I recently bought NBA League Pass Mobile on my droid and realized that every local games are blacked out. I just wanted to know if anybody is currently working for a patch to bypass the location check so we can watch all of the local games.
This is something that could be very useful in the future for other app restrictions too.
I'm no dev, but I can't see this being to much work to make a location faker app?
Looks like it's been done for the iPhone.
http://www.coderetard.com/2010/01/19/how-to-remove-nba-league-pass-restrictions-on-iphone/
Come on devs, I'd donate to whoever figured this out.
Yeah that's really the only reason I didn't purchase it. I hope someone solves this issue.
I actually bought it using some, ahem, workarounds (I don't live in the US) because I really want to support it. I have ILP in my computer, and League Pass in my iPhone (which is now my wife's and where the League Pass now works).
I'd gladly donate to whoever fixed this. I'm even willing to donate before actually having the solution (the guys who did it for the iPhone wouldn't accept donations, so I've 20 bucks I've already said good buy to).
send me this app via PM i take a look on ,but i promise nothing
hi ihave received copy of that game but is without classes.dex file in .apk if someone has full or can deodex .odex send it me via PM thnx
ANy updates?
I see its been done on the iPhone
I'll glady play anything
if i can decompile lua scripts used in this then it can be cracked,but no luck now :/
I meant glady "pay" anything (donate) sorry
Would you like the APK file, I have it
I guess its just some code that gets it to check the location now if only there was a program that can fake our phones location..
Under Application settings
then Development
there is
ALLOW MOCK SETTINGS
I thin its used by developers when making gps apps etc.. to test different locations compared to the real location
Now that sounds useful for this situation!
any updates?
boo
i phone dev wins again
sorry no luaj decompiler - no progress :/
instad of playing with the app itself
can something be done to jus tmake the phone report a different location? (during the wifi check for locaton) thats when it happens
This really needs to get hacked!!!!
bump...any updates with this?
I will donate anything
on iphone its called 'Fake Location'
working on it ,but still no luaj decompiler iam trying another way :/
I'm on board too with a donation if anyone can figure this out.
Damn these blackouts ... I want my Houston Rockets fix.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/new-licensing-service-replacing-existing-copy-protection-metho/
Looks like pretty soon the days of people copy and pasting apk's all over the place are coming to an end.
I hope this doesn't make theming harder.. We'll see.
From reading that article,
Seems like airplane mode or a firewall would crush all the hopes and dreams of google and app devs.
It seems that every time we open an app it needs to verify that it's been paid for by contacting a "licensing" server and retrieving a response.
I feel like that could slow down launch times, and being unable to use an app when offline would be like UBISOFT hell all over again.
I really hope google puts a lot of thought into this..
I wonder if this if already being done? Every time I try to play that golf game on my EVO on an airplane while the radios are off I get a FC when it starts. As soon as I an on the ground and turn the radios on the game works fine.

what if you are in an area with no signal or on a plane or something? you cant open any apps???
This is already in place in a number of apps, one is IP Cam Viewer.
I paid the money for it. I transferred all my files to my wife's Evo 4G, and thought "hell I'll see if it works..." Well it didn't. When I try to open the app, it tells me that I have to purchase it from the marketplace.
I'm all for buying apps when they're good, and I understand single user licensing. Guess I was just hoping I wouldn't have to spend double the money for all the apps I use.

I've heard of couples sharing the same email as apps get replicated on the two phone
I can confirm that they don't get replicated..

"A limitation of copy protection is that applications using it can be installed only on compatible devices that provide a secure internal storage environment. For example, a copy-protected application cannot be downloaded from Market to a device that provides root access"
...Seriously???
EDIT - the above quote was misrepresented in the place I copied from...research shows it to be misleading. the actual bit of Google's text is posted over on page to of this thread. disregard my indignation in this post...
This is discouraging, because a lot of people like to try the full before they buy it expecting more than what full has to offer, only to be disappointed later.

