Yup, Arpil fool. They have a real review up but i can't link it.
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
The lorem ipsum dolor text is an old Microsoft joke used to display how fonts appear in Word to give the user an idea which font to choose. The text means nothing, it's a bunch of words sounding Latin and therefore important and smart.
[Xperia Arc General] travisb:
Lorem ipsum has been used in typesetting for centuries. Nothing to do with Microsoft.

Hey everyone,

i used to edit/backup my angry birds files. It worked fine with angry birds and angry birds seasons. But now with angry birds rio rovio encrypts the files with AES.

what i know so far from IDA pro:

for example GameLua::loadLuaFileToObject does

=> io::FileInputStream::read

=> lang::AESUtil::AESUtil(...)

=> lang::AESUtil::decrypt(...)

So,

are any IDA excperts here who might help me figuring out the arguments to that decrypt call( the AES key). Or do you have any ideas on how to figure out the AES key at all?

Greets, Goddchen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlocK240:
I'm afraid you can't decrypt an AES key with a current PC, considering it would take some good millions of years to bruteforce.

Your best bet would be finding an exploit into how the game implements this encryption, I guess.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
sorry you might have misunderstood me.

i don't want to crack the key, i simply want to extract it. it has to be stored in the file somewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakkywantstodocrazysht:
Ever tryed the old fashion way of searching addys maybe even reversing the whole game? Wait I'm a computer game hacker idk about adroid games lol sorry uhmm I'm sure you can reverse enough to find the file but then again could it possibly be stored outside of the game itself?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
yes that's exactly what i want to do. i have already found the file loading/saving function that use the AESUtil, but i can't figure out where the actual key is stored :(

Could you have a look at it if i send you the binary file?

Greets, Goddchen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakkywantstodocrazysht:
Yeah send them all to me every one you can find and I will search away hopefully its not somthing stupidly named that throws me off...and why hack a game like this anyways?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakkywantstodocrazysht:
Also have you tryed opening it up with a hexeditor? I know I know billions of lines of useless numbers for what you want but there is a chance it will be labled in there somewhere
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
Yes i did that, and also decompiled the whole thing with IDA pro. That's why i know it's AES, because the read / write function use the AESUtil functions. But i can't figure out the address where the key is located...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakkywantstodocrazysht:
Have you searched for aes or key I know it might sound funny but time after time I've found addys that way and and I toatally forgot that you used ida I use that to decompile dlls and mem dumps for my hacking on games...but pm me the files (idk never tryed sending files on here before so I'm not sure if its possible here if not pm for my email)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
you already have a PM :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
All assets/*/*.lua files are encrypted using AES, CBC mode with empty initial vector and 256-bit key = 'USCaPQpA4TSNVxMI1v9SK9UC0yZuAnb2' (yes, ascii only). After decryption you will see 7z file with real *.lua file inside.

Example in Python:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
AES.new('USCaPQpA4TSNVxMI1v9SK9UC0yZuAnb2', AES.MODE_CBC, '').decrypt(open('MainMenuPage.lua', 'r').read())

You should see a string starting with "7z" and after saving it to a file you should be able to open it using any 7z archiver.

Still I don't know about highscores.lua and settings.lua - these files are different. I'm afraid they aren't 7z files, so even if I'll decrypt them successfully, I'll just get some unknown binary files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
wow i'm impressed! where did you get the key from?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
Hm, when trying to decrypt the highscores.lua or settings.lua i keep getting

"java.io.IOException: last block incomplete in decryption".

Do you have any experience with Java AES encryption?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tltester:
I've played with this a little.

The provided key does decrypts other LUAs, but not the highscores...

They either used another key or messed up something after applying encryption.

The error is javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded

Again, I was able to decrypt level LUAs to plain 7z.

BTW: The highscores.lua is a plain text if decrypted correctly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
yes it should be plain lua files. This is the case for Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons, just RIO is encrypted :(

Can you please explain how to got your hands on the key you mentioned? Maybe this help me track down the key used to encrypt the highscores/settings.

Greets, Goddchen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
still no progress :(

i also had a look at a hprof heap dump but counldn't find anything that looks like a 256 bit aes key...

Any more ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
highscores.lua and settings.lua are encrypted with AES, CBC mode, PKCS7 padding and key = '44iUY5aTrlaYoet9lapRlaK1Ehlec5i0'.

