Why aren't my game changes saving?

If your edits disappear or get reset, the game is almost certainly storing that data somewhere Cheat Droid can’t change – usually online, or behind protection. Cheat Droid can only edit data saved locally on your device, so some games are simply harder (or impossible) to hack.

Common reasons your changes don’t stick

• Encryption. The game may encrypt its Shared Preferences, so your edited values are unreadable or invalid.
• Checksums. Many games store a checksum to verify the file hasn’t been tampered with; if it doesn’t match, your changes are rejected.
• Server-side storage. The value you want isn’t on your phone at all.

Why online games usually can’t be hacked

Games that require an account keep your real progress – coins, levels, scores – on their servers. Your device only holds login details and some cache. Since Cheat Droid can’t reach online servers, it can’t change that data, and any local edit is quickly overwritten.

The takeaway: Cheat Droid works best on offline, single-player games. For a game that fits, follow our step-by-step guide to hacking Android games.
