Hey Friends,
Today I am gonna show you the way to uninstall some special apps.
Friends you might had / have come across to such situation in which some app doesn't get uninstalled by task manager, file manager etc.
Some apps like apps related to some mobile security have to be uninstalled by following steps:
1.) Just Goto the settings menu of your mobile & Goto 'Location and Security' & it will just look like image 1 of the attachment.
2) Then in that just goto 'Select Device Administrator' tab as it sees in the image 2 of attachment.
3) Then entering in that will open the list of apps(If any present) with check box at right side of the screen which will look like image 3 in the attachment below.
Hope everybody have got my point.
Please rep if anybody has query.
Thank you

It signifies that your device doesn't contain any such security apps i.e. you had not downloaded it any apps like android lost, lock screen widget etc....
got it????
[Edit] Discontinued indefinitely. App creation was a little out of my league when I began trying to make it. Then Snapchat started encrypting files in more complicated ways than I had experience with, so I couldn't keep up and unfortunately had to drop all efforts. This project will no longer work and no further effort has been made to continue progress. I apologize for the lack of communication.
There are other resources out there that are still working, however. If you need help finding such things, you're welcome to PM me to ask what I'm referring to.
Discontinued until further notice. Currently working on an app that does all of this and more. For those who previously downloaded this and find it suits their needs for the most part, enjoy it, and consider checking out the app in the future. To others, I will let you know when I release the app. It should be much improved from the current project (and it doesn't require Tasker).
Due to a request to release my tasker project, which silently, neatly, and automatically copies and renames the snapchats you receive to a separate folder, I created this thread. Please try the latest version before asking for help with an issue. Most issues have probably been solved at this point.
There are still bound to be a few kinks in this, but I have spent lots of time getting it to work as much as possible (I am rather proud of the regular expressions that I created myself, even if they might be overkill).
Attached is the project if you just want to import it and let it go to work. Just extract from the zip and import in tasker by clicking a Project at the bottom of the Profiles tab (not the + sign, but an icon to the left of it)
To describe it simply: upon receiving a notification from snapchat and noticing a file change in the directory where the files are stored, it runs a series of commands that copies and saves them to the SDcard/Snapchat/Saves(/Vids) with filenames of "[DATE] - [TIMEMS] [NAME OF SENDER].jpg" (or .mp4). TIMEMS is the time in milliseconds from some time in January 1970. It keeps the task from overwriting your saves and it orders them nicely.
If I end up making any drastic changes, I'll probably come back and include them here. If you take it and make any changes that simplifies the process or makes it work better, feel free to share.
Good luck!
The new version (5-8_v5) has been released (small update from v4)! PLEASE READ BEFORE USING:
Requires Tasker's Accessibility service to be running (Android Settings> Accessibility> Tasker) to catch the notifications—only if you want the usernames to be automatically parsed and used; if you don't turn it on, it'll give you a Variable Query every time it finds a file loaded. Also if you don't turn it on, run the Folder Fixes task on your own, cause it's supposed to run the first time you get a notification.
When this first runs, it assumes that you have the folder/directories created. I don't know when snapchat creates them (during install or after receiving the first snap), so if you get errors related to not finding the file then try re-running the Folder Fixes associated task.
If you see something asking for text with the title Username, that's the Variable Query I mentioned. That's asking for the person's name who sent it, if you know it. If you don't know it at the time of asking, you can put anything in there and it'll copy with that attached (you can always go to the folder and rename it yourself)—otherwise, you can close it (or wait 15 seconds) and rerun the task on your own time.
Besides that, don't touch anything and you should be fine!
Changelog (5-8_v5):
Small update to 5-6 which stops the task and, therefore, the %Last[whatever] variables from being created if the Username variable is unset when it gets to the part where it copies (equating to no copies being made, regardless).
Because of that, now you shouldn't have to delete variables manually.
An unmentioned change in 5-6 was that I changed the flash message. It now flashes the names of each file it creates. This can be turned off—Action 37 in the Copy/Rename tasks.
(v2) Figured out the other reason why duplicates were happening with images. It has now been updated. (The only way this could backfire [same for videos] is if you get two different snaps of the exact same filesize in the same time period—very unlikely)
(v2) Made the Variable Query nicer looking.
(v3) Fixed some variable references that were funky
(v4) Fixed the profiles getting turned off and staying off by accident under certain scenarios
(v5) Changed it so no user input is required to turn off the profiles. If the 4.2+ one runs at all, it stops and turns off the other one.
(v5) Changed the %Last[etc] variables from creating excessive arrays with the same numbers.
Changelog (5-6):
Revamped the way it checks for previously copied snaps. It should be foolproof now, giving no duplicates while still not missing any.
Added an Array Clear for the %Username variable at the end of the copy/rename tasks.
Added a Variable Query if it's going to copy something but %Username is not set (see above for usage)
You can delete the Variable Set %Notification from the Update Username task if you want. It's just there for me so I can check it as a global variable. It isn't referenced anywhere else in the project.
Changelog (5-4_v2):
TONS of error fixes caused by insufficient permissions and directories are now included in the run-once profile.
Added profile (and associated tasks) which should fix the problem that users were having about the video folder not existing
(v2) Optimized the way it turns off profiles. This should automate the above-listed stuff. So even if you have all the profiles on, it should turn off the ones that don't work (unless both of them work). Still, in case the run-once wasn't turning off when done, now it will.
(v2) I consider this the first fully stable release. However, you're welcome to note if it doesn't work for you.
Changelog (5-3):
The received_video_snaps folder will no longer be allowed to be deleted by Snapchat
No more error messages when saving video snaps
If the %Username(1) variable is unset, it will flash a Variable Query, which you should type the person's name in.
The only issue with this is for videos. You will just need to go back to the other screen and load the video again.
If/Then was deleted in the Username catching task to catch multiple usernames better.
Profiles should now only trigger once per file change. I would check from time to time to make sure they are still in the "on" position. It should be fine, but I won't assume anything.
Project icon changed to Snapchat icon
Changelog (4-29):
has been significantly enhanced from the original. It now does a much better job:
Preventing duplicates saves
Not running indefinitely
Running efficiently and quicker
Having less confusing global variables
Picking up the username (currently testing to see if this can be done even better, but I basically need to wait for a certain type of notification. It should be better regardless)
Edit, I think it's safe to delete the If and End If in the Update Username task, which might work for trying to pick up multiple usernames at the same time. This hasn't been extensively tested, but I'm pretty sure it's the correct decision
Automatically catching videos when they're loaded
I also fixed a few rather large errors that might have been in the previous release
Donations are accepted!
NEWEST Version is on the bottom (I'm not really sure why people are downloading the original version at this point... it's just there for reference. I may just remove that one if it tricks people that much...)
I should probably note that this does require root, because you have to change the permissions of the files for tasker to be able to read them.
Hello, is it possible to make one with this conditions with just a simple task...
Whenever I receive new snapchat notification, I then open tasker and just run that particular task.
What I want the task to do is just copy everything and remove the ".nomedia" extension from snapchat folder into a new folder in the memory card.
The reason I want this is that Snapchat isn't so popular in my country. Therefore, I only receive Snapchats once in a while and I only want to save the images sometimes. Not all the times. Moreover, i dont wanna keep tasker running in the background.
Thanks a lot!!

