My Realme 7 has a notification which reads:
"New system version downloaded. Install now!
RMX2155_11_A.78"
Where is it located within the filesystem?
Is it somewhere I can copy from on an unrooted device?
I'm assuming Magisk can use this to get it's 'boot.img' file & others may be interested in a copy too.
@alanthehat THREAD CLOSED as you've already created a similar one minutes ago:
I have a 'system upgrade', where is it?

Hey everyone.
I'm developing an android application in java, and I'm pretty familiar with all that stuff, but now it's the first time when I need to use SU permissions.
The goal is to move some file from /system/ directory to SD, I tried to use renameTo method from File class, but it returns 0 (FALSE), which means that some error occured.
I also noticed that there was no Superuser app prompt, asking to confirm granting superuser permissions.
So, how do I replace files from /system/? Shall I use the same method but with some additions in manifest? Or is there any other way?
I already searched xda, googled for it, but I can't find any useful information. I also checked Android Superuser website and I didn't find any documentation or something like this.
Thanks in advance!
UPD: Found a solution http://www.stealthcopter.com/blog/2010/01/android-requesting-root-access-in-your-app/
thanks to stackoverflow

Why are the two lists not the same? Can they be made the same?
As usual, if my attempt at searching was poorly done (I found only a recommendation for a download, no explanations) feel free to point me to an existing thread.
yeah u can
Apparently I should have been clearer: if it can be done, how do you do it?
sprry but I do not understand what you are trying to achieve. like, you want blahblah.ogg or whatever to be your ringtone and your incoming gmail/sms/notification at the same time?
Ringtones are stored in system/media/audio/ringtones
Notifications are stored in system/media/audio/notifications
Just copy the ones that you want to the location that you want and reboot. It should be able to be selected after it comes back up.
FYI- If you are adding new audio, make sure it has the correct permissions or else it will not show up in the list.

I'm assuming I need superuser rights to move them around.

That is correct. Root is required, with a file explorer, or you can make a zip file to flash.
You can also place them under
<sdcard>\ringtones or
<sdcard>\media\ringtones
I cant remember which, it supports like ogg/wav/mp4 or so, it's the standard way for android I believe
I keep forgetting about the media folder on the SD card.
Thanks for the update. It does makes sense to use the SD Card location so it doesn't get overwritten every time you flash a new ROM.

Hello.
I have patched an app. The app resists to run since the app's signature is now changed.
How can I spoof the app's signature to make the app itself think that it's genuine and signed with the developer's signature?
Can I make this effect system-wide, so all apps that try to retrieve the app's signature actually gets spoofed signature?
Is there any XPosed/Magisk module that will allow me do to that?
I also saw the CorePatch XPosed module. The description says:
Code:
allow downgrade application [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
allows direct install apps after modify file in apk [ignore invalid digest error etc..]
allow overlay install apps with inconsistent signatures
Does it mean that it will allow me to install an apk with an invalid signature? For example if I somehow could copy the signature from the genuine APK to the patched APK despite the fact that the signature will not be valid.
If it does, then how can I copy the signature from the original APK to the patched APK?

I am trying to do this very trivial task, but I cannot find any complete instructions on how to do it.
So far, I gathered that
APK is just an archive that files can be added to using aapt add MyApp.apk file1 file2 ...
Or the files must be added to the assets folder
The APK must be less than 100mb to be allowed on the APP store
The files must be signed
The problem is that I am finding these one-line answers in Stack Overflow questions, and not in any official instructions from Android Studio developers, and they leave a lot of necessary steps out. Which I have to guess, like where to put the files, where are they getting stored on the device. If adding files to the assets folder, I need to know Which assets folder? app/build/intermediate? Do I need to add something to Gradle scripts? Are there any other steps?
This is a very basic thing that probably every android app needs to do, and I am baffled that there is not an option or support in the IDE to import and sign the files being used by the application.
So far I had to resort to manually uploading these files (YOLO ONNX models, label text files, test images, etc) to my phone and the emulator for testing.
I am looking for some clear and concise step by step instructions to how someone can add something like a text or image file to their APK, sign it, and make it deploy to the phone or emulator automatically when building, running, or debugging the app.
Can someone please help point me to such a resource?
Thank you,
