EDIT: LOL, no one responded to this post. It makes you wonder if you should optimize Ren'py games for Android, is it worth it? Check out this poll a guy made: https://f95zone.to/threads/poll-do-you-use-a-phone-tablet-to-play-porn-games.82808/ ... A lot of people don't play adult on mobile, or maybe they do? I wonder if there's any data at all on this subject.

This post is meant for people who play Ren'py adult games on their Android Phone. I already have a genuine idea of how the patching process works, as I've tested it myself, but still, I want to know what you guys go through when doing it. Maybe I can learn some faster and easier way of getting it done.

Questions for you...

1. Is it normal for you guys to apply a patch manually to your Ren'py porn game on your android phone? Is this something you're all good at doing?

2. Do you guys have your phone in developer mode with USB debugging turned on or off?

3. Do you hook up your phone to your PC, then from your PC, navigate to the android data files on your phone, and manually copy an patch there? Like this? ... Or do you actually download the file onto your android phone, navigate to the game folder via android's file explorer; after manually making the game folder, and just copy and paste there, all from your phone?

If you guys do it another way, can you let me know? I want to make applying a patch for my game, on android, as EASY as possible, and even make instructions so ANYONE can do it, but I'm just curious what trials and tribulations, what hassles and annoyances you guys have had to deal with.

I know I can pre-package a ren'py APK game with a special patch already applied, but I'd rather not do that. Does anyone know how other developers do it, do you guys know devs who will actually pre-package the special patch into their APK and release it unofficially or something?
