[1] What is this guide for?

This is to help to create a copy or cloned version of Pgsharp app. This will allow you to install Pokemon Go from the Google Play Store and have cloned Pgsharp on your device at the same time.

Pgsharp is a modified version of Pokemon Go from the Google Play Store. Without cloning, you can only have one version installed. If you install the official app from the Google Play Store, you cannot install Pgsharp. The same goes for the other way, if you install Pgsharp, the Google Play Store will see you already have Pokemon Go installed.

[2] What does not work in the cloned Pgsharp? - December 27, 2021 Update

  1. NO VIRTUAL GO PLUS SUPPORT because the cloned app does not have access to bluetooth and you cannot pair your own Go Plus, Pokeball Plus, or whatever Gotcha device.
  2. NO Facebook & Google account logins with an external browser. This means you can only use a PTC account to play with.
  3. No Adventure Sync support. This also does not work in the non-cloned version.
  4. POKEMON FEED does not work in the cloned Pgsharp.
  5. Cannot buy Poke coins through the cloned and non-cloned version of Pgsharp.

[3] Other things you must know!

  1. You must repeat this whole entire process when you want to update your cloned Pgsharp.
  2. Cloned Pgsharp is more likely to suddenly crash or freeze.
  3. You can use other cloning apps, but you are responsible for figuring out how to use it.

[4] What you need

  • Main app: https://appcloner.app/
  • App Cloner Premium & Add-ons by App Listo from Google Play Store.
    • You need to download both the main app and premium add-on.
    • Open the premium add on and upgrade to premium subscription. It's $5 for 1 year. Then, you buy how many clones you think you will need. Do not buy any of other adds-on because you don't need them.
  • pgsX.XX.XX_whatever.apk from www.PGSHARP.com

>>> >>> Instructions to clone PGSharp <<< <<<

STEP 1: Export your PGSharp profile because this contains your paid key, favorites, feeds, and saved GPX routes because you must uninstall PGSharp.

STEP 2: Install AppCloner-2.13.1-21122021.apk (or whatever is the latest version) from your Download Folder in your Internal Storage and install "App Cloner Premium & Add-ons" from the Google Play Store.

  • Press on "settings" > press on "allow from this source" > press the back button.

STEP 10: Press on Install.

STEP 11: At the bottom, you will see "Successfully installed Pokemon GO" or whatever you renamed it.

I'm currently trying to get this up and running so I can get a crack at a 2nd account with PGS and still have my main on same phone.

However neither of the two versions of PGSharp available I seem to be able to get to work.

I first tried with the ' Beta Version: 1.28.12(0.215.1-G) ' and that wouldn't load at all after cloning it (works fine without cloning). Then I thought, hey might try the stable version, cause who knows :D ' Latest Version: 1.28.0 ' - this gets me a little bit further, I'm able to enter my Trainer login information but then I'm stuck on an endless login animation till the app evetually crashes.

​

Is this a known issue with the latest versions of PGSharp? They were released after this post was made I can see now.

I'm on a OnePlus running Android 10.

Pgsharp apps are buggy right now, so you have to wait for the next game update then Pgsharp provides a new update.

Everyone has to wait for Pgsharp to fix their app first.

What is "DL"?

I'm not an Android coder, so I don't know anything related to the subject.

What you're saying is, it's a PGSharp version of the Samsung Pokemon Go app that is 100% free and comes with all or most of the features and doesn't connect through Pgsharp's servers?

axelslash01•

DL = Down Low haha

And really all it does is change the package name and permission names from com.nianticlabs.pokemongo (playstore package name) to com.nianticlabs.pokemongo.ares (samsung store package name).

Has all the features of normal PGS; its just standalone. My program does not modify what it connects and doesn't connect to. Basically a fancy package rename tool but specifically designed for pgs.

Main reason I enabled packet capturing is to see what is sent to pogo servers, hence why it uses the samsung store package name instead of a full custom package name.

You can also see pgs requests, but they're encrypted.

Basically, it will allow users to install PGS but as a Samsung version and allow people to install Pokemon Go from the Google Play Store. There would be no need to clone PGS anymore?

Strange because it works for me.. I'll try it out on another phone to see if I can reproduce it. If it doesn't work I'll see if I can find a fix.

Cheers for the message

Tried this method and the game just freezes when it has me put in my birthday for age verification. Tried u installing and reinstalling but nothing.

I've been looking into this issue. It seems that the issue is with the old version cloner app and Pgsharp. You can still clone it, but you have to pay to clone if you use the latest version for the cloner app. Also, I think the Pgsharp developers don't want you to clone their app. Sometimes they allow it and sometimes they don't.

I downloaded a cracked version of App Cloner. It's the newest version

Thanks for the tutorial, I followed the tutorial, the cloned app installs correctly but when I log in with facebook the screen always turns black and the app freezes. Then I close it, open again and asks again for login, login again with facebook and the blackscreen. Is needed any extra setting?

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

The latest version of the cloner app doesn't have a problem with logging on, at least for me using PTC, but you'll need to buy the app.

Hello I followed this Tutorial but I've faced a lot of problems. When I try to login with the Facebook account it freezes. I've tried to import my PGsharp.dat file but feeds does not work correctly. Is this still working at all? Is paid App Cloner strictly needed?

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

Yes, it still works but you have to buy the latest app cloner.

1
Elegant_Fee3249•

Thanks. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this. I'm from Cuba and I can't even buy anything on the Play Store

1
RGE_Ridix•

I downloaded the latest acp, didn't make the purchase, and was still able to successfully clone, login, and use pgs. Just completed the tutorial 5 minutes ago.

Just did this and logged with my google account into pgsharp ???? ok then thanks for the guide lol

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

You can only use Facebook or PTC account login for normal and cloned Pgsharp. I don't think you were able to use your Google account.

2
TruuuSy•

yep, that’s the thing it works now even with my google account i just chose it and it works.

I just checked Discord and they added support for it.

NewFaceHalcyon•

Quick question: did the tutorial and everything works as intended but it doesn't let me log in on Facebook. (To protect your account, the log in from external browsers is deactivated)

Any workaround for this? In non cloned app this doesn't happen

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

No, Pgsharp did something to prevent you from using the cloned app. It's the same with the Pokemon feed. In the non-clone app, the feed works fine. In the cloned app, I get an error code. I know for sure it used to work but now, it's doesn't work anymore. I am not sure why they don't want us to use a cloned app.

2
NewFaceHalcyon•

Yeah, and I just tried this because I was tired of using parallel to clone because of the invasive adds and permissions.

It turns out that new pgsharp APK doesn't let you clone with parallel either. You have to install older releases and reach current one to make it work, instead of using current one and that's it. Total hassle.

If you figure out a method please let me know man. Will continue trying some things to make this darn thing work. 😤

This was super useful. I recently got a new phone that has a much larger internal storage than my previous one, so I wanted to look into how I could do this. Your guide was very well written, and it works really well for the most part. Its a bit bothersome that feeds don't work, and on occasion I get an error saying I'm logged into PGsharp on too many devices (despite only using it on only this phone). Thank you for this.

Does this tutorial still works? I followed the tutorial but when I try to login in the cloned PGsharp apk it shows me that it cant login. I've tried with facebook and google.

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

You didn't read it before you followed the steps.

1
sebaskyclad•

I'm sorry, I didn't read the first part. I hope that in the feature this feature be possible.

1
TastyBananaPeppersOPTeam Rooted, Subreddit Owner•

I don't think the Pgsharp developers are going to support a cloned app.
