I've noticed that when using a flashable zip, the files that are copied over retain the same timestamp as the other files in that directory.
I am using the 'package_extract_file' command through the updater-script. Is there a way to change the timestamp on the files that have been copied over to system folders to reflect the correct time/date (through the script)? It really helps to verify that the scripts are running correctly.

In PortalApp.apk, it's all bootimages in the assets folder. If I were to edit those images, and send that file to my phone in place of the current PortalApp, will that change the entire bootlogo?

ASTRO hidden folders or files answer
James,
I just saw this post. You can find the answer to your question about hidden files or folders on ASTRO's support forum (I'm new so I can't post a link), but you have probably set a directory specific setting and that is why when you do it in the preferences the files still show.
Try this:
You can't find your hidden folders or files?
ASTRO FM is very robust and due to user requests, ASTRO added the ability to override "global settings" with "directory specific settings".
First, go to Look and Feel under Preferences (menu, more, preferences, look and feel). Click on Show Hidden Files. If this doesn't work, it is because the directory that you have created some directory specific settings on the directory you are in.
You can either:
a) go back to Look & Feel and click Reset Directories which will wipe out any directory specific settings, or
b) go to the directory your hidden files are in (probably your SD Card directory) and click View, Set Directory Options, and click Show Hidden Files in that directory.
Problem avoided!

Hi all!
I have created a script that reads a .db file and exports a .txt file based on the data contained in the database.
That script actually works only with the root user but I would prefer not to use root for this.
The problem seems to be that when the db file is updated (after exiting Epistle, a note editor) it loses all the permissions I gave it with chmod. The db file is located inside /system
Thanks and regards.
In case you want to know, I'm trying to execute a script after modifying some notes (with Epistle) that will export every note to a different txt file.

Sorry about that
Can anyone lend a hand? I'm trying to make an application be able to access the data of another one. If you want to know, I'm trying to make Tasker access the database of Epistle (a text editor)
Thanks!
I made a boot animation and made the bootanimation file with the two folders and desc file. I zipped the file without compression. I placed it on my phone and root explorer will not let me change the permissions. It says that it is read only. I used 7zip to zip as storage. Help please!

Upon doing some research I was under the impression the password.key file would be located in /data/system or even in one of the /data/system/users/<user> folder but the file is not present.
In addition the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings had no folder called databases which would store the settings.db file.
I did find /data/system/locksettings.db so that is a positive.
Any suggestions?

Hi @ThePieMonster,
we have moved your post to the Q&A forum as it didn't qualify for Android Software/Hacking. Prior to your next posting kindly read the sticky on top of every forum.
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
Regarding your question,
the synthetic password is stored in /data/system_de/<user>/spblob/<handle>.spblob
settings are stored as XML files in /data/system/users/<user>/settings_*.xml
generally spoken, if you can't find app data in /data/user/<user>/<pkgname> you should always have a look in /data/user_de/<user>/<pkgname> first.
