Thanks for your hardwork!

I dont get your question.
If you means how you move files from windows to apk, you can do this putting files in the Shared Folder (the same as the 3rd tutorial).
Then open a file explorer in BS and check in the "windows" folder from there
If you want to install mods in BS you can download the apk on your PC and open it using BlueStacks.

Is it possible to move file(s) from BS to PC? How?

 

[DaemonXSoul]

Is it possible to move file(s) from BS to PC? How?

Yes is possible.
You can do putting the file in the Shared Folder in BS, open your favorite file manager and the folder should be inside windows folder, then BstSharedFolder (except if you have changed it following the tutorial above).
Then return on Windows, go to the default path of the Shared Folder (also showed in images in tutorial if you had not changed it).
There you have the files you want.

 

[hk771]

Just for everyones who doesn't know (like me) ...
The path is C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder
ProgramData is normally hidden in C: so you must unhide it first

The path is not always that, also depends on where you have installed it i guess

I agreed
For the ones who are more professional, they should not forget where they put the SharedFolder in

Are you saying I'm unprofessional? I forgot where my Shared Folder was a couple of times :sob:

Anyway... The tutorial clearly show a way to find the folder path, so there shouldn't be problems like this one.

is it possible to root bluestacks without installing pre rooted?

 

[Setsuna11]

how about adding some game screen movement into key board ?? i mean just like fps games that needed a keyboard ...
do u have that buddy??

 

[DaemonXSoul]

is it possible to root bluestacks without installing pre rooted?

Yes it possible, but you should check XDA for those things. I tried following a guide and using a tool from there, but the resulting rooted Bluestack had all the Google apps broken and it was impossible to let them work.
Maybe you have more luck with it.
I personally suggest prerooted versions, a lot easier and faster.

If i got what are you asking for, it should be here: How to map keys in Bluestacks apps/games
I played Shadow Gun deadzone for a while with it (not only the movements, also assigned all Recharge to R, change weapon to F etc...) but my keyboard don't work properly with bluestack (is a wireless Trust keyboard and BS don't seems to accept it very well).
I switched FPS game using droid4x (it also had the Phone as controller so i actually don't use any keyboard, except for recharge, switch weapon buttons etc)

 

[Ztrebot]

Is there any vip games for bluestacks??

 

[DaemonXSoul]

Is there any vip games for bluestacks??

I never had any problem playing vip games in bluestack or droid4x.
Vip mods have usually an anti-detection system or in case they haven't you can request it in that game mod thread in Vip modded games section.

Thanks for sharing

All I want to do is change the wallpaper. Is there a way to do that with Bluestacks 4. Under 3, I was premium and still had to put up with their b.s. ads. I don't mind supporting something, but I'm not so fond of being forced into doing it so I can access one feature and still have to put up with things I do not want.
