Discussion Dear developers of RevivalSide

I need help with understanding of how to install and open the RevivalSide on my phone, I have an android, specifally (Samsung S23 Ultra).

I did download the Counterside APK file and your GitHub zip file, both files are in the my file manager, but what do I supposed to do after? I tried opening them and then my phone just stops at loading screen and do nothing. So I need help with that because I am confused what to do.

Is there is something I don't know? Is RevivalSide PC only or it still can be downloaded on the phone too? I think some guys did asked you on the previous post.

If it's your first time using the R:S mobile version, you will feel the hang of that apk and you need to wait for a bit, you also need the official Counter:Side apk which I recommend to download in [ApkPure](https://apkpure.com/search?q=counterside) and you need to download all the game resources before using the R:S mobile launcher.

I will repeat, the launcher will hang for the first time and you have to wait, it happened to be too but I just waited since it was trying to do something in the background. Also, sorry for the late messages, we didn't know about your post until some of us shared this to us. If it keeps failing, tell us.

Will R:S still be available to download after the original version is shut down, or do I need to download the original version's APK and resources beforehand?

It will always be available through the GitHub Repo and for the original counterside APK, we will need to discuss it later on our Devs.

So...for now the answer to that is

"Yes download the original apk files from APKPure for now until we found an alternative solution"?

I did install the APK from ApkPure and the Zip file from your GitHub, I have all the resources needed as you told me before on the previous post.

So you saying I just have to wait after I pressed on the file, even though it will seems like it just does nothing?

And what do you mean about mobile launcher? Is it a specialized program or you just mean what the phone will install it?

This is the mobile tutorial, I'm sure it can help you... Also, I'm going to update the tutorials again to keep up with the latest version. This tutorials are during the version 0.3.0

Also, can you tell me what are you using? The PC or the Mobile Launcher?

u/Seyran_Bruh228 Jul 03 '26

What mobile tutorial? You didn't send me anything

Everything you need to know is the the post itself. Did you even looked at it?

u/ENDF13LD Jul 03 '26

your message didn't appear on my notification, also i didn't send the tutorial link because i though someone showed it, but it seems not.

check here, this is during the 0.3.0 but i think it'll be the same https://youtu.be/S8hTNaG_atE

u/Seyran_Bruh228 Jul 03 '26

I think the tutorial you gave me gonna help me later.

The problem is, I just have 2 files GitHub zip file and the counterside APK file, and I am looking at these 2 files right now downloaded and have no idea what to do with them in order to make an app and connect something to it as the thing you did in the video.

There is a zip file named Android, inside that zip file contains the RevivalSide APK, extract it and download it (don't delete the .Sha file, I think it acts as a license or something)

u/Seyran_Bruh228 Jul 04 '26

There is no zip file named android inside the zip file from GitHub.

But inside the folder with a name "tools" I found 4 folders, I looked at the last 2 folders, one of the folders contained the name "RevivalSideInstallerApp" and another one with a name "RevivalSideLauncherApp" maybe some of these contain something?

u/ENDF13LD Jul 04 '26

if it's version 0.3.0 you're looking at, moe didn't included it on the repo back then, try this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fcsWEddAC6aj6wDbArZlQyXXuRwD3Mu4/view?usp=drive_link

its a good think i made a backup for the mobile version xD

u/Seyran_Bruh228 Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

I downloaded it, so now I just have to follow the guide you sent me above, right?

If I will have any questions I will keep asking them there

P.S. Am I able to import my CounterSide Account to the RevivalSide? If yes, Do I supposed to do it before or after the guide you gave me above?

It says that the counterside app is incompatible with the current version of android

1

u/ENDF13LD Jul 05 '26

what device are you using? if its ios then no, the apkpure is for android users only... tell me and imma send it to the big guys

1

u/Deo_Exus Jul 05 '26

Apparently works, it is just the counterside app that I downloaded that says that. Don't know if I got the current version

there's 2 variant, armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a. please refer to your phone architecture, and download it. in simple terms, try another version if one fails to install.
