for the ones who may read and have had problems with the packages:get an apk and,with APK Editor Pro change the API value of the apk(16 for 4.1.1 and 17 for 4.2.)..I don't know if someone already posted it but this was the main problem I encountered(the phone didn't even recognize the APK and showed me the green android logo instead of the right Pokéball one).

Now,I just installed Roehsoft Ram Expander but the app told me that my device has not a swap compatible kernel.

I just found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934360 and I'll try to follow this guide.I'll post updates as soon as I'll have!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agenor97:
From where I can change API value?

Edit: I did it but still don't work, it's even worse, I can't login. I will give up, anyway it's a bull**** :) maybe they will make it for older versions too but I think it's a marketing strategy.

Alot of work just to be banned.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0m8y:
In all fairness, our phones can't play the original release anyway so what's really the risk besides getting your account banned? People just want to play the game.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeatherDrums:
I don't want to be rude but we were already using this method to get the app working(thanks to that video I managed to install the apk) :p

Alright,after a couple of hours I didn't manage to expand my RAM memory as described in this topic http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1934360 because it was too tricky for my littlte informatic knowledge.So I used "BusyBox" and "Simple Root Swap"(that expanded my RAM up to 587 MB)but it didn't work..My phone keeps on closing the Pokémon GO app right after the Niantic logo.

I'm stuck at this point and I really don't know what to do.

Edit:

Just tried to download the app from the store with my mother's phone(an LG D213n)which has android 4.4.2 installed and it should support the game.

I legally downloaded it and installed but,as happens with my Huawei,it exits aftetr the Niantic logo!The only difference is that my Huawei exits after 10/15 seconds and my mother's LG exits after 1 minute/1 minute and a half.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Being g that cause for the servers to go down and once banned not being able to use it if it ever does come for your device.

If you want to play then just make sure you have a device that can support it or are in an area that has it.

Not hard. But on you. I personally don't play the game myself so not a big deal.

Hello guys.

I am not sure if this has been posted or not, but someone made a youtube video showing how to run pokemon go on 4.1+ android devices:

"Pokemon Go 0.29.2 APK for Android Jelly Bean 4.1 +higher! [UPDATES!] [NO ROOT] [Loading screen FIX]" That is the title of the video, as I am unable to link at the moment :)

If you look at the comments most of the people have showed success (including myself) I don't know if the person leeched the stuff you been doing here or what not but really has helped alot of us that have older phones and are unable to upgrade / update our phones / android versions.

There is one thing I dont understand however, how come we are unable to connect through google? I don't mind starting from scratch, but it would be awesome to play on my other account as well.

Thank you everyone for all the hard work you put into this.

PS

My phone is a (2012) Sony Xperia SO-05D 4.1.2 Jellybean, very small and sexy phone and it's running Pokemon Go fine.

looking at ram, the phone only has about 400mb ram at the most spare to run the app. So i am guessing it is closing due to insufficent ram.

Any suggestions or is my only option to root and increase ram with internal storage? Any ideas on the failure to find GPS issue?

Elephone R9's ultra - thin body compared with Iphone 6 plus

R9 is the beginning of Elephone R series which is designed for an combination of thinness and beauty.

In order to build the ultra - thin body of R9 and guarantee the overall beauty,

the research and development team of Elephone began to study design process as early as a year ago.

After dozens of improvements and testing, R9 was lunched ultimately with slim body.

In order to allow users to more intuitive feel of the slim R9, we made a set of contrasts with Iphone 6 plus:

From the figure shown on the caliper, we can see, the thickness of Elephone R9's body is only 7.55mm, but Iphone 6 Plus's is 7.60mm.

The thickness of Elephone is even 0.05mm thinner than Iphone 6 Plus.

Screen ratio comparison between Elephone R9 and Iphone 6 Plus

Elephone R9's high screen ratio, just for better experience

In order to creat the ultra - thin body of R9 and guarantee high screen ratio, Elephone comapny poured huge considerable human and material resources. And after numerous process improvement, high screen ratio can be guaranteed.

So as to allow users to more intuitive feel of the slim R9, we made a set of contrasts with Iphone 6 plus:

From the datas online, we know, the screen of Elephone R9 and iphone 6 Plus are the same as

5.5 inch, the length and width of iphone 6 Plus is 158.1 × 77.8mm and Elephone R9 is 149.6 and 73.0mm.

By calculating， the screen ratio of Elephone R9 is 76.48%, and Iphone 6 Plus is 67.9%, Elephone R9 is actually 8.58% higher than the Iphone 6 Plus.

Elephone R9's ultra-high screen ratio is mainly from accounting for the control of the side of screen and more compact arrangement of the internal structure of the body.

To achieve such a high screen ratio, not only needing the courage to overcome high-difficulty technology and design, but also a challenge to the strength of the manufacturers.

So what do you think Elephone R9's high screen ratio?

Elephone R9 will use glass cover fingerprint button

The front Home button of Elephone R9 was applied with fingerprint identification function, also it used glass cover materials.

Not only can this kind of materials bring excellent hand feel, but also it will identify a fingerprint quickly and accurately.

As to fingerprint identification, coating is also popular on the market except for glass cover materials.

For both options of solution, Sam, director of product design in Elephone, explained we have conducted a year-long survey on cover or coating solutions designed for R9.

We found many smartphone manufacturers adopt Coating solutions, because the price of it is more cheap. But there was a fatal flaw: Low surface hardness (3H), bad abrasion resistance,

high gloss coating has low yield (less than 80%), and matte Coating program is inconvenient and unsatisfactory in aesthetics and reliability.

However, cover solution is aesthetic, ergonomic, reliable with high hardness (more than 6H),

and module production yield is more than 95%. But the price is expensive compared with Coating.

More and more smartphone manufacturers choose cover solutions, such as Vivo, Oppo, Meizu, Xiaomi and LeEco, all of them have chosen cover solutions.

Elephone would like go with this trend, and provide a better comfort experience for our end-users.
