[APP] Gameloft Game Data on External_sd

Hi all, I'm really sorry if this has already been posted anywhere but I could not find it so I thought I'd share it hoping it was useful for someone. This is a windows application that will take your Gameloft HD .apk files and patch them so that the downloaded game data will be stored and read from your external SD on your Galaxy S. It has saved me a lot of grief chopping and changing SD data for games depending on what I wanted to play as I bought about a dozen Gameloft HD games but could only fit the data for a select few on my internal SD.
Tested working on my SGS so far: -
Real Football 2011
Asphalt 6
Assassins Creed
Avatar
Dungeon Hunter
Dungeon Hunter 2
Eternal Legacy
Fast 5
Gangstar Miami Vindication
Hero Of Sparta
Lets Golf
Lets Golf 2
Modern Combat 2
Nova
Nova 2
Rainbow 6 Shadow Vanguard
Sacred Odyssey
Sandstorm
Shadow Guardian
Spiderman Total Mayhem
Splinter Cell Conviction
Star Front Collision
The Settlers HD
It changes the path within the game from /sdcard/gameloft/games/ to /sdcard/external_sd/Gl/ so all you need to do is either download the game data again or move it into the Gl folder on your external SD card.
I did not write this, a fella named Duero over on 4pda.ru made it but the site is all in Russian so I thought it would be useful here. If it has already been posted or anyone has any objections to me posting it then please let me know rather than flame me.

asphalt 5 HD 3.1.9 and gt racing motor academy 3.1.1 works great too on my SGS.

Help?
Total noob here...could you please give me some instructions?

This is not working dude

Works fine for me. Simply download the attached file then:
1. Run the file
2. Select the .apk file of the Gameloft game you wish to patch
3. Wait a while as it decompiles the .apk, edits the files and then recompiles it
4. Save the new .apk file somewhere
5. Transfer the .apk file to your phone and install
Simple

ThanX Man .. ThanX

Thanks a lot.It works, as explained.

It needs to be put in a folder on your external_sd called GL, so your folder structure will look like - external_sd\Gl\*Game Name*
Works a treat on my phone and many others

For those like me that aren't on Windows, there is also another method (by script) : [HOWTO] to Gamers: dirty workaround to have Gameloft files on external_sd, by lunasea
lunasea said:
Looked around, and the only workaround I've found was a crack that opens the game apk and changes the download destination directory. Well, I wasn't very comfortable in using this, and it only worked on some games.
So I configured the following "dirty" workaround, I know it's not perfect, but it resolved my problem so I decided to share here.
Basically I've moved gameloft directory from sdcard to external_sd and created a bind mount point called gameloft on sdcard pointing to external_sd. This has the problem that you can only mount that bind point before using the gameloft games, because if you keep it mounted and use storage usb you'll have problems mounting sdcard.
So I've created two scripts - one to mount it, another to unmount it -, and using script manager created a shortcut (actually is a script manager widget) to both scripts on my screen. Whenever I want to use/install gameloft games I mount it, and in the end dismount the bind.
Additional steps for gamming, but restored my sdcard space and now I can use my 16G external sd for that files. Note that if your external card is slow, the game load will be slower.

That should work fine, I'm really not sure why its not working for you. Are you trying to replace the apk files once they're patched or saving them in a different directory? All I did was save the apk files I wanted to patch in one directory, load the patcher and patch 1 file then save the new file in a different directory then just repeat the process. I'm not sure if you need to have java installed on your pc and its directory set up in the system paths option but it all worked for me

i open up patcher(i do have java installer) select Star_Front_Collision_HD_Samsung_GTi9000_Galaxy_S_dj and then ok after some time i get sucsesfully patched but i get some random gameloft games not the one i placed in patcher(selected),btw isnt full directory /mnt/sdcard/sxternal_sd/GL snd not without /mnt/ directory i use galaxy sl.

@bigdyl69 & all others;
hi anybody can upload their game data? i already have the apk's but its requiring to download the game using wifi-idont have wifi-i use only 3g...anybody. thanks

works with my SGS i9003
..yey! ..tnx a lot!
..works with my SGS i9003.
..works on: sandstorm, brothers in arms 2, gangstar: west coast hustle, shrek kart ..and will be adding more!!!!!
tips:
..download link above to your pc..works with my win 7.
..be patient while the auto.patch is generating the patched apk until it gives u the option to save it..give it maybe 30-60sec.
..folder should be in this format: "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Gl"
..make sure folder is allredy created before installing the game(apk patched)
..you could use either already downloaded game data or redownload again once you open the game.
..tnx a lot and very nice work with the link and guide and also the creator,, DUERO! haha! good job!!!!

Paradise Island Trainer

For those who play this game. Check it out!!
This does work for the newest version. 1.2 (62)
Paradise Island Trainer
Android APK - Mirror
Desktop Java App - Mirror
He has the apk and the desktop app.
Android APK-
All you have to do is edit the permissions of the profile0.sav file and the apk will work. Root Explore is what I use.
Location on Android:
data/data/com.seventeenbullets.android.island/files/profile0.sav
Desktop Java App-
Place the jar file and the sav file in the same folder.
Use command-line as follows: java -jar PITrainer.jar profile0.sav
More info on the link above.
Notes: I have done this and it works. I have done a lot to mess with this game and have been even suspended from the Sociality stuff for the time change cheat. I did get it back after time caught up. This trainer hasn't given me any trouble but does take away from the game a little if you've worked your butt off on it.

Hi I already download the files but I can not find the folder where the file profile0.sav and i install several programs to explore the phone and find the folder in any, or the file, I look in the phone and connect it to the computer and either,
someone who can help me?

could it be that the app is broken? my phone is rooted, all permissions for user, admin and others are setted but when i start the pitrainer my phone just vibrates a few times and then broke up the app? :\
anybody knows how i could make the trainer running?

