Attached some screenshots.
Requirements:
Windows OS (For vista & 7 please run as admin, for xp users, don't needed that), or Linux OS (only tested on Ubuntu, but tecnically should work on any linux OS)
Device Drivers
Java
On linux, chmod +x hw_editor.jar
You
Features:
Easy Editing Hw_config.sh
Automatic Backups
Easy Pull & Push, you just need to press a Button
Please be sure of connecting your device first to pc, and turn on USB debugging, otherwise the software will give you a lot of errors

@ All : Uploaded new version, now sets chmod 755 for hw_config.sh, and uses a sh script to mount and unmount rw, seems to be better this way , also need testers from other devices
i have problems :/ i press pull and sucessfully pulled then i press edit and i got message java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\temp.sh and then opens empty editor. backup map is empty. do i have to unzip to a particular place?
EDIT: i have it on desktop

Wait some time after pressing pull, and before pressing edit , also after you press pull please be sure if on C:\ are 2 files, one mountScript.sh and the another one temp.sh, please notify me
EDIT: Uploaded a new version with more sleep time (3sec after pressing pull)
no i dont get those files in C:\

Did you press pull first right ?, so it's really weird, try with the new one, and be sure that your device it's connected with debugging mode on, try open adb, and write adb start-server
yes i did.i have debugging mode on and usb storage on.i tried the new one with sleep 3. just one think where do i need to unzip those files? in Android SDK/tools or i can have it on my desktop.

You dont need to have USB storage on, but anyway i dont think that's the problem, it should work on any folder, for me works on any folder
EDIT: Wait what's your OS?
ok i tried with usb storage off, unzipet on desktop in xxxx folder. i start the Hw_Config Editor.jar press pull wait for message press ok. check in C:\ for those 2 files and they arent there. then press edit en same message for mising file. i dont know what is wrong maybe im too dumy for this hehe

o just for those who have antivirus protection turn it off before unpack zip an using the program.
D4rKn3sSyS, you really are making things easier for us.
BTW, downloaded this, got a virus warning message:
Trojan:Win32/Delfsnif.DX
Category: Trojan
Description: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I ignored it and allowed your awesome program to run. You might want to edit the first post to say that antivirus may give a false positive.
EDIT: For the extremely paranoid out there (D4rKn3sSyS is the man! Why doubt his program?), I ran the program through VirusTotal. RESULT: 5/ 42 (11.9%) returned "infected".
Works fine on mine, win 7 x64/x10 mini pro, using Avast free, no virus warning.
thx
Uploaded Linux version, tested on ubuntu, need testers on fedora and other linux OS
For linux, only will work on the root of your user Folder for ex: d4rk/files here

Sorry guys this no longer works...
Ubuntu removed alot of the files needed to run it on a phone off of their website which is why you are getting the errors on the script to try and install it.
Recapped:
Here's what I mean the website the script is going to to get the files no longer exists...
Heres an example to see for yourself: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/universe/t/tightvnc/tightvncserver_1.3.9-4_armel.deb
I will try and find a new link to plug in but for now it DOES NOT WORK!
Thank you for your patience on the thread,

