[Q] Tasker tutorial help - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I've been trying to gradually add more and more functionality to Tasker and remove apps. I've already done away with SetCPU, now I'm going after Beautiful Widgets. I've followed this guide on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135341) but seem to be having a little issue. It writes data to a file called "sync", which it can't create on its own. The file is then deleted at the end of the process as it is used a temporary cache for the weather data. Obviously I don't want to be re-creating this file manually every hour. Can anyone help me out with this? Is anyone else here using this successfully?
I've attached my .prf created from this tutorial.

OK, solved the issue, could a mod delete this thread please.

Can you explain how you resolved this issue? I'm also trying the script out to pull weather. Also trying to parse XML RSS feeds.
At present I'm writing feed to local file, and reading it back in line by line into an array [ %array(#) ]

[Q] Adding files to apk to install

Ok, I have read and read and am still stumped. Let me explain. I have a game decompiled and want to add a file to it that will copy itself to a certain location upon install. Here it is--
My goal is to take a copy of my profile.sav and insert it into the decompiled apk, possibly in the res/raw directory. When I install the .apk, I want the profile.sav to be moved to the /data/data/com.myapp.here/app_Documents/ directory. I am learning here and this is solely for the purpose of making my apps custom for me. To be able to install the app and have my settings already in place, negating the need for a backup/restore would be ideal for me. Besides, it just seems a really interesting thing to learn. Thank you in advance for all you help folks!
OH, also I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601629 But, The last post by Gene Pool is provided with code. Problem is, I have no idea where to insert this code, or if it is even useful for what I am trying to do. Thanks Again!
I guess this wont be as simple a task as I had hoped.

[Q] Copy paste problem on stock ROM

Hi all,
I am having issues with copy and paste on my stock ROM. According to Clipper, nothing goes into the clipboard when I cut/copy text. I've tried this in S Memo, Gmail, Chrome, Messaging and Whatsapp, so it should be a system issue. Is anyone else having similar problems? Mine is running PDA: I9305ZHALI8. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Not mine. I've tried copying text from webpage to search bar, and even copied some text from Gmail to Whatsapp.
But...does I9305ZHALI8 exist? Mine is ZHALI7.
Where's your S III LTE brought from? Mine is HK.
Edit: Seen the upgrade. I decide not to upgrade first.
Fix
I hade the same problem, but i found a salution.
First open upp any root explorer app.
data and look for the folder named clipboard.
delite that folder and boot your phone in to recovery mode.
then you fix permissions.
hoped i helped
ansonscleung: I just upgraded today hoping that the update would fix this copy paste issue, but unfortunately it does not. I was on I9305ZHALI7 for almost two weeks.
Curwer: Thanks for your fix! I was hoping I wouldn't have to root but if I may have to do so if it really gets on my nerves...
sry I dont know any other way to fix this, maybe factory reset will but i´m not 100% on that :/

fix_mediaDrain.zip - HELP ME!!

HELP!!
When i was running the RGUI ROM (JB) there was a fix zip to use in CWM to fix the 'Media' drain in the battery.
This worked wonders! So i just tried to flash it to my device again, except now i'm running the 'Anonorom' ROM.
It worked. Or flashed without error anyway.
The problem now is that since the reboot, the 'Fonts' have failed to be picked by my apps.
This is most noticibly with UCCW. The widget i created for the homescreen uses about 5 different fonts and its defaulted to 1 default font.
When i open the widget to change the fonts back, it tells me theres only 1 font available; "Default" and that if i want to add more then to put them in 'sd:\fonts'.
I've gone back to my file manager and checked this location and there are LOADS of fonts in there still, so its not as if they've been deleted.
Clearly this is the work of the fix_mediaDrain.zip, which i now obviously regret flashing. And WHO KNOWS what other errors i will now encounter!
So my question is, other than reflashing the ROM (which would be a pain because i've also flashed the JKay framework and other things like that, and amanaged to get the phone to my liking) does ANYONE know of a kind of UNDO fix for this fix_mediaDrain.zip that i can flash.
Obviously i dont even know if it exists,im just praying, but if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appriociate it.
I'm guessing the media scanner has been stopped, or a .nomedia file has been placed in the fonts folder.
So first check if there is a file called .nomedia in this folder and if so, delete it and reboot.
If not, then get rescan media root from play and try to enable media scanner and reboot.
Report back please

Firstly, thanks for your reply..
I've checked the location for a '.nomedia' file and no it does not exist.
I even checked 'Root Explorer' incase the file was hiddenin my regular file manager. Still nothing.
I downloaded the 'Rescan Media Root' app, which looked successful, but didnt fix my issue.
I tried a different app called 'media Rescan Lite', but that too did not fix the issue.
It's not looking good for me is it?
well the obvious path note really is to post in the Rom thread/contact dev and find out what the file does and how it can be reverted, let me know if you don't have enough posts and I will post link to your dilemma for you

I have contacted the developer of this fix to ask what it does exactly and if theres any way to undo the fix.
I have also added a post to the thread where this fix was first suggested to me in the past, incase anyone there might be able to shed some light on it..
I will post my findings once i ear back from anyone incase anyone else ever has this problem...
Thanks again.
SOLVED!!
I have managed to fix this problem!
This is going to sound RIDICULOUS but.....
I renamed the 'Fonts' folder on my sdcard slightly.
I say 'renamed', but all i did was make the filename all lowercase, creating "fonts" instead of "Fonts".
Then, IMMEDIATLY, the fonts on my widget wer back to normal..!
How very odd that this was changed by the 'fix_mediaDrain.zip' throgh CWM + reboot.

[Q] Android list of permissions - Which file?

Hi all,
which system app or file(s) contains descriptions of permissions, which are loaded when installing app or displayed in Settings/Applications?
My ROM displays these permissions incorrectly and I need to fix it.
Thanks!
So, I find out that all permissions are stored in framework-res.apk file, but I still don't know, why are they displayed incorrectly in Settings, in package-installer, Gplay etc.
There is probably some bug in some file, maybe in framework-res, but where?
I could provide all information you need to solve this problem (tell what you need to know).Is there someone, who can help me, please? Thx
EDIT: Is this XDA? Because it seems nobody can/wants to help me...

Install multiple APK with one APK

Need your help folks..
So I have 4 APK and I want to merge them into 1 APK for installation, but when installing it will be back into 4 different application. Is there any way to do this? Thanks
This should be possible in theory, It could be done by decompiling the app and merging them all together and creating different app-drawer references in there. But this creates a few problems regarding deleting one of the apps, once you delete 1 you delete all. The same story goes for updating them, if you want to update an app you should rebuild the whole crazy app configuration. You might be better of creating an ADB script or even a pm (package manager) script to automate installing apps.
