[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
From Google Play, it looks like I'm able to download Asphalt 6, but in looking at reviews from users with ATRIX 2, some have problems while others do not. Check your sdcard's available space, looks like this game needs 1000+MB of space for data files.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Black Metal:
i used the same SD files for my mom's DEFY (2.3.7 cyanogenmod) and it works great :D both of them uses power VR graphics.

size of the SD files is about 840 mb in v3.1.1 and im using it from a DVD,internet speed in iran is too slow and if i try to download another SD file for my phone i would be so old when download finishes :D

i will try the fix permissions,i will report about that,tonight i will try to download SD files of Modern combat 2 (240 mb) i want to see its graphic power ability,and i will report about that too(What do you recommend about a powerful game in garphics with a size that not more than 300 mb? )

thanks again so much my friends :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Try Shadowgun :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.shadowgun I have this game on my phone. Pretty nice.

Edit: I forgot you can't use Google Play in your area. :banghead:
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
hmmm.. where did you install Asphalt from?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Google Play Store app from my phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Black Metal:
from a DVD full of games,i cant use play store,and i used the same SD files on the defy and defy plays well the game

im going to try shadowgun
[Motorola Atrix 2] Black Metal:
hi guys,i have to report you about what i did with games :D

i downloaded shadowgun and modern combat 2,they were playing so well on A2 without bug and lag,so fast so sharp so clear and so graphically :D i love atrix 2 more than any other girls :D but still i cant run asphalt6 :D doesnt matter

thanks for your help my friends :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] john1989:
About Asphalt 6 had the same problem and about root it might happen that your root is broken try to reroot your phone
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You could also try playing around with some different build.prop tweaks for performance, GPU, and/or video acceleration.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jdbeitz:
So when I attempt to deodex the system dump, im getting some pretty nasty errors and I cant get any of the files to go through. I've tried xUltimate and the kitchen... any ideas? :D

SOLVED thanks to HowToMen

Navigate to tools/deodex in your kitchen files,

then change the API level.txt to say 15 instead of 10
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AR2000Dwain:
Hi there

When I had an HTC Hero someone posted a very helpful Idiots' Guide to flashing the ROM.

I have spent the first half of the evening trying to root my SGS2, most of which was spent trying to understand why it was no longer working, it was hanging on the S logo. The remainder of the evening was spend trying to find a guide to help me how rooting, kernels, etc work together and how I can successfully root and install a new ROM. It may be I missed it so apologies if I did.

Can anyone help me get my head around all this please?

Thanks

Andy

Has anybody else experienced this issue? Dice player is slow as hell too. Is there a setting that needs to be changed before the One XL will play video correctly or do video players need to be updated to work with the S4 processor?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] muzzy996:
One thing's for sure, video playback on devices optimized for particular encoding settings is optimum when those are followed.

Having said that, I have no problem playing 720p encodes in H.264 format using Handbrake with a profile that is based of the standard high profile but with B-frames, CABAC, 8x8 transform and weighted P-frames all turned off. These aren't necessarily the settings needed for optimal playback on THIS device but they are what I use for reliable playback on my Tegra 2 based Galaxy Tab 10.1 and those files that I've encoded for that play just as well on my One X.

I just dragged over a 1080p video shot on my Nikon D7000 onto my One X without any conversion at all and it plays perfectly fine using Dice Player. I was surprised.

Wonder if it's your encodes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vn1977:
So far the best performance I've gotten on AVI without re-encoding is Bsplayer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
In MX Player, change from "H/W" mode in the top right to "S/W (fast)" - see if that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Another vote for BSPlayer. I was a big Rock Player proponent for a long time. But it doesn't seem to be updated any longer.

Also, similar to another previous response, forcing from HW to SW mode may help. Its a bit of a crap shoot depending on the encoding settings and codec used. But BS Player works for most things.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] baeknice:

[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I already S-OFF and S-CID, JB, I have 4ext and so forth.

I got a replacement phone, had GB on it, I went directly to Energy rom but it freezes in splash screen, same with speed rom. I updated the kernel that was provided by Energy thread but it still boot loops. I am probably missing something.