-Disclaimer-
This has been tested on my phone and runs perfectly fine, I am not responsible for you breaking, bricking, or dropping your phone on the floor and causing the USB cable to fall out and blow up your device.
Pre Requirements:
A rooted HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
A S-off'd HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
netarchy's kernel (Silverneedle Test5)
Android SDK
The USB drivers for your phone. (x32) (x64)
A microSD Card
2.3 GB Free of space on your microSD card
Know how to read to directions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The intense Procedure:
1. Download this version of Ubuntu. [Download #1] [Download #2]
2. Unzip the Ubuntu folder to your desktop and if you want, delete the compressed one you downloaded.
3. On your phone go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging.
4. Plug in your USB cable (from your computer to your phone) and mount your (mirco)SD card.
5. Move or copy over the unzipped / normal Ubuntu folder. This will take a long time unless you have a class10 microSD card.
6. After moving / copying that file over, tell your phone to unmount the (micro)SD card / Set the phone to Charge Only mode.
7. Now on your computer, go to where you have Android SDK installed. (Example on my computer: E:\Program Files (X86)\Android\android-sdk )
8. When in the main SDK folder, hold shift and right click a blank area and then click on "open command window here". It should of opened the command line window with the directory of your SDK already put in. If not type cd "C:\Your directory or location of your SDK"
9. Now type "cd platform-tools"
9.5. (Optional) "type adb devices" and check if the computer recognizes your phone. If not you need to reinstall your drivers from the download link above in the requirements.
10. Type "adb shell"
11. Type "su" so we have superuser permissions
12. Type "cd /sdcard" so the directory is changed to the (micro)SD card
13. Type "cd ubuntu" so the directory is changed to the Ubuntu File
14. Type "sh ubuntu.sh" so we can install Ubuntu
15. Type "bootubuntu" to start up Ubuntu. Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type "bootubuntu" from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, there is no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
16. If you got "[email protected]" in the command line, you have sucessfully installed Ubuntu. If not make sure you installed netarchy's kernel. If it still does not install correctly please try a different ROM, I have only tested this on SteelROM 1.1. *AFTER INSTALLING ANY ROM, YOU NEED TO REINTALL THE KERNEL.*
17. Now type "apt-get update" to update Ubuntu to the latest version. Then "apt-get upgrade" to apply the update.
18. Type "apt-get install tightvncserver" to install the vncserver. (Your telling your phone to read off it self pretty much.)
19. Type "export USER=root" To make yourself a user / the user
20. Type "vncserver -geometry 1024×800" to set the screen resolution you want to display on your phone. Remember you can always zoom in by pinching, so you don't need to make this that much smaller. You should also get prompted to set a password, do so. You will need to remember this password to log in.
21. Download the AndroidVNC Viewer off the Market here.
22. Open the viewer, and put in a nickname, your PASSWORD FROM ABOVE, and for the IP Address put: 127.0.0.1 for the port put 5901. THEN SCROLL DOWN and make the COLOR FORMAT 24-bit colors (4bpp).
And finally, hit Connect to launch Ubuntu on your phone!
For Mac users:
Finder -> Applications -> Utilities (folder) -> Terminal
When you cd to where your adb is located, cd is lowercase as are most all unix commands.
If you're unsure where to go, get to adb in your Finder, right-click, get info, the pop-up will show you the path. Note in unix that the folders (subdirectories) are separated by / and not by \ like in Windows.
Once you're there, the only trick you need to know is to tell unix that adb is located where you are, so you change the adb shell command like this:
./adb shell
That's about it, all other instructions once you're inside the phone shell are the same.
OBTW - after the unzip of the initial file from the OP, just drag and drop the whole ubuntu folder to your NO NAME drive (normal sd card formatting doesn't get a name at the factory, so by now you know that your sd card mounts like that anyways I'd suppose - just put it here in case).

That's the script catted out.
I posted a different script a few pages back that I think will help you guys. I modified it so we should have no trouble with apps in sd.. I finally got a bigger sdcard so I can test this stuff and this script works great. Please guys try this script. If you download it in phone it will change the name and add a bin on it I think, so rename it accordingly and make sure it gets into /system/bin with the right permissions (755 or rwxr-xr-x), then run it

FAQS
FAQS
Do I need to have everything in the android-sdk downloaded and installed?
No, you just need to have the base sdk.
When I tell the command prompt to adb devices, my phone does not show up!!
Make sure you have installed the proper drivers for your phone and for your correct operating system
I'm not getting "[email protected]" when I type / copy-&-paste "bootubuntu"
Well, this could be for a various amount of reasons, first make sure you have a rooted HTC EVO 3D/Sensation. And by root, I mean a full root, not just a temp root or S-off. If you still do not get "[email protected]", flash your device (or go though your data folder and delete all the ubuntu files, then delete the ubuntu file off of your sd card and clear your caches.), and retry the above steps. If the problem still persists, then please PM me with your exact problem.
I'm having issues within the VNC, and I get an error message when I hit "connect".
Make sure you typed your password correctly, the passwords are case sensitive. If you still cannot get in, make sure your IP Adress is set to "127.0.0.1" and your Port(s) are "5901".
The colors on my screen look all weird and disorientated, how do I fix this?
Close Ubuntu, and re-open the VNC application, then scroll down to "Color Format" and tap on "24-bit color (4 bpp)".
The on-screen keyboard does not work and I get a different letter or character for whatever character I type!
The on-screen keyboard will work now, if you install LXDE.
I'm not good with reading text! I need a video demonstration!
For a video head here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbunTRzEQCI
How do I close Ubuntu?
Two options here:
1.Logout of the server and go to your homescreen and push menu, then go to settings, then Applications, then Running Services and close any remaining open part of the server program. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
2. Logout of the server and use your favorite task killer to close the server process. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
FAQS should be in order chronologically (until the end of them).
I would like to give a huge thanks to EarlyMon, for helping out lost members. This thread would not be as peaceful if it were not for him.
And it seems I have forgotten to list another VERY helpful person here, danaff37. I am really grateful to both of these two for all of the help and work they have done to aid others.
Am I missing a question that you are pretty sure is asked ALOT (lol)? Then PM me please and I'll get it up here ASAP!

