noob qn...copy Kaisertweak XML to phone

noob question...i managed to copy the kaisertweak.exe to \My Documents\Personal by just browsing to it and doing a 'Save As'. However, this doesn't seem to work for the XML...it wants to display it in the browser. I've tried renaming the xml file with a .dat extension, an .exe extension and without an extension...but it won't let me download the file. What's the best way to get the xml file from the web (http://www.fxnexus.com/storage/kaiser/kaisertweak.xml) to my device?
(I don't want to use an intermediary PC to transfer files.)
thx, fxs.

all you got to do is in your browser hit FILE > save page as. select only save xml, not full page. if that dont work, then just go here and download the ZIP file that contains both the new kaisertweak exe and xml files.

On IE ...on my device?? I don't have a File Menu option!
Once I load the xml file within IE...all I have at the bottom is a 'Back' menu option, and a 'Menu' menu option. 'Menu' has Edit, View, Tools etc...but no 'File'.
I tried doing a Edit --> Select All --> Copy and then, went into Word Mobile to paste it all and save as text...but then, I'm left with a '.txt' file that I cannot rename to '.xml'.

do it on your PC not in the WM. if you insist on using your device to dl, then i suggest installing a unzipper. then you can just download that kaiser tweak zip file to your phone. unzip it on the phone and you got both the exe and xml right on the phone.
Can't install Kaisertweak on AT&T Tilt
I've tried installing this two ways:
1. On my PC: when I click the .exe file, I get the message: "KaiserTweak.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
2. On my Tilt: when I click on the .zip file, it shows KaiserTweak.exe and KaiserTweak.xml, but the latter file has the Opera browser icon next to it and the description "Unknown Type." When I tap on KaiserTweak.exe, I get the message: "Unable to open file \Windows\-IA Zip Temporary Files\KaiserTweak.xml". Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, nothing happens: I'm brought back to the display of the .exe and .xml files.
I'm assuming the program is not installing, and that I'll know that the installation was successful when I see KaiserTweak when I select Start/Programs.
Thanks.

removing default Java midlets

Since I installed the latest official updates, I find that I can't remove the default Java midlets. When I click-hold, the 'uninstall' selection is grayed out. How do I remove Tiger Woods and all the other crap?
Thanks!

you need to copy over a file from \windows\appdb to your computer and edit it w/ a hex editor to change:
- preinstalled=Y to preinstalled=N
- uninstall=N to uninstall=Y
for every applet you want to remove... copy back over and uninstall your apps.
MAKE A COPY of the original file in case you mess up.
I'm not having any luck finding 'uninstall' in any of the files in that directory- are you talking about the *.db files?
The file is the selector.utf. I had the same problem.

To the cooks who use WinRAR: new version is out

3.80 is out:
http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/pocketrar38b1.exe
New features:
1. Added support for ZIP archives containing Unicode file names
in UTF-8 format. When creating ZIP archive, WinRAR stores
names in Unicode only if they cannot be stored correctly using
the current single byte character set.
2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.
3. Improved Unicode support for RAR and ZIP archive names.
4. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes
are now available in archiving dialog. They allow to specify
WinRAR behavior when updating already existing files in archive.
Unlike already available "Fresh existing files only" and
"Add and update files", these new modes ignore file date
and compare only file names.
Command line equivalents of these modes are:
a) switch -o enables "Ask before overwrite" archiving mode;
b) switch -o- enables "Skip existing files" archiving mode;
c) switch -o+ enables "Overwrite all" mode (default for archiving).
5. New "Add to context menu" option in "Profile parameters" dialog.
If this option is on, the profile name will be displayed in Explorer
context menus allowing to activate a profile from context menu.
6. New -cp switch allows to select a compression profile
in command line mode. It is supported only by GUI WinRAR.exe,
not by rar.exe.
7. New "Options" page of archiving dialog contains the group of
settings modifying the behavior of "Delete files after archiving"
option from "General" page:
a) Delete files. Delete files normally like in previous WinRAR
versions.
b) Move files to Recycle Bin. Deleted files are placed to
Recycle Bin.
Command line equivalent of this option is -dr switch.
c) Wipe files. Before deleting file data are overwritten by
zero bytes to prevent recovery of deleted files.
Command line equivalent of this option is -dw switch.
All these options have an effect only if "Delete files
after archiving" is on. You can enable any of these options
in the default compression profile to change the default
behavior of "Delete files after archiving".
8. WinRAR "Extraction path and options" dialog is now resizable.
You can use the mouse to drag its border to the desired size
and provide more space for folder tree pane. WinRAR will store
new dimensions of this dialog.
9. New "Update" SFX script command and "Update mode" group
of options in "Update" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog.
These command and options allow to check time and implement
file time based updating;
10. SFX script "Shortcut" command and "Add shortcut..." command
in "Advanced SFX options" dialog now allow to specify
an icon file containing an icon associated with shortcut.
11. New "Wipe temporary files" option in "Settings/Security" dialog
provides more secure, though slower, way to delete temporary
WinRAR files.
12. WinRAR and RAR display the total progress bar when unpacking
a multivolume RAR archive if all volumes are present
in the same folder.
13. WinRAR and RAR automatically expand names of environment
variables in list files. For example, a list file can contain
lines like:
%windir%\*.exe
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
This feature is available only in Windows RAR version.
14. Added support of TAR archives with non-zero "extra field" data.
15. Added support of TAR archives, which does not contain
the end of archive entry consisting of 512 zero bytes.
16. Improved Unicode support when dragging files from WinRAR window.
17. Shift+Tab key combination can be used in main WinRAR window to
switch the input focus between interface elements (files, comment,
tree, address) in reverse order. In previous versions Shift+Tab
used the same order as Tab.
18. Corrected a possible WinRAR crash when opening truncated
UDF ISO files.
Thx for sharing!

