Does anyone know how to alter the planebank.XML file so you can alter plane powers etc I can get to it with astro but it wont let me save my alterations?

You can use estrongs file manager for that, be sure you enable root explorer and mount the system partition in the settings menu of the app,
Be sure to make a nandroid backup or something before messing with system files.
Edit: ih that file isnt in the system partition. I guess estrongs will still do the job but you then dont need to mount the system partition

Thanks for your reply but estrong does not read the particular asec file only astro does? But wont save what I alter?

Totally would like to know!
Sometime I forget there is a main page on xda. That is a sweet bootup animation, but when I put the .zip onto my card and try to flash it I get a fail message. Can anybody make this flashable for the epic?

You need to take the bootanimation.zip and replace the one in data/system using a file browser that allows r/w permissions.

I have root explorer and I've just started to touch on the r/w method. So which file am I over writing? Or deleteing?

Adding Audio
The animation looks great! I was wondering how to add a sound to the bootup. I've read to just throw an audio_android.mp3 into /system/media, but that isn't doing anything for me.

i broke down and bought root explorer and did what they said. there is a toggle in root explorer that does R/O and R/W and if you long press a file (like .zip or .apk) permissions will be in the sub menu select it (permissions isn't in the free version) there is a 3x3 grid of check boxes and most of them are selected, select them all. then long press the item and select move.
the boot zip goes to system/media paste it asks if you're sure say yes, if it says it's read only toggle that little button on the right hand corner to r/w and try paste again.
to change the MMS to black and bubbless (iphone esh) same thing only paste it in the system/apps and paste
reboot, look at your new splash screen and minimal MMS
i tried the free stuff but having to toggle between two apps was a pain and I've been using root explorer for installing transparent .apk and moving files around so it's paid for it's self. Even though i tried to buy it / refund it after i was done with it.

Where did you obtain the files to work on the boot up screen? How well is yours still working? (This next one is a bum questuon) any chance of providing your end product? I'm curious to what this boot screen looks like and couldn't find anything on the article about it.
Thanks for the reply!!!

I find using adb while hooked to a computer is the easiest for filesystem modifications. That's mainly because I'm really used to linux in general though, command lines are fairly easy for me to use

Yeah, im also wondering bout that cuz ive been trying to figure out how to implement sound on my boot but had no success! ill try that but is their any method to implent sound on there, or do i just rename the mp3 file i want in there with poweron.wave? or how do i do that? and for flashing boot animation with sound? how can i go bout that?
Im currently on the CWM 3 with SyndicateRom Twilight 1.1.0 on my Epic 4G
Best Choice ive ever made, Epic has never been so smoothly and super fast
Do you have to be running a modded kernel or something to get this working? I looked in /data/system and /system/media and don't have a bootanimation.zip to overwrite. I am stock rom and kernel with root.

is it possible to restore stock apps in galaxy ote n7000 without resettind it...??
Yes you need root and a tool like root explorer. Just take apks out of rom and place in system apps.
Check that they have same permissions as other apps, rw and such and click them to install. Not sure if they install themselves with a reboot.

Open Root Explorer.
Scroll Down to System/app
You will see all applications there. Just Copy and paste to your external SD Card. When you want to restore just paste them to System/app using root explorer and set permissions as rw-r-r and reboot

How you set the permissions? Post a ss if you can.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Ok, download rom you want to restore from, usually a zip file, unzip it. Then with root explorer navigate to tar. Md5 file and open it, you might need to rename to tar file only, then within that search for a fokder that contains the apk you want, extract them, or copy them outside tar file then to your system app location etc etc

Just keep file pressed when selecting, then menu opsbup and scroll in menu to option permissions. Then select those according to permissions set inother files.
All this in root explorer. Not sure if a fix permissions from cwm recovery fixes this. Never tested it.

You might need to mount system/apps as read write r/w. That is a button on top left of screen when you are in that folder, just set it back when done

I'll teach you how to fish instead of giving it to you.
There is a website called google.com type your query there, together with e.g android, or xda or both, and youre sure to find your answers to almost any question.
Might need to query with different phrases or order of words, sometimes in steps.
Thats how I figured out last time. Sorry I wasnt able to answer stepwise step for step. maybe you make a tutorial with print screens, for future users that have same question
Damn I suck at explaining

if you are on stock there is must be an option for it in sounds category
if on custom it depends on kernel

I'm on stock rom but there isn't any options. Honestly, I prefer muting all sounds except calls in silent mode.
go to sys/class/timed_output/vibrator
if you can see "duty" named file then open it with a text editor
and type 40903 and save it

hi guys,
my .thumbdata in sdcard0/DCIM/.thumbnails increases in size until i am out of memory .its current size is 1.07 GB each ( i have 2 .thumbdata files). how to stop gallery from creating those huge files?
Copy the name of that .thumbdata file.
Now delete it and create a new file (or use any other file of small size) and rename it to the name of that .thumbdata file you delete.
This worked for me, hope it works for you too..
Sent from my GT-I9070 using Tapatalk
That's correct @dagger.
I think that file was related with pic preview directly from camera app, when you click on little thumbnail.
When I deleted it, camera stopped working and that thumbnail was blank until file was recreated, then it worked again (with 2GB pictures and a 2,5 GB .thumbdata!)
Now creating the folder with the same name of file stopped that huge file from recreating himself.
I think camera now refers directly to thumbnail files (in thumbnails folder) for preview. Or, if not, that's the same because now I have 2.5GB more on my internal SD!

i copied the file name and created a file using root explorer. in fact, if i do not restart my phone the file size will remain 0 bytes. on the other hand if i restart it the file size is 1.07 gb again
