[Q] Can someone make an app for me? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I need an app and wanted to know if there is someone who has the "know how", the time and the willingness to make it for me.
The app shall ask me where 'the' folder of pictures is,
where I want to save the new pictures,
what the name the folder new folder is,
then for each picture in that folder it shall make 3 versions (jpg compression and picture size would be different),
save them "optimized for the web" and
write a a two dimensional Java-array with informations which are based on the height and width of each version and the filename (it would be awesome if I could configure that output via settings).
Code:
var bilder = new Array();
bilder[0] = new Array();
bilder[0][0] ="Bild-1"; //filename
bilder[0][1] =64; //hight of small version
bilder[0][2] =45; //width of small version
bilder[0][3] =512; //height of medium version
bilder[0][4] =362; //width of medium version
bilder[0][5] =864; //height of big version
bilder[0][6] =611; //width of big version
bilder[0][7] =35; //position in the gallery (to configure this would be awesome)
bilder[0][8] =7; //position in the mini-gallery (to configure this would be awesome)
bilder[0][9] =false; //loading state
bilder[1] = new Array();
bilder[1][0] ="Bild-2";
bilder[1][1] =45;
bilder[1][2] =64;
bilder[1][3] =356;
bilder[1][4] =512;
bilder[1][5] =802;
bilder[1][6] =1152;
bilder[1][7] =432;
bilder[1][8] =59;
bilder[1][9] =false;

Thanks for reading and helping me!?

Formatting your phone book to work with facebook sync

In the spirit of xmas, i figured i'd try & contribute something to the community
I just upgraded to the new Energyrom with sense 2.5, and noticed that it will search your facebook for people that match contacts, and give you the option to sync certain info with your phone, ie, pictures.
Problem is, if you're anything like me, your contacts aren't exactly in WinMo-friendly format. Specifically, it'll only sync contacts where the first & last name are in separate fields. Having just imported my contacts from an old phone via sim card to my raphael, this was not the case.
Anyway, here's how to fix it (note that if you do this, it will overwrite any photos you may have on contacts with their facebook photos. The solution to this is to, when your phone asks if you want to link facebook profiles with contacts, deselect the names of people whose pictures you'd like to keep.
Step 1: Sync your contacts with outlook, then go to Contacts in outlook
Step 2: In outlook, go to file->import/export
Step 3: Click Export to a File and click next
Step 4: Click Microsoft Excel 97-2003, click next
Step 5: click contacts, click next
Step 6:Select a destination file and click next until that process is finished
Now open Excel
Step 1: highlight the column with your full names
Step 2: Click the Data tab, click Text to Clumns
Step 3: Click next
Step 4: Deselect all delimiters except Space
Step 5: Click next until finished
This will split off all of your last names into the next column. Do any necessary tidying up by hand until you have two clear columns with first/last name. This might be a good time to remove duplicates, the function right next to the Text to Columns function in the data tab.
Save your excel file.
Now back to Outlook
Step 1: Go to contacts, delete all of your contacts
Step 2: File -> import/export
Step 3: Import from another program or file, click next
Step 4: select Microsoft Excel 97-2003
Step 5: make sure "File to Import" is the file you just finished
Step 6: Your call on duplicates, shouldn't matter. Click through until finished
Okay, now just resynch with your phone.
If your having the problem of all your contacts filed as Last, First, follow these steps:
(note: i didn't write this code, but i forgot at what site i found it, so i'm not giving credit where it's due... if you're curious, just google it)
Step 1: Press alt+f11
Step 2: In projects window, go to ThisOutlookSession
Step 3: Paste the code below
Step 4: Uncomment the strFileAs line that you want to format your contacts as
Step 5: close VB editor
Step 6: Go to tools -> macros -> macros
Step 7: Run your new macro. voila.
Code:
Public Sub ChangeFileAs()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim objItems As Outlook.Items
Dim objContactsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim obj As Object
Dim strFirstName As String
Dim strLastName As String
Dim strFileAs As String
On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objContactsFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set objItems = objContactsFolder.Items
For Each obj In objItems
'Test for contact and not distribution list
If obj.Class = olContact Then
Set objContact = obj
With objContact
' Uncomment the strFileAs line for the desired format
'Lastname, Firstname (Company) format
' strFileAs = .FullNameAndCompany
'Firstname Lastname format
' strFileAs = .FullName
'Lastname, Firstname format
' strFileAs = .LastNameAndFirstName
'Company name only
' strFileAs = .CompanyName
'Companyname (Lastname, Firstname)
' strFileAs = .CompanyAndFullName
.FileAs = strFileAs
.Save
End With
End If
Err.Clear
Next
Set objOL = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set obj = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing
Set objItems = Nothing
Set objContactsFolder = Nothing
End Sub
Great POST and clearly layed out.
After reading this I dicided to do this but then found out how terribly I name my contacts, nick names etc.
After I had sorted out all the contacts with there right name and re-synced my contacts back to my phone (you might want to mention this in your first POST) that you will loose any pictures you had associated with the contacts (other than the facebook ones), but this is ok because they will be replaced by the new facebook ones but there are still some people in this world that dont have a Facebook account (cave dwellers etc (Joking)) that I had photo's attached to that are now gone&I dont have a seperate copy (its ok I did backup before I attempted this so I could get them back if I wanted).
After I have sync back I remebered why I never did this before, thats because if you put the names in the right sections then in your contacts on your phone you get the lastname first e.g instead of 'John Smith' you get 'Smith, John' which is a horrible way to view them.
I will continue to find a solution and let you know here if I find an answer.
Thank you again
Install and run this on your PPC and it will convert all your contacts to First, Last format.

This is covered by the last portion of my post. If you can convert all contacts to "file as:" in the first last format, they will sync to your phone that way. How it displays is contingent upon a setting in each contact, not your phone or anything. Running that VB macro will convert each contact to the format you're looking for, let me know if you have a problem!

[Request] re-build individual file from source and push to phone

I don't have a working build environment and I'm not sure how to do this. I want to edit the file from source. The source code path is:
msm/drivers/power/ds2784_battery.c
Which belongs in the file system:
/sys/devices/platform/ds2784-battery
I specifically want to edit one line of code and change the following line 380:
(di->status.current_uA <= 80000) &&
And change it to
(di->status.current_uA <= 10000) &&
I don't know enough, but is it possible to make a small edit like this and recompile just this individual file, and then for me to push this edited file to my phone(rooted obviously)? Is this feasible or am I just in way over my head? If anyone could guide me, or better yet make this edit for me I would be very greatful and willing to test it out on my phone. Thanks.
Hi,
I build the file for you from synced tree about 20min ago from cyanogen's repository.
Unfortunately, u can't push any files to /sys even when you have root because those files are automaticaly generated by kernel as same as files in /dev.
So i build the whole kernel for nexus one with that modification you want.
single file is there http://www.multiupload.com/WJA1GXEANV
and whole kernel is there http://www.multiupload.com/BS3YR6P2K1
Just to notice you, you wanted to lower the value from 80000 to 10000 but there is just 1024 instead of 80000 in the cyanogen's source so i raised it to 10000 as you want.
Hope this helps. Let me know if this works..
(and sorry for my english )
Thank you. I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that the cyanogen version of this file ds2784_battery.c was not set to 80000 like the stock source code showed? You say that you had to raise that value from 1024. I don't understand why it would be different than AOSP. Thank you, I'll try it when I get home.
Yes, you understand right, cyanogen's source have that value on 1024 but don't know why.
Yes I am looking at the cyanogen code now, and It is different than AOSP file. However running cyanogen ROM the file still behaves as if 80000 was there. Hope I can find the correct value and I will post back. Thanks
I just looked at the source again and maybe i changed something else because line 380 is not same as you wrote.
Look yourself here http://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-kernel/blob/android-msm-2.6.34/drivers/power/ds2784_battery.c
Yes the code is different, so I am looking for the Correct line to change. Thank I'll post back when I find it.
I've looked and looked thru as much as i could, and i cannot locate the identified code i found in the earlier version, where it speifies mA < 80000 (80 mA). the strange thing is that my current installation of cyanogen RC3 is still functioning as if 80 mA were set. the charger shuts off still at 80 mA. maybe someone else can guide me to see what i'm missing.
ok i have the new code i'd like to try out if you dont mind. i'm running cm rc3, and wanted to edit the ds2784_battery.c file with the following line 450:
original:
PHP:
if (di->status.status_reg & 0x80) {
di->status.battery_full = 1;
charge_mode = CHARGE_BATT_DISABLE;
} else
di->status.battery_full = 0;
new
PHP:
if ((di->status.status_reg & 0x80) && (di->status.current_uA <=20000)) {
di->status.battery_full = 1;
charge_mode = CHARGE_BATT_DISABLE;
} else
di->status.battery_full = 0;
only one change was made to line 450. could you make a flashable file? thanks so much if you have the time

FolioTNTmod 0.4 - Issues and bugs

This thread should be used for bugreporting and troubleshooting.