[Q] how to use zipthemer in SGT p3100 with stock 4.2.2..

Want to use zipthemer to create own themea but can someone help me to show exact procedure.. I am having a rooted device in stock 4.2.2 want your help guys.. if any other process is there kindly link me to it.. will be waiting for ur rply...
First, download some MetaMorph or ZipThemer theme files to your sdcard. Leave them in ZIP format.* The location on the sdcard is not important. Leave them in downloads, move them to /sdcard/ZipThemer or /sdcard/AndroidThemes... it doesn't matter.If you have ClockworkMod 3.0 (or higher) installed as your recovery program or require Edify scripting for any other reason, then visit "Menu -> Update Edify" and follow the instructions shown.* The device type name field on this screen is for display purposes only (enter anything you want).* See below for more details on Edify support.
Click the "+Theme" button to launch a file browser and select a theme zip file.* Repeat to add as many other themes as you want to install via the generated update zip file.Click the theme names in the theme list to expand and reveal the sub-theme components.* Components may be excluded from the build by unchecking the corresponding checkbox.Long-press on themes in the list to get a context menu which allows you to remove themes, order them, and launch the theme details view. Note that the context menu is not operational for the theme sub-components.Click the "+Output" button to select the output file via the file browser.* The parent directory of the selected output file becomes the new default output directory.* See below for more details.
Click the "*Output" button to edit the output file name.Click "Built It!" to create the flashable update zip file.**
Review the completion log and follow any instructions displayed there.
Reboot into recoveryIf you chose not to create a flahsable undo file, do a Nand backup instead so you can revert in case you change your mind later about having installed the theme.Flash the zip file to apply the themes.Reboot and enjoy the results!
Undo Files
You can choose to create a flashable undo file that can be used later to revert the theme changes.* The creation of the undo file is relatively quick and does not add significant time to the build process.* Using an undo file is generally faster and easier than Nand backups.* However, in order for the undo file to work it must be created at the time the theme update is created. It can't be created after the theme has been applied in recovery.* Also, undo files must be applied in exact reverse order of creation in order to reliably back out changes from several independently flashed theming operations.
The choice to make an undo file is controlled by a preference setting with a default value of "Ask".* In this mode, a dialog is displayed asking for your decision to create the undo file at the beginning of each build.** You may also choose to "Always" or "Never" create undo files.
Undo files are written to the same directory as the update zip file.* They will have a similar name except with a "-undo.zip" suffix.
Edify Scripting
There are two formats for the script file inside an Android update.zip file.* The old format is called "Amend", and the new format is called "Edify".** As of this writing most recovery programs support both formats, but Amend has been deprecated in favor of Edify.* ClockworkMod 3.0 no longer supports the Amend format and users with this recovery must configure ZipThemer to use Edify scripting.
Begin by selecting the Menu -> Update Edify option.* Pick one of the two options.* Option 1 is likely to work for most users and simply requires that you have a flashable ROM or update on your sdcard that contains an Edify script.* The device type name field on this screen is used for display purposes only.* Enter whatever you want for this value.* Browse and select the ROM or update file.* Click "Configure..." and you're done.* This is normally a one-time operation that you don't have to repeat, assuming it succeeds without errors (see the*FAQ*for exceptions).
You can control which format ZipThemer generates by changing the "Update Script Format" setting.* Amend is the default and should work for many users .* If you require Edify (ClockworkMod 3.0 users) or just want to try it, first check to see if your phone is listed in the Update Script Format setting list.* If its not listed, update the database via the app's "Update Edify" menu item. * If your phone still doesn't appear, try one of the "Generic" phone options or generate a configuration using "Option 1" on the Update Edify screen.* Finally, if you still can't get themes to install then ask for support by visiting the support forum or sending me (the dev) an email.
Edify Phone Database
File-system partitions must be explicitly mounted when using Edify and the mount commands can vary from phone to phone.* ZipThemer can extract the required information from a flashable ROM or update file, and there is a database of mount commands provided by nubecoder as an artifact of his*amend2edify tool project.* ZipThemer can use this database when generating Edify scripts and ships with a built-in version, but if you use Option 2 in the "Update Edify" menu screen the latest version of the file will be downloaded to/sdcard/ZipThemer/edify/phoneDatabase.xml.* This file takes precedence over the built-in one.
update-binary
ZipThemer also contains a built-in version of the update-binary file which is used when running edify scripts after configuring with Option 2.* The file gets copied into the update.zip automatically during generation when Edify scripting is enabled.* The default version was also obtained from the amend2edify project.* At the time of this writing the built-in update-binary file is known to work on most phones, but you can provide your own version by copying one into the*/sdcard/ZipThemer/edify*directory (it must be named "update-binary").* However, not all update-binaries are created equal so you're on your own when doing this.
Default Output Directory
Changing the output file via the "+Output" button implicitly changes the default output directory to the containing folder of the selected file.* The default output directory value is persisted across application restarts and can be changed again by selecting a file in another directory via "+Output".* If the directory is ever found to not exist, then the default directory will revert back to /sdcard.*
This feature of persisting and re-using the default output directory is meant to aid users whose method of installing updates requires the output zip files to be located somewhere other than in /sdcard.*

