Help with wheelchair software

Ahoy!

I got a new phone yesterday. I also use a wheelchair. The wheels have an app called "e-motion M25" which I used on my old phone. I patched it using lucky patcher since most functions (turn wheels on, cruise control, remote to drive the wheelchair to my current chair) are behind an incredible expensive paywall.

Since I don't own the wheels (they're technically still insurance property) and the software isn't super reliable, I won't pay over €300 just to use my wheels.

But I can't seem to patch it on my new phone, even when sharing the patched app directly from my old one. The store simply won't open. I've not been rooted since forever and prefer not to root at all, since it was possible to do so on my old phone.

Would anybody care to help me out or give me some tips on where to look? Thanks in advance!

UPDATE after spending my entire morning on the floor, I installed older versions of the app until I found one that worked with luckypatcher. I know it's a small chance but if someone using the same wheels finds this post, you have to figure out how to download luckypatcher and use this version of the app. In lucky patcher create a multi patch APK and make sure to turn off "billing" in the second screen. When opening the store, be careful not to scroll to the complete bottom or else the app wil crash. Buy each pack individually and lucky patcher will handle things from there.

To every commenter: thank you. Lemmings are the best and capitalism is the devil.

I'm sorry I don't have any answer, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you have to go through this to make your life easier. Also I fucking hate unrestrained capitalism.

Capitalism thrives off mobility aids. Anything decent, even a decent backpack, cost an arm and a leg just because it's made for the cripples. I hate it here lol.

I understand. I use a cane due to severe inflammatory arthritis and a long list of other crap including a deteriorating spine that's likely to land me in a chair myself in a few years. Trying to build my own ramp into my house a little at a time on good days because it's several thousand dollars to have one built and eventually I won't be able to do it at all. Solidarity in hating it here. I'm in Texas in the US which, well it's run by regressive masochistic asshats.

And here I am in the Netherlands, taking trips to the Midwest sometimes and crying everytime because it's so accessible and the ADA and what not. All from a tourist perspective, which is just.... I can get into a restaurant and use the sidewalks.

I am blessed to have a ramp. And now I'm realizing I say blessed when we're just human beings living our regular human being lives trying to get out of our house. I hope the regression will be a slow one for you and remember: a wheelchair isn't something to be ashamed about. Ambulatory wheelchair users exist so if you feel like you can profit off of one, so you may take a longer hike in the mountains or whatever, don't feel ashamed.

It's funny you mention that. I barely make it 30 minutes at my art receptions of I manage to submit work in a slow. I've been thinking about it and remembering how much of a fight I put up before getting a cane and how much I wished I hadn't waited so long. Probably time to talk to my doc. Thank you friend and I hope you get that chair hacked and at your command.

I got a lot of my freedom back by getting a chair. Good luck, friend!

The people who downvoted are complete silly billys.

Thank you, but it's okay. I only see the positive total on my app. Some people just love the taste of corporate boot leather.

Must be an acquired taste. sorry shit sucks. (wrt this)
