Is there an android version of QuickGPS? The internal GPS takes ages to get a lock without it!
Do you have the file /system/etc/gps.conf?
The file must contain the following content:
Code:
NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
No I don't, I don't have a system file related to my android setup. How would I update that gps.conf file to get the latest satellite positions?
Install "File Manager" and "Text Edit" (both are free from the market), then open "File Manager", go to "My Phone", (press Ok on warning), the go to /system, /etc and touch on "gps.conf", Open as, Text, and select "Text Edit".
Edit and use your country direction (pool.ntp.org), save and thats all.
Yes, and after the change you must reboot your phone.
The first time you need a internet connection to get the recent .bin file and NTP data.

this worked for me and i used us.pool.ntp.org for usa. the gps lock was much quicker, thank you
I tried this and got
Problem saving.
Possible causes:
- Invalid filename
- Out of disk space
Then it cleared the file

I used adb instead
Code:
adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf
then go into your tools folder of adb, locate the file, edit it with the correct ntp settings and push it back by
Code:
adb push gps.conf /system/etc
then restart phone

i did not for for me at first. you need to use one of the following servers.
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org

EDIT 2:

Came back on fine second time... tried to get a GPS Fix inside the house (was hoping for a miracle after applying these settings .. it did not get a lock in there.. moved outside the house in open... it was not able to get any fix at all..
Came back in.. checked the gps.conf file and found out that it is all empty..
Did type the whole thing again (BTW m using ASTRO file manager for both browsing to files and editing them).. saved and re-opened again to check but it again was empty..
I notieced that the attributes for this file say --rx, which i guess means, i as a user does not have write rights on this.
Tried using the adb but have no clue how to use it...
Can anyone help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct me if needed here.
As long as your file exists and there is any NTP server specified then all good. An australia NTP (time) server will give the same time as a European time server.
What is the special requirement to change to the local time server?
Thanks

They have a much faster responsetime because they are in your country.
Try it:
ping europe.pool.ntp.org
ping au.pool.ntp.org

However in relation to getting a quicker signal lock the difference maybe a second total. Eg the rewards from editing the file are going to be minimal??
I am also noticing 1-2 minute signal lock times where i windows its in 5 seconds sort of leagues.
great tip, my gps connects a lot faster now.

While playing (a bit too much), I must have deleted the password setup icon/file from settings and cannot change or disable the password screen. Anyone knows what the file name is and can post it here or email me the file. I know the password and can get in but I really don't need it and would like to disable it.
The shortcut is exactly like this:
"ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1"

Thanks ezzkht, but how do I create the shortcut?
Try to copy any shortcut from \windows\start menu\programs\
and paste it to the location you want, rename it & edit it using Total Commander (right-click on it & choose Properties, then go to Shortcut tab and change the TARGET parameter to "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1" without quotes.
The icon will automatically change to the password icon

Sorry ezzkht, I did exactly what you said but it did not work. Tried with and without quotes, tried 0 instead of 1 but the icon never changes to the password icon just an executable icon but nothing happens when I click on it.
OH yes you are right!! sorry!
Ok here's the shortcut, I just get it from my device..
I opened it with a HEX editor & found the following line inside it:
51#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-6000
plz tell me if it worked with you
Hi ezzkht, I tried but this also does not seem to work.
I checked the registery and their is a mention of a Password.cpl in the Windows directory which is not in mine. I installed logologin and picturepassword and have recently removed them, don't know if they might have also removed this file. It may be the the problem, do you have this file.
Neither me, I don't have password.cpl file in \windows directory!!
I have cplmain.cpl only!
I noticed that the password link points to cplmain.cpl with a parameter of : password.cpl
I guess that cplmain.cpl is a composite file which contains alot of programs, one of them is the password program!
Do u have the cplmain.cpl in windows directory??

You got that right, finally got all the programs and the look I want. I am going to do a backup via Activsync and a clone backup tonight at home then if all else fails I will do a HR, copy any missing files from the windows directory and reinstall my backups.
Seems a great idea :wink:
Compare the two WINDOWS directories, and copy only the missing files..
Good luck dude
After some tests, I've seen that the unique way to use an alternative program to view SMSes, even from "All messages" on Manila2D, is to replace tmail.exe... but after that some things no more work well, such email, activesync, etc.
I decided then to build a little HiJack to put over the original tmail.exe, that when we try to view SMSes it executes a link, while for ohter operations starts the original one.
tmail_hijack_1_0_0_0
Use:
1. make a copy of \windows\tmail.exe in \windows\tmailm.exe
2. overwrite the old tmail.exe with the new one
3. create in the \windows directory a link to the program we want to use for the SMSes view, and name it tmailsms.lnk
if everythink is right, when you press on "All messages" the new program will open up, while all the rest remains as is

You are right... I hope that somebody find a way do do it ... I created a copy by extracting it from the ROM image with Ervius kitchen (or any other kitchen able to make a dump)
Try closing tmail.exe using a Task manager before overwriting it with Resco Explorer or total Commander.

Sorry, have not enought time lately... to replace tmail.exe you have to rename it to whatever you want, and only after reboot you can delete the renamed copy... but place the new tmail.exe right after you renamed the old one, BEFORE reboot the device, otherwise a new protected copy of the old one comes out.

No, its not the same: vjbrisk starts the program you linked, stop. This starts the program you linked OR the old one, based on the parameters it receives.
But, there are some situations on reboot that starts tmail with the same parameter (-service "SMS") and load the linked program on reboot (unwanted) but I have no time to check if its solvable.

Hey mate I cannot rename mine for some reason, it is checked as in rom in Total Commander and if I try rename it its either access denied or tmail.exe will just revert back straight after, does anyone know how I can remove this from a ROM or make it change its name as I have tried everything bar the latter? Thanks!

