Add presets on Android without rooting

[thepicklecatxo116]

Hi I downloaded ProjectM through the play store and upgraded to the 4 dollar version. I was curious and checked this website and saw there was a download link for 40k presets(which I've already downloaded) and I was wondering if there's anyway to add them. I know I could if I were to root my phone but I have a weird version of android that has alot more steps then just pressing a few buttons and I don't want to risk briking my phone for it. I've checked as deep in my files as I can and I can't gain access to the presets folder. Would you happen to know if there's a work-around or a way to gain access to the folder?

Yeah. You can see your presets that you have on storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.psperl.projectM/files/presets_dir

In Android 11+, we can't access Android-Data and Android-Obb Folder, we can only had Access to Android-Media Folder.

Is there any workaround, suc-as make application data using Android-Media or Any Folder instead restricted only in Android-Data Folder?

Try using FV File Explorer. This will grant you to access the data folder and OBS folder with the built-in one or with Shizuku.

Will it work for you?

Trying your suggestions and it works!

Thankyou very much.

By the way, can dev team make preset dir to be on any folder or any specific 'special folder', eg. Downloads-preset_dir instead in Android-Data folder?

Since we're not developing the Android app, you should direct this request to the actual app author. You can find his email in the Play Store.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't read it on the front page.

Thankyou very much for quick response.

I've tried using FV File Manager and it works well.

But, since I'm using it, my phone had a kind of 'bugs'.

My File Manager + can't 'detect' any photos/images and videos. So did my PowerAmp, it can't save AlbumArt and even gives missing already downloaded AlbumArts.

So I uninstalled FV and I'm using another File Manager that supports iAdb 'internally', ES Explorer, but unfortunately it isn't on google playstore, so I'm using it with my own risk.

There is another 'work around', using EX File Manager, Install iAdb apk from Play Store. It was almost flawless, no 'bugs' such as happened with FV, but I should 'reconnect' and start iAdb service everytime I restarted my phone, and it was almost a tiresome.

So I'm using ES Explorer when I need access to android-data, and when I'm done, I uninstalled ES just in case in order for having safety 'back'.
