dificulty locating themes

greetings all,
i've attempted to search this site and have read the wiki. i saw the sticky on not starting threads until exhausting other options, but i didn't find the answer to my particular question.
i installed teh Tf3d config, but none of the themes i've installed are showing up in the drop down menu under appearance. i've tried relocating them to various spots on my device and storage card, but nothing seems to work. in one tutorial, i read to creat a new folder named Internal Storage/Themes/ but my device would not allow this as a folder name and i've tried slanting the slashes in both directions.
one of the themes was a zipped file, the other was not. the zipped file was DL'd to my PC first, then i extracted the files to my device.
the TF3D config seems to be, otherwise, working fine. i've deleted a tab and rearranged the others.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

for ease of use several people have create cabs out of their themes.. simply install the cab file. look for a thread created my mobile matt (username mchapman) it has several themes and mods in it.

one of the themes i've installed is a cab. however, it does not show up. that's what the problem is.
i guess the title of thread could be a little misleading. i'm not having trouble locating themes to install - tf3d config is having trouble finding them, after i do.
ETA - i searched for the thread you mentioned, but it says "mchapman" is an invalid username
ETA - i've found this instruction to be a little confusing. if somebody could PLEASE give me a little clarity on exactly what they are telling me to do:
- Create the root of internal storage of your HTC Touch Diamond a folder named: Themes
thank you

can someone just explain this one sentence, please.
- Create the root of internal storage of your HTC Touch Diamond a folder named: Themes

Means create a folder named Themes. no sub folder (or folder inside a folder).

is this something that requires a registery editor? i ask because, i've attempted making a folder with that name in several locations then placing the file in it. it still won't show up in the drop down menu.
exactly where do create the folder named "themes"?
thanx

Maybe this will help. If you were to create this folder on your pc instead it would look like this:
C:\themes <- C:\ is your root directory.
so on your phone the folder should appear in the list with windows and program files and document and storage card. It should be \themes NOT something like \Program Files\themes

Edit exe to move picture reference ?

Hi guys,
I would need a help in editing an exe.
I'm trying to change the reference to the associed pictures. The app is supposed to be installed in the Windows folder so the reference to the pictures is hardcoded in the exe (ex: \Windows\CMP_Button_On_Mask.png).
I would like to move the app to the storage card in order to free up some memory. If I launch the exe from the Storage Card, it works but it still looks for the pictures in the Windows directory. I would like to be able to change the reference to something like "CMP_Button_On_Mask.png" instead of "\Windows\CMP_Button_On_Mask.png" to be able to put the pictures in the same folder than the application.
If I try to hexedit the exe and to manually change the reference (visible as .\.W.i.n.d.o.w.s.\.C.M.P._.B.u.t.t.o.n._.O.n._.M.a.s.k...p.n.g), it seems to corrupt it and I cannot launch it anymore on the device.
I tried to unsign/resign the file before/after editing but the result seems to be the same.
Please help !

If a moderator is around, maybe you could move my post to "Development and Hacking" it will probably get more success

Find cached files?

Hey
So i just got the Blizzard Authenticator from the Android Market, i know it's storing an xml file that has a token and some other information, i was wondering if there is any way i can find out where that file might be?
I want to find the file, because in that way i can sync the key between my computer and phone
Cheers
-Jazerix

It would most likely be in /data/data/package name/shared_prefs, where package name is the name of the apk (probably something like com.blizzard.authenticator).

Thanks for your reply, but when i check out the data folder, it's completetly empty
Is there any other way i can trace the file path?
P.S. i'm using a Nexus S with CyanogenMod
Edit: I'm able to find something on the SD Card (/sdcard/Android/data), but there is no file regarding the mobile authenticator

Ok, so i just bought Root Explorer, and the folder is no longer empty cheers, found the files ^^

Theming the phone

Hello all,
I am new here and just got my Galaxy S 4g. I am used to creating themes on the iphone and am getting very frustrated with this phone so far. I have rooted my phone, and also downloaded go launcher and a couple widgets. and a couple different file explorers.
Problems I am having is that everyone says the apps and themes are located in the phones data folder. My data folder is always blank with nothing inside. I search for the exact name or location of the apps and it says 0 files. I look at the apps running and details of them tell me they are in the /data folder, but My folder says empty. I even have the show hidden files checked.
Also I am trying to find a way to browse the phones files (not the memory card files) from my computer. I have now read over hundreds of pages of searches and can not find any answers.
Please help me.

the files that you are going to want to find are the framework-res.apk and twframework.apk.
those files are located in the system/framework/
i use android commander to push and pull files cause it is the easiest for me. you will need winrar to unzip the apk's but if you want to edit the .9.png's you will need APK manager to unpack the .9.png's and Ultimate Compiler to recompile after you edit or the png's will stretch wrong and look horrible.
There is a link on the main Android Themes page on XDA that has a wonderful write up in PDF about theming...
ill see what else i can post when i have time later to help you out.

[GUIDE] Save apps to sdcard Surface RT 8.1

Assuming that you have:​
Not modified the registry.
Surface RT with Windows 8.1
Patience (Essential)
First: Taking ownership.​Use
Code:
takeown /F "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /A /R
Second​ Let's remove the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder (As we have already taken ownership we can do this) just use "SHIFT+SUPR".
There is also a way to preserve already installed apps, this shouldn't affect but in the proccess I just deleted everything, anyway, you decide...
Code:
robocopy "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" "D:\WindowsApps" /E /COPYALL /DCOPY:DAT
and then just use "SHIFT+SPR" to delete the folder.
Assuming that your news apps folder is at "D:\WindowsApps" change it to the directory where you want to have the apps.
Third​Now let's create the symbolic link
Code:
mklink /D "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" "D:\WindowsApps"
Restart
Try to install an app and... d*mn! Error 0xd00000bb
Don't worry just right click over the new app directory, in my case "D:\WindowsApps" and choose properties... then Security tab and then Advanced now we must be sure that there is the "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" with full control if it isn't then just add it. Enable inheritance and tick the option "Replace all child permi..." then ok and wait... when it's done go to the Windows Store and click "Retry" and.... voi lá app get installed.
Be hapy :good:

I'll try to do this later. But has anyone else tried this and confirmed it works. Also, I'm not a pro, so I don't understand what "use "SHIFT+SPR" to delete the folder." means. Can you elaborate?
I just bought one of these cheap 16gb Win tablets for my son and I'm SOOOOOOO mad that I can't install apps on the SD card. What a joke.

Ok. So I created the D:\WindowsApps and did the robocopy. That took about 30-45minutes.
I tried to create the link, but it said the link was already created. So I don't know about that. Does the robocopy create a symbolic link?
PS. I discovered with some Googling 'Shift+SPR' is 'Shift Delete in Spanish.

Did you deleted original folder in C:\ yet?

I tried this procedure three times today. I was never able to delete the WindowsApps folder from my C drive. And it would continue to install my apps on the C drive. Moreover there were no security options on the WindowsApp folder on my SD card. Frustrated that I spent so much time on this and didn't get anywhere.

If there are no security options on the SD card, then the SD card isn't using NTFS. FAT obviously doesn't support ACLs, so it has no security settings.
If you can't rename or delete the original folder, then obviously you can't replace it with a symlink. You'd have two things with the same name! Robocopy doesn't move files and folders, it copies them (surprise...).

Thanks GDTD

Would this work on 8.1 with Bing? Could someone write a script, to automate the process?
Thanks!

"robocopy" Not Working?
First, i tried to post a comment but since my hotspot was a sprint isp, it denied me. Such a pain and waited a long time to finally register. I finally got around to accessing cable internet to register. But by now, I already found my answer. So here it is.
If you cannot successfully complete the robocopy (says access denied for certain files), you need to fix the permissions first.
1-Before starting these instructions; you must have "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" added in the permissions of D:\WindowsApps or wherever that folder is on D. But also be sure to hit the "Full Control" box before saving.
2- Start this tutorial and the robocopy should work.

Hi,
I cannot seem to get the permissions in the SD card folder to work permanently and folder permissions keep reverting to read-only. I have been able to install one app in the SD card folder but now I am continuing to get the error.
Any kind soul would like to explain how to permanently set the permissions to that will make sure that this works?
Thanks a lot.

You didn't mention that the SD Card must be formated as NTFS system in order to take into account correct NTFS Right access.

Does it valid only for Windows 8.1 RT version ??? I am trying on Windows X86 32Bits but doesn't works
