How can I change the "Model No.:" - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi all! With my UNI I would like to use an application (Good Link, Good Messaging). As I try to connect to the server the client application push some information from my device to the server. One of this infos are the Settings / Device Information / Identity / Model No.:, which is currently "PU10"
May I change this info? If Yes, how can I chage it forexample to the following string: "I600xxgd1"

Unlikely - I'm pretty sure its written into the actual device, if not then the ROM
If you do find a way, please post it (it'll be interesting to see...)
Alternatively, install the program on the correct device, then grab all of the files and registry keys (or get the files\registry keys off someone who does have that device)

need EVERYONE's help! give me a few minutes of your time

I am really busy trying to figure out what CAB is what for to be able to complete my extended rom indexing project, but there are some files I am just not sure about enoough to be able to categorise them
so if you all could look at the files and let me know if you know what it is, that would be great, it would benefit us all. It uses to much of my time as it is, so I could use the help

thx
had a look at the BA section
Default_BA_Version_122.CAB
All files that are Version_XXX are only there to change the reg entgry for the version number and set them to a value.
as in:
BA_Version_122.CAB = Set Extended Rom version number to 1.22.126
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3rdversion] "MSYSTEM"="1.22.162 WWE"
To find out what a cab does you need to extract it using a appl like cab manager which can be found on:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Tools
You need to be aware of the fact that cabs nothing more than a application installer, some are retail and some are given to us be our operators.
I feel you should not try to index retail versions as these change and soon become out of date.
My best guess:
Default_Enroller_enhance_1.CAB = this is or could be a operator cab that will set up the e-mail settings for that operator.
BA_OEM_PA_STK.sa.CAB = Patch for the stk.exe file, seen this is the BA kitchen.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Patches_122
VoiceServices_PPC.ARMV4.CAB = looks like a retail package
YetiCompactClient1.0.0.9.cab = yeti application seen in one of the 1.3x versions, something to due about trafic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=120966#120966
BA_Panel_Detect.exe = think this is appl that checks the status of input of the screen when executed in config.txt
BTPSKeyUpdate_003.exe : BlueTooth Pairing Security update
xmailInstaller2003.PPC_ARM_2003.CAB : "real-time access to your work emails, calendar and contacts on your xda, O2 mobile or PC"
see : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Himalaya Rom 1.72 comparison
For the others I can make only guesses :
Cproghook : that is Mamaichs extra contact button on the phone ?
O2* : Customisation and MMS/GPRS settings ?

Location of system passwords?

Simple question, I think. Would somebody tell me where WM 5/6 stores the system passwords: ActiveSync, the power-on-password, etc.? (Assuming they're all in the same place.) I was trying to research this and found the details on the Local Authentication Sub System upgrade in WM5, but I'm not so much looking for code, but for file name(s) or registry keys.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi,
try following Reg-Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds
I'm pretty sure MYPhone stores it there.
Otherwise you could try this:
- delete ActiveSync Pratnership and (optionally) configured Server (Exchange)
- Softreset your device
- do a full Registry-Export and save as 1.reg
- create ActiveSync Partnership and (optionally) configured Server (Exchange)
- do another full Registry-Export and save as 2.reg
- trasfer 1.reg and 2.reg to your Computer
- compare both Files with "WinDiff"
I hope this helps a bit

HI
When I enter the details for a connection and then try to "connect" a popup saying "Please wait..... Connecting..." is displayed forever. I´m quite sure that the connect information is correct because I receive an error message otherwise. Problems are:
1. I cannot connect to my mySQL server.
2. I cannot cancel the connect or even the app. I have to got to the apps overview and "kill" the app.
I´m using a Motorola Xoom (Wifi only, MZ604) with Android 3.2 and the mySQL server is on a virtual server (vServer) located at some remote site.
Would be great if that could be fixed some day...
Greetings from Germany.

hello,
the connection dialog has a timeout 30 seconds, so if you wait 30 seconds it will stop trying to connect,
but i think i have to make that dialog "cancelable" so you can hit back and cancel connection (good to keep that option to.).
on the other hand .. make sure you have enabled remote connect to your mysql server, and add/allow the IP you are trying to connect from, so the mysql server allow it.
thank you.
Ok, but...

