I usually download my apks in my computer and send them to my phone so I could archive them or send them to friends easily. The problem is, their file names are very long and hard to read in the phone. If I rename the apk files, would it affect installation-wise, ie it will install as another 'version' of that app. So let say if i installed a renamed apk and update it with another version of the same app, would it interfere?
First off I have nothing to do with the creation of this tool I'm merely sharing what I've found.
Anyone who has dug into smali files knows that they can be somewhat overwhelming and trying to track down a problem can be a time consuming nightmare. One thing I do to hunt down a problem is compare what I know to be working against what is broken so I was sitting here today thinking that I would write a script or create a tool to batch compare files then I said to myself "EB, you're not the first one that's wanted to do this so there must already be something." I fired up Google and sure enough there are a few. The one that I found that is free and handled my task can be found here http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm
Quick tutorial;
1. Download the file.
2. Create a new folder (anywhere you want)
3. Extract the contents to your new folder
4. Place the items you want to compare in that folder (they can be anywhere really but it's simpler to have them in the same directory.)(For my purposes I de-compiled the classes.dex of two framework.jar files and moved the entire output files to this directory in two separate folders.)
5. Run the program
6. Select File
7. Select either Compare Directory (what I did for my purpose) or Compare files. A dialogue box will pop up where you select the 2 sources that you want to compare.
Now this tool will only output what files are changed. There are other tools out there that can do more but I like the ones that are free. At least with this I can scan hundreds of files at once and see where I need to begin
if you want to search for code in multiple files and what not else,
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
has a great program for that
You can search inside the files of a whole folder if you want to....pretty cool
Every time i try to copy large files to my s3(internal storage)i get smthing like that ``device was unpluged or disconnected``and i cant copy large files...i have all drivers installed
Hello all. I recently bought Final Fantasy IV and was disappointed to find there was no language setting in the game that I could find. Ideally, I would like to play with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Launching normally under USA locale plays English vocals and subtitles. I was afraid that the Play store variant would only come with English audio, but I found by changing my Nexus 7 language settings to Japanese, that it would in fact contain and play with JP audio and JP subtitles. I can't understand why , this being the case that there isn't an easy in application language switching option that I can see.
All the components are there. Does anyone know how I could somehow edit the files to play JP audio and English subs? Copy the JP audio track to the English version of the game seems the most straightforward , if I could figure a way to do it. Anyone have ideas for this process? Programs I will need to unpack the apk or game data and edit what needs to be etc...? Thanks.
To th ebest of my knowledge, it appears that I'll probably need to unpack the .obb file somehow. The .apk is small. Does anyone know of an suitable utilities to unpack and repack/sign if need be .obb an/o .apk firles?
I've seen a few posts on the forum suggesting that I simply rename the .obb to .zip, .rar etc... and it will simply be able to be extracted. Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case. I've been attempting to use 7zip to extract the archive with a number of renamed file types and every time it claims that it doesn't seem to be a valid archive etc.... Others have suggested 7zip works for this in other cases, but I'm not sure why it is failing now. Do I need to use a specific program to see if it is a valid archive?
Edit: I also tried with WinRAR and to no effect - the same problem where it reports that there is no archive present etc...
At the moment I'm trying this with an edited/sideload ready version of FFIV 1.2.3 (which has both the .apk file of a few megabytes and the .obb of a few hundred megabytes), at least until I can pull the exact copy off my device. I'd really appreciate any insight. What do I need to open/extract the .obb and why is it not appearing with 7zip? Thanks.
I'm going to try and get another copy of the files from another source (pulled directly from my Nexus 7 or Nexus 4) onto my Windows PC etc...

Huh... I'm not sure how to help you too. Just a simple beginner. But using .zip or .rar worked for me. Just that the file names were all long and weird. Also, every file appears as a .file extension
open obb file
Hi,
did you tried to open *.obb using "jobb" application from Android SDK?
Hello I am looking for any android app that can automatically move files from one folder to another as soon as the source folder gets a file.
So to auto move files from Source to Target.
And if it cant do it soon as a file is created in Source then one that can do it on a timer, for instance every 5 minutes to check that folder and if files exist to move it to another folder.
I had to ask, I installed so many crap app even old ones that arent even in the store anymore, I feel like I missed it, and maybe one of you guys know of an app that is perfect for what I am trying to do.
I am rooted so even if I have to run some script? (IDK much about that) but hey im willing to try.
