Stagefright files in an app?! - Security Discussion

I just downloaded infectionator off of the Google play store and I happened to look through some of its files with an app I have, there were some that caught my attention such as something like lib.stagefright.so and 2 more with stagefright in the names, I couldn't view them because the app I used couldn't open them but should I be worried? I have a rooted ASUS zenfone 2e. Thanks.

amazon appstore apk installation/backup methods, what I found so far

I tried to find out if it's possible to extract amazon app store downloaded apk APPs for backup/archive purposes. here are some facts I found so far,
- when you download an app, the apk goes in \sdcard\android\data\com.amazon.vevezia\. the apk names are in the format of vnz-<some_number>.apk
- I uninstalled amazon appstore at this point and moved the angrybirds apk to root. it installed fine but requires "unknown sources" checked
- angry birds rio won't play. error "it looks like the amazon appstore was uninstalled from your device"
- reinstalled amazon app store apk. angry birds rio error "You must be signed in to the Amazon App Store to run this app".
- signed in appstore, angry birds rio runs fine now.
- switched to airplane mode to disable data/wifi. app runs fine.
- killed appstore in task manager. app runs fine.
so, seem apps only look for appstore(signed in) for the very first time it's launched.
- this file now exists, sdcard\.android_secure\com.rovio.angrybirdsrio-1.asec
will .asec file backup and restore?

This whole process is quite a drag.
I'd like to know also, amazon app store is a pain to use. Also the fact that it keeps signing me out and every time I try and use an app purchased with the app store I have to log in each and every single time

Well burt, looks like we may be on our own. I guess we'll just have to deal with the memory hog, Amazon App Store. Lol

Google Music Issue?

Has anybody had any trouble with Google music?
When I try to stream music I get an error. If I click play a few times it will download the song, but it will not play until it is fully downloaded.
Anybody else?

Figured it out. I had a custom hosts file which was blocking the google ad web site.
Once I removed that it worked fine.

What Tab do you have, and where was this host? Are you stock or rooted.

The hosts file should be in /system/etc/ like other Android devices

I don't suppose it matters what tab I have, since the problem was the Play Music app, but it's the GT-P3113.
And since I had a custom hosts file, I would imagine I had to be rooted.
I don't remember that URL specifically the app was looking for. I erased the logcats already.
None of that matters. I posted the resolution so others would know of the issue.
If you have problems with playing music on it, turn off ad blocking, however you did it, and that might fix it if you were blocking the site Google uses.

Ematic FunTab Pro Google Play

Just wanted to put this out there somewhere maybe it will help someone.
I recently purchased an Ematic FunTab Pro from Walmart.com and was able to install Google Play store by simply loading an older market.apk file.
All of the other Google Framework was already on this tablet.
Unfortunately the tablet I received had a damaged screen so I had to return it but wanted to let everyone know that it should be very possible to add Google Play to this tablet.
how do you load google play?
Hello,
Can you please explain how to download the early market apk for google play? I can't even find a site that let's you download the newone lol

I just searched it on Google. Just type something like "Google play store apk". I've got it installed on my little brother's fun tab pro but I can't figure out how to get it to work. It keeps force closing whenever I open it or when I try to install an app with it. I heard the Google framework doesn't come with the tablet, how did that other guy have the framework already there? Any help would be appreciated but I'm going to try a few more things to see if I can get it to work too. Thanks.
Same problem here, I bought two of them for my boys. Tryin to figure it out. I'm able to side load app from random websits. I'm not a big fan of that though.
I'm just using the slideme market for now. Its better than the broken app stores preinstalled
These things are horrible, nothing works, apps crash. I consider myself an advanced android user and this is pathetic. Im getting a headache. Were returning them back to Walmart later.
My solution:
Download APK extractor and Wifi file transfer (wifi transfer app optional) with registered android device.
Download desired apps to registered Android device.
Use APK extractor to extract app (no root needed)
Either use wifi transfer (wireless and more convenient) or use PC to transfer APK files to FunTab. (Files can be found in the "APKextractor" folder from registered android device and move them to to the desired folder in the FunTab ) detach from computer.
Install APK on fun tab using stock file browser
Thank me and enjoy.

Ematic Funtab 7" tablet
My sister bought this tablet for my 2 year old son for christmas he loves it but it would be nice if I can install Netflix on his tab so he can watch SuperWhy and YoGABA GABA and all that kiddie stuff he likes.
I'm trying to install the Google Play APK and Netflix APK the apps try to launch but they don't open, and they crash.
I read somewhere that I would have to send the tab to Ematic and they have to remove a "lock" so I can install all this stuff. From my understanding Zoodles causes this "lock" and it tricks the tab into thinking the outsourced apps are outdated and cannot launch.
I imagine that this so-called "lock" is just having to root this device.
Has anyone tried rooting it? He just received it, yesterday, I would hate to send it to Ematic just so they can root it.
Help?:laugh:
Google Play Store
I have a Yuntab S4 running 4.2.1 Android which has BIG problem downloading Google Play & any other aps from this store...Do you have a URL for the mentioned "older market.apk" file? Thanks!

Google Play store says my phone is incompatible, could someone please send me .apk?

I bought a breathalyzer that requires an app to use. The app requires android 4.3, so I rooted my Photon Q 4G and installed cm-10.2.1-xt897. However, the google play store still thinks my device is incompatible, even after messing around with Market Helper. I even tried playing around with build.prop manually, which was almost a disaster when it broke my keyboard and I had no way of typing back in the settings I had changed. I changed ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, and ro.product.manufacturer to imitate a Galaxy S3 and S4, neither worked. Anyway, I'd like to try side loading the app on my device to see if it works because I'm pretty sure the google play store is just being stubborn (I've seen other installation issues reported by people with non-rooted phones for this app). Could someone with a compatible phone (stock Android 4.3+) please download this app and send me the .apk file? I'm not asking anyone to steal since it's a free app anyway. Alternatively, could someone explain which settings I should be changing in build.prop to fool the google play store (preferably without breaking my phone)?

Here you go the apk is attached
Editing build.prop to look like other phones is not a good idea.
And to unlock the play store there is an xposed module available. So install xposed and find the module.:good:

[Q]Spoofing device on Amazon App store?

Hi Has anyone been successful in finding a way to spoof devices on the Amazon app store? I had a ton of apps that up until a few weeks ago were Compatible with my current device (ASUS ROG PHONE 3) and now it seems apps one by one that were compatible are being changed to incompatible and can't be re/downloaded due to this.. so my two options if they exist is to spoof the device or download the apk off Amazon app store server somehow. Any one know anything about of the possibility of any of this?
