Tested it. This mod starts without crashes and working properly on my devices: Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G phone and CHUWI HiPad Max tablet.

Still lack a thing what I expected - drag'n'drop by external physical mouse. But 3.1.1 got at least one important fix: long tap on Android "Back" button (triange) now always calls out lBochs "Settings" menu - so now You may use Your favorite on-screen keyboard, not only internal "PC Keyboard", without the risk of losing access to the emulator settings.
Thank You again for this excellent mod of valuable Android tool! :tumbsup:

Yeah it's really nice. Was not easy to mod, took about 4 hours of grinding through ARM assembly code and decompiled C pseudocode in Ghidra after failing to fix it with dex modifications, then came the hex editor part of the whole mess where I had to patch 3 instructions in all 5 emulation architecture binaries and test the app startup when set to each CPU architecture. I also have an unreleased 32-bit only version of an old version that was 32+64 in one APK, which I made so I could use it on the one 32-bit device I have. This older version actually had better native ARM protection so it required patching both the dex and all 5 libraries but it also worked on the first try like this released ARMv8 64-bit version. I use this emulator for situations where Limbo is not ideal (some low end devices, anything newer than WinXP with the exception of some versions of 8/8.1, etc...), or if I want some functionality Limbo doesn't have.

Thanks for this mod. It's too strange, that developer used DRM for free app without any paid content.
Completely confused too. Especially there are a sources lives in /Android/data/lb.myapp.lbochs/files/bochs_src.tgz, and the developer claims that there are also his own code included.

I don't understand, why he made it?
Perhaps DRM was made not by developer, but by Android development tool or by Google Play. Just my guesses - I am more system administrator than programmer.

hello everyone and author of modification! I want to download a APK of this mod on emulator, but I can't, since the first link leads to 404 not found (most likely due to the closure of anonfiles), and the second link, which is presented as a mirror, gives the text with "File deleted"
can you re-upload to Google Drive, or to another conditional file sharing service, or in general here?
thanks in advance

Help, does anyone have a backup of this? I can’t install it directly on my phone. Google says my phone’s Android version is not compatible with this app.
