  1. ES File Explorer v4.2.0.3.5
  2. VFIN 1.0.2: An app to bypass the SafetyNet checker inside Pokemon GO.  On VMOS 1.0.47 and VMOS 1.0.49 VFIN was available when VMOS was installed
  3. com.theappninjas.fakegpsjoystick.zip: GPS Joystick unlocked version which we will install as a system app. This is a backup file so we don’t need to install it.
  4. The latest version of Pokemon GO armeabi-v7a architecture. Make no mistake choosing Pokemon GO with arm64-v8a architecture. Because it can’t be installed on VMOS. It will give you the message “App not installed”.
