I have an Atrix 2 running 2.3.6 rooted. (Rooted with SuperOneClick)
I want to enable the Wifi Hotspot feature, I have read several threads on this group, but I do not understand if I download SQlite on my pc and run it or my phone.
I downloaded the program on my phone, but when I open it all I get is a black screen with a box in the upper left corner with a magnifying glass in it, below that I see this "/data/data/com.xuecs.sqlitemanager/databases/defaultdb" The instructions I have read make absolutely no sense to me, the first step says "open settings storage" There is no way to open any thing as far as I can tell. I'm kind of lost here....Can someone help me out?
I want to update to ICS, I get an error, it downloads the file, resets the phone, when the android screen comes up the insallation bar goes about a third of the way then it stops and then it reboots, once its up and running it says "update failed" I have opened SuperOneClick and hit the unroot button, it says it was sucessful and it removes the Superuser app but the ICS OTA update still does not work. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
More detailed instructions for enabling wifi tether can be found at the following link, and I'm also pasting them here in full for anyone else curious. Note that this was the procedure for enabling everything on ICS. I'm not sure whether anything is different on Gingerbread.

Things you will need:
ES File Explorer (free from play store)
aSQLiteManager (free from play store)
1. Launch ES File Explorer and within its settings, grant it full root permissions (near the bottom of settings, go in and check all four checkboxes).
2. From ES File Explorer navigate upward out of your SD card and onto the root of your device, then go into Data/Data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases
3. Copy the "settings.db" file found there over to your SD card
4. Using aSQLiteManager select "Open Database" and pick that settings.db file on your SD card.
5. Select "settings" from the four tables you are presented with
6. Select "Data" from the top button menu
7. You'll see a long list of crap. Hit PgDn until you see line 113 "entitlement_check". Hit Edit and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. While you're here, also go to lines 117 and 118 that start with "dun" and change them both from 0 to 1. This is not necessary for Webtop but will enable wifi hotspot tethering.
9. Exit aSQLiteManager, go back into ES File Explorer and this time copy the modified "settings.db" back into the previous/original folder from Step 2, overwriting the old file.
10. Exit ES File Explorer, reboot your device and Webtop should work as expected.

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I didnt have the File Explorer at first..lol Once I did take care of things and rebooted the phone I kept getting errors that said "The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly" I hit force close and cancel both but the error would keep popping up at random times, plus other errors would pop up random apps running in the background would stop unexpectedly. Then the power button would not lock the screen anymore....The tethering worked though! I ended up doing a factory reset because the errors popped up so often the phone was useless.
I did not touch anything else but Line 150 which was the Entitlement Check line so I have no idea what went wrong.
One other thing, I would like to uprgade to ICS but since my phone is rooted I can't do it OTA, is there a way to manually do it? I remember when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I just put a file on the SD card and installed it, can I do that with ICS 4.0?
Any idea how to turn the camera's shutter sound off? I can't find it in the camera menu.

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.
you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.
On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

I renamed the 3 files, but sound still present.

Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?

Yeah, I even moved the files to other folders, and sounds still there.
I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.
Which files did you rename?

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!
Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg
Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?
i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?
Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?
Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"
that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too
It works perfect with Cataclysm 4.4.2 :good:
Can someone upload the modified camera apk ?

Thank you, but i don't have the skill to do this.
1. Open your favorite file manager ( eg: es file explorer)
2.Find the specific folder (or album) that you want to be hidden from your android phone’s gallery.
3.Tap rename and put a .(dot) in front of the folder name (with no spaces).( eg: .video )
4.Press OK and done.
Your album or folder is now hidden and will not show up on your gallery. To show it up again, simply remove that dot to make it back to normal.
You can view the hidden files in the file manager, make sure to check the ‘Show hidden files’ in the settings menu.
place '.nomedia' file in a folder
1. If u want to hide media in a specific folder without adding "." at starting of the name of folder, copy '.nomedia' file from anywhere from sd card or internal storage and place it in the required folder. Folder will be visible in filemanager, but the media will not be shown in gallery or music player.. :laugh:
2. '.nomedia' file can be found in following locations
1. android>data
2. whatspp>media>images (or any other folder in media)> sent

hit THANKS, if I'm helped you
I am currently using lineageOs 14.1 and whenever i take screenshot or click a photo the awkward sound came even if i am on silent mode. So here is the simple steps to remove them. You will need root and a file explorer (i used mixplorer).
1. Open file manager and head to root then system, media, audio, ui.
2. Renamed the file camera_click.ogg to camera_click.ogg.bak (For camera click and screenshot)
3. Renamed the files VideoRecord.ogg to VideoRecord.ogg.bak and VideoStop.ogg to VideoStop.ogg.bak (For video recording)
4. Reboot