Any idea what I am missing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
The proper radio and additional device files, reload your stock GB ruu, update to ICS first then flash a custom rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
Way ahead of you boss. Did that and it worked, I re unlocked bootloader and reinstalled 4ext, however I can't seem to mount the SD card. Searching for solution

Never mind its working now ;p thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Here's a tip: You don't need to relock/unlock your bootloader for stock ruu files if you're s-off. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I hear ya boss, I'll remember that next time! ;)

Thanks for the insight as always!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
I suggest gedeROM, SGT7, or Glazed ICS. All three of these ROMs have lots of features and are very stable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertig:
This is kind of like asking what is the best tasting ice cream; everyone will have their favorites, but there is no definitive answer. I found the best thing to do is like what you started to do; try each one and see what works for you and what doesn't. I tried a few CM9 ROMs and each of them did not have the battery life that I wanted, so I am sticking with Modaco's rooted stock until CM9 is more efficient. Good luck in finding the ROM that works for you :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] puterboy:
I wrote the following attached PERL routines for reading/decrypting/decompressing and writing/encrypting/compressing adb backup format backup files.

The routines are:

backupdecrypt.pl: Decrypt (and decompress) android backup file

backupencrypt.pl: Encrypt (and decompress) android backup file

tarfix.pl: Fix broken tar files produced by android backup when using -shared flag

The first two routines allow for reading and writing to the standard ".ab" adb backup format.

Backupdecrypt.pl takes an '.ab' file as input and outputs a standard format tar file (which may be optionally gzip'd).

Backupencrypt.pl takes an arbitrary file (though typically it should be tar file) as input and outputs a standard ".ab" format backup file. Options include the ability to encrypt (or not) and deflate (or not) the backup. Also, one can automatically decompress most standard input formats before encrypting.

For encryption, passwords can be queried for or passed on the command line or read from a file.

NOTE: unfortunately the standard 'adb backup' routine seem to have a SEVERE *BUG* in it when using the '--shared' option in combination with certain other options.

First, the backup is not compressed even though the header claims it is. To get around this, backupdecrypt.pl has a --nocompress option to override the header.

Second, the encapsulated tar file is corrupted by the insertion of 4 extra bytes before every file header and before every group of 64 512-byte blocks of data.

The third routine tarfix.pl fixes this corruption and outputs a normal readable tar file. So, if you are not able to recover a valid tar backup file using backupdecrypt.pl, try doing the following:

backupdecrypt.pl --nocompress <backup.ab> <backupdata>

tarfix.pl backupdata | tar xv

Enjoy!

NOTE: I am incredibly grateful to Nikolay Elenkov for providing sample java routines and for help in understanding the encryption formats
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HappyCamp:
Thanks for this. I was looking for away to peek into the backup file.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] binaryhero:
Fix for tarfix.pl issue

I had ran into issues with ADB backups performed under Android 4.0.4 before the JB upgrade (on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus). I did include the shared storage (accidentally or intentionally I don't remember) and I ran into this bug (Android issue 28303; sorry, I am new here and not allowed to post outside links). Some investigation revealed that while the backup was supposedly AES encrypted and "Deflate" compressed, this was only true for the first "part" of it. At around 150 MB into the file, a simple tar archive of the SD card content was appended. ADB was unable to restore any SD card content per the bug linked to above.

What I did to resolve:

Use a hex editor (HxD) to get to the start of the appended tar archive

Copy this part to a new ".tar" file

Experiment with tarfix.pl and run into the same issues as the previous poster

Look at the code and TAR file content and find out that 00 00 02 00 needs to be prepended to the tar file for tarfix.pl to do its job

Key learning was that the ADB backup tool will create plaintext, corrupted tar format backups that it cannot restore. It is problematic that while the user will believe they have an encrypted backup they can restore, they actually have a plaintext backup that they cannot restore...

Hi,

where did you get PBKDF2.pm from?

I couldnt find it in Fedora repos and the only one I got from the internat has an issue:

Undefined subroutine &Crypt::eek:penSSL::PBKDF2::derive called at ./backupdecrypt.pl line 266, <STDIN> line 1.

