Freeflight 6 mod app

Hello Dave,Buy a cheap android device....
Hopefully you or others can help me, I’m trying to upload this modded app. My iPad and iPhone won’t upload the app correctly.
About the closest I’ve got is using an android phone with no internet provider, uploaded the modded app using McDonald’s WiFi, the app symbol shows on the cell phone, when I press it starts to open app goes through the opening app process then stops showing (Synchronization failed. Check your Internet connection). With a Settings button to press, press this settings button then it says (See available networks, turn on WiFi.)
Does the phone need a internet provider for this app to open? I’d like to try this modded app, sounds like a range improvement which I would like to use.
Appreciate the help,
Paul
Open Wi-Fi s are not so open as you think. a lot of ports are blocked.
Try it again, maybe with your Wi-Fi at home, where no rules are blocked your request.

Thank you Dave,
I’m a slow learner with phones and computers, I’ll try again later hopefully the modded app opens.
All the best,

As Dave has pointed out, these public WiFi areas have a tendency to block a lot of stuff, ie downloads in particular, as everyone would be filling their boots with porn or dodgy software, at McDonald s expense
Home WiFi is definitely better, but if its painfully slow the download of the additional file that FF6 gets (including the modded version), may struggle.
Once you install the application, Freeflight 6 will download an "obb" file, dont quote me, but I think that file on its own is over 100Mb.
Are you friendly with a good neighbour who has a good internet connection, who might let you hook up and do the sync?
Really hope you get it sorted, and get flying.

This from explaintion from both you and Dave helps me understand what may have gone wrong with my recent mod app download, I’ll delete the faulty mod app and start over again but from a source having no issues.
Appreciate this a lot, getting closer to having the modded app thanks to you and Dave.
I’ll keep you guys posted when the modded app is successfully downloaded.
Thanks again,
Paul
Hello Anafi users,
Is it possible to upload the modded app to an iPhone? Is there a modded iPhone app? All I’m seeing is a modded Android app.
Since my iPhone is connected to an internet provider, would be easier for me go with the iPhone.

No, there is only the modded Android FF6 app.
If you want to use FCC mode on iOS you have to use fake GPS like described in this thread:

I have tried to gather working options for Fake GPS from the forums posts. If you guys have anything to add or remove please let me know so I can update it. If you are having troubles with Fake GPS please start a separate thread of the problem. To get the fastest answer and possible solution do...

Appreciate the information and you posting the video, I’ll go over the video on my iPad later in the day it’s faster than my iPhone.
Already the Anafi by itself, with no mods is a good drone. But, I’m always looking for ways to enhance video feed in areas with inference or distance.
Been flying the Bebop 2 with Solaris mods for a while and it’s a great 2 mile drone with the boosted mod, has terrific reception even at low level. The Anafi has great potential, I’d like to enhance video feed when it’s out there far beyond its standard range or in areas with a lot of inference.
And if this Anafi modded app works, great but it I can’t get the modded app to work properly that’s ok too. At least I tried, my current Anafi controller setup is good has another antenna setup which does enhance reception.
Thanks again for the help, I’ll eventually learn and understand more in the future using the Anafi. The Anafi is a nice addition to my modded Bebop 2 and Mavic 2 Pro.
All the best,
Paul

Yes, the Anafi has a good potential!
Solaris also made a booster kit for Anafi:
Hello Dirk?Yes, the Anafi has a good potential!
Solaris also made a booster kit for Anafi:
Yes indeed, Anafi has potential. And good news, I ordered the Skycontroller 3 mod from Solaris last week.
I’m looking forward to using the Sky controller 3 booster mod of Solaris, we are very fortunate this mod is available.
Thanks again Dirk for helping out, you’re a great contributor to the forum.

Thanks Paul,
do you plan to show us a test here about this booster kit (mounting, experience)?
I would be very interested...

Yes, Gladly I’ll show the Skycontroller 3 booster Mod results and installation. I just need to upload the strip
Hello Dirk,Thanks Paul,

Yes, Gladly I’ll show the Skycontroller 3 booster Mod results and installation. I just need to upload the script to the SC3 firmware to patch the parameters, otherwise the mod won’t get full potential.
I’ll need to visit a family member to use their computer to upload the script, then I’m set. Later in near future, plan on getting a Mac computer soon to benefit using the other mod features. Very excited about this Skycontroller 3 Solaris mod, video feed should be terrific 2-3 Miles.
Thanks Dirk!

Thks for your big contribution for many of us.I was able to modify autopilot.cfg's altitude value I mentioned above, but it was reset to 150 whenever I changed the max altitude value on freeflight6.
So, my conclusion is that it is impossible to change the drone's max altitude range before Parrot discloses Anafi's firmware sources.
Before giving up the things, something popped up in my mind, and I tried that...
and it was success.
Here's the easiest workaround for flying beyond the max altitude limit.
FF6_6.5.1_FCC&ALT_MOD.apk
drive.google.com
I modified groundsdk's geofence code, and the max altitude range value will be always 0.5~500 with this mod.
Just go to Touch&fly, set a position, select start, and use the slide to change the altitude.
I tested this only with the virtual environment, which is Sphinx, and RTH worked properly.
but I am not sure with the physical drone... so test yours before go up higher.
and maximum altitude range is set to 500. I don't think you will need higher than that.
When you download the original app from Play Store, it downloads an obb file, which contains firmware files of your drone and controller, during installation. However if you install an apk file outside Play Store, the app will download the obb file from somewhere in the initial startup, and Parrot used the word "synchronization" for this progress.
651obb.zip
This is the obb file. Download and unzip this on your phone's sdcard root directory.

I had a similar situation many moons ago when the first modded application came out. If I explain a little background first, it might help.
I have what I call my full time Google account, I also have another which I use for "Drone Work" as I like to keep them separate.
So on my tablet, it was configured with my drone account. Installed the application, and then went to purchase the add-on's. I got the error message displayed in post #288.
It transpires that when you hack the application, and then piece it back together with the modifications, and compile it into a .APK file, there is some store code that picks up that its not been signed with the original certificate (or similar), and that stops the "Store side" of the app working.
In my case, I just reverted to using my standard account on the tablet, which is the account I originally purchased the add-on's with. Soon as I put it on the tablet and signed in with the same account I purchased with, I was able to see the add-on's with the "Purchased" notification.
so it means you cannot "Purchase" the add-on's from the modded app. As I said, this was in the early days, I dont know if its still the same case. Easiest way to test:
Generate new Google Account
Clean wipe tablet/phone and sign into Google with the new account
Installed the modified FF6 application and run
Select to Purchase the add-on's
If same applies, you should get the same failure message as post #288

Thank you for the very good mod. but I did several ways all day but I can not use this mod for the error said "There is a problem parsing the package" when installing version of 6.5test or later. you can not do anything during development?
And, i can not use even in also earlier versions for synchronization problem. Could you tell me the port number it use? Perhaps i can use it on my router.