I've found a way to access Accounts Sync and Keyboard installation.
first, Accounts Sync :
- you must install LauncherPro even if you do not use it.
- On the desktop, add a new shortcut, select "Activities".
- Under "Account Settings and Sync" select "com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings.
Well, now you have a shortcut on the desktop to access the sync settings.
Keyboard installation :
After installing your alternative keyboard, copy the APK from /data/app/ to /system/app/
I create a simple script (in Gscript) that mount the file system as read/write , copy the APK, and enable the "SmartKeyboardPro" keyboard (after reboot).
code :
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
cp /data/app/net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro-1.apk /system/app/
**optional**
reboot
**optional**
I was playing with Angry birds and after a reboot the application was corrupted in some way, the icon dissapeared and I had to reinstall, but the configuration was saved.
In anycase I used Angry Birds backup to backup it and after Andexplorer to copy the backup from the internal SD to the external one, to my surprise, the internal one was not present on Andexplorer (but I was able to go trought /mnt/sdcard).
Now I can see it again but there are a lot of files DiskCacheIndexxxxx.tmp, any clues?

Yeah, thank you for this tweak
Orientation has some problems..
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation()
should return 0, when Orientation is setted to Landscape...
but it returns Surface.ROTATION_90.
(I'm using 0.4a version)
Davide
This is intended behaviour. It fixes the sensor issues for many applications, as developers didn't prepare their apps for devices with natural orientation set to landscape.
Is this causing any problems for you?
Thank you for your reply.
I'm developing an android game that uses accelerometer to evaluate gravity force's vector. I would like to write portable code (to work on both phones and tablets), so the right code to evaluate gravity (ignoring other forces) should be:
screenRotation = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
[...]
float x;
float y;
float z;
if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_0) // Default portrait
{
x = event.values[0];
y = event.values[1];
} else if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_90) // Default landscape
{
x = -event.values[1];
y = event.values[0];
} else if (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_180)
{
x = -event.values[0];
y = -event.values[1];
} else// (screenRotation == Surface.ROTATION_270)
{
x = event.values[1];
y = -event.values[0];
}
z = event.values[2];
gravity.x = -x;
gravity.y = -y;
gravity.z = -z;
This should be the right way to ensure portability.. (it's similar to the Nvidia 'Android Accelerometer Whitepaper''s way),
but it's not working with this patch on Folio (y results in reverse, and rotation sensibility is weird)..
So, to ensure compatibility to games coded only for portrait-native oriented (and, in the same time, ensure correctness to the right written codes), it is not enough to return Surface.ROTATION_90 on landscape orientation, but it should emulate it reversing the values returned by onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event).
In other words,
(EMULATED)event.values[0] = (ORIGINAL)event.values[1]
(EMULATED)event.values[1] = -(ORIGINAL)event.values[0]
The patch should do that. Could you verify that on FolioMod? Maybe something got broken when this was ported to tnt.
Also the Nvidia whitepaper states the following for rotating the values:
90°
x = -v[1]
y = -v[0]
180°
x = -v[0]
y = v[1]
270°
x = v[1]
y = v[0]
Also, please check if you are using the newer API for listning to events (the one that uses SensorEventListener) The legacy Api handles rotations by itself, so you should not handle this in your code.
Yes, I'm using SensorEventListener.

Click to expand...