In my next post I will describe how I got these keys :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
Man! This is totally awesome! You're my hero!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
wow thank you so much for that detailed description. I'll give a try in the next days to see if i can reproduce the whole thing on my own :) I'm really impressed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Manngo:
Hi,

This is one of my first posts in this forum, so please be patient with me. :o

I would like to ask some help to get more clarity on the data transfer speeds through the USB. I use my phone as a memory stick to have windows programs on it and other data. I noticed that copying files between the PC and the phone is much slower that I expect. After extensive searching I found out that 4 main factors influence this:

SD Card specifications

The ROM I use

The phone's harware

Cluster size of the format on the SD card

I don't know which one is the limiting factor in my case, but I'm really curious and found out a plan how to sort it out. Please help me with running the following test on your Hero:

1. As prepataion please download and install Crystal Disk Mark. This is a disk benchmark software, open source, free and safe. Download from here:

crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html

(I'm not allowed to post links :()

2. First turn off your phone and remove the SD card. Mount it in your PC's card reader using an micro-to-normal adapter.

3. Run Crystal Disk Mark for the drive that represents the SD card. Use settings: repeat: 5; size: 100MB.

4. Unmount the card and put it back to the phone. Turn phone on, connect to the computer with USB cable and mount the SD card from android.

5. Run Crystal Disk Mark for the drive that represents the SD card in the phone. Use settings: repeat: 5; size: 100MB.

6. Post the results like this:

1. Phone type (Hero GSM or Sprint)

2. ROM that you use

3. SD card specs: Brand, Size, Class, File system, Cluster size (if you know)

4. Results when card was tested in card reader

5. Results when tested in the phone via USB cable

Comparing the measured speed between the first and the second tests will tell if the phone is fully using the SD card capability.

If not, than comparing results from different ROMs will tell us if the ROM is involved or not.

If it is not the ROM that causes the problem than it can only be the phone hardware. In this case the maximum reported speed can be interesting as a reference maximum data tranfer speed for the Hero.

Here are my results:

1. HTC Hero GSM

2. Cyanogenmod 6.1.0

3. Transcend, 2GB, Class unknown, FAT32, 4K

4. Tested in card reader (read/write):

Seq 13.88/6.735

512K 13.88/2.042

4K 8.063/0.023

4KQD32 8.163/0.023

5. Tested in phone via USB (read/write):

512K 5.910/2.155

4K 0.958/0.081

I have another card as well:

1. HTC Hero GSM

2. Cyanogenmod 6.1.0

3. Kingston, 4GB, Class 4, FAT32, 4K

A couple of new pcitures have been leaked showing the htc pyramid aka the desire hd 2 , looks pretty nice i was pretty much sold until i saw it has 770 mb of ram :( , i like that the camera no longer sticks out ( less sctraches) and it looks thinner than the desire hd and i also think they dropped the unibody case kinda sad but at least the battery cover will be beasy to remove :confused:

[Desire HD General] Kraken T3ch:
The hardware specs are WOW. But the design to me looks a bit feminine :P like that of samsung. What i mean is....the design is too much of curves on the phone. The top and bottom are also curved and not flat. :( I like the look of DHD which is VERY masculine :D hehe
[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
YUP.. same feeling here.. :D
[Desire HD General] Fihlvein:
I feel opposite, I much prefer DHD way of keeping minimum area of weak parts of the body making the overall feeling sturdy and cracklingless :p

Well, DHD by default is not that with it's weak mini covers, but they can be worked out. :)
[General Questions and Answers] fireinthesky2night:
so there has been alot of hype about the new xperia line-up, but for some reason not much on the xperia pro. Clearly its the best one. A qwerty! so I want to create forum for it. These phones are coming with unlocked bootloaders of some sort! also supporting timescape and so many other awesome features. lets get the hype going and get a petition to get this phone coming to AT&T usa. It looks like it has the same specs. I wish it would come to Tmobile, but that is asking to much. Anyways can someone help me get this thread to the right area of the forums.
[General Questions and Answers] XtriFe:
I dont know how to go about opening the forums for it but I do agree its the best xperia for me out of the new ones (unless the arc had a keyboard).

Hopefully it wont be too expensive once its out. I'll be selling my Droid 2 Global to get the xperia pro.

How should I go abount intalling intellikernel on cm7rc3 . I am a noob and do not really understand the importance of having a seperate kernel (incredikernel is supposed to be superior than the default CM7) .. would I have to do some tweaks after I flash this?

Development section.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
That is for the Droid Incredible.

That is why it will not work on our phone.

