[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumpersize:
curious to note that the game runs even on my old Xperia mini (Android 2.3.4) (it closes after a couple of minutes for Low Ram condition triggered by android memkiller)

sorry to burst everyone hopes guys, but this was intended as an experiment, i don't think it's right to get past Niantic decisions, it's their game.

i won't post "updated" manifest to get it working, so stop bugging me with pm messages (anyway, it's not that complicated to do it yourself) the trivial part was the missing .so reference, (i guess) that made everyone think of missing symbols on system dependences .so (updated/recoded system .so files by Google) but it was just searched in the wrong place (cause of dlopen), we got "lucky" and moving a file did the trick. i think you should just ask Niantic to expand compatibility, it works now as it is, but maybe with their future upgrade plan working under KitKat 4.4 will not be possible
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missmaddona:
I retried it. I renamed the pokemon apk to zip, then unpacked it, paste the manifest and chose replace, then I rezipped it and copied to my phone. On my phone I signed it to apk (which took longer than the first try) and when I tried to install it it gave me the parsing error. I may sound ridiculous to an expert, but really, It still doesn't work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatCookieHearT:
Just use ripperwbfg's file and install Kingroot (rooting phones is too easy nowadays :D)

Install "ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP)" (google) and expand your RAM to about 1,5GB.

Should work. I'm using Huawei Ascend Y530-00, too :)

(Or try rgzzer's file with expanded RAM)

EDIT: Tested with ~1,5GB RAM - Working well with some performance drops.

Please answer my question. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatCookieHearT:
Mine's working after expanding RAM with min 300MB and activating swap (should show max RAM in status bar).

Hmm... did you root and optimize/fix with Kingroot? Maybe you need to restart your phone until it works.

And be sure to allow root use for ram expander otherwise it won't be able to use expanded RAM.

Also try to delete the swap file and delete ram expander data, delete pokemon go data, uninstall it and re-install it.

did everything step by step, and during pokemon go apk installation it brings error "Application not installed"

do i need to something else after signing pokemon go.apk to signed.zip?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatCookieHearT:
How did you sign the apk?

I use default settings and just sign the *.apk file with ZipSigner.

Maybe you tried to sign a *.zip file or didn't use the default selected key from ZipSigner?

Looks like you have some kind of signing error :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaantu:
I've did just like this: http://imgur.com/R0ygpJ5

all i did was to select apk file then pressing sign
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatCookieHearT:
Hmmm it should put out [filename]-or_signed.apk not signed.zip or similar things.

Ahh! Use Choose In/Out... to select the file and the sign it. Should fix the error.

Juste delete ZipSigner Data in Application-Manager and try again if it won't write the *.apk output file.

I do the steps above for 0.29.2 apk. No black screen after ni*ntic logos. Login with new account that i made few minutes ago(verified using my yah*o email). And a popup came saying "unable to authenticate. Please try again." Does that popup mean the "messed" apks (because i have replaced the androidmanifest.xml) detected by the server or just because they got a problem with their server(too much player/too much account created) because the official web say so.

Again. Sorry for my bad english. [emoji18]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatCookieHearT:
Yup. The apk file still says 0.20.0 but after installation -> Pokemon GO -> Settings the version is 0.20.2

Injecting the manifest file into v0.20.2 works (for me).

I've messed around a little bit but at least it works on my y530 with default ram expander settings and min 300mb expanded ram.

If there's no necessary data on your phone reset it to factory settings and try again. Dunno if it will fix the problem tbh

Can someone post a version that's been injected to work with 4.3? thx!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morzul:
I did manage to get a version working really fine on my GT-I8200N running android 4.2.2.

At first, i used the 0.29 version, managed to install it, but i had the BlackScreenOfDeath after the niantic logo.

I read on reddit that this problem was solved with the 0.29.2 release of the game, so i choose to retry it with that version.

I used apktool to take the manifest obtained from the version provided by "ripperwbfg" on googledrive, then repack it in the 0.29.2 version of the apk.

At this point, i was basically disapointed, because the manifest wasnt correct. It was allowing API 18 and not 16 as it was mentionned.

I then used APK Editor PRO (i had a license for a time, since i am used in to backport apks) to set the minimal version of API supported to 17 (which is what i have in android 4.2.2)

Here is what i got, i just got my charmander in my living room, then went to the closest Pokemon Stop from my home, at nearly 5AM :D.

h t t p : // www . file dr opper . com / pokemongoandroid422

don't be afraid by the size of the apk (78+MB, from 58.2 normally), it's due to the fact that apktool the apk tool building is less compressive than the builder used by niantic, i guess...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjw93:
Yes 0.29.2 working with injected manifest. Did your ar works?i got nothing when i use it.

For the gps, i don't know, i guess it depends where you are. I usually got it in 1-2 secs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjw93:
I just got the pokemon sound "barking" but not the images lols just start to give up on ar. Atleast now the app working on 4.2 rooted 9060 duos.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nada-kun:
i know how to make it work! get an app called 'apk editor PRO' and download the original pokemon apk.

then using the apk editor (full edit) set the miniSDKversion to 17 (for android 4.2, 16 for android 4.1) but leave the target to 23 and save.

you will be offered to install it but don't and there will be a save file location with the modified app.

open the moddifed version with apk editor and use common edit and change the install location from ' auto ' to ' internal only ' then SAVE. after that you can install the file.

1. Start Pokemon GO

2. Wait until the loading screen disappear (at first start it can take qute long)

3. Restart your phone

4. Start Pokemon GO

and enjoy! this worked for me btw

Just wanted to share this in case anyone is wondering. I used the modded manifest and I put it in the 0.29.2 apk using winzip, transfered the apk on the phone and used zipsinger with testkey to sign the apk.
