Using terminal and the su
I want to edit a file in text mode, Tried nano, edit and no go, is there a built in text editor command to use on files in terminal mode.?

Install better terminal emulator or build a kernel with nano support.

Development? Really?

Why is it so hard to post in correct forums?
I mean why is it so hard to understand that this forum is for posting dev projects only. General discussion or questions goes in the Q&A/general forums!

in order to install modules
first download the module you want to install.
then with the help of root explorer put that module into
/system/lib/modules
(do not forget to click on remount as rw on the top left corner of root explorer)
once done this,
go to /system/etc/hwconfig.sh
long press on that and then choose open file as text editor
now in the beginning of file type
insmod /system/lib/modules/modulename.ko
(here modulename means the name of module you want to install...
now
go to terminal emmulator and type
su ( in order to initiate super user request)
dmesg | grep modulename
press enter
then reboot and you are done.
Press thanks if I helped

falkdroid, a simpe Linux/Fedora Tool for Android Device

First of all i want to apologize for my bad english
This is my first post and I hope to write well in the right category and in the right way.
In my spare time I wrote a small tool script to manage Android devices from Linux, in particular I have created a rpm package for fedora.
If any of you is interested I'm looking for people to test it and can help me to create a .deb package for debian/ubuntu.
here the link for screenshots and script features.
If you are interested contact me on google+
I ran the tests only with lg dual (2X) model GB and ICS version.
Thanks
but, what is what can really be done with your script?

[Q] Command line tools on sense

I have been searching around with little luck. Is there a flashable zip floating around that has some basic command line tools (htop, rsync, openvpn) for our device (Sense based). I know these are included in CM roms and some other aosp's.
EDIT: I know Terminal IDE in the appstore has this but that's not what I am looking for.

Try using busybox installer from the market and using advance install to add symlinks for the additional applets that you need.

[MOD][SMALI] Enable Native AT&T / Tmobile WiFi Hotspot[MOD][SMALI]

Guide: Howto enable Native AT&T / Tmobile WiFi Hotspot​
Locate stock/unmoddified TetheringProvision.apk
This apk is located in /system/app folder from almost any Stock Samsung ROM
Or pull from your device.
connect your device to your PC
Make sure you have the appropriate USB drivers installed
make sure Android SDK Tools are installed
cd to the platform-tools folder in the SDK location
start a command prompt in the Platform-Tools folder
adb pull /system/app/TetheringProvision.apk
Using available tools to decompile and recompile the apk
I recommend either Virtuous Ten Studio or APK-Multi-Tool for this task as
either provide an easy to use interface for working with apk edits.
I'm not placing download links here for either just do a google search and
you will easily find either one.
Decompile the TetheringProvision.apk
Once you have the apk decompiled browse to the folder containing
all of the decompiled code (You will need to be in the smali folder).
locate and edit "TetheringProvisionActivity$TetheringPlanCheckTask.smali" (com/sec/tetheringprovision)
For AT&T WiFi Hotspot
search for "entitlement.mobile.att.net" and replace with "stacra.byethost7.com"
search for all instances of "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/mhs1" and replace with "http://stacra.byethost7.com/tether/"
search for all instances of "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/teth" and replace with "http://stacra.byethost7.com/tether/"
For Tmobile WiFi Hotspot
search for all instances of "http://selfhelp.geo.t-mobile.com/myaccountservice/selfhelp/hastetheringoption"
and replace with "http://stacra.byethost7.com/tether/"
See code snippet below for example (not complete code)
The lines you will be looking for are highlighted in blue.
Code:
.prologue
.line 1116
iput-object p1, p0, Lcom/sec/tetheringprovision/TetheringProvisionActivity$TetheringPlanCheckTask;->this$0:Lcom/sec/tetheringprovision/TetheringProvisionActivity;
invoke-direct {p0}, Landroid/os/AsyncTask;-><init>()V
.line 1117
const-string v0, [COLOR="Blue"]"http://selfhelp.geo.t-mobile.com/myaccountservice/selfhelp/hastetheringoption"[/COLOR]
iput-object v0, p0, Lcom/sec/tetheringprovision/TetheringProvisionActivity$TetheringPlanCheckTask;->TMobileTetheringPlanCheckURL:Ljava/lang/String;
.line 1118
const-string v0,[COLOR="Blue"] "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/teth"[/COLOR]
iput-object v0, p0, Lcom/sec/tetheringprovision/TetheringProvisionActivity$TetheringPlanCheckTask;->ATTTetheringPlanCheckURL:Ljava/lang/String;
.line 1119
const-string v0,[COLOR="Blue"] "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/mhs1"[/COLOR]
iput-object v0, p0, Lcom/sec/tetheringprovision/TetheringProvisionActivity$TetheringPlanCheckTask;->ATTMHSPlanCheckURL:Ljava
/lang/String;
...
...
...
Once you have located and replaced all the required lines in the smali save the file and recompile your apk following the instructions provided by whatever method you choose to work with
DO NOT SIGN THE APK LEAVE THE EXISTING SIGNATURE IN PLACE
Push the apk back to your device and reboot, test to verify working Hotspot.
Thanks
Thanks to @scrosler over at the LG forums for the original code of this patch
it has been changed and revised a few times since the original port by me over
in the HTC Forums.

check post #2 Here
Look, I think you should improve the guide only works for at&t and tmobile.
I modified "TetheringProvision" in this guide and nothing, the same error: "Mobile data is not avaible or invalid SIM". Does not work with another carrier other than att or tmobile.
The only way that works for me is to replace the apk dirty "TetheringProvision" method Galaxy S4.
Corroborate if someone worked with different operator, for example, movistar latin america or other provider other country.

