Mastergear 4.9.8

[Stealth25k]

Hi all i have android 15 and a samsung fold 6. For some reason mastergear does not see any of my roms nor does it ask me to access folder like other emulators. Any chance that will be fixed or any other solutions?

Thanks in advance

Click on the "Internal Storage", select folder, click on Grant Access.

Thank you for the quick response. I Dont have that option. When i select  the folder it is just empty.  Unless the option is hidden in the settings?

Ok found it but i had to select grid view. Thanks anyways. Thats one thing i don't like about folding phones

Unfortunately, I do not have a Fold and thus have no idea what parts of Android API are broken there. For all I know, item lists should work exactly the same: they are basic functionality.

Last question. How do i change controls? I remember on the previous android version i had options to select different views, input, etc. On this os version there is no way to change controls. Maybe its the screen layot on the fold because i feel i could resize my controls on my previous fold.

1) Slide action bar from the top

2) Click on three dots

3) Select "Settings" from the menu

4) Select "Input" tab

5) Select "Edit Virtual Joystick"

Input is completely missing. Weird right? I have settings in the options but nothing for input. I now remember the previous version had an icon that i can change the layout but version 4.9.8 is completely missing the icon or input settings. I think i may have found a bug haha. Sorry about that.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Fold device and thus cannot find out how they broke the Android APIs. They have clearly done something to tabbed views though, among other things, destroying backward compatibility in the process.

Darn thats a shame. Oh well, thanks anyways! And thank you for all that you do!

I used to have the original Galaxy Fold. Far as I can tell the
implementation of Android was exactly the same as on its sister phones the
Flip and S-20, both of which I do have.

Based on what I am seeing in terms of bugs reports, things went south starting with Android 15. And not just with Galaxy products, but with Pixels as well.

Is there a chance i can try 4.9.7 just for fun? I can show you proof that i legally purchased mastergear. Im attaching play store point history as proof.

Sorry, but only the latest version is available in Google Play. There are no other versions or distribution methods. For what it is worth though, the parts of the user interface you are having problems with have not changed between 4.9.7 and 4.9.8, or even between earlier versions.

Thanks anyways. If i get a regular slab phone id be curious if its the new android or the fold interface.
