Find cached files? - Android Apps and Games

Hey
So i just got the Blizzard Authenticator from the Android Market, i know it's storing an xml file that has a token and some other information, i was wondering if there is any way i can find out where that file might be?
I want to find the file, because in that way i can sync the key between my computer and phone
Cheers
-Jazerix

It would most likely be in /data/data/package name/shared_prefs, where package name is the name of the apk (probably something like com.blizzard.authenticator).

Thanks for your reply, but when i check out the data folder, it's completetly empty
Is there any other way i can trace the file path?
P.S. i'm using a Nexus S with CyanogenMod
Edit: I'm able to find something on the SD Card (/sdcard/Android/data), but there is no file regarding the mobile authenticator

Ok, so i just bought Root Explorer, and the folder is no longer empty cheers, found the files ^^

Where is the .zip file I downloaded?

Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded

[Q] Writing a file back to a Marketplace apps Isolated Storage?

Hi All,
I've used Heathcliff's WP7RootTools 0.9 to extract a file from an installed apps IsolatedStorage. The app in question was installed from the Marketplace, but I want to modify some of the files it's saved to it's Isolated Storage.
I extracted the file I wanted to edit by using the Explorer utility in WP7RootTools to copy the file to the "My Documents" folder, and renamed the extension to docx. From there I could simply go into the Office Hub, where the file was now listed, and emailed the file to myself.
I have made the edits to the file, but now need to get the file back into the app's Isolated Storage. This is where I have now got a bit stuck
I've tried copying the file to SkyDrive, and using the Office Hub to download it from SkyDrive to my phone. The file downloaded and is cached on the phone somewhere, but the file location, according to Office is not "Phone". This is normal, as Skydrive downloaded documents are not saved to the "Phone" location until you open the document and do "Save as".
I cannot of course open the downloaded file, as it isn't really a .docx file. Files loacted in the "Phone" location show up in "My Documents" in the WP7RootTools explorer. SkyDrive downloaded documents I have no idea where they are located?
Can you guys help? Does anyone know the path to location of SkyDrive downloaded items on the phone. If so, then I can easily just use the WP7Roottools Explorer to copy the file back to the apps Isolated Storage.
Is there a better way to copy a non-Office file back onto the phone?
Regards,
Micro666
You could use one of these apps:

i was going to suggest using WPV App Data Backup, but it seems i saved the Backups in the wrong location... (will fix in next release)
so,
you can use TouchXperience or WMDC Launcher.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing....
Options:
1. Do exactly what you've been doing, but save as .txt instead of .docx. The phone can still open this, even though its probably a binary file, and save it to the "Phone" location. Then you can copy it back and rename it.
2. Use an app that gives direct access to the phone's filesystem from the PC, like TouchXperience+WPDM, or Root Webserver (see my sig)+your favorite webbrowser.
3. Use any other way to get a file onto the phone, such as emailing it to yourself, using IsolatedStorageexplorer, or putting it in a XAP files and installing that file. Then move the file with WP7 Root Tools.
I recommend approach #2.

I used TouchExperience.
1.On my Fully unlocked Device(I assume you can do this with root tools), I installed a file manager that gives full access to the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24636416&postcount=23
2. I installed TouchEperience on my PC. After giving the WP7 app, Root tools rights, it should show most of the file system(on the PC) but, not all of it. So I created a new folder in \Windows (temp).
3. On the Phone, I hunted down the file I was looking for from Isolated Storage, I copied it to the \windows\temp folder.
4. Used the PC TouchExperience and browsed to \Windows\temp, there was my files, I copied them to my PC. USed the File Explorer to delete the files in my \temp folder(to make sure they were gone).
5. I edited the files, copied them back to \Windows\Temp on my device via TouchExperience on the PC. Then used the file explorer to copy them back to the Isolated Storage.
Note: The file explorer I posted a link to is GREAT, it can even edit files (basic text editor) in Isolated storage. I found a way to Cheat on a marketplace Xbox live game (didn't try others), right before the achivements, so they were really easy to get
I'm sure there is easier methods but, this worked for me...
Can I ask, what app did you try this on ?
Hope this helped...
FYI DavidinCT: Cheating XBL games is very risky. Microsoft often can detect it (for example, if you get one achievement that would have required getting another first) and they can and will permanently ban your Xbox Live account for doing so.
That all said... why didn't you just use WPDM (on the PC) to copy the file straight to the IsoStore of the app? So much easier...

