Since apparently BN is still changing framework.jar, I'm making a thread to allow separate updates/downloads. framework.jar for 1.0.0 is already in market hack/autonooter/autoconfig
1.0.0 - http://www.mediafire.com/?1wb78ollpb1bd78
1.0.1 - http://www.mediafire.com/?37fugab7xo8s3j3
This framework.jar helps you get an Android ID when you first run the Market. You can replace it with the stock version once your market is working if you want, but leaving it shouldn't cause any issues either.
Um, this thread is remarkably empty.
Thank you for your work!
Not having to generate ID's manually is better than awesome ...
What did you have to change in Framework.jar I know your hacked version works. I'd just like to understand why.

Google requests a valid phone ID and phone type when assigning an Android ID. Tablets tend to have neither, so Google doesn't assign an ID. It spoofs a valid phone type and ID so that Google is happy and will send you back an ID.

Thanks. That makes sense now.
Can somebody post the stock version of either of the two files from the OP? I'm trying to get this working on the eLocity tab and, since I'm no developer, I need to compare the two files to see what Clockworx change... and therefore, what I should try changing in our framework.
Thanks!

If you want to post your framework.jar, it would probably be faster.

Here it is if you want to take a shot.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dd9zif5h89ve7mz
I would back up your stock one and ensure you can restore it, just in case.
This might not be the place or already covered, but is it possible to make the big button in the notification bar not pop up the B&N Soft Buttons? I tend to hit that far too often.
Personally if it was gone, or did nothing, I'd be happy. I can launch the apps from ADW myself, they're all individual apps anyway.

clockworx,
can i replace framework.jar from slide_update.zip (BN 1.0.1) with yours
and also what i said in your other thread (supernooter) and then flash the ereader.
I am asking too many questions as i dont want to end up with an over sized 7" ice scraper...
I'm in the same spot as JeepFreak, but mine's a Cruz Reader.
If i upload the framework.jar can you mod it?
P.S. its Eclair-2.0 otherwise i'd try and use an existing copy off the web.

Are you using a custom firmware for it? I could have sworn someone had already done it for the CR over at Slatedroid. If not, feel free to upload and link.

We actually ended up getting the eLocity going without using the modified framework.jar.

nope, stock firmware, I've been trying to re-create the custom firmware that Velocity Micro made for it, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what settings they used for the kernel config. I'd like to eventually roll my own firmware image and update the device to either Éclair-2.1 or Froyo-2.2, but that will be awhile.
Until just now I'd never heard of Slatedroid, so i wouldn't know if anyone has succeeded over there or not. I've tried searching using Yahoo, Google and others to no avail, so...
here's the framework.jar, pulled from the most recent firmware update
(version 091257)
'mediafire'/?c76hrb1awmtc4mq
sorry 'bout the link being butchered, I'm a new user and it won't let me post links.
thanks in advance
Edit:I found the post at Slatedroid, but he's using a modded Cruz 102/103 Tablet firmware with Éclair-2.1, and until I get my own rom cooked, I'm going to try and stay as 'stock' as possible. besides, i don't know if the Cruz 103 firmware will work on the reader.
On another note, would it be possible to pre-mod the file in question if you were building from source?
and if so, what modifications would need to be made?

I am working with others in another thread to determine why nootering the NC removes the access to B&N instore features.
We have been trying changes to the build.prop file but this does not seem to help. My thought is that something is changed in the framework.jar file that when instore B&N checks to see if the device is a NC. Is this a plausible thought? Can you share what lines in the hacked framework.jar are different that the stock NC framework.jar? Would it be possible to change these lines back to stock after nootering to gain access to the instore features?
Also, could changes in framework.jar also expalin why the market on NC does not have access to some apps?

Anything is possible since we don't know what they're doing, but it seems unlikely BN would check phone type and phone ID when on a regular nook they probably both return "invalid". Before you go through the trouble of investigating deeper, I suggest taking the engineering approach and change one variable: push back a stock framework.jar and see if the store works. If it does, then it's the framework.jar. If it doesn't, then it's something else.

No, that would be the fingerprint needed in build.prop, which I thought had already been solved and was part of Autonooter.

Thanks for the idea! Do you have or know where to find a stock framework.jar?
As for the fingerprint issue, we have tried returning the rooted NC fingerprint back to the stock fingerprint with no success. When replicating the stock build.prop file on a rooted NC, instore features still do not work and some apps are still not available in the market.
I thought it might be cool if we could set the native Sense updater (In Settings>System Updates) to check for/download/install updates to roms. It would have to be modified for each rom, but probably not that hard. I did a little digging in Settings.apk, but couldn't find anything, so I started looking in Updater.apk. That is where the gold is. Everything that has to do with FOTA, System updates, anything about that is in there. On a side note, there is a smali file called PesterActivity.smali that we may be able to modify so that we don't get the notifications. Anyway, I just thought I would point the idea out so that if anyone else wants to start on it we can get it done quicker.
correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't the updater check the digital signature on the file before a flash?

I think we could set it not to. Everything that happens inside an update can be tweaked from that app I believe.
even if we did though it couldnt give S-off could it?
This is (I assume) an idea for future use. Hope I'm not putting words in OP's mouth.

How hard is it for a Dev to put their Roms there? Does Koush charge for that?
Just seems a bit easier to use an already developed solution than to re-invent the wheel. Of course if its cost prohibitive, that's another story.

I personally don't use Rom manager, as I feel that you have more control ovrer the flashing. I have also heard stories of rom manager bricking your phone, and never felt like risking it.

the biggest problem. with rom manager in my opinion.. is that it's connected only to cwr, which sucks.

Thats actually a good idea. I never thoguht of that! I am going to look into it.
In my Optimus and Evo 3D ROMS I have a custom App called ROM Updater. It does exactly what you are talking about but also includes themes, ringtones, etc. And its all stored on my server and downloads to SD card then flashes.
But how cool would it be to just do updates using the HTC Built in app? I like this idea...
Here are the challanges that I see...
1. We need to to be able to get the file from the server that it parses to verify if the current version is correct. Not sure how hard that would be. We would not only need to get it but hope its in json or xml or some other human readable form so we can decipher and rebuild it.
2. Redirection to a third party server. Can it be done? I assume so. I know how to stop it from checking by nuerting the build prop so why not use the same lines to direct to another server?
Have you decompiled the APK and looked at strings.xml? Any info in there?

I wont go into my ROM Manager rant like I always do... But I will just say this to answer your questions...
1. It cost nothing to put your ROM in ROM Manager
2. For a user to be able to download your submitted ROM they have to pay Koush. To me... That is so not cool he is taking cash for other Dev's ROMS. I am not fan of that.
I had one of my ROMS in ROM Manager and I was not happy to see it there. What sent me into a rampage is that someone that liked my ROM posted it in ROM manager without my permission. He accepts work from anyone with no verifiection of the author (Security Issue anyone?).
Anyways.. thats a very short synapsis of my feelings of ROM Manager.

I looked into Strings.xml and couldn't find anything useful. I also looked into a few other .xmls and some smali files. I think that everything used to get the file downloaded is in the smalis. Not sure though, I'm not the best with smali. Strings just showed some user messages.

Thats it? Thats nothing at all to look through...
Here is where I would start....
First... Look at the device build prop. Thats gioing to have the URL's of the HTC Update servers.
Second... Start searching out for either....
a) the name of those servers in the smali code
b) any strings like ".xml", ".json", "http://", "https://", ".zip" anything that would make sense (no pun).
This is just what I would do.

Now what you want to do is start searching the smali copde for similiar stings that are in the buildprop.
See, from my understanding, the updater looks at those build prop strings to determine where to look for and download updates.
I am assuming you have the APK decompiled?
I dont know much about Mac, a little about Ubunut but a lot about Win7.
I use Notepadd++ on Win 7 to edit smali...
What I would do next is load up the smali folder in notepadd ++. Easiest way to do this is go to the smali folder and do a search for *.smali.... when it finds them all, selct them all and choose open in Notepad++
I can get about 150 to 200 smali files open in N++ before it crashes, hehehehe
From there Notepad++ can search across all open files. I would start searching out those strings I noted and the strings in the build prop. Not sure what you will find if anything but it would be interesting to see. If you do it post any pertinent results and the file you found it in.
I'll give it a shot to but dont get out of work for another couple hours and I work 50+ hours a week for the next two weeks so time is limited but I want to see what we can figure out.

im pretty sure i figured it out, you need to install the devices framework that the app came from then decompile the app and then the dependancies it requires will have FALSE removed!

Its not like its just a diary from samsung... Hard to read through because your text view seems to be showing line feeds as an undisplayable characters, that box thing, whatever you want to call it.
But yeah that is one of your system files, that is data the OS uses. If you change it it will most likely just break what every thing you change from being specific code/information to random gibberish.
Just looked up the file... Thats not just a plain text file that is interpreted by the OS. I think you would have to get the source code to make changes then compile your own version.
Thanks. Like I stated above, its been a long time since ive coded (BASIC) and coding and development has come a long way since then

Don't just open I with 'generic editor' and modify it and expect your device to boot properly. Use a GOOD hex editor from market and modify the values to retain proper structure or you'll regret it. You can be brave and add props not in use BUT they must present in the device for that to work. You can accomplish a lot in that file though or soft brick your device.
Yeah, I wouldn't just edit a piece of code just for the sake of editing code. Might mess your phone up.
Hello,
I was recently given a Chromebook to use at my school. It comes preloaded with a few WiFi passwords in and around the school so people can use the Chromebooks whenever.
However, my school has been almost a COMPLETE dead zone for my phone. I use WhatsApp to contact my friends and family, and if something urgent pops up, I need to know.
I was wondering how I could view the WiFi passwords stored in the Chromebook (Dell 11-inch)
Thank you for any contribution or effort.
I am also wondering how to do this! any updates?
As far as I know its not possible. The Chromebooks are normally provisioned with the Google Admin Console and push a cert containing the network settings.
Install Linux and find out best try
I've heard passwords are stored ROT13 in something like /yourusername/shill/shill.profile, but I cannot get into developer mode and cannot confirm.
I found out how, PM me for details.

I spent a good deal of time looking at dumps from it. I found network SSIDs, but couldn't find passwords. Maybe you could take a look as well?
How do you do this? In the files app, or crosh? I'm not to sure, I have a school chromebook as well and i'm not to shabby with them lol. Anyway please let me know ASAP how to access chrome://policy, thank you.

Dunno if this thread is still alive, but I got stuck somewhere around the penultimate instruction, in the below link.