Thanx for the quick response. Here are my answers to your points:
1. I have been waiting VERY much longer than 30 seconds (several minutes), but the connection dialog never stopped.
2. I have allowed connections to my mySQL server from ALL hosts (%), so there is no need to allow access on an IP address basis. The IP address is unknown anyway when I´m using a mobile device, or is it? Anyway, it would be impracticable to add the dynamically provided IP address to the mySQL server configuration every time - especially when you have no access to the mySQL server since the client cannot connect...
(I have tried another mySQL client for Android, but this thing crashes everytime it tries to connect to the mySQL server...)
Tell me if I can be of any help in the investigation of this connection problem. I´d really like to use your app to manage my server with my tablet.
Regards
Emmi

yes using % will allow all,
but its not secure.. anyway in a case of dynamic IP it can be used.
-side note- you can find your current real IP if you visit http://www.whatismyip.com/
from your mobile browser.
*** regarding the application:
- are you capable to login using a desktop client, like Navicat or MysqlTools?
- if you can get a logcat from your device while trying to connect that would be great, i think it will be useful,
-one more thing is if u can try it from a mobile not a tablet, since supporting tablets was added recently and i could not test it ( no tablets around ).
** one last thing:
if all that did not work, you may create a user with very simple privileges,
and pass me (private message) the login info (ip, username, password), and i will try to connect with the app using my hTC Desire.
Thanks & best regards.
I can login and access the server using Navicat.
Do you know an app to get a logcat?
Unfortunately I have no Android phone available.
I´ll send you login info via pm.
I´ve found the follwoing errors in logcat (using catlog ;-)):

i've tried and i confirm the application waas not able to connect to ur server.
also i found that error log, when i try to connect only to ur server..
i think its related to host name converted to an IP address reference ...
it looks to be a bug in the driver i am using (i've googled it)
i am working on a fix or workaround for now ...
thanks again.
how is it done...
hi stinger1..
i recently starting using your pheonix my sql client ...
my question is how does your app connect to the mysql server...
is there a middleware web service that connects to the database or
does the app directly connect to the database...if yes..how ?...
i mean using what....
how did you use the jdbc drivers...

RemoteTracker for Android -Antitheft software

Hi there,
This software is an Antitheft and you can use it to track your device when it was lost or stolen. It works catching a formated SMS/EMail sent from any phone/computer and then receiving useful informations back.
You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eye in your child. Use your imagination!
You can set up to four emergengy contacts to receive SMS if the thief change your SIM card and you still can track your device.
The RemoteTracker for Android is an evolution from an old project for Windows Mobile 6 (If you want to see the entire history, please click here).
I'm justing starting this project. There are much more to come.
To send a command to RemoteTracker, send a SMS with the syntax: RT#(command)#(phone or e-mail)#(password). Example: RT#EGP#[email protected]#1234. This version answer the commands below:
help - send to you a list of commands available in Android platform;
ehelp - same as 'HELP', but send the list by e-mail;
fhelp - same as 'HELP', but send the list to your FTP server;
gp - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to cel number passed as parameter;
egp - same as 'GP', but send the list by e-mail;
fgp - same as 'GP', but send a file to your FTP server;
gi - Send informations about your phone: IMSI, IMEI and ICCID;
egi - Same as 'GI' but the answer goes by e-mail;
fgi - Same as 'GI' but the answer goes to your FTP server;
cb - your phone will make a Call Back to you. Just make a call and let the microphone open;
cellid - Retrieve informations (CELLID, LAC, MNC and MCC codes) about the tower your phone are connected. Send to you by SMS;
ecellid - same as 'CELLID', but the answer goes by e-mail;
fcellid - same as 'CELLID', but the answer goes to your FTP server;
secret - if you forget your password you can use this command to receive by SMS your personal secret question;
lostpass - used to receive your password if you forgot it. You must send the answer for your secret question, so, you can use the secret command to help you;
Commands available only in PRO version:
PICSON - Makes RemoteTracker (only PRO version) watch for new photos and send them to Default EMail Address;
PICSOFF - Makes RemoteTracker (only PRO version) stop to watch for new photos;
EPICSON - Same as PICSON, but send an E-Mail back;
EPICSOFF - Same as PICSOFF, but send an E-Mail back;
FPICSON - Same as PICSON, but send the answer to FTP server;
FPICSOFF - Same as PICSOFF, but send the answer to FTP server;
PCALLSON - Makes RemoteTracker (only PRO version) takes a photo on a call is receive or made and send it to Default EMail Address;
PCALLSOFF - Makes RemoteTracker (only PRO version) stop to take photos on calls;
EPCALLSON - Same as PCALLSON, but send an E-Mail back;
EPCALLSOFF - Same as PCALLSOFF, but send an E-Mail back;
FPCALLSON - Same as PCALLSON, but send the answer to FTP server;
FPCALLSOFF - Same as PCALLSOFF, but send the answer to FTP server;
WIPEDATA - This command will return your device to factory default and format your SD Card.
There are another features inside RemoteTracker, like:
- SIM CARD change observer;
- Automatically restore your preferences if you reinstall it. This feature is particular useful if you have a custom ROM with RemoteTracker inside. Once configured, everytime your devices boots up, your preferences will be restored;
- Works as Device Admin, so it can't be uninstalled if you don't know the password;
- And more...
This project can be multi-language. In this version there is only English (sorry about it, my english is very bad because this is not my mother language). If you want to make your own translate, I can tell how. Very simple.
If you decide to try RemoteTracker, I would like to read reviews, comments and suggestions. Remember this is a beta version and may contain bugs. Use at your own risk and with caution.
--> It is a work in progress. In future versions I will make a lot more.

