How can I create a tasker script to automate the amendment of a file in an app?
Basically I wish to add a line of text to a file in the Freedompop app to disable android dialer integration.
I would have to amend the file located at /data/data/com.freedompop.phone/shared_prefs/com.freedompop.phone_preferences.xml
and add this line <boolean name="integrate_with_native_dialer" value="false" />
just before </map>
I have already done this manually with root explorer but its tedious after every app update and I have to do this again manually

I installed Weather Bug today and to my dismay I could not get it working using location services. It worked fine if I removed the location services check boxes during setup and manually entered the location.
I was not happy with having to use a manual entry for my current location and every time I went into settings and turned on location services the app would force close. I figured it was the lack of location services.
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.aws.android/shared_prefs/com.aws.android_preferences.xml
change the line using notepad++ to:
<boolean name="prefs_use_gps" value="true" />
to
<boolean name="prefs_use_gps" value="false" />
push the file back:
adb push com.aws.android_preferences.xml /data/data/com.aws.android/shared_prefs/com.aws.android_preferences.xml
now you can enter settings and enable location services. Just do not enable GPS,
I attached a already modified file. Just rename the txt to xml.
Thanks. Any idea how to get the elite version to work? I added the string from your file, <boolean name="prefs_use_gps" value="false" />, and it did prevent the force close with Location enabled; however, it couldn't find my location. Attached is my com.aws.android.elite_preferences file
I just enable the TetherGPS client when running such apps which crash when trying to access GPS.

This is the line that tells it to use the network location. I did not see this line in your file, so I do not know if it will work in your version.
<boolean name="prefs_use_network" value="true" />
I need help on creating an app which requires root access.
Purpose of this app
1) Able to access a file in root/data/data/*APP XYZ*/*THIS FILE*
2) Generate a random string of number
3) Replace the specific string in *THIS FILE* with the randomly generated number
4) Saves *This File*
Right now I can do it manually but it is rather tedious. Was thinking if it would be possible to create an app to do this automatically with one click.
__________________________________________________________________________
After typing the above, I was thinking that maybe a shell script would do just fine.
Yeah a script would simply be more than enough !
#!/system/bin/sh
set number=$RANDOM
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
*random unimportant stuff*
<string name="uuid">302$number-abcdefghijk</string>
</map>
" > /data/data/com.app/shared_prefs/app.xml
For some reason this script fails to run.
I want to change the uuid string but it doesnt seem to want to run.

Add jellybean like Wi-Fi & Bluetooth ON/OFF switch in title_bar.
This is a cool guide to add Wi-Fi or Bluetooth switch in titlebar as you can see in jellybean.
This mod work will on any gingerbread running phone.
Things you need:-
Apktool/Apk-Multitool
Notepad++
Basic knowledge about compiling & decompiling.
Basic knowledge about xml editing & modding.
Settings.apk from your rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lets start:-
Step-1
First of all decompile your settings.apk
Step-2
Now download this
and extract it.
Open & copy the "res" and paste it in your decompiled "settings" folder
Step-3
Now goto settings/res/xml and open wifi_settings.xml
Here you will see a line like that:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_title" android:key="enable_wifi" android:summary="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_summary" />
Step-4
Add this android:layout="@layout/sachin_wifi_switch" Now it will look like this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" [COLOR="red"]android:layout="@layout/sachin_wifi_switch"[/COLOR] android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_title" android:key="enable_wifi" android:summary="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_summary" />
now save and close it.
Step-5
Now open bluetooth_settings.xml
and find this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/bluetooth" android:key="bt_checkbox" android:summary="@string/bluetooth_quick_toggle_summary" />
Step-6
Here add this android:layout="@layout/sachin_bt_switch"
and now it will look like this:
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference [COLOR="red"]android:layout="@layout/sachin_bt_switch"[/COLOR] android:title="@string/bluetooth" android:key="bt_checkbox" android:summary="@string/bluetooth_quick_toggle_summary" />
save and close it.
Step-7
Now open AndroidManifest.xml in "Settings" folder.
Here find this:
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/wifi_settings" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_wifi_settings" android:name=".wifi.WifiSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
Step-8
After "activity" add this android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
like this:
Code:
<activity [COLOR="red"]android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/wifi_settings" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_wifi_settings" android:name=".wifi.WifiSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
now find this:
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/bluetooth_settings_title" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_bluetooth_settings" android:name=".bluetooth.BluetoothSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
similarly do here, add android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" after "activity".
like this:
Code:
<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:label="@string/bluetooth_settings_title" android:icon="@drawable/mainmenu_icon_bluetooth_settings" android:name=".bluetooth.BluetoothSettings" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
save and close it.
and you are done with modding.
Now compile & Sign the new Settings.apk
and push it to system/app and change the permission to rw-r-r
Enjoy! Press THANKS if you like it

I have an app that opens a web browser and searches Google for a keyword. In the AndroidManifest.xml file, I forgot to add <uses-permission ... INTERNET/> but the app still works. I realize that INTERNET isn't a dangerous permission so the user doesn't need to allow it. But all the documentation that I can find says that the uses-permission element must appear in the AndroidManifest.xml file. What am I missing?