You do get a 24 hour refund option when you buy from the market so I'm not worried about trying before you buy. I do worry about not being able to play something when I'm in the bathroom at work because I don't get a signal there.
well how many ppl do actually piracy apps??? oh my bad forgot that this is Android, for a second i though it was apple!!
Just to clarify a couple of things:
There are 2 ways to use the Licensing - one is Strict - you CAN NOT USE THE APP WITHOUT ACCESS TO MARKETPLACE. Personally, screw that.
Option 2, however, is a non-strict policy. Server managed, where the license is 'cached' to storage. You also can programmatically set how long your app can be used without any license check.
That'd be the way i go

That'll be up to the developer. I like this approach, as I'd be happy to do say... a 5-7 day turn around on the license check. After 7 days with no data signal, seriously, where the hell are you? LOL
Besides, if you've used a paid app for 7 days, and by that time can't decide if you need it or not - wow.
And of course, as soon as you got signal again, the license check would go through and you can use the app again, no problem.
I'm sure there will be UbiSoft and EA style implementations though - way too damn draconian for my tastes. I don't care to know every single second that someone's using my app. I would just like to know that they haven't 'copied that floppy' as it were LOL
I have no doubts this will be defeated in time, though. All it would really take is mimicking the server license response, which can be extracted from the locally cached license of an actual paid product.
People that pirate software are going to do it, regardless. Don't make the honest people pay the price of draconian DRM.
The best approach I can make as a developer, is give my customers the features they want, in a stable, good performing package, and discourage 'casual' piracy. Beyond that, it's out of the developer's control, and honestly, any more than that usually just pisses off the customer and annoys the pirates for about a day and a half.
Ok...had to read the SDK paperwork as I really wanted to know this...my previous post was incorrect and here is the update...
From Google:
Android Market Licensing is a flexible, secure mechanism for controlling access to your applications. It effectively replaces the copy-protection mechanism offered on Android Market and gives you wider distribution potential for your applications.
A limitation of the legacy copy-protection mechanism on Android Market is that applications using it can be installed only on compatible devices that provide a secure internal storage environment. For example, an application using the copy-protection mechanism cannot be downloaded from Market to a device that provides root access, and the application cannot be installed to a device's SD card.
With Android Market licensing, you can move to a license-based model in which access is not bound to the characteristics of the host device, but to your publisher account on Android Market and the licensing policy that you define. Your application can be installed and controlled on any compatible device on any storage, including SD card.

Also...there are options for the Devs to allow for apps to be used a chosen number of times before they need to check in for licenses. Strict has to check in every time....other option allows dev to choose based on times used or time since last check in.
SO...all in all I am much less worried about this now.

With licensing the dev can choose whether an app can be accessed from different phones. It is an option...
(greeked...multiple times)
Question: Does that mean we won't be able to open, modify, and resign apks? Like...to change the appearance (make a widget clear, etc).
More like bad news for paying consumers. That's who always pays for everything. Those of us who actually buy the products.
I plan on speaking with my wallet. I wont buy any app that requires I have an internet connection.

Wait so according to google us rooted folk couldn't download copy-protected apps before now?
Urrr, i think im missing something
This is actually a nice implementation for both the software developer and the user. Most will implement this where it only has to check-in every week or two. So the odds of getting caught in a spot where there is no connection is low.
At the end of the day, it is a pretty straightforward way to handle copy protection that really shouldn't inconvenience anyone.
Also it will bring more developers to the platform if they know they don't have to worry as much about piracy.
Piracy will still run rampant. People will find ways to circumvent this, that's just how it is. At least it will curb some piracy since copying and pasting an apk file wasn't much of a deterrent.
There is a rogue application in the Android Market, from the Android Central post:
Lookout says that one or more of these apps are stealing your data and sending it to an unknown person or persons in China. Yup, innocent looking wallpaper apps. According to Lookout, the app(s) in question are collecting:
* browsing history
* text messages

