[MOD][ROOT] Activate Hound voice assistant without invitation

[djh816]

1) Install Hound from the Play Store (or working apk attached in case an update kills this): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hound.android.app
2) Open Hound. Once at activation screen, force close Hound
3) Extract the contents of com.hound.android.app_preferences.xml.zip into /data/data/com.hound.android.app/shared_prefs/
4) Open Hound. Enjoy

Notes:
For anyone who cares, the only modifications to the .xml I made were stripping my info and adding

<boolean name="invitation_complete" value="true" />

Yeah without a legitimate invitation you can't get that waitlist ID. I was able to add a string variable called "waitlist_id" that seemed to make it happy but with 0 as the value, it rejected my invitations. I think there is a server side check. For those that are legitimately invited though, they may be able to have unlimited invites haha

It's all good im glad to be able to test this so far not impressed, but that's why it's a beta

Not working here, no matter what. I'm on 12S for the OnePlus. Selinux is relaxed.

I can overwrite the xml file, or edit it, and it will stay 'fixed' until I either reboot or start Hound.

Also, when the directions say to force close Hound, I go to settings/apps and force close it that way.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

EDIT: The problem was Root Explorer and Root Browser were not seemingly working with Lollipop getting past the permissions...

Fx Explorer finally did, once I found it's root setting.

Fast app for most basic searches. It'll be fun to watch it's continuing development.

Didn't work for me
I tried replacing it and changing permission or not changing permission, it wont work... activation screen comes up as soon as I open the app.
I'm on stock 5.0.1

You have to use root explorer or something like this. And you should have root, of course.