That should be rather simple. If you wanted to use my project, you would do that by deleting or turning off all the profiles in the project, and then you'd only need the tasks named Run & Rename Snapchat Image and Run & Rename Snapchat Video and get rid of some of the extra features that you don't need. For example, you could get rid of a bunch of the steps in the tasks.
[deleted]
This would technically work for both images and videos, but to get it to actually find the videos, you'd have to find a way to run the task while snapchat is loaded and the video says "Tap to View". I'd suggest setting up a gesture.
By the way, in the project I have, tasker only runs when each profile is active. That's why they're there, to prevent the battery drain that would otherwise occur. The profile states are rather infrequent (when you receive a snapchat notification, and when a file is changed in the directories listed), so I haven't really noticed battery drain from that.
You're also aware that you have to do this BEFORE you view the snapchat, right? Otherwise, you could just take a screenshot...
An alternative to the above method would be to use the Copy Dir command on those directories, or the FolderSync app, but you'd still need to change or add the correct file extension (jpg and mp4). Fiddle around with it; you might be able to figure out a way to add the extension.
Disregard below, I figured it out, it wasn't so clear about long pressing the icons at the bottom of the screen to get to the projects dialog. Done now! Thank you shenkenstein
I'm unable to import the prj file. I tried multiple things until I just changed it from snap.prj.xml to snap.prf.xml and the Tasker was able to see it in the import dialog. But once I select it I get:
Error: the import contains more than one profiles
I'm thinking there's something missing in my Tasker. I keep hearing references to 'projects' but no such tab exists in my UI. I've gone to preferences and unchecked 'beginner mode' with very little changes.
What am I missing?

