2 games one folder, please help! - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys first post. I have side loaded 2 games to my HP TouchPad. I had to copy the game data folders to root. The problem is Both of the folders have the same name, and when I change the name of either one the games will not start. Is there a way change the name of the destination file of one of the games, or set one of the folders to a different path, and the game still work. My operating system is ics 4.04' and I am rooted. I have a HP touch pad. As said prior. Also I've looked everywhere for this post and could not find it anywhere on the net. Thanks for any help in advance.

Well I thought this was the place to come for answers but apparently not this is my first post its been here for days and I have 0 replies I will check post 1 more time in after that cancel my account.

I don't understand what you're asking. Why did you move anything to root and why did you move app data? Do you mean the apk? How did you sideload the apps?

Explain what you have done, and why? Can't answer questions that doesn't make sense.

OK I will re-explain. I am rooted on an hp touchpad . Running cyanogenmod 9 4.04 ics. I have side loaded 2 games meaning installed them from the internet not downloaded through the play store. I put 2 games at the root of my SD card. Spiderman and wild blood, by installing the apk, then pasting the game data at root of SD card with, es file explorer. The two games both use the folder gameloft. You cannot have two folders with the same name on the SD card. I have found a couple scripts that will change the destination (file path) of the games, but has not worked. I thought there might be a way to change the name of the folder where the game would still recognize the folder as its data. Though I cannot find a script to do so. So I am stuck changing the name of one of the folders every time I want to play one of those games. I need help getting both games to play without having to change the name of the game folder to play. Thanks for any help and expertise in advance. Merry Christmas. A speedy reply would be much appreciated.

With the gameloft games, there is a file folder inside which has the actual game, just move the contents of one gameloft folder to the other and put that folder on the root and it will work...and threatning for an answer by saying you will delete your account, is going to get you nowhere fast

This is true. I am certain that if you took time to explore the file system, that you would discover the directory includes a number of redundant file paths. Take for example:
/sdcard/Gameloft/data/wildblood
/sdcard/Gameloft/data/spiderman
This could be solved by merging the folders resulting in a single file path:
/sdcard/Gameloft/data/wildblood
...................................../spiderman
See what we mean?

People like you really irritate me. Self-entitled, demanding little children who contribute nothing to the scene except a sense of unjustified "I DESERVE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND SERVICE, PEASANTS, OR I AM TAKING MY BALL AND GOING HOME!".
"It worked", indeed. I hope your tablet bricks.

Like most posts on the forum everyone would say the first thing you need to do is search! Your going to delete you account? *clap clap* go ahead. If you don't know how to do something so simple just because there's not a step by step guide to it and you get negative Nancy about it. I'm surprised you didn't brick your touchpad because its well deserved.

Thank you for being a complete account troll this post is almost a year old, and hasn't been posted on in forever. Also the only way I could get anyone to post was these extreme measures. Guess what the next day I received replies. So everybody gets mad, but finally I get a reply, and guess what? It didn't work anyway. Gameloft does not allow 2 or more games in one directory. By the way don't bother writing back, cause I'm not one of these tarded trolls who waste there breathe, and 2 pages arguing, cause I had a life. C-ya troll.

Did you really just ask this question?
Most people do what the second poster suggested, you can use the android market or appbrain or even just look for apk's online and see what works. Is this your first mobile phone ever or are you pulling our legs I should mention you do not need to be rooted in order to get games and apps on your phone, only certain games and apps require the phone to be rooted.
yaa
This is my first "Android" mobile that's why i don't have enough information about it.
Thanks though

Bud, the original post was edited after our comments so how about you pay attention to what is going on. Secondly some good ribbing is all that was going on prior to the op changing their question. So get off your horse and kick yourself if you think we are being too hard, I know I wasn't. Here is the original quote that if you would have read my first post you would have seen what they asked.

No problem, I just try to read posts before being a complete asshole to people.

[Q] I really could use some help please...