Hello friends!
To test RemoteTracker please download it from here:
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk
Before your tests, please turn on the Debug option. It will make RemoteTracker write the remotetracker.txt file in the root of your memory card.
All the best,
Joubert
I just released the second beta!!!
Now, RemoteTracker can automatically turn on the Mobile and WiFi network to try get location and send EMails!
For older phones RemoteTracker also will automatically turn on the GPS! Unfortunately this is impossible if you are using new Android versions (2.3.x or so).
A few minor bugs was fixed.
All the best,
Joubert

GPS can be enabled in 2.3+ - but only if device is rooted. That's what it says in the Cerberus entry in "AppStore" [edit: AndroidMarket].
Hi!
Yes, if you have a rooted device is very easy to enable GPS remotely. But I do not recommend in any way for users to root the phones for security reasons.
I think you are talking about Market, not AppStore We are talking about Android not Apple
All the best,
Joubert
New beta 0.3!!!
Hello again,
I just released version 0.3. Now we got FTP answers back!
In Configurations I added a session to input your FTP server details. The example commands GI and GP now works with FGI and FGP as well.
Once again minor bugs was fixed. If you want to try please download the APK here: http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk
As soon as possible I'll make a TODO list and a Road Map.
All the best,
Joubert
Copying my post form the old thread so I can subscribe to this one:
Wow, nice to see this make it to Android.
Some suggestions,
1: Name it something that isn't obvious in the market. Don't want a thief easily finding it in the installed apps list. Going to the market and then buying "my apps" shows you exactly what's installed. So you should name it something totally different that nobody would suspect or want to remove. Like "memory maximizer" or something like that. Probably want to keep it in the middle of the alphabet so it's not at the top or bottom of the list.
2: Maybe make a way to remotely monitor the front/rear camera. Then you could get the thief on video (and also see if it's a crowd, or some huge guy you don't want to mess with, lol).
I'll try to help test when I get another phone and more time. Right now I don't have a lot of time to work out bugs. And more importantly I only have the 1 phone, and I can't afford to have it malfunctioning (I need it for work). I'll buy a used extra phone for testing and then I'll help test.
Thank's!
Be sure I'm worry about the Name I'll post on Market. Not now. I'm trying to make it working and I'll see what I can do later.
About cameras, yes, I think we can control them. At least take pictures and send to an e-mail account. To remotely monitor the cameras, may be I need a server to receive/transmit stream. Of course this is in my todo list

Joubert

I would rather set up my own server (or even directly stream peer to peer from the device). That way you don't get stuck with hosting fees and the app doesn't die if you decide to stop supporting it someday (not that you would).
There are many possibilities. I'll try all of them.
All the best

