I read somewhere that there is a wrapper (what is a wrapper?) for Roboform which is something I really need along with eWallet to make my Tpad experience work. Does anyone know anything about the Roboform wrapper and how I can get more info on it?
From what ive read a wrapper is generally a program written to "wrap around" another program to get it to work someplace it wouldnt normally work. Ive usually seen it used in the hardware sense where a wrapper was written around the original driver so it can be used in another OS .
That being said never heard of roboform but from the name im assuming its a program to autofil out forms in a browser?If so have you checked out advanced browser? if does have the ability to autofill out forms if i remember correctly.

so i've been building computers since i was 13 so i know what i'm doing when it comes to computers. but i'll be the first to admit that i'm new to modding phones. now on to the reason for this thread... i've read through 40 or so threads and haven't found even one talking about a decent registry editor that i can run from the phone. what are some decent reg editors? where can i get them? what are the bonus's of this reg editor over that reg editor? is it possible to run it from the phone, or do i have to run it from a computer? of all the reading that i did i only found 2 regeditors even mentioned. and of those only one had a way to be able to dl it. can i please get some help on this? even if it's just a "hey stupid, why didn't you read this thread?"
have you looked at PHM REGEDIT yet? it runs directly from the phone. there are many apps that do registry edits
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
there are plenty that should do what you want, feel free to search this site or google.

