I've just released the first version of my Space Invaders inspired game "Invaders!". It's written in Basic4Android and uses the libGDX library.

I have made the source code available from my dropbox account here:

The Google Play link is here:

This was pretty fun! its space invaders afterall how can it not be fun

i can see myself wasting alot of time playing this

my only issue is the ad placement

could you possibly put it on the top instead of the bottom?
[Android Apps and Games] VOS:
Thanks for the feedback,. I will move the ad banner to the top in the next update. I have not used admob before so wwasn't sure where to put the banner on screen.

I will also add some more features in the next update, such as life bonuses, shield bonuses, high score table and improved graphics.
[Android Apps and Games] v1r:
Awesome looking forward to it!
[Android Apps and Games] VOS:
I just published an update to move the banner to the top of the screen and also fixed a memory leak that was force closing the app on some devices.

Looks alot better now!
[Android Apps and Games] danini:
Thanks for the game! I remember my dad talking about it and now i get to revive the stories!

Also thanks so much for the code, this will help me learn more about making games, so far I have only done apps for management!

And I love playing games so why not start making some? thanks again

I want to extract the files from the APK to get the app installed,

the problem is that the system does not recognize the apk files anymore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaibhav Chauhan:
if you want to just extract apk then it can be done by winrar but if you want to make it installable in your device then decompile it using apk tool
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmytim:
I think you are trying to actually extract it on the device and not your computer. This is possible with easily with an app called RAR For Android available in the Playstore. It's a free download.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeeX:
If you mean extracting .apk files from your phone to get elsewhere you can use an app called "ApkExtractor" available in Play store for free of charge.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosi1289:
It's an android device (4.2.2) and it doesn't recognize APK files

So I need to extract the APK files from my computer to my device so the app will be installed.

provide me if u have any link.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
What device do you want to use the zram kernel module on? One way is to take the kernel source for your device compile it using the make menuconfig option and enabling under the options. Then when it produces the zram.ko module file you can insmod it on your device. What you could also do is take the zram.ko module from a custom ROM for your device and insmod it from there (Place the module in the /system/lib/modules directory on your device), or try taking the zram.ko module from a custom ROM that supports it that uses the same chipset as your device. Let me know if you still have questions.

i have galaxy y duos. is this feature activated in custom kernel. and what is the use of zram
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
This will probably be activated in a custom kernel, if not you can compile the kernel source yourself and add it in. Zram is a special form of swapping/paging, I would recommend taking a look at this article for a more in depth technical explanation. Essentially it helps performance and acts as a virtual RAM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartik verma:
Oooo. so i need to contact with iduos kernel developer. i m not having any linux os now so i cant edit anything.

thanks for helping
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
What I would do is first look at the Original Post of the kernel thread and look if it mentions zram as a feature, then if you can't find it post in the thread politely if zram is a supported feature, if that doesn't work politely PM the developer. And no problem always happy to help people out.

[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
Thanks for this thread it's very helpfull but It's not so noob friendly. ADB won't work with your setup guide because adb.exe is placed in different location. In my case proper location is: C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools but it's sdk version/os type related.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
You downloaded the wrong package

Is you read it properly, you would have realised that this is what i wanted you to download it from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download. Scroll down. Click download for other platforms. Scroll down to sdk tools only. Click the first windows zip package. It says all of that in the guide
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
Yes, you're right. Sorry xD
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
No problem bro.
[Sony Xperia M] krarche:
When i download the zip you said to download, there is no adb in folder \tools, just a txt file saying that adb has been moved to an other directory. Do you have a direct link where i could download the right zip ?

PS : Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
This is the .zip what you are told to download. I've just had a look in my SDK folder and it is the same, have you got a platform-tools folder?
[Sony Xperia M] krarche:
No, no platform-tools folder
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Download the .zip I'm attaching to this post and then extract it in the root of the SDK folder. So you can choose between going to platform-tools and tools. Once you have done that edit the path so instead of it finishing with /tools it will finish with /platform-tools.
[Sony Xperia M] krarche:
That worked ! Thanks for your help :)

[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
Ya sorry xD!

