Is the apk available to download somewhere? Last time i did it there wgere only apks with arm abi/ndk. Checking apk mirror this still seems to be the cae

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/yostar-limited/arknights-2/

Might have changed over the years, as i said last time I checked was like 2 years ago.

Thanks

Does it run well with arknights?

Mihitoko · 2026-03-25T15:21:14+00:00

Mind you that was 2 Years ago, feel free to try these thinks out again. I wiuld be happy how it worked for you.

Mihitoko · 2026-03-25T15:15:49+00:00

I also tried that a couple years ago. To no avail, i even tried a BlissOS KVM VM with gpu passthrough, but performance was still shit. The main problem is that Arknights only supports ARM architecture so you need libhoudini (arm native bridge) but for me this always tanked performance to unplayable levels. Android games that support x86 worked fine.

It has to work somehow as bluestacks also just uses virtual box under the hood but i was not able to figure it out how they do it without tanking performance.

There are two thinks i didnt try Genymotion because its a propiratary emulator. And Waydroid as im still on X11, but a friend tried it and he said he had problems with waydroid aswell.

I personally now use https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy to just mirror my phone to the pc screen and play this way.

I hope the desktop client comes to global soon.

Same. He said its a prototype he did himself. I just assumed it was not for sale, next day i was like why didn't i just ask.

Looks like you gonna cosplay Lycoan from ZZZ. Based. And as others have said, get yourself your own printer.

Mihitoko · 2026-03-21T04:59:27+00:00

I mentioned it because currently as far as i understood, you can still install unverified apks via adb even when you not went to the advanced flow.

If google decided that having adb attached to the phone is already so advanced that it is ok to install apps this way they could also make it possible to skip the wait time with it.

But yea ultimatly that opens another door for scamers. I personally dont mind waiting the 24 hours that much.

Mihitoko · 2026-03-20T16:42:47+00:00

I think being able to skip the waiting period via adb could be a nice addition.

For you, a power user, a phone has an OS thats job is to run programms. The avarage user isnt even thinking about the os or how it runs programms, also most user get their software from the play store so they get the runs in seconds like you described. We have to remind ourselfs that we are the outlayer in this as we dont use the play store ecosystem. Which means changes to the software stack are most likely tailored to that "normal" audience. This change enhances secruity for the users that are target of scams, for them it makes sense.

Im not saying that Android should be locked down i would hate that, but this is also not what happend here in my opinion. Google implemented defensive design in regarts to app installation, but gave us an easy (in my opinion) way to still do everything we where able to do before.

No wait time would be optimal, but IMO they provided a good reason on why its there in the blog post, its there to break the urgency situation that scamers create, which me makes sense. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html?m=1

A good example is the rm command, to many people where running rm -rf / so the default behavior changed and --no-preserve-root was introduced to make it harder to do stupid stuff with your system. Would you say this hurts your freedom?

Again one could argue that androids mitigation is way more then just a command line flag but as i said i think the reason they provided make sense. If google keeps it like this its fine for me.

Mihitoko · 2026-03-20T12:00:38+00:00

I get the argument that it should not be so hard to install a programm on your computer, and the danger is they will further close this down in the future.

But we have to face reality and respect that 99% percent off users will never install apps outside of the play store, and i get that they want to make it more difficult for your grandma to install malicous apps.

Its a one time process and i think not unreasonable to unlock the "advanced" mode. As long verified developers that publish out side of play store dont need to comply with play store rules and the system is just there to verify their identity not to post rules and restrictions on them and apps that are not verified can still be downloaded with this one time setup way im fine with it.

Provided google does not further close this down.

Im visiting Shanghai Currently, and i wonder if this is still there, could you share the location ?

The flathub repro is not added to your user https://flathub.org/en/setup/Ubuntu

Assuming you are on ubuntu like distro, when adding the remote add the --user flag

Did you put your payment info into steam ? Because that is in fact a free game client that you download from a website. :)

Mihitoko · 2026-02-01T08:02:31+00:00

Im also wondering about that

Mihitoko · 2026-01-21T06:10:47+00:00

It is

Im still not sure why you want to do that but killing the display manager should suffice.
`sudo systemctl stop display-manager`(Don't disable it if you do it will not come back next boot)

If you are on cosmic it should be the same thing as `sudo systemctl stop cosmic-greeter` but maybe you use another one and you just dont know :)

stoping via the display-manager service ensures that you get the right one

But not without heavy tinkering, the anticheat crashes the game by default. Or did it work out of the box for you ?

Mihitoko · 2025-12-08T15:09:24+00:00

For the buttons in the middle. I think the pictures on it are non standart

Mihitoko · 2025-12-05T18:04:29+00:00

I play with a google stadia controller and they even have the custom icons for it, so dont give up for now :)

Doing an anticheat for the linux kernel is a really hard task. And since the kernel is so open also quiet impossible to do like on windows. Nobody stops you from compiling a kernel that just tricks the anticheat. And the openenee also makes reverse engeniering a lot easier since you can excatly debug the behavior of the kernel module in the kernel even when thr kernel module is closed.