I actually tried setting up a simple copy dir commad. Just copy dir from the receivedsnapchat folder to a random folder on my sdcard whenever I run Snapchat.
However, it doesnt seem to work. I guess it's something to do with the chmod thing which I'm not familiar with. Am I right?
Thanks for your help tho! I'll try out the steps you listed. Hopefully I can get it to work.

On second thought, what you want would just be easier to create a task with:
A1: List Files [ Dir:/data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps Match: Include Hidden Files: On Variable:%nomedia Continue Task After Error: On ]
A2: List Files [ Dir:/data/media/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_video_snaps Match: Include Hidden Files: On Variable:%nomediavid Continue Task After Error: On ]
A3: Run Shell [ Command:chmod 777 %nomedia() Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root: On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: Continue Task After Error: On ]
A4: For [ Variable:%filestocopy Items:%nomedia() ] --- don't forget the () after nomedia
A5: Copy File [ From:%filestocopy To:Snapchat/Saves/%TIMEMS.jpg Use Root: Off Continue Task After Error: On] -- here's where I have an issue, because I'm pretty sure you need to tell it the original filename of the file, minus the nomedia part (the variables stored in %nomedia will be the entire filename, including directories). That's why I find it easier to create my own filename, so I'd use something like %TIMEMS as I have listed. You could also change the directory here. You COULD keep the old filename using tasker's variable search replace function with a regex to select everything but the nomedia part, but I think that's not worth the effort.
A6: End For

Alright managed to get it working. Currently for A5, I've set it to To:New Folder. This new folder is a folder on my sdcard.
The question I have is, if I'm using %TIMEMS.jpg, how would it rename the files? Would it be sequenced or will all the files have the same name?
Would it be 1TIMEMS.jpg, and next pic would be 2TIMEMS.jpg, 3TIMEMS.jpg and so on? Or would it be the original filename with TIMEMS at the back, ie. "adlfkadlfhadlfTIMEMS.jpg"?
Thanks!!

You can see for yourself by doing a flash %TIMEMS. It always comes up with different numbers, such as 1367028766502 or 1367028766586. I don't think tasker is fast enough to do multiple commands in the same millisecond. Does that make sense?
And chmod is the shell command that gives the files permission to be read, write, and executed. You can read about it online if you really want, but if it's not working you either don't have root or didn't check use root. In fact, the Copy Dir alternative would probably require use root to be checked as well, but again, because we're wanting to change filenames, I don't think that's the command we want.
Bumping because of new version.
You can delete the old project and add this one if you have the older version. Deleting a project is done much the same way adding one is.
Vid done!
I installed and when I load a video, I get a message "Vid Done" When I exit Snapchat, I get a Tasker Error, List Files: file not found: /data/media/Android/com.snapchat.android/cache/Received video snaps. What am I doing wrong? I'm a noob, sorry if it's a dumb question.
Hi! I've imported it to Tasker, and everything seems fine there. However, it simply won't do anything and I've tried everything with my extremely limited knowledge.
I receive a Snap, but nothing shows up in /storage/sdcard0/Snapchat/Saves/(or Vids depending). Running Xperia P, with JB 4.1.2
I've checked that the images or videos do show up in the folders specified by the project, it just seems like it doesn't recognize I have gotten a snap?

Do you have tasker enabled in accessibility settings? If not, then the profile won't get the username from the notification. If you don't want to enable it, you can add a Variable Query for Username(1) in the copying task. Then, that'll always ask you for that variable when it finds the file added. Just put whatever you want there (though it's designed for the person's name)
As my project is set up, the file won't copy if the username isn't set, and it won't set if tasker can't access the notifications.
I've just added:
If %Username(1) ! Set
Variable Query: Variable %Username(1)
End If
to my copy tasks right before the For, For, Run Shell, etc... commands. That should take care of that situation, if it's the problem, and if I release a new version it'll have it :good:

No, it's not a dumb question. It's because the File Modified profile picks up when Snapchat deletes the file as well as when the file is copied by tasker (but the task that gets that error message is what allows it to not run every time this happens). It's not a significant error, UNLESS you aren't seeing it copy the files. You can turn those flash error messages off in Tasker Preferences>Action>Flash Problems.
Edit: I just fixed the error message from displaying even with the flash problems option checked. Go to the SnapVid File Added profile, click the File Modified part of it, and add /received_video_snaps/ after /cache/ so that it looks like "/data/media/Android/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_media_snaps/" without the quotes. I'm surprised I didn't notice that myself. Haha, thanks for pointing it out. That'll should also prevent the task from running while you're sending videos (because I saw a folder named sending_video_snaps there too before it deleted it again).
Edit 2: Nevermind, the error still came up, but it's only when snapchat deletes the folder. Also, my profile doesn't activate with that folder added, which is probably why I left it at /cache/. What's happening is the Video File Ready task is trying to List Files and it's not finding the folder in which it's supposed to search. I don't know any way around this because it keeps deleting the folder, even if you add it manually. --more on this below--

After enabling it in the accessibility settings it still isn't working fully.
In Tasker, I imported the SNAP.prj.xml file, and the profiles "Snapchat Notification, Snap File Added and SnapVid File Added" are all set to on. Tasker says there are "no active profiles" but I assume that is due to the snap.prj.xml file being under the "two people" tab, and not the "house" tab.
I see that under vars on the home tab I have "%Username1 someoneIrecievedfrom" so something must be work. Just not getting any files I assume. Again, this (adding variables and such) is out of my league, so I apologize for seeming a bit technically impaired.

If you run the Run & Rename Snapchat Image task by itself, does it work then?
Hmm. Don't worry about the username variable, then. The "no active profiles" is fine, because these profiles are set to be active only for the event itself (which is like a split second long). The only other thing I can think of, without seeing your run log, is if you don't have root or haven't given Tasker root access. So, also try turning on the Run Log and noting where you get an error.
Breakthrough!
I just had a major breakthrough with the videos folder deletion problem (which ends up creating errors and stuff). [deleted]
That literally disables Snapchat's ability to delete folders in the cache folder, but it allows it to create new folders and files within the new folders. Theoretically, you could also do this same function to the received_video_snaps folder, and it would never be able to delete the files within the folder. Unfortunately, if you did that then every time you hit "load" in snapchat, it would load a new file into the folder, so you'd probably get multiples. But that could be done to the images folder without any issues, I think.

I'm having this issue too. I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus and have enabled Tasker in Accessibility settings. I've attempted to run the ''Run and Rename Snapchat Image' when I had a pending one and it did not work. I could, however, see the file in the directory (/data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps) when I checked it out via Root Explorer. I also could see my contact's name in the %Username value.
My Run Log from when I manually run that task with an active Snapchat is attached with the 5-3 profile.

Thanks for the Run Log.
Well, your answer is that the List Files command (label List nomedia) is failing to find the files in the folder. I can think of only two possible reasons for this (and I think it's #1):
1. Check the permissions of the folder /received_image_snaps/ and tell me if it's missing read permissions for group or other (I think Tasker falls under Other, but I forget). If it is, try manually adding those permissions (check the boxes); you might want to add permissions to execute as well, just in case. I can set up another command in the run-once profile to solve this for everyone if it fixes it for you, so let me know.
2. In the List nomedia command, I have it set up to match any files in there which have a character or more followed by .nomedia (this is under Match, listed as "+.nomedia"). If the files you see in that folder don't match this regex, it won't list them. You can safely delete this entirely without any negative side-effects. Nothing gets put in that folder that doesn't match that regex, anyway, for me.

Yeah, the permissions were not set to allow it reading. Now it gets to the end before it fails. I've uploaded the run log as well as a screenshot of the error it pops out. It's worth noting that the file it "can't find" both exists and has 777 permissions set.