As drdrewdown mentioned, you can't go wrong with PHM Regedit. It is (at least in my opinion) the best reg editor for PPC out there. Try it out, I can guarantee that you will like it!
that's 2 recomendations for phm, and nothing for anything else! that's a little dissapointing... i was hoping for some real conversations from this... oh well. phm it is! thanks for the help.
how can anyone argue with the best.
well unless im doing something increadably wrong (which i may be) i cant call it the best just yet. i attempdet to install the 0.7 version and then after it said that it was done installing my phone couldnt get on the internet any more. i tried everything to be able to get back online but the only thing that worked was a master reset. i found no new icons on my desktop or my phone. no sign at all that it was installed other than the fact that i couldnt get on the web... any help would be greatly appreciated.
can we get some info about your current setup?
of course, anything you need! i'm running windows xp, and using factory default roms on the phone. what i did the first time was copy the msi file to the desktop and installed it while the phone was connected to the comp. the final step said that it was either going to install all the programs again or remove them. i figured that it's better to have them all uninstalled and i could manually install them again to avoid any complications. after it uninstalled everything i looked for the program on the phone. it wasn't there. i soft reset the phone and it still wasn't there. i did a search for it using the search key "reg" through the memory app and nothing. i then did a search for it on the computer using the same search keyword. nothing. i then was going online to make the post that i had before and found that the internet wasn't working. i checked the weather app to see if the data connection was down. weather pulled up just fine. i uninstalled the reg editor ande tried again. no success. so i did a master reset through the software on the phone. i tried to install the reg editor again to be able to see if it was just conflicting software within the phone. no sign that the program was installed again. internet failure again. another master reset and restored the pim this time. and that's where i'm at right now. if there's anything that i missed let me know. i hope that this helps. thanks.
so what's the process that i should use to install it?
so no more help with this, huh?
I've been trying for the last couple of days to solve an issue (it's not really a problem) that has been irritating me for a while. The issue is that everytime i flash a new rom i have to spent a coupe of hours after configuring everything again. Now, I use the 6.5.x tree of NRGZ28's energy rom series, specifically the standard variant and i want to create some scripts that will automatically setup things like my exchange server, hotmail, opera user-agent string and wifi. I already have a script that is supposed to work for exchange (not tested it yet) and one for the wifi. The wifi one just doesn't work but i've just done some reading and i think i know why (More on that in a mo). So, i was wondering, has anyone tried this already? If so do you have the scripts that are needed or know where i can find them?
Now, back to the wifi script. The reason i believe it doesn't work is because it would appear that the wifi has to be on for the WLAN driver to accept the new configuration. Now when you install a new rom, as most of you will know, the wifi is turned off and those of you familiar with the energy rom series will know that xda_uc runs right after first boot allowing no time for the wifi to be enabled manually. So, i was thinking, is it possible to write some code that will enable the wifi at first boot so the configuration script will successfully modify the wifi configuration?
Thanks for your thoughts in advance guys and girls.
Have a look in the FAQ for the ROM and there is post for sample scripts. I used them last night and got hotmail and exchange working. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7333558&postcount=19477
Check the FAQ - each time I re-read it I figure something else out.
lol and there was me thinking it would be a lot harder. i always skip past the faq because 9 times out of 10 they are always filled with things like "How do i flash a rom" etc but i do still have a feeling it's not going to cover all my questions, things like can i write some code to enable the wifi at first boot or some other things i haven't meantioned like can i write a script that will automatically configure omarket with my login details.
I want to go all out on this and have it set up so i have to do as little manual configuration as possible so some code samples and/or further pointer would be really handy.
Just had another look at the faq and found i already had the xml generator listed in the energy addons page. One small problem... I have no idea what the hotmail server configuration is. Any clues? if not i will google it later.
Got my hotmail script. No idea if it works, guess i'll have to test it at some point.
I'm still looking for info on how to enable the wifi at first boot. Although at this point i am open to suggestions on different methods that could be used.
I am also a little disappointed. i thought this one had more legs to it. oh well, you can't always get everything you want i guess.
Just a litlle update. I got the wifi to take the settings without turning it on. Well i say i did it when really it just seemed to work. i think it might have somethig to do with some new drivers that were cooked into the rom i use.
I dropped the hotmail script because i do actually use windows live fair often and i ended up with 2 hotmail email accounts in the email tab but with a couple of tweaks i did get my exchange settings script to work like a dream.
I'm now looking into setting the phone identity using a reg file. I gave it a go using a script i picked up but instead of doing what it was supposed to it just stopped the windows and HTC sms clients from working correctly and i can't figure out why (it caused the phone to create several undeleteable sms messages). I'll post the code at the bottom. I'm also wondering if it is possbile to have a script that will copy files (ringtones specifically) to the right location. I think XDA_UC will do this if you create the directory structure in a folder in the XDA_UC folder on the sd card (hope you followed that one). Can anyone confirm that? I also created a script to configure quickgps but that didn't seem to work, i'll post the code for that too.
I'm still wondering if it would be possible to configure the opera user agent string using some form of script or reg file and it would be really nice if i could something similar with BSB tweaks, agps, HTC location service and pretty much everything else tbh. So if anyone has any scripts, reg files or cab files they wanna share i will certainly welcome them and i'm sure that many others will too.
Anyway, to posting those reg files:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"Name"="Lucifer"
"Desc"="HTC HD2"
"OrigName"="Lucifer"
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS]
"auto"=dword:00000001
"actSync"=dword:00000001
"ExpiredTime"=dword:00002760
"remind"=dword:00000001

id some looking up on the device name thing and found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924188.aspx seems my reg key was a little wrong.
I've also managed to create a cab file that will install my ringtones and then setthem with all related options as the defaults. I know it's not very impressive but it's a step in the right direction. I think i may have a look at exporting the bsb tweaks settings later and see how that goes.
Oh one question: i have been looking for an .reg to xml converter but my google results all seem a little vague and i don;t know if can trust the programs i'm finding. Has anyone got any suggestions?

I don't think you need to convert reg to xml. Just leave the .reg files in the XDA_UC directory and it should run automatically.

