How to change file extension using the Touch Pro

Hi all, my first post!
Obviously u can tell by my nickname that i'm a long time symbian user, trying wm for the 1st time in a long long while.
Anyway, i was wondering if there's a way to change the file extension usingi the phone itself. Im trying to change a .zip to .theme but i cant figure out the proper way to do it. I know i can do this easily using a pc but im at work and cant do that stuff here, so im wondering if there's a way to do it using the phone without downloading another application to do it.

Oh, and yes, i did do a search for this already. Couldnt pinpoint exactly what im looking for.
Thanks!

Use resco explorer

i downloaded 2008 Resco Explorer, but cant figure out how to change the file extension...
oh well, i guess this is one not too many are familiar with.

No, it's just too obvious for most people to bother with. Go to the file you want to change, hold the stylus or your finger down on the and a menu will pop up. Scroll down to "rename". Then name it whatever you want.

Not so obvious if you read the entire question.

Renaming the file is not the issue. It's the extension.

I don't use resco, but it's trivial with total commander.

I think what you CAN to do is find the exe and then rename it with numbers at the beginning of the name, and it will sort out alplhanumeric'ly.
I haven't tried, but it is a guess.
I heard someone talked about getting rid of the programs from the list as well.

No, that's not what i'm looking for.. But thanks..
I ment there are folder that are empty and i wan't to delete them..

The folders and program shortcuts are located in windows/start menu (just like the directory structure on a PC). You can get to it either on your device with whatever file explorer you use or from your desktop via explore from the Activesync window. Then move, remove or rename whatever you want.

Tnx, that's much " cleaner " !!

Thats right as stated by emesbe,.
1. Go to your file explorer
2. Windows/Start Menu
3. There you will find your empty folder, etc, you could make a new shortcut there too,.
Best of luck,.

Is there such an app that locks your gallery?

Is there such an app that exists that will allow you to password lock your gallery everytime you want to access it? This includes photos and videos.
ie: a girl im on a date with likes my phone and wants to play around with it, i dont want her going thru my gallery and seeing pics of me and other girls.

there is an app called lokpix or lokpixlite that you can set up to password protect pictures you don't want people to see. It takes them out of your gallery and puts them in it's own gallery inside the app. Then anyone can look at your gallery minus the hidden pics.

Ok fair enough, Photovault is one of the better ones.
it's not free, but its a small price to pay for not getting busted

I use file cover, it also locks videos.

- use Astro File Manager.
- creat a new folder, put stuff you dont want anyone to see in there.
- put a . in front of the folder. ie: .Private
- that folder can't be view in the Gallery, only Astro can.

Nice, thanks.

You can also put a blank file named ".nomedia" (no quotes) in any folder you dont want to show up in gallery/music/etc (but will show up in astro or similar)

i tried to create a folder named .Private , but it seems that Windows doesnt like this. It keeps telling me to type a folder name. Any1 else having problems creating a folder with a "." infront of their filename

Right because that's not a valid folder name in windows. You need to do it on your device (using a file manager program such as astro, or terminal emulator by typing something like mkdir /sdcard/images/.pron/). You could also use ADB from your computer and shell in and use mkdir that way.

You have to create a file inside the folder you wanna hide named .Private (or .nomedia).

I'm using a .nomedia file inside my 'files' folder. My wife doesn't see the need for porn on my phone, but what does she know?
Besides, I don't need my 3 year old finding such things. That would be awkward to explain...

Cracked Tap Tap revenge 4 song!!!

Successfully cracked the file Bruno Mars - Somewhere In Brooklyn
Note to users: I am not responsible if you wreck your device. If you do this properly, chances of breaking your device is ZERO!
Credits to: motsach89(he shared his tap tap song)
I have cracked this file to run on any android phone.
Tools needed :
1)Root access on phone
2)Root explorer or (any root level access file explorer)
Download this file: http://www.google.com
Then unzip the file into any location
Copy folder brunomars.ttrTheme into [sdcard/android/data/com.tapulous..../files/Themes]
Copy folder inside tracks into [sdcard/android/data/com.tapulous..../files/Tracks]
Lastly, using root explorer, copy the folder in [data/data/com.tapulous..../files/tracks]
This data/data/com.tapulous folder can only be found if you press the "..." in root explorer all the way untill it disappears.( Also known as the parent folder)
Open tap tap and play the song!
Thks to the person who bought and supplied the song. But without cracking, we cannot use it straightaway...
For generous people, please share your songs for others to use. Send me the data file, theme and track so that i can crack it and upload.