To be honest, I only did it with a game that had an error when I got so far, so the final achivements of the game. A Game with a Known issue but, no fix.
And I just really wanted to see if I COULD do it...
I used WPDM but, the PC version even with my phone fully unlocked (custom rom on my VZW HTC Trophy) and using Root tools 0.9 to give full to TouchExperince root, would not see all the folders and would not see the IsoStore. SO I had to copy the files to a folder that WMDM could see.
Personally, the new File Explorer above is awsome, it's even got a editor in it, I didn't even need to go through all that......

Saved File using Hancom HWord (Factory) and Now Can't View/Access File

So, I edited a word doc from an email, using the built-in Hancom HWord viewer/editor. I used Save As from the menu. I wasn't paying attention to the file path and just added a suffix to the file name. Turns out I was saving in a protected folder. HWord cannot be opened directly from the Applications on the phone, but only by opening a Word doc from email, etc., but that doesn't present an Open option.
So, since I can't open the app and get an Open option, and because the file is in a protected folder, I can't get to this file.
The only method I've found out there for rooting my phone involves deleting the phone. Not an option when all I need to do is get to the file and copy it somewhere else.
I tried installing the latest HWord, and of course it does not have access to the original HWord's folder.
Do any of you know a method I can get to the file? Again, just need to copy it to a readily accessible folder.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hey, thank you. I already lost the audios, but I will keep in for the future!
hello
Hello! I've managed to get the .stb files. How on earth does one open these? I'm guessing there must be some sort of encryption?
I'm trying the same thing here but I can't find the files when I look in the storytel folder, it's empty. Did you guys do anything other than just looking up the files in the files manager system?

Hi. Did you find any solution for converting .stb files to .mp3
Hi. Bumping. Is there a way to convert Storytel books to mp3 or any other non DRM audio codec?
Also, does anybody know where are these files stored on iOS (jailbroken)?
It seems .stb files are DRM encrypted and it could be impossible.
The .stb files are encrypted by DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding method. (From source) Full decryption done in client side. Decryption is possible. Any good reverse engineer can do the job.

The thread is 2 years old. Do you mean you are a so called "good engineer" that you have done it or it is legal. :laugh:
Not able to find the storytel app data location
I am still not able to find the location. The app data folder under the Android folder has empty folders, no data. I have download 22 books (around 2.3GB) Internal memory has been used but not able to find the Storytel app data. Please help someone.
still no working premium modded version for this application without an account?
Interested
Maybe the easiest solution is to use some kind of ripper?
It is a very common problem among all the audiobooks that you cannot download them with the help of an MP3. You just need the right audiobook and right MP3 that will match with it. I would recommend you see on selfpublishedwhiz.com more information about the audiobooks. How much does it cost to create one, and maybe you will find there the answer at your question.

how to edit packages.xml

Hello, hopefully I am posting in the correct section.
I want to give my phone app access to write and delete files on my SD card, but unfortunate Android remove this ability in newer android versions, so I found the following thread.
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ccess-to-external-storage-to-an-app-in-nougat
When I plug the phone into computer, only three folders is found in /data, the system folder is missing. Why ain't all folders shown when accessing through computer?
I found the packages.xml file in using root explorer, which showns all files, I opened it, but I have no idea how to edit it.
Can someone give me a general instruction on how to edit the package.xml?
Thanks.