Reporting a maliciois app in Android Market
RE: Homerun 3D and Slice It
I searched for a proper place to ask this, and describe what I found, and found this thread. I am aware Google has a malicious app reporting process, but I was wondering if any of the great minds here know of a more efficient means to get an app scrutinized by the Market powers-that-be.
The App is a duo, really, that I know of so far. I did not go too far with my investigations once I determined this is a Chinese company (remember the lcd picture frame Trojan?) and once I saw what I did.
I downloaded "Homerun 3D" for my EVO 4G (cyanogen mod), a kick ass batting game to which I quickly was addicted. However, as is common with many apps, during transitions (ad breaks) it would overlay a large ad for various other apps, but the most heavily pushed app (by an estimated 9:1 ratio relative to other apps) was "Slice It", offering extra bonuses in the Homerun 3D game if you DL'd it. I dl'd it and installed it, but once I opened it, superuser notified me it was attempting root access. Of course, this is a HUGE deal, in fact I'd say (and request feedback from those in the know) that proves it is a malicious app, given that no where did it mention that it needed or would use root access. I can't fathom this being an 'honest' developer's mistake.
So I denied it root access and it launched anyway. Hm. In other words, an ingenious method to check for unlocked doors without having to set up a complex ruse of creating an app that notifies it will need to have root access to work. Just write a kick ass fun and addictive 'innocent' app, heavily push and offer incentives to dl and install a so-so app that checks for an exploits unprotected root access, and wah-la, due to the intensely developed dun and addictive nature of the 'innocent' app, you have a much wider distribution of your Trojan that ostensibly gets more chances of hitting an unlocked door. By adding the extra layer of an 'innocent' app, that high-end intensely developed app continues to be listed on the market and continues to push the simple trojan app and so only the trojan app gets removed once discovered. All that the devs need to do then is quickly hammer out another trojan simple app, and update the high-end app to push the new low-end app, instead of developing a whole different kick ass app each time they're discovered.
It's the equivalent of a legit door-to-door cable tv salesmen heavily referencing an unscrupulous installer who is known to sneak around the your house looking for unlocked drawers, cabinets, etc. The fact that the legit cable salesman heavily references him makes that cable salesman very suspicious.
So, while I suspected the Homerun 3D app was complicite given the heavy pushing of the 'Slice It' root checking app, I kept poking around. I looked at the "credits" and while seemingly not hiding the fact they all had Asian sounding names, the use of the middle name nick (as in Jung "Madman" Li) seemed overdone, as if they used corny English nicks, almost too corny to be real, to appear disarming.
But the final straw was when I looked at one of the standard banner ads that run along the bottom of the screen during gameplay. It was a generic Best Buy (low res graphics at that) ad for a $349 laptop. I clicked it and it took me to an ad proxy URL which reported it could not resolve the URL. But get this...the URL of the ad proxy showing in my browser window was:
fraud.mojility.com.
Hm. Not sure why mojility would redirect a banner add to land on a URL with "fraud" in its address, and yet not explain why, but all my circumstantial evidence put together (as if Slice It's secret root checking is not enough in and of itself) warrants a report, I think.
1. Homerun 3D app heavily pushes obvious Trojan app.
2. Homerun 3D app contains at least one banner that directs to a fraud URL.
3. Homerun 3D app credits seem concocted.
4. Slice it app SECRETLY checks for root access, works anyway when denied.
So, thoughts about my tentative conclusion? And if it's agreed, anyone know a more efficient means to alert of a potential malicious app than the Android process?
I'm in contact with someone at Google about this, ohiojoe.
according to a post in a german forum the su request is caused by moblix ad sdk. Imho that doesn't make it any better but the contrary.
I reported them to Google. For me Com2us is dead, will ignore all their games from now on.
Damn, that's scary, thanks for the heads up!
There was some game I installed that was made by some Chinese company. Shortly after people on my gmail contacts started getting spam from me.
I logged into gmail and had a red bar that said my account was being frequently accessed from china.
I quickly changed the password and uninstalled the app.

I'm the OP. Sorry just now getting back this. As I said before, I did not grant Slice It the access it wanted, and it launched anyway (meaning, it didn't need it....just 'wanted' it) but did NOT have any access to my root, so I had no issues.
However, Googling it I saw at least one nit wit (read: a text book example of why not just ANYone should root their phones) report that he gave the Slice It app Su access and was posting that he dint see why it needed it. So, Slice It apparently targets unprotected root phones and nit wit owners of Su protected root phones.

