[Q] Wondering if this is possible: [Making Server-sided game "offline"] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, this is my first time posting here, although I read a bit here and there prior to registering.
I was wondering if it was possible to make a server-sided RPG game "offline". At first glance I thought it would be impossible, but after some consideration I came up with the following hypothesis:
1. Connect to the game server normally, then download the necessary files required for the game from the server.
2. Create my own "server", or put those files into the game's APK itself so it doesn't need to connect to the server. Here I would have to edit some of the APK's files to make the game connect to my own "server" rather than the official one.
3. Run and test the game to see if it works.
So my question is: Is this even possible? If so, is it safe/legal to download files from the game's server? Has anyone attempted to do so before? If it is not possible, is there any other way to bypass the online connection and make a pseudo-server for myself?
You may ask why I want to do this. The reason is because I do not have access to internet connection 24/7 to play this game. I also want to learn about how Android apps work since I am a complete noob at the moment.
Thanks to anyone who reads/replies to this.

[Q] Sync files between PC, Android and Cloud automatically

Hi guys,
that is a problem that has bothered me for a long time and I'd really like a solution to this.
I'll start with an example:
Say, I have a folder on my PC. It contains subfolders and mostly but not only pdf files. I want to have that data on my Tablet/Phone too. But I don't want to have to transfer it through a USB cable or something similar. I want to have a two-way sync, so when I edit something on my PC / tablet, I want to change the file on the other device too.
And, most importantly, I want it to work in the background. I don't want to open an app on my tablet and tell it to download a folder, I just want it to see, what has changed and download that content LOCALLY.
Sure, that eats up space but I don't have that many documents.
I hope, I made my point clear, so is there anyone who can help or has any advice on how to achieve that?
Thanks in advance!.
Don
You can use dropsync pro to do 2 way sync in the background, on a schedule, or auto-detect changes.

[Q] Jar files on Android

Hey, guys!
Yesterday, I suddenly got a vibe, and felt like playing "The Big Roll In Paradise" game from Symbian60v5. So, I read an online tutorial to convert my SIS files to JAR files, and then those JAR files into APK files.
So, I got a JAR file of Real Football 2010, and tried to emulate it with a variety of Java emulators such as phoneMe, JBed and J2Me Runner. But still, the maximum I am able to reach is to the Gameloft logo...
Does anyone, *anyone* on here care about playing Symbian games on their Android phones? Would anyone be willing enough to take up the job?
I know I'll get flared by the experienced members for even asking such a question, but then, I'm really missing some of the Symbian games which aren't available for Android or iOS..
BTW, if someone wants to know about the source, here you go:

Bump-ity Bump! Could anyone please possibly help me? I'd highly appreciate it!
Hiya did you hear anything onthis? Ive been missing the big roll in paradise too! Shame its made by nokia and not another developer :-/
Nope... Nothing. It's a superb game. One worth paying a huge amount of money. Unfortunately, couldn't find a way around this... Do you know anything about it?
1. With your JAD & JAR files, go to: Get APK and convert to an APK file
2. Save your APK file onto your SD card
3. Install Java J2ME Runner App
4. Using AppManager, install the created apk file from your SD card
Your file should be found both in your main folder; as well as in the J2ME's "App Manager". You may need to play with the configuration to get the program to fit alright. I have Auto detect Game Canvas clicked; but have had to change it for a few games...
It's not perfect, but it seems to work alright with some of my old java games.

