[TOOL] Online .apk installer (for the real newbie's)

Today a friend of mine wanted to install a .apk file on his Android phone and he did not have a clue on how to do this.
So.. After some hours PHP coding here I created an online tool for him (and other newbies).
Basically the users selects the .apk he wants to install, and points his Android camera to the given QR code.
Please have a look at http://bit.ly/e4mLXu , and let me know what you think.
Some things like About and FAQ are still missing, but will be added later this week.
Thank you.

It's a good concept but the site layout is so unnecessary, you don't need all those unneeded images and links in the website that has nothing to do with its function.

Thank you for your input.. I guess that I did go over the top a bit on the design.... But I was really in my zone when doing the page layout
I'm re-doing it at the moment, and I will try to keep it as KISS as possible.
Once again thank you for your input.

Awesome idea. A friend of mine just got her first Android phone, and is pretty clueless about installing APKs, even though I rooted her phone and walked her through it with Root Explorer. This will make it much simpler for her.

Good idea! Can save some time. It`s already saved in my favorites!

file manager, astro..
this is for first class rookies

Sorry but have I missed something here??
Why on earth would ANYBODY really actually need to use this? (no offence) Has your friend lost the plot?
Why would you go through all this instead of simply installing a file manager liek ASTRO via the market?
a) Copy apk to sd card/phone
b) install ASTRO File Manager from market.
c) Install apk
How difficult is that?
If I have missed something here please explain because I cant think of any scenario where this would be an advantage.

I have not looked at it yet, but this allows you to do it without connecting the phone to the pc right?
Logical order for your instructions
a) Install ASTRO File Manager from market.
b) Copy apk to sd card/phone
c) Install apk
repeat steps b and c for other .apks

It is a great idea,and nicely done. but i will stay with the other method.

i think its great especially when you forget your usb cable, i never leave home with out but i forgot it, surfing thru xda and didnt feel like opening xda app on phone just download upload install, also, when paw server is down i guess, nice work.

Oops... The site is getting a lot of attention at the moment as it made the XDA's frontpage!
I guess that it's time to start putting together a FAQ for the site.

Err how is that any more "logical" then what I said?
It doesn't make a difference which way around you do a&b so one order isnt any more or less logical then the other.
Your logic fails

Ok so if you where not at home and didnt have a USB cable, you could simply email the apk to yourself or use your friends card reader/card slot/dongle etc. There are a million different ways that are much quicker then this. Not trying to dis OP/site etc just suprised that this has been made front page news?

I love how quickly people try to smash an idea just cause it's not their way...what if the user doesn't have a file manager installed? Left their USB cable? Doesn't want to login to a webmail account for security reasons? There are tons of reasons to use this...I say scale it up, and somehow work out longer time periods for the QR codes (Maybe only for registered users?)...besides, it's always nice to have some functional PHP code that could be used in other projects.

I just used this and it is awesome! thank you thank you thank you!

sorry, but its useless. also harder and takes longer time than just copying to sd.

not everybody gets the idea of Astro/File manager.
this is just another way to get to the goal.
sometimes, even if you try to show them a better way of doing things, they still prefer another way which may seem not logical/takes a longer time.
This is a neat idea. it might not appeal to everybody, but it may help somebody.

I don't get this either. I email the apk to my gmail and there's an option in Gmail on your phone for you to install the app.

Hey, i found great use for this. I downloaded a couple of APKs and needed to quickly dl them, and install them. Too lazy to connect to my computer or email it. So much faster.
One cosmetic issue: when I upload an apk the name changes to a crazy long string. Any way to shorten that? I realize you can't keep the original apk name but a simple numbering system (each new upload +1 id kind of a thing) or whatever else might work better. It's not required, but just my input love it!

niceeee!!! this is exactly what i wanted!

Moving Gameloft Game data to External SD

If you have more than one Gameloft game (which is easy when they are buy one get one at $2.99), you've probably run into the problem of not having enough space on your tiny 8GB internal SD. I personally have been fighting with ~200mbs free for the past few weeks and its been annoying me, so I decided I wanted to "fix" the problem, at least till Gameloft gets together and adds an option of where to download the app data.
My first idea was some sort of syslink or bind mount at boot between the Internal and External SD, but while I was researching this I ran into this "convertor" which modifies the apk file to install the game data to the external SD card.
Create the folder called GL on your external SD and the game data from your main folder (sdcard/gameloft/games) copy to "external SD/Gl"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am still looking for a better solution that doesnt require EVERY apk to be modified, so if you good w/ scripts or can think of a way similar to my original idea, please let me know.
Check it out and leave your feedback