Location of profile0.sav-
data/data/com.seventeenbullets.android.island/files/profile0.sav
edit the permissions of the profile0.sav file.
Nothing else to do. If the permissions are not set or your game file is bad, it will not open.
Might try the desktop.

pitrainer
i changed the permissions for the profile file and it worked fine. but, now after using the trainer a couple times successfully, every time i open pitrainer it immediately encounters an error and says that it is unable to open. i tried reinstalling paradise island and using the trainer but, it still won't work. has anyone else had success using this. maybe the last update disabled the use of the trainer?

Hi I like to confirm that this works with v1.2.23. Cheers

Great.. I did it. It's works in my mobile.

NullPointerException
HTML:
Hi
I receive NullPointerException when I run .jar file using windows command prompt
After entering ActionEnergy and hit enter this exception occures. Please help what I need to do? Using root explorer I have changed the file permissions but when I copy file to storage so that I could copy on my computer, but as soon as I copy on storage (profile0.sav) the file permission reset. Then using windows security I have changed permission but still get the same exception. And .apk just open and closes with error.
device is rooted as I could change file permissions.

the .sav file is no more.
all i can find is a .obb file
does this trainer work with it? and if yes, please tell me how.
Thanks!

Reason it's saying that is because that *.obb file isn't put where it needs to go, so it wants to download it, and thinks it's not paid for.
I don't know the location on the AFTV as my ES File Explorer won't get off the SDCard. But it's generally ../android/obb directory.
Also, you need to copy the *.obb file over before installing the *.apk file, or it will error out with the same error.

Thanks for response. I tried that but didnt work. Here's my location of where the OBB file is
\Xperia Tablet Z\Internal storage\Android\obb\com-lego-fusion-townmaster

hmm, okay. Well, I'm getting my usb stick tomorrow and will have to deal with this myself, so give me a few days and maybe I'll have an answer for you.

Great! Hope you can figure this out. Thanks again

okay, what I have found out so far is that the obb directory is /sdcard/Android/obb and I needed to turn on root access in es file to see it.
Copying the directory of stuff into there, and then you install the *.apk
If you installed the *.apk first, then uninstall it, then copy the stuff over, then install it.
Should work for most stuff, but I haven't played with it much. Been busy.
Was really hard to find at first, the location. But I didn't have root enabled in es file.

Where did you find it?
Where did you get this obb file I've search the internet for it and all I get is this same exact post on 20 different website's.
Thanks

[Q] So Confused (apks)

So I'm trying to sideload apps for me and my best friend ftv's. I have XBMC up and running with not problem.(1) I'm having the hardest time sideloading Vice City and San Andreas. Every version I download won't upload. I am also having problem with emulators. (2) I keep uploading SegaGen,Nes and Snes emulators but they either won't load or I don't know how to map the buttons. (3) What's the best way to get to roms? Should they be zipped or unzipped? Thanks for everyone that helps.

1. Okay, pirating Android Apps 101, if they have an "obb" files, then those files need to be copied to the Android/obb directory. Which is /sdcard/Amazon/obb directory. Then you install the apk. And they should run fine. While I didn't do VC, I do have SA running fine on my system. Maybe require root to get write to the directory.
2. Need to be more specific
3. The best way to get roms is to download them. And generally most emulators let roms be zipped, but there are some that don't. I suggest reading the info about the emulators you download.

How to load games onto the Amazona Fire Tv?

So, I'm at the beginning stages of learning how to load games (roms) onto the Amazon Fire Tv.
From what I read so far, I would need an emulator. So, I installed Snes9x.
Now how do I load the games?

From PC/Mac you can use adbfire to push files to your AFTV. From Android Tablet/Smartphone you can use apps2fire to push files. On AFTV you can download Total Commander as file manager to manage your files...

Ok, I'm now playing these games but for some reason I can't get any Mario games to play on the AFTV. I can get other games like Donkeys Kong, Asteroids and Legends of Zelda to work.
I'm using Snesx9 and some other emulators I downloaded from within Retroarch (Black & White bug icon).
Things I've noticed:
1. I've only be able to play .bin & .zip files when I download these roms (games)
2. I can't get any Mario games to work (Super Mario Bros, Mario Cart, Mario Paint...etc)
3. None of the emulators play .7z (even after extracting the .7z files)
4. Best Buy doesn't sell the AFTV gaming controller (guess I'll have to go online)
Web sites I've used to get these roms from within ES File Explorer:
1. http://www.emuparadise.me/
2. http://www.doperoms.com/
Questions:
1. Is there a way to make this whole process "cleaner"
2. Also, how can I got Super Mario Bros to work. LOL!
Thanks guys,

I think that you should not post links to rom sites because it is only legal to use them when you own the games yourself! And I thing thats the wrong forum for that... RetroArch/libretro have their own forum
But what I can tell you is that I use RetroArch and am able to play nearly all NES/SNES, Genesis/32x and Master System ROMs without problems. Best core for SNES emulation in my opinion is SNES9X Next. It does not need any BIOS files that are used in some special games that had an extension chip inside the cartridge.
To make this whole process cleaner I can tell you that I use adbfire on mac and apps2fire on android tablet to upload files to my AFTVS and then I use Total Commander to manage my files
Maybe you can tell me exactly which "Super Mario Bros." you mean? The original one for NES or Super Mario All-Stars for SNES...???

I did get Super Mario Bros to work finally! I used loveroms.com (opps wasn't suppose to post that:silly.
One more question when I was first trying to get all this stuff to work, I was looking for files that ended in ".rom" for the games. Seems like the .zip files are the only ones I see. Aren't these games ripped then compressed into .zip files?
Thanks again:good:
