Hacking into Android App/Game database [Editing the Highest Score] #1
No!! Its not really Hacking into database of Android Apps or Games. I would stick to the word Editing for that.

Purpose of Entering the Database:


The purpose depends upon the user basically but one thing is always the same: Getting/Modifying the data stored in Database.
So, I'll tell you how to modify your scores in some Android games. Yes!! Edit your High Score and Showoff in your friends Circle.

What you need:


A rooted Android device.[If you want the method for Non-Rooted device, post below and I'll guide you (ADB method)]
Any SQLite editor app. [This one is a simple free one I found. Credits to the author. Its not my App (will build my own the next month after my exams).

Method:

Okay, lets choose a game first. I select MotoRacer. I love this racing game :Laughing:.

Here is the current scoreboard.

Now Run the SQLite App and it displays all the Apps currently Installed in your device.

Now select the Game. I selected MotoRacer in my case.

Ahh!! We got the Database list. Select the database that holds the Score. The name of the database should hint which one contains the scores. If not, open each database and check. I got mine: scoreclient.db. Lets open it.

Okay, so We got what we wanted: score. Open it.

WoW!! the score database!! Don't wait! Just select a Record and Tap on Edit Record.

You can Add a new record or just modify an existing one, like this. Enter the Score in score_value [Whatever you want] and the user_name [your name].

Now Save and Exit.

Run the Game again and check the score. Cool Eh!!

If your device is not Rooted, you can use ADB to do the same [I'll post it in my Next tutorial]
You can even find out your Lock Screen Pattern from the database in case you forget it. [ADB only (next tutorial)]

Regards.

EDIT: Sorry for those Landscape screenshots.