No, you're right. I have no idea what i was thinking.
Another little update. I have working reg files for opera ua string and quickgps. I've decided not to bother with bsb tweaks because it's so easy to setup but being able to preconfigure windows live would be cool. Also being able to preconfigure agps would be nice
mentioned as a sort of derail in this older post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58810816&postcount=3
but no replies so just wanted to re-post with a specific, appropriate subject line.
so, supposedly I should be able to go into settings->wireless->bluetooth and change the "bluetooth name" of the device, and also choose discoverable on/off/timeout.
a. can't change the name of the device; there's no sort of default name shown, and when I tap the left side of the very first line, all I get is bluetooth turns on.
2. turning bluetooth on makes it permanently discoverable, no options to disable or set a time out. if I try tapping the left side of the first line, all that happens is BT shuts off.
is this pure pilot error? does this work / not-work for others?
I have the 4.5.3 update installed.
one thing I wonder about, is that I did disable a bunch of safe-seeming Amazon packages (check out the other thread about PM blocking) including the launcher and some other things. seems unlikely this would have any effect, but in the worst case I can try unblocking stuff and see.
also, haven't been able to find any realy mention on xda or google, but might as well ask: does anyone know if PM or AM are able to manipulate bluetooth settings?
also also, getprop shows:
[net.bt.name]: [Android]
net.hostname = kindle-blahblahgibberish (the usual)
(even weirder, when I pair it with a win7 PC, it shows up as the custom name I put in settings->device options->"change your fire's name")
and the bluetooth settings page still shows none of the above, zero name at all.
again, is this all normal behavior? it's kind of a security flaw (yes, I was still required to enter a PIN on the keyboard, which is good, but there are other ways permanently-discoverable can be bad.)
Don't have your device, so can't say how bluetooth shd work, but as far as blocking I wonder if the debloater tool by @gatesjunior will work with your device. No root required on KitKat, (but of course Sangria is very different.) If it works, it'll show you everything you blocked, let you easily unblock some or all, and also find out if you can pm block bluetooth.

thanks, but I may have already heard of that one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58820407&postcount=6
and if it somehow wasn't clear, I'm NOT trying to block bluetooth. otherwise I could simply leave it turned off to same effect.
Hey, sorry. I searched around and didn't see your post

nah, I was just having a laugh, no worries. I was actually glad you posted it because that program is so seriously friggin' useful, the more people know it will work with their firehd, the better.
like, if my lazy carcass ever gets around to trying re-enabling stuff I've blocked and see if that changes anything in the BT settings, I can do it one by one, but first export/save the list of blocked stuff - so much easier to import/restore the saved blocklist file, instead of writing it down or trying to remember.

Right on! Too many text files with notes of mods to everything, not just KFs. lol.
And hey, thanks for getting Fire 6 to Gran--lots of promises, but you came through. Good man! Guess you saw this: https://plus.google.com/+GranPC/posts/SkUo5AUDMAy
i would like to know the meaning of various protocols i have seen in URIs that XPrivacy is showing me.
for example, i notice Google Account Manager is trying to access something at content://media/external/images/... what exactly is that referencing? there is no /media directory on the filesystem...
also noticed some references to content://com.google.android.gms.download/download/libappdatasearchext_armeabi_v7a.so for example, but i don't exactly see that either... there's a /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_download/ but it doesn't have that .so file in it. in fact 'find' didn't find that file anywhere in the filesystem...
i thought i saw some other protocols besides "content" but can't seem to find those right now in my XPrivacy logs... here's another one: android.resource://
sorry really new to Android, thanks
Now I avoided the hell out of "Octopus" as it's an extremely scetchy application that wants literally all permissions for no good reason. I looked into something called Panda Gamepad Pro and it requires to run ADB root and run a script, however I'd like to get some more insights into what exacly it does or rather what it can do. I looked into it myself a little bit as a person that doesn't have that much experience with Android development but as far as I can tell it seems to inject something in possibly it's own process?
I uploaded the script that the ADB.bat executes with adb root and would like to get a rough idea what is going on. The application itself doesn't seem to require more than storage permissions which makes sense as it needs to know where the game executable is for custom layout, nothing scetchy there. Can someone shed some more light on this?