Okay I managed to resolve my problem, if anybody is wondering how, get Total commander and rename Tmail.exe (even if the file doesn't rename) get the Vijay program (this Tmail didn't work due to not being able to get the name changed) then drag the Vijay program into the Windows folder. From there rename it to tmail.exe (so know you have two) then reset the device. From there then edit the .lnk's and you now have SMS chat for your SMS (and messaging which this program can fix if anybody can change it).
since I can not post directly in the discussion, I have to open a separate thread.

this is the problem?? I've Stock ROM 2.1update1 with firmware 2.1.1.A.06
then, I have to create that file and copy it into /system/etc/permissions with rootexplorer...
now I try this...and you know I do!
EDIT: NOT WORKING...I have create that file (copy and paste the code in the frame in a txt file, and renamed android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml) then I've paste it into /system/etc/permissions and associated it permission rw-r-r
rebooted and not working...single touch.
yet launched from the console does the dual touch working in some applications ... why?
EDIT 2: Please do not send me to hell, but by creating the file and rebooting, if I launch "insmod" from the console, dual touch works in all apps!
How is it possible, however, that the changes to make it start with phone not work?
I want to work "even" when I restart the phone!
Did you try this version?

With this script you can enable and disable a lot of things ... I can just see if it works ...and let you know ...
I wanted to ask, but what is JIT? what does it do?
thank you in advance for availability ..
EDIT: Works!!! without launching the script, I went just to see how the command was written in the file "hw_config.sh" ...
I corrected, and after restarting, it works!
I was wrong because we put the quotes, but no need to write.
The correct lines of code to be included in the file "hw_config.sh" (at bottom) are:
# load multi touch driver
insmod /system/lib/modules/cy8ctma300_ser.ko
sleep 1
After you have copied into system/lib/modules "cy8ctma300_ser.ko" , mounted it as rw-rr , and edit the file "build.prop" as indicated in the post.
works!!!
thanks!!!!
A quick question. How does one disable the CD ROM pop-up that appears when connecting the phone? I tried using the same code as on the original Incredible (##7764726), and while it does take me to the same feature editor and I can select CD ROM option and do "disable", it reverts to "enabled" immediately.
Thanks in advance!
PS If anyone knows how to move apps onto an external SD Card?

Don't have the phone in front of me right now, but i believe you navigate to \system\etc and cdrom.iso is in there, just delete it, or rename it (your choice).
If you don't have an app like rootexplorer you can also do it in TWRP's file manager. Just make sure you mount "system" first or you wont see the folder.

you go to system/etc/ and remove (or re-name to .bak) CDROM.ISO

I MADE THIS THREAD A FEW MONTHS AGO, DIDN'T GET THE ANSWER!! PLEASE HELP!
So, my brother backed up my Samsung Galaxy S4 on his laptop about 3 years ago. Can't remember the program used. He gave me the backup file recently. It's a .bak file which is 1.4GB.
(I screenshotted the file name and attached it here titled " FILE BACKUP TITLE.PNG")
I edited the file, to a .exe. (eg “Samsung SM-G350E_20191001_103009.bak” delete the bak and write exe after the dot and press enter.) That way I can access everything through winrar. However all of the files are encrypted! We have no idea what the password is, what shall I do! (Attached the "enter password" screen in winrar titled " RAR.PNG")
It has 1000's of photos from 2014-2017, I have no idea on what to do. I've checked out brute forcing, but I wasn't sure how to do it.
Thanks.
Here is two passwords mentioned that you could try... or use as base...
https://forum.level1techs.com/t/cracking-a-passworded-bak-samsung-backup/111141/23

Try to convert the password protected .RAR-file into a .ZIP-file which you then can easily open without any password protected.

I'm not sure how to do that. Everytime I click on the file, it forces me to enter a password.
Are you sure that would work? It's not a rar file though. It's an application now, because I renamed it from .bak to .exe.
Thanks!!
(Attached screenshot of the standard file (the BAK file), then the edited one which opens through winrar (the application). Won't upload for some reason, (in the original post).
So basically, the file is a ".BAK" file, then same file was renamed to be an "application" file.

Okay, it's a zip. If older encryption is used then one known file could be used to decrypt it. Was it Advanced something that had that option??
Did that Wondershare Tunesgo ring any bell??
One could try use it again, mayby an old version and see if the files saved are in same order, etc...

It was advanced password recoveries from elcomsoft, but there are free tools for this known plaintext attack too. https://www.google.com/search?q=known+plaintext+attack+zip
Quite many variables that must match for it to work, but then again, only 12 known bytes is enough, of which at least 8 bytes need to be continuous, so only part of the known plaintext file is needed...
To see if it's even possible open it with 7-zip and see the encryption method.
It should be "zipcrypto deflate/store". Maybe also rar shows it....
If it looks like wondershare file, then using that password (that didn't work) as base could work. At least it would not take much time check numbers from 0-10000+++.

It was advanced password recoveries from elcomsoft, but there are free tools for this known plaintext attack too. https://www.google.com/search?q=known+plaintext+attack+zip
Quite many variables that must match for it to work, but then again, only 12 known bytes is enough, of which at least 8 bytes need to be continuous, so only part of the known plaintext file is needed...

Alright I see, I think you're talking about a bruteforce attack right? Do you have a link for a proper one? So far, none of them havent even started up properly yet.
Alright I see, how do I load the file onto wondershare aswell? There doesnt seem to be a dialogue for it at all.
Thanks.

If the backup file really is RAR-formatted you can try RAR to ZIP Converter what is attached.

FORGET IT, I WAS MISTAKEN, because the backup file is proved to be ZIP-formatted.

The other guy mentioned a brute force attack, but I cant find a program download that works.
