[Completed] How to extract images from game files - XDA Assist

Hello im not sure if this is the right kind of forum to ask this but, Ive seen someone extract images of cards from an android game, when I asked him how he did it he said he went into the games data files, which I assumed is in the Android > data > then the game files folder. I checked there however most of the files were in a format which the phone couldn't read. Is there a section here that explains this. Thank you

Hi,
More than likely you need to go into the .apk and use a tool to extract the contents. But to find a clearer answer I would advice to look here

Best of luck!

[Completed] [Q] Access a file on mobile through laptop(PS: not copy cut paste but actual access)

To be precise, my purpose is: I want to use an MS Access database, stored in my mobile memory through a software on my laptop, both being in the same WiFi network.
I have used various file manager apps, but everywhere I am able to just copy, paste or move the file through laptop on mobile and vice versa.
To give an example: Through ES File Explorer, I opened an excel file in my mobile through my laptop and worked on it. But when I wanted to save, then instead of saving on the same excel file, it created a new copy. But my purpose was that it should have saved on the same excel file, like it happens to any other file if saved on laptop memory.
I hope I've been able to explain myself.
I'll be really glad if someone could provide me a solution to this.
PS: I have rooted my phone, so problem of not having root access won't be there.

[Completed] [Q] INSTALLING ANY APPS FROM APK & obb FILES (NO PIRACY & NON ROOTED DEVICE)

PLZ MIND IT THAT I DONT USE PIRATED SOFTWARES AND I AM HAVING A NON ROOTED DEVICE !
Query:
Google Play now provides APK file and also obb file along with it which was not there before. So, due to my lack of network on my smartphone, I had downloaded the app "Microsoft Word" & "My talking tom" from my PC which provided me an APK file and another one is obb file. I followed the instructions from youtube and copied the obb file in the "phone memory/Android/data" folder and copied the APK in the phone memory and installed the APK. But, even after properly following the procedure, the apps were again downloading the EXPANSION PACK but not accessing the obb file i already copied into the "phone memory/Android/data".
I also found that I have NO obb folder in sd card or phone memory, so I created one and followed the steps but the same thing happened.
(in some website, I found that i have to install a game from play store to get the obb file) But still, such problem should not arise.
please help, dont provide guessing/fake/spam answers because this problem is been faced by many users. Thanks in advance.

[Completed] How to "push" files from a zip-ped app

Hi I have a China tablet that has no apparent "recovery" and I'm afraid of flashing a recovery and risk bricking it.
I want to try to install a zipped app. (Maxx Audio) the file structure is
- Meta-INF
- System
somewhere in the "system" there is an apk file
I presume I "install" that apk file, then copy all the files under "system" into the "system" folder of my tablet?
Where do i put "meta-INF" files?
Thank you very much. Apologies for sounding dumb. I have googled for a few days and found no answer so I thought I'd ask at XDA.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and it's difficult to point you towards a specific forum since you didn't provide any information about which device/ROM/file you have in mind. The file you describe seems to be a common "flashable ZIP" designed to be loaded by a custom recovery such as TWRP. Without such a recovery, you would need to study the steps included in whatever scripts are in the "meta-INF" directory and duplicate them manually from a terminal emulator prompt or maybe from an ADB link to a desktop or laptop, an eminently dangerous endeavor NOT recommended unless you're positive you know what you're doing. If you need more information, try asking with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. You could also ask wherever you found the file you're attempting to install.
Good luck!
Thank you. In the zip thread someone said just to install the apk and then push the files and it worked for him.

It all depends on what command(s) the script in the ZIP file contains but I'm sure whoever uploaded the file can help you. As mentioned earlier, we cannot provide technical support here, sorry.

[Completed] File recovery help [URGENT]

This is my very first time posting here and I really didn't know where should i look for help other than here, so... Hello there, XDA community.
It goes like this: Several months ago, I accidentally deleted a note in S Memo from my Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337, rooted stock Kitkat 4.4.2). Recently, when I realized that I actually need it, I have looked upon several solutions, one of them being exploring the thumbnail cache folder of the S Memo app (/storage/emulated/0/Application/SMemo/cache), which gave me the cache files but among them I didn't find the lost note. Now, if the cache files were packed inside a regular image extension, I would have no problems recovering them with any usual android file recovery tool, but unfortunately they are basically .png files packed inside a weird extension (.sfm to be exact, literally by changing the extension in the file name to .png they become viewable). Since there isn't any software that is able to recover files with that extension, what are the options?
How hard is it to compile an actual app which would dig up the folder for the note? (I've done some basic programming stuff when I was younger and I do have an idea how it all works)
Where are actual S Memo files stored? Is it easier to recover them instead of cache?
Also, since I'm rooted, is it possible to turn the phone into a mass storage device and trick the computer so I could look up for the note using PC file recovery tools?
The case is really urgent.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
D.