First off, I apologize if I come off as "noobish". I joined this site about 10 minutes ago. Anyway, last week I left my Samsung Captivate unattended (like the drunken fool I am), someone guessed my pattern too many times and now I'm at the "too many pattern attempts" screen and of course I do not have a Google account. From my understanding, after readin some threads on here, one of the solutions is to use the ODIN program to flash the phone, is that correct? And also, is there any possible way, via ODIN or some other program, for me to view my text messages before I flash it and lose everything? I would very much like to know the contents of the texts I've been receiving all week. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this, and perhaps help me out.
The too many pattern attempts only locks the phone for a set time. Sounds to me like you "found" a phone that you want help with. Why not take it to at&t and have them return it or ask them for assistance if you are indeed the rightful owner.
I can assure you I'm the righful owner. I left my phone unattended at a party and my fantastic friends tried guessin my pattern too many times. I'm now stuck at a screen where you have to enter your Google account. Like a dumbass I didn't create a Google account when I first purchased the phone. So now I'm locked out of my phone for good. And I've already been to AT&T. We tried the hard reset, and just does not work and they won't give me a new phone.
**** flashed with Odin and create a new Google acc or call art and said that u lost the phone and paid those 125 but u still can keep the phone u have now and sell it truogh Craigslist or some place like that !

So just get on a computer and create a Google gmail account. It does not have to be created by your phone. Once you have created your account, you can then enter your gmail ID when the phone prompts for it.
But I agree. Something is fishy with this story.

So its going to verify whatever he puts in there to a "blank" file, it won't match The point of entering the Gmail account is a second means of verification, if there is no account registered to the phone, it won't work.
His best bet is to return the phone to its owner.....the dead give away that it is not his, is that he has not had it for a week...who can go a week without their Captivate?
Agreed....return to owner

I haven't posted because I have been quite busy with work and school. I have accessed the Market before. But it never asked me to create a Google Account. Not that I remember anyway. I wish there was a way for me to prove to y'all I am very sincere about my situation. I really do need help with this. It is true, I have been locked outta my phone for over a week now and it is drivin me crazy. But I'm explorin other options that doesn't cost money, like the ODIN program, that was what I really wanted to know about. Anyway, judgin by all the post, I'm some evil asshole tryin to get into someone else's phone. Which, I guess, is somewhat understandable, and with y'all not knowin me or me not bein able to show proof of my sincerity, I guess I can't be too upset about the accusations. I guess, I will just download the ODIN program, try to find some steps on how to use it and see if I can't mess my phone up even more.

I think you are straight up lying. dude, att isn't going to just say "sorry, can't help you" if its really your phone. plus, Google account creation is (almost) unsurpassable when you insert sim card for first time. please tell us how you used market without Google account because im pretty sure its more secure than that(especially for situations like the one you brought here).
if its truly your phone, go to att tomorrow, give them the last four of your social security no. and they will be more than happy to reset your phone.
btw none of the people who use XDA frequently have ever come across someone who hasn't created a Google account for market use.

sync fb Contacts - without allowing extra app to collect ur fb info!!

