Nope the config file support was removed.
Also on the repo the latest patches for version 14 (noSecNeo version -> read the readme on github) was added.

Here i have a mod upload for you with:
-enable Cache control
-FCC Unlock
-Spark Unlock( Mavic modes + Channel unlock)
-Online mode is enabled !
Fly always Safely
Please remove the link in your post! I do not want to share copyright material here, this is illegal. Also the intention of the patcher is that anyone can build the patched files themselves, so noone can include malware into a pre-build file.
Thank you.

It is instant if not you most likely doesn't run it as admin.

Make sure you start first the controller and connect the app, after that start the drone! If you use a different order the drone will start with the last known tx power, which is CE for you :-)

On the github repo there are patches for 4.1.8!

Me neither, the Windows App is not from me, i removed it for now and assigned the issue to the creator.

That was my fault. In the bat and sh script the APK version gets selected automatically for the windows app: resynchronize now I fixed the error!

2.5km is a lot though probably not very useful on a daily basis since you probably have barely enough to get back!I top out at 1.5k which is fine.
Don't get the region warning oddly enough, maybe the FCC patch that I never removed works now!
Yeah the range is not very useul that's right ? but it's interesting to test though. I get to 2km and back very good on one battery But if there would be strong winds you will get a problem getting home, so I did not have enough courage to fly further away.

Did not look into this yet. Maybe ask in the slack channel. I think there were some posts regarding this.

Hm Strange indeed but good for you ?
It is known that they have several folders in the root of your sdcard. They contain tmp files and config files etc. So when switching between modded and unmodded versions this behaviour was reported to happen if you do not remove the folders prior install of the official app.
Why you don't get the video cache switch is kind of strange to me, should work.

Sorry, updated the link!

Very odd, maybe better come on slack to chat directly. For today i have to go now. But on slack are many people who might be able to help and willing to. We discuss this apk in #android_apk_patching channel.
Here is the slack link again for everyone:

I updated the GUI, so feel free to run whatever you want :D
The cmdline is the batch file, yes. Just double click it to run (run as admin) but as i said i recompiled the patcher app and moved it to the main-folder so it can work with the new patches ;)
Best Regards

Yes you have to rebuild the app. You can keep track of new patches on the github repo, you can see if something was added pretty easy, also i did a version bump to make it easy to see that there is something new.
The Windows GUI app is not from me, it just happens to be in the repo, i don't think it was updated to include the new patch already, better use the cmdline to be sure ;)

Currently, I have modified a 4.1.5 version using your windows GUI app. And it works, but im not sure how efficient it is. As its not as good as my 4.1.3 modified version in terms of range, without glitchiness in the video
The 4.1.3 version will get 2kms easy without glitching using OTG
the 4.1.5 version will glitch randomly but still get a decent range, like 1.4kms or something.
One other question, when switching from a modified version to a stock version of the app, i cant get the app to warn me about changing areas and restarting wifi. It just seems to either get long distance with the modded app and short distance with the stock app.
Is there a better way of finding out if its currently on FCC or CE through the app? Both the modded and stock versions show 13 channels in 2.4, but theres a definite range difference. So far thats the only way ive been able to tell.
You cannot check it on 4.1.5 since they removed the hidden dialog, only with this channels, this would be an indicator yes.
I only use 4.13 with my spark and get the same range as you ~2km. Never tested it on 4.1.5 though
Also we added a new patch for 4.1.3, this will enable the "Video Cache"-switch also for spark, so you can disable the video caching which increases the app performance for some people and reduces the app crashes :-)
Best Regards

Yes it could be done, but i prefer to wait, since i hope they will release the version with the "offline mode" they announced. I know for spark users (like myself) 4.1.5 has some new features, but my time is currently extreme limited, and they release new versions (even with the same version number but other versionCode) very often. So if there is not version bump in the next week i will port patches to 4.1.5 and release them.