Wow this is amazing! Never used linux before tho...
Haven't looked at the bootubuntu script yet, but I know a lot of these couldn't work if you had any apps on sdcard at all. Each app moved to sd takes a loop device.

Because Ubuntu has some computer applications you can't normally use on your phone. In the browser download Java and check out runescape runs like shizzle but once we get new quad phones out I'm sure it would run fine. lol

Using the stock apps to sd like under manage applications (like the same as is available on a non rooted phone). The script for ch rooting can be made to work around it though. But most aren't.

The only way to get around it atm (at the moment) is to use a bluetooth keyboard.
Very sweet! I will test this tomorrow when I get home. It should work on my ROM as well
Nice....can't wait for the keyboard fix.
UPDATED 12/23
---------------------------
1) Added automatic fixing of devicemanager.apk sql databases to prevent OTA root (thanks for the SQL tweak suggestions, Indirect)
2) Added otaban.sh script for those who are already rooted and just want to tweak the sql databases (you will need to put your device back in USB debug mode)
3) Added getroot.sh to just dump the nook back in to rooted/adb mode
INSTRUCTIONS
(Please follow these to the letter; over 500 people have downloaded this script and very few have reported issues)
On the NOOK
Disconnect from USB
Factory restore & initial setup
Browse to this:
http://goo.gl/vTNpJ
Click on notifications center, wait for the file to finish downloading.
Press on downloaded go_launcher_ex_v2.66.apk file
Select Complete action using package installer
It should say "install blocked"
Press settings
Tick unknown sources (press ok)
Pick Development
Tick USB debugging (press ok)
Tick the other USB debugging further down
Untick Automount
Back/Back
Connect the Nook to the MAC. On the nook you should see "USB debugging connected" in notifications center
On the MAC
Download the nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip file from http://goo.gl/qyYDB
Open Terminal, and change in to the directory where the zip file was downloaded. Unzip and cd in to the directory created. EG:
Code:
[B]cd ~/Downloads
unzip nooktablet-mac-root-0.6.zip
cd nooktablet-mac-root-0.6[/B]
Start the rooting script:
Code:
[B]./go.sh[/B]
Sometimes adb doesn't wake up immediately. Just try go.sh again if it says it can't find your Nook and you are sure it's in debug mode and plugged in properly. Also don't connect via a USB Hub.
When the script is finished, it should say "Done. Unplug from USB now"
The Nook will reboot.
You are now rooted and the following is auto-installed for you
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
In addition, some tweaks have been made to prevent OTA updates from working, preserving your root state.
trying this now..
thanks a lot! i spent 2 hours last night trying to get the other method working and it gave me the headache of the gods.
edit: that mediafire link is crawling for me (dl is at like .2kb/s) can anyone mirror it for others who may have similar issues?

Thanks for the tutorial. It works extremely well!

I had one minor glitch. I was doing this on an old MBP running Leopard and for whatever reason it wouldn't create the ~/.android directory when I ran the script.
I created the directory manually and re-ran the script and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!

Ah, I just looked at the script, I realized now I missed out the mkdir -p ~/.android in it, hence your issue. I will likely fix that and update the script/zip file when I get a minute.
I'm currently considering whether to make the script install busybox at the moment. I don't really need it myself, but I see other people might.
Part of the problem is that if I develop the script any further I ought to test it before releasing it... but I really don't want to keep re-rooting my nook. I want to actually use the damn thing!!

I totally get that. I had just gotten done side-loading tons of stuff and getting my launcher screens setup the way I wanted and then I saw your script and thought about it for a day before breaking down and wiping my NT and starting over.
It was worth it! Thanks again!
I'm confused... rooting on PC using other method didn't work for me and now I'm stumped on Mac as well.
This part stumped me:
unzip it
cd in to nooktablet-mac-root-0.4 directory
mkdir -p ~/.android
./go.sh
Can someone explain the steps in greater detail? I tried runing the adb fiel via terminal, it goes through the script but does nothing on installing files to the device.
Thanks.
Minor problems encountered
I followed the directions and it mostly worked. First, had the problem with the missing:
[ ! -d ~/.android ] && mkdir ~/.android
Then I wasn't sure about the step where it says to click on the golauncher icon in the notifier. I clicked on the LauncherPro.apk entry and choose the package installer. That seemed to work but I'm not sure that's what you meant.
Then found out I should have unplugged the USB cable before rebooting otherwise the launcher chooser is covered by some wrning message. (I can't remember the exact wording now.)
Installed Button Savior. Not sure what that does. I can't figure out where it's suppose to be on the screen.
And worst of all, LauncherPro keeps crashing on me, dumping me back into native Nook mode. That requires a reboot.
But despite all that, I'm happy and will now probably keep my NT.
Big thanks!!