We all have FB & ever since ICS days FB syncing was disabled. A lot of us want to be able to sync images for contacts from fb. I personally don't like adding more & more apps as they can have some impact on performance or battery. But most importantly I dont want to share my fb info with other apps.
**Just a update....Purity Rom has this enabled as of 01/29/2014 N4 build....so Purity users please skip this...its more useful for other Roms***
I had mentioned it in one of the forums, and few people had messaged me in private regarding it so I am just putting it out there in simple noob friendly manner. The steps do seem long, but once you get through it couple of times these are very very simple. For me this method has worked great over time, worth the effort for me atleast.
So I found a method back in the ICS days to be able to sync fb images with client profiles following Niranjan's method (I take no credit for it whatsoever and just providing information and can help someone if they need any guidance) but subsequently author stopped posting/responding the thread. So I will try to recompile a easy guide that can prove useful for anyone who wants to do it on their own. Please note Sense n other OEM roms already have this capability so u won't need this method.
Drawbacks
1. Slightly time consuming joining contacts.
2. Have to redo process everytime you update rom (dirty flash keeps older syncs but doesn't update)
Requirements:
1. Root and su - since you will be modifying system file.
2. Download and install aShell and aSqlLiteManager from google store - both free by developer Andsen thanks for his contributions. Also once u are done...u can simply uninstall these two apps.
3. Be able to decompile & compile apk files or alternatively I could do it for u but never try to rush or demand from me....I am doing it as a courtesy so never try to push me for it. You could always quote me (so I get notified) or send me a message in case I don't respond in a day.
Steps
1. We need to retrieve your current contactsprovider.apk file. Depending on your version of Android it can be located in different folder within the root directory:
a. Kitkat: /system/priv-app
b. Jellybean/ICS: /system/app/
2. Make sure to do a backup of the apk file before proceeding. If you want me to modify your apk file then upload it for me to modify and skip step 3-5.
3. Save the copied apk as contactsprovider1.apk Decompile (I used this guide in starting...noob friendly) the contactsprovider.apk and call it contacts. Rename attached arrays.xml.txt file to arrays.xml and add to decompiled apk's res/values/ folder.
4. Once you have added the file you should a total of 4 files (including the one you added). Recompile the apk folder as contacts.apk. Using Winrar/7-zip copy resources.arsc from contacts.apk and replace the file in contactprovider1.apk.
5. Upload the new contactsprovider1.apk to its correct directory and since you have the original backed up safetly you can rename the file to contactsprovider.apk after setting the permissions. Set permissions to -rw-r--r--
6. Open aShell (installed earlier), grant it superuser permissions. You will come across few tip boxes, so just close through them. Tick Root checkbox. Click File Explorer. Navigate to Data/Data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases and click on contacts2.db. Allow aSQLd mime sqlite to open the db. Click Open database with aSQLiteManager. Click Query. Enter following query "alter table raw_contacts add column is_restricted VARCHAR;" (don't include quotes). Click Run & you are done.
7. Press back button until you get a popup message asking you to save the changes you committed and you say YES to it.
8. Now login into your FB app and go to app settings and you will have a option at the bottom for sync. Select Sync all and give it about 5 minutes to sync through. You can open your contacts/people app and see if the names/images start coming through from FB.
9. One last step (boon for some curse for others) is you have to open up your contacts/people app and go to the contact who you want to sync with fb. Go to Edit, go to join and your FB contact will show up there and you join them together.

Your solution involves installing 2 additional apps... Ashell and asqlitemanager, both of which require a user to be rooted, as well as decompiling an app on top of the other additional steps. Your reasoning for those steps was an additional cost to phone performance.
Ubersync is 1 app rather than 2, so it fits better into your first requirement, doesn't require root access, and doesn't affect performance because it doesn't run in background unless it's performing a sync, which takes roughly 30 seconds compared to your 5 minutes and can be set to happen as little as once a month.
I did read your post. The logic is flawed and reasoning outdated especially on current model phones.

U don't require either of the apps once u are done.... but i am sure someone super intelligent like u knew.... Plus someone as smart as u who is getting his panties in a bunch for no reason will know that uber is an app which doesn't sync phone numbers..... n most of nexus users don't like extra add on apps
N most importantly this is a free forum.... U are more then welcome to open a new thread n preach whatever u want.... instead of being a 50yr old cranky old guy

No preaching, simply offering a streamlined alternative. I'm not aware of the poll that shows how many people who own a nexus don't like add-on apps, but I hesitate at advising people to edit their phone databases because of the risk of mistakes, even with backups. Considering that database queries search for specifically labeled information, a wrong edit can cause the database cursor to not be able to find the information, affecting not only the contacts app but any other app that accesses the contacts provider.
At the very least, I'd recommend posting the dangers of using this method over simply using a sync app. But considering how easily you were able to correctly estimate my intelligence, I'd guess you've already thought of that.
Good night

I'd rather download 1 app. This, to be honest isn't noob friendly. Im familiar with all this and even i found it complicated.
Not only is there various app on Google play which do this, most don't require you to be rooted.
Also ROMs are offering contact sync now.
I just flashed the latest Purity and as soon as i installed Facebook it syncd both contact pictures and numbers with out any apps.
So that's also an option for rooted users.

