can you post the libigo_jni.so library? I'll give it a look as well. Don't care to download it on my phone and pull it. In terms of armeabi-v7a, the code will be easier to read and you'll probably get an idea of how to patch much easier and then be able to port it to arm64.
iGO Navigation_v9.35.2.250945_apkpure.com.apk [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Sorry i can't attach file here even if it is in 7z format.
Download iGO Navigation_v9.35.2.250945_apkpure.com.apk, then open with 7z and extract from
"iGO Navigation_v9.35.2.250945_apkpure.com.apk\lib\arm64-v8a\libigo_jni.so"
btw on my laptop it took 2 hours to complete loading on ida ! After save database deflat over 400 mb and guard it, then on ida next time just load the database !
on ida be sure to use arm to hex convertor for human readable when code patching !
then on ida to export patched bytes do Edit => Patch program => apply patches to input file = in our case "libigo_jni.so"
now use on windows a MTP connection to the phone and copy into some write access folder the patched "libigo_jni.so", then from phone
use Total Commander for Android and from the folder with the file "libigo_jni.so" copy it to/into the folder something like (in my case)
"/data/app/~~uYQwxwBTxWn6A0S906SARA==/com.nng.igo.primong.igoworld-ryQZYK6ugCAY-g5vUAz9lQ==/lib/arm64/libigo_jni.so"
overwrite the libigo_jni.so with the new patched one..
by doing so it will not have to restart the phone and you will gain a very much amount of time !
happy testing..
the code is very different from 32 to 64. on 32 is pretty readable but on 64
Thanks for the IDA update!
I updated to the latest and also this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Now i tried another tool named Ghidra and after that i Erased IDA Pro completely.
Now i don't have anymore IDA Pro and i never, ever plan to return to IDA!
Now the Ghidra zip unpacked has almost 900 mb, but i managed to reduced it to 266 mb total !
You need JAVA JDK not JRE, and be sure to tick add to path in java jdk installation !
Have a look at what Ghidra can do with the code !

Pathetic IDA Pro

Now resuming with Ghidra i saw even in my past patched files the code and i might say that what tooked me DAYS on IDA Pro, on Ghidra found it in about 1 (one) hour !
So thanks NSA (National Security Agency) for this Ghidra !
Strongly advise is to forget about IDA PRO or anything regarding IDA, as Ghidra is the New King and IDA PRO is just an very bad JESTER !
quick note: on Ghidra be sure to import file as RAW as to allow byte patching and exporting right (you will understand it !)

Description:A guide to using the Ghidra software reverse engineering tool suite.
The result of more than a decade of research and development within the NSA, the Ghidra platform was developed to address some of the agency's most challenging reverse-engineering problems. With the open-source release of this formerly restricted tool suite, one of the world's most capable disassemblers and intuitive decompilers is now in the hands of cybersecurity defenders everywhere -- and The Ghidra Book is the one and only guide you need to master it.
In addition to discussing RE techniques useful in analyzing software and malware of all kinds, the book thoroughly introduces Ghidra's components, features, and unique capacity for group collaboration. You'll learn how to:
• Navigate a disassembly
• Use Ghidra's built-in decompiler to expedite analysis
• Analyze obfuscated binaries
• Extend Ghidra to recognize new data types
• Build new Ghidra analyzers and loaders
• Add support for new processors and instruction sets
• Script Ghidra tasks to automate workflows
• Set up and use a collaborative reverse engineering environment
Dsigned for beginner and advanced users alike, The Ghidra Book will effectively prepare you to meet the needs and challenges of RE, so you can analyze files like a pro.

Boki_Srb@ said that "A certain experienced team of experts failed to patch 9.35 nextgen editions for more than a two years."
is hard to check a file of 36 mb. even with a debugger i didn't manage to get right addresses!
more i am a bit rusty, i didn't touch arm anymore since 2016.
Anyway with Ghidra things are advancing and so far i only managed regarding "libigo_jni.so" to get rid of the expire license. As no more trial expiration.
About enable all the inactive content or licenses, well Ghidra showed me that are keys,certificates,calls.
I didn't get any luck with the SWID. But i am into other things as license are all over the place i just need to find the right one and "nop" all the middle codes.
Beside i only spend 2 maybe 2:30 hours a day for this project, as with Ghidra i only scratched the surface so far !
It's the most amazing piece of software !
You have been a member of the forum for almost 4 years, I thought you followed the events more.
I'll have to follow up on my post:
Cr*cking software (trial period) isn’t that much big deal in Android environment. BUT, licenses are a huge bone from the start. Every aspect of the iGO Nextgen software package is very very deeply dependent on them. iGO can't function without them (there was a discussion about that a long time ago).
Who knows, maybe fresh blood and new views will bring some breakthrough in this field I wish you the best of luck.
Before asking a question, know it's already discussed here and at 99.9% is not unique. Use search. NO ONE IS A SEER, READ (click on): [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] <- Click! [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] <- Click!

Many questions become very arduous, a lot of time chewed deja vu...Since we have lost all the year of work and effort, many people have no will to answer the same questions again. Me neither. Use a search, please.
Can you tell me what phone are you using? I tried to install it on my Galaxy Note 10 plus and I have a black screen when I open the app. I think it is because of the screen's resolution..
I've been a member for 4 years, but i only came as many others to just download and go.
I am aware of that and of course license is the cherry cake, still work to be done.
I see what i can do..
Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite (6GB RAM lpddrx4 /128GB Internal Storage with read/write over 350 MBs)
Miui 12.5 Beta, Android 11, 1080x2340 screen resolution
