FTP Uploads Folder

I will be moving stuff from the uploads folder to "safe heaven". Since i do not own an Apache i will need your help to know what is and what isnt legit... Just let me know what should stay or go and i will be more than happy to comply!!

What happened to the Apache uploads folder? I no longer see it on the FTP site.

someone out there trashed our uploads folder....everything down to hermes was deleted by someone... we dont know who, but we are all PI$$ED

I have quite a few of the apache if it needs uploaded.. no hermes though : (

If you want to upload any apache stuff that isnt in the regular folder then go for it.. but after you do contact me and i will move them to the regular folder so no one comes in and deletes the stuff.

how do you log in with permissions to upload?

Thanks. I think I uploaded most of the original contents of Apache.

I still don't see an Apache folder.
Am I missing something?

Where?
I'm looking with an FTP client and using a regular web browser.
I can't see anything re:Apache.

If you want I will gladly back up any and all files for you. As I have roughly 4TB of hard drive space here. And I am on a mission to flash mfrazzz WM6 ver 3 rom into a sprint PPC-6700.

I am new to the site and I am attempting to follow this thread... but I dont see the folder for Apache either.
also, how do i get a registry editor to do many of the edits i have seen elsewhere?
also, does anyone else HATE this phone? i am constantly having problems with it! but hopefully some downloads and edits will help...
thanks!!!

How weird, somebody did the same thing to the PPCGeeks FTP site. Had to go anonymous, and remove all delete permissions because of it. Almost wiped out the whole entire thing.

How can I get the HTC Home weather for my city?

I've already done searches for this, but I just haven't found a simple answer for a newbie like me.
What I want is to keep the weather in the tab like it is on the stock HTC home, but I want to be able to choose my city by zip code. I'd also like to be able to get radar images.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Also, it would be really cool if there was an option to have it show weather based on your GPS location.
Thanks!

theres no "newbie" way...you have to get the file from your phone's "Windows" folder (using file explorer), get it on a real computer, and edit the file using notepad...just copy the format already there for your city, save it, and put it back where you found it in the windows folder...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Once again, a person who isnt looking hard enough in the forums...

In all fairness, the search function on this site sucks. I've resorted to using google to search "forum.xda-developers.com" under advanced search.

Hey thanks for the link.
But, what I would REALLY like, that I haven't seen posted yet, is instead of having to input a city is if the weather would just update based on GPS location. Is anyone working on this? Or is there currently an available modification to the HTC home weather for this? I think that would be the cat's ass.
Thanks again!

Why you think a cat's ass is a good thing is beyond me...
I live with four cats and I avoid their asses as much as possible!

[REQ] AT&T Manilla Theme

Believe it or not, I like the theme. Someone want to extract it for me or give me the instructions to extract it? I bet I could find it somewhere in the diamond thread but my computer is being a pain in the @$$ and is dead slow. Would someone be so kind so that I can keep this theme after I flash a faster rom with no bloatware.

Um. Same as in any other ppc? I just think you're a lil over the top today otherwise you would've seen it! LOL! It's Menu>Edit>Paste. Same as where the copy is lol.
EDIT: Maybe I'm over the top. I forgot you said Total commander. I can't install that right now. I remember it was something like Move, Replace, Copy or something. I'll post again when i find it.

host file location

Long time lurker here. I've been following this forum for some time and was wondering if anyone has found and successfully edited the host file so that ads no longer load, thereby saving much bandwidth and getting snappier-loading web pages. It's been done on the Palm Pre and iPhone, and I've tried to find the host file on the Hero, but no luck yet.

I believe there is an app somewhere on the marketplace that does this for you. But either way, Android is a linux system like any other (albeit highly stupified by Google) so the hosts file is /system/etc/hosts.

Ah yes, I did find another thread in the (G1) Dream forum with steps on how to do this. Thanks for the reply.

Ad-less browsing.
All you have to do is put it in the /system/etc/ folder.

I realize that this is a totally nub question but I can't seem to figure it out. How do I copy this host file from my Windows computer to the /system/etc/ folder on the Hero? It'd be awesome to be able to browse the phone's filesystem from Windows but, alas, no such luck.

[Q] How to (re)move demo epub.apk?

EDIT: oops - got the title slightly wrong - it should be "demo epub.epub" not .apk
The MyLibrary app comes with a copy of "Alice in Wonderland".
I like to keep my filesystem organized, so I moved that into a folder with my other ebooks.
However, MyLibrary seems intent upon re-creating the "demo epub.epub" and "demo epub.png" files in /mnt/sdcard/
Does anyone know how I can stop it doing this? It's rather annoying.

i copied it to my desktop, the deleted it from my library and added the file back to where i wanted it...that seemed to work for me...

Yeah, its not only annoying its spooky - where the hell does the file come from?
Do they download it from their cloud? Does that mean they are backing up some of my files to a cloud? (Which I never asked them to do)
I deleted the damn thing over and over, I don't wish to move it - I wish to GET RID OF IT. And nothing works *grrrr*

+1 I found the @#[email protected]# book once, but I was not rooted then so I could not delete it.
Today I was annoyed by our Alice in Wondeland epub reappearing every time again. I cant find the origanal from where it is copied.
So if anyone knows....

What, it doesn't happen on yours?

Yup Dido Does this with mine... Kinda annoying actually.

Everytime we get a new OTA, I hope for the best and try and delete. And like a bad penny it comes back again.
i have found mine under mnt/sdcard In the file manager app i'm using it says it has -rw permissions only so I'm guessing that's why it keeps coming back?
I've tried moving as well, but it also comes back, which is so annoying because this book starts with A! So alwys at the beginning. Also called ASUS about it once. And I had to walk tech support through it as they didn't believe me that it kept coming back.

Glad you tried to get through to ASUS on this one.

The "Alice in Wonderland" epub is build into asusreader.apk.
If rooted open the apk in 7zip or similar go to "assets" folder and delete the "default_book" folder. No longer comes back. Worked on my wife's.

Yeah, not rooted, but if its in the apk then it really is something we should badger asus about - what were they thinking.

Would you mind to direct us to the location of this asusreader.apk? I did a search and could not find it.

I uploaded it here.
