Root search function, macromedia folder, the lame reason why I've rooted

[Seventeen]

Hi all,

I have a bit of a fact to admit. The original reason I rooted my phone was so that I could play Learn to Fly 2 with my saved profile.

There, I said it!

Basically, the flash game uses flash cookies (.sol files) to save games and keep your progress. I'd already completed the main story mode on my PC so I wanted to copy the save (mainprofile.sol) over to my phone.

I ran the game as a .swf from my phone just fine and was able to load saved games generated on the phone. But maaaaaaaaaaan:

Where the crap are .sol files / flash cookies stored on / in Android phones?

I rooted my phone hoping that Droid Explorer would help me look for it. No-freaking-go. Turns out there is no search function in Droid Explorer. Right. So I try ES File Explorer and File Expert. Neither search in root.

All I know is that the file I want to copy over is called mainprofile.sol and it is stored in a macromedia folder. Here is also what I know:

On Microsoft Windows NT 5.x, they are stored in:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object#cite_note-flash_cookie_forensics-11

• %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
• %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\

On Microsoft Windows NT 6.x, they are stored in:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object#cite_note-flash_cookie_forensics-11

• %APPDATA%\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
• %APPDATA%\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\

On Mac OS X, they are stored in:

• ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/
• ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/

On Linux or Unix, they are stored in:

• ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
• ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/

So where is this folder for Android? I've searched all over the internet and all that comes up is where the folder is for PC operating systems, and an Android Forums thread that never got its question answered. (http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/182898-flash-shared-objects-flash-cookies.html)

So if you could help me I would be really grateful! (Gotta get my Learn to Fly on)

1. What app or explorer or Windows program can let you search through root / internal memory?
2. Otherwise, where are .sol files / flash cookies stored with Android?

Thanks in advance!

Install Root Explorer from the android market and then do a search from the root ("/") folder. I would try searching for .sol

I found where the file is! Good to know Root Explorer actually works! I'm just surprised that ES and File Expert couldn't do it, even with a rooted phone. I can't imagine a program could have that much more up its sleeve.

I'm still having trouble getting the game to recognise the copied-over save file / mainprofile.sol though. I'm guessing there is some kind of client ID code in the file that ties it to my PC. I'll test on another computer some time and see. In the mean time, here are some general flash cookie directories for anyone who finds this thread:

/data/data/com.exigo.tiny/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/XDU9CWXM/grooveshark.com/JSPlayer.swf/gsGlobal.sol

/data/data/com.exigo.tiny/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/adobe.com/flashplayer/settings.sol

/data/data/com.andy.flash/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/YYGZAFY9/localhost/Folder/learntofly/secure_Learn2Fly.swf/mainprofile.sol

/data/data/com.andy.flash/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/adobe.com/flashplayer/#local/settings.sol

The directory "YYGZAFY9" will likely be different in each situation, but it is the only folder in the #SharedObjects folder.
