[Q] Shell Script help please

Hi there, so I have heard there's some way to write sh scripts for android?
I am wanting to make an easy way to randomly change one line in an XML file located on the flash. Meaning it'll need su priviledges.
Basically I'm wanting to make something that'll change the mobile id for grooveshark with one touch, so the trial wont expire (why oh why don't they go to their usual ad supported method?)
I want to make a shortcut on my home screen that I can touch to to reset my trial
Any pointers?
These are the contents of the XML file in /data/data/com.grooveshark.android.v1/
Grooveshark.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="cc4">8765432198</string>
<string name="cc1">0</string>
<string name="cc2">0</string>
<boolean name="hasTrialStarted" value="true" />
<string name="cc3">0</string>
<int name="splashSponsoredExpires" value="0" />
<boolean name="trialHasExpired" value="false" />
<string name="cid">229</string>
<string name="loginUnPwToken">5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</string>
<string name="username">username</string>
<string name="sessionID">c3a5a6eca887891b9bf69687badb7531</string>
<long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
<int name="sponsoredSplashCount" value="0" />
<int name="trialExpiresTime" value="1382277664" />
<int name="splashSponsorID" value="0" />
<boolean name="gs_tos_bool" value="true" />
<int name="trialNumPlays" value="0" />
</map>
I changed any numbers that'd allow you to auto log in as me
The important part is: <long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
that value has to change whenever your trial expires.
Can anyone give me some pointers? I don't need a tutorial, just an example of shell scripts on the home screen of android.

Well, I have an update. I couldn't find any good reference for shell scripts on linux, so I went ahead and just set up the SDK. I don't have too much java experience, bt I was able to get the interface made pretty easily using the online resources. Now I simply need to make the button in the app death the xml file, find that string and replace it with a random number. I anyone has some good examples of how to search and edit the contents of a file, that'd be awesome. Any takers?

Editing the Xperia Play (slide open) app

See Post 21 for guide on how to add modify your apps to appear in the launcher....
Orignal post below...
Hi,
Ok, it really annoyed me that when I flipped open the game pad I could only see the apps Sony Erricson allowed.... I have made some progress on this front, just not a 100% working fix yet
I'm not an expect, so please don't flame me if this is useless info!
Here goes the instructions....
I will warn those who have little skill in editing files this is not for you!
Here is how I added Solitare (free app from the android market) as a test to the Xperia Play Launcher....
First browse to
data/data/com.sonyericsson.semcsuite/databases
copy the to content.db file to your computer
edit the content.db
with SQLite (which you can download for free)
The info you need to edit is under browse data in SQLite, you need the pkg name of the app you want to include inside, as well as the full name of the app you are inserting… I simply replaced an app I wasn't bothered about in the launcher, my assumption would be that you can insert more by following the numbering convention used!
In the cover column you need to use -1 as the cover name and false under the menu...
then save the file
Now reboot the phone open the xperia play app, click on more games…. Then copy over the file…. I copied over the file while on more games….
Then kill the app in the settings (in mine shows as Android System), finally reopen the app and the added applications will show!
You then have the added apps you want in the launcher
Here is a screenshot of the added solitaire app as a test:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/821/screenshot2zm.png
The big problem I have found so far is that the app very frequently ovewrites the .db For example on reboot or sometimes randomly, so at the moment it's not an actual fix...
I have attempted making the file read only but this crashes the app on opening...
But progress is progress any ideas moving forward? It would be nice to be able to slide open your play and see a bunch of emulators

Just found your old thread, damn could have been here sooner! Oh, well progress still made
So much better knowing I can slide open my play and see all my emulators!
I've found out that once you get the hacked.db file on the play and get it to open correctly provide you press the home button and not the back button then it stays put Hopefully it should stay in place unless I accidently quit the app or need to reboot!
Still not a permanant fix, but close enough until we figure out how to stop the app replacing the edited file!
Here are two new screenshots completed with emulators hehe
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/screenshotye.png/
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/200/screenshot1kv.png/
The only downside is that the app blows up the icon of the edited in app, so it looks a bit pixelated - but I really don't care about that!

that looks really cool maybe a line in one of the .xml files can be changed in the .apk to get it to read from a diffrent (modded) file, then it dosent matter if it rewrites the database.db file

Could the whole db edition be done through an app?

Yes, we know, this is nothing new. We've already known about this for weeks. The problem of course is that it has to be populated manually. We've been searching for a way to do this automatically just by looking at how it works and doing what needs to be done to tell it "hey, I should be on this list" whenever it rebuilds the database.

Well so far good news, the xperia play app has yet to overwrite the file, so I guess leaving it the app open and not quiting, is possibly a very good temporary solution.

Unfortunately, after taking a look at the xml files no joy
There doesn't seem to be any reffrence to writing to the .db or that location...
Within the apk, there is a searchable.xml file though where the app is asking to search. So, possibly changing this so it searches for something else? hmm
The problem is if you change it to something else then I assume it would create a blank .db file! LOL But this might be a way forward... Feel free to take a look at the included xml file of the launcher here:

Probably, if someone wanted to create such an app... But editing the .db file is not so hard, provided you are not wanting to change things all the time! I'd write up step by step instructions, so it should be fairly easy...
The problem at the moment is that it is not a full solution to our problem...