Strange. I normally only see the copy file error if the file itself doesn't have permissions (which would be the result of the previous command not working) or if the %Username1 variable doesn't exist, but you noted clearly that it did work, and the variable should still be there from when it found it earlier.
And I think I just duplicated this error. It's so mundane that this is the case, but it's quite a big issue, so I'll have to update the version in a bit. Try adding a Saves folder in your Snapchat folder in your sd card. I was about to doubt this would be the case until I tried a different folder in my task.
Though, I'm confused why your screen still showed that error. Something's still awry I think...
Skip to How to Import Chat History below to skip the background reading.
Yes, there is a graphical import method for Line!
If you use Line, and you want to change between devices, it seems as though it is nearly impossible to backup (export) and restore (import) your Line chat history. I have searched XDA, Google, AndroidForums, Line's (useless) online help, etc. No help, no info. There are some guides about how to use a SQL editor to fool the app, etc., but that was just way too much effort for me, so I finally gave up and just switched. BUT, before I did, I went ahead and exported all my chats, even knowing there was no way to import them, just in case. Well, that just paid off.
There is absolutely no method available within Line to restore your chat history, right?! WHY is there a backup option? There MUST be a way! Seemingly no.
I just figured it out. And when I explain it, you too will wonder, why in the !#$%@^[email protected]%!#@$!#[email protected]^*%^&(*%^@# has Naver not published this?????
I was on my way to back everything up in preparation for a new ROM and figured I'd do a complete and total system wipe, meaning, I went to take a look at my internal storage (SDcard, Emulated, 0, whatever you refer to it as), to ensure that I got all the little things I want, like Viber pictures, WhatsApp pics, etc. And there I saw it. The folder. And, like you are now thinking, I thought, just maybe...
How to Import Chat History (Abbreviated, Quick and Easy)
Copy your chatHistory.zip file to internal storage sdcard/LINE_Backup
Start Line, open an existing chat or start a new chat with the person whose chat history you want to restore
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, Chat Settings, and look what just showed up below the (formerly) useless Backup Chat History option
How to Backup and Restore Chat History (Additional Details)
Line offers a "Backup Chat History" option, but keep in mind, this is conversation / per-person specific. That means, you need to do it for each individual person.
For my own ease of use, and to make transferring things easy, now that I know what the process is, here's what I did.
Backing Up
Go into the conversation you want to backup.
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, and select Chat Settings.
Select Backup Chat History, Backup All
Say Yes to e-mail this chat - in a previous version, I had to enter the conversation person's name in the subject, the new Line now does this for me.
Repeat this process for every conversation you want to migrate to a new device.
Restoring
On your new device, save the attachments from each e-mail into the /InternalSDCard/LINE_Backup/ directory.
Start Line, go to Chats, Tap the Chat Bubble in the upper right to start a new conversation, select the person you want to restore
Your chat window will be empty, but from here, you just follow the instructions above, basically, drop-down arrow, Chat Settings, Import Chat History
And that's it.
I REALLY hope this helps some people out. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this out, and as usual, once you know the solution, it's pretty simple and seems so obvious.
If I helped, throw me some Thanks button so I know I wasn't the only one!
I have a google Nexus 5, which doesn't have any internal storage.
Are you able to specify where this should be copied too as I cannot seem to find the right holder.
Also, what am i copying in there? The actual zip file or an extract of the zip file?one

On your internal storage of your Nexus 5, create a folder called: LINE_Backup the exact upper/lower case and _ matter. Put the LINE backup zips in that folder, do not extract them. LINE knows which zip goes with which user, you just have to start the chat and import per the instructions above.

How to Backup and Restore Chat History (Additional Details)
Line offers a "Backup Chat History" option, but keep in mind, this is conversation / per-person specific. That means, you need to do it for each individual person.
For my own ease of use, and to make transferring things easy, now that I know what the process is, here's what I did.
Backing Up
Go into the conversation you want to backup.
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, and select Chat Settings.
Select Backup Chat History, Backup All
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately, The "Backup All" setting only applies to one-on-one conversations. Group chats only give you the Backup as Text option.

That sucks. I haven't tried a group chat in LINE before. Did you try a backup/import to see if it would work? I'm sort of assuming no, that it doesn't work, based on your post. :/
Thanks!
A huge THANKS for this, saved me alot of trouble.
Still, anyone figured out how to import group chats? Maybe from the text file?

