[Q] Install Whats'App by coping system files?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Maybe the title is not really accurate but I didn't know how to formulate my question.
I'm actually living in Japan and I bought a new phone (OnePlus One). Because I don't need my phone number, I froze my phone contract with my provider (Swisscom). So my phone number is not active anymore.
But What's app is still working on my old phone. But I can't install it on the new one because of the verification. I tried some of the "hacks" you can find online about spoofing my sms but it's not working because my phone number is not active anymore.
Do you have any solution that can help me install whats'app on my new phone?
I was wondering if it was possible to copy all the files from my previous phone on the new one (whats'app file of course) maybe there is a validation files somewhere which can be transfered. I don't know I'm out of ideas.

AIM 2/ PPC2002 - "Not valid to run on this device ?&quo

Hi all,
I just tried to load the new AIM for PPC2002 on my SER 1.2 XDA and it installed fine, but when trying to run it - it said it was not valid to run on the device..
Has anyone else seen this ??
Yes. In fact, I saw it on the new 4.00.16 T-Mobile ROM. It has the program installed (in 'Program Files' even), but it doesn't work giving the same message, and there's no link to it in 'Programs' either.
Keep in mind this is a US T-Mo software upgrade. The version of AIM that comes with it is for US T-Mo only. It checks your SIM card ID and if you are on any other network other than US T-Mo it will not run. You can do a search online to get the Old AIM client for PPC or you can buy the new one they both work since they are not specific to T-Mo version. I don't know why this is other than this software is avail for download off their website and anyone could get it for free since AOL has now decided to sell it and released a newer full client that also deos AOL Mail.
Hmm another thought is since its in ROM you might be able to overwrite all the .dlls in the \windows\ dir with the .dlls that are in the older version or maybe overwritting the listed files that are diff between 40011 & 40016 with blank text files with same name and changed file ext. This would however require you to remove the T-mo apps from start up incase it looks for any of these files durring start up. There's always a way unless devices stop thinking in x&o/1&0's.
Easy path just find th eold one it's online some where.

Rom Development for Alps E120L and Other Mediatek Devices

I wanted to start this post to see if anyone was familiar with the Alps E120L specifically, or at least has any knowledge of rom making for any china phone with MT65xx processor.
I would like to be able to fix a few quirks with the phone I have and see if I can develop a rom.
The help I need, which I feel is encountered the most often and not always answered on the forum are:
1. My china phone is rooted, but the bootloader is locked. How do I unlock it?
2. I can pull the framework-res.apk off my phone, decompile and edit it using any of the apk tools, but I get errors recompiling it every single time. what is the problem here? By the way, I was able to successfully pull the same framework file off of my samsung galaxy tab, edit it, and recompile it with no problems so it is not a problem with me!
3. How do I get the gps on my phone to work without A-GPS? What files are responsible for the GPS to function?
The reason I need to know this is because my GPS doesnt work and I dont know if its because I dont have A-GPS enabled because I dont have a data service. Personally I think either GPS files are missing or they are not programmed correctly. I have edited the gps.config file and no success.
4. How do I get mms settings setup for t-mobile without data plan? I could send picture messages via edge with an old phone but now my new android ics phone does not allow it to be sent. I have tried pulling settings from t-mobile, but to no avail. Again, i dont nor did I ever have a data plan. I dont know if my phone just doesnt support edge or requires an internet connection or t-mobile is blocking the service? My APN settings do not allow for me to select edge as an option, either LTE or eHRPD as a Bearer?
If anyone is willing to help I thank you in advance. Im sure other people have similar questions. I will keep searching the forums for more information as well.

Stick-N-Find files

Hello,
I'm looking for anyone with a rooted phone supported by Stick-N-Find who has one or more of the stickers. If you could, send me the Devices.xml file from /data/data/com.ssia.sticknfind/shared_prefs
I'm trying to get the app to work on a non-supported device, and I'm hoping I might be able to add the tags in manually, but I need the format.

[Q] Need help for decrypting Whatsapp conversation from the lost phone

Hey all...
This is my first post on this forum and I hope that this is the right place for my question.
I lost my phone, but I was able to find some data that I have copied to the PC not so long time ago. The thing is that I had some important dates and conversations on whatsapp and all what is left on my PC are db.crypt7 files which I can't open. I red a few guides about it, but some kind of key and software is required in order to open those files and I am 100% noob regarding things like that. So my question: Is there any chance to decrypt those files I have from the whatsapp folder of my lost Samsung Galaxy S2, or all hopes are lost? Phone was not rooted and all I can find are those few db.crypt7 files.
Thank you in advance!

Retrieving .db files from an unrootable phone

I'm trying to retrieve a couple .db files from an old phone of mine. I tried many root methods, both .apk roots and PC versions. It seems many others owners have also come to the conclusion that the phone is unrootable (but if anyone knows how, let me know). What other ways are there to get at those files? I know the specific filepaths of the .db files that I'm trying to retrieve. Assuming that I don't care about the condition of the phone afterwards, is there no way, including removing the hard drive, to get at the files?
For reference, the phone is a vivo X6D and the files I'm trying to get are from WeChat. My old WeChat account was created before they required a phone number, so I can't recover the account itself to get my messages, so I'd like to get at the EnMicroMsg.db file. Thanks for any help you guys are able to offer, it's much appreciated.
