SAI VS revanced-builder

root BlueStacks, install the game on it, use a root-compatible file explorer like fx to go to the path System (Root)/data/app/com.llc3909.papersplease-1/ and copy over the 'base.apk' and 'split_config' apk, install on your phone using a split APK installer

I'm a mobile player (Android) and I was installing Dead Cells on my Nvidia Shield using SAI. I noticed I never properly logged in on my first device, so I did after playing one game on the Shield. That overwrote my 4bc save. So I guess I'm effed? I do have the SAI backup, but I don't think that has save files. I tried logging out again but seems like you still keep the same save.

SAI - Split APK Installer

Other than the base APK, split APK files can’t be installed individually with the default APK installer. You can use ADB tool to install them in a command line (“adb install-multiple -r base.apk split_config.armeabi_v7a.apk split_config.hdpi.apk”). But the easiest way is to use the open-source Split APKs Installer (https://github.com/Aefyr/SAI/releases). In SAI, click “Install APKs” and select all APKs exported from an app bundle, and finally click “Install”."

SAI itself has to be sideloaded on Shield TV because it's not available to Android TV devices (but works fine with sideload): https://github.com/Aefyr/SAI/releases

Maybe looking into SAI source code would assist. https://github.com/Aefyr/SAI

Then you use a split apk installer, such as https://github.com/Aefyr/SAI/ Once you download and install this from the releases page, go ahead and install it. You will be using it for bundling together the base.apk and the 4 split*.apk's from the *.vending directory and installing those 5 apks from the *.vending directory together..

Install the set of APKs using Split APKs Installer (SAI). You can download SAI from its GitHub repo, F-Droid, or Google Play Store.

Revanced Builder used to be a great web builder for ReVanced but now it's dead. I want to move my keystore to the official builder (or any other) so I don't have to uninstall my apps, but whenever I import revanced.keystore from Revanced Builder to the official Revanced app on Android, any patch will fail.

I saw that the windows builder has been discontinued, so is there no way for ARM7 users with no alternative phone to install? I've tried googling it but everything is several months out of date. Trying to use the old installer on a whim seemed to kick up a lot of errors and produce non working apk files.

You should be able to use Revancify on your armv7 device, or you can try the ReVanced Builder on PC. The builder can be buggy though. There's also the CLI on PC, but it's a bit difficult for beginners and I don't know of a good guide for it.

You've used this NodeJs Builder (https://github.com/reisxd/revanced-builder) right? If so how did you use it because for me the oauth client id patch gives me errors on it.

You can use revanced builder and select patches just like manager. It still need Zulu though. Link to Revanced Builder - https://github.com/reisxd/revanced-builder/releases. Download the windows version and run it. Just make sure to select these 4 patches - https://revanced.app/patches/com.reddit.frontpage.

You can try using revanced builder, the setup is quite a bit more complex but personally I've had better results with it

I tried Revanced builder based on this comment from my new Patron Saint, and it worked.

That said... Besides creating an issue for the devs in hopes they either fix or find the problem, i can't think of any other way to do it other than using the cli (or the unofficial, yet trustworthy builder)... And that's a bit less beginner-friendly...

Here's where I got it. It's where I've always gone to get the instructions for Termux. I just really prefer the termux version over the revanced manager.
