EXTENDED ROM INDEXING SITE

there it is folks...after 2 days of hard work, my site is almost done
Im posting it now to get some feedback
dont mind the way it looks atm etc and downloads are disabled for now...
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/files/
let me know what you think
btw, I still have to add around 450 files to the site, those arent indexed yet, but I wonder what people think about layout, way of sorting etc etc

there will also be a comments section for people who take the time to register and a simple rating system

looks like a great resource
Shouldn't 2002/2003/2003SE/2005 be an option?

nah, not many files for extended roms are operating system dependant, as far as I know
correct me, if I am terribly wrong

Nice job! Layout looks good with the filter system, although I think that some of the customisation cabs are dependent on OS, particularly for MMS. I may be wrong, but at least someone here can correct me!
Keep up the brilliant work!!

tbh, I aquired all of the files of the FTP, Im thinking about adding a upload form to the site where one can upload their extended rom and the file will land in a temporary folder which I access via ftp, verify and move to the real files directory.
Either this, or there has to be a better way of getting to know when a new extended rom is available for download. Maybe forums on the site will be usefull

file downloads working now...
file downloads are enabled
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/
I am still working on the category sorting....its almost done...but returns wrong matches if more then one category is selected. All the other filter options are working.
TO DO LIST:
- member registration
- further extended comments section, leave comment for members
- develop 'suggest filter' (people who know the file may suggest the filters which apply) for members, gets aproved/ denied via admin control panel
- maybe forums
- rating system
sofar I have magician and blue angel files online, but a lot still needs the filtering applied

Good job bro, but my suggestion is to compress the cab files to rar, you'll gain more space

nice work....and a loooooot to do in the future,if u want to upload all the files :wink:
keep on man,i beleive ur site will become a gr8 station,where u can download everything concerning ext rom files
RAGO :lol:

there are already 1000 files on there...it would take a lot off time to compress them all manually or so

When arching with WinRAR 3.42> use "Put each file in separate archive" option in Files (Archive) Tab

mmm, I could do that...but I would have to re-index all the files I've already done

Thanks for your c00l project!
I'm voting for adding "WM2002/2003/2003SE/2005/ALL/.NET" option there...
And one thingy, why not to allow file storing directly to Category?
Perhaps putting "trusted sender" OR "not trusted" variable will solve the problem. So when a new member sends file a file's comment will indicate that this file is from "UNTRUSTED SOURCE AND MAY HAVE VIRUSES AND STUF...". But when you review the file yourself you change variable of sender to trusted one and all files he sent become trusted... and adding "DELETE THIS FILE (-1)" option to rating system will save your time on deciding whether the sender is trusted or untrusted...
Cheers

uploading himalaya files now....****in loads of working, I had to use ER2003Edit to extract all files manually...better thank me on my knees!!!!!
any way to aquire Wallaby extended rom files? cant seem to extract them in a easy way.......

Wallaby doesn´t have a extended ROM. Only Adaption have been done via operator Config, which was included in the base rom. There are only a few CAB files in it.
If you get me a server i will upload complete set of operator config. If you don´t have one, i will take mine server and send you the link for downloading....
Stefan

mmm, ill see what I will do, thank you

I need more space
I have been offered webspace by one of the members here, which is awesome, but I like to keep using my host.
Due to the huge amount of files, it would cause to much delays to query for remote filenames and remote filesizes, causing very slow response times, rendering the site almost unusable
so, if anyone wants to see the Himalaya and Alpine files online...ever.....some donations would speed up the process

forum online
forum is online, but locked for the moment
registration for it is working, but you cant post anything/ view anything yet, as I am hacking the **** out of the CSS and .tpl files to make it all look like I want it to
tell me what you think

I like the layout for the forum.

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?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site

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

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

I am new to the site and I am attempting to follow this thread... but I dont see the folder for Apache either.

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.

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.

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.

[ROOT][MOD][HOW TO] Disable Presidential Alert Text Messages

[ROOT][MOD][HOW TO] Disable Presidential Alert Text Messages
After reading this thread on how to remove the severe weather alerts, I took it upon myself to find a way to remove Presidential Alerts, which is not an option in the stock ROM. Sure enough, I found the preferences file that the stock messaging app uses, changed a Boolean value, and profited.
What I used:
- External SD card installed in the phone.
- File explorer with root capability (ES File Explorer in my case; I'm sure Root Explorer works just as well).
- PC with a Text Editor (Wordpad worked best for me). I had seen posts on other threads (don't remember exactly which ones) that stated using text editors on the phone may not be saving files properly, so I went with the tried and true route.
Here are the steps that I used, based on memory. (Assuming root capability is already enabled on the file explorer.) Apologies if I left anything out, since it's been a few days since I did this on my phone.
1. Open the file explorer and navigate to the directory /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs
2. Make a copy of the file com.android.mms_preferences.xml and save that copy to the root of the external SD card.
3. Rename the original file to com.android.mms_preferences.xml.orig. This is backup of the original XML file just in case something goes wrong along the way.
4. Connect the external SD card to the PC by whatever means. (I unmounted/removed the external SD card, and inserted it into a card reader attached to the PC.)
5. Navigate to the disk drive corresponding to the external SD card.
6. Using the text editor, open the file com.android.mms_preferences.xml.
7. Search for the Boolean name #cmas#type##presidential#enabled.
8. Change the value associated with that Boolean from true to false.
9. Save the XML file.
10. Insert the external SD card back into the phone.
11. Copy the file com.android.mms_preferences.xml from the external SD card to the directory /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs (you're overwriting the XML file that's already there - that's OK)
12. Exit the file explorer.
13. Reboot the phone. (Not sure if this is really needed, but it's good practice.)
14. After rebooting, check the Messaging settings and verify that there is no check next to Presidential Alerts.
15. (Optional) If Presidential Alerts are not checked, go back into /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs with the file explorer and delete "com.android.mms_preferences.xml.orig".
Have fun!

