F.A.Q
Q: Which versions of .NET Framework do i have?"
A: Navigate with the Windows explorer to "%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework". There you can see some folders with the version of .NET Framework as their names.
Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "Application failed to initialize (0x0000135)"
A: Your .NET Framework version is too old. Download version 3.5 here.
Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application"
A: That means that you have installed .NET Framework 4.0. But 4.0 hasn't include 3.5. Download version 3.5 here.

Will be checking this out! Looks cool.

Looks like a really handy little tool! Nice job.
IMO you could make the window a lot smaller.

Maybe I will make the window smaller in the next version. But maybe there will be new features which need that space

Be aware that certain kernels have exposed an issue with HTC Sync Windows driver and caused reboots upon plugging in via USB.
On the kernel end most devs have resolved it - but there may be some people out there that haven't encountered it yet or updated their kernel.
No need to panic - it's a known issue.
In case it happens to anyone in your thread.

Nice but scary to use! I think I'll wait for others to use and report back.

What are the options in the tool you are afraid of?
I think you can't break (or brick) your device with this tool. If you flash a wrong radio rom, the device should have a backup from the right one.

Version 1.2 is up! Have fun

The version 1.2.1, which fixes a huge bug in v1.2, is up now!

ill have to check this out!

Hey guys
The version 1.3 is up now. With multi language!
So it would be great if you guys could translate it to your language!

I uploaded version 1.3.1 which fixes a bug where "Fix permissions" wasn't working.

Okay...
I think a beta version with featurse to flash custom roms, nandroid, and wipe should be ready tomorrow. So I need a few beta testers, before I release the version officially!
If anyone is interested in testing the new features, please contact me!
regards

Very cool tool. (Or actually, compilation of tools.) Looking forward to how it gets developed. Good work.

It would be awesome if the flashing rom feature becomes available soon! Still waiting for the beta to become official!

I could really need a few testers more, that I don't publish a tool which doesn't work..
Please contact me if you want to help! (you will be mentioned in the OP )

could u make this to work on mac??

whats is the idea behind this tool. I see it talks about copy files to and from and some adb etc. Is it like android wonder machine I mean as in transferring .apks files also