Thanks,

Klement
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] binaryhero:
CPAN

All modules were pulled from CPAN directly (I had to use Cygwin as I was on the road), e.g. "perl -M CPAN -e shell" and then issuing "install Crypt::eek:penSSL::PBKDF2".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KentigernEnnis:
I ran afoul of this (foolishly didn't finish the 30 page forum post on it before diving in :( ). I'm trying your perl solution now, but I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with tar headers in a hex viewer. Could I trouble you for some pointers on how best to determine where the TAR starts? I understand there is some sort of header, but I can't figure out what to look for.

Thanks, though, the perl runs well and I'm learning alot (far more than I ever wanted, tbh) about tars,encrypted backups, adb, etc.

:good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
Thanks for your great tools! Here is some better way for unpacking?

dd if=mybackup.ab bs=1 skip=24 | openssl zlib -d > mybackup.tar

For packing (just need to add 24 butes to header (41 4E 44 52 4F 49 44 20 42 41 43 4B 55 50 0A 31 0A 31 0A 6E 6F 6E 65 0A)?

openssl zlib -in mybackup.tar -out gg.ab

Hope it helps! :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:
Of course. You have to concatenate the created ab backup to the first 24 bytes.

Get the first 24 bytes of an unencrypted backup

dd if=mybackup.ab bs=24 count=1 of=first24

Concatenate

cp first24 backup.ab
openssl zlib -in mybackup.tar >> backup.ab

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Says "Missing argument to -M."
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
You concatenation is wrong! Your command "cp" will overwrite backup.ab! You can concetate 2 files using "cat" for example "cat first24 backup.ab > new.backup.ab" :)

Do you have idea how I can generate timestamp of these file in "13 number" format?

Edit:

found a way for generating timestamt with 13 numbers :)

stat -c '%Y000' backup.ab
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marchard:
Hi al!

I also ran into the problem, that my .ab backup created with -shared option can't be restored.

Running backupdecrypt.pl seems to work fine, but tar archive is corrpted. But not the whole file: e.g. Ark sees some files and folders both from apps and storage. When using tarfix.pl i get same errors like trogdan in 3rd post.

To me it seems, that not every file in the tar archive is corrupted. I tried with cpio to rescue at least something and it runs quite a while. It also can read files from storage folder, but fails then somewhere in the middle (to be specific: i have a TitaniumBackup folder in storage. cpio can copy some of the files from this folder, but then fails at others. i don't know, why the corrupted segment should start somewhere and not at the beginning of storage...)

binaryhero and others: could you be please more specific how you managed to repair the .ab file or at least rescued the containing files? I would like to know, how to get tarfix.pl working. Is it possible, that only segments of the .ab file are corrupted? how can i identify them?

Any help and hints are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance! LLAP _\V/, bye Marc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:
Create an adb backup with the apps/ folder only, and the shared/ is just the sdcard you can restore it with another adb backup or manually, for example via ftp.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marchard:
Unfortunately dataloss occurred. that means, it is essential for me, to read somehow the content of .ab file. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:
zlib has to be able to process the ab file (considering that has no password). If zlib doesn't work, I don't know how could you workaround that, but seems impossible to me.

To overwrite is this operator: >

To binary append this one: >>

So in this case is being done right.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cn198:
Hi all! I'm having a few problems, and not really sure where I'm going wrong so hoping you can help. I am coming from froyo (rooted) to jelly bean (not rooted), so cannot use adb backup on the froyo phone, and cannot use adb push on jelly bean (don't want to root my htc one x+). So at the moment I haven't got many options to transfer my app data from my froyo phone to jelly bean.

At the moment, my plan is to use adb pull on the froyo phone to grab my "app data" (specifically angry birds), and then use adb backup on the jelly bean phone to create a .ab file. I then use the OPs perl files to convert the .ab file to a .tar, and then extract that file (on Ubuntu 12.04), replace the app data in the extracted folder with my froyo app data, compress that back to a .tar, then use the perl file to convert back to .ab. I then use adb restore to restore the backup. However, when I then go into angry birds, its just reset and there is no save data. Can anybody see if there is anything wrong with what i'm doing? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:
I am almost 100% sure that you are generating an invalid tar file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cn198:
Is there a unique attribute applied to the original tar file then? Any idea how to generate a valid tar file? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scandiun:
It's not that simple. I am writing a guide based on a third party software for the purpose of Android backups. I'll post here as soon as is published. I hope to have it completed in a day our do.