Wi-Fi Hotspot isn't working

Hi, i have a htc one m8 sprint. I use original rom, but i can't find hotspot anywhere. Please, help me. How do i fix this problem?
1. is your Bootloader unlocked
2. are you rooted
Requirements
Rooted Android device
Vanilla Android/AOSP-based firmware or custom ROM
Android 6.0 or higher
Step 1Install a Root-Enabled File Browser or build.prop Editor
To get this one going, you'll just need either a root-enabled file browser or a dedicated build.prop editor app to add a single line to your build.prop file. If you don't already have one of these already, here are a pair of free options:
Install root Explorer (below) or FX File Explorer for free from the Google Play Store
Install Build.prop Editor for free from the Google Play Store
I'll be demonstrating using a root file browser, but the basic premise should be just about the same regardless of which method you use.
Edit Your build.prop File
The build.prop file is located in the system folder on the root partition of your device, so navigate to this directory with your root file browser to begin. From here, make sure the folder is mounted as "read/write," then long-press the build.prop file and choose "Open with," then "Text editor."
Next, scroll down to the bottom of your build.prop file and press the enter button on your keyboard to add a new line. From here, regardless of if you're using a file browser or a dedicated build.prop editor, the process will be the same. Simply add the following line, then make sure to save your changes before exiting:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Step 3 Reboot & Enjoy Free Tethering
Once you've added the line to your build.prop file, all that's left to do is to reboot your phone. When that's taken care of, head to the "More..." entry in Android's main Settings menu, then select "Tethering & portable hotspot." From here, simply turn on the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" option and connect your secondary device to begin tethering, and all the while, your carrier will be none the wiser.
Thanks. I'll try it.

in settings go to backup and do a full reset it will return your phone back to stock if that is what you are referring to
or open dialer and type ##786# this will also completely reset the phone as if you just bought it
