Hi everyone in the Pixel XL section,
I have a little request in terms of the /persist folder of the Pixel XL as I don't own one.
So as the title just says I'm developing an app which gives the user the ability to change its MAC address. I'm still looking forward to port new devices to my app, but as I still got only 1.6k views on my thread and there are two users who installed the app from the play store with an Pixel XL, I want to ask if someone here could do the following steps.
1. Is there a /persist folder?
2. If so is there a wlan_mac.bin file In it? (Or a .macaddr In /persist/wlan/)
3. What's the content of the file?
4. If it seems like a Mac address could you change the first two letters to 00?
5. What happens after a reboot?
If 1st not true check if there is a few folder or so.
Thanks in advance
Did you figure out how to change MAC on pixel XL?
Found your app. Thanks.
Doesnt seem like the MAC change is sticking. It disconnects my wifi then reconnects with the original MAC.
i did not see a '/persist' folder.

I want to change the group for file wpa_supplicant.conf which i edited for internal use of wireless of our school. After editing it gave the permissions to root, which i want to change to wifi.
When i do "chgrp wifi wpa_supplicant.conf" the outcome is: chgrp: unknown group wifi
How can i fix this as i dont know how to edit/make groups under Android system
I have exactly the same problem.
I have root access using "UniversalAndroot".
Anyone an idea how to change the group to wifi?
newgrp wifi does not work.
POSSIBLE FIX:
chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf seem to work.
[Q] Unknown group wifi - Is there any solution?
I am doing this on my XPERIA X10 mini
I too am looking for a solution to this problem.
On editing the file, the permissions changed to root:root.
With the owner:group as root:root, I am not able to enable wifi.
I have changed the owner to system, but unable to change the group to wifi like it was (before I edited this file).
In case anyone has found out please let me know.
I shall look into this further and post my findings.

X10 mini - Rooted
Try "chgrp 1010 wpa_supplicant.conf".
For every group/user IDs look here: http://code.google.com/p/yaffey/source/browse/AndroidIDs.h

Hey thanks a lot for the heads up! I just had a question... Can we really change the intro animation..? I mean completely replace it..? Or is that not possible??
Reply soon....
Hi all, I find the file /User/OspSys/LifeLog/Database/lifelog.db.
It's SQLite (view by sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net )
There are many information, calls, deleted messages (but only 100 chars).
I hope, it's information isn't send anywhere, because my wave is trying to connect once a day (it's maybe one of the widget)

hi, today I just gave a quick look to all files, but I think it's possible, in PowerOnOff.ini there are clear bindings to two .swf files and a startup / shutdown .wav sound contained in the resource path Phone:/SystemFS/PowerOnOff not sure, need to watch those files, I'll verify in next days..

Yes, you can change this too in Trix but in fact nothing change. Exp. you can't change "volume level" (exp. in MediaPlayer there is limit to 14 steps, if you change that to 15 steps and add one more <spklevel> and <earlevel>-so that there will be 15 steps, but nothing change in Wave, you can still able go to max. 14 steps in MediaPlayer) and you can't change that may mp3 playing miusic lauder as well as playing video, even if you copy and paste settings from VideoPlayer to MediaPlayer (only test that on speaker not on headphones).
In Registry\MainMenu_reg.ini you can remove any icons from the main menu (except SamsungApps). The file format is clear, I will note only that the system items will have MenuType=0, custom user applications - MenuType=1, SamsungApps - MenuType=2.
And, of course, make a backup before any manipulations with MainMenu_reg.ini
to be clear
adfree had made all those expermintes before & we already know these things
if there is something new please post it

Unfortunately I have not found anything like that using tkFileExplorer...
Assuming that replacing original browser it's difficult to do, source code is available (http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_list&menu_item=mobile thanks to sabianadmin) but the browser seems deeply integrated in the os files (also notice that Samsung Dolfin is not the open source browser Dolphin..): is there anyone who found in filesystem files the textures used by the browser GUI? if aren't cripted it will be possibile to change them for having a more usable GUI on our little screen (I'm thinking of upper/lower bars..)

