[Q] Need Help Moving and Replacing XML File ASAP :O - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Help Please!
I've been trying desperately for a while now to change the name of my service provider in my banner and lockscreen and I think I'm almost done but, I have one problem!
To change my Service provider name I took a copied version of my eri.xml file off my phone and changed it from "MetroPCS" to "AndroJordan" using HexEditor. Ok, so far so good. but then after putting the new banner eri.xml file back onto my phone I wasnt able to use it to replace the old one.
How do I delete the original eri.xml file so that I can put the new one in? Or better yet, how do I access my phone's system files through my computer? Everytime I connect my phone to my PC, I can only access what is on the SD Card.
When I try to delete the original eri.xml file through Astro File Manager on my phone it just gives me an error message saying that it was unable to delete the file.
Someone please help me! I really just need to know how to access my phone's system files so that I may move/delete files

TFM2DC Themes???

I have Conflippers 10-21 ROM on my alltell touch.. So far I have not had to many issues and the problems I have had, I found the answers pretty easy either here or over @ ppcgeeks.. But these themes are killing me.. I'm sure it is something simple I am just not seeing but here I am anyway..
I have found and read through the theme threads, found some I like and downloaded the zip files. I unzip them to my pc no problem.. Here is where the problems start.. about half the time when I try to move them to my storage card through activesync I get a alert telling me it cannot convert a file.
now if it does copy over ok, I can go through the md2c and see the folder on my storage card but if I try to add it to my themes folder I get a error that says I am missing the HTChomesettings.xlm(I think) file and it will not add it?
what am I missing here.. since this does not seem to be a common issue I know it's something simple... but it is just escaping me...
P.S.. sorry for the poor grammar. I am doing this at work from my phone...
Thanks for the help.
U're absolutely missing .xml file (HTCHomeSetting). Try to use another xml file, m2dc should be working after u put .xml file on windows folder
Is there just one file for all themes or is this a file that should be included with every theme I download??
the reason I ask is a couple of the themes I have tried work just fine.. most though give me the error though..
Some of the themes has no .xml file. Just look at the clock style in the home tab. If it's similar with another themes that u ever used succesfully, simply put the .xml file in windows folder. Good luck
What file are you copying to your device? The file you copy should be some how compressed and contain the xml in the root folder.
Some of the themes I have downloaded seem to be packed into a folder and some of when you unzip it are all the file individual.... (does that make since?)
Either way I put them on my storage card and then point M2DC at the storage card a couple of them seem to work fine and some of them give me the error

cab uninstallation cache?? retrieving in-use system dll

If someone installs a cab that overwrites a system dll but makes a copy of the dll somewhere to restore when the time comes to uninstall that application, where would I find that copy? I am having a heck of a time trying to copy a stock dll from my phone. I can overwrite the dll when I install the app and when I uninstall it the old one is back. the stock one is 14k and the other is 20k. they are different files altogether. I thought maybe if I could get at the file while it was stored away in the cab manager then I could retrieve the file and life could go on. I can't just copy the file with activesync - it says access denied. I try to copy it with total commander on the device and that does not work. I even wrote a mortscript to copy the file and that did not work either. I think it is because the file is in use - it's the file that controls the data connection. I tried shutting off the data connection but still cannot get to it. can anyone offer any tips?
another Idea might be to include mortscript as an OEM and then execute the script that copies the file during autorun right after the rom is flashed?
thanks all.
edit: same result when trying to copy the dll from a stock sprint, touch pro, custom rom sprint tp, or custom rom verizon tp

Find cached files?

Hey
So i just got the Blizzard Authenticator from the Android Market, i know it's storing an xml file that has a token and some other information, i was wondering if there is any way i can find out where that file might be?
I want to find the file, because in that way i can sync the key between my computer and phone
Cheers
-Jazerix
It would most likely be in /data/data/package name/shared_prefs, where package name is the name of the apk (probably something like com.blizzard.authenticator).
Thanks for your reply, but when i check out the data folder, it's completetly empty
Is there any other way i can trace the file path?
P.S. i'm using a Nexus S with CyanogenMod
Edit: I'm able to find something on the SD Card (/sdcard/Android/data), but there is no file regarding the mobile authenticator
Ok, so i just bought Root Explorer, and the folder is no longer empty cheers, found the files ^^

Samsunboot.qmg

Hi All,
I have a SamsungAce3 with some carriers boot animation.
I would change it back to the stock one.
Can anyone share with me these files :"samsungboot.qmg" and "samsungloop.qmg"
I need the original non carrier branded version.
Thanks
Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7275T generic qmg files
Attached, worked fine changing my Telstra 7275 to generic. I had to rename them to get them to upload to the forum, so just change the extension to .qmg. These came from a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7275T, and I have successfully put them on my Telstra version, the GT-S7275Y. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, so no warranty, sorry.
Any problems PM me. Your phone will need to be rooted to allow you to put these in, if using ADB be sure to delete the old files, change the folder permissions, then push the new files.
And be sure to double check the files are there and valid (double check you renamed them to .qmg) before rebooting your phone. I can't help you if you brick it, sorry.

Thanks,
I will try out today ...
Everything went smoothly, "T" branding gone! So thank you!
Note to anybody else trying this the files "samsungboot.qmg", "samsungloop.qmg" and "shutdown.qmg" go in the system/media folder. A second copy of the "shutdown.qmg" file needs to go in the system/media/video/shutdown folder if it exists. This depends on the customisation by your phones provider, mine was Telstra Australia and the second copy was necessary on mine.

[Q] One Plus One stock file manager problem. (NEED HELP)

I use a one plus one. I recently updated my cell phone to Cyanogen mod version 12.0-YNG1TAS2I3.
Now I transferred some files into the secure folder of the stock file manager present in the phone from another folder in the phone only. I actually transferred two folders. Now I open the secure storage with a password to see that the folder is not showing. A folder was previously present in it that still shows but the one I moved 12 hours ago is no where to be found. Please I need help with this as it had really important files. Anyone with a good solution is always welcome, thank you.
I've got the exact same problem, did you manage to find the files?