I have noticed this but now my probelema is not this! I can not run the command Su. Give me the error "not found".
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Ok, you didn't setup adb correctly , when you type adb shell it should start daemon, which it didn't. Tell me aomething, did you put the ";" sign in the path for the environment variables?
[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
Yes I separated with ";" the path in the environment variables.

When I run the command adb shell seems that it works! But after giving authorization on Sony M for the command adb shell works correctly, the following command (Su) does not work.
[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
I apologize for this series of mistakes and misunderstandings on my part!

I managed to run the entire process from beginning to end successfully!

The cause of my probelema was to not be installed on the Sony M BusyBox apk.

Sorry for the confusion.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Hahhhhahahah bro you made my day. Lol, how can you forget busybox?. Ill add it to the list of requirements though just in case
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
hi. I have downloaded full file adb-bundle-windows-x86-20140321 and by following process from android.developer official website adb shell etc commands working. but I haven't setted up that environment variable setting because adb shell etc commands working so I didn't tried setting it.

on 4.3 rooted I didn't installed busybox again because mbc07 said no need to install busybox again after root using his method of rooting XMD for locked BL.

when I follow your process to deodex commands working until - mount -o rw,remount /system. and after this rm /system app*.odex command gives error. and when I look at phone its switched off showing red LED on. After this it doesn't switch on until I don't removed and re-insert battery. can you tell me what mistake I did?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
You're going to need to be more specific on the error you got and/or post a screenshot of it. It will more than likely be because you didn't install the busybox applets what are needed to perform this.
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
which version of busybox? right now I have busybox X only. the same was used for root
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Go to the play store and install BusyBox by Stephen(Stericson). The follow the BusyBox installation procedure and install BusyBox v1.22.1 to /system/xbin. Make sure smart install is fully loaded first and then press install, then use normal install.
[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
I simply went to "play store" from google and installed the free version of busybox.

It worked fine after that.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Come on guys. When you root you obviously have to install busybox. It's not something i have to tell you. It should be implied. I just don't understand how you can forget it. But just in case, i added how to install it in the thread.
[Sony Xperia M] pedroj666:
I'm a newbie. Just got this sony M less than 1 month and for that reason I have no notion of what is said here xD!

But I'm learning: D.
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
yes keep learning Grammar from me :/
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
i get this during new busybox installation. the same version of busybox told here.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Uninstall it and then reinstall it after smart install has fully loaded. Remember to only ever use normal install though. Letting smart install loads all of the applets.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
I dont think it matters if smart install loads first. I never waited
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
I've always found it to work better if smart install does load first. May just be a placebo effect though.
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
it keeps giving same error like in above screenshot. I wanted to give it last try. all commands worked without error. after reboot command stucked at bootloop. I waited almost 15 minutes but no change. how much time it takes to reboot after deodex?

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

well no problem if no deodex. another problem I faced if I try to send any apk file via bluetooth using 4.3 xmd file commander then it doesn't show bluetooth option as sending medium in options. shows NFC, Wi fi, drive, e mail, g mail but no bluetooth.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
I actually have no idea what you are doing wrong, but you are doing something wrong because many people pm me telling me it was flawless
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
what about apk file sending via file commander using bluetooth? is it working on your Xperia m?
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Wait, is this a problem you are facing after or before deodex?
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
I think this problem occured since I tried deodex first time. since I got bootloop first time. but after this obviously I had to install fresh firmware and after completing all processes still this problem. shows bluetooth if i send pics or songs but not for apk files. but from file expert gives bluetooth option for sending apk files. only not in file commander.
[Sony Xperia M] sunny54_8:
on 4.2.2 bluetooth for apk working.

may be by default on 4.3 it doesn't work until i don't zip apk file

[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Hey, I dunno what I'm doing wrong right now but I've followed the guide step by step but at the point of typing the commands you put, I am getting an error.

Shell@C2005:/ $ Su

/system/bin/sh: Su: not found

Edit: Ah nevermind, I shoulda typed "su" instead of "Su" and also how long does it take to reboot? It's taking longer than usual...
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Is it stillrebooting
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Yes, been at it for exactly 32mins now
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
It should take no longer than 5-10 mins. Have you pulled your battery and then restarted?

