I was using Astro and i found the folder on the Hero that has all the boot images, sounds, and animations. i was trying to create my own custom animations and put them in there to replace the others. Well when i try to copy the files into the folder it says i have insufficient permission so i was wondering if anyone knew of a way around that without rooting or something like that!

After a hard reset on my first Hero, the factory/system wallpaper files disappeared. Thereafter, I was unable to set the background for the lock screen to anything but the default. When I go to set lock screen background, the device reports "no media found".
Now that I have another Hero, I would like to backup those 22 factory background/wallpaper files.
1) Is that possible? If so, how? Does it require me to root the device so I can actually "copy out" the files?
2) Does there exist a backup software that can do a full system file backup? If so, please recommend one.
3) I have seen several file manager-like applications. Do any of these applications browse system files and allow one to copy them? (Is rooting reqired)?
4) Does anyone have copies of the system/default wallpapers? If so, will you please zip them up and post it here?
5) WHY did the pictures disappear after a hard reset? If they are part of the ROM, why did they not return after a reset?
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.

Im asking b/c I have a few game apps that have some of the files (i assume, they are jpg, or png files) dont fit my screen right, they are too big & are partly cut off, so i want to resize them & put them back on my phone.
I can't seem to be able to re-name files in my /system folder. I am tring to do this in Root Manager and it is telling me that the permissions are set to read only... however if I try to set the permissions in Root Manager it tells me I can't do that...

how to extract an .obb file so that one can edit the contents. In my other thread [URL] where I was trying to figure out a way to activate the Japanese vocal track in Final Fantasy IV with the game's locale in the US/English. I've hit an impasse as I've been able to deduce that the Google play version of the game (which seems to have a 15mb .apk, and a 400+mb .obb ) retains the Japanese audio track but only plays it in conjunction with JP text if the Android locale/language is Japanese. Thus, I figure that somewhere in that .obb there will be the JP audio track file which I can copy over the English audio track file and thereby access Japanese audio w/ English text since SquareEnix didn't give us the option for some god-awful reason.
However, the only way this can work is if I can get into that .obb file! I saw links elsewhere on the forum suggesting that all I had to do was rename the .obb to a .zip or .rar, and then use 7zip or WinRAR to open it, but attempts with both programs and numerous file types (.zip, .rar , .tar etc..) all report that the file is not an archive and thus cannot be opened. This is different from the .apk file, which easily seems to (upon rename to zip) unveil its secrets with 7zip extraction. So, does an program or method necessary to unpack/extract/read/edit an .obb file besides the simple archive rename? Is there some Android development program or function?

Someone recommended "BetterCut" which I downloaded...it lets me change the icons for other shortcuts (which is great) but not for folders. I don't even mind navigating to this on the actual android device and replacing the original files with new ones - just someone please tell me how?

View 15 Replies View RelatedThis has been one of only a couple of bugbears I'm experiencing with my Hero. While Exchange syncs perfectly for mail, contacts and calendars, it fails to display Outlook folders in the proper way. Does anyone else experience this?
I have something like 20 folders, most of which have subfolders, and then some of those have more subfolders. In Outlook, it's perfect (naturally). On the Hero, it seems to display them almost randomly - certainly not in the hierarchy they should be, or even alphabetically. With 100+ folders (some with the same name), this is a pain when on the move and relying on the phone to give me access to stuff.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
I've tried the 5 day trial of one of the Exchange apps (can't remember the name) but found it clunky and removed double-quick. Don't like RoadSync either. Plus, I don't see why I should pay for an app when the default one should do the job properly.
Also, on the subject of Exchange, is there any way to get tasks to sync? I'm having to use Gmail to "copy" tasks from Outlook (PITA), and don't really want to add a third party app to manage just those.
I guess it's a case of waiting a few months for some kind of update ... or is that me being a little too optimistic?
Is this the update the froyo? Because I just updated to 2.1 couple weeks ago what is this?

Does anyone know of a SIP application that integrates with a VoIP phone system?
I downloaded SIPdroid, but you have to use VoIP service through PBXes.org.
I have a VoIP phone system (ShoreTel) in which I can set up SIP extensions. Assuming I have an app on my phone (iPhone has this app), I can walk into my office, have the local wireless network connect to my phone via Wi-Fi, and automatically assign my desk extension to my phone. Therefore whoever calls my DID or my desk extension, it will ring directly to my Hero.
I am working on an android app. Where i need to parse some plist files from assets folder. I do understand how to use assets in android but now problem is that file sizes are more than 1MB and so android gives error Data Exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX (2183588 vs 1048576). how to access such larger files from assets? Also I cant reduce a file into small buffers because i am just sending it to "DocumentBuilder.parse(in)" as a whole so can not use buffer. The error is on line: Document doc = db.parse(in).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI uploaded about 50 pictures from iPhoto (using a Mac) just to see what they looked like and then later formatted the Droid's SD card, so the pictures were no longer there.
Now, if I mount the Droid via USB and view the file structure there is a folder named /albumthumbs which contains 50 files, presumably for the 50 pictures a had on the SD card.
To me, these file, unless linking to actual photos stored on the SD card, take up extra space in the phone's memory (not worried about the SD card). I wonder if I can safely delete them (just the files...not the folder)?
For some reason my Hero won't perform any System Updates. When I click on any of the top 3 update options (Firmware, Profile, or PRL) the option turns green while my finger is on it but doesn't respond. This happened in the weeks before the 2.1 update also, but I just stuck it out, and after the 2.1 update it worked again - until recently. Now no updates can be requested. No root. Any ideas?
