Hey guys, IDK if youve seen this yet, but its very convenient to have when youre wanting to know if you gotta good download, or not, by checking the MD5 Check Sum
Steps
- unzip, and the .exe will be there.
- Replace "paste its original md5 value to verify" at the bottom with the MD5 numbers, this obviously must be provided. Just Copy n' Paste.
- At the top choose your download you wanna check, by clicking "Browse"
- Once it loads up, click verify and bam.
This process, i think needs to be done more regularly, but thats just me.
Happy Rooting

That is quite nice. Might I recommend you try HashTab as well? It embeds a tab in the file properties (When you right click, then go to properties) for hash values of the file at hand. Computes MP5, CRC32, and SHA-1 by default, with additional support for several other hashes through the settings link in the tab itself, and also includes a text box which you can paste an MP5 tag into for verificaiton.

Hi,
I just read this on your site:
"26. Add Your Own Album Art to Music Folders
Make sure the image you wish to use is 256x256 pixels, 96dpi and save it to your PC. Rename the image to the following format: ~hTC_Album Name.vin. Please note that the change refers also to the file extension as it will now become a vin file. Copy this file to the folder of your specific album on your Storage Card. Example: If the album is called Abba Gold, then your vin file will be ~hTC_Abba Gold.vin."
Well. This might be a stupid question, but how do I do this?? When I rename the file to ~hTC_nameofthetrack.vin it stays an .JPG file.. and when I download it and use "save as" I can only choose between saving it as an .JPG or an .BMP file.. even when I just try saving it as ~hTC_filename.vin it becomes an .JPG with .vin at the end of the trackname..
I would really like to know and this probably is an easy answer so I hope someone can help me with this
are you renaming from the computer or the phone?
if you are doing it via the computer make sure that you have shown filename extensions enabled or it will not change the type of file
and how do I enable that?
[windows helpdesk mode]
Open explorer, goto tools, Folder options
Select the view tab
Under files and folders unselect following:
hide extensions for known file types
[/windows helpdesk mode]
I couldn't get this working no matter what I tried, gave up in the end....
even once the files were renamed and everything, the images wouldn't show....
this is gonna sounds stupid but i followed every step but i cant seem to get the file to be only ApplyRecovery.bat, thats how i named the files but it does only open notepad....like if it was reading ApplyRecovery.bat.txt
Step 5: create a text file using notepad, called ApplyRecovery.bat. Make sure it is not named "ApplyRecovery.bat.txt" . It will contain the following lines (copy/paste is fine)
i did it finally
For future reference, it might help others if you explained how you solved your problem. For example, given this issue where the file is opening in notepad, one of the following possibilities is apparent:
1. When saving the file, you did not enclose the file name in quotes, e.g. "ApplyRecovery.bat". Enclosing the file name in quotes overrides the automatic generation of extensions and saves the file exactly as you wish.
2. Batch files, files ending in .bat, were set to open in notepad instead of being ran when double-clicked. This would by necessity require you to delete the file association before the batch file would work.
Have you ever installed a new rom, but completely forgot which notification sound you were using? I have a nandroid backup of the old rom, but really don't want to completely restore the rom just to figure out which sound I was using. Android stores this in a database, and I'll show you how to access that database. In hindsight, it may just be easier to restore the nandroid backup. But, this is how to do it using a nandroid backup.
I'll be using Ubuntu 12.04 to do this. I believe it can be done with Windows as well, though the commands and programs will differ. Again, this assumes that you don't remember what the filename was. If you do, you can just skip to step 7.
1. Copy your nandroid backup files to your computer. Specifically, the "data.ext4.tar" and any "data.ext4.tar.a", "data.ext4.tar.b", etc. files.
2. The files need to be combined together. Use the command "cat data.ext4.tar data.ext4.tar.a data.ext4.tar.b > data-combined.tar" or similar for your filenames. It combines all of your data.ext4.tar files into one new file, data-combined.tar. This should give you a working tar file. I got this step from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194171.
3. Extract the data-combined tar file. If you're a super-cool linux hacker, you probably know some terminal command to do this, like tar -randomLettersHere (xzvf?). I just right clicked the tar file and selected "Extract Here".
4. Navigate to "./data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" and open the file. I didn't have any program to read SQL databases, so I let Ubuntu installed the recommended one for me, called "Sqliteman".
5. Using the list on the left, go under Tables-System. You should see the contents of that table, which look like an excel spreadsheet. The row (or tuple) we're looking for has the field "name" equal to "ringtone" or "notification_sound", depending on which file you're trying to locate. You can scroll through the rows and look for those rows, or you can enter an SQL command in the top box and hit the green arrow to run it and filter just the ones we want. Try this-
Code:
select *
from system
where name='notification_sound' or name='ringtone';
This pulls up all the rows where "name" is exactly equal to either of those strings. You can also search for anything that contains those strings by using this syntax-
Code:
select *
from system
where name like '%notification%';
If you're looking for your ringtone, try a query that just contains "ringtone", like this-
Code:
select *
from system
where name like '%ringtone%';
(That pulled up the actual file for me under the name "ringtone_CONSTANT_PATH")
If you're using a different rom than that I was (or a different device), you might need to tweak what you look for. Try changing the strings you search for. What we're looking for is for the entry where "value" equals something like "content://media/internal/audio/media/238". It might have the word 'internal' instead of 'external'. Note that number at the end, which is some kind of media ID number.
6. Now, open the SQL file "./data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db" or "./data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/internal.db" depending on whether the value in step 5 had the word internal or external. Find the row where "_id" equals the number at the end of your "value" string in step 5. You can scroll through the "files" table, or enter a query like this-
Code:
select *
from files
where _id='238';
The field "_data" should show the path for your file. For me, it was "/system/media/audio/notifications/S_Dew_drops.ogg". Oh, how I love you, Touchwiz...
7. Now you know where the file is. If your new rom doesn't have that ringtone/notification sound any more, you can probably retrieve it from two places. First, check the rom installation zip file (probably the easiest way) if it was an included sound. Open the installation zip file, and look in the path you found in step 6. The second way is to go through your Nandroid backup. Follow steps 1-3, but copy, combine, and extract your system.ext4.tar file(s). Again, just look in the same path from step 6, and it should be there. These paths are typically "/system/media/audio/notifications/" and "/system/media/audio/ringtones".
Enjoy your old, familiar sound again!
1) The SHA1-Digest in the signature is based on the compressed or uncompressed files inside the apk?
2) If it is based on the uncompressed files, is it possible to decompress and recompress with 7-zip utility (always in the zip format) and then zipalign without break the signature?
3) Is there an online service or an application to verify that the signature match the files?
Method 1 in the given thread will not break signature of app
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-t4080131
2nd method usually make backed-up apps non-installable and not sure about signature preservation.
Best way to check signature of an apk is to check its certificate's hash and compare it with original,
MiXplorer is best choice for it, Just tap on any apk in MiXplorer then goto certificate and then at bottom tap at checksum, Here you will get a number of hashes, take any one and compare it??
I have an extension that is no longer available on the Chrome store. I'd like to be able to back it up on my Chromebook and restore it, since I think it will not be restored after I update the Chrome OS (it will presumably fetch the available extensions from the store).
My Chromebook is in developer mode. So I wonder can it be done from the shell?
I tried enabling developer mode in chrome://extensions, but pack extension does not allow me to see any system root directory, and I have the additional challenge of figuring out which extension it is in /home/chronos/user/Extensions/.
I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help with this would be really appreciated!