Did you get any errors whilst running the commands?
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
No errors whatsoever. It went smoothly. I just removed the battery and restarted. It's been 2 minutes now. Should I wait further? I'm currently downloading the 4.3 tft just in case. It's gonna be downloaded in 22mins
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
If it hasn't booted by 10 mins, see if you can access the device from adb shell.
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Device not found. I got this message while it was still loading the xperia bootscreen. I removed the battery, tried it again while it was on the charging animation. Same thing "device not found."
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
You're only able to access the shell once it is at the end of the boot animation. It seems as though you're going to have to reflash stock firmware onto your device.

Tip for when you attempt next time, before you run the reboot command type the following;

ls -l /system/app/*.odex

followed by enter. If there is any .odex files listed then you will need to try and delete them again. If there is none you will get a file or directory is not found error. Then run the following;

ls -l /system/framework/*.odex

again, followed by enter. You will get the same result as above.
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Alright, in about 7 mins my download should be done. To flash firmware, I'll have to go in flashboot using the flashboot software right? (Volume down and connect to usb?)
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
What file did you download buddy?

And what phone do u have?
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
I downloaded the file you gave me on this link http://d-h.st/2oO

I have Xperia M Dual Sim C2005 with firmware 15.5.A.1.5

You gave me the link through this thread. I was asking on how to root my phone and deodex it.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
You need to go into flashmode to restore the firmware. You'll be using flashtool (that is the name of the software) to do so.
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Done. I'll have to root again and try deodexing again I suppose?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
That's correct, remember to run the two instructions I gave before you run the reboot command. Also, give the phone about a minute and a hald to two minutes when you run the rm and cp commands. This will give it the time to do what it needs to do.
[Sony Xperia M] Pranavtastic:
Alright, on it. I'll let you know once I'm done.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Okay, good luck. Remember the minute and a half to two minutes has to be for each individual command, so that's about 6-8 minutes in total.

Thanks, am actually trying right now.

Right now it's 1.0GB, it's filling up as I install, I am trying to keep putting apps, see if it's working once it reaches 2 GB full. Is this how it's supposed to work? But if it doesn't, I should probably switch back to the other thread about the MOD itself.
[Sony Xperia M] gens2rasta:
Hi, i have xperia c1905 rooted with towelroot..

My question is what are my possibilities if i deodex it.. Noob here:)
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
It allows you to theme your apps yourself, install themed apps yourself and it also allows you to install SUPERUSERMOD.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Also, there are a lotof mods that you cannot use if you are not deodexed
[Sony Xperia M] gens2rasta:
Can i install mods like "cyanogen" or some other to change look of my phone..

Are there any mods that dont require unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
You're on about Cyanogenmod right? That requires an unlocked bootloader as it is a ROM and not a mod per se.

There are a plethora of mods both here in the Xpeira M Themes & Apps section and the Sony Cross Device Development section. Many mods require you to have SUPERUSERMOD installed too, you can find the SUPERUSERMOD for your device and firmware here in the Xperia M Themes & Apps section. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.

I did it through Linux PC

For Linux its same:

I just skipped the 1st part.

And in the 2nd part all the steps are same except for the command

"adb shell" should be written as "./adb shell"

:good:
[Sony Xperia M] Akos96:
Halp

I did it as meantioned in the steps but I messed up my phone.

Here are my details before the deodexing:

C1905 single slot 15.4.A.1.9(latest), towel rooted, installed busybox and rebooted.

adb worked fine rebooted phone again then after optimizing apps every app, I mean EVERYTHING force closed (not a single application is working)

I have no menu buttons to do anything and no notification bar, nothing. Tried it once more after full stock system flashing and resetting. I am out ideas. What to do now? Please help, fast. Maybe I should give up whit this locked bootloader and ruin warranty.

Edit: I used android-sdk_r23.0.2-windows and put it and tools in the right place so the only thing I am thinking of is some version/compatibility problem. Or what did I do wrong?
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
In step 16, did you use this file: http://d-h.st/EP7. Or did you use one of the ones listed here? You are supposed to use this file because the ones listed in the OP are for an older firmware version.
[Sony Xperia M] Akos96:
Thanks

No, I did not know its a wrong version. Tank you! One mire thing: My ROM doesn't have init.d support is it bad? Edit: Don't bother I found the tutorial on making the stock rom support it.
