I hacked contract killer zombies 2 with game unlocker and after some buys it tells me -517 coins,then i delete the app the cache the obb file and recopy it show then after i open it without using unlocker it still says -517 coins,so what im asking is it there a folder on system where it could save anything a file save or something to delete it?
That was a stupid question for this forum......
Thanks,why is that,where am i supposed to post a thread like this,i though someone with better knowledge about android could answer it,the main question is if there is a place in root of phone memory that apps store files,and where is it to delete them myself since they were not by uninstalling the app itself,please enlighten me,what didi i do wrong.
Found a way to hack gold coins and got it to work,other persons job not mine,but when connected to internet glu finds out the hack and deletes all the coins and the ones you spend it makes them - coins,reuplying the hack works offline,dont got why this question had nothing with android development in general but it was a tricky way to make it work,please romwiz stop being so arogant there are people who dont know that much of android,just asked for help cause i love this game.

Its out now, anyone seen it yet?
This should help out a lot...hopefully next we can move apps to the mem. card.
just found that you can view the app data by going to system and then to apps.
you think if we were to make a app folder on the mem. card they would run? im going to play around and see what happens
well the manager at the moment only lets you view the files. I have tired multiple times to cut and paste program files onto the mem. card but with no luck. possibly the second file manager program will have all of the bugs out of it.
but....
do you think if we had a system/app file on our mem. card the phone would pull the apps off of our card? just trying to get things rolling here so we can get everything FINALLY on our cards and stop wasting all of our phone memory.
THANKS
I don't think so... but could be wrong. I noticed the card only has "media" folders nothing yet is stored on the card really.
ya i noticed that as well....hopefully this is a step in the right direction. once we can actually view ALL files and are able to move things around then things should start to get interesting.
what if we were to somehow make a shortcut to tell the phone where the app is? so only the command to the app on the memory car would be on the phone. it would be a VERY small size file on the phone compared to the entire app...think this may work?
I doubt we can ever be able to move or view all files. Google set it up so our version is locked down and no one can get root access.

No root? Oh Google, and you said you opened the platform but forgot to give us the root password

Platform is open... it is the provider who locks the platform so that you can't do just anything you want. IE steal their my faves app code or some such code they find secretive.

True words. Sometimes I think that openness and mobile operators are two incompatible things. You should be watching the presentation of G1 organized by T-Mobile. All was going good until the audience was able to ask questions. The questions were about operator restrictions on the device and locking. The general mood of the presentation went down after it...
With the source code available, can't the developers just compile a new version of the software to run on the G1 which is not locked by the operator/carrier?
Don't know much about developing but just wondering what it is that really stands in the way?

A good developer that knows what he/she is doing is what is standing in our way. This is all new so it will take time for developers to first look at the code and start building. And more time to perfect their talents on this new device and OS.
I'll give props to this program for it's functionality that should have been native.
At work I had a customer who had a bad version of a ringtone he made with Ringdoid and needed to delete. Aside from refer him to edit the SD via USB (which I cannot even do yet w/o swapping devices).
I had him d/l the Android File Manager and use that to locate and delete. Made it easy and only took 2 mins d/l time included.
Based on the good start, this might become the default file manager I use once more options become available within it. (especially the open ability - and a select all would be nice).
android file manager or glance
any ideas? which one do you think is better?

At the moment Glance because it looks as thou Android File Manager is now just for the SD Card I can't seem to access anything else.
Hi,
if I try to install a payed app (which I don't paied), my rooted G1 says it isn't possible to install thie application on this phone. Is there a way to install it? On my Iphone there's an app called Appsync with wich it is possible to install every app or game, even if it isn't for free!
So, my case:
- Got some apk-files (most application to buy)
- Copy them onto my sd card
- try to install it, without success!
So, is there a way it works?
Thanks for answers!

If you install paid apps that you didn't pay for, your phone will blow up, your favourite cat will jump out of a twelfth-floor window, and your mother will cry herself to sleep.
...or not. But I hope you're not asking for help pirating apps.
In any case, you probably just need to go into the apps settings and enable Unknown Sources. Again, please do not engage in piracy. Piracy deprives the developers who make the apps of money that puts food on their table. Literally.
I'm pretty sure you can get a warning/ban for asking however,
Some paid apps have protection, be a supporter and buy em, the devs aren't even charging crazy amounts like *cough* apple lol
Im pretty sure this is against the rules, and without the error i couldn't help you if i wanted to.
How much can the app be? if you like it alot, support the dev!

