Can I get the virus just opening picture in Messenger, and can virus hide in .jpg file?
A JPEG is a file that can be infected. However, in order to activate the virus, the file must be run. As the JPEG file is an image file, it will not be executed as long as the image is not processed by any other type of program.

Android virus
I think anything you download can have a virus attached to it. I'm no expert though!

Hello, I'm running cognition with speedmod and running ADWlauncher. I want to customize an icon on the home page, however I want to customize it into an icon that comes stock with an app. the customization options in ADW only allow me access to the icons that come with the launcher, as well as picture folders but not full file access. any suggestions?
edit: I forgot to include that the obvious solution of finding the file and copying it manually to a place where I can access it doesn't work because all the files in the app folder are .DAT
---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------
anyone have any clue? or know a program to access the raw files in a .dat file? (changing name to .zip didnt work )
what app are you seeing .dat files?
inside the apk you should see a /res folder, inside that are all the drawables.
copy that png out that you want, then use something like desktop visualizer to create your shortcut
Hey all, I borked my contacts app while deleting things with Root Explorer
Therefore I am hoping some kind soul will point me in the direction of where I can download these two files.
blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex
(p.s. I am running Sun-198_6)
Thanks!
Hi, here what you need:
View attachment blur_yahoo.tar
Lovely - I will now try to install them.
Thanks!
directions
Just in case anyone else needs install instructions:
(written by someone other than me)
Worked like a charm!
Use Root Explorer to copy the blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex files from your SD card's backup of the System/App folder that you just created, then paste those two files into the phone's root System/App folder. (You will need to click "mount r/w" to mount the folder as read/write before you can paste the app there...) Then, you will need to long-press the blur_yahoo.apk and blur_yahoo.odex (one at a time) and select "Permissions", then change the permissions for each file so that the only (four) blocks checked are Owner: Read & Write, Group: Read, and Others: Read. Remove checks from any of the other blocks. (Basically, you are setting the permissions to match all of the other apps in the System/App folder...) Select "Ok" and then reboot your phone; the Yahoo Email Authenticator 2.3.4 app should be reinstalled successfully and your Contacts app will function well once again!
Help with directions
Can someone give me help with these directions? Ok I've already downloaded the file above to my laptop. Now I am guessing I have to move it to my phone. I read where I have to move it to "System/App folder". I've looked in my SD card and the internal storage of my phone... I don't see a System App folder. I have also read that I have to create one?? Create one on my SD card? Thx in advance....

The /system/app is found on your internal memory not your actual SD cad. And you have to use root explorer(or another similar app) that allows you to access root folders to copy and paste the files into the folder then fix your permissions and reboot. Stupid question, but you DID unzip the file to end up with .apk files right..?
I want to copy a bunch of text files to my Android device that's running MM 6.01. This could be via Dropbox, ftp, external sdcard, whatever. The catch is that I want them to retain the date and timestamps that they have on my computer (or sdcard) when they're done being copied to my phone. So far, nothing I've tried has worked, be it via the aforementioned methods or from a command line. Any suggestions? Is this even possible?
I'm not sure there is a way to do it. The time stamps are there for the last time it was modified or moved so I'm not sure how you will get around.
you could try to pack it by any file compressor before copying them, and then unpack them in the destination folder once you copied the compressed file.

Doesn't work. The files have the timestamp of the moment that it was extracted onto the Android device.

how you compressed the files?
also, you checked the timestamps after the compression?
maybe you can pass arguments to the decompressor in order to force preserving the files attributes

i think the tar archivier could do the trick .. take a look here https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_70.html

I compressed the files on my Mac. The .zip archive had the timestamps that were on the Mac, which was fine. But decompressing them onto the Nexus 6 gave them the current time, which is undesirable. You're suggesting that I use the tar archiver to decompress on the Nexus 6? It's worth a try if that's the idea. I'd tried a cp command and one other awhile back to preserve timestamps when copying from an external sd card to the phone, but it didn't work.

with cp you could try with the -pr switch options
Hi,
I am trying to transfer files from my PC to my phone but it keeps crashing every time. Sometimes it won't even work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
same with me!
normal files like mp3's or pics are no problem, but i tried to copy an update.zip with the 15S version (1,6GB) and it crashes halfways every single time... don't know what to do with it cause the shop i bought it from uninstalled all leeco apps incl. the system update app so i have no chance to update the phone! still running on 13S
can someone plz help?
I got the same problem. The only solution I found was to switch ptp (photo) mode and put the file in pictures directory and move it after.
Sent from my Le X821 using XDA-Developers mobile app
also tried the ptp mode but it's not working either. the problem seems to be limited to larger files (est. >600mb) when i rezip the update file to 100mb parts i can copy them one after another without problems, but that won't solve my problem because i cant reassemble them once theyre copied to the phone...
anyone got an idea what causes this problem or can tell me a method how i can update the phone from my pc without copying large files onto it?

ok think i'm getting clos to a solution, at least for my problem.
i have extracted the copied zip files on my phone via winrar app and tried to rezip them at the root directory but i got the error message "read-only file system" what maybe is the core of the problem.
went a little deeper into file structure and it's ziping the file as "update.zip" right atm.
i will now try to copy the zipped file from the /storage/emulated/0/update directory to root directory.
let's hope it works...
Have you tried the old fashioned cure....delete from device manager and reboot. Make sure you select mtp mode when you reconnect the phone
It would be helpful if someone could guide me in trying to retrieve the previous version of a .dat file on ANDROID.
I would like to know if it is possible or not, and if it is how as it is very much needed because I am a junior developer at freefire and we .dat files for guest profiles on the game and I have a client requesting the previous version of the account because he had done some changes to the original .dat file
Your informative response would very much be appreciated :>
Thanks!
I actually tried to transfer the file to my pc and try the previous version from properties in file explorer but as I expected it just dint show anything. I also tried tweaking around with settings on the .obb file in android but to no avail. Help!
