Database Develop

Modify the default download location

Is it possible? Seems like it should be an easy task...

for the default browser? i dont believe there is a way. But i could be wrong.

Maybe it could be done by editing the database (I would suppose it's defined there), but what part about the default /sdcard/Download is not working for you?

I flash the CM nightlies and when I download them I constantly have to move them from the download folder to the root of the SD card so that I can flash them in recovery. Sometimes I forget to move it and I enter recovery and then clear cache and dalvik-cache and then realize that I forgot to move the file so I waste a lot of time booting back up again!

Block OTA (Beginners guide?)

adb shell, sqllite, build prop...Any other non-tech major people around here a little lost?
I'm rooted. I don't want the new update. I can follow directions but would be more comfortable if some basic instruction were written. Treat me like I'm 10.
It looks like the best way to do this is as follows:
"From this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874871
Attached is a working sqlite3 binary.
Copy it to /system/bin
(I transfered it to my SD, then used rootexplorer (mount R/W) to copy into /system/bin))
you will now be able to edit sqlite databases on the nook itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attached Files sqlite3.7z (11.9 KB, 56 views)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your terminal:
$ adb pull /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db devicemanager.db
$ sqlite3 devicemanager.db
sqlite> update registry set value='manual' where name='com.bn.device.fota.mode';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push devicemanager.db /data/data/com.bn.devicemanager/databases/devicemanager.db
$ adb reboot
"
Do I unzip the attached binary and paste that into the location or the .zip as a whole? What do I use as a terminal?
I've been flashing my DROID since day one but the NC development circle has been far from entry level user-friendly. Any help would be appreciated.

you can do it on windows too.
1) pull/get/copy the.db file from your phone to your pc
2) update the database file using sqlitebrowser. I.e run the sql command "update ......". Close sqlitebrowser.
3)push/put/copy the updated .db file to the same location overwriting the original.

Progress. However...
I got SQLite on my PC. I found the devicemanager file on my NC, pasted it to my SD card for transfer over to my PC for editing. I trasnferred the file over to my PC for editing. I open SQLite but have no idea how to use it.

I just did this today using sqlite editor only!!! Its a GUI so it real simple to use.
1.Install the apk
2.reboot
3.go to extras and launch sqlite editor
4.allow it, give it the permision it needs
5.look for DeviceManagerService
6.click on devicemanager.db
7.click on registry
8.look for _id 7, name>>>> "com.bn.device.fota.mode"
9.scroll to the right and click and hold value field "auto", until a little pop up shows and select edit field
10. Change the value from auto to manual
11. Save
Done!!!
If you need the apk here is a link I just made
?d=LTSQDZ65 for megaupload (sure u guys can piece it together!)
Let me know if it helped anyone!

Yes, we totally need another thread on this. I must note that pushing the build.prop in my thread and my two Nook Colors have not updated. Dunno about this method or others. Caveat emptor!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Very simple.

Thanks for breaking it down for us, nookme.
Do we need to do this if we are operating from an SD bootable Froyo or CM7 ROM?

In theory it should work for both, whether its a soft root mod or simply a bootable sd card that emulates froyo... It's a matter of just having root access and changing a registry setting on the device itself. Hope this shines some light! happy rooting ppl

Not noobie enough for me, sigh
So, if I have followed these directions from an earlier post have I messed something up? Not blocked updates at all? I don't understand the directions in this thread. What happens if I don't block the update? There must be a lot of people like me who had the technical skills to manage the root process but don't understand all of your coded instructions. I read in another thread that I should do a Titanium backup. How does that help after an update? Will market aps that have already been downloaded still work? Will everything revert to stock? Could someone explain what we should expect? Thanks!
To disable OTA (over the air) updates:
Change the name of this file: otacerts.zip to anything else
To do this, get root explorer ($3) from the market
Run root explorer
Go to etc/security/otacerts.zip
Hit the little mount button near the top to change r/w to r/o
Rename the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES
Hit the little mount button again to change r/o back to r/w

If you read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007551
you will see that the sqlite method is used by many and is the simplest way too, again this is a GUI, so no shell command line... How can this be difficult??
Just follow my steps... it works

I have had nothing but problems with my rooted NOOK Color due to B&N auto updates. I followed your instructions and now I hope my problems are resolved and my NOOK Color will never update again.
Thank you

Is there any way of modding cpuinfo_max_freq without custom kernel?

Is there any possibility of modding /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq without modding the kernel?
Just in case you don't know, cpuinfo_max_freq is the file that limits the maximum processor speed to 1000mhz.
cpuinfo_min_freq is the one that limits the minimum processor speed to 100mhz (i've no interest in modding that file).
I know i can acquire this with a custom kernel or by modding one myself, but i'd like to know if there's any way of doing this other than with a custom kernel.
Tried using root explorer and change permissions to write too apart from read and then modding, without success.
Tried changing permissions using root explorer and then using an init.d script
Tried a few more things, but so far none have worked.
Thanks

You did everything correct but one thing more open root explorer.
# Go to desire file (make sure you have it on rw)
# Now press and hold the file
# a menu will popup
# go to open in text editor and you can edit it
Enjoy

i have just tried it.. normally when i change any system file with text editor, i click on "save&exit" and it says it is saved and the original file is named as xxxxxxx.bak..
but this time there is no .bak file and the original file is not changing.. i write 1200000 but when i try to open it again it turns back into 1000000 ...

Tried that too. Root explorer says it's modded it but if you open it again, no change has been applied
Apparently, it's read only even after changing permissions.

or that file is modified by something else all the time.. obviously we have to change something else before that..

The kernel. Just wanted to find out if there was another way, it'd be much simpler than modding a kernel. It seems there isn't

Just a trial idea, copy that file to as card, then edit it. See if it saved then, then rename old one as xxxx.bak and paste the edited file there.
I can't do it as I am on a custom kernal and i am able to change it as I said.
Check it out and tell if that's any help

Its impossible, i tried this command on terminal: echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq it says permission denied (i was su)

Use Tegrak Overclock

Edit System Files
I have the same problem

think you have to edit the init.rc file

[Q] any way to get shot ?

is there any way to get shot of the auto screen brightness on my X8?
it really annoys me because i have the brightness turned upto full but the screen will only go at its brightest when its in high lighting conditions (obviously).
but i want it so its at its full brightness like its in bright lighting conditions. i dont care about battery life, i have 3 spare batteries for my X8.
so is there any way to disable it at all with hacks and stuff. the phone still has its original Android 2.1 on but is rooted to use a custom launcher.

Yea,just if u use a camera or something.
The brightness will not be seen if u just make a screen shot.

if you mean that you want to get rid of auto brightness then follow this procedure:
open root explorer
go to system folder
then go to lib
then hw folder
lights.shakira.so delete this module

Swip sd card on XPERIA ZR android 4.4.4

its a script to swap sd card and works on XPERIA ZR 4.4.4
1. Get root
2. download busybox from playstore and install it (skip this if ur having dual recovery installed )
3. download Universal Init.d from playstore and activate and verify
4. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget to backup your files!
5. Create a folder name 0 on ur sdcard
6. move all data from your internal storage to the 0 folder in your sd card
7. download and extrat the file to system/etc/init.d
9. Set permissions with all 9 ticks
10. Reboot
Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using any file manager

Any body have tried this?

Try the rebootfix before installing the script

Bootloop
Something went wrong and got stuck in bootloop, had to start the whole thing right from the begining(xperifirm-flashtool and so on.)..
Hope the reboot fix works.
Anyone else who have tried this?
Any other methods to follow?
