here now files from taiko no tatsujin and katamari !

FILESFORKATAANDTAIKO(page 1 updated)

just extract it and push the folders as they are with root permissions into your internal phone storage ! (uses same preinstalled locations like katamari)

so installation should be successful ! (this APK's require already existing libraries[sharp ones] , so if its not pushed into phone from the filesforkatamariandtaiko.zip and u dont run Gingerbread[2.3.X], install fails 100%!!!)

to bad cant test this much coz i dont have rooted device atm:(

min hardware to run this

Anyone know what is the minimum hardware spec for running this game?
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but will be able to in a few hours and report back to you :)
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
k, just checked and I want to make sure that adding in those jar files in the framework folder will not cause any issues with my phone. Especially the Sharp related ones. I guess I can always create a backup with ROM Manager and go back. I'll see if I have time tonight if not tomorrow :p
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
So I followed the instructions exactly and I can get it to install, however I'm getting an error when I run it: "failed to install."

Method: adb push all the things; apktool replace DOCOMO and XX-XXX; zipsign(2); move signed apk to /data/app-private/; reboot; adb install

Phone: HTC Sensation 4G; htc

EDIT:

So it seems I'm missing a file located at /data/data/jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari/databases/vividruntime.db

Any chance you could upload this file?

I / Database ( 1461): sqlite returned: error code = 14, msg = cannot open file at line 27205 of [42537b6056]

E / Database ( 1461): sqlite3_open_v2("/data/data/jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari/databases/vividruntime.db", &handle, 6, NULL) failed

I / ActivityManager ( 231): Displayed jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari/.iLoveKatamari: +251ms (total +1s674ms)

We're so close!
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
Yeah i'll upload the .db-file ^_^ , gimme 2 hours!!!

Also i wonder if its installed, its located in data/app-private/?

If not its possible to install it via adb as locked app? Like "adb install -l katamari.apk"

Coz mine is located in /data/app-private/!!!

Maybe coz its location, something dont want to work! ^_^ .just an idea
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
So I'm actually not pushing, I'm adb installing:

1. push all necessary files from filesforkatamari...

2. apktool and modify katamari.apk

3. build, sign

4. adb install katamari

So I don't actually know where it's getting installed.

I have nailed down where the error message is popping up: it's in jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari/b.

I think what is happening is that it is trying to install the game files (data.bin), but for some reason it can't (piracy or actually can't). So I'm also not sure if the database file will fix it, but it can't hurt :P

From dex2jar: the alertdialog i'm seeing is being started at "Message localMessage1 = iLoveKatamari.h(this.a).obtainMessage(10, null);." I know this because class 'a' is a Handler class and whenever it gets a '10', it will show an alertdialog.

Just open the output apk with winrar, paste the data.bin file to /assets/.. and "save" ! Later it need to be signed by urself via signtool or directly on the phone with zipsigner!

------edit-------

vividruntime.zip in attachment

------edit-------

added files the games will install when u start them first time (FIRST POST!) ! taiko files are complete , katamari game in-app-final-installataion failed , so its incomplete (maybe we could complete this folders by ourself? using files out of data.bin?)

hehe ^^

have fun with testing

dbaf14
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
Sorry, I jumped the gun on the data.bin thing, it was there. I edited my post to remove that.

Also, the install files aren't working on megaupload: "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Could you try re-upping?
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
do we know the folder structure or what files are supposed to be where?
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
got a little bit further after adb pushing data.bin contents to /data/data/<package name>/vividruntime/katamari but now am stuck at "This device is not allowed to execute the application"
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
I'm wondering if any of those that have it working can take a Titanium backup and send it our way. I have a feeling we'll still need the missing framework files, etc but maybe it'll get us one step closer?
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
Check first post, there u can see what to change in smali files (model&brand )to solve this "device is not allowed blabla..."

^_^

dbaf14
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
I figured it out, the file "bootstrap.exe" actually checks AGAIN for the build and model. I know this since I did follow your steps in the OP and grep'd for the error string, "uidcheck", and it was only found in "bootstrap.exe" :P

So I got a little further:

1. Change your build.prop to match the DOCOMO SH-12C

(fixes check in iLoveKatamari activity and bootstrap.exe)

2. Push all the "filesforkatamari"

(needs base files)

3. Push the contents of "data.bin" to /data/data/<package>/vividruntime/katamari/

(fixes unable to install issue)

4. Push vividruntime.db to /data/data/<package>/databases/

(was getting errors: unable to open db file: "vividruntime.db")

5. Make sure libacrodea_runtime.so is located in /data/data/<package>/lib/ the app will sometimes remove this dir if it finds it has the incorrect uid.

6. adb install the untouched apk

NOW there are no errors, however, I'm stuck at "Now Loading..."

Feel free to try this and let me know if you guys can think of anything
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
Hmm if the bootstrap.exe ask again for model and so on, how about hex it? Replacing the info for device to ur own to get a successful ingame installation by itself?;-)

dbaf14
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
I tried searching, but I couldn't find any references to the phone model/brand. I could be doing it wrong though, I'll check later when I get home.
[Android Apps and Games] dragongc:
Sorry for the late response, couldn't find anything in the bootstrap.exe with a hex editor. I'm using a mac with 0xED, is this right?

Anyone else have any other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
>So

now bought with another guy from here[xda-developers] the game from the korean t-store wich have a similar size but lil bit different file structure , coz of warez and so on i'd upload some files from the korean version(not the full APK) wich could be maybe useful to let iLoveKatamari run!

