View 2 Replies View Related I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
Can we modify the system while the phone is booted now that we have the unrevoked recovery flash tool? is this what NAND unlock means?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI have installed the [ROM] Lenovo P780 Pre-rooted Official ROMs for Flash Tool with TWRP and now I do not find the "USB Debugging" option in the App option of System Settings. Instead appear a list of the applications installed where I can select any app change options.
This ROM comes configured to Root as default.
I'm trying to use the library RootTools to make root operations on android system. I want to make a backup of some files including in the /etc folder with the next commands:
Code:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
File exists = new File("/etc/gps.conf");
if (exists.exists()) {
[Code] ....
It's supposed that with the RootTools.copyFile I can make that operation, but It doesn't make anything. I see that in cat /proc/mount doesn't appear etc folder. I'm tried too with the Apache transfer file copy, FileUtils.copyFile(source, destination) but it seems that it have problem with the mount system, who seems to be in RO. I try too with RootTools.remount("/etc", "RW") but fails too.
I want to know how I can edit, create, delete, modify files in /etc /data... etc.
I'm testing this on a Samsung Galaxy S3 with an stock rom 4.1.2.
Inverting any axis of input or similar is possible for touch screens on tablet pc? (currently needed for gingerbread 2.3.1)
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter moving from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2, the external sd is not mounted anymore. or at least I see it grey in system/storage. I can access all its content via file manager, but thats it.
Now, I have checked the 4.1.1 system, and there I have 2 fstab files, internal_sd and external_sd, the content (stripped of comments):
external_sd:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard2 storage/sdcard1 fuse
internal_sd:
dev_mount sdcard storage/sdcard0 fuse
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
on 4.2.2, the content of vold.fstab is:
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
Questions:
1. what to add in vold.fstab so that both cards are mounted?
2. what to modify so that the default one is the external one (I somehow assume that is in the build.prop, but not sure)?
How I can access and modify the system preferences (the options you see on system 'Settings' application)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I debug some system process (...acore), for example, the status bar, in Eclipse ? I couldn't find any help online yet. I'm able to debug a normal application, but not system threads (windowManagerSevice etc).Also, when I open the Android source in Eclipse using the official instructions, I get build errors, is it OK ? (already executed "make" successfully)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have accidentally deleted the whole content of /system/bin and /system/app of my android tablet running 4.3
I don't have a back up so looking for the contents of these two directories for android 4.3 so I can push them using ADB
When I use an explorer like ES explorer or Root explorer I can go to system/ and find several files & folders.
However, when going to recovery and using the TWRP File manager or by using ADB Shell the System-folder is empty except for a folder named bin/. No sign of build.prop or any other files/folders.
location of the system file that determines the touch interface? What I mean is some kind of files like build.prop that has the info of touch pressure, touch sensitivity, number of touch points etc. mention the system file that determine the air view feature of note 2 and s4.
mention the system file that interchange info within phone and cellular operator? What I mean with info is something like interchanging data usage report to the operator.
I'm looking to modify wpa_supplicant files located in system/bin.
It's an executable files, is there a way to modify this?
I am a platform developer and want to know how I can debug through the Android System code. I am making changes to the WindowManagerService and see a lot of statements like: (DEBUG_FOCUS) Log.v(TAG, "Clearing focused app, was " + mFocusedApp). My question is, how do I take advantage of these logs? I am using Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10 and I have no idea how to actually debug this code.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was cruising an Incredible manual online and I saw this screen about connecting the Inc to a PC. I'm new to Android but I did have an Eris for a few days to try out. On that phone I would hook it to my laptop, open the notifications bar, and choose "Mount" to be able to drag files back and forth.
In this picture, there is no "Mount" choice. How do you drag files back & forth?
Also, what is USB debugging? Do I need to select that in order to drag files back and forth?
I want to add some function to my system music player app. So I decompiled the classes.dex with dex2jar, copied the source code and add the code for my functions. Now my problem is that I do not know how to recompile the app. I can't compile it with Eclipse because it uses some system namespaces (in Eclipse it is an error so I can't compile) How can I recompile the app? I only have the *.java files.
Or can't I use the java files and have to edit the smali files? Of course that's much harder...
I'm basically trying to rename an audio file to kill the camera click, but found an issue that might give me problems later with other things I might want to do.
Each time I try renaming the file, the file renames itself back to its original name after I reboot the phone. For example, if I add .bak or an extra space in the file name, it disappears once I reboot.
I'm using ES File Explorer on my stock, rooted Sprint HTC One. I mounted the /system path as R/W, and the file is /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.
I have a DOMO Slate N9 SE tablet running on ICS 4.0.3. Everything is working fine but I cannot sign in to YouTube.When I click on YouTube for the first time, it crashes saying 'Unfortunately Android System has stopped' and the next time it gets stuck on 'Signing in'. If I clear data, again it says 'Unfortunately Android System has stopped' and then keeps on getting stuck at signing in.
But when I use applications like Opera Mini and Flipboard and load a video, the YouTube app opens and runs the video. When I click on 'like' to like that video, I get a pop-up screen asking me to log in using my Google account. When I click on it, I get the same error, 'Unfortunately Android System has stopped'.
I think there are system files missing in the device. The ICS ROM did not even have CalendarSyncAdapter.apk and I had to manually install it. So I think even the YouTube error is due to some missing system files.I have tried several other versions of YouTube app too but I get the same error.
I know that I can make a recovery zip to install packages, but I was wondering if I can make a zip that will extract and replace database files on my phone that are not packaged. The reason I want to do this is so that when I flash a new ROM, I can easily restore certain phone settings like altered APN databases.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am searching an application that allows me to backup the .apk files of both user and system applications like AppWererabbit (http:url...). The problem is that i need this app to be compatible with android versions below 4.0, i.e. android 2.3.X.
I have already installed titanium backup on my phone, but i miss the ability to set an automatic .apk backup when each system/user app is updated. I think that to keep .apk files of older versions of the same app could be usefull.
I have installed ADB and the whole Android SDK to root my asus transformer infinity (tf700t). I have taken all the steps every forum on the web describes: installing everything trough the manager, adjusting the path in the System Variables, and finally it getting it to work together with my tablet. However, when I try to flash/copy/install files from my folder (yes these files are in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe, which is the folder I used in the System Variables) It can't either find these files or it cannot open these files. When i put in the command 'path' however. I does give me the path where the files can be found.

Then I tried to root again my Honor C3 with VROOT and it is OK again. But I can't overwrite system files such as changing system DroidSans-fallback.ttf fonts and also installing framework of Xposed (Overwriting app_process). I can't even delete system files also.
I searched for firmware files for my phone and I can't seems to find it. There is root access and I even test it via Terminal Emulator app and from ADB. Calling su binary in Shell was OK but I can't access /system well. H30-U10