[ROM/MOD][pdroid/privacy/more] CM 7.2 Tinfoil Hat Edition

This is more or less an addon to the official CyanongenMod 7.2-release or RC2 ( found here) that adds a number of enhancements written by others or myself. As the name implies, it's geared toward privacy and user control.
**************
*** Features ***
PDroid 1.32 These framework patches allow you to configure privacy settings on a per-app basis after the app is installed. Unlike CM7's feature, one can assign random or custom spoofed values (so the app doesn't crash) for location, meid, serial numbers and phone numbers.
AdBlockPlus filtering in webcore For browsing, this is more powerful than the traditional /etc/hosts blacklisting, as it allows one to filter specific urls with pattern matching. Filters for just javascript or third party urls are possible (ex: ||twitter.com^$third-party or *counter*$script ). This uses the same filter sources as AdBlockPlus for Firefox; the syntax is fully compatible except for $doman=host.com flags)
Custom url in QuickSearchBox Use a GET compatible search engine whenever you type from home. Replace google with something more versatile like w.yubnub.org:80/p****r/p****?command=%s. Warning, google apps install clobbers this, see below.
app firewall script Unlike droidwall, this runs from init.d -before- any android app can load. However, this is a pure bash script with no gui (yet). Thankfully, it runs on an Epic, where one can feasibly type 'fw allow org.connectbot', especially with bash_completion and corrected key layout (see below). It can also pull allowed apps from droidwall's config
Tweaked key layout The '' and 'SYM' keys are mapped to DPAD_CENTER and RIGHT_SHIFT, instead of @ and =. DPAD_CENTER clicks highlighted links in browsers (allowing full keyboard navigation), and is a CTRL modifier in ConnectBot and Terminal. RIGHT_SHIFT can be set to TAB in ConnectBot, and the included Terminal mod.
Tweaked Terminal SYM(right_shift) sends TAB.
Redone bashrc with bash_completion 'pkill com.rov<TAB>' instead of typing 'pkill com.rovio.angrybirdsspace.premium', 'getprop ro.sf<TAB>' for ro.sf.lcd_density', or 'firewall de<TAB> com.sw<TAB>' for 'firewall deny com.swype.android.inputmethod'
fixed /system/bin/iptables The one in CM7 is broken.
*****************
*** How to install ***
Already installed CM 7.2 tested with RC2 and release
1: BACKUP! (Warning, this WILL overwrite themed frameworks)
2: Flash tinfoilhat-4-cm7.2epicmtd.zip
3: Reboot. Wait a long time as dalvik-cache updates.
Clean install from another rom
1: ""
2: Flash the original cm-7.2.0-epicmtd.zip or the older epic-CM7.2-RC2.zip, then flash tinfoilhat-3-cm7.2epicmtd.zip
-OR-
obsolete Flash the pre-patched CM 7.2 RC2 update: epic-CM7.2-RC2-tinfoilhat-3.zip
3: Install official gapps, or gapps-vend-uns-gb-20110828-signed.zip which will not override QuickSearchBox, and includes a Play Store modified for LCD density friendliness.
3: Reboot
Removal
Flash reverse-tinfoilhat-3.zip This is only recommended if you came from epic-CM7.2-RC2.
***********
*** FAQ ***
How do I use the firewall? In terminal, type
# fw --help
Code:
Usage: fw (start|stop|status)
start, stop reinitialize firewall
or: fw (enable|disable)
enable enable firewall at bootup
disable disable firewall at bootup
or: fw (allow|noallow|deny|nodeny) [apps]
allow com.package add app to allow list
a ...
noallow com.package remove from allow list
na, a- ...
deny com.package add app to blacklist
d ...
nodeny com.package remove from blacklist
nd, d- ...
UIDs over $allowmax can only access the network if they are in the allow list,
UNLESS they are in the deny list.
Low UIDs will always have network access unless they are in the deny list.
Where is the adblock filter? / How do I update it? It's located in /data/adblock.txt and should have global read-only permissions. The upadblock command will update to the newest easyprivacy ruleset. All custom rules should be below the '!-- Custom stuff below ...' line at the end.
Gingerbread? That is so last year, Y U NO ICS? CM9 is missing alot of CM7's great features, plus ICS has an annoying task switcher and scrolls like a fat drunken pig.

* This is a custom script designed to run on the US version
* of the Samsung Galaxy S3. Other phones are currently not
* supported. Follow the instructions carefully and do not cry
* to me about damaged devices. You are choosing to use the
* script and therefore accept the responsibilities
* of modifying your device.
*/
This script was originally written for use on the AxisM ROM, but I have modified it so that it works on all ROMs - both TouchWiz and AOSP. However, due to the robust error-checking in the script, only the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy SIII are supported. While the script does work perfectly well on the US SGS3, it may not fully work on all ROMs. This is partly due to some ROMs having an extreme amount of mods in the framework that inadvertently break the integrity of the files. Note that app integrity is not always a bad thing, it just means that apps and scripts that require framework integrity simply will not work. Currently there is no way to fix the integrity of a file by use of a script, so if you have a broken app, there is nothing I can do at this point. The next step would be for you to contact the developer of your ROM and have them correctly modify the apps and jar files to ensure capability.
NOTE: AxisM users, do not flash this script. The one included in the ROM has more features that are ROM specific. This script is just for anyone else to use on any other ROM.
The available choices in this script are as follows (this list will be updated with every release):
Clean cache (RAM boost)
Enable zRAM
Clean SQlite database files
Zipalign applications
Fix permissions
Odex
A quick note about zRAM
zRAM is a Linux kernel module that basically allows for real-time compression of memory objects that are in RAM/memory. This essentially makes it possible for the RAM to hold more apps in memory which may potentially == greater performance. Unfortunately, no known kernel on the US SGS3 currently supports zRAM, but when one pops up, this script will be available to initialize and optimize the feature.​
STEPS TO INSTALL
Download one of the attached Axis_Shell packages and move it to your SD card
Boot into recovery
Flash the Axis_Shell package
Reboot
STEPS TO USE
You can use this script either from within your phone or via ADB Shell. To use the script from your phone you must have a terminal emulator app in which you will type the following lines one by one:
Code:
su
axis
If using ADB Shell just type:
Code:
adb shell
axis

Sorry guys, I just uploaded a new version to the OP. I tested it and it works
Just a note, I did remove odex for the time being because I discovered an error within the script. It will be re-added when I work out the kinks.

