[Q] gps.conf file gone

Hi there. I have used VISIONary + to root my DHD just to change the gps.conf into my nearest NTP.
But now I do not know where is the gps.conf file gone to. It is now totally missing from my device. Even using the search engine I am unable to find it.
Unrooting back the device also makes no difference (i.e. still missing).
Where go wrong??
Can I find any other ways to create back that file??
the gps.conf file is located in /system/etc/ you cannot search for it, you also need a root enabled file explorer in order to see it

Acer Iconia A100 3.2 honeycomb bootanimation location

can someone please tell me where the bootanimation.zip folder is? I've looked in data/ but no local folder? Ive found one in system/bin? I've tried esrooted explorer and adb pull/push to data/loca and it saya no such file or directory? I cant seem to replace the one i found in system/bin. My tab is rooted and im no newb but thisone has me stumped. I might try adb for the system/bin but i thought I'd ask first. Any suggestions?

Just place it in data/local and change the permissions.. There is no boot animation file there to replace.
No idea how to add sound to it, found a bootsound.wav file and replaced it but no go

The file you are looking for is android_audio.mp3 ... rename that... your boot sound will go.. or put in the file you want renamed as android_audio.mp3 and you will have your boot sound

That's the sound file i looked for that's the standard file you would change for the boot sound. The only sound file i found was bootaudio.wav, but that didn't work. Do you know where to find that, where is it located?

Mod roms using 7zip but on the phone?

My laptop broke,i usually mod my roms using 7zip,i remove or add apk files and more.
Is there any way to do this on the phone?I dont know of any compression apps in the market that will let me add or delete files while leaving the rom intact.
If i just unzip the rom,mod it and rezip it,will it work?Or it needs to be a certain zip format?
Use any file explorer that allows you to unzip/rezip
As long as you navigate back to the original file structure (usually /system, META-INF folders and boot.img) and zip up those three you'll be fine and be able to flash your modified zip in a custom recovery
I'm not familiar with any program able to properly decompile an apk or jar by using JUST the phone but if your just adding/deleting apk's you'll be good with just about any file explorer

What about the compression method?Should i choose High,Low or Medium?
And are you sure it doesnt have to have some special zip method?Dont want to brick,lol.
Thats what i was thinking just to use ES File Explore because it has built in zipl.

I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
Download the added root apk from the developers website. Extract the ROM you wanna modify, navigate to the extracted ROM and do whatever, then navigate to the original file structure and zip up those contents to flash in recovery
If there are different options for zip just use the defaults

Thanx a lot man,it worked!ES Explorer can only compress folders but FX Explorer can compress saperate files.I used higest compression.
Now i feel like i dont need windows or osx anymore,i can do just about everything on android.Oh and FX Explorer is definetly nice,i might use it instead of ES now,to bad they make you pay for it.

[Q] Trouble with hacked 4g hotspot opening certain web pages

So here is my problem.
When using my hotspot on my Win8 computer, it wont let me click through certain webpages like cashback websites like bigcrumbs and ebates and gets stuck on the redirection pages like "anrdoezrs.net" when tranfering me to a specific website. It won't fuly transfer me through to the store I want to gain cashback at.
I recently got the new computer with Win8 on it. Now that I have have tried my hotspot on multiple Win8 computers with it not working, I'm assuming it must be the problem. It ran perfectly with Win7 beforehand.
I am currently running [ROM]Phantom's Blazer Rom[Yo][8/2/12][v0.1.5][FF18]
I did notice on the tethering options of my phone that it did not list that it supported Win8. (Yet it does work for mostly all of the websites except the ones I'm speaking of).
Is there a way to fix my problem with the Rom version I'm running right now? (I know its a little outdated).
Do I need to update to a newer version of the Blazer rom? Or should I get a different rom?
(I need to have a rom that has the 4g hacked hotspot and it need to be able to be used with my PS3 for online gaming as well).
Thanks for listening
Do you have adblockers on your phone? This may be the problem.

Blazer rom has it built in. Delete system/etc/hosts file (filename is hosts) with a root browser. If you need it back, I posted an updated one here:

Root explorer is my personal choice as well as many others.
What TD meant, a root browser that will properly read the root directory. Some file browsers fail at that.

Root Explorer on the market is $3.99. Anything free available? Right below it there is a "ES File Explorer File Manager" which is free. Will that work?

Can't figure out where to go still.
I downloaded Rom Toolbox Light.
Then went to system, then to etc, THEN I get the option between "HOSTS" and the one under it is also "hosts".
They both have similar files in them, "text file, image file, music file, video file, zip file, APK file, script file"
Where do I go from her now? And what do I do?
Bump!!!

Bump some moar? Read some moar?
Seriously though, it's a text file. Just delete it or delete its contents.
Also, I believe using your phone as a hotspot without paying for it is violating your TOS. It's a good way to get kicked off the network.

[Q] Unable to Edit System Files Using any File Explorer

So this is a problem I've had basically since day one with my Nexus 7. No matter what file explorer I use, I can not edit anything in the root directories. Unable to save build.prop edits for example. I am assuming it is a permission thing but I have no idea exactly what I am doing wrong or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted? If you are - check to see if you are in read only mode in your file manager(s)
Besides requiring root, apps like ES File Explorer need to have root access turned on. Root Explorer needs a directory mounted as R/W.
Best practice, anyway, is to copy a file (especially build.prop) to a regular directory under /sdcard, edit it there, rename the original, then copy back the modified file.
I managed to figure it out. Was using cm file explorer and root browser. Got root browser working by changing permissions on the system folder.
I always copy files into the internal storage before editing. Thanks for the replies.