Has anyone even received any presidential alerts yet? I hadn't even heard of them till this thread.

No I havent. And I haven't figured out what it is. Is this going to be spam or is this going to be something important? If it is spam or anything to do with the elections then I want to get rid of it. Who put here? Verizon?

EAS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System

EAS is designed to enable the President of the United States to speak to the United States within 10 minutes, but the nationwide federal EAS has never been activated.

Replaced the old EBS ("...This is only a test...") which also was never used, but had a localized false alarm in 1971: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Broadcast_System#False_alarm_of_1971
I'd like to think EAS is pretty darn hacker and false alarm "resistant", but who knows.
And if it's nukes, gigantic meteors, mega-waves/volcanoes or martians we're all screwed anyway.

I live on top of a mountain in NC, and I received a weather alert warning me of flash floods in NY. I promptly disabled the severe weather alerts.

Hope this isn't too much of a dumb question: Does this method work on the T-mobile Galaxy S3? I navigated to the /data folder using ES File Explorer, but it is empty. I did some file searches in case it is located in a different folder, but couldn't find it (the *.xml file referenced in the OP) that way either. Any ideas? (I'm rooted with Wicked JB v3 rom) Any other roms that would get rid of this?
Thanks

Do you have root explorer enabled in the ES File Explorer settings?
And thanks for the tip, I hate having things that aren't able to be deselected.
Though it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Deleted the original file, and upon reboot the file gets reset to "true". "False" won't stick.

That might be it. I've switched to a CM rom for now. I'll switch back to TW and check it sometime.

No more presidential alerts...
Worked like a charm. Just edited it to false right on the phone... Note 2...check is gone... Thanks for the post!

I received an AMBER alert on my phone today.. first time I had ever seen that.

FYI this mod works on the S4 too. Thanks to the OP for figuring it out. I have linked your thread in the Verizon S4 General section.

Easier Way - Pros Only
I wrote something on an easier to way to get this done, but I don't recommend it for newbies. It requires a working use of the vi editor. Hope it helps those old enough to remember how to use the vi editor.

I expect there will be a lot of variation from firmware to firmware. Would be interesting to know if your method works...
In Lineage 15.1, I found:
/data/data/com.android.messaging/shared_prefs
but there are multiple preference files, none of which contain references to cmas, etws or anything else that seems related to emergency broadcasts. So, although not ideal, freezing cellbroadcastreceiver seems like my only method for now.

I know this is an old thread but seems to be the most relevant around. Yesterday, the Ontario Provincial Police issued a province-wide Amber Alert for a missing child in Thunder Bay using what would be called a "presidential alert" in the US. We'll probably have to rename it a "Bureaucratic Alert" since the plan in Canada is to use these for everything (!) according to the current thinking of the Canadian regulator (CRTC) without an opt-out.
For more (sorry: new member - can't post links), search for:
- Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2017-91
- Canadian "Alert Ready" FAQ: explains the attempt to rebrand the presidential alerts, highlighting that is the mechanism used.
Running LineageOS 15.1 on a OnePlus 3T, the original method no longer works, as GeTex pointed out above. /data/data/com.android.mms doesn't exist and the prefs file mentioned is not there.
Using Titanium backup, I have frozen CellBroadcastReceiver (com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver) on my phone. Since presidential alerts will be used for everything here (stupid, stupid, stupid), the need to turn these off has arrived.

Posted in your thread but I'll post here too in case others have run into the same thing I did.
Trying this on my Nexus 5 (Hammerhead D821) and while I can find and edit the file, it looks like the line pertaining to presidential alerts is missing. Should I edit it in and set it to false?
Also, when I rebooted and checked the Emergency Alerts config in the Settings app, the boxes were still checked/active. I saw in another thread that the phone has to be set to airplane mode and a backup file deleted - is that what I'm missing here?
Thanks.

For non-rooted phones could a back up and restore with a changed settings file work? There was one from around here somewhere to enable YouTube dark theme in the months the app supported it, but Google hadn't decided to let you enable it.

Programmatically add wifi networks on OP7 with Android Q

Hi!
I have a list of about 100 WiFi SSIDs and passwords that I've extracted from my old phone and I want to add them to the new phone that runs Android 10 and I couldn't find any useful information on the internet as everything seems outdated and not working.
The closest thing I've found is this: https://github.com/steinwurf/adb-join-wifi but I had to write a script, it adds only one network at the time and it doesn't work very well because often the networks aren't added and I also have problems escaping the SSID and passwords.
I've also tried to look for wpa_supplicant.conf but apparently it's not used anymore on Android 9 and 10, instead I've found a file called WifiConfigStore.xml but I'm not sure if and how it can be edited manually. Then I read I should use wpa_cli to add the networks but I get a service error when I run it. I also looked for Android apps but nothing like I need.
How can I add programmatically my networks? Is there an adb command, a file I could edit on the phone or an app that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Well, there's one way: Titanium Backup
It can restore your wifi SSIDs and passwords from an xml file named
com.keramidas.virtual.WIFI_AP_LIST-20191012-065050.tar.gz
(file is inside the archive). This file contains SSID and password in plaintext.

Inside the archive there's WifiConfigStore.xml which I've already found it. The format doesn't look trivial to me so this idea is not really usable. But thanks!