Original Thread on O2X forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091455
EDIT: Confirmed working on NOVA 2 and Shadow Guardian. You MUST copy all the game data to /_ExternalSD/GL/ (make sure to remove the "games" folder if it's there, all the data needs to be in the "GL" folder. Also, confirmed it only works on games purchased from Gameloft's website, not the Android market versions.
This is how your GL folder should look on your External SD if you run ls in terminal:
ls /sdcard/_ExternalSD/GL:
GloftN2HP
asphalt6
GloftBPHM
GloftSGHP
nova

May God bless the fruit of your loins with prosperity and well being from now till his return. Bless you!
works great... except with Starfront.
EDIT: looks like starfront works.. just needed wifi to verify the files

Damn, what the hell are the people who buy the Sensation going to do when they only have a measly 1GB for appdata?

having a hard time downloading that file. It isnt working for me. I need this

People w/ the sensation are screwed and r gonna need to create scripts to move stuff SD. I successfully patched all 4 of my Gameloft games and they are working fine. Just make sure you put them in the right folder (see OP). No issues downloading the one-click patcher, but I'll see if I can get another link.
Despite this working well, Id still like to figure out a way to syslink or bind mount the gameloft folders on Internal and external sd.
EDIT: Posted mirror link in OP. Enjoy!

I did this and it worked perfectly (thanks btw!!) but all my saved game data and progress is gone this is for Dungeon Hunter 2 HD

guys - im having a problem with Data but not sure if its different - any time i download the gameloft data via wifi to my 32GB SDCard - the game crashes after the gameloft logo and asks to download the data when you restart (even if the data is already there)

Im not really sure where the save games are stored for Gameloft games. Glad to hear it works, but please let me know if you resolve this issue.

I would double-check that the folders are set up properly. it is case sensitive, so be careful. I layout exactly how the folders should be arranged in the OP. Another thing u can check is have it download SOME of the game data, and go and find it. It may help you track down the issue, (like folders arrange incorrectly). Hope that helps!

i tried to launch the program but it crashes after loading.. this is so frustrating.. i feel like going back to HTC (never had this level of problems)

This has nothing to do w/ the manufacturer of your phone. We are essentially "hacking" these games to trick it into using the external SD. You would have this exact same issue, on say, the newly releases HTC Sensation (if not worse because of the lack of space on the Internal SD). Also, I just want to point out that I doubt this will work on "cracked" apks for Gameloft, so those may cause crashes as well.
Im not very fond of hacking each APK to work, as it will eventually cause issues, and this would best be solved by syslinking or bind mounting the two folders between the internal and external SD card. Unfortunately, I dont have enough background knowledge to write the script from scratch, as it requires some kernel modification, and would have to be unique to each phone.

cm7 by default installs your games to the sdcard, but if you want your games to install on internal storage i have attached a config file that goes in /system/etc make sure to back up old one first, ps i dont know the site i got the infop off of and the re done config file it isnt my work im just letting people know here ill post in a second post since its on my phone and im using a computer

Do you have any strange side effects from using it? Did it require any modification to the files from the other thread to be used on the G2x?

I'm using trinity kernel and it was just a matter of changing fstab so no
G2x pwned, cm7 (trinity) killer combo "density 190"

Hmm, Ill have to give it a shot?
EDIT: This DOESNT work when using the files from the other thread, as it mentions its specifically for the i9003. Tried it and both SD cards cant be seen. It may need to be modified, as I looked at both files and they are completely different.

Its basically the reverse ill post the fstab file when I get home the 1 for external storage it wont let me attach from my phone so got to wait till I get home
G2x pwned, cm7 (trinity) killer combo "density 190"

Okay, I used the changed from the Samsung version and modified our vold.fstab to mount the partitions properly. Give the attached vold.fstab file a shot and see if it works. Seems to work for me Please post your feedback.
Backup your original vold.fstab file (its in /system/etc).
ADB push this file to /system/etc after mounting it as R/W (u can do it in terminal but I use the app Remount)
Reboot
Check SD "layout" in Settings
EDIT: Seems you cant mount either SD card as MASS storage after switching files :/. Anyone w/ experience feel like chiming in?

