[Q] Filestube - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Filestube is one kind of search engine for files. May be, this site provides only the link of files. But I don't know how to download that file. I use an android cell phone. Today I searched a PDF file which I got by Filestube. The size of PDF file was 21mb (the size of that file was shown below the name of file). Then I wished to download it. In the righht side of the name of file there has an option for download. I pressed this option. After finishing download I saw that the size of the file (that I downloaded) was 1.12 mb. But the name of file (that I downloaded ) and the name of file (that was shown with its size of 21 mb) are same. The last part of the name of file (that I downloaded) contains ".exe". I know that the file which contains '.exe' in the last part of its name is only executable by PC.
Now I want tips for downloading my desired file from this site. Is it possible by android phone? Please,
Instruct me.

(Tool) Compare files.

First off I have nothing to do with the creation of this tool I'm merely sharing what I've found.
Anyone who has dug into smali files knows that they can be somewhat overwhelming and trying to track down a problem can be a time consuming nightmare. One thing I do to hunt down a problem is compare what I know to be working against what is broken so I was sitting here today thinking that I would write a script or create a tool to batch compare files then I said to myself "EB, you're not the first one that's wanted to do this so there must already be something." I fired up Google and sure enough there are a few. The one that I found that is free and handled my task can be found here http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm
Quick tutorial;
1. Download the file.
2. Create a new folder (anywhere you want)
3. Extract the contents to your new folder
4. Place the items you want to compare in that folder (they can be anywhere really but it's simpler to have them in the same directory.)(For my purposes I de-compiled the classes.dex of two framework.jar files and moved the entire output files to this directory in two separate folders.)
5. Run the program
6. Select File
7. Select either Compare Directory (what I did for my purpose) or Compare files. A dialogue box will pop up where you select the 2 sources that you want to compare.
Now this tool will only output what files are changed. There are other tools out there that can do more but I like the ones that are free. At least with this I can scan hundreds of files at once and see where I need to begin
if you want to search for code in multiple files and what not else,
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
has a great program for that
You can search inside the files of a whole folder if you want to....pretty cool

Stock System Apps for 4.4.2 (ND7)

I thought someone might find this handy. I've uploaded all the stock apps under '/system/app/' for regular, stock 4.4.2/nd7 (US version): https://mega.co.nz/#!M0w3EA5Q!ourXO_BjCz-XVt6Fk6fmKP64N42gJiLO9mBCBSZkxb0
I compressed it to an xz file so that it's only a 250 mb download instead of a 330 mb download, but that also means that, if you download this file with your phone, you'll need an app that can decompress xz files. ZArchiver is one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
Once the xz file is extracted, you'll need to extract the tar file too. Most file browsers (like ZArchiver mentioned above) can do this. All the apps are in apk format, which means you just need to tap it and it will install automatically.

Android System ignores hosts file

Hey guys,
I have a problem with editing the hosts file on Android.
At first, some general information: My Phone is a rooted Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 7.0 and for editing I use the 'Total Commander for Android' tool by C. Ghisler (Version 2.90).
So here's my problem: I put together a huge hosts file for my Windows PC (some own entries, a lot of entries copied from someonewhocares.org/hosts) and wanted to copy the entries from my PC to my phone. So I duplicated the file, used Notepad++ and did " Edit --> EOL Conversion --> Unix (LF) ". I then sent the file via e-mail, so I could easily download it from my phone. Said and done, I downloaded it and put it into /system/etc , but when I try to visit one of the sites in the hosts file, it works although it should'nt work.
When I open the hosts file on my phone via total commander and add an entry manually, it works (site is unavailable after doing so).
But if copied into the file (even in Unix format) the system will just ignore the entry.
I have a list with a little less than 10,000 entries, I can't type them all on my phone. What can I do now, so that the Android system will use the hosts file as it should?
Thank you very much

Oh, that is, in fact, pretty simple. It was pretty late when I did this yesterday and I was tired but wanted to get this done before going to sleep. So I made some stupid mistake. I don't know what it was, might have been that I reopened the file in windows editor, might be that I copied the wrong file, I really don't know.
Did it again today (this time without making a stupid mistake) and it works like a charm.
So for everyone who wants to do this, here's a step-by-step instruction (works with Total Commander or with ES File Explorer and should also work with every other root file explorer)
1. Edit your hosts file on your Windows (or Apple) PC as you wish
2. Copy the hosts file and put the duplicate into any other folder on your PC (just not the one with the original hosts file )
3. Open the duplicate with Notepad++ and change the format into Unix (Edit --> EOL Conversion --> Unix (LF))
To control whether everything is changed as necessary you can show the format of the line breaks by clicking View --> Show Symbol --> Show End of Line
4. Move the file to your Dropbox or OneDrive or send it to yourself via mail or, or, or...
5. On your Smartphone copy or move (as you wish) the file from your selected file exchange system into /system/etc
6. Done.
Of course this is only possible, if your Smartphone is rooted and your file explorer has root access.
If your using a Linux system and want to copy the hosts file from your PC to your smartphone you can leave out the third step because the file will already be written in Unix format

How can I modify "ramdisk.img > init" file?

Hi, recently I've dual-booted my computer with Android & Windows 10. But the android rom has shown too much ads so I've deleted the files causing to show the ads from the "system.img" and also "ramdisk.img" (downloaded from internet) and replaced the files with the original ones. Now the ads are not showing but I had built-in root access with SupperSU which I've lost after replacing "ramdisk.img". So I've extracted the original and the downloaded "ramdisk.img" and found an "init" file which doesn't have any file extensions and the "init" file is differing in size between the original & downloaded "ramdisk.img". So I think this file may be the cause to revoke root access. So need to change the file.
Does anyone knows which type of file is the "init" file and how can I edit it?

Question one+-latest do it all tool

i found this on a gsm forum thought id share it here
32.33 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
I have this... its not worked for me so far
This is a windows .bat file that is "protected" and is written to work with Android 11 and half the functions are not the same with the Android 12 ColorOS base version. If the author would have shared it with the .bat file in plain text, someone might have updated it and left his credit and not just stole his work and renamed it.
Not everyone embraces open source ideals.
Yes this work with os11 not for os12
All you have to do is run the exe, then browse to where it extracts the contents to. IE:
c:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\temp
....

You have not dealt with well written .bat file obfuscation. I have the .bat file, but it has been run through a tool that converts the editable ASCII into expressions and different encoded base (x) that are more work to resolve than to re-write the batch file.
Challenge: Make this working executable .bat file plain ascii again.
Your story, tell it like you believe it ;-)
Honestly though, why not look for your self? Ive already done it with this "tool". Not obfuscated at all. If yer having problems finding the files, run the EXE, choose one menu option, go to yer temp DIR and sort the contents by date modified, and with the FILES listed first, scroll down to where it starts listing directories. It will be the first one listed. Have fun!
\\'eird dunno why it didnt attach the file to the previous post. I should have made clear that the file you seek was located in the tmp directory thats created under the parent directory... You seemed to know what you were talking about, so I assumed little to no hand-holding would be needed...
Its worth mentioning that all of these bat2exe tools use the same (or nearly the same..) method for urm ehhh "obfuscation"; IE: upon running the app, it inflates the files to your appdata\local\temp directory. Sometimes the "app" will be password protected, and wont unpack the exe until the correct password is entered. For myself its force of habit to go check my temp dir after running any of these style tool things... And you should too!