Can you see the ID of the extension at the very bottom of its listing in chrome://extensions/? If you can.... I just tested out the following with an extension chosen at random, and it worked fine for me, although I suppose it may depend on the extension...
Copied the ID of the extension (at the very bottom of its listing in chrome://extensions/), then:
sudo su
find / -iname theidoftheextension
cp -a -r /home/chronos/user/Extensions/theidoftheextension /media/removable/UNTITLED/
Back in chrome://extensions/
Clicked Packed extension > chose the folder above the one containing manifest (in my case /media/removable/UNTITLED/theidoftheextension/0.1.2_0/)
Clicked Pack extension
Opened /media/removable/UNTITLED/theidoftheextension/ in file browser
Dragged the newly-created packed extension /media/removable/UNTITLED/theidoftheextension/0.1.2_0.crx over chrome://extensions/
It installed! Actually I tested it three times, resulting in three copies of the extension. Having said that, if you only have one copy of the extension, perhaps it would be better to test the .crx out on another copy of Chrome first, in case it somehow overwrites/breaks the copy you have installed.

Thank you, Nolirum!
I did as you suggested, and installed Chromium in Crouton to test it. I get the error "This can only be added from the Chrome Web Store" when I try dragging in the .crx.
When I try 'Load unpacked extension' option in chrome://extensions I get the following error:
Failed to load extension from: /Volumes/KINGSTON/theidoftheextension/5.0_0
Cannot load extension with file or directory name _metadata. Filenames starting with "_" are reserved for use by the system.

I saw this on Stackoverflow about the error. I deleted the leading underscore from metadata folder and it works! Yay!!
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...ebstore-throws-error-package-is-invalid-detai
No problem!
Out of interest, when you dragged the .crx onto Chromium, and got the error, was that with dragging it directly into the list of extensions in the chrome://extensions/ window (where you see the icons, details, extension IDs etc)? Just wondering, as I get that error if dragging a .crx on to the browser address bar or on a webpage, but not if I drag it into the extensions list directly.
In any case, interesting info about the metadata folder nonetheless. I remember having to do the same (deleting the underscore) for some extension I was trying to edit. It's reassuring to to read that _metadata is just Web store hashes, and that modifying it shouldn't affect functionality.

Yes, I was dragging into the extensions list. When I try it a little popup says something like "drop to install" then the error.
Interesting. I don't get that error (tried on Chromium, too). Perhaps it depends on the extension. Thanks for checking.
