Hi All,
Am getting a bit desperate, as I've never before found a problem that has *absolutely* no result in even the most generic google/forum search.
Was running SDMaid on my Galaxy S5 (SM-900F; 4.4.2) and one of the .tmp files it came up with was named 'store_file.tmp' sitting in the 'root/data' directory. It was a whopping 1.81gb!
Have been trying to figure out if this is something I can safely delete or not, but even the most generic search of the filename on Google or the various android forums doesn't give me a single appropriate hit! The file hasn't been modified for a couple of weeks, but there's really no suggestion as to what program generated it. Have tried copying it to my PC and opening with verious text/hex editors, but none of them want to have anything to do with a file that size.
Has anyone come across this before? Any idea where it originates?

[Q] Where are file extensions such as ".mp4" and ".mp3" located in an .apk?
I know it might be hard to understand the way I try to explain this conundrum but I've been up all night trying to figure this stuff out myself to no avail. I'm trying to rip the assets from a particular game/application (SONIC CD), and after decompiling it's contents via apktool, I'm greeted with pretty much nothing but .smali files. However, opening some of these reveal paths that are non-existent and files that cannot be found in any of the folders extracted. Pretty much all of them are scripts aside from the icons (.pngs) and a couple .xmls. Opening up "VideoActivity.smali" in the soniccd folder shows that they exist within the data I've ripped but I cannot find them.
Can anyone lend me a hand here? :fingers-crossed:
Okay so I downloaded everything as per the tutorial as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 . I have searched several different sites and many different threads, almost finding my answer. My problem is that when I download the files they show up as image files and not tar. I am having some sort of problem with .tar file name with Odin. I found several links of how to, and great info but none of them are solving my problem. I found a link that almost had what I needed to fix it or was in the right direction, but somehow lost it or closed it. When searching using pda, the files do not appear in the file folder. For some reason they show as images in the file on my desktop. This is before and after extracting to see if either way made a difference. I even re-downloaded the links and they still show as image. I even tried typing it in manually it seemed to find the file but still did not work. I am using winrar one of the links I found said to try win7 or something but I couldnt get that to work either. I just want to root my new toy. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Bump
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?
I know we’ve seen variations on this question, but my issue is a bit different, and none of what I can find has been able to help me.
I was doing a backup straight through CWM, when it failed towards the end and I can’t seem to find it anywhere, and I’m left with only 32m of space. I’m using ES File Explorer, I’ve been to all of the suggested locations, but I’m simply not finding it. I can’t find a Clockworkmod directory at all – even doing a full on search from the root directory.
I went back to CWM’s advanced backup feature and it lists it, so I know it’s “there”.
I’ve cleaned the caches and my space is still sapped.
One thing I have noticed is that ES File Explorer isn’t requesting superuser privileges, but it can still see the root. Is it in some hidden directory and I’m just not able to get it because of the superuser thing?
And something else that might be an issue. I’ve got SDCard\0\0\0\0\0 But I’ve been through each of them in the “Media” directories and have not found it. (That whole nested 0 thing is another question I’ll be posting tonight.)
Thanks for any help on this.
I solved the problem. My stupidity was to blame. Didn't realize that ES file explorer's options were scrollable past "Settings". Found the view hidden files option there.
Hi Guys
First of all excuse me for posting here as I am far from a developer but you are the only ones who can help me with this.
Yesterday I was trying to download a file from Facebook, and it would download but then i could not find it anywhere, even plugged my phone to the computer and did a search and nothing. So I kept trying to download it.
Thing is today I used this password storing app and went to open my file where i have stored all my passwords (nothing to do with what happened yesterday).
And in most recent downloads i saw the 10 duplicates of the files i had downloaded yesterday, and this app gives me the path for example
content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/5412
how can i delete them having the path for each one?
thank you so much
