In my country some sites have been banned but most of us keep using them in pc's by changing hosts file in \Windows\System32\drivers\etc
adding ip strings like
207.200.100.5 shoutcast.com
207.200.100.5 www.shoutcast.com
I just wonder if there is someway to do this in android? If the answer is yes then my new question is "how"...
Thx for the answers...

Thx. I reached the file by a file manager app. but i cant open it with notepad apps. Do I need the root privilage?
yes. Just ADB pull it.
Technically it's in /system/etc/hosts, /etc is a symlink.
If you want to edit it, create a hosts file on your SD card and then cp from terminal with root privileges. Or you could adb push it from your computer.
thx a lot for the answers. ill try it.
question
hello there,
i'm a newbie and i don't know anything about programming. and i need a step by step guide to edit the host file. i have reached the file with file manager but i can't edit or replace it.
thanks.
Should just be a matter of
adb pull /etc/hosts
Which will copy the file to the current directory, then make the necessary changes, then
adb remount
adb push hosts /etc/hosts
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. If you don't have ADB set up, now would be a good time to do so; searching for "ADB for dummies" should help you with that.
I suggest nano if you have a ROM with this included (such as cyanogenmod). Then all you need to do is open the terminal and enter
Code:
su
nano /system/etc/hosts
In this manner, one can do the edits straight from the phone terminal.
Or download estrongs file manager, go to settings and set file system to "read write"(its in something like root settings or so). after that you can edit the file

This guy knows his hosts. I have his file on my desktop and I push it into every rom I use.
If i put in hosts like one from google for example, and some regular news sites i use, would this speed up my internet?
I've rooted my Droid and copied over a pre-populated hosts file to /system/etc that re-maps bad/ad sites to 127.0.0.1. However, when I open a terminal and ping one of the sites listed in the hosts file, it still comes back with the real IP and not 127.0.0.1.
I do believe in Linux systems, the real hosts file is in root/data/data/
>The system/etc/ hosts file is empty, aka a decoy of some sorts....?
To view it, u may need "rootexplorer.apk" (as opposed to droidexplorer.exe, a windows vista program), as I couldn't get Astro to require SU
(Need to check this out, my own system may be different?)

If it is empty, it just means there aren't any hosts in it. /etc/hosts is the correct file.

Where did you get the file from, a windows pc?
In this case you need to convert the end-of-line characters
from Dos to Unix ones. This could be done with nano editor
or with busybox's dos2unix command.
you should try to open it with the "text editor" in "ASTRO"..

That was it! I opened the hosts file in Notepad++ and converted it to UNIX format, then saved it back to my phone. Now blocked addresses are resolving to 127.0.0.1 as expected. No more ads or malware, yay!
Converting hosts file to unix format is worked for me also ,i converted hosts file with notepad++ to unix format(edit>eol conversation>unix format) then copy it in etc ,overwrite(backup ojinal host file to sdcard first with copy command) ,no need to reboot phone
can't pull
Hi
I'm trying to pull the hosts file with adb or with android commander. the adb sais there isn't a file like that and the AC give me this when I try to copy:
Items count: 1
Items source: /system/etc/
Items destination: C:\android-sdk-windows\
Starting operation...
Coping file: [email protected]
remote object '/system/etc/[email protected]' does not exist

What can I do?

I did some searching but didn't find anything.
Is there a way to bulk install applications if you have all the apks for those applications?

Emm haven't tried it but it should work.
You could use wildcards.
So let's say you have a bunch of .apk's all in one folder, you could use adb to install them on your phone using this syntax:
Code:
adb install folder/*.apk
This should install all files ending with .apk in the folder
sweet, I'll give that a try and let you know how it works. Would make testing different roms alot easier.
Do you think this would bypass the market? If it did notification of updates would not work. hmm, ill have to test.

use atrackdog
Create a batch script with:
Code:
for %%f in ("C:\path\to\apks\*.apk") do adb install "%%f"
The easiest way (imo) if you are rooted:
1. Put all the apks into a folder structure \data\app
2. Create a text file with the following and rename it update-script (with no extension) then put it into a folder structure \META-INF\com\google\android
Code:
show_progress 0.5 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
show_progress 0.5 10
3. Zip both folder structures into a zip file (you should have folders data and META-INF at the root of the zip).
4. Sign it with signapk and you're done
Whenever you want to bulk reinstall, just put the signed zip file into your sdcard and reboot into recovery. When you want to add or remove apks from the bulk installer, just drag it into your zip file and resign.
Or you can backup all your apps into one folder on your sdcard and run this in terminal:
Code:
su
cd sdcard/apps
busybox install *.apk /data/app
I might add this feature into my ADB File Explorer app
I've added a basic feature to install apps into my ADB file explorer, it can do one off apk's or bulk install from a directory. See my sig for more details.
wow, that was fast! thanks!