You can only flash 3rd party kernels related to your phone, and your skin design. meaning you cannot flash an AOSP kernel for Sense ROM, nor a DInc kernel to a OG Droid.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpdadroid:
But I am running CM7 RC3 ... which is AOSP.... I am a little confused.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
But the Kernel you are looking at is for the Droid Incredible, not for the HTC Glacier. They are two different phones, with two different hardware packages. You must use AOSP kernels for the HTC Glacier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpdadroid:
Could you suggest one that you really like? and do I have to wipe anything before I flash any kernel?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Personally i suggest running the stock kernel that came with your ROM. And i will only use the kernel that comes with the ROM. The developers have built the ROM to run around that kernel. So it should work the best. I know Faux123 has built some top notch kernels....but i cannot speak first hand.

[HTC EVO 3D] Maximiano:
I am running CM7 and in a debate as to whether or not to sell my EVO 4G with CM7 (so smooth) and get the EVO 3D, or stay with the EVO 4G. Let me know what you guys think.

UPDATE: I believe that I would be able to get roughly $300.00 for the EVO (condition is flawless with NO scratches etc.). ETF fee is going to be about $100.00. HTC EVO 3D $249.99(my guess at pricing). Therefore:

$300.00 - $100.00 - $249.99 = $49.99 (out of pocket)

It is definitely a plus knowing that the HTC EVO 3D is going to be supported by CM. CM might not be for everyone, but it is definitely for me, and the other 100,000 people that downloaded CM7 RC1 in the first 24 hours it was put up. ;)

I am actually using this poll to show my wife why I should get this phone. All input is greatly appreciated and used. Thanks!

P.S. Wife will not impact whether or not I get this phone. This will just help prevent those late night, ahem - conversations about what my money is spent on. ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] donisewell:
exactly how do they "cripple" phones? I've been using CM since CM6 for Evo came out and have been extremely happy with it.

Also why do we have to chose between CM7 and the 3D? Are we assuming CM won't make a version for the 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] spyke24:
You know cm will have a Rom for the 3d as soon as the phone is in stores, i know mag with his destroyer Rom is already looking forward to building his 3d Rom. My question for you is why sell your Evo? It's still going to be useable when you get the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Maximiano:
Here is the deal. CM7 (RC3) is so smooth! If I switch, I am sure that the camera and several other features wont be working right away, and maybe not for a while. CM7 has everything working on EVO 4G and it is the best ROM, IMHO. So, just looking for opinions on whether to stay or grab the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] Maximiano:
Because I am no longer a SP customer. The only way that I will be able to get the discount on the phone is to pay the ETF ($100), then re-sign a new 2 yr contract with the EVO 3D. If I sell the EVO 4G it should offset the cost.

[HTC EVO 3D] spyke24:
The system dump for the 3d should be out before the phone, and I'm reading that the programing is almost the same as the Evo, I'm not thinking that it's going to take every long for them to get a fully working 3d, if your unsure about cm having everything working i would just sit back for another month and wait for the system dump. And we should see a working Rom soon after.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
If you honestly think they have a more stable rom than stock you are kidding yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
I think cm7 is more stable than stock, using sz 1.0.1 bfs gps works fine, no fc, no random reboots, no slowdowns. the scrolling is smooth, the display doesn't jitter or lag. its great
[HTC EVO 3D] hachiroku:
CM7 RC3 may be more smooth than CM7 RC2, but I was having massive issues with either version.

RC2, 4G super crawl speed. 250kbps, vs Calkulin 1.8 880kbps, GPS didn't work without doing the fix.

RC3, 4G crawl speed, 250kbps, vs Calkulin 1.8, 880kbps, cellular signal and 3G flipping from zero bars to full bars multiple times within a matter of a few seconds non stop.

RC2 and RC3 causing my battery to run massively hot when charging or using wireless tether. wired tether as well.

CM7 was a great refresh for the EVO, but isn't as polished to make it a daily use rom for me.

What rom are you using? I've had one problem with the GPS buy got that fixed in about 10 mins. The extra features are better than any other rom.

[HTC EVO 3D] eallan:
Whatever you say man. Never had any issues on CM at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
Stock doesn't even have a fully working bluetooth stack. Try using a wiimote with *any* sense rom, watch what happens.

And further, with stock, you can't even hdmi mirror at full speed, you have to modify the kernel (either that or mirror at slow speed.) Furthermore, trying to mirror with a stock rom, or any sense rom, is finicky due to software conflicts.

There are also a number of apps out there that don't work with a stock evo setup, and specifically mention they aren't compatible with evo. However if you use an AOSP rom they work fine.