A big you're welcome.
I don't have enough LINE friends to actually have a group chat and try to figure it out.
I just found a method for importing the chat history using Titanium Backup and the terminal. You need root for this. Recently Line made some changes that made this more
Hope you find this useful.
1. Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
2. Log into a root shell and delete the previous settings:
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
3. Now we have to delete this xml only if you are using a recent version. In previous ones it didn't even exist as far as I know
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
4. Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password.
You will receive a warning about losing your chat history. Just ignore it and...
5. Enjoy!
I had copy the zip files to the Line_backup folder which was already in the phone internal memory. However, there is no Import Chat History Button.
The Line version was the latest one and had Force Stop and restarted Line. Still to no avail.
Is there any way to view the chat log?
What format is it saved in and how would you go about viewing the chat log if you were sent one from a chat that wasn't yours?
Didn't Work on LG Android Optimus
I must be doing something wrong, but it seems I've followed all the steps. The LINE_backup files are in my SD card, but when I click Import Chat History>yes>ok, nothing happens... :/
I made an account just to post on here and hopefully find out.

I used this method and bang! It works like a charm!
Thanks a lot
*It actually still gives warning after I logged in - that my chat history will be deleted or such -, but actually it didn't delete a thing. So, to anyone who wanna try this, don't worry with the warning message!*

If I use SQLite Debugger to delete the setting table, and I also remove the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file with ES Explorer, I get the Force Close when I try to open the application.
And If I delete the whole naver_line database, then Line starts, but losing the chat history.

Got it! I was missing the su command to make the emulator rooted.
I also found the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file in a slightly different location than where daimyorl said above (but the credits go to him). For me it was into /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/
Then, the complete instructions that worked for me are:
Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
Log into a shell and delete the settings:
Code:
su
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
Remove jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Code:
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password. It will also ask your phone number for the confirmation SMS.
Enjoy!

Can I import to a different phone number?
Thanks for the guide. Does this work if I want to import my chat history to a completely different phone number? But I'll still be using the same android phone.

Thank you ! I was looking for a good way to restore my chats, seems your's is great !
I've been testing apps for days and this is the one that worked best on my AMAZFIT PACE watch. It works quite well and with the method I present you can download maps from all over the world in the internal memory of the watch. It does not work with the clock wifi itself. It perfectly locates the location and you can access most of the options.
Sometimes you can not read the content well but we can help you from the same application on the phone. I briefly explain how I did it. More ahead I will go up explaining videos.
We will need to have a phone with Android.
First, we installed the app on the phone and in the watch (via apkinstaller). The application (apk) that I have installed is called "All-In-One Offline Maps + .ver.2.4.build.51" if you put it like that in google you will appear to download.
Then we open the app on your mobile phone:
• We go to the symbol of the map,
• Click on "save an area"
• Framing the part of the map that we want to save and the zoom that we want to obtain
• Press the save button
• This process will take a long time to download
• Once downloaded we will go to the root folder of the phone and copy the folder "OfflineMaps" and save it in our PC.
Once the folder is saved in our PC we replace it with the one in our amazfit . Now we will open the app on our amazfit and should see the downloaded area. It perfectly locates our location. To be able to know what you put in the options it is better to go browsing the app on the mobile at the same time.
Sorry i can put a link because i am a new user.
Search: "Amazfit Maps + GPS offline [NEW APK compatible]" in youtube and you can see a video demostration
I hope I have been helpful.

I see release 2.7 available, do you recommend 2.4 because it is the only one working or should I proceed with 2.7?
Do you how to uninstall the app if I need to?

I am the only version I have tried. Under my experience with other apps in the amazfit, the older the actualization the less likely to fail. That is why I have stayed with version 2.4.
Anyway try to try it and tell us how you have gone. You can uninstall from apkinstaller
it work so far but I have a blank area at the bottom of the screen (same on the phone).
I could not remove it, do you know how to do so? you dont have it from what I have seen on youtube

Hello,
On my smartphone the saving of saved cards is on Android / data / net.psyberia.offlinemapsplus / files / cache / builtin-maps,
So if I understand I get the two files * .DAT and * .DX that I put in a folder "offlineMaps" on the PC, that I send to the watch Amazfit Pace, but how to send it in the watch? With the PC and the connected watch? But there is a specific file to put this folder map in the watch?
Thank you for your reply.
adb shell

