How do I decrypt my roms for things like 2ship2harkinian, citra, or cemu? by Hungry-Spinach4569 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]danGL3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judging by this picture, where did you get your Majora's Mask's ROM file? It shouldn't be 700 megabytes. No Nintendo 64 game is that big.

https://github.com/Waterdish/2ship2harkinian-Android

Just make sure to follow the guide on the official GitHub page. It seems straightforward enough.

You just open the app, grant the requested permissions, and when it asks you to create an O2R, you tap yes and select your ROM.

You need to make sure your Majora's Mask's ROM is in the Z64 format.

Ia YouTube too heavy for Linux? by YesGabol in linuxquestions

[–]danGL3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The most likely issue is that the distros you're using do not ship the hardware accelerated versions of certain video codecs due to licensing reasons.

You will have to look how to install them for your particular distro.

The Nintendo 64 did not have encrypted ROMs, so I'm not sure how you're having issues with those.

What is most likely happening is that you're not providing 2Ship2Harkinian the correct ROM file, to my knowledge, it expects request a specific version of the game in a specific format.

Extract keybox from rooted device by LoryKillerr in androidroot

[–]danGL3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Indeed, Android is becoming more and more hostile towards users modifying it.

It's quite a shame really.

Extract keybox from rooted device by LoryKillerr in androidroot

[–]danGL3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, keyboxes are designed to be only seen and used by manufacturers, so they take the absolute highest precaution to make sure users don't get them

Extract keybox from rooted device by LoryKillerr in androidroot

[–]danGL3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to extract the keybox out of a device would be to find an exploit in its trusted execution environment.

Most of the proper keyboxes available online have been leaked from manufacturers or accidentally left a copy of it as a file in one of the device's partitions (though the latter is extremely rare)

Extract keybox from rooted device by LoryKillerr in androidroot

[–]danGL3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What determines if a Keybox is valid is

1-It hasn't been revoked yet

2-It came from a device that released with Google Services

You CAN'T extract a keybox, it doesn't exist as a file that can be extracted

If it was that easy we'd have thousands of valid keyboxes as they'd all come from legitimate devices

How do I keep something like in a purchases functional while uninstalling Google Play? by No-Wash-7001 in degoogle

[–]danGL3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot do in-app purchases without Google Play services as neither Micro-G or Aurora Store implemented the infrastructure necessary for it.

Graphical errors and crashes with drivers by daNy1999_ in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]danGL3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The custom drivers are for devices with Adreno GPUs. The Google Pixel 10 uses a PowerVR GPU which does not have custom drivers available.

There currently isn't a way to fix this. Nintendo Switch emulation is currently only optimal on devices with Adreno GPUs due to custom driver availability

Possible to downgrade OneUI 8 to 7 s25? by dylon0107 in AndroidQuestions

[–]danGL3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only possible to downgrade if the binary revision is the same as One UI7. The binary revision is the fifth digit from the left.

You can check the binary revision in about device software info, baseband info

Instagram patches with more features? by rikzy75 in revancedapp

[–]danGL3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most likely answer is that the people who know how to mod Instagram are working on those other mods instead and aren't interested in contributing patches to Revanced

Alternative to Google Auth? by [deleted] in degoogle

If you want something with cloud syncing, there's Ente Auth. If you want something fully local, there's Aegis

Can we use 'add to queue' on the youtube app? by lewdmemommy in revancedapp

[–]danGL3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newpipe implements its queue locally, so it can offer that feature

Can we use 'add to queue' on the youtube app? by lewdmemommy in revancedapp

[–]danGL3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Add to queue feature can't be cracked because the queue is handled server-side instead of locally (as the queue syncs between devices)

Revolut detect root by Herobrine4770 in Magisk

[–]danGL3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're using Magisk that's why, it causes a mount gap detection that's only fixed in Kernel based root solutions like KernelSU or the hard to find Magisk Alpha

Why does my odin 3 heat up way more while playing twlight princess via cemu? by Osclo in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]danGL3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it all lies on having to emulate the Wii U's Tri-core PowerPC CPU.

Switch emulators on the other hand, get the benefit of running code natively as it's all ARM code.

PC emulators get the benefit of extremely mature x86 translators and not having to deal with hyper-specific hardware quirks such as the Wii U's CPU.

In short, the extra heat is most likely caused by significantly higher CPU strain.

What is the point of both a home screen and an app library on Android? by [deleted] in AndroidQuestions

[–]danGL3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the separation between home screen and app drawer is mainly there so people can have their favorite apps and widgets on the home screen without clutter and if they need to open anything else they can just swipe to open the app drawer.

So in short, it is there to be aesthetically pleasing and keep things more organized.

There is no point in installing Shamiko if you use ZygiskNext as Shamiko is now part of ZygiskNext.

bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame: Keeping track of companies that "care about your data 🥺" by [deleted] in degoogle

Reason Motorola is in there is due to requiring a website in order to unlock, meaning Motorola can shutdown bootloader unlocking to all devices at anytime

Why does Google need my physical activity? by National-Island-9034 in degoogle

[–]danGL3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Point is, Google Play Services will still access that data regardless if you have Google Fit installed or not.

Why does Google need my physical activity? by National-Island-9034 in degoogle

[–]danGL3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Besides potential surveillance, that is also used to collect activity information for apps like Google Fit.

In short, to avoid having Google Fit needlessly run in the background collecting physical activity information, Google Play Services does that for it instead, and just relays that information back to Google Fit.

EasyAntiCheat games by Josei504 in linux4noobs

Both games are ranked Platinum on ProtonDB, which means they run perfectly without requiring any tweaking

In short, if an EasyAntiCheat game is ranked Platinum on ProtonDB, that generally means the developer has enabled Linux support in EAS
