Turn on patcher process if it's not already (Morphe system settings), and increase memory to 1024mb

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Actually, I see you're using Android 8.0.

Patcher process is not available.

Your device is rooted. Can you update to Android 11 or later?

No, 8.0 is the latest for my device.

Android may be provding only 256mb of ram.

There may be third party roms available.

Currently your only solution is to either patch on a different/newer device then send the patched apk to your Android 8.0 device, or patch on a computer using the desktop patching (Morphe-CLI)

How do I mount the apk? The cli mount doesn't work

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

You need to install the original unpatched apk before mounting. You must exclude GmsCore support for root.

Use non root install if needed.

I copied the magisk module from another device to mine.

Also patching seems to work on Android 10, I didn't notice sharp consumption of ram like on my device.

I copied the magisk module from another device to mine. The post-fs-data.d one of the cli didn't work.