Another beta
Hi all,
I release another beta. Once again, if you decide to try it, please download from http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk.
I edited the first post to add new features. And I have a notice...
I created a free and pro versions. The free version will have the most common commands we had in Windows Mobile. Only specific commands for Windows Mobile I can't write for Android. Pro version will have new features to come (I don't know yet).
But I don't want to charge my friends, so, if you are a beta tester or help me with anything, I'll give the PRO version for free. But it's for future now I'm engaged to finish RemoteTracker free as best as I can do.
All the best,
Joubert
Possible Bugs
Hi Joubert,
Thank you for have been developing so useful application. I believe everyone here is excited about what you are doing.
I tried your better version and here what I have to say:
1) You stated that the command format is RT#EGP#[email protected]#1234, but what if I want to use command to upload that info to FTP? Then,theoretically, I don't need to indicate my email or phone in the command. At the same time commands like "RT#FGP#1234{this is a password}", "RT#FGP##1234{this is a password}" are not recognized as valid RT commands or even failed with fatal exception. How can I upload this info to FTP, what should be the format of the command in this case?Indicating an email inside the command or phone number when sending to FTP seems a kind of redundancy.
2) Once an Fatal error appeared, it started appearing for each further VALID command which were working before. Error states the following:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on non-object in /celerra/webstor/root.dev/usr/sms core.php on line 234, most likely there it has some null reference there.
3) In the log file I see that its trying to send messages to invalid address substituting "@" at "?". Does it mean it sends to correct address but it writes to the logs incorrectly or is it really a bug? Because I don't receive any emails at all.For example, when sending RT#EGI#[email protected]#De41Be02AF in the logs I see that it mentioned it sent the message to "test?test.ru" instead of "[email protected]"
This is it for now. I can try to help you out with programming. I have no experience in Android development but have been developing in C# for 7+ years.
Again thanks for you effort.

You should use: rt#fgp##1234 The double # are still necessary. I'm working on a simpler syntax to be used in final version.
I'm worried about fatal errors. That's why I released beta versions. Please use Configurations Menu and check the Debug Options. After that you will see in the root of your memory card a file named remotetracker.txt. Send that file to me please.

Are you sending the command using another phone, the same phone or using some WEB service (like your carrier website)? There is no code to change '@' to '?'.

Notices
I almost finished writing the commands that existed in RemoteTracker for Windows Mobile (at least the ones Android can execute).
But I'm still trying to make the security of RemoteTracker to be more robust. I had Features in Windows I can't write for Android yet:
- Prompt for password when uninstalling;
- Lock / Unlock the unit with the LOCK / UNLOCK commands;
I'm not able to use the camera without the need to provide a preview to the user. According to the source code of Android that is impossible, but I saw some programs doing that, so there is a way to do that and I'm looking for this information.
If anyone knows how please help me
All the best,
Joubert

Hide Remote Tracker Application
Hi Joubertvasc:
Are you planing to make a feature to hide the Remote Tracker from the drawer and from any place of the phone. Like with the Theft Aware; you can access the application by dialing from the Phone Dialer. You enter your four code number then hit call. This will open the apllication without calling the number.
Regards;
Willie
Sounds good. I will take a look about how to do that.
Thank you.
Hi!
After a long time I'm back with a new version. This one has lots of bug fixes:
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk
My problem now is Android 3.1 and later, because they don't intercept messages all the time. They need human access the configuration module once to work. Security issue Google said... I'm trying to find an exit.
Best regards,
Joubert
G'day mate.
Long time no see. Great work on this app so far.
I've finally gotten around to installing it and play around with it a little.
I'm testing this on HTC One X with Revolution HD ROM
Here are a few ideas and tips for you to incorporate into your next version.
1. Include an option that allows users to set how many replies to get back from your software.
For Example. If I were to use #RT#GPS#1234, it currently only sends 1 reply. The problem with this is that most GPS units are accurate withing 5 - 10 meters. I tested it on myself where I am and it picks me up as being 2 houses down. If there was an option to send me 3 replies, in 60 second intervals, at least I would get the average GPS location of the phone. If your phone is stolen, it would also be a good idea to have unlimited SMS replies with 60 second intervals so I can get real time minute by minute location on where my phone is. Maybe this might be an idea for your Pro version. Have the option for how many replies to get and also an option for interval time between each reply.
2. Another idea for Pro version. Hide the RemoteTracker Icon from the Apps menu, or disguise it as a useless setting so if a thief were to look in the Apps menu, they wouldn't see it straight away, so wouldn't be forced to reset the ROM. Most thieves aren't smart enough to reset the phone as soon as they steal it, They normally wait till they get home..... but if he saw a tracking program, it would make them either turn the phone off right away, or reset the ROM right away.
3. I dont know much about Android programming, but an idea for capturing the Camera is to embed the photo into an MMS, or as an attachment in an email. Trying to muck around with FTP would be a waste of time because the average user wont have an FTP server, and you dont want to set up a central one because it would give every noob hacker a target to try and get into.
I will keep playing around and get back to you with any other problems or ideas for you.
Keep up the great work.
Loved the software on WinMo and looks like the Android version will be just as great.