obviously your carrier uses different methods to provision tethering, if you can tell me what methods they use i might be able to adjust for it
and P.S. if you can read you would see it says AT&T or Tmobile, i only offered as a hope that maybe other carriers used the same methods, so if you want me to look into it might try asking nicely.

no problem, however the effort is appreciated.
do not know how could fix the code so that it works for another operator.
It should be something generic to accept any carrier.
Well for now the problem is solved just replace the apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/mobile-hotsoit-carrier-t2801876

i compared that apk to ours and it is not even close in code, not sure what kind of effect this will have in our devices as far as att and tmobile go
there where to many differences to sort through to determine what was needed. sorry

MY PHONE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung Galaxy S5 from AT&T

Android version: 4.4.2
Using Grand Fathered unlimited data plan
PREREQUISITES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Root Samsung Galaxy S5 using Towelroot.
- see MY PHONE above
* Download/Install "Virtuous Ten Studio" (VTS): a free tool used to decompile, edit, and recompile apk files.
* Use adb to pull TetheringProvision.apk from phone to PC
* Patch TetheringProvision.apk pulled from the phone using using the VTS tool
-- edited apk files per instructions in THIS THREAD.
-- for VTS settings use advanced, use original signature of apk, ...
* USING Root Explorer create /sdcard/myPatch1/
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
adb push myPatch1/TetheringProvision.apk /sdcard/myPatch1/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
mv TetheringProvision.apk TetheringProvision.apk.bk20140719_stock_442

cd /sdcard/myPatch1
cp TetheringProvision.apk /system/app/TetheringProvision.apk
cd /system/app
cp TetheringProvision.apk TetheringProvision.apk.bk20140719_myPatch1
chmod 644 TetheringProvision*
ls -la | grep TetheringProvision.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system

NOTES:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* To make the above work, I added line
"mv TetheringProvision.odex TetheringProvision.odex.bk20140719_stock_442"

Why can't you just post the modified .apk for att and T-Mobile?
No modifications to my code without roper recognition
I'm normally a pretty easy going kind of guy, but sometimes I get a little testy when certain things happen, so I'm only going to say this once.
IF YOU USE MY WORK OR MODIFY IT IN ANY FASHION YOU MUST ASK MY PERMISSION FIRST, AND IN NO WAY OR FASHION ARE YOU ALLOWED TO REPOST YOUR MODIFICATIONS IN MY THREAD.
This includes creating patches for other systems, patches for same systems at request of other members etc.
If this happens again I will give proper warning and then I will close and delete the thread and that will be that.
This is an awesome community way beyond expectations however, I am a stickler for protocol, if you ask I'll will give permission 100% of the time as long as it is mine to give.

lol i learned how to build roms before decompiling apks as i find it easier.. i guess youre suppose to be smart enough to pull the apk, decompile the apk, edit the apk, recompile the apk and possibly sign it afterwards in order to use this MOD! Good Luck! Without a pre modded apk I will hafta wait until the weekend to ask for permission to include in my ATT ROM

really? Seriously? This is probably one of the easiest mods EVER, and since this mod can be adopted accross carriers posting a "premodded apk" would be time consuming as i would have to have the specific apk from every carrier.
THIS IS a thread on HowTo not a thread on Here you go have it...
P.S. if your building a ROM to post in the forums might be a good idea not to ruffle the feathers of the DEVS whose work you want to include.

I do not own an ATT s5.. I have a vzw s5.. searching online you can find similar MOD for tethering that has been around for some time with the same exact edits as your MOD. Either way I am sorry if I offended you. I just feel it would be easier for ATT owners to have a modded apk that they can use for their ATT roms considering this is the ATT thread.. What youre implying is no one can take your mod edit (most likely found from someone else) and make an apk for others to use who do not have the ability to do it themselves. Android is about being open source and sharing with the community not providing a mod that is easily found throughout these forums and saying no one else can use it or post an apk without your permission or knowledge of how to make the edits in the first place.
Again, i am glad for what you do but a mod that has been around for some time isnt something one can claim as theres just because theyre first to post in a certain thread.
And all i was saying is why not post a modded apk or let someone else just with the att apk for att users in this thread? Not to go and make one for every device.. but hey, i will not add your mod to any rom I work on.. I will find one of the other devs MOD and give them the cred.
edit: here is the same mod from over a year ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278259
Of course you used a different server address but the mod is the same. You only need to direct the mod to a server that enables the hotspot to be turned on.

read the OP, it says where the mod came from scrossler over in the LG forums,(which by the way is the original mod this is based on) the design of this mod is different than his and has more edits. so yes this is based on his mod but is my work. i highly doubt you found lots of mods with the exact same edits as the edits in my mod point to my specific servers and are handled differently than others.
I am not posting a modded apk nor will I this thread is a guide on how to do it yourself.
nuff said thread closed.
AND P.S. THIS MOD IS ONLY FOR AT&T AND TMOBILE, NOT FOR VERIZON.

Unpacking Kodi APK and repacking with user build

Hi,
I am looking to unpack the Kodi APK and repack it along with my custom build.
I want to avoid the whole file manager > add source > install from zip. etc
I want an apk of kodi so that when it is installed, it is already installed with my build.
please could someone help me get to this position, I have very little knowledge of app building etc but I am a keen learner and quite on the ball - even if someone knows instructions to follow that would be great.
I understand the trademarks surrounding kodi and I know that I need to make my build 'unaffiliated' with kodi
forgive my ignorance if I have broken any forum rules, this being my first post.
thank you - Craig
