My trial software used to limit use to 100 uses. The number of times
the user had used it was stored in

"/data/anr"

This worked great because this directory is not browseable, but it is
writeable by applications. You could only read/write/delete the file
if you knew the exact name of the file eg:

"/data/anr/banana.txt"

I could store the number of uses in this file and if the user
uninstalled the app and re-installed it the app would still remember
the number of times they used the app.

Problem is, in 1.6 they seem to have changed the permissions of this
file and I cannot write to

"/data/anr/banana.txt"

any more. Short of accessing the network and transmitting the usage
accross the internet to a license server, can anyone think of a way to
replicate this?

Is there another directory with the same miraculous properties?