[APP][WINDOWS] Final Fantasy Dimensions Save Editor

EDIT:
I have discontinued work on this project, partially due to free time/Square Enix and their insistence on blocking the use of xposed framework. I can't be bothered to deal with having to turn off xposed and reboot every time I want play/test out the changes made with the editor. Other things in RL have also taken most of my time, so I am releasing Source Code in this post for anyone who wants to take a crack at it.
This editor was made using Visual Basic 2010
This is my first time coding my own program. It is written with Visual Basic 2010, I might switch over to C# once I learn more about it.
This requires a rooted device to work. I have an idea on how to make it work on non-rooted devices, but I do not have any that are non-rooted to test on. If you do not have root and want to test, send me a pm so I can see if we can work it out.
Let me know if you would be interested to test newer versions. I have 3 testers now, and am looking for up to 3 more.
I was inspired by the Final Fantasy III Save Editor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763729
And also by the port Kameo did of Thundaga - Final Fantasy III Save Editor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176595
This save editor is for Final Fantasy Dimensions for the Android OS. It may also work on the iOS version as well. I have not tested it, so I am not totally sure.
This program is in beta, and may contain some bugs. Please make sure to backup your save file before using. I am planning on implementing an auto backup when you save the file, however I have not gotten to that yet. Hopefully it will be ready for the next release.
I revamped the whole thing. Added a bunch of stuff. Still have not done the save backup, but it is still planned for in a future update.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: This version has a lot of improvements, but the code is very sloppy. It should work, but on my computer there is a noticeable load time. After it is loaded though, it runs fine, even switching between save slots. I am looking into learning C#, and I have a friend who is willing to help me find ways to speed it up. Hopefully the next release will run much smoother.
Current Version:
2.00 (editor says 1.0.7, forgot to change it) (beta) - 09/14/2013

######################################
TRANSFERRING SAVE FILE FROM DEVICE
######################################
You will need a Rooted Device for this (I am looking into being able to edit saves made from Carbon, but I need a non-rooted
device for testing.) I recommend using either Root Explorer (paid app) or Root Browser Lite (free app) from the Google Play
store for finding the save file, and replacing it. Either transfer the file to your SD card to transfer via USB cable,
or transfer to SD and upload to Dropbox/Box/Other Cloud Service.
The save file should be located at:
/data/data/ com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp/files/save.bin
It has also been reported to be at:
data/user/0/ com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp/files/save.bin
#################
USING THE EDITOR
#################
1. Backup current save beforehand, I have not coded in the backup script yet.
2. Choose the Open button.
3. Make whatever changes you want.
4. If you go above an allowed number (i.e. 20 for Max Job Level) it will change it to Max allowed by game.
5. Hit save.
########################################
TRANSFERRING SAVE FILE BACK TO DEVICE
########################################
Copy the file back to your SD card, and move it back to the folder you found it. Make sure permissions of the file
are set to either rw rw r or rw rw rw (the one I always use).
Changelog:
9/13/13 - 2 (editor says 1.0.7)
Fixed bugs I had here and there. I stopped working on this for awhile, as I kept having issues with Diana and Alba. Finally figured it out.
Added ability to modify any of the save slots, instead of just 1.
Added Equipment editing (this really slows down the original save file load, but once loaded it works fine)
Added F-Abilities/Abilities/Spells checkbox to max them out.
New design with current party and separated parties.
4/14/13 - 1.01
Fixed bug with Nacht's last 3 jobs.
Took out bad code for detecting if Job Level is higher than Max Job Level. Just make sure to keep it under the Max one for now until I can fix it.
Testing out Equipment editing and Maxing out Abilities/Skills. Should be ready for next release.
4/10/13 - 1.00 Initial Release

After editing and pasting the files back to /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP/files/save.bin
I start the game and get an white screen. Did i do something wrong?

That would be my fault. I copied and posted the directions from the final fantasy iii editor. It should go to
com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp folder, not ffIII
Also make sure that you have fully exited out of the game before moving the save file over. Either use a task manager to close it, or go to the app manager and choose force stop. If the game is still running it can cause problems.

I probably gonna try it out again and starting a new game then save it. Then drag the save file out then use your program to edit the gil and test it out.

Woot! I finally got it to work. I'm happy because put my time in the game and lost everything when my phone froze at boot up screen. I had to use Odin to go back to stock and re-root and took some time.
For people who are new to this. This is how I did it.
1. I'd started a new game because I had to start over. Then, saved my game.
2. Task manager and scrolled down to FFD and force stop the game.
3. Installed "root browser" so i get get access to FFD save file. Open root browser clicked on /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp/files
4. Copy "save.bin" from that folder and place in your extSD or sdcard.
5. Open "Final Fantasy Dimensions Save Editor" and Open the copy of save.bin. Example change Gil from 300 to 999999 then save afterward.
6. Get access to root browser clicked on /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp/files. Delete the save.bin in folder.
7. Move the edit save.bin file to /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffl_gp/files.
Start game and you should be ready to go. All thanks to KeylanHalfdan for letting us use his program. Rep ++

Good to hear that you got it working.
By the way, found a bug in the editor for Nacht when editing his AP for his last 3 jobs I had the offsets wrong. It it fixed in my latest test, so it will be fixed in the next release.