Status:
Done:
Song: Somewhere in Brooklyn by Bruno Mars
In Progress:
Song: Pon de Replay by Rihanna
Currently mising theme files
Song: Nobody by Wonder Girls
Missing xml and info.plist
More to come....

Reserve for later

hello did any1 try it yet? ppl seem to miss this thread...

downloading try asap. XD

cant we use the version of TTR on iphone? they say that we just need to convert a file to xml. (>.<)

nope i think it is unconvertible, the format for the code is different. If you see, iphone has a info.plist but we have xml file, and our info.plist is inside the data/data... at root.
By the way both plist and xml can be renamed in to txt files and edited. I opened the android and the ios ver, i noticed a huge difference in the code. The IOS has a long continuous key while android has many sub keys.

well.. the TTR on android is different from iphone version. the tapping doesnt affect song.
oh yeah. the result.. its working! thanks a lot. hope too see more lists of songs.

actually it is the xml file that contains the taps.
And I would need people to share their songs with me
Enjoy.

Is there any other way without using root?

no warez.

[VZW][AUDIO/MOD] Power On/Off Sound Files

Sooooooo if you own the VZW G2...I KNOW YOU HATE THE POWER ON/OFF SOUNDS JUST AS MUCH AS I DO
Sooooooo I made a couple for my personal use but id thought id spread the wealth lol.
The PowerOn sound byte is the original PS1 system start up
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mu627jjddxo7bz8/PowerOn.ogg
The PowerOff sound byte is from Streets of Rage 2 Round Clear
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dx9iak6d016ctsc/PowerOff.ogg
Instructions
I use Root Explorer but any file browsing app should work for you and follow this path
system/media/audio/ui
Look for PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg
Rename name them to PowerOn.bak and PowerOff.bak
(To have and to hold till death do you part....orrrrr you just so happen to need them later on and rename them back to the original...you choice)
Take you newly downloaded files and Copy/Paste them into the folder and PROFIT!!!!!!!!
It works immediately so feel free to restart the phone and enjoy
THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON THE VZW VARIANT
FEEL FREE TO TEST ON A DIFFERENT VARIANT IF YOU WANT BUT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU NUKING YOUR PHONE​

Thanks. Worked for me.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4

Finally worked, had to copy + rename and copy again (so I have .bak and .ogg files there)
PS1 sound brings back memories

So in theory if we just rename those files we wont have any sound... right?

Have any other sound files?

Ill try to add more to the OP. Ive been extra busy as of late so ill get to it when I can

Bump so I took OP's idea and expanded it to lock/unlock (the files are in the same location
system/media/audio/ui
Method involves Zedge to get MP3s (c/p to PC) then use VLC to convert to OGG files (c/p to the path above)
Best way to get audio track is to use Zedge, get whatever notification you want (get short one for unlock) then copy file(s) to PC and
open VLC ---> Media ---> Convert/Save ---> Add... (this should open popup) ---> Convert/Save (bottom right next to cancel); this opens new popup ---> under profile select 'Audio - Vorbis (OGG)' then select destination ----> ***MUST IMPORTANT PART*** Change the name to particle_lock or particle_unlock (if you use a different unlock animation then use that name respectively) ---> hit start then c/p to path above on your phone
I recommend changing the original sound files to file extension .bak (like OP recommended) so you can return to normal if something goes wrong etc. Oyeah, the lock sound lasts longer while the unlock is quite short so keep that in mind.
Sorry if I complicated simple thing but hope this helps someone, also all credit to Zei (OP) since this is just an extension of his wonderful MOD.
