Roblox Android Client Content Folder Missing Files

Android Phone: Redmi 9 Prime (lancelot)
Phone is rooted with Magisk
Roblox Client Ver: 2.666.609

Im making a new software like bloxstrap but in mobile. I was messing around Roblox’s data structure (with root) and the contents folder which once had contents inside doesnt have anymore

I also tried debugging things by deleting the contents folder and after I launch Roblox, its getting created

logcat shows that the content folder has been set too:

heres an image of the problem:

What i expect: files inside app_assets that users can modify (with root)
Problem: The APK only has the assets file inside, but installing it seems to be not extracted inside the data

Hey Drake,

Thanks for reporting this. Are you looking for specific files in the content folder, do is there a workflow that worked before but not anymore because this?

We’ve all the files inside the APK now. But keeping the folder structure just in case. We should not count on these folders being present anymore.

Thanks

Hello Daiwei, sorry late reply
my project im currently developing on aims to replicate the project Bloxstrap which follows Roblox’s TOS. Yes i am looking for files inside the contents folder (/data/data/com.roblox.client/app_assets/*) but everything seems to be empty and only leaves the folders. It should be present in every client (Windows, macOS) except for android. Is it disabled in the android client? I do not want to modify the APK file and reinstall roblox because it breaks TOS. I except that there should be files inside.

Also i was able to modify the asset files before but now it seems like i cant do it

Yeah, unfortunately the content in user data folder is removed because we are able to load everything directly from the APK now. This is to improve the performance for Roblox Android client and save users’ disk usage. Android is special because how Google designed its packaging system.
