Anyone know of an Android device-wide search tool, one searching from '/' on down, NOT starting at 'sdcard'.
If it searchs bytes or strings or numbers, that would be great. If it exists!

...and you have used Quick Search Box to find files or strings within files in 'root' directories? Found 'hosts' in /etc, for instance? I can't. How do I do it, please?

Changing string in Web search today plugin

Guys, did anyone had a success doing that?
I've tried playing with
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="en"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/palm?q="
but I had no success so far.
Anyone tried it?
I believe you have to hex edit the WebSearchPlugin.dll in \windows directory someone has already made a nice one with commands and stuff at pdaphonehome

Simply changing the URL works for me?
Heh..
Changing the url does not work for me. May be it is because I use the plugin on Wizard. All I want to change is to have web pages from search results to be displayed in xhtml...
Is there a way? Which hex editor should I use?
Which install file did you use?
I
I've usede the original dll dumped from Treo. I've just copied the dll to /Windows and did the nessesary registry record in .../Software/Microsoft/Today/...
I've tried to modify the library myself using 3rd party hex editor, but I could not fine any reference to google search string in the file.
I would like to have a search string like http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict=
Can you post the DLL?

Try try this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="xhtml"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict="
So if i searched for tree it would then read
http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict=xhtml&q=tree
The search URL is as follows: "home"+"lang"+"&q="+search
Is there a reference in the DLL to &q=?
Some handy search URLS
Google - xhtml
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="xhtml"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict="
AltaVista
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"=""
"Home"="http://www.altavista.com/web/results?itag=ody"
Live.com
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"=""
"Home"="http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?__redir=1"
Nope, changing registry does not help
I have attached the dll and reg files that I've used to instal the plugin. I've created the url search string registry manually after installing the files attached.

Saving files/attachments - directory tree view

Hi,
When saving attachments from outlook you get a very annoying save as scrren which you specify where to install the files to.
Unfortunately this only allows you to choose storage card or main memory and then choose the first level folder.
What if you need to save to a lower level folder?
I did some searches on this forum but couldnt find anything but I can almost be certain this has been discussed. I remember there was a little utility that changed this save as screen to a proper tree level view save as screen....
does anyone have this?
Cheers...

Is there something to list the entire tree structure of the PPC and External Card Storage when you use the File --> Open in most programs?
For example, I store all my PDF's under \Storage Card\My Documents\E-Books\
When I use the File ---> Open Dialog in Adobe, it shows me very few directories. I'd like to be able to browse to any folder on the PPC in the Open File Dialog Box.
I hope somebody can help in this regard.

[Q] How to browse an .apk on your desktop?

Hello everyone. Although n00bs aren't allowed here, I do want to ask you a question that might be very n00bish. And maybe a little inappropriate. Or asked in the wrong section of this forum.
But here it goes: I want to try and edit a savegame for a game on my HTC Hero (baseball superstar 2010). So, first I tried to locate where all the files for this game could be installed on my phone. I did not succeed.
But with help from this forum, I found out that I might find the files by using Astro File Manager. I can use this app to click on the .apk from the game, that I have on my sdcard, and then choose the option 'browse file'. There, I find a lot of files! So, the first problem is solved.
The second problem is, that I cannot edit any of the files I then find. And I cannot find a file that has the datestamp of today, or yesterday, when I last played the game. Shouldn't there be a very recent file with the saved game data in it somewhere?
For me, it would be a lot easier if I could browse the apk on my desktop with a simple explorer. But if I hook up my sd-card to my pc, I cannot open the .apk. How can I accomplish this?
I hope I gave a decent description of my problems, and hopefully anyone can help me with A) finding out which file to edit B) how to open or edit this file and C) what to edit!
Thank you all in advance for your time and patience.
Use 7zip to open/extract the .apk file. You can use winrar too, but I like 7zip better. I'll try to find a link in a minute, or you can always google it if I don't post back quick enough for you.
Your questions are reeallly noobish ;-P
Apk files store libraries and other static files of your applications - there you could find images, texts, code, etc., but not runtime data like savegames. Look into /data/{package-name}/ - you could find package name in many places, I think it's in Settings -> Manage applications, but I'm not sure.
Very noobish yes
I have done something in the meanwhile, and that is: buy the real deal from the market. I no longer seem to have the .apk, but that should be no problem. Now the real game is officially installed onto my phone.
But ... where? I have tried looking in /data with my file managers, but they say that the folder is empty! So... where are my apps installed then? They must be on my phone somewhere. Do I have to root my phone in order to see anything in the /data/folder?

I'm not sure, but I think so. This directory is read-protected, so apps can't steal data of other apps. And I've mistaken: it's /data/app/{package-name}.
Hmmm. Do you know a good way to do that? I have a HTC Hero with the 2.1-update1 firmware (so my phone tells me!).

I think I'm correct in saying yes. I use RootExplorer and can see my apks in data/app, but if I use AndExplorer I can't.

Hi There,
I've opened another thread to stop the clutter, but: I have installed Root Explorer and used (I thought) Universal Androot to root my mobile phone. It did install Superuser, but when I open Root Explorer, I don't get a prompt to put it on the superuser list... so nothing seems to work. Do you know what I should do, and how I can do that?

You might be best searching your phones forum for a solution unless someone can offer you help here.
Iirc, savedata and settings would be in /data/data/com.gamevil.bs2010/
probably in a folder named "files".
start by looking in there.
other apps would be in /data/data/[packagename]

Is your S4 rooted? I have an unrooted S4 (GT-I9500) and I couldn't find the particular path that you stated nor any folder with the name com.samsung.android.service.travel
I've been looking for ways to save those pictures too. Any help would be appreciated
Hi there, yes my s4 i9500 is rooted, i think You have 2 options:
1-Root your phone, it's really easy using chainfire's root and Odin, and search for path I mentioned.
2-Search if any folder app allows you to browse inside the whole android's files structure without being rooted, and search for the path I mentioned.
If step 1 or 2 are not successful for you but at least you can browse into the whole android's file structure ( as suggested in step 2) then you can make a search of jpg files using the search function of your file browser app and wait until it finish and look into results, the images you are looking for should appear and you will be able to check its path for future reference (In case this path would be different from mine)
Thanks. I'll root my phone and give it a try!
Rooted my phone, but still no luck. That particular folder doesnt exist on my phone, it seems
Searched for the images and no images appear either while I have it on my lock screen. Weird state of affairs.
