[SCRIPT] shellpaste v0.4

This is a handy little shell script I wrote today that I used to copy files to /system/app folder. This is the first thing I ever wrote for Android so I don't know if anyone has any use for this but there ya go.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To use simply download the shellpaste.txt from below and rename it to shellpaste.sh. Put the file in the root of your SD card then go to android terminal and type the following:
Code:
sh /sdcard/shellpaste.sh
Changelog:
Code:
shellpaste v0.4

Awesome! Hope it serves you well.

small scripts, medium tricks, big handy

Does this address permissioning after the file(s) are copied?
No offense, but yours seems like a rather convoluted method when you've got things like adb push or just drag and drop from the PC. If the apk is already on your phone, then you need only do a cut and paste to /system (with, say, Root Explorer) and then set permissions. Done.
Also, it's not very flexible. What if I want to copy to /data? Another script??

None taken. The script changes the permissions to r/w, copies the file, then changes it back to read-only. As I said, this was just a script I wrote to help me with what I needed to do at the time. Maybe I'll write a new version that supports any folder the user chooses.. I agree, it's not exactly an elegant solution but I'm a complete noob at this. You gotta start somewhere, right?
Edit: Also, I am completely open to feature suggestions. So if there's anything more advanced you guys would like to see in newer versions feel free to post. I'm using this as a tool to learn as much as possible.

I don't mean permissions at the f/s mount level, I mean permissions at the file level (i.e. chmod).
If you're copying an apk to /system/app, then eventually you'll need to chmod it to 644 before it will execute properly. Maybe I'm missing something, but copying an apk from SD card to /system isn't going to do this for you automatically.

I have a suggestion to your script
Example: I pushed a systemUI.apk in system/app folder through adb now when you look at your phone the statusbar dissappears, of course because of push, now can you make a script to rerun the apk or execute it, like mounting it dunno the exact word, so that you won't have to reboot your phone to see your statusbar again, instead just run it like windows run. This is usefull if your modding the APK.

Gotcha. Completely forgot about chmod.
I'll try to make it reinstall the systemui.apk without rebooting but could use some pointers on how to achieve this.
Edit:
Made a new version that supports mounting of all folders and added chmod into the mix. Should work properly now.

I've never used android scripts before but I'm guessing you could just do
exec /system/app/whatever.apk
But idk on that one.

I do exactly this on the WildChild ROM, using pm disable/enable.
It's a method I came up with by myself (so, it's not very elegant but it gets the job done ). There might be other ways of doing it, but I haven't seen any yet.

Disable MMS slideshow (solved)

Does anyone know how to change the default for MMS pictures to not show in slideshow? I had it set that way on my GS3, but it was a ROM feature (the devils reject). Is there any way to do this on a note2?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Thank you enewman17 for the answer!

Do you add a text file to the folder or do I need to figure out how to open the system in a terminal? I am familiar with terminal in Ubuntu, but have not taken the time to root or learn android particulars as all the features I want are already available. Maybe I need to learn to get rid of bloatware.
A quick step by step would be great if you have the time. With thousands of people trying to get rid of the slide show mms why the hell is it still around? I hate it on the Note 2 and my Atrix didn't have it.

You will need a program like Root Explorer to find the xml file in the OP. When he says "Adding this into system/csc/feature does the trick.", feature is actually feature.xml and it's located in the /system/csc directory. With root explorer you can browse to this directory and mount it as R/W to edit the feature.xml file. Once mounted as R/W, open feature.xml in a text editor (integrated in Root Explorer).
Once editing feature.xml, just scroll down to the message options and add the line in the OP. I did this by copying the text on my PC, sending myself a hangouts message, and then copying the message text on my phone. Then I pasted the copied text into the Root Explorer text editor window, menu->save and exit, then Mount R/O in root explorer. Reboot and you should be able to open MMS in non-slideshow mode.
See attached screenshots for reference.

Hey sorry to revive this thread, I am on Verizon with a Galaxy S4 and have this same issue... see below -- adding that text ( i am rooted ) did not solve the issue.
Do others have this issue?
MMS messages with text/image come in as a slideshow. Instead of showing the picture and text inside the messaging thread it displays a PLAY (
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

) icon and then starts a slideshow.

When I use the root explorer and check the /system directory I don't see a csc folder. Is the folder hidden?

[share][guide]how to set file permission?

Hi all,
some people dont know how to set file permission after push the file/apk etc.. so i share this guide to all...
Big thanks to Sun90 because let me to share his guide...
Sun90 said:
Hey Guys i have often seen lot of Question regarding the same "How to set the file permission,sorry i am a noob please explain?"
well this we come across on all threads, at some given point of time.
Reason being simple that we suggest some people to do as said below:
Hey,
1) copy the file XXXX to your Internal or External sd-card.
2) push the file XXXX to sytem/xxxx folder.
3) set permissions to rw-r--r-- blah blah blah.
4) reboot your phone and see.
Then comes the question again from the same people as below:
Hey,
1) I have done accordingly, but really confused regarding File permission though please explain?
2) How to set File Permission?
3) what is rw-r--r-- blah blah i cannot get it? etc.
So this Simple Guide will defenetly help the people with the same.
Let me not go in depth regarding the same,Since this excellent Tutorial from Matt Doyle explain's in more detail about it
Understanding File Permissions- by Matt Doyle
In order to set the file permission all you need is to have Root explore/Browser or similar type of File manager app been installed on your phone, with Root access.
when you open the File manager you see all your files and folder listed there, thats not our main concern, but something below each one of those file's or folder's, what we are really interested in like:
under say Data folder you see something like 'rwxrwx--x' which is of real concern here.
when you long press on the same Data Folder a pop appears as below
Fig 1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and when you select Permissions in that pop up menu it appears as below.
Fig 2
as you can see in the pic above the permission is set to 'rwxrwx--x' (771 according to Table below)
So in order to set the right Permission for a file, after you have copied the file to the relavent folder, all you have to follow is the below steps and also the Table guide below it.
1)Any File Manager app like Root Explorer/Browser,Es-file explorer installed with root access (Do ensure to Mount as R/W (Read/Write)).
2)Find the File which you have copied to the appropriate Folder for which you have to set Permissions with the above installed file manager app.
3) Long press on the file to open a pop up menu as shown in Fig 1 above.
4)Set Permission accordingly ( been suggested by people for you) using the table guide below as reference.
5) Then reboot your phone for the same (Permission set) to take effect.
Table Guide for Reference
----------------------------------
No- Box is Unchecked, Yes- Box Checked
So, for example:
777 is the same as rwxrwxrwx
755 is the same as rwxr-xr-x
666 is the same as rw-rw-rw- and so on.
I do hope this Guide will come in handy to all those people who want to set filepermission, but need some clarity upon the same.
All Credit to Matt Doyle for his Excellent Tutorial on 'Understanding File Permissions' which being an inspiration for me to make this Guide.
And also like to Thank the XDA for this wonderfull Knowledge based Site.
All constructive Comments to improve the same by my fellow Member's are Welcome

Yeah...that's why I mentioned trying an older, more stable version of ES. BETA can do weird things. (The link you provided brings me to 3.2.5.5...where is 4.0.1?) I'm on 3.2.5.5 and all is well...maybe try 3.2.5.4?
Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help.