How about you take your questions on this matter to the site you "got" your apps from and ask them???
I do not wanna read any more questions about how to install apps from the market.
Next occurrence will result in a temp ban
Thanks
Say I download an *.apk file from some site or I get one from a friend, could it potentially harm my phone, cost me money etc.? Basically what I'm wondering is, when I install an app it generally says what the app has/wants access to, is this "warning" coded by the programmer to tell the user what it's accessing or is it determined automatically by built in functions? I don't want to install and app that has access to stuff that I'm not aware of.
Regards,
B
Edit: On a second note. Say I do download some harmful application, would uninstalling it solve the problem or could there be remaining harmful files still at work? The whole Android OS is sorta worrying me...bad experiences with Windows is making me cautious.
if you can think of it
there can always be a chance of happening
yes, a malicious hacker could do something like that
yes, a pissed programmer might including something like that into their apps to stop people from sharing their apps without buying it
yes, the apk might be legit but might have been corrupted some how
yes, you might be able to uninstall if lucky
but worse case scenario if i were a malicious hacker i wouldn't code a way to uninstall the app, instead i'll probably code a way to lock the user out of all access forcing you to Flash the phone from scratch
You didn't really answer my one major question, or maybe you did but I didn't understand. Are the services that the app is able to access programmed or are they determined by a function?
Well when installing I've resorted to checking a few things:
1) Make sure the app that I've downloaded is the same size as the one in the market (for equivalent versions...obviously)
2) Compare the system permissions when installing with those found at www.androlib.com
This way seems pretty safe to me. If the size is the same and the permissions are the same...you can be quite (not 100%) certain that they are legit/the same.
Ok heres the deal. Apps have 2 types of access.
1. Standard permissions
So if u don't do adb-install (where u dont see an app's permissions), then market / copy to sdcard and install from there u'll see the permission screen. An app cannot do something w/o permissions. If an uninstaller is askin for email permissions u know somethings wrong.
2. Root
Most dangerous. An app will ask u for 0 standard android api permissions. But when u run it, u will be asked for a superuser allow/deny request. From their its up to you. An app could do anything behind the scenes from tht point.
So read reviews/ user comments before trying root apps. Standard apps, just look over the permissions thts all.
FYI : The permissions are read by android, they're not user defined. Any permissions will always show up when installing it using the native package manager.
To be honest I wouldn't advise downloading an .apk from a non-trusted source. If its on the market, you're near certainly ok, and if its from a trusted developer (say from these boards, or some other similar dev portal) then again, you are likely to be ok. In the second case, you are unlikely to be getting a finished app if you get a straight apk from boards, because when they are finished or at least solid, they go to the app store anyway, so harm in that case is more likely to be of the force close variety rather than bricked variety.
Outside of that, I can't see why you would get an apk from a friend rather than downloading it yourself, simply because that way it makes certain you get a clean, non-corrupted version. If apps don't show up in the market for you, its mostly because your device can't run them, in which case, again, force close.
Uninstalling it is possibly too late. All smartphones suffer this issue though.
As mentioned, if you get the files from market though, you are likely to be safe..
Also, not all melicious programs are obvious..

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you.
Btw, just because security on App store says an app can do stuff like make phone calls etc, doesn't mean it's malicious.
A few people were misled by an article that stated that apps with such extreme permissions were malicious, but it's untrue. It isn't always the case, but if an app uses functionality you don't believe it should, it's possible it is dodgy

Aye, I know. Thanks for the advice. I've actually been comparing any app I download off the internet to the actual ones on the market (size and permissions).
Hi everyone im a noob member to the site but have read some interesting threads before membership but as usual joining when i have a problem that needs some of your help
I have had a .apk file download to my htc desire running 2.2.2. I was browsing pics of the fake kind when it started downloading. i did see some letters and numbers before the file ext. It is not an official .apk that im sure off. I have searched for it on my phone but cannot find it to delete .
can anyone help please
After hooking up htc to my pc by usb lead, I have managed to locate the file by searching. It was in the download folder, I deleted it via the pc and then did a factory reset on htc.
Would this get rid of it safely
HI everyone,
I been searching and there is some threads but I still cant decide on this.
I'm basically looking for the best and most reliable app that i can use to lock and hide away my secrets (files folders pictures video etc)
I'm willing to pay up to $5 for it. And if its free and good I will still pay for the full version as long as it doesn't let me down.
Thanks in advance
Try Vaulty in the market. There is a free and donate version of this and so far, it doesn't let me down. It even hides your files from the file manager (it moves the files to it own sub dir i think).
thanks for that info... vaulty is great except the icon is so catchy... as soon as u see it (girls) they just wanna open it OMG love heart what is it lol
Check out RR File Locker. Similar to Vaulty, but encrypts your private files also, so even with root access, the files are inaccessible without your password.
So first wanna say im not doing anything illegal i just wanna know if a back up a apps .apk and the folder thats in the obb "com.wb.lego.marvel/main.1062.com.wb.lego.marvel.obb" for example. and save them reset my tab then install the apk and restore the folder. can google tell its mine that i paid for it. so i dont get blocked say if the app needed to go online just wondering cause some games are like 1gb+ which takes time on my connection to dl
