I've been trying to install Ark mobile but it stops at 80% then crashes the play store.

I have tried 3 different sd cards to no avail.

It worked on the android 8 ? Build but would get laggy eventually so I was hoping to try it again on this new build but can't even get the game to install.

If one of you nice people would just try to install it since it's free to play I would greatly Appreciate it to know it's not just me on my end

Hello i dont know if somebody reply this but i have a solution for make nvidia games work again.

1 - Install the USB drivers for your device (Google has a list of some universal USB drivers here)

2 - Download the ADB binary for your particular OS (Windows, Mac, Linux)

3 - On your Switch, go to Settings and tap on Device preferences, then go to Information, Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable Developer Options.

4 - Now enter Developer Options and find USB Debugging. Enable it.

5 - Plug your switch into the computer.

6 - On your computer, browse to the directory where you extracted the ADB binary.

7 - Open the CMD in administrator mode and change the directory to the ADB binary using cd

example: cd <Your directory here>

8 - Once you’re in the command prompt/terminal, enter the following command: adb devices

9- Execute the command: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nvidia.tegrazone3 to uninstall Nvidia games application.

10 - Go to the play store search and install Nvidia Games and now work perfect

See I have these two exact SD cards and both drain battery so far when sleeping, flashed everything but the battery doesn't last the night, weird.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] twelfth:
Could be size, card speed/class type, different batches, different manufacturing nodes, one could be a bootleg (shockingly common, even if the capacity isn't fake), etc... It's always worth trying a different card, regardless.

With my Switch, I seem to average around 6-7 hours SOT and 1% loss per hour in sleep mode with battery saver turned on.

I use a green 64GB Samsung EVO Select you typically find on Amazon. Friend of mine used a SanDisk Extreme card and his battery died overnight.

I managed to install lineage and it works fine, the only one problem is that the touch screen for some reason stops/freezes when hold. I haven't heard anyone else get this issue but does anybody else know how to fix it. It makes playing games like honkai and genshin harder since it basically makes the character stop walk/run randomly. When using a touch screen test app it stops all of a sudden after making circles, i believe because of the touch screen pressure. Anyone have any information on how to fix this. If possible can i get any information on "Optimised touch screen driver " as well if possible. Thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] Lisadev:
I have tried several methods to turn an app into a system app but even if in some case I managed to install the app inside /system/priv-app the app was not running as a system app as I could figure out by checking running the command "adb shell ps".

So please could someone tell me if I missed something or if there is some limitation link to Lineage or may be Magisk or TWRP to have an app runing as a system app ?

I have tried with Lineage 15.1 (Oreo) and magisk 21.2 the phone is a Samsung S5 using TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 as system Recovery

First method was to

1 making a copy of the app folder to the internal storage

2 renaming that copied Folder with a short name without dot (like renaming com.example.myapp folder to Myapp Folder)

3 renaming the apk from base.apk to Myapp.apk

4 uninstalling the app

5 under TWRP recovery mode mount the system partiton and copying the Myapp folder to system/priv-app directory

6 chmod 755 Myapp Folder

7 chmod 644 Myapp.apk

8 wipe Dalvilk Cache and rebooting

Steps 2 and 3 might be useless it was just because I noticed the Priv-app directory used these naming Scheme for apps inside this folder

I tried this method also under Lineage 17.1 and Magisk 21.4 but then the phone was not able to reboot until I delete the newly created folder inside Priv-app

I also tried another method using Magisk Systemize (Terminal) module but the result was the same (the app was running but not as a system app)

As I have never seen that it was mentionned in any posted method explaning how to turn an app into a system app, the installed app was not signed with the platform key and the manifest was not including android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"

Thanks in advance to those that will try to help.

If DM-Verity & AVB are enabled these locks must get disabled before trying to operate on /system partition
[General Questions and Answers] Lisadev:
Thanks but I don't think I have these enabled as I can mount write on the system partition, how do you check whether they are enabled or not ?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Newer Android versions have these locks by default enabled - they are set within file vbmeta.img : If enabled then phone's bootloader always loads device's Stock ROM, not any modded ROM where it doesn't matter whether partitions temporarily got mounted - by you - as RW or not.

Long story short: You've to unlock phone's bootloader, if not done yet, then disable the locks

Example code:

adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I wonder what's the difference between a system app and a common app. :D
[General Questions and Answers] :
Apps developed as system app / system privileged app can access System APIs whereas common user app cannot.

Simply installing a common user app as system app / system privleged app makes NO SENSE at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Lisadev:
Thanks but correct me if I'm wrong I could not have installed LineageOS TWRP and Magisk if Dm-verify was active so I don't think it is the issue here. I'm still looking forward what is preventing the app to run as a system app when it is installed in system/priv-app. The app is then running but as a standard app.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Must admit I don't understand your problem: an app either runs or runs not where it doesn't matter where it's located. That's also true if an app has root rights granted.

IMO only thing of interest is what Android app's permissions are granted. A permission SYSTEM / ALLOW_ALL what I think you expect to be there doesn't exist. See also here:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#public-constructors_1
[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
I ran into problems with a couple of methods as well. People said they would work, but they were no good. But do you know what has worked for me, reliably and consistently?

App Systemizer.

Just search for App Systemizer through Magisk. Download and install, then reboot. Now, open up a terminal with superuser privileges. Yeah, gotta use a terminal for this one. Open terminal and enter the command su (in case you didn't know how to get superuser privileges through a terminal). Once you've done that, enter the command systemize and then follow the prompts.