Wow what an idiotic post! Are you having a bad day or something? I'm not even going to waste my time commenting since you dug out an old post to go on that little rant without even bothering to read the related follow-up messages.
Anyway back on topic, happy to report that with the latest Android updates the little Spark is performing well and I've been racing motorboats, tons of fun! More battery life like on the Mavic wouldn't hurt of course but you can't have everything. The DJI app does seem to be a little less snappy for some reason but at least there haven't been any crashes.
No ranting at all, i just said that you should not generalize. Please explain me why my post is idiotic? I read the follow up messages, by you guys and i just wanted to explain whats going on, so whats idiotic there?
EDIT:
Here is one of your follow up posts:
On 14.8.2017 at 10:47 AM, oakman said:Even without the patch you can switch to 2.4 (connect over wifi first then OTG), the question is why you'd want to do it given the significant loss in quality and marginal theoretical increase in range (with FCC power).
What does it change in comparision to your old post? You still say there is a loss in quality, which is not true in genreal. that is why i said please do not generalize, this is no rant at all! The loss in quality will only happen if you have too much wifi noise! And why should the increase in range be theoretical?
So, no rant from me, i just want to correct this incorrect statements.
This are the measured tx power levels from user triangular on slack:
Mavic: 2.4GHz FCC:<=26 dBm; CE: <=20 dBm; SRRC:<=20 dBm; MIC:<=18 dBm 5.2 GHz FCC:<=23 dBm 5.8 GHz FCC:<=23 dBm; CE <=13 dBm; SRRC: <=23 dBm; MIC: - Spark: 2.4 GHz FCC: 25 dBm; CE: 18 dBm; SRRC: 18 dBm; MIC:18 dBm 5.8 GHz FCC: 27 dBm; CE: 14 dBm; SRRC: 27 dBm; MIC: -As we can see Spark 2.4G vs 5G on FCC has 2dB power difference -> lets say it would be 3dB more power to make math easier. This would mean power is doubled.
Let's calculate the free space loss on 1km.
2400 Mhz: 100 dB
5000Mhz: 106.4 dB
That means the free space loss is ~4 times higher on 5G than on 2.4G. Which makes the impact here as we only transmit with 2 times higher power on 5G.
Maybe i did an error here, if so please correct me.
Best Regards

Good to hear but why do you set manually to 2.4Ghz (by default the RC connects over 5.8Ghz) ?
Video feed is lower quality though (tearing and laggy), I prefer 5.8Ghz ! Will test at the end of the week how effective the FCC patch is (I had only flown my Spark in the USA until now).
I know this was posted some days ago, but i wanted to comment anyway.
Just not true. Did you really test in different occasions, a general statement like this is very bad.
If there are many 2.4Ghz Wifis in the area this might be true, but it might be exactly the opposite if you have many 5.8Ghz in the area. Do you really think 2.4Ghz is not able to transfer enough data for a decent videostream? If this would be the case every home wifi would not be able to stream videos if you are using it on 2.4Ghz, which is clearly not the case.
So please people stop using general terms. I use 2.4Ghz on a regular base and i never had any tearin and lagging issues, on the contrary on 5.8Ghz i get the far worse videostream and cannot fly away much further than 100 meters before loosing video at all ...
2.4 and 5.8 are both perfectly capable of transmitting the videostream of the spark in the best possible quality without quality issues, it just depends on your envoirment (a BT watch MIGHTbe enough to cause problems on 2.4Ghz!).
Only thing which is true in general is that 2.4G has a much better penetration depth than 5G, or said different a higher frequency is being damped more. So in general 2.4G can reach much longer distances and can better go through walls / trees etc. and 2.4G with the same power!
I personally would always choose 2.4G instead of 5G, only thing better on 5G is the bandwidth, but the bandwidth on 2.4G is by far sufficient enough for everything which gets transmitted by the drone, there is absolutely no need for more bandwidth than 2.4G can give you. Only reason to switch to 5G is when the 2.4G band is too much polluted, on every other case you should choose 2.4G.

Everything here is Appside, it works independent of firmware! "Only" redherring exploit is "kinda" closed with 500fw. If you don't need root it's no problem for you, and since you needed to ask you problably don't need root anyway ;) .
App 414 is still WIP, not all patches are ported yet, i would stay on 4.1.3 for a week or so if i were you until all patches (most important offlinelogin and removeOnline) are ported fully.

Hey,
yes it is possible that there is still some communications left, also we did left inside communications for Adobe,Here Maps and stuff like this. This patch aims at DJI server communication not onlineComms at all. We should update the description.

Regarding the google maps thing everyone asks about. i want to corect my earilier statement, there is still google maps api support in the current version BUT we canot use it here is why:
reason is simple, the google maps APIkey is derived from your signature which is used to sign the apk you want the APIkey for. so unless we get the private key to sign the apk with the same key which was offically used by the manufacturer does we cannot access their google apikey once we modify the apk and resign it. currently we use the testkey to resign, only way to make google maps work is to use the private apikey from the manufcaturer! hope that clarifies the problem.Sure another approach would be if one would stepup and pay for the service, so we can add our own apikey and sign with a proper cert of ourselves. But i don't think this will happen, so get used to Here ;)

good news, latest patch on github:
this will activate the WIFI channel selection if you use an OTG cable on the Spark RC. Sadly i was not able to activate the wifi scanning yet (so you cannot see which band is best to use), so any contributions to this are VERY welcome :)

The error may be cosmetic, it does do the patch, it just doesn't delete the leftover .orig file. A mystery indeed!
v21 looking great! I fixed the unknown.patch call errors in runme.bat, sorry I am brand new at using github don't know what the proper procedure is yet.
Nice :-) You could open a pull request at my repo and then i can merge it.

read the readme, you need a special version starting from 4.1.14, version from apkmirror won't work.
