Need help pirating stuff I paid for [Pirating Android App Protected content on Linux]
edit: I believe scrcpy fits what I looking for right now, although it views black screen for some materials (during navigation) it does give me a good view of the pdf. I doubt if I would be able to download the pdf unfortunately, but hey, this is the next best thing. Since I would need to login first, I might use Shizuka as suggested by the first commenter (not mentioned username incase they decide to delete acc someday).
I am willing to provide any information one could need to help me with this, so when I was getting my admit, the people concerned with this app told me I would be getting Pdfs of notes prepared by the faculty and videos too. Honestly, I know how to pirate those videos so that I can use them at any time, but since I don't have a phone, I can't view the content which is not available on website [pdf notes] and only available for view on android and it's view protected and the freaking phone is small and I can't hope to read from my phone [and they know that].
So, I was thinking if it was possible to break the protection which can allow me to view the notes on my linux laptop using some app. Or better yet, pirate the bloody pdf so I can take their print outs and read it in physical form. Please ask me any further info you might need.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't know the end answer, but I believe your starting point is a rooted Android, and if this isn't possible, use the root replacement that works on most devices, the SnapEnhance works without root and even gives free SnapChat Plus as an added bonus. Shizuka is a root replacement and a Magisk replacement. Magisk modules for DRM or protected view or screenshot protect may guide you in the proper direction, godspeed sir!
Unfortunately I don't think this would be a great idea. I mean, I don't want to root that old thing, it hardly works as it is :"(
I wanted a pure Linux solution if possible. Anyways, I think this is a good advice because when I buy a new phone, I will do this.

I don’t believe what you’re asking for exists, but I hope we can find a solution for you nonetheless!
Thank you for your willingness to help. btw, how do I install shizuka (the sentence is quite funny to me :')
Maybe try a virtual machine with an Android image and see what you can do from there instead. You can run pure Android disc images (.iso) from virtual machine emulator software. This way, you can edit and even root the Android installation all from the comfort and safety of your virtual machine and it can be easily deleted at any time. This will help you bake in anti-DRM or screen protection, or at least use root to disable the protection itself. I know there is a Magisk module already available for taking screenshots in protected apps.
This is better I think, I waste a lot of time on my laptop, I heard there is a bootable android emulator, maybe I can just download and burn it onto my pendrive and try something there. Meanwhile, I will take it as a second option, how can I use shizuka, an article would be greatly helpful.

thank you very much! I actually discovered that these pdfs are uploaded through google drive and set to view only, so Imma try to break that, I can take screenshots now. I don't need this anymore, but I am gonna try it anyway. Thank you again!

Who are you, why are you so wise in the ways of science?
Haha, I actually knew about the script but it's somewhat not clear and you get images instead of text, which is good, but I wish I could download it with text so I can search math topics I want to study in the search bar and get it.
Unfortunately, JDownloader2 (which I installed after reading your comment) didn't work for me(image) You reckon I should create a post anyway?
Sorry, it does appear we're reaching the end here.
There was some discussion on our old homebase...if this doesn't work though I'm sorry other than any extensions I haven't tried, I wouldn't be sure on how to get them to download properly, it probably doesn't have the data to do so which is why it doesn't show correctly.
As per /u/aFancyUsernameHere -
"The script u'll usually find on searches suck. For me the best way is if you have an IOS device. When you download and login to your account in Drive app. A google drive tab will show in the Files app. Just make a shortcut of the file to "My Drive" so it shows in the Files app. From there just press and hold and click share, send it via Telegram or anything that you can download from it. And thats it."
hey, no need to fuss about it ig
I mean, you have done enough
meanwhile, it didn't work for me on android, I did read the reddit post you are referring to, but it doesn't work for me. Again, thank you!
I have created another post, let's hope there is a better way to download view on drive files. have a good day you!
