Question regarding an app's file verification check when opening the app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an offline game that does a file verification check each time you open the game. This game is a port of a PC game and as such the file structure is identical. With other games like this I have been able to use mods available on the PC version but in this case the file check is recognizing that certain files are larger(HD res models and such) and won't get past the file check. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with file checks like this and how exactly they are being performed and how I could remove them whether that be modifications to the APK, EXE, or whatever it is. Any help would be much appreciated and I'd be more than happy to provide answers to any questions you might have.

Divining application registrations

Hey guys:
Quick question. I've got a bunch of apps registered on my phone. Every time I flash a new ROM I need to reenter all of those serial numbers. I was looking at the UC customization threads to see if maybe I could just create a provisioning XML to create the appropriate registry entries automatically. Problem is don't think all the apps store their registration information in the registry.
So a couple questions:
1. I've found a good way to see registry changes (and thus figure out which keys I need to update), but I can't find the equivalent for the file system. Is there a tool that can take a snapshot of the file system on the phone, and then show diffs of the current file system with that snapshot? (That way I could figure out the additional files I'd need to copy over to make apps think they're registered.)
2. Is there another mechanism, other than registry and file system, that apps use to set themselves as registered? I couldn't think of anything... but then I'm hardly a hacker. (Even though... and correct me if I'm wrong... this is not technically hacking -- the serials are valid, I just don't want to reenter 10 of them every time I flash)
3. (And this probably belongs more in the UC thread): for some reason my provisionining file has no effect whatsoever. I've verified syntactical correctness of the file, and that cabarc can successfully create a CAB out of it. I've verified that the file is "installed" during the customization step. Yet, after a reset I see none of the changes specified in the provisionining xml. Any idea how I can debug this? Is there a log file that the config program leaves somewhere?
Thanks!

Gameloft Game

My phone version is 2.3.4 (not rooted yet) and i try to install gameloft game without downloading via wifi like this:
1) download apk and sd file
2) install apk then copy sd file to Gameloft/game/....
3) launch the game
but why it still ask for additional file download? i read some forums and people do like this and they can play that game... but why can't I? help me, please
I'm pretty sure this sort of request is against the forum rules but in case it's not I'll just say to check your directories.
i'm sorry i'm new here so i don't really understand...
Well I feel your request is kind of against the forum rules after reviewing them so all I can say is that this isn't the place to ask that question and instead you should be asking wherever you got the file from.
Basically if you don't obtain things the legit way then it's your own problem I'm afraid and has no business being on a legal forum.

open file failed

First off I will start off that I am new but I did try searching this forum and google as well. Everytime I download something either from a torrent or something from the internet, it says open file failed. Here recently i was tring to download some movies and I tried downloading bit torrent but I cant even open up the bit torrent to help me download other things. Has anyone ran into this yet?
open file failed could mean several things.
First, it could mean you dont have an application installed that is taking control of that filetype, the prime has no idea what applicaiton to open that file with.
The second is the file is corrupted and unreadable
Third it could be in use by something else and read protected
It could be several other things but unfortunately you have given us very little to go on.
What files specifically are you trying to open? .torrent files would need a torrent downloader capable of opening these files. Movies should easially open with the stock video player or MX player is what i use. If you are trying to install a .exe file you need to do some reading on differences between android and windows.
Hopefully this helps.

[Q] Need help with building CM

Hi all, I am trying to build android from source (Cyanogenmod) for my phone Sony Xpreia Pro (iyokan). I am following the instructions at wiki{DOT}cyanogenmod{DOT}org/w/Build_for_iyokan (I haven't posted a lot so I can't post URLs ). During my build I need to do one additional step. I need to pull the proprietary files from my device. This is where the problem comes in.
I found that there are 4 files which the extract-files.sh script cannot extract. This causes problem in the build process and the build process stops without completion. The files which the script cannot find are:
/system/bin/calibrator
/system/etc/firmware/wl1271-fw-multirole-roc.bin
/system/lib/libc2d2_z180.so
/system/lib/egl/libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so
I found wl1271-fw-multirole-roc.bin at "/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/" instead of "/system/etc/firmware/". Is it fine to modify the "proprietary-files.txt" to have this path instead of the "/system/etc/firmware/"? I am not sure if the functionality of both the files is same.
Also I found a file called "wlan_calibrator" instead of "calibrator" in the same location. I also found a file called libGLESv2_adreno200.so instead of libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so
Would it be fine if I change the name in "proprietary-files.txt"? Again, I am not sure if the functionality of the other files is same. I couldn't find the file called "libc2d2_z180.so"
I really don't know what to do and would really appreciate if anyone could help me on what I should be doing.

[Q] Android Phoenix LG help.

So call me paranoid, but I have a number of questions on security and log/ user monitoring. A while back I was using my neighbor's network via wifi and long story short I felt almost like my androids apparently were acting funny and since resetting it and using my own 3g network don't seem to have the same issues. I use a LG Phoenix I got new in late 2011. What are some foreign hacking files to look for? I found a file with es file explorer named monkey... long story short what are some log and user monitoring apks that let me see foreign controllers changes and information logs and if my data is going anywhere I can see where its going, and lets me fully secure my phone. Please even if I have to delete factory files my phone is rooted and I use es file explorer not much of a hacker for now. Please understand. Also is there a way to save directly to my Google Drive? Maybe even run apps with data via gdrive? What are some things to check if a hacker added programs to my phone what are some files apks etc to look for thanks. What I meant about downloads is changing my android download directory path to directly automatically by default download to my gdrive cloud, if there's a way please share. Thank You.