start adb shell on your PC and send:
adb push ./<pc-path>/filename.Dat /mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/legacy/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
adb push ./<pc-path>/filename.IDX /mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/legacy/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
Thus you get you files at least to your watch. I enabled on the Watch the option "Use Only local storage" in order to avoid network acceess issue.
But at the moment I do not get it why the APP is not finding the local files?
The APP on the watch indicates a different path to the workspace on the mobile for offline data:
watch pach: /storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache
with adb I do not get the access rights to create the /storage/emulated/ (read only) etc. dirctories and with the mounted path I am allowed to create everything but then itis not found by the watch app:
/mnt/sdcard/storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache
Still I have no clue how to solve this directory issue?:silly:
you can kill the package on the watch with an adb shell too:
am force-stop net.psyberia.*
Beside the APP is only working in a reasonable way with the Paid version. With the free version you get a blank column in the buttom which makes navigation impossible. The App itself can only be started on the watch and only be dismissed via adb shell -> am force-stop ....
or power shut down. Since it can be very CPU consuming I would assume that the resulting power drain is not funny. Currently I think it can only ne used as a sort of emergeny app I only will use if I am completly lost and the mobile is out of power too. Therefore you should think twice before you spend time and money on this.

I finally got it and it works great! The "simple" solution is to install a file explorer on the watch itself. I found one online and it works great (com.alphainventor.filemanager.apk). The local file explorer (on the watch) 'sees' all the directories properly. You can therefore copy and paste the files from your PC on the "SD card" part of the watch (where you can see some directories and have read/write access). Then use the watche's file explorer to move those files/dirs (the maps) to the right folder on the watch. It will then work!
As an added bonus, once you copy files into those "unseen by Windows" directories (for example one of mine was "Android" and all its subdirs) it becomes visible in Windows Explorer! So next time you update maps on the PC you should be able to copy and paste over without requiring the use of the watche's file explorer.
I hope that helps.

Ok FileManager works but you can achieve the same with adb shell too.
Still I do not understand to which path the offline map files needs to be pushed that they get loaded. According to Settings->StrorageDevice I should know the right path but it is not working.
So where to push the files?
Now I got it. Of course the offline strorage path is different for each map type and can be seen with the details of the map.
I am using OSM Hike&Bike, it states in its details for offline storage /storage/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps an therefore I pushed it to the followng path (means "/storage" is substituted by "/mnt/shell")
adb push ./<pc-path>/OSMCYC.DAT /mnt/shell/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
adb push ./<pc-path>/OSMCYC.IDX /mnt/shell/emulated/0/OfflineMaps/cache/builtin-maps
Beside I have installed a task manager thus I am able to kill the app. Thus it very much easier to restart the app when needed.

Hello, I've just created a Twin App for Whatsapp on my Mate 10 Pro, but I can't find the Twin App folder. Can anyone help my find its path... Thanks
2nd icon will appear on home screen. Make sure you have selected Drawer Home Screen from settings.
[BUMP] File Location
Hi All,
Recently i have just started to use AppTwin for Whatsapp.
However i am not able to find the folder/directory when i connect my phone to PC through USB.
Any help are appreciated.
Non-rooted Mate10Pro here, running on EMUI 8.0
The same question here...
How can I find the app twin whasapp file/folder location?
Mate 10 Pro, EMUI 8... moving from old samsung dual sim (second whasapp was used through "Parallel App" - so no google drive backup... only local).
No, trying to transfer the old "local" whataspp backup file to the "unknown" twin app whatsapp location!
Please help.
Thanks,
Costi
From what I saw when enabling this for Facebook, the folder /data/user/10 is created. So basically it's creating a new user where you launch the twinned Facebook from.
This would be where your data is located, and impossible to get to without root.
Hi,
I installed adb and took a look at adb commands and paths and so on .
It looks that app twin makes a different path every time BUT it keeps a structure.
So, for App Twin Whatsapp it's the following path: "storage/emulated/<10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or xx >/whatsapp
So far so good, I managed to push the "msgstore.db.crypt12" file to the above Database folder/structure but have no idea how to force whatsapp for load the backup file!
And whatsapp Q&A is saying: uninstall and reinstall the app... in my case swhitching the APP TWIN button off and on again.. .but in this case the above folder structure is deleted
Will try again (in the mean time I'm on a 2 hours hold for authentication code (too many codes asked ) in a few hours!
And no, no root here but thanks anyway
LE: OFF-ON the App Twin switch. Above folder structure erased by the system.
Started Whasapp again and right before receiving the authentication code, I created through ADB the Whatapp and Database folder in the above path and copied the msgstore.db.crypt12 file.
After inserting the code, whatsapp identifies the above file and prompts for restore.
JOB DONE!!!!
