Watch on youtube.comMany are upset that they cannot run Cozmo on the newer Android versions. Alas! I have a work around that I've been using 💪
This method works with free tools so no payment is needed.

- FV File Explorer
BEFORE YOU COPY THIS ACROSS, you must make a name change:
>>> the file must change to: main.6.com.digitaldreamlabs.cozmo3.obb
>>> the folder must change to: com.digitaldreamlabs.cozmo3
👆 this is as you made a +1 clone in appcloner, and didn't replicate the original app for an original clone. DDL's release of Cozmo ends cozmo2, our +1 clone uses cozmo3.
- Once you have renamed the files, then copy the folder and remember the tab next to the home tab, click that, then click > obb and paste the folder in there. If all setup correct the obb should paste.
- To check all is working, open Cozmo app, enable storage access, and it should load successfully.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- FV File Explorer does nothing when I press the Shizuku button?
Close FV file explorer, go to shizuku and Starr the service again.
Ensure you're connected to WiFi with USB debugging and wireless debugging enabled.
have fun with Your Cozmo and if there is anything, just let us know
