In my previous guide I had strived to make it noob-proof,to cover almost every possible scenario. It seems all I ended up doing was to complicate it further. U know what they say abt the road to hell being paved with good intentions & all that…..
Anyways without further ado…
For the time being I will concentrate only on Bluestacks as its the only one that works with FC. Anyways operating Youwave is child’s play.
Rooted/cracked Bluestacks 0.9.6 (removed from official site): www.mediafire.com/download/y287bsy7zio4msg/Blue... abt 250MB .
It does not prompt for purchase nor does it download any apps on its own.
This is the software that will effect all the changes :http://www35.zippyshare.com/v/94607262/fil...ml
P.S. Dont mess around with the experimental features.
After every recharge
1.Run BS Tweaker as Administrator
2.Exit(Full Stop)BS*
3.Delete Data & SDCard Files(click OK on both)
4.Start BS
5.After it is completely launched,click to change GUID,Google Advertising ID & Android ID one after the other.
6.Exit(Full Stop)BS so that diff. values can be overwritten
7. Now Start BS & do ur stuff.
8. Rinse & repeat after every recharge.
Screenshots to illustrate the above steps:
Can anyone tell me how to change the installation folder(what to install any except C:) ?
There is no option while installing.
Or can I change the storage to other place so that only few MB need in C: drive and other apps/data will store in D:,E: etc ?
U cannot move Bluestacks installation folder to a drive other than the one in which ur OS is installed(Actually it can be done but its beyond me) . Bluestacks Data folders can be moved to a different drive tho. While installation it asks for the desired location. If u missed this step u can relocate it using BS Tweaker.

If saving space is ur primary concern then: Go to C:/Program Data/Bluestacks/Android (assuming u are on Windows 7 or later) Enable option to view hidden files & folders. Right click (one after the other) Root.fs Prebundled.fs Go to Advanced & click to enable “Compress contents to save disk space” (NTFS compression) . This should free up abt 400 MB space.
U can do this on the Data.sparsefs and SDCard.sparsefs folders as well but since u will be deleting and recreating them a lot does nt make sense.

I have Windows 7.
After installing Bluestacka C: become RED.

Bluestacks is nigh unbeatable when it comes to app compability. Whats the installed RAM capacity in ur system?
I have 4GB RAM.
Intel C2D 2.2GHz
Ati HD5670 512MB
Only problem C: drive lacks very very low space…

Since its C2D VT-X support is doubtful.(U can check on Intel ARK whether its supported or post the CPU model info here. Plus it needs to be enabled in ur BIOS as well) Which rules out Andy, Windroye & AMI Duos. Youwave does nt run apps with ARM native code dependency. Hence u are stuck with BS.
With 4GB RAM there is no need to hv the Page File. U could disable it altogether(some old app for ex Motoracer will complain abt lack of virtual memory. Not a big deal tho) or lower it to 512-1024 MB . Its abt 1-1.5 times ur installed RAM. So should save abt 4-6GB space. Plus u could set System Restore to only 5% of ur drive space against default 15% space.
Dr.. Can you please help how to create Goibibo account multiple using Bluestack or any other method.

VT-X is not supported http://ark.intel.com/products/30781/Intel-Core2... U are stuck with BS & YW. Android x86 takes even more space.
Either I have buy a new HDD or have to upgrade the system soon.
My PC quite old I guess…
One can save a little bit of time by setting the size of Data & SDCard folders to 1GB or lower in BS Tweaker. The default is 8GB. Would amount to appreciable savings for those who hv to reset BS scores of times daily! This will also save some space.
Its also possible to integrate apps to BS folders so that one need not install them after every reset. For instance ADAway or Puffin etc. By creating own custom files u will be able to minimise the time taken for BS reset. Also u can backup all ur BS data and restore them at will. If anybody is interested I will post the method here.
BTW Data.sparsefs corresponds to Internal Storage in Android and SDCard.sparsefs to USB Storage.
HoW to fix mcent error " we are sorry!you are not eligible for this offer..
What apps can be looted using this technique? It will be helpful for everyone if anyone can provide the list of working apps.

Really interested in this method..is it possible to also integrate gapps in backup so don’t have to install it everytime I reset BS
Bluestacks 0.9.17 prerooted 251MB http://bit.ly/1…OK (SuperUser version;works with all processors)
http://bit.ly/1…ts (SuperSU;does nt work with some AMD CPU’s;updated frequently;greater compatibility)
The latest Bluestacks can access 1.5GB RAM instead of the measly 0.85GB earlier versions were restricted to. This opens the door wide open to many apps esp. games that would refuse to run/choke due to insufficient RAM. The downside to this version is many apps like FB,Instagram,Viber etc no longer work. But their older versions do work.
^ To effect the above u need latest version of BS Tweaker (3.1.2) http://www88.zippyshare.com/v/Z42UOseL/fil…ml

Yes. But do note that if try Factory Reset option from within BS it wont work. After Factory Reset default Android ID & Google Advertising ID are restored. U need to change them using BS Tweaker or tweaking the Windows Registry.
ansu whenver i reset through BS any coupon not working again.
like get 10 in paytm.
i have samsung reward point coupon but didn’t know where is gmail i use for this coupon ?

My Samsung Reward app works fine in BS 0.9.11. I had posted it previously in this thread. Search for it. Regarding other coupons u must be making some mistake. If u cant follow a few simple steps then am afraid u are on ur own. Switch to Youwave. Its dead simple. Only drawback is it does nt play nice with Freecharge.
A few noteworthy features of Bluestacks 0.9.18:
build.prop has been cleaned up to remove all mentions of Bluestacks. This might result in some apps that had been blocked earlier working again. Already com2us is working in this release.
RAM is now 1856MB. In version prior to 0.9.17 it was 768MB(with a max. of 850MB). If u dont hv enough RAM u can set it lower in BS Tweaker.
No offline installer is available as of now.

Plus Xposed installation is a breeze, totally straightforward. No manual intervention at all. The devs hv woken up from their slumber!

Also apps like Instagram, FB Messenger , Viber etc that had been blacklisted in this release and the one prior to it can be run using a workaround. A bit involved but assures compatibility with the newer versions of the apps. Older versions ofc do work just fine.

Still no sign of offline installer. To prevent spontaneous app downloads in unrooted/uncracked official Bluestacks u can use BS Tweaker. In Experimental tab : temporarily/permanently disable purchase window. Until offline installer is available this is the nxt best option.

Prerooted BS already has GApps built in. Official BS 0.9.8 and onwards hv GApps built in as well. U only need to do this if for some reason u are using old official BS. @thementalist Anyhow I am hoping to put something together today.
