I know this will be a controversial topic, but there has been a enormous modding scene on Quest 1, 2 and 3 with people installing Nexus/Other mods into their games without needing a phone or computer. And the introduction of Scoped Storage in V51 slowed modding for a month with the blocking on /Android/data, but a work around was eventually found with Scoped Storage that allowed access to all the juicy game/files/Mods folders. But the V63 update has stealth updated Scoped Storage without notice and imposed additional restrictions that are more strict then Android 13. This update will stop the average of 20k users a day from installing mods on a device they own without needing a computer or phone.
Just to state, if I point Scoped Storage to /Android/data, in the past, it would allow the user to grant access to the folder. But after V63 it and all children are blocked due to privacy concerns.
Now still, a user can plug into their computer and access the the /Android/data content, which kind of makes locking it up from itself a weird flex of requiring a PC to mod their games.
Are people with the official release of V 63 supposed to be having the scoped storage issue or just people on the public test channel because me and other people that I have never used the public test channel. Still have no scoped Storage access.
same here, I think we'll have to wait for them to confirm what build the fix is going to be in since they're likely rolling out new versions over the next couple of weeks and the "latest" build will be different for many of us
The Release and new PTC were supposed to get the version with Scoped Storage working, but it didn't make it over the finish line. Hopefully the next version 🤞
ok look im extremely frustrated i apologize for being rude but. WootM4ge do you possibly have some sort of time line for a fix i get that this was an Android thing but christ in heaven i had over a thousand different files i really wanna get back and once this is fixed is there a way to prevent something like this in future i already had to factory reset my headset once b4 an that really wicked for the time being my modded version of bone lab is still working so gonna try to be patient while meta works on a solution but back to what i was asking ( do you possibly have a time frame for a fix )
Honestly i love my quest i would rather have my quest over a PlayStation or xbox but meta look man don't bend the knee to the government at the end of the day its parents who control the content kids consume meta my advice to you ice you want to stay Relevant is embrace modding and your mostly adult community and find a way to increse headset lifespan. . i had a thought a while back i wonder if this would be possible meta could make smaller pcs specifically for there quest headsets in the price range of about a series s or x call it the metabox Basically a supercharger an shot of Nitro for your quest i mean in theory i feel like that would Increase the life span for quest 2 an 3 by at least 3 years
i just seen this after writing you a book lol i owe u an apologie i came on here the other day really upset an i was super rude thanks for lookin in to this for us an im really glad meta has someone out here actually listening to the community im sorry i was an ass. i do hope that fix comes sooner rather than later. Because a factory reset is out of the question lol
