app cloner - useful app I use

[b0bby1985]

I've recently upgraded to a LG v20 (snapdragon 820) and I'm amazed how far dolphin has come on Android. Last time I tried it was like a slideshow on my Galaxy s4.

I thought I'd share an app I've been using from the play store called app cloner.
I have many versions of dolphin on my phone. I use 1650 for double dash/resident evil 4, 4335 for Metroid prime, 5630 for wind waker etc.

I use Nova launcher to edit the name of the app to remind me what version works best and in brackets what clock speed I think works best.
If you decide to use this app make sure you backup important save states just in case something goes wrong. Some versions share save states but I haven't figured which yet.

App data is stored data/data for each clone but they share the same settings data which is a shame. So you have to change the settings for each one for the game you want to play.

Only problem I've encountered is with disable fog option. I had to disable it from one version so I could get to the enhancements options on another version.

If anyone would like to share some versions and clock speed work best for them I'd appreciate it thanks.

Games I'm trying to play:

Double dash
Wind waker
Re 4
F zero gx (could only get to work with cached interpreter)
Hit and run
Metroid prime
Crash nitro kart
Ssx 3
Kirby air ride
Super Mario sunshine
Code Veronica x (unplayable with versions I've tried - graphical glitches)

You can use Lucky Patcher to clone apk and APK Editor to change the name. I used it to have two PPSSPP versions on my phone.

Wow, that's a cool feature. Are running a custom rom on your V20?

Never tried cloning apps with lucky patcher. 

Yeah got a few roms on my phone using dual boot patcher. Mainly using ressurection remix. Desolation is good too. Stock rom throttled too much. 
Had to flash the vulkan updated drivers off xda too.
Double dash is running 50 +ish  sometimes a little less and Re4 running 30 fps. Quite happy with that.
Still experimenting because I'm new to dolphin. 
What phone have you got?

It's simple, touch over the app you want to clone, select tools then the first option, clone app.

I'm still firmly in the budget class with my Motorola Moto E4(US version with the SD 425).  I love it's stock android interface and it works well all of the emulators I use(except dolphin of course ).  In fact, I upgraded to it from LG's Aristo(Tmobile/MetroPCS exclusive) because I found LG's software was too aggressive with thermal throttling.  So, it looks like it's an issue with LG's android 7.0 devices as its 6.0 devices don't seem to have it.

It's a shame though, I've always liked LG's design language and software interface.