I had problems with other methods. This was the one that worked. Give it a try.

Start command prompt on your computer to navigate where the APK file is located. Enable USB debugging on your device and connect it to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will automatically rebooted and your app will now be saved as a system app.
[General Questions and Answers] Lisadev:
Fore instance there is some permissions like REBOOT that require a system app you will not be able to reboot through PowerManager otherwise even if I know you can rebbot by other means on a rooted phone using some su command.
[General Questions and Answers] Lisadev:
Yes thanks but if you read my first post you will see that I have tried Systemizer and it works in the sense that the app in installed inside system/priv-app folder and is able to run but it does not run as a system app

I don't get it, you probable forgot to post something in your message

The question that everybody wants to hear. Did any methods work for you?
[General Questions and Answers] George_7:
At the time of posting this (9th oct, 2021), this method works in my Android 10 (dunno 11, but most prob.)

Used Magisk root

1) First step, make /system writable (google made it read-only) by applying instruction from this thread - https://xdaforums.com/t/script-android-10-universal-mount-system-read-write-r-w.4247311/

This will make sure that folders moved into /system/app or /system/priv-app are permanent across reboots.

2) Install Lucky Patcher (search google to download)

3) Go to Magisk manager and install Lucky Patcher Module for moving apps to system.

4) Normally install the app you are aiming for. Grant it all necessary permissions by going to apps settings. (don't skip this particular step. Skipping it can make permissions not able to grant later on)

5) Go to Lucky Patcher and select the app, select tools option and then select move to /system/priv-app. Tick the use Magisk module checkbox

( No, not done yet. Remember, module only mounts the app, not truly move it to /system/priv-app )

6) Turn off the Lucky Patcher Module in Magisk and reboot. You will notice app has disappeared from system (expected behaviour)(don't skip this step)

7) Open a terminal app.

Type-

su
mount -o remount,rw /

After success (may need to reboot),

open a root file manager, go to folder /data/adb/modules/luckypatcher_apps/system

Here, you would find the real apk folder for /system/priv-app as well as the permission configuration for /system/etc/permissions

Copy both folders to respective /system directories.

(we use Lucky Patcher here since it generates correct files with the right permissions, but of course, App Systemizer may also be used, but the steps change and I don't use it, so continue)

8) Go to /data/data folder and delete the app data folder for the app that was moved to /system/priv-app (prevents bugs if any)

9) Reboot phone. Now the app you wanted is fully system privileged with it actually existing in /system/priv-app (can check with TWRP's file manager).

There is no modules like App Systemizer or Lucky Patcher module mounting it. Done.

10) As an aside, just delete the /data/adb/modules/luckypatcher_apps/system folder. Like this, no problem will arise even if you enable this module again for whatever reason.

That's it, all done. Survival across reboots is already a sure thing. Now try to Factory Reset if you want to test if it survives across resets.

*Note - Of course, just make a Nandroid and internal SD backup in case.

[General Questions and Answers] Jeffrey A. Hancock:
System App is not easily uninstalled by user, so it is a type of must have app as a android OS for a specific vendor(HTC, MOTO, Samsung).

Now how we can make an app as a system App.

Have source code

Have .apk Only

Step 1 Create a folder inside packages/apps/

First create a folder for your app ( Let say MyTestApp) inside packages/apps/ of your android AOSP downloaded source code.

Then create a Android.mk file inside the folder(MyTestApp).

Step 2 open Android.mk file and add folowing code Snippet and save this mk file.

Step 3 put your app name in build/target/product/ folder

open core.mk file from build/target/product/ folder and add your app name(MyTestApp) in

PRODUCT_PACKAGES tag at the bottom MyTestApp.

Now step by step procedure for .apk file

Step 1 will be same like above

only change is that in place of src, res folder just put your .apk file.

step 2 open Android.mk file and add folowing code Snippet.

Step 3 will be same as above mention for Android source code (a)

This is all about how to make an android app as a system App.

[ZTE nubia Red Magic Questions & Answers] VD171:
Why did you change your MAC address ?

You do NOT need to change your MAC address in Android 10, because you can choose for use a random MAC due privacy issues.

Your MAC address is shown only to system apps, all other apps, can NOT see your MAC address.

Android 10 masks your MAC address to 02:00:00:00 if any user app try to read MAC address.

I'm really desperate right now, I don't know what to do.
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Questions & Answers] VD171:
Don't create multiple replies, if you need, edit your last reply.

Does this app was designed for Android 10 ?

Obviously, not.

Because Android 10 will never allow the user to change MAC address.

Your MAC resides in your NVRAM and NVDATA.

Once you format your data, your NVDATA is formatted and a new one is created.

And then, the NVRAM is copied again to NVDATA.

So, erasing NVDATA should fix your MAC.

(I've said to erasing NVDATA and not NVRAM. If you lost your NVRAM, you lost your MAC and IMEI forever.)

Probably, you need to wipe your data too, I'm not sure, so I suggest you to make backup first.

Good luck.

Usually you should receive the latest officially available firmware for your device, region and carrier via OTA (over the air).

If you want to check manually, you can use search feature in xda forum or an external tool such as Frija (on a PC).

There you can check and download latest firmware for your device. Then you can flash it with Odin also using a PC and USB cable to your device (as long as the bootloader is unlocked).