I've had a scan though the past posts, and yes your right the .db file was known about for weeks... But unfortunately not followed though, no one actually attempted to edit the .db file nor get the edited file to work or at least not that I can see.... It's a shame really as we could have been here sooner...
Actually, I have an idea of how the app decides what should go into the database... I believe it is rather simple how the app works... The app will search installed apk, then my assumption would be that it would look at the AndroidManifest.xml of said installed apps for an xperiaplayoptimized_content tag.
An xperiaplayoptimized_content tag can be seen in the AndoridManifest.xml of two free apps on the market Cyberlords - Arcology, Happy Vikings.... I've not checked any other apps from the market, but please check more - maybe I'm wrong .
The problem is if this is how the app works and is needed in every app, it would mean adding to evey app we wanted to be included in the launcher and removing from every app we did not want to appear in the launcher, sigh...
I suppose if someone wants they could check this for certain by adding an xperiaplayoptimized_content tag to an app or removing the tag from an app and seeing what happens...
So, I'm thinking three possible options? Unless any can think of any further solutions?
a) Change how the Xperia Play app searches - possibly by editing the searchable.xml file - although I'm not sure what to change the search to?
b) Add the xperiaplayoptimized_content tag to every maifest of every app we want included - that's also, assuming xperiaplayoptimized_content is the correct tag!
c) Leave things as they are - you just lose the changed .db file on reboot or when you close the application by mistake. Perhaps even a simple app to replace .db file when this happens?
Sigh, so much work/effort for something simple - damn you Sony Erricson! LOL

Hurray, it works
Added this line:
Code:
<meta-data android:name="xperiaplayoptimized_content" android:resource="@drawable/icon" />
right before:
Code:
</application>
you can probably use the @drawable to make it any icon you want.
The happy viking game uses a resolution of 170*170 I believe.
Now is there anyone with the skills to have the android manifests modified of allready installed apps with a nice menu where you could select wich app you want to have the line added to the manifest? If that's possible at all.
Edit: updated the app I use for testing stuff so it shows up in the game launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14451093#post14451093

Great work , just tested your app! Awesome we now know for certain that xperiaplayoptimized_content is the correct tag...
Ageed it needs someone skilled - but an app that acutally modifies the manifests already installed apps is far beyond what I can do
As you say I'm not even sure such a feat is possible?
An alternative may be to decompile your apps and recompile them... Apktool, should do the trick...
code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Hmm, tempting... I think I might have a go with one app, see how long it takes to decompile, edit and recompile an app!

Hi, I tried ninjamorph but it didn't actually decompile the the android manifest...
However apktool did!
So, it's a simple matter of copying your apk, decompile with apktool, add the xperia play optimized tag, recompile with apktool and then install
It's a much quicker process than it sounds, and to add the tag to an app in total takes about 15 mins with install...
If anyone wants step by step instructions let me know!
It's so much better having the apps you want in the launcher....

If it isnt too much trouble,could you please post the step by step process. I would greatly appreciate it.

I picked the Xperia Play Camera Mod app, courtesy of Zoop57, to tinker a bit. svenk's suggestion left me with this error:
Code:
C:\Users\Logseman\Downloads\seb.camera.mod-1\AndroidManifest.xml:46: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'resource' with value '@drawable/icon').
and some others chained to it. I presume we need to add something more than that line? This is the first time I actually use apktool, so I can perfectly have missed something.

apk tool should give a "res" map, if you have folders like: "drawable-h/m/ldpi" look into it, mostly it has an icon named "icon.png" but it could be named different with the camera app, if it is different change the icon '@drawable/icon' to what the file is named in the camera app. If such folders don't exist you probably have to chancgte the '@drawable' part to.
PS.
I think the line of code in case of the camera app should be:
Code:
<meta-data android:name="xperiaplayoptimized_content" android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher_camera" />

I managed to build the app using "@drawable/ic_launcher_camera" in that field. However, after installing it, it won't show in the Xperia Play launcher with the games. Moreover, I decoded fifa.apk, which does appear in the launcher as Fifa 10, and it doesn't show that line on the Manifest:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="1034" android:versionName="1.0.34" package="com.eamobile.Fifa"

</manifest>

Did you reboot the phone? The launcher doesn't refresh its database all the time. The line was there with the happy vikings game and it did work to add my touchpadtester app to my launcher.

I've uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, opened it, closed it and rebooted the phone to no avail. It won't show in the menu.

Does the camera app uses sdk version 9 or later? It should be stated in the manifest. Probably the xperia play optimized tag only works since android 2.3.2.

[REQ] Hack App to show Hidden Setting

I was wondering if someone could tweak this app to show a hidden setting, I've looked into several XML files in this APK and I can see that in the Global Settings the setting to Enable 3G/4G but when you use the program and go into the settings it is hidden, the Disable HD Purchase warning does show.
I'm hoping if someone can tweak this and re-sign the APK I can use it to view videos over cell connection! Thanks for you help

ive been looking into this too, there seems to be a lot of hidden settings on the app, havent had much luck though.