I think the browser user interface might be in the file called BrowserAppControl.so which can be found in the SystemFS>Osp folder. All files in that folder are in .so formats. But they are RSA 1024bit signed. And they are not like other settings in phones which are written in html or xml. These files are similar to the .dll files on Windows. .so files are Linux format files.
Is there anyway to modify an *.ini file to enable "Noise Reduction" to always be on during calls?

i got the same error
im running the latest firmware s8530DXKB1/s8530OLBKB1
you have to specify the port you are using for connection from settings
in Phone:/SystemFS/Driver/CameraCaps/DevCamDeviceCapsNConfig_Primary.xml
you can change max ISO and max resolution parameters for phone camera, so you can set iso1600 or 8mp for photos, probably it is useless but it's still a hack
thanks to: http://www.badaitalia.com/2011/06/13/fotografie-con-poca-luce-a-iso-1600/
(on Bada 1.0.2 this system folder is missing so it's not possible..)
Yeah, I read it. Tonight I'll try and I'll let you know.
Hi all!
First, I'm registered now with pleasure because I like this forum, congratulation!
Now I ask for a problem with my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 with "Pacman 23.0.0 with Halo":
I created the famous directory to contain all my personal ringtones, and after reboot, I can't select any my personal mp3 sound because see only the system sounds.
Follow all my directory structure/tests:
Code:
/sdcard/ringtones/
/sdcard/media/ringtones/
/sdcard/audio/
/sdcard/music/
I try to insert an optional external sdcard but never change...
Something wrong?
Thanks
Regards
Daniele
If I'm right it should be
sdcard/media/ringtones/ -> for your ringtones
and
sdcard/media/notifications/
and so on...

Thanks for your reply, with S. Google I've been found, more or less, the same information but never work for me.
I thinking to edit some configuration file to change the environment variable path for media folder but this is only an idea and I don't know the right config file to edit.
Another work-round could be create a symlink.. I know move in a linux-like system but not know enough android..
Can some expert confirm or deny my idea?
Hello, could someone verify if G4 has hidden permission manager like G3?
G3 procedure:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-lg-stock-app-permission-manager-t3016122)
Please, sorry for my english!
Best regards.
Yes it does, Nice find I did not know this existed on the G4 since I didn't own a G3
Using this, one can also create a shortcut for the "Trusted Face" app, that AFAIK is hidden on the G4 by default. I haven't tested whether it actually works, but the app launches just fine (via com.android.facelock/com.android.facelock.SetupIntro).
You can also create this shortcut with Nova Launcher (activities).
Not like Xposed+Xprivacy this permissions manager will completely block the permissions and not feed the app with false data, this can cause the app to fc.
I've used the guide in the op but I can't find it for my LG G4, I am on the latest ROM/FW, 10B. Any help would be appreciated

When you open the app, in the activities tab scroll down to Settings (there are two, the first is lge., you need the second), then look for:
com.android.settings/
com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryAct ivity

To save the sanity of future readers, here's how to search:
Set search method to normal search and type Access Lock to find the activity.
That was the first thing I tried, it does not find the 'Access Lock', I found out that the reason behind this is that the phone language is not set to EN and thus 'Access' does not result in Access Lock. It finds the 'AccessoirySettingsActivity' setting but not the permissions manager.
For German language search for "Zugriff", thats how I found it on my phone.
The permission manager can be also opened via Google Gesture Search - just write Access Lock and it's there.
all the ones have rooted this tablet reported defective mirroring display, I found the solution on this forum, in a single post (semi-hidden), I think it must have a specific thread for the desperates are looking how to solve it.
install build.prop editor (or edit manually build.prop file),
add the line (where you want): wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
...and mirroring is on...