Thank you for this. This will come in handy a LOT next ROM flashes :]
Seems so easy looking back on it, not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. I may even just edit the rom files to include my installed apps if I need to wipe.
someone made an app for the computer if you have the .apks you just plug in your phone double click the apk and run it and itll install on to your phone, try looking for that.

I'm not sure whether it's using the 5 MB free or the 42 MB space, but Any Cut is 32 kb, so that's a non-issue.
Any ideas on why it's not working?

I don't think so. If there is an ext2 or ext3 partition, I didn't set it up.
By the way, I got InstallAPK, which lets you double click on APKs on your PC and install them to phone immediately.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521295
It worked just fine at installing all my apps after the wipe.
Minus the fact that I had to double click on an app, wait for it to install, double click the next, wait for it to install, double click.... ad nauseum.........
I'm still interested in finding out why the method I posted in the screenshots isn't working.
Has anyone actually gotten it to work?
We're getting off topic but this is what you need to do in all likelihood you're gonna have to reflash Cy 3.6.1 again but before you do you're gonna need to setup your sdcard like this:
you can use either Paragon Partition Manager (above) Gparted, or SDSplit but you should set it up like the picture to run apps to sd and to fully get the Cy experience

ok so i like the android shaped battery meter thats in the froyo 2.2 cm6 extreme blue and vanilla rom,right, so my question is it possible to import that into the rom im running and change my regular battery to that one, is there a specific file i can swap
You have to pull your framework-res.apk file from your phone, extract the images from the original framework-res.apk (in this case the one in CM6 extreme), then add those files to your framework-res.apk and push it into the phone. It's 3:15 A.M. here and I'm not in conditions to explain that with detail, tomorrow if noone has explained it I'll tell you how to do it, you only need WinRAR or 7zip and the SDK to pull/push the modified file into your phone
well i do appreciate the lil bit of insight you provided me ill see if i can try to figure it out but i would like some help when you get a chance tomorrow if i cant figure it out
My girlfriend will kill me tonight...
Okay, excuse my bad english, I'll do what I can... Grab the ROM you want to take the battery icons from in the update.zip and download somewhere to your computer, then unzip it and in the folders you just have created navigate to /system/framework/
Here select the framework-res.apk file and open it with WinRAR (you can do that with 7zip I think but I use WinRAR), once opened navigate inside the zip to /res/drawable-mdpi/ folder and extract all the images there to a new empty folder.
Once extracted all the images, search for the images called
stat_sys_battery_0.png
stat_sys_battery_10.png
stat_sys_battery_20.png
stat_sys_battery_40.png
...
stat_sys_battery_charge_anim4.png
stat_sys_battery_charge_anim5.png
stat_sys_battery_unknown.png
There are 14 battery images in total, at least in my ROM. You can delete all the other images as they have nothing to do with battery status and it will be more easy to do the next step if you only have the battery images.
Connect your phone to your PC, boot your phone into recovery and select "USB-MS toggle". In your computer open a CMD (MS-Dos) prompt window, navigate to the 'tools' directory of your SDK folder (I recommend to unzip SDK in C:/AndroidSDK or something like that for easy access) and write
Code:
adb
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
DON'T CLOSE THE CMD WINDOW, if you do, you will have to start ADB again for the "push" step.
That will take the framework-res.apk file from your phone and download it into your computer.
Next you have to do is to open the file you have pulled from your phone with WinRAR, navigate inside that file into /res/drawable-mdpi/ and drag&drop the battery images you have extracted from the original framework-res.apk to that folder.
Close the file, go back to the CMD prompt window and type
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
Once done, the only thing left to do is typing
Code:
adb reboot
And when your phone finishes rebooting you should see the new battery icons you just uploaded to the phone.
I think I've explained it well, as I said I'm kinda sleepy
I'll be back tomorrow, hope to read you have succeed on changing the battery icons
hells yeah, thank you that worked for me just like you explained it. now i just need to make it fit in with my black theme. but thanks again hope i didnt get cursed out by your girl
She didn't noticed, or so I hope Now I'm leaving to work but you have two options now, change all the rest of your icons and also your current statusbar background so the icons fits with the statusbar or edit the battery icons so it fits with your background.
Here's how my screen looks this morning (thanks UltraLinx for the walppaper) to give you an idea of the background bar thing, I changed mine to a full black bar, If I can help you with your customization I'll be back in like 6 hours or so

Coming from the incredible I have a circle battery meter from the desire ported over and there are 100 ,pngs in the framework , 1 for each % as battery dies. But the phone is only showing only the 20% increments like the normal battery indicator shows. any idea how I can get it to show each percent as phone dies?

/system is mounted read-only. "adb shell mount" will show that.
Code:
adb remount
This will fix it. Note, no "shell" there, alternative:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
I do use this one, instead, because I then do whatever and issue that command again, changing rw to ro, to clear write permission.

I made a few bootanimation.zip for Jellytime i'd like to share.

Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.
Unmount USB storage and launch the file browser of your choice on your phone.
Browse to /system/media, copy the existing bootanimation.zip file from there and paste it somewhere safe on your SD card.
Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new bootanimation.zip and copy it.
Browse to/system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there to override the default system boot animation without replacing it.
OR
Browse to /system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there.
If you are using Super Manager, you will have to enable its root function first from the settings. Furthermore, you may need to mount the /system partition as read-write first too upon entering it.
ADB method:
Enable USB debugging on your device in Settings > Applications > Development.
Connect your device to the computer via USB.
Launch a command prompt/terminal window on your computer.
Navigate to the location where you have the bootanimation.zip file saved.

You need to STOP with all the Jelly Time bootanimations!

Then you come out with a second one, had to choose, stayed with first.
Then Randomblame uses your second one in B9.1.
Now there are just to many good ones to choose from.
Really though, great work. Keep it up.

try the last one, it is pretty cool (many details you don't see in the preview), you nwill enjoy it
All are very good looking.
I do not know if it would be possible but, if you could create a way to have the system randomly pick one each time it booted, now that would be Awesome.
And then I would not have to choose...
I don't know if it's possible neither... you should ask a dev (I'm not)... I thing it's a little too much work...

I made the stupid mistake of trying to run the next launcher. Put it into the system app folder and changed permissions but now I constantly get a 'next launcher has stopped working' message which has made my kindle unusable. I connected my device to my PC in the hope of navigating to the system\app folder and deleting the next launcher that way. However when I connect and go into storage I cannot find the folder. I've tried showing hidden folders but I still can't find it. I know there must be a way to navigate to the system\app but I've had no luck so far. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

Is adb recognizing the device? If so you can use adb to delete the apk. You can't navigate to the system files from pc any other way.
Here are the commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
You must know the exact name of the apk and insert in the command above where it says [AppName].
To get a list of the AppNames on the device:
Code:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
ES File Explorer

If you do not have the Android SDK Installed:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then download ES File Explorer from here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/ES%20File%20Explorer_1.6.2.1.apk
If I understand you correctly, you are able to use the Kindle, correct?
Be sure you have Root Permissions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you can not access the Kindle directly, use onemeila method.
Perform the above download directly from your Kindle using Silk , Opera or Dolphin.
Once the download has completed, choose "Open" to install.
Complete the install of ES File Explorer, then Open ES File Explorer directly
after the install or through the Kindles /Apps/
Once ES File Explorer is open, the go to the Settings, choose Root
Settings. Check every box. Then you will be presented with a Superuser
dialog box. Be sure to click on Allow. Then go back to the main ES File
Explorer Screen. You will notice at the top, it shows where you are in
the file system. By default ES File Explorer open to /sdcard/ so
You need to click UP. This will place you at the Root / - next
Click on the System folder, next the App folder. Long press
whatever file you would like to delete and choose "Delete" or
"Move" to Move the file to another location. Just FYI you
will find that most of the programs reside in /data/apps.
I suspect Next Launcher is in the /data/apps folder.
If none of this works, PM us, we will get you back online.

ariks2012,
What is your exact problem? Have you lost the entire contents of the /data/app folder and the /system/app folder? If yes, a Factory Reset will not resolve the problem, we recommend using our Backup and Recovery tool Kindle Fire First Aide:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

The above too will completely reset your Kindle and install Factory Fresh Software.
Once again, not affiliated with this app, just found it to be working flawlessly on our poor little HTC Vivids. This is the proclaimed Android 4.3 Camera that's on the Google Play Edition phones. Originally found here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
How I got it to work-
1. Move Gallery2.apk out of system/app/ (I backed it up in another folder just in case)
2. Install the Googleeditioncamera.apk from your preferred mirror here
3. Take pictures!

Side notes- Some advanced options are not included in this stock app- Shutter sound cannot be disabled, and you cannot change the camera to save to external storage, the options just arent there.. So if this is important to you, think twice about installing the apk. I've been using the camera on Vibrate mode and it's been silent for me, FYI.
If you find this useful, please hit the thanks button here and in the original thread linked above. Thanks!
How did you move Gallery2.apk out of the app folder? I tried using a file management app and it just gets stuck at 50%. I've also tried straight up deleting it and that doesn't work either. I am unable to access the root phone file through USB.
Thank you.

Try using a root file explorer on the phone set permissions on /system to RW, I use ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Alright - I used ES Flie Explorer to move the file to another location as backup, but Gallery2.apk is still there and cannot be deleted. /system is also Readable and Writeable.
EDIT: I went into the terminal and did the following commands;
su
chmod 777 system/app
but received "Unable to chmod system/app: Read-only file system"

Which rom are you on? Are you running this as root? If you are on a root'ed rom and /system is mounted as RW then you should be able to delete the app from ES File Explorer in the root file explorer.