[HELP] Modding CM7 Torch to provide a toggle-shortcut

Hey Guys,
I am currently running the latest CM7.2 nightly by maniac103 on my Motorola Defy.
CM7 usually has a special modified Nexus One Torch integrated, whose packagename is "net.cactii.flash2".
As I would like to assign a torch-toggle to a slider in widgetlocker, I need the torch-app to provide a shortcut/activity since it only offers a toggle-widget.
I am talking about the app-specific shortcuts not the shortcuts that directly link to an app.
EDIT: The reason why I haven't put this in Q&A is that this is hopefully going to be a mod, so it may save the mods some time for not needing to push it to another forum...
I may have already found out that the receiver the torch uses is called "net.cactii.flash2.TorchSwitch" and the intent it expects is "net.cactii.flash2.TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT".
I am not sure though, if I got this whole Intent-/Receiver-thingy right... Any corrections are appreciated.
From this tutorial I have learnt, that apps provide these shortcut-entries in their AndroidManifest.xml. I should be able to modify, recompile and sign this apk.
I just don't know exactly, how I have to add this to the AndroidManifest.xml in terms of syntax and language. That's where I need help...
EDIT: Here's the code of the AndroidManifest.xml for quick review:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
</manifest>
Before you tell me now, that I should use a different flashlight-app: I was already using TeslaLED which runs well with WidgetLocker.
However, the in-built torch offers a high brightness-mode that I want to use. Additionally, TeslaLED always needs 2-3 seconds to activate the flashlight, unlike Torch, which usually toggles instantly...
I have appended the torch-apk, as well as the AndroidManifest.xml I want to modify.
Here is an additional link (from another dev), which shows shortly, how the torch app works together with a statusbar-toggle, if that helps in any way...
Summary of what is needed: A mod for net.cactii.flash2's AndroidManifest.xml which provides a high brightness flashlight toggle-shortcut
If you potentially know how to write this short piece of code and you just want to know how android handles these shortcuts, please read this tutorial. It's very short and helpful.
EDIT: It seems that we have to modify the app as well, not just the AndroidManifest.xml, because it would place a shortcut in the menu, but Torch wouldn't know what to do when I select this item. Feel free to post your ideas and/or corrections
EDIT: Alternatively we could try to make Torch listen to TeslaLED's intents, but I think that would be more sophisticated and could lead to problems, when both apps are installed...
Thanks for any help in advance!

Okay, I'm using tasker to make a widget via power toggles... I used the same line in tasker, and it works great! Here's what I'm wondering now...
In power toggles, with regular toggles, you can have the icon change colors, say it would be green when the flashlight is on, and gray when off... Obviously you can't do that by just sending the intent, so anyone have any ideas about how to do this?
I know power toggles uses Tesla by default, but I don't like the delay.. Torch is on immediately, so thats what I want to use.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, I figured it out... The following task, paired with power toggles, works great! The button is off when the light is off, and the button is in the "Active" state when the light is on.. For mine its Gray when the light is off, and Green when the light is on....
If %Toggle ~ 1

Else

[Q] mp3's won't load anymore

For the last few months when I open mxplayer I see my videos and mp3's. Videos open but when I click on a song MXplayer just disappears. I downloaded AIO Pack codecs and it shows under MXPlayer Help as being used. Is there something else I can try? Thanks

Are you getting any audio or not?

Yes. Audio works fine on videos and also streaming podcasts using mxplayer. When I begin the program it shows whatever videos, recordings and mp3's I have on my phone. However when I click a music mp3 it's as if the program just automatically closes.

JFTR that is a configuration file, not a log.

Rats. Do I have to install another app to do this?
I see something called "MX Log Collector" when I search for how to get log for mxplayer.
I think I've gone a ways to solve my own problem? What I've bee trying to do was 1st open mx player.It shows a selection for videos, music etc. When I navigate to the music part and see my mp3's I select one. Then the mxplayer window closes and nothing happens. Today I went to my es file explorer. Found the mp3 file, clicked it and then it asked me which player I wanted to use to play it. I selected the mxplayer and it started playing!

I'm assuming here that MX Player is still not playing them when you open one from within MX Player
You might like to try this:
save your settings from the MX Player general menu,
uninstall MX Player
play an MP3 file using the default system or another app you have loaded - and MX Player will no longer be registered so you should see the selection menu
reinstall MX Player
play any MP3 file - and by rights I think you will see the menu again to select the player you wish to use so reselect MX Player
See if that helps the situation - and then reload your saved settings.
If there is still a problem then try a basic MP3 file to see if that plays - say with a lower bitrate around 128 Kbit, stereo, CBR
Re the log - you are on the right track I think: see here https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/faq#TOC-How-to-send-system-log-

There's already a sticky topic about log collection.

I have had the same issue. I discovered this only happens to me when I have 1274 or less mp3's in my music folder. 1275 or more and it does the same for me also.
