Freeflight 6 mod app - With Special Features

[JCamilo]

Thank you. It solved the problem.

I have done this operation a few times in the past. Today after installing FF6 on a new smartphone, I can't find the "com.parrot.freeflight6" folder, in OBB which is empty. Can you help?

What you need to do is to:

1. Download Freeflight 6 from the Play Store
2. Open the app and let it load (1-2 sec)
3. Download a file manager like Solid Explorer and grant all permissions it asks.
4. Go to your Internal Storage > Android > obb (it might ask for another permission, just click use this folder)
5. You'll see a folder named "com.parrot.freeflight6" which you need to rename to something else (eg: "com.parrot.freeflight5")
6. Then uninstall Freeflight 6
7. Download the modded version and install it, but DO NOT START
8. Go back to the file manager, and rename the folder to the original name, which is "com.parrot.freeflight6"
9. Start the modded version.

Can anyone help, or are Anafi matters closed?

Can you not copy the OBB file from your old device to your new phone?

Thanks for your help. No, I don't have it anymore. Where can I find this? The version I installed is freeflight 6, downloaded from Google Play, on November 18th of this year.

Você não consegue copiar o arquivo OBB do seu dispositivo antigo para o novo?

Obrigado pela ajuda. Não, não tenho mais. Onde posso encontrar isso? A versão que instalei é o freeflight 6, baixado do Google Play, em 18 de novembro deste ano.

Okay, it's resolved. It seems like the problem is old. I found this information (attached photo) and solved it. The problem was that the file explorer I used did not 'see', inside the folder OBB.

Sorry, the photo came out in Portuguese, what he says is that the fact is due to the prohibitions in the latest versions of Android, which do not allow you to see the OBB folder. Using the explorer 'Cx File Explorer' the contents of the folder appear.

Glad that you got it sorted.

Hi everyone, and many thanks to @AnafiPilot1 and @ds2atc for their work on these modded FF6. I just got a second hand Anafi because I found it to be the best fit for my use for this price. What I did not expect is that most software maintenance from Parrot would be over by now... So, I managed to install a FF6 normal version, then @AnafiPilot1's modded version, but what I really needed was the Flight Plan mode... And I even tried to buy it in the Android store... But after many search I understood that there was no hope to get it officially, and I did not found any unofficial way either. I tried Pix4D Capture, and went around the rectilinear 16MP limitation. Then I have been looking at Parrot's APIs, which looks great, but I do not have enough time and motivation to code something from scratch to use flight plans, and I also think it's much more convenient to load flight plans from the "regular" piloting app. Well, I finally got into this post:

In case I don't have time to modify or I sell or lose my Anafi, I will write down what I have done for modification here.

1. get apk
The best way to get an apk file is getting it from your device. There are many methods to do this. I use LG backup to get it.
or use apkmirror.com if you trust that site.

get the latest version(which you will modify) and the same version of original file of the latest modded version you can get.

also get the latest version of modded one here.

2. get apktool

From FF6 6.5.0 update, only apktool 2.4.0...

So thank to @ds2atc effort to summarize how he modded FF6, I found a simple way to unlock the Flight plan and Follow me modes. They are both natively included in the app, but just locked until you buy them. Since buying is not anymore possible in Android, I think that it is ok to share an unlocked version. There are a bunch of Anafis in good condition on the second-hand market, it would be a shame to throw them away because of a software problem. They can still be useful to anyone who cannot afford a brand new high-end professional drone. Sorry I'm digressing a bit

So, I made a modded version of @AnafiPilot1's modded version of FF6. For now, I only produced the FF6_6_7_6_SE_BATTERY mod, which I called FF6_6_7_6_SE_BATTERY_ADDONS. I'll make the FF6_6_7_6_FFC_BATTERY_ADDONS as quickly as possible. The apk is available on this drive:

FF6_MOD_ADDONS - Google Drive

drive.google.com

And I also added the necessary obb to install the app, because anyone getting an Anafi right now could be unable to install even the official version... (That was my case, luckily I found an xapk including the obb).

Hope this will help !

Salut et merci ça fonctionne !!!
Pourrais tu m'expliquer ou me faire un tuto comment tu as fait?
ça serait super sympas!

You're welcome ! However, I think I already gave many hints on how I did this, based on a detailed procedure already described by another member of the forum. If you have some coding skills and are curious enough I have no doubts that you will quickly find how to do this. If you don't, I am sorry but I will not make any tutorial for you because I do not have time for this, and although it does no prejudice to Parrot to unlock an addon that is no longer sold, it is borderline enough to avoid giving all the details.