If u read i put in what are the drawbacks for it. Also i am not pushing it to anyone or reinventing the wheel here.... lot of people used Niranjan's method, i just gave then option of doing it in kitkat.
I won't know why u did be happy to have a 3rd party app have access to your data + causing a battery drain. Adding a column to db isn't creating havoc.... any person who has basic knowledge of SQL could tell u that....
N i am not here to sell something or destroy a db by adding a column to it if someone could use it then great.... it's about helping each other out on xda... cause there are people who don't like 3rd party apps controlling them

Big thumbs up simply by how well the person can defend his/her argument. Not running wild into emotions like the OP. But on topic - this is indeed an easier option for noobs.
Thanks

lol n here u r searching for ways to still be able to sync contacts for fb that landed u on this page.....lol speaks a lot about ur comfort level with the app.....but sure as u said wild emotions....u r more then welcome to give more apps control to ur personal life n also try to put down ppl who r trying to share with community
anyways whole idea was to give some users who had been looking n asking for fb sync an alternative...but thats helping them...which u wont understand.....funnily enough one of the best roms on N4 also got fb enabled by its dev.....so guess I am very wrong
I will be more then happy to close out the thread

I'd rather download 1 app. This, to be honest isn't noob friendly. Im familiar with all this and even i found it complicated.
Not only is there various app on Google play which do this, most don't require you to be rooted.
Also ROMs are offering contact sync now.
I just flashed the latest Purity and as soon as i installed Facebook it syncd both contact pictures and numbers with out any apps.
So that's also an option for rooted users.

actually JayRokk...just re-read ur post n yes Purity has it added. its the same step from Niranjan's guide I believe....so it would be beneficial to all users....the extra steps are for users on different roms....coz they can have edits in their contactsprovider.apk....n once u r done running the script in aShell....u uninstall it...I always do
So the whole idea is....u r in control...u r not sharing ur fb info with another app....thats why in the first place it was devised...if it helps someone great....if not then lemme know how to get the thread closed n I will delete the guide as well....since on xda now...ppl arent about helping but ppl bashing....n I dont have free time for dramaqueens
Please don't judge the reason for me coming on this thread if you don't know them. I was simply scrolling through whole forum to see what's new and stumbled on this and just to read what it was all about.
As for you my advice would be to stop these generalisations as pointed in the response from the other person above.
I think you should just calm down and let people voice their opinions as clearly your method ain't for noobs. But rather a complex alternative. And I do know SQL and been with android since 2009, but certainly I would not recommend my girlfriend following this road for the reasons pointed above.
P.s. I've nothing to hide so I don't really care where my personal data is being used but if person worked for government or any other institution were personal data is sensitive - then I think there's no place of Facebook on his/her phone

actually...u r being very childish....n making judgement as anyone could see.....no one invited u here....1 person is preaching his/her interest in app...which wasnt needed as this is just a guide for whosoever wants it.....its not like I am going n dragging ur gf into this. even rooting a phone isnt recommended or installing customs roms either....u are so totally not going the xda way....its about learning n sharing...thats what most ppl come on here to do...but I guess u arent here for that
n as pointed out by JayRokk as well...this has been added to Purity...one of the best roms out here...so its not like this is a bad thing...this is mostly for other rom users...if they want it they can do it...if they dont then they just get Contacts+ app...but as u r putting it....putting a tutorial or a rom or kernel did be a sin...just coz 1-2 ppl dont like it
so dont judge my friend....its all about helping ppl on xda...if u dont like a post...be a grownup n move on...coz all u r doing is wasting ur time

n as u all wanted to make sure....xda is redefined as in ur ways...of not sharing/helping things....I have requested moderator to close the thread
so if anyone wanted to ever sync without sharing their personal info with any extra apps...then please consult all these great helpful n responsible souls who ensured that others dont share stuff which might be useful to others
Moderator please close thread...as my thread is not in new xda spirit
