Ahoy!

I got a new phone yesterday. I also use a wheelchair. The wheels have an app called "e-motion M25" which I used on my old phone. I patched it using lucky patcher since most functions (turn wheels on, cruise control, remote to drive the wheelchair to my current chair) are behind an incredible expensive paywall.

Since I don't own the wheels (they're technically still insurance property) and the software isn't super reliable, I won't pay over €300 just to use my wheels.

But I can't seem to patch it on my new phone, even when sharing the patched app directly from my old one. The store simply won't open. I've not been rooted since forever and prefer not to root at all, since it was possible to do so on my old phone.

Would anybody care to help me out or give me some tips on where to look? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE after spending my entire morning on the floor, I installed older versions of the app until I found one that worked with luckypatcher. I know it's a small chance but if someone using the same wheels finds this post, you have to figure out how to download luckypatcher and use this version of the app. In lucky patcher create a multi patch APK and make sure to turn off "billing" in the second screen. When opening the store, be careful not to scroll to the complete bottom or else the app wil crash. Buy each pack individually and lucky patcher will handle things from there.

To every commenter: thank you. Lemmings are the best and capitalism is the devil.

I don't know shit about it and should probably keep my mouth shut but i am gonna say this maybe one of the few instances you should pay up ? And thats coming from someone who pirates everything . I could be wrong tho

EDIT : As i said i could be wrong i just don't want OP's bootleg software to have a breakdown in the middle of the road.

Adding additional financial hurdles on people with disabilities is, in the least aggressive phrasing, "not a vibe".

In turbocapitalist circles, we prefer to describe this as a "strong economic incentive to become unshackled from your disabilities", but I guess it's a question of optimism

And if I pay I still dont own it, that's the messed up part. I get what you're saying though and I appreciate your concern, however I've been using the bootleg software for years on my other phone without any problems so it should be possible.

Yeah if you are sure go for it . I just didn't wanna get you into shit or doing what internet strangers told you to do but if you are SURE go for it i say.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

[-] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 8 points 7 months ago

Yea thats what i meant i thought it was obvious but obviously not

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in "burn the bootlicker" mode. You make a valid consideration.
