Re: [NOT A BUG] Unable to save PatternSet
Welcome to the forum, allanjuiceup
and thanks for your message.
What you report is not a bug.
Please save your pattern sets, where G-Stomper is supposed to save it.
As of Android 8.0, G-Stomper apps do not any longer have access to the shared storage "/storage/emulated/0/gstomper"
(and I'm 100% sure that your Note 20 runs at a higher Android version)
Instead the apps write to “/sdcard/Android/data/<app-packagename>/files/gstomper”.
All information about this change (which was made years ago) can be found in this topic.
With a bit of copying, you can move all your data to the new storage location. It's all described in here.
The topic also explains why this change was done, as it was not our idea. It was forced by the new privacy measures in the Android OS 10 and higher.
Thanks for your understanding.

Btw. you can of course still load files from shared storage "/storage/emulated/0/gstomper" using the system files picker.
To do so, just go to: main menu / load / ... then long press (press and hold) pattern set to show up the system files picker.
But you cannot write any data to that location anymore.
Please just use the new folders, and all will be fine.
