[Q] Bluestacks Date and Time modification - General Questions and Answers

*NOOB HERE (to the forum)
Would like to know if anyone has any idea how i could force bluestacks (android for PC) to use my pc D&T instead of the D&T from the servers...
*I know that i can modify the date and time manually but i am attempting to preform a system modification.
(For the people who need to know: I would like to be able to change my D&T of my "device" while other programs are running...)
Side note: does anyone know what URL/server bluestacks generates its date and time from?
Reason: I could divert the URL using my local "hosts" DNS file on my PC...
Thanks for your time
J
PS: Sry for such a strange question on my first post

installing certificates

can anybody help me how to install some certificates? I need one to connect to the wifi in my school.. I tried make a cab but it do not works..
Copy the certificate file to your device, open file explorer and click the file You should see message "Certificates were installed"... I think that's all, at least that's how it worked for me
It does not work for me .. I have tried it.. It says it can not open such file
Try using .cer files. If your school doesn't have those, try googling some converter from other formats to .cer
thank you a lot..it worked...don´t you know how should I use this certificate when I´am logging in to the wifi in school?
just turn on Wi-Fi and follow the instructions on screen. You will just have to choose correct encryption type, input username and password and then it will automatically use installed certificate to ensure that the connection is secure.
certificates - how to make your own?
Dear Forum, I really have problems with several apps, having .Net-framework 2.0 AND 3.5 installed at my devices - My problem: some apps simply don`t run, even by changing the Application policy from one to the other or to default.
I oftenly get the error - GNAgent.exe - .......
So if I would be able to create my own cert can I give allowences to several apps with problems?
thxs for answering

Hi, why do you think your own certificate will help?
GNAngent.exe is part of Google Navigator, maybe uninstalling (or reinstalling) it will solve your problems as well.
Anyway, here is a mention how to install self-signed cert: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281723

[Q] omnia i900 problem

i have a problem. my omnia i900 has not working touchscreen and i want to use the second option to control-use my phone with trackpad/mouse but because my touchscreen is not working at all i must change settings to use trackpad instead of touchscreen by remote control(activesync) through computer. how can i do this, can anyone help me.
Install MyMobiler in you pc. It'll allow you to use your PC to control the connected phone.
mymobiler doesnt work for me because when i start my mobiler on computer the phone wants me to accept remote acces and because the touchscreen is not working i cannot accept it. i want to know exactly what program to use AND EXACTLY what to do to change settings on the phone(which file to change or overwrite and with what file to overwrite on phone windows through my computer)
TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT VALID SO I CANT CLICK ON YES OR NO(accept or deny) IN ANY CASE
please write me the exact process
Hey watch the freakin' caps n bold! I'm trying to help here.
Can you access any app? With a simple registry change you can use the trackpad like a mouse pointer... Set the "HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Mouse\ActionMethod" value to "3001" (without quotes).
Else you could do it with Mortscript (do you have it installed?). Just place the script attached in "Windows\Startup" and reboot your phone.
exactly, i cant install any app to phone, because if I want to install it, the phone will ask me to accept/allow the installation, and because touchscreen is not working I cant click on screen to allow installation so the only way to solve my problem is to change registry(to activate mouse/trackpad instead of touchscreen) by connecting computer and phone using activesync on my computer.
I have no experience with registry changing, I even dont know how to find the registry(hklm) and even dont know how to change it so I need exact instruction, but remember, I dont know where it is(reg) and how to change it. So please write me the exact instruction, step by step. Tnx for sending me mouse.zip file. I will use the file when somebody will ive me instruction how to do it.
I know to connect the phone with computer, I know how to use activesync, but to work with registry i am a rookie.
OR
please tell me the exact instruction with mortscript. is it connected with mouse.zip or is mouse.zip standalone script to repair the problem. I dont know how to use mortscript, I did what u wrote- I copy morthscript into phone windows/startup. at the same point i extracted mouse.zip into windows/startup. so both are in startup folder. please give me a little bit more detailed instrution about this. tnx
You know I just fired up my old i910 and with windows button I was able to enable mouse without touching the screen. Swipe dpad to get to settings navigate and enable.
good day.
I don't think he'll be able to send the "Ok" to the window...
Ok I've adapted it again...
Extract the files from mouse2.zip. Place "fix.lnk" in the startup folder and place the other two files on the root of the device (internal memory... not storage or memory card). Reboot the device.

i have my key already , im just lacking this step to proceed further.

The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;

You are probably just missing a step
you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem
Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.
another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE
Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?
make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab Questions

firstally im a new user and first time joining this site, now sorry if this is in the wrong spot and if its been asked before but im unable to find what i seek
i have a few questions and am a complete noob when it comes to modding the android system also i used 1.3.0 of z4Root to root my australian android 2.2 froyo samsung galaxy tab 7 inch screen android tab
question 1: how do i go about viewing the root system files of my android device via a windows xp machine (how do i view the tab system files from a computer)
question 2: how do i theme the icons and menus and where can i download them
question 3: if i was to remove root access after doing the themeing would the theme be kept on my phone or would it be removed
question 4: how do i go about finding out whos using my mobile ap connection when its active (is there a program i can use or is it impossible)
Hi, welcome to the xda.
In response to your Pm..
1- As far as i know there is no easy way of doing it.
2- Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
3- as far as i know theming involves replacing system files, so if you remove the root access the theme should work.
4-Well, when you set up your mobile Ap you should make it secure with a password, that way the only people accessing your mobile network will be the only ones with the password.
I’m sorry i can’t be more specific but i myself a nob on android.
i strongly suggest that you read the forums from the link above before doing any changes to your device.
Regards
Faria
1: Download the android SDK then use the adb shell to view your androids file system
2: Theme is usually done by getting the specific files, like framework-res.apk, changing colors /images, resigning the package and putting it onto the phone again.
3: Once the theme is installed it won't care about root or not. You just need root to replace the old files
thank you both of you i will try what you suggest and post how it goes (mainly want access as a game running on fpse refuses to load save files and a fix requires the files found in root)
EDIT: ok i decided to go by another post and download root explorer it lets me copy the files to my mem card then i can mess with via pc a slower but safer way IMO

[Solved] Control App (jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp)

Hi,
I'm still using CD Receiver XC-HM82. There is a dedicated, quite old, application Control App which Pioneer released some time ago. After installing the app, when a CD receiver is discovered the app unfortunately downloads some data needed for managing this particular model.
Recently I reinstalled android system and when I try downloading those data it says "download failed". The reason might be that there are some issues on Pioneer server side or they've simply stopped supporting this device.
I have still one phone where this application is fully installed and working fine. I think that the data (downloaded from Pioneer servers to manage XC-HM82) are being store at: /data/user/0. However, I haven't rooted this phone.
The question. How can I retrieve data from /data/user/0 and what's maybe even more important can I create APK which will include all data needed for managing XC-HM-82 so I could still use this application to manage my CD receiver?
Thanks for any tips
I'll answer to my own post for users who might use it.
1.Turn on Developers option in your phone
2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging as Root or Root via ADB
3. Check all aps you have installed
adb shell pm list packages -f -3
4. To backup base apk (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-PIpLM2ikeE7WRs7X2TlOFg==/base.apk pioneer.apk
5. To backup data of the application (including packet for controlling particular model)
adb backup -f pioneer.adb -apk jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
6. You should received two files: pioneer.apk and pioneer.adb
7. To restore base apk (in my case)
adb install pioneer.apk
8. To restore data of your app (in my case)
adb restore pioneer.adb
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
Eventually, you should have a feel backup of you app with data folder.

Gregory, thank you very much for your post!
First of all, I learned that I could stop checking my home network/router/settings etc.. to find the cause of the failing download.
I have the bluray player Pioneer MCS-FS232, with the controlapp working on my tablet.
I want to transfer the app to my phone.
I followed your steps:
Pulled the apk and backed up the data
I re-installed the app with adb install, and I restored the data with the commands above. Device report success after restoring data.
Unfortunately the app persists in asking for a download (also after restarting device). I tried also on another device, same result.
Could it be that the data restore command do need more specifications?
Thanks in advance for your reply...
Ptr
PS: the full command for step 4 would be (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-HjWUmVnui7FpTk0qKpQ3Ow==/base.apk pioneer.apk
you might want to add
adb pull
to your text in step 4
Thanks PtKt for your post and correction regarding "adb pull" missing.
There's no problem with base apk:
Pioneer ControlApp for Android - APK Download
Download Pioneer ControlApp apk 4.1.0 for Android. ControlApp is an application for corresponding Pioneer Products control.
apkpure.com
The thing is the data files (downloaded from Pioneer servers when it was still possible). What's the version of system: on a tablet and phone?
Recently, I realized that this method works on Android 9-11 but not on Android 7 cause there's a different folder structure. It recognized CD receiver but crashes when trying to connect to it.
Hello Gregory,
1. first tried it on my phone (where I had the app, but deleted it ( ). Android 11. This is the taarget-device. Not rooted. APK file installed with adb succesfully
2. when this did not work I tried on a tablet (rooted Asus transformer tf701t with timduru android 7). installed APK, date reports succes, but no working app.
3. device where the app works is Huawei tablet with android 10 (not rooted)
4. My computer is an old IMAC with Ununtu 20.4 lts
I tried to open the pioneer adb file, only partly accessible and only 5 lines.
I checked Androi/data/jp.pioneer.avsoft (etc), on my android 7 tablet, there is a map ' files' but without files.
tbc, Ptr
I'm not so advanced in this matter, but up to Android Version it's about folder /data/data/jp.pioneer... (and so on). You can't access it without root. Maybe you can do that via TWRP on Android 7 on later version it's an issue in easy way. Other solution is to use Magisk to manually copy needed files.
I'm not sure if referring to the system version different files were downloaded from Pioneer's serves. Unfortunately, I don't know.

Aiai.... after a few days of efforts my conclusion was that you need root access to your source device.
And then I re-read your solution and I saw that I overlooked the last part of point 2 of your solution....
"2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging or Root via ADB." I did allow USB debugging but I missed 'as Root or Root via ADB'
OK, it is a pity, I'm not going to root my Android 10 tablet where the working app lives. Meanwhile I learned a lot and that's always fun....
Thank you very much for your work, if I come across another solution I will report here.
Ptr
Great. You're very welcome.
Hi guys. I have problem with this Control App from Pioneer too.
On my Android 11 phone is after starting the app visible only the loading screen or a black screen and nothing happend more.
On the old tablet with Android 5 run this app, but it want to download more files from the server, but that is not possible yet beacuse of severs shutdown? (it works well two months ago).
Can you please give me a advice how to run this app on Android 11 and share the downloaded files for my Android 5 tablet.
Because of this is using of my XC-HM72 very limited.
Thank your for every advice (My devices are not rootet).

Hiya,
You won't download needed files (graphics or some scripts customized particularly for your XC- HM72) because there are no files on Pioneer's servers, anymore. If you don't have any device with fully working app you have to ask anyone who has it still working to export needed files (usually as "adb" file) for you then you just import it by a command:
adb restore exported_file_name.adb
Click to expand...

and that's all.
Nevertheless, since Android 8 I think that the folder with user data files has a different location, so mentioned method should work for Android 8 - 11 (I haven't tested it on 12). That's all what I can suggest you.

I'm not much surprised about Android 5 cause it mightn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have any other news for you. I'm not even sure if my files were suitable for the model of yours. Further steps you should do by yourself. Maybe you'll find a solution and provide it for someone else who has the same CD Receiver as yours.
I've spend a lot of time trying to run the app for my old, but still well performing XC-HM71.
Luckily I've found old Titanium Backup (playstore) backups from 2015 and 2017. I successfully restored the app and settings on my forgotten redmi note 3 pro as root and old android were needed. If anyone is interested and want to try again, both backups are attached. Older app version is 3.5.0, never is 4.1.0. I'll recommend to start with older version, then restore just the newer app without data. It worked for me. Good luck.
But I've remembered the app a bit differently. Seems to be a bit useless, same can be done with remote itself.
Its just a bit faster to add internet radio stations, as browsing on unit itself is a bit pain in the backside.
XC-HM71 is a base version, no Bluetooth, Spotify or other currently standard addons, so really the Pioneer app do not have any real advantages.
Btw, I've had no luck with adb files from @gregory_cooky.
How to control my vsx 527 with control app? Can someone please help
Hi
I need files for Pioneer XC-HM81.
Can someone please help.
Good news!
I finally managed to transfer the needed Pioneer ControlApp data from my -non rooted- tablet (Huawei M5, android 10) to my -also non rooted- telephone (Samsung Galaxy A40, Android 11), based on gregory_cooky’s procedure in post 2 of this thread.
I tried it half a year ago (see above, my post 3) and gave up.
But a renewed attempt this week, learned me that I overlooked a crucial element: both devices need to have “USB debugging enabled” to operate the adb commands from my computer successfully.
Obviously, I misinterpreted step 2 in gregory_cooky’s procedure.
After enabling ‘developers option’ on both devices, you need to go to enable USB debuging . Without that, your devices are only partly accessible from your computer and adb commands will give error messages.
In detail: go to settings, scroll down towards about tablet or info telephone, look for software and then ‘buildnumber . Tap 7 times on buildnumber. this activates developers option. Go back to settings, you can now find developers option as the last point under settings. Tap developers option, enable it, look then for USB debugging and enable it. Do this on both devices.
Connect your source device (=device with a working ControlApp) to your computer. Open a terminal screen on your computer and type adb devices.

Then proceed as described by gregory_cooky in post 2.
Be sure to have your source files (ControlApp apk and data) in the root of your home directory, otherwise adb cannot find it. Be aware this type of commands is capital sensitive, so if you ask for Pioneer.adb but the name of the file is pioneer.adb the computer comes with No such file or directory.
I use the ControlApp for my Pioneer MCS-FS232, which I can now easily operate from my arm chair. Volume, switch from CD to Aux or FM, etc.

It appears ControlApp has finally given up.
Looking if anyone has perhaps a copy of the source files.
ControlApp downloads the files from the following URL: http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/Wr5Ch9makajA/smartphone_app/common/controlapp/sma/SmaHtml_14.zip
Note that this is a HTTP URL, so can easily be faked for the device, however need the ZIP. Used to have it, now it's gone
hello,
would anyone have a working adb for Pioneer X-HM72 please?