I don't know if this is a bug in the script but when I'm done using the script and want to go back to the terminal (using terminal emulator app btw) I type "e" for exit like it says but it doesn't exit the script and go back to the terminal, it just starts the script over.

[TOOL][UTILITY] CarlivScreenshot - take screenshots with Linux or Windows

CarlivScreenshot tool for taking screenshots while booted up in Android or Recovery. Linux and Windows versions.

}
CarlivScreenshot is a tool to take screenshots through ADB from you phone or tablet.
The original ideea and starting script was published by majdinj here.
I wrote again the script for windows, I ported that to linux too and added a menu driven interface.
I built the fb2png module from Phil3759's recovery repo and used the adb from latest android sdk. For android screenshots this uses same builtin "screencap" feature as majdinj's utility uses. I made though some changes to recovery section, based on infos posted on this thread.
Requirements:
- USB debugging activated in your device.
- Make sure you can connect to your device through ADB ( Check to see if you can run "adb shell cat proc/emmc" or other adb commands "adb devices" or "adb get-state").
* If in android you can't use the tool because adb can't acces the screencap utility, install adb_insecure apk from chainfire (but that needs to have root).
Why?
I needed a utility to take screenshots in linux, for my recovery, and I couldn't find anything. Of course there are few threads explaining how to do it with commands prompt using ffmpeg, but that never worked for my phone - it worked though the makers_mark's utility in windows (only by selecting both framebuffers because sometime was on upper the good one, sometime on lower), and the majdinj utility. I liked his ideea better and so I decided to port it to Linux in bash.
Credits:
- majdinj for the initial script.
- Kyan.ql, Phil3759 and McKael for the fb2png source and hints (found on their posts).
The tool was tested in JB (android 4.2.2) and Kitkat (android 4.4.2) and worked flawless both in windows and linux (ubuntu).
Check post #2 for Linux version and post #3 for Windows version.

CarlivScreeshot Linux version
To start it just double click on screenshots script (Linux) then choose "Run in terminal" from dialog box.
Attached are few screenshots made with it.

CarlivScreeshot Windows version
To start it just double click on screenshots.bat script (windows).
Attached are few screenshots made with it.

Sure, thanks man. I'm glad you liked also the updates on my Image Kitchen
As I said I needed a tool like this for linux but I couldn't find it so... I made it
And if it was good for linux I wanted same thing for windows too..
Lot of work though..

Recovery ScreenShot Tool:
Yes Sir, its A Clean & Fast Tool... Previously i Was Using Makers_Mark's Recovery Screenshot Capturing Tool Which Served Me Well For The Same Purpose But Your Tool is Light Weight And Faster Than Any Other Tool (Y) Thanks
Image Kitchen Tool:
Honestly Speaking, The GUI Version is Good For UnPacking/RePacking Two Or Three IMGs, But For More, i Will Be Using Non-GUI Version v0.5 With Drag And Drop Support Because Of My Laziness i am Hoping To See More Updates in Future For Non-GUI Version Too O

Well I prefer the menu version, but that's just my oppinion, and I don't think the drag&drop is much easier I drop all my images in correspondig folder and then start to unpack (this was the biggest challenge to make that menu list load al files from folder automatically both in batch and bash, because I wanted a simple way... in the end I managed to do it as I wanted). Ah, and as you may have seen, it's portable: it can run even from a flash drive because there are no special requests for partition.
But I was thinking that not everybody may like the menu version and I kept the version 0.5 for those people - and I intend to keep it along with the other one, and any update in scripts or modules will be applied to that too.

i Also Do The Same, i Know What Happens With Drag And Drop When We Have More Than 50 IMGs And Their Unpacked Folders in The WorkDir... LOL
BTW i Was Thinking To Mod Your Drag And Drop Tool So That it Can Be Used From Right Click Menu, This Way it Can Save Us From Scrolling Up And Down Again And Again Just To Drop That IMG/Folder On UnPacking/RePacking Script...

About right click I don't think that modding the script will do the job... I guess you have two options for that: one to modify registries or the second (easy) one to place a shortcut for that script in already existent "Send To" menu then click right on your image or folder "Send To" -> the shortcut.
It will work like this.
From now on, if there is more on this, let's move the discussion on the Kitchen thread, because here is offtopic
Cheers!

Thanks for this works great, Linux version.

Works fine!:highfive: Thanks @carliv for this useful tool :good:
