INSTALL.TXT in intraplates.com/scientific_apks ********************************************** ADDED INFO OCTOBER 8, 2021: Good news! In the present versions of Android, there is an improvement of significance when it comes to importing and exporting files when using the graphical G15 PMN w/mousesim at Android. As you perhaps know, it takes a device that is 'rooted' to get into many file areas and such a device doesn't run most highly security oriented apps. The new g15pmn.apk handles this the following way: In the download area on your Android phone, get the norskesites.org/neong15pmn.zip package and unzip it eg with 7zipper or with Termux text command. This will create the subfolder neong15pmn there. This is the subfolder that is now being used by the G15 PMN w/mousesim for ALL file access, reading, writing, creating files, etc. In order to do this effortlessly we have not taken any files away from the g15pmn.apk, meaning that it will be a bit double-up of storage place required but the good thing is that we have backups implictly in the system. However the mnt #1 command assumes continous data base access to the files and the download shared files in Android don't provide such continous access; the mounting must happen by means of adequate RENAMING. See the SETUP text for Ann programming language, app #1000400, at g15pmn.com, for a detailed description of how to mount and unmount with this new g15pmn.apk. Good luck! ********************************************* This is how to install this Android G15 PMN with what we call 'mousesim': g15pmn.apk See the text file 'setup.txt' for other apk's in the collection of apk's at intraplates.com. On the net you will find instructions as how to install programs for Android from 'unknown sources'. You might for instance use a browser like Edge, which does things much better--eg opening Adobe apps, and saving files-- than the Chromium on which it is based. In Settings, search up 'install', and figure out how to enable the browser you use to allow installation of new programs. Once that is done, you select 'open' and confirm that it is okay to install this program. It should install with ease, and require Storage permission to start. This g15pmn.apk does only local disk read/write in its own local folder, does not access net or phone or camera or microphone. As long as it is the original g15pmn.apk it ought to be one of the safest apps in existence. It can allow you to run G15 PMN apps that may have a content in terms of images and/or texts that isn't totally kosher in all contexts, but the same can be said of any text or image editor :) This is a full G15 PMN except that instead of mouse it assumes a full keyboard that you use to simulate the mouse. It installs on such as Android 9 and newer, as tested in 2021, when it was completed. The emulated mouse leaves a trace meaning that it is easy to find on the screen. The trace is removed only when there is a screen refresh called from the G15 PMN program or such. It is a tall slim rectangle, which has a glitter effect when it is active. There are a couple of quaint features, naturally, but it seems that it works pretty perfectly with all import and export of apps, third foundation, even the Texas Game can be performed to some extent with the mousesim mode. One feature to look out for is that the mouse clicks are stacking up like keyboard clicks--and they may also stay on after the mouse mode has exited, which may have an effect in some contexts although usually it has no effect that is an issue. Here is the type of hardware you want: a big keyboard with F1 to F12, INS, DEL, PgUp etc. You want a powerful Android mobile phone, or, to better read a text like this, a device larger than a pocket phone. A bluetooth keyboard is usually inexpensive and works really well with Android. This text is written on G15 PMN on an Android Samsung phone, using a bluetooth keyboard with B9edit. What you want to do to use the mouse is this: Del button toggles mouse-simulation on off. The mouse is a vibrating long rectangle, standing. It moves when there is a G15 PMN program which accepts mouse-input. You use arrows in the mouse-mode. You can use PgUp and PgDn, and button "Home" and button "End" to move faster than arrows. You can click with Enter and with Spacebar, right-click with Backspace and Tabulator. The difference is that such as Enter leaves the mode after one click, while with Space it stays in the mode and you can exit it eg by another click on the Del-button. In the mousesim mode you can press X C for ctr-c. Only the characters that do not have a function in the mouse mode will go through. You can click a digit or 0 or - or = for F1 to F12, these are beside one another on the US keyboard layout, which is presumed in all G15 PMN work. To get ctr-F1, you can press M 1. To get alt-F1 you can press A 1. To get ESC-button effect inside G15 PMN programs, press the Del button followed by the letter Z. See note elsewhere in this text about caution with the ESC button on the keyboard, as it may be one of the buttons used by the surrounding platform. In Android, there are functions associated with some keys, such as ESC, which can affect an app running in Android strongly. A press on ESC inside G15 PMN in the present form of Android will usually result in a restart of G15 PMN when it is next opened. This means that one must learn which keys to watch out for when creating a file, and save often, take backup often. Some apps will work better on Android than others; and some apps will work better with a mousesim mode than others. By tilting the screen on a tall phone you will usually get a somewhat enlarged screen, but the B9font, in its natural resolution, will be so small that it is underneath the most obviously pleasurable threshold of size to use it for reading, although it is perfectly easy to write with. As said, all this text has been written using B9edit on a phone. The particular keyboard I now use is a bluetooth keyboard called Deltaco, but I believe that any keyboard made for a variety of computers and platforms will work well. The location of the folder where you unzip G15 PMN apps, and fetch the text files and data files that you export, can be something like this: Android > data > com.g15pmn > files Underneath the 'files' you usually find the folder 'resources'. You should experiment a little bit to get the knack of all this, but the rule of thumb is that the G15 PMN apps, and any input files, and any active database .g15 files, should be in 'resources', while the files you export eg from B9edit come in the 'files' folder. You will see in 'resources' residue files of imagined expansions of G15 PMN with its own virtual keyboard, and other settings. We let them in there but that's just on a leisurely note; you can probably ignore all those extra config files completely and absolutely. The Bluetooth big keyboard solution solved everything much more beautifully. It is natural to get to use a really advanced Android file manager which also unzips with ease, and navigates across the whole disk with ease. Without having done a profound check on the file manager app 7Zipper, I have a sense that it is something along the lines one should learn to master to be adept at Android, which includes G15 PMN programming activities, FCM robotics and what not. Please be aware that the mousesim mode has a lot of possibilities for expansion in case that should be called for in order to accomodate some hardware expansions of G15 PMN on Android; which means it may be a good idea to avoid typing in normal things while in the mousesim mode: already, the digits, the A, M and X characters are in use there; but there may be more in related versions, possibly.