I'm having a problem with a certain save file. If I open it and immediately resave it without changing anything, my characters' job levels are raised to the max JVL.
The strange thing is that I did not have this problem with some previous save files I tried. Two different conditions come to mind: This save file is of the light side characters, while the previous one was of the dark side, and now I have a 5th character, while I think I didn't have one before.
I'm adding the problematic save file in case someone wants to test it.
By the way, could you share how the checksum algorithm works?

Hmm, that is interesting. It is doing it on my end too. Not sure why. It also seems to writing to the first byte. I will have to recheck my code. I tested and it doesn't happen when Elgo was in the party, but it does with Eduardo add a frog.
Give me some time to check it out and I will get back to you.
EDIT:
Not sure why the code was not working. It should only change the Job Level to the same as Max when it is higher than it. It was allowing me to put 1, 2, 10-19, but 3-9 would change it to the max. I removed the check for now, so be careful not to put in a number higher than the Max. It should be working other than that. Also added the fix for Nacht's jobs in this release.
Equipment and Max Abilities/Skills should be soon. Equipment is in testing, and I am in the process of coding the Max Abilities/Skills checkboxes.

I grinded some AP, changed jobs, and tried editing the save file again. The bug did not reappear.
Then I played some more, and the bug started happening again, but only with the first character.
I noticed the first byte getting changed too. I thought it was intentional, but since you mentioned it, I guess it wasn't. It seems to be harmless anyway. The game overwrites it as soon as you save again.

Was it messing up for the first character with the old editor, or the new one?

That's good to hear.
Currently working on new version. This will allow for editing all characters at once (including temporary characters), as well as equipment. Also it has a button to have all skills (Holy blade, bardsong, dragon arts), f-abilities, and abilities (including debug abilities).
The main code for all these parts is done, I am just working on getting them to all work together. Hopefully within a week version 2 will be ready for testing by my testers.
Still looking for more testers if anyone is interested.

Item editing will be a lot of coding. There are 510 different item possibilities, and I haven't yet tried to determine Max number of slots, but I know it is a lot. I plan on doing it, but it will be one of the last things I do.
The equipment editing will be available soon though.

Woah sounds like a headache ! No rush a flawless program on the advertised functions is better than one that's sketchy and has a lot of features !

Confused with error
Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me using this application. I do the entire process (move save.bin to windows, change values, move back to save folder, etc) but when I run the FFD app, the screen just stays blank (white) and no music or graphics are shown. I've tried using different types of these save editors on FFD and it always does the same thing. The only way to get the game working again is to restore it using Titanium Backup, I was hoping someone here would have some insight on the problem.
Thank you for any help you can give me!

I am not sure, I have never had that happen before.
Are you force stopping the game (either through a task manager of the app manager) after saving, or just hitting the home button?
Are you overwriting the save game in the save folder, or deleting the old one and then putting the new one in?

Well:
I force close the app in the task manage and I am overwriting the save game. I tried deleting the old one then putting the new one in, but same error persists.
Any ideas?

Since you didn't mention it in the op... I will assume that you're probably forgetting to re-change the file permissions AND ownership when you place the file back to the original directory.
It seems no big deal but I have seen too many ppl mistakenly change the ownership to another app than the right one and things get messed up!
Use the other file to guide you on which permissions are required and which app owns the file!
Btw: I've finished the game already but messing around with the gil and AP sure saved me a lot of time! Thank you op!

Location of save game for Beach Buggy Racing?

I just got a new tablet and am trying to copy over my save game files from my phone. I can't find them. The dev is called Vector Unit, and I have found a couple directories (e.g.: /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/com.vectorunit.purple.googleplay) but there's nothing in them. Yes, I do have root access and am using it.
Does anyone know where these save files are located? I'd certainly appreciate it.

These are in /data/data/<package.of.application> if I'm not wrong
Otherwise, you can use titanium backup; it's easier

Thanks. It looks like you're right but only on my phone, it's not there on my tablet. Different version of BB Racing though, and also using Mashmallow and I think that's screwed with things somewhat. I'll figure it out.
Not comfortable with using Titanium Backup though, it wants way more permissions than I'm willing to give to something closed-source.

Login with Google play games account in the game and it will save your progress in the cloud.