>>>Katamari Korean version files<<<(PAGE 1 UPDATED)

it contains :

[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
Ugh, I keep getting "The file is temporarily unavailable" or if it allows me to download it, the download never starts.
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
just follow the guide how to setup the apk for your/any device from PAGE 1

you need on pc :

apktool , good text file-editor , katamari.apk(untouched)

you need on your phone :

root , rootexplorer , titanium backup , zipsigner , filesforkatamariandtaiko.zip(pushed into your phones root with rootexplorer) , your modified katamari.apk from your pc then ,jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari-2011110..gz(restored with titanium backup)

this is no guarantee that this will work for you ! but if i have some time i can try this on my nexus s one day ;-)

[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
Yeah its possible to use/run this on several devices, the only other way is to buy this from t-store in south korea! Its not restricted to just one device (only to arm-service) but i cant share this here coz of warez! Sry

Just we need to find some good coder who is able to use existing data of the sh-12c to build a free version for everyone!!!

Bump! Any new updates on this?
[Android Apps and Games] StickFigs:
Could someone please upload the original 79mb Katamari .apk from the Japanese Android Market?

The ones the OP uploaded are only around 40mb. I think the 40mb version is missing files needed to play the game that would otherwise be found on the SH-12C.
[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
The apk of japanese version itself is just that around 40MB , then after installing and while first run the in the apk includet ".bin"-file will be extracted to /data/data/...blablailovekatamariblabla..

So final size is more than 40MB ! But everything what is required to run can be found in this thread!

See this pic :

Hmm i think files are same with korean version(except 3dmode with touch joystick control of the japanese version) but the apk/code of classes.dex/java uses it in another way^_^

(Files from korean apk(except code) are also here in this thread)

[Android Apps and Games] The Unnamed Time Lord:
Mind someone reupping it?

Since you know, megaupload and all...
[Android Apps and Games] NeuroticallyYou:
the reason why this is not working is because of the permissions dbaf noted on his posts, without the permissions files from his sh-12c we can't and we won't be able to download certain games like katamari and taiko no tatsujin.

Dbaf you need to post your permissions xml so we are able to reproduce the same steps with our phones. i managed to make the market recognize my phone as a Sharp SH-12c BUT it still thinks it's t-mobile even with all the changes done! so this tend me to believe that is a matter of getting the permission files uploaded for us.

and yeah, someone mind to reupload this again? perhaps you dbaf?

here is a screenshot of what i can see in the market with one T-Mobile MyTouch 4g and a rooted MT4g branded as an SH-12c.

[Android Apps and Games] dbaf14:
Hey guys ,

PAGE1 updated! ^_^ all files in one

Have FUN!!

if u see -> Page 1 ,-> Post 1 , u will see its possible too , just we need an build.prop of the 006sh and maybe(if download success) some permission files out of 006sh's "../etc/permissions/.. "&"../system/framework/..."- folder to install and keep the apk-file.:D

another way would be using the banadroid-market from BandaiNamcoGames where its possible to download it for several other devices !

When I try to install the .apk for that "bandandroid store" it tells me the generic "Application not installed" error, is there anyway to force the install of it? I tried unarchiving the .apk but the folders that it gives to not seem to be identical to the ones that appear in root, so I am not sure where to manually put the stuff.

Maybe it checks that it's an unsupported phone, but I am not sure what to do.

ro.build.fingerprint=DOCOMO/SH12C/SH12C:2.3.3/S7140/01.01.01:user/release-keys

-installed marketEnabler,Zipsigner(2),and old 2.XX.X Market (newer one need to be uninstalled first)

-turned off the phone and removed the USIM-Card

-turned on/booted the phone and checked if changes was overtaken

-pushed all the files of filesforkatamariandtaiko.zip into phones internal storage with rootexplorer (see how its installed on the SH-12C!!i already made it in its Folder-structure , so it should be easy for you to push with one action!)

-set MarketEnabler to 44010 for DoCoMo

-checked the webmarket if i can install it!

and this worked for me and i could download taiko and katamari!

(katamari could not be installed so i got the apk from cache of the phone!)

(taiko was installed well and runs except resolution difference without problems)[/CODE]

During anytime I use the demo, after a while I get pushed out to the first menu where you choose, "Demo". Is this a bug on the developer's part? This happened to me while I was watching the intro scene and while playing the first level.

I can't get anywhere with it doing this. Does anybody have any suggestions? Should I email the devs? I'm using a Motorola Atrix with Neutrino Rom 2.5.

does anyone have info for the proper model so I could try to match it up and see does it work?

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

well it seems like i change the build model, manufacture and brand to a const string and I dont get the message, however now it seems to run and close, I got a feeling it was because I removed the jar file in the requirement of the apk it might need files from that jar. however that I dont have a download link for.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBuzzer:
Here is the apk file i made

I changed 3 files that has to deal with checking the phone model

first one i just bypass the condition and the other ones i replace the string with the other phone info

http://www.speedyshare.com/GqmAU/jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari-1238-new.apk

i really need the

/system/framework/-->jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari_mdl.jar

/system/framework/-->jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari_mdl.odex

my apk pass the two checks i believe but when it was trying to load the jar file it crashes because I dont have it.

/system/framework/-->jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari_mdl.jar

/system/framework/-->jp.co.bandainamcogames.www.iLoveKatamari_mdl.odex

because install fails if you dont have those. i added the user-lib requirement in the apk i uploaded back on because I think it needs that for the game to work.
