While I like the app...this is one reason for me to remove it. That and my wife quit playing and that was the only reason I loaded it ...You can find the images in misc\Android\Android\data\com.zynga.words\cache\FB Images
However, they will just be redownloaded the next time you load the app
06-06-12 01:27 PM - Found a way to stop the images being saved!
EDIT: Much easier method than below.
Get Dingleberry from here: http://dingleberry.it/ (don't worry, this doesn't involve root in anyway)
Download this script and put it in dingleberry's "Script" directory: wwffix.script
Run Dingleberry and click the "Install/SSH" button. Click the "Click to select" button and choose the "wwffix.script" file you just put in the Scripts directory.
The status box at the bottom will say "Installing script" and then "You are not root! Script failed". This is OK, don't panic
Click the "Dingle SSH" button at the bottom of the window. A terminal window will appear (black box with white text).
A couple of lines will appear about "jailbreak failed" - that's OK, ignore them
You'll get a $ prompt. At this point type these three lines (wait for $ prompt again each time):
You can then close the SSH window and Dingleberry and (hopefully) Words With Friends will no longer save FB imagesCode:chmod 0755 shell.sh ./shell.sh rm shell.sh
--ORIGINAL POST--
It's not the simplest process, but it's not extremely difficult. First off, you need to put your PB in development mode (shouldn't be a problem there seeing as you must have sideloaded the game)
Then, download this: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ect-qt-644380/ - it's a utility called "Playbook Connect" by xsacha. You run it on your computer, enter your PB's IP and password and it'll make it possible to connect to your PB via SSH. (it's also possible to use Dingleberry if you already have that handy; doesn't require root, Dingleberry can make SSH possible without rooting)
Next, get WinSCP if you don't already have it. Get it here: WinSCP :: Free SFTP and FTP client for Windows
Install and run WinSCP. At the WinSCP login prompt, click "New". Enter your PB's IP for "Host name". Leave port as 22. Enter "devuser" as user name and your PB password as password. For "Private key file", navigate to where you have Playbook Connect and choose "rsa.ppk" from that folder. Click "Save" to save the session (makes it easier to connect in future if you want to) and then click "Login".
After a moment, a file browser will appear with two panes. On the left is your PC, on the right is your PB. On the right, double click the ".." at the top. You should now see two folders; "devuser" and "1000". Go into "1000". Then continue navigating through folders until you reach this path:
/accounts/1000/shared/misc/android/Android/data/com.zynga.words/cache
You will see a folder called "FBImages". Click on it and then press delete to delete the folder. Then press F7 or right click and select new>directory.
A dialog will appear. Name the folder FBImages.
Now the most important part: in the "Attributes" section of the dialog, tick the "Set Permissions" box. Then untick the "W" box on the first line (this should change the number in the box below the tick boxes to 0555). Click OK.
The app will no longer save the images!
(This is a slightly convoluted method, and there is bound to be a simpler way, but this is the only way I have succeeded in making a read-only folder so far)
EDIT: On second thoughts, this may not have been what stopped it. I had been playing about with the APK before trying to stop it, and as I was messing with this a little further, I deleted the read only folder, and launching the app again didn't cause images to be saved...Although I don't think any of the APK stuff I messed with worked. So I don't honestly know if this method I described here truly works or not. But there's no harm in tryingLast edited by SifJar; 06-09-12 at 02:29 PM.