This is the canonicalToScreen transform for rotating values,
for screen coordinates, increasing y is down (so I'm using world transform).
Sure that the returned value are (for every rotation angle) these:
(EMULATED)event.values[0] = (ORIGINAL)event.values[1]
(EMULATED)event.values[1] = -(ORIGINAL)event.values[0]
?
To understand if it's a my mistake, I've downloaded a free app from the market, JumpyBall 3D Lite, and I noticed that also in this game tilt behaviour is reversed in one direction (could someone test it on the FolioMod?)..
I've checked the code, and yes in the last version for the fix the accelerometer values are rotated in the correct way:
Code:
switch ( sensor.getType() ) {
// ...
case Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER: {
if ( legacy == false ) {
valuesOut[0] = valuesIn[1];
valuesOut[1] = -valuesIn[0];
}
break;
}
}
However there was an issue with the first release of the fix, as my portrait testgame was using legacy API, and therefore values were somewhat broken.
Maybe only the first version of the patch is in TNT?
By the way, the code that was modified for the fix has been posted in the kernel and tweaks thread. You should be able to verify that TNT has the correct version of the fix or be able to create a patch for TNT. (Do not try to flash the update, it will most certainly break your framework.jar)
Edit:
JumpyBall 3D is working as expected on FolioMod, therefore i think TNT only has the first revision of the patch included.
Ok, thank you!!
Problems
Thanks for a great ROM...
I have a few problems.. Hope someone can help:
Some applications like NFS:Shift and Grooveshark can't access the internet..
Contacts gives a FC..
I can't seem to sync contacts and calendar from my exchange sync.. I can choose to do so, by entering the sync & accounts through pro launcher, but I can't enable sync, so only email works..
I think that was it for now...
Hope someone can help
***Update***
I got contact and calendar sync to work by installing the contacts application from FolioMod and the Calendar app from The TnT Lite mod from Viewsonic...

[BUG REPORTING] DizzyDen's IMEIme IMEI Generator

BUG REPORTING:
This program was initially ineteded to generate a unique IMEI based on your device S/N and update Dev's install zip files... it has become so much more, and as such there are many functions involved in this process.
Due to the complexity the program has taken on... far beyond what I initially intended... to report bugs please try to use the following as a template:
Function attempting: i.e. Updating ROM... In Place Upgrade... Update framework saved on computer... etc.
Error Messages: any error message you receive... or the last message you saw prior to the issue.
End result: i.e. TelephonyManager updated, ROM not... TelephonyManager updated framework.jar not... etc....
Environment: ROM in same folder as !IMEIme.exe... ROM on same drive as IMEIme.exe... ROM on different drive... etc. (same for framework if updating framework instead)
!IMEIme.ini settings: you can put your entire ini file if you'd like.
If you could take notes of EXACTLY what buttons you click on which prompt it would be EXTREMELY helpful...
As I said, this program has taken on functions I initially had not imagined including... the more features added, the more complex testing and tracking bugs becomes... I don't want to include a bunch of messages just for the sake of letting you know where in the code you are... would not be beneficial to you... more buttons to click for no reason, etc.
The more detailed you can be, the quicker I can see what is happening... otherwise I have to try to duplicate what I think you are doing when you get the error.
Everyone should click "Thanks" on bug report posts... they have been instrumental in getting the program where it is so far.

Adverse effects after running
First off, thanks for a wonderful application! Your app did in fact correctly give my Kindle a IDEI number, but it seems to have adverse effects.
Function attempting: Tried both in place Rom and update device and now attempting to use app with sound
Error Messages: Unfortunately DSP Manager has stopped (repeatably on any app)
End result: No sound and music apps crash. Some apps work but many do not. (I can provide logcat if needed)

Although I have tried multiple settings and configurations. I am sort of a noob so sorry if this is a silly problem.
Having looked into this... I can tell you there's nothing that the IMEI Generator does that would cause the issues you are seeing. I would recommend flashing a non-IMEI'd ROM for testing... then either do in place IMEI generation or running the IMEI Generator against the same ROM you flash.
For what you are doing... there are 2 files that are being modified, and neither should cause FC issues...
/sysem/build.prop for the manufacture, device, and build fingerprint
/system/framework/framework.jar is being extracted and edited to patch the IMEI in the GetDeviceID() function in android/telephony/TelephonyManager.smali and recompiled.
Clearing cache and dalvik cache may be something to try.
Thanks! Clearing both caches AFTER the install made it work great. I had been clearing all of the memory beforehand but it did not work. My apps now work great!
Motorola Razr GSM (SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF) ICS.

(or dir!!) infact !IMEIme 2.2.0.2 tell me about this issue (no GSMPhone.smali found). framework patched do not present diffecence between original one. exactly the same. no /android/telephony/TelephonyManager.smali mod applied.

stock framework.odex, jar and my deodexed framework attached.
Yes... due to another user trying to use the generator on a device with a framework.odex file instead of framework.jar I am looking into the most effective method of handling that situation. As of now... the generator will not work for you to patch imei functionality into the framework on these devices.
i deodexed also framework.jar but no way to patch it, GSMPhone.smali is missing totally even in backsmalied odex too!!!!
I decided to apply the patch manually, but without this file and TelephonyManager.smali not regoular i was thinking about hard mod by motorola?! do you know something about?
Pls man, give me an hand, show me the way, backsmali it you too http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1634550&d=1357865096
I'm looking into the method to implement the imei into this.
do you mean into TelephonyManager.smali? I'm looking on it too. Seems so strange this framework...
Actually... looking through to find the best call to implement the patch into... TelephonyManager was the original method... but there may be better places to patch it.
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Landroid/telephony/TelephonyManager;->getSubscriberInfo()Lcom/android/internal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo;
move-result-object v2
invoke-interface {v2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo;->getDeviceId()Ljava/lang/String;
All does make sense now:
http://grepcode.com/file/repository...nternal/telephony/IPhoneSubInfo.java?av=f#174
BUT, where is com.android.internal.telephony.iphonesubinfo!?!?! seems not present... all "internal" dir is missing here, backsmali fault or my fault?!
hiiii
hi,
any news of this? =)
This is the best software for this!
I'm working on the best solution... I understand the desire for this... but I want to ensure the method I choose is the best overall... and to ensure I can properly detect which method to implement during the operation.
If you could zip your entire /system/framework folder and add your /system/build.prop file it would help me test some things I've been putting together for odexed systems.

Before I start looking into this... note that the IMEI generator does not support de-odexing odexed systems yet... I would suggest using it on the ROM then flashing it to the device and let the device odex it again.

AndroModding

Requirements:
1) Have the .apk file you want to hack.
2) Have WinRar installed on your PC. (*Download WinRar 32bit*|*Download WinRar 64bit*)
3) Have .NET Reflector. (*Download .NET Reflector 9.0*)
4) Have "Reflexil", a required Plugin to hack files with .NET Reflector. (*Download Reflexil Plugin for .NET Reflector*)
5) Have an APK SIGNER. I personally use the one-click signer. (*Download one click apk signer*)
Get Ready
Let's prepare our workspace:
1) The first step is to look inside our .apk file, in order to be sure it can be hacked with this method. What we will do is to rename the apk from .apk to .zip;
2) Double click on the .zip file and you should be able to open it with WinRar. If not, make right-click and select "Open With..." and then chose "WinRar";
3) Try to go to the following location: assets/bin/Data/Managed/. If you reached it succesfully, and if you see lots of .dll files inside it then YES, you can hack this game (or you can TRY hacking it) using .NET Reflector!
4) Now, extract the whole "Managed" folder wherever you like (I personally have a folder on my Desktop I exclusively use to hack games, where I put all the softwares I need to hack them).
5) Open ".NET Reflector", move ALL THE .DLL FILES from the "Managed" folder inside it (move them in the LEFT box of Reflector).
6) Press F3, then press Ctrl+M. This will enable the Search box and set it properly for our scopes. Please note this must be done EVERY TIME you open .NET Reflector.
7) Launch Reflector (if you read the "ReadMe.txt" into the Reflexil folder of my download link above, you already know how to launch it. Otherwise, well, click on the Gear icon or go to Tools -> Reflexil and click on it)
Ok, we managed to set up everything properly and we can finally start hacking!
Let's start
So, let's read what I'll write below very carefully, since it's easy to understand if you spend enough time reading, ok?
1) The first step, after you grabbed your .apk file is to open it with WinRar (I personally rename the extension to .zip in order to open it automatically with WinRar, but you can simply do Right Click on the .apk file and select "Open With..." -> WinRar).
2) Browse to the following path, inside the WinRar window: assets/bin/data/Managed/, like the screenshot below:

3) Extract (you can simply drag them) all the .dll files of this archive into your desired folder (or, to be faster, just drag the entire "Managed" folder of the archive out of it.
4) Now, Open NET Reflector, press F3 and Ctrl+M (this must be done every time, to quickly set up NET Reflector for our usage), load the "Reflexil" plugin by clicking on the Gear icon and move all the .dll files inside .NET Reflector's window (at the left, like in the screenshot below):

Now we're ready to search, so input your desired keyword in the Search Box and edit the desired code, like in the Screenshot below. Watch it carefully:

6) To edit the code, you need to right-click on the desired instruction you want to modify and select "Edit". When you're done with edits, click on Update, like in the screenshot below:

7) Now, let's save our code. To do this, in the Left panel of .NET Reflector, scroll up until you find the name of the Assembly you modified, then do Right Click -> Reflexil -> Save, like in the screenshot below:

8) It'll add ".Patched" to the original name the of the .dll file, so you know which one is the modified and which one is the original .dll file. Now, to be sure we modified the right code, let's load again the Assembly into .NET Reflector, to see how it does look now. (this step is optional, but recommended if you're not 100% sure the hack is properly coded:

9) Ok, in my example the codes were right so we can proceed adding the modified .dll file to our original .apk file. So we open the .apk file again with WinRar and replace the original "Assembly-Csharp.dll" (or any other .dll files you modified) with the one containing ".Patched", but of course, you need to rename the file to its original name, or the game will not load. So, in my example, I renamed Assembly-Csharp.Patched.dll to Assembly-Csharp.dll in order to restore its original name.
10) Now it's time to sign it (or you can add*toast*before singning apk if you want, before signing the .apk file). So we move the modified .apk file in the same folder of the "one_click_signer.cmd" file (or, if you use another apk signer, use your method to sign it), then we open it by double-clicking it and a Command Prompt window will appear.
All we need to do is to type:
"name of the apk file.apk"
and press Enter, like in the screenshot below (don't forget the "" symbols, they are part of the code you need to write!):

11) That's it! Our MOD APK file is ready! You'll find a new .apk file in this folder, starting with "signed-". This is the signed .apk file you can finally share! But first, of course, test the game and ensure it does properly work. If yes, it means you're a good hacker and you can finally upload the .apk file to share it with everyone! If the .apk file is not properly working, or if the codes you made aren't showing, well, don't lose hope! Just try again, modifying some other offsets! Good luck!

If you need help, as always, reply below and I'll be glad to add further details or to give you an helping hand!*
Do you have an Int32?
You can return a value this way:
ldc.i4 -> Int32 -> Your_Value (no limits)
ret
or
ldc.i4.s -> SByte -> Your_Value (max 128)
ret
Do you have an Int64?
You can return a value this way:
ldc.i8 -> Int64 -> Your_Value
ret
Do you have a Single?
You can return a value this way:
ldc.r4 -> Single -> Your_Value
ret
Do you have a Double?
You can return a value this way:
ldc.r8 -> Double -> Your_Value
ret
Do you have a "Boolean"?
I'm used to compare "Boolean" with a question. Basically, it "asks" something to the game, and the game will answer with True (yes) or False (no).
For example: get_isVip will "ask" the game if the user is a VIP, and the game will probably answer "No, he's not a VIP!!!", so what can we do here?
We have two ways. The first (easier, but you will not learn much..) is about returning always True (yes), while the second (not alwasy applicable, but it's the "pros" way) is about making the game thing you're a VIP for real.
But first, let's explain how to return "True" or "False" in the game.
True = ldc.i4.1 (or ldc.i4 -> Int32 -> 1)*
False = ldc.i4.0 (or ldc.i4 -> Int32 -> 0)
Beware that you must always use ldc.i4 (and not ldc.r4, ldc.i8 and so on..) or the game will crash.
So, the easiest way to always return True (or False) to a Boolean is to replace the whole function with:
[TRUE]
ldc.i4.1
ret
[FALSE]
ldc.i4.0
ret
Now, let's talk about the pros' method. As we said above, it's all about making the game think you're a VIP for real, so the Boolean will naturally return a true value, even if we both know you're not a VIP for real in the game (of course I talk about VIP to make an example, you can replace the word "VIP" with anything. For example, "get_isUnlocked" or simply "IsUnlocked" is a boolean to unlock stuff in the game and so on.. it's up to you to find the right keyword to hack a value).
Sometimes, there are some "checks" to ensure if you're a VIP or not. For example, the game checks you VIP level and, if it's equal to 0 returns a false, while if it's higher than 0, it returns true.
It should look like this (very basic example) in NET Reflector decompilation window:
get_isVip {
if (this.Player.get_vipLevel) > 0*
{
return true
}
return false
}
And, in Reflexil (the plugin's window you have at the bottom) you should see something like:
0 ldarg.0
1 ldfld Player.get_vipLevel
2 ldc.i4 0
3 bge (6 -> ldc.i4.1)
4 ldc.i4.0
5 br (7 -> ret)
6 ldc.i4.1
7 ret
Now, it's not that hard to understand what Reflexil says. Let's compare the text with the NET Reflector's decompiled code:
ldarg.0 -> "this."
ldfld -> loads the value, in particular, the one about the Player's vip Level
ldc.i4 0 -> it means 0, referring to the player's vip level
bge (6 -> ldc.i4.1) -> it means "branch if greather than". This means, if the Player's vip Level (ldarg.0 + ldfld) is greather than 0 (ldc.i4 0), the function will jump to the sixth function (ldc.i4.1 which means true)
ldc.i4.0 -> which means false. If the function didn't jump to the ldc.i4.1, the game will return this value (false) so the player will not be a VIP
br (7 -> ret) -> this will jump to the 7th function, which is the "ret". Of course, after returning the false, the function needs to close itself, so it'll jump to the "ret" at the end of it.
ldc.i4.1 -> this means true and it's called by the "bge" we've seen above. This is the only way this value is called so, if the player value is higher than 0, this will be the next value returned = the Player IS a VIP.
ret -> You know better than me that "ret" ends the function. Remember EVERY function in the game must end with "ret" or the game will not work properly.
So, after this long and boring lesson, what's the pros' way to hack this?
The answer is in your brain. If the player vip level is higher than 0, the player will be a VIP so what will we do? Of course, we'll hack the player vip level! How? Simply look for "get_vipLevel" (please note this is just an example, it doesn't apply to any particular games and the keyword could change) and it'll probably be an Int32 so you'll simply replace its whole function to:
ldc.i4 -> Int32 -> 15 (for example, as most games with the VIP interface caps the VIP level at 15, while some other have got 10 as VIP level's cap)
ret
This will not only automatically enable your VIP membership, but it will also give you a VIP level = 15.
Please note, even if we manage to hack the VIP level in particular, some online games will still NOT give you the privileges of the VIP membership, or you will get only some of them. Why? Because sometimes the vip level in online games is managed by the server, so you could be the only one seeing you're a VIP member, while all the other people will see you're NOT a VIP member, because you're not a VIP for the server. So, if this value is server-sided, you may still not be able to get your vip privileges with this hack.
How to multiply a value?
Easy, you have to add the number you want to multiply the value with followed by "mul", before the "ret" or, to be more precise, after the function returns the value you want to hack.
Example:
ldarg.0 (which means "this.")
ldfld Player::get_money
ldc.i4 (or ldc.i8, or ldc.r4, or ldc.r8. Which one? See my above examples) -> Int32 (or Int64, or Single, or Double. Which one? See my above examples) -> Your_Value
mul
ret
Sometimes the function returns different values if different events occur, so it could be necessary to multiply more values.
How to divide/subtract/add a value?
It's the same as before, you just need to use "div" (or "sub" or "add") and not "mul" (div = divide, mul = multiply, sub = subtract, add = add).
What's the difference between multiplying something and simply returning 9999999?
The main difference is that returning 9999999 will give a STATIC value. It will never decrease/increase, while multiplying (or adding) a value will give a DYNAMIC value, so you can run out of money, but you theorically also have a lower ban chance. Don't think about 9999999 only when talking about money. This could be HP or Damage or XP and so on..

Help
Hey I’m new to this. I was wondering if there is another method to this because my game doesn’t have the dll files there. It has some folders such as meta data. Thanks
So i modded a dll from a multiplatform .NET app and it works fine when using it on PC. But when placing it in the app, all i get is a black screen.