2. Remote phone locking/ turning off mobile and data connections
3. Prevent access to security settings
4. Prevent easy uninstallation of the app.
I think most parental control apps should fulfill this, but I'm struggling (on my phone) to get honest pricing details, what is "free" from the play store then seem to require monthly subscription.
Does anyone have any experience of these apps, and can maybe recommend one with a single payment (or even really free)

They all will be monthly subscriptions and to be honest any kid with internet access will be able to get around it. As a test I tried everyone I could find on my 12yr old sons devices. And within a few days they had it disabled. And they are not really all that tech savy. When I asked them about it they just said they searched the internet and found out how to remove it.

When I was in college I was an admin on one of our development labs. CS 1.6 by then was a plage there, most of the people spent more time playing it than coding. I removed everybody's permission to install software, they just used a portable version. I downsized their quota to about 50mb, they put it on the shared drives our university had. I downsized their quota there as well, so they shared the files over their quotas do get the full game there again. I made a script to search and delete the game files hourly, they had the game patched, so the files had names my script could not find. It was 2003, they did it as freshmen, and none was really skilled, and after looking at someone's browse history I just found what they used to deceive me. After that I gave up, printed a poster asking them to play only after 5 pm (when the classes ended). If you accomplish to have parental control on a kid's smartphone is just a matter of time and interest on the little guy/girl's part to have it circumvented.

Hey there people. I'm completely new to android, well, I'm new to smartphones for that matter.
So right to the point. I want to make GTA 3 (or any REAL game ) work without wifi.
I live in a poorfag country, where it isn't really possible to get online without a contract phone. Not as a student...
I have an Xperia E1, got it yesterday, and managed to install a cracked gta 3 which runs butter smooth. But it has online authentication on launch, therefore I can't play at school, which kinda defeats the point of having the game on my phone.
(The version I got was a lone .apk from 4shared, which installed fine, then, when launched, connected via wi-fi and downloaded the files with a gta3 background pic. Was kinda slow, ~40 kb/s so I don't think it was from the play store.)
Phone isn't rooted, can't find that many results to say it's 100% safe and un-doable to go on with it. Can't afford a new one if bricked.
Someone suggested launching the game at home, then 'alt-tabbing' out of it, move away/turn off wi-fi and play, but after a while it checks for connection again and gives the "Data connection unavailable" screen.
I saw someone on these forums talking about how you could disassemble the apk and remove authentication, or just change it's value to 'true' whether there's wi-fi or not. I'm willing to do *almost* whatever it takes to do that. Does anyone know how to do it ? Where do I start?
I saw apk disassembly programs for rooted phones, but can't you already do that on a PC without having to root your phone ?
Point me to any direction, just help me please.:crying:

Please don't take me for an evil pirate who's main purpose is to crack all the games. My first intentions were to buy the game and be done with it, after that I heard that it has authentication, which requires a contract phone with constant internet access, which I don't have.
Not saying I don't pirate movies or music, but I have 24 games in my steam library right now, most of them got paid for, I also own BF3 Premium. DRM doesn't break the game on PC, as most people have wifi/internet at home in 2014, but not on the go. If play store removed DRM, I would not necessarily need piracy to achieve my goal.
Anyway, finally found an actual offline version, but it was extremely hard to find.

Not saying I don't pirate movies or music, but I have 24 games in my steam library right now, most of them got paid for, I also own BF3 Premium. DRM doesn't break the game on PC, as most people have wifi/internet at home in 2014, but not on the go. If play store removed DRM, I would not necessarily need piracy to achieve my goal.
Anyway, finally found an actual offline version, but it was extremely hard to find.

Well I've been playing it on airplane mode for a while now, and not once has it stopped me due to a lack of internet connection. I'm guessing it just needs the web connection to authenticate the license once.
I'm not saying you're an evil person, but the intention of this thread was for you to figure out how to play a pirated paid game without paying for it, bottom line... And that's against the rules here.
Is your phone rooted?
gta 3 aulthough can be offline? not?

Not having an internet connection is no excuse to avoid payment of software. The authentication method is one way of stopping people ripping off software, so discussions on its removal are forbidden on XDA.
XDA supports developers, show some respect for the work that's been put into software and purchase it!