[Q] Streaming on Andriod (via VLE)

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and if I have posted anything wrong or annoyed anyone, please let me know nicely.
Background:
I am very new to andriod (have not used it before) and I am very interested in learning to use it very well (including rooting it). I can write some programming language but I am not familiar with java or anything as fundamental at all, but I am sure I can learn it.
At the moment, I am planning to buy a nexus 7 to build up my android experience simply because it is not expensive and it should run the latest available Andriod being a google device.
Question:
At the moment, I am studying for a professional qualification (with BPP), and their online VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) is extremely annoying on browser, what is even more annoying is that they have "security" to the online streaming lectures, I cannot download them (even with softwares) nor stream them on tablets.
I was wondering if streaming these videos would be possible on a (moded) android? - I have put as much details of the type of streaming below
Dilemma:
Another totally off topic question is regarding nexus 7 2. Should I wait? I was thinking of just buying a 2nd hand or refurbed nexus 7 first and then cut the loses and buy the 7 2 when it comes out. Opinions on this would also be appreciated!
Reference:
Details regarding the videos - this is from their FAQ regarding the videos:
If you still cannot launch the online lectures please run the three diagnostic tests linked to below. Allow each test to complete and then take a screen shot of each result screen. Paste each screen shot into a single document and upload the document with the screenshots when you submit your issue to us using our Contact Form. Some of the tests may take a minute or so to run. Please wait until either 'Test Completed' appears or the flowplayer spinning circle is replaced with an image.
Check your bandwidth using the bandwidth speed test
We use a high compression ratio to make the size of our online lecture files as small as possible. However, to prevent poor quality there is a limit we can go to. This means that anyone launching one will need a minimum download speed of 512kbps. If you have less, then you may not get smooth playback. Carry out a bandwidth speed test to check what your download speed is.
Check you have streaming access using the protocol test
We use RTMPE and RTMPTE protocols to securely stream video to your browser. RTMPE is tried first. If this fails then we try to use RTMPTE. One of these protocol types needs to be enabled. This may be the reason why you can't see anything load. To test for these two protocols please run the protocol test.
The last test is the port test
The ports used for streaming are ports 80, 1935 (TCP) and your default port (normally set to 443). If they are not open for the streaming servers we use then you won't be able to see the lectures. To test the ports please run the port test.
If you need more info please ask - I am very keen to get this working, as I will need it for the next 3 months...
Thank you all very much in advance
Hi guys, could anyone help me please?

[Q] Can you root using a windows emulator on an android tablet

Ok, i was looking through a few possible ways of doing this. I own 2 Asus Transformer TF300T's and a TF101. Bot of my TF300T tablets have the keyboard docks. I saw a few different Windows OS emulators for android devices and was wondering if, due to not having an actual computer to use, I could actually use a Windows OS emulator on my TF300T to root another device? I know it is a long shot, but I would like to know what the developers on here think about it and also, if it actually could be done, and how the best way to do this wuld be.
I see a lot of views, but no possible answers. The dock i have has USB port as well. Or maybe no one has a possible answer or has not tried it yet?
Another reason I ask is because my android phone, when pluged into my usb port on my keybord dock allows me to use it as a storage device. I was thinging that a windows emulator would take it one step further and allow me to actually root a device, if done properly. Plus, I did download the windows emulator that is in the play store, the good one. I am actually going to download a Windows XP img file and try and see how well it would run on my talet, but if all goes well, I wanted to try and root an android device with it. I just dont want to brick the device or screw it up somewhere along the line. If someone could give me some examples or if they know the best steps to take regarding this, please let me know.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Still nothing on this? well, i did find the one emulator app on the play store, but getting an OS to load up is causing me some issues....
I know this is super old but sparked my interest enough to do a simple goto search... youtube. Just remember it is at your own risk and could possibly not work out and losing function of your device is a possibility.. Also I don't recommend follow links in the discriptions.. I tend to get program names and do my own research (GitHub) for downloads..

Amiibo Kiosk (commercial grade android tablet) need help installing apk

I cant for the life of me get this to install anything at all. I load the apk onto the sd card in the required name folder (or even usb) and it doesnt seem to pick up on it or understand that there is a file there. I can get into the CSR menu, but theres limited functionality. Ideally, I just want to have it like a regular tablet, play store, play music, etc. Does anyone have one of these and have any luck with it? I would really appreciate it! I believe its a DUCOS?
Figured it out, made a guide here:
