I ran two big reports to look at in battery historian and I can't find the output file path. I've done searching for "but" and "bug report" in mixplorer, but I've been unsuccessful.
Anyone?

That is indeed where I was looking to no avail. I started looking around in the mixplorer settings. There is an option in sertings--> more sertings--> allow root. I had to check this. Mixplorer had already been granted root permissions. Checking this box was like the equivalent to "show hidden folders" option on windows it seems. A bunch of directories appeared. The file path on my p7p is:
/data/user_de/0/com.android.shell/files/bugreports
Thanks man. I hope this helps others with p7p phones.

I have done a considerable amount of searching but can't seem to find it. Everywhere I look all i find is information telling me that it was never released for download.
Does anyone here have a cab file for WMP 10? I am using titanium 2 and it does not have it preloaded on it.
Also, I am looking for an automatic network configuration tool also if anyone knows where to find that as well.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

Are you sure you don't have WM10 already installed?
Here's what you're looking for to setup your T-Mobile UK settings.
Good luck!

You're welcome. So, do you even see an icon for "Windows Media" in your Programs menu? Or do you at least have WMPlayer in your Windows folder?

no it isnt there. audio files look like a dll file is supposed to like and if it werent for audio manager, i wouldnt be able have mp3 ringtones.
Dan if you are running TNT v5 then it has wm 10 installed already.
check your device using file explorer/ my device/ windows/ scroll all way to the bottom you will see the wmplayer icon. i opened it and checked the about in menu and it is wm 10
You're absolutey correct about that. However, at the time I created this thread I was giving Titanium 2 a try and that did not have WMP10 installed.

Yea i dont think WMP is there in Ti2.
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.

Ah yes, I did find another thread in the (G1) Dream forum with steps on how to do this. Thanks for the reply.
Ad-less browsing.
All you have to do is put it in the /system/etc/ folder.

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.
Apologies in advance if I am posting in the wrong section.
I've been talking to some people over on the CM forums about this and we haven't found an answer yet.
If you look in my screenshot, right below the alarm, my name is on my lockscreen. This was put here using an old setting on CyanogenMod 6.1.2 on my HTC Evo 4g. You did this on CM6 by going to Settings > Location & Security. Then there was a checkbox to "Show Custom Message". You then put in text!
Does anyone know which file stores this value on CM7/Android 2.3? I've pulled the eri.xml file from my phone and I can edit my carrier text but I have not been able to find my name. I like being able to edit that text and I wanted to update it to something new but the settings no longer exist under CM7. Thanks for looking!
I have found a ton of utils for editing carrier text but nothing for the text pointed to in the red arrow.

Not the answer you are looking for here but wouldnt it be easier and less annoying and stressful to just flash back to the rom where you could change it, change it to what you want and then flash back ?
that is if i am understanding you correctly and your name shows up now of course with the new rom...
i would think if you changed your name to whatever you wanted then you could go back to the new rom and it would appear the way you want it.
I'm going to give that a try tomorrow. Not sure if it sticks through an upgrade or not but worth a try. Im just curious at this point what confit file it is. Wish there was a filemon or similar tool for Android. Although, if can dump all the files off the phone before and after I should be able to do comparisons....hrm. Project for tomorrow.
OK, finally took the time to work on this a little further.
I reflashed CM6, booted and confirmed there was no lockscreen text. Took a nandroid and copied off the system.img
I then put a lockscreen text in - used a custom phrase that would not be in any of the config files normally. Rebooted, took a nandroid and copied off this system.img.
Extracted both system.img files using unyaffs.
I did a binary and CRC comparison off all the files, no differences. So apparently this setting is stored somewhere else. Hrm......
AHA. Found the little bugger finally.
Had to pull the data.img and extract that. The setting is located in
/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
lock_screen_custom_msgTESTTEXT
lock_screen_show_custome_msg1
These are the two options that I found. So, now to see if I can safely edit that DB file and modify the text on CM7. I already have the text on my screen so the data fields are in the DB file already so I suspect I can just edit that file and then replace it on my phone.
Hm. Editing is no good. Blew away all my settings and I not longer can enable any lockscreen.
Hah. Got it! Using ADB works. Instructions:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
.tables (you should see a secure table listed)
.header on
.mode column
select * from secure;
Now scroll through the results. Find the "lock_screen_custom_m" item under name. Note the ID number to the left. Write the ID number down.
update secure set value='your custom message here' where _ID=NN;
NN is the ID number you wrote down.
.quit
Reboot your phone.
There you go, just in case anyone else is interested.

Nice find!
I used a derivative of your method to reset the alarm notification on the GB lockscreen when the buggy POS alarm app G-Alarm left it there after removing all the alarms and uninstalling it.
That one is in system instead of secure, and it can be set to a blank string per http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html#NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED to clear it
Neat! Glad it could help someone out.

Yup, much appreciated! Also great to learn how to edit databases on Android.
Also, I didn't have a USB cable so I did it with the terminal editor. For convenience (i.e. having a real keyboard) I used Webkey for PC access to my phone and its built-in terminal editor to make the changes.
That sounds painful!
I don't know where I read the guide, but definitely use ADB. With ADB you can basically connect to the shell on your phone from your PC through a command prompt. Makes doing this sort of thing MUCH easier!

Did you miss the part where I didn't have a USB cable?
I was just wondering if the pre-installed file manager is actually capable of moving files around to different folders? Lol I've tried playing around with it but can't actually seem to find a way to do it. I feel stupid even asking the question Haha I know I can just install one from the Play Store but I just wanna be sure before I do that

1) Check the box beside the file you want to copy.
2) Go to the folder you want to copy to.
3) Click the dots (menu) on the bottom left of the app.
4) 'Copy selection here'.
You're done. :thumbup:

THANK YOU SO MUCH :laugh:
My phone came with two file managers but only one has this file. It's spelled incorrectly and 6 other folders were modified at the exact same date/time as this one - except they're empty. There's no option for hidden files in the so so lame file manager, either. Nothing in Google search or here, either. I'm wondering if it's a virus since it's so obviously a typo. Thanks!

It is a system app, not a virus(technically, viruses do not exist in android, there is only malware and adware or worms that you mistakenly give permission to access to your device, such as clicking links with malicious code, opening photos that have malicious code, answring texts that have malicious code,etc.., that is why it is essential to be completely aware of what you are clicking on.
Root is required in order for you to view the contents of what is in your system files/folders. Preferably root and a file manager that has a "root explorer" feature.