[Q] Any way to show or download FREE hidden provider apps in Marketplace ?

I want to download a FREE application (Orange Cineday & Orange et Moi) in section "Orange" ... but i can't show it !
Have you a soluce to do please ... or just give me a soluce to have the GUID of these apps ?
Thankx,
Poloche,
If your phone is for some reason not showing the carrier marketplace, it may be possible to get it to appear using a XAP similar to the OEM Marketplaces XPs (see my signature). It'll require a little investigation, and the file that specifies MO marketplaces is a slightly than the one for OEM marketplaces, but it's not that complex.
If you'll read through the thread, you'll find enough info to get started yourself.
@GoodDayToDie Can you make XAP for different carriers (similar to the OEM XAP you made so far)? I have 2 Samsung Focus on Tmobile network but couldn't see the carrier marketplace. Thanks!
Also, now that an Omnia W ROM is available, can you look into why Call Blocking is not working on 1st gen Samsung devices? The newest Call Blocking app version is 1.8 from Marketplace.
@nepi: The MO marketplaces typically don't have their own section, but "ought" to load automatically on the phone. If you're on TMO-US, even if the phone wasn't originally TMO-branded, do a search in the Marketplace for "Family Room" or "T-Mobile TV". If they don't show up, then you can't access the TMO-US marketplace. I guess I can make a XAP for that one easily enough (it's my carrier, so I just pull the the relevant file off my phone, package it into a XAP, and post it). Honestly though, the only TMO-US app that I've found worth having at all is My Account, and that rarely (and it wouldn't be useful to anybody not on TMO).
Call Blocking (and the other gen2-specific Samsung apps) can't be used on gen1 phones pretty much by design. Samsung changed the drivers in their firmware that apps (both official and homebrew) with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES use to do things outside their sandbox (call blocking is definitley not allowed from within the sandbox!). Some (but not all) of the gen1 apps are compatible with a backward-compatiblity interface in the gen2 firmware, but the gen2 apps are never going to be compatible with gen1 until/unless those new drivers are back-ported. That's not something we can do (at least, not until the Samsung bootloader is unlocked) ourselves, because the drivers are baked into the ROM, and nobody has yet figured out how to make a driver that's not in the ROM work.
I have a few theories, but it'll be some time before I can do anything with them. They're related to my current project, which is executing native homebrew EXEs on WP7 (specifically, I'm currently looking at modifying the Policy system to allow this). It may be that the Policy system is also behind the driver issue, but until I manage to modify the policies, that's a moot point.

I want to download "Orange Cineday" specific ORANGE Marketplace... Can you please give me the GUID ?
@GoodDayToDie
Please, explain me the registry key to show the "Orange Section" in my phone ? ... I have an interOP-Unlock Omia 7
Please read the OEM Marketplace XAPs thread (linked in my sig). The file that needs to be replaced is different from the one those XAPs replace (OEM market, you need the MO market) but it's stored in the same location and the structure of the file is similar.
I don't know what the identifier for ORANGE is, although "ORANGE" would be a decent thing to try! This is a pretty basic hack, requiring mostly just some time to experiment; give it a shot yourself. I prefer to use 7-Zip for modifying the XAP files, as it handles the path traversal nicely.
@GoodDayToDie: I'm in Seatte, too. The first day when I carrier unlocked my Focus and put in T-mobile SIM I saw the T-mobile My Account app on the Marketplace. However, after I reset the phone it's no longer there and I can't find it again. Can you post the appID for My Account app here? I want that app to check account status, etc.
Also, here is the app ID for Call Blocking version 1.8 from marketplace. I can't post direct link because of my poor post count. I just post this incase anyone wants to download it but can't find it in the marketplace. (I can see the app when the link is opened in my Focus but no option to install it "Not compatible with your phone..etc...")
Call Blocking version 1.8: appID=e23ef9a7-e785-4fc6-ab6c-500034b5226d