Launcher: that's what I meant.
Unplug: if you dont before you reboot it probably wants to media sync
Button savior: installs a tiny button on the right of the screen. Gets you back/home
LAUNCHER: certain things crash for me. Cant change dock shortcuts for example
I'm sure this will all get smoother in time. Pretty good already though.

Thanks. I found the little tiny button savior icon while trying out an ssh client. It shows up well on a black background.
And that does make it real easy to get back and forth between Android and Nook. Thanks again for making this easy and the button savior recommendation.
I may have to break down and try the Amazon store now.

Hey! Noob here. Thanks so much for this! Just have a few questions...is this a permanent fix? I currently have the amazon appstore, but not android, so is this going to be set up the same way (i.e. have to click search and then go launcher to find the apps)?
When I connect to my mac, the usb debugging prompt will come up right away (like the screen for file xfer normally does)?
After unzipping, are those instructions to enter into the mac's terminal command prompt? Sorry, that's where u lost me! Is "cd" short for something? Thanks again for your help. Just want to make sure I do this right the first time. I think swype is the first thing I will install. Hating this keyboard!!!
First, I want to openly thank t-r-i-c-k for this. Even with little to no knowledge of this kind of stuff, after futzing with terminal for a while I got it to work in two tries. Finally, freedom from another lock-in service/device. But I am having a little glitch that I don't understand.
It's intermittent, but now and then I'm getting a crash on the launcher. It happens when trying to adjust settings/preferences. No big deal as it comes right back, and maybe its the app itself. Anyone else facing this?

I installed the ADW Launcher because LauncherPro wouldn't let me change the dock shortcuts. ADW is letting me modify just about everything--dock shortcuts, icons, etc., without issue.
I get an occasional crash but not as many as before.

You Just Unzip To this Directory:
-->/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/Backup_Goes_Here.
If anyone Thinks This Should Be removed Im only Trying to Help Some Non-Experianced People With Issues With Custom Roms and Flashing (Such as myself But I'd say I Know Quite a bit).
This is Only a Backup! Kind Of development Not a Theme or ROM just Backup!
Reassons Why You may need this:
*Incase You Flash a Bad Zip Which Gives Errors
*Just To Feel Stock ICS
*Wanting Custimization In a Certain Boundry
*Less Dangerous (Not sure about this But Put it here anyways )
*FileSize
*You Can restore Data/system/boot/cache With CWM using Advanced Restore
*Just Requires a Simple Kernel Such as Doom's Advanced Stock ICS kernel.
*Could Be a Base for Your Development or Theme
How to Install Noob Guide (Only for People Who have No clue How to Flash even tho You should Leave Now if you dont know what your doing )
Step 1) Download the fastboot Package and Install Drivers By Going to Device manger and enter fastboot (via Holding search While Device off, Then Your PC should Try to locate Drivers If everything Goes well It will Fail.
Then Manually Click Browse for them and go to were your Fastboot is But When you get here -->Fastboot-->Fastboot.exe & Drivers Just seelect Drivers and click ok.
Step 2) Now drivers are installed You can Move the boot.img file whatever the kernel name is to the fastboot folder Keep It in that Directory.
Rename the kernel to Boot.
step 3) Now we can Hold Shift and whilst holding Right Click and Open "Command Prompt here".
Step 4) Type the command If you want to Flash and stay In Fastboot and manually reboot:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" Ignore the (").
If you wish to Hotboot it do the following:
"fastboot boot boot.img".
step 5) Spam back button or Volume down Untill You Get In CWM if you have not got the backup in the location then go to "mounts and storage" In CWM. Click Mount and makesure SD card is Mounted it should say this if it is "Unmount SD".
Then Just Copy the files over.
Step 6)Go to "Backup and Restore" and Click The backup "File name" If you rename the backup makesure there are no spaces or you'' Get MD5 Mismatch.
Remember to extract the Zip to ClockWorkMod-->Backup-->Backup here.
[disclamer]
In no means Is this a ROM its a Backup for many purpose and requires an Unlcoked Bootloader Not having so will Result In a Bootloop or Your Phone Wont boot.
This does not act upon a ROM or Theme just a Backup so please use Custom ROMs If there Is anything You wish to add Comment Below and State What you Woould Like.
[Is there Something That you Own and Dont want it in this Backup?]
I understand If you want me to Remove something in this Backup Please Tell me Why and I will Be most happy to remove it, But this is actually making your Thing well Known but ah well.

u should know... the shift+Rclick doesn't work on Windows XP OS.
I had a verry hard time figuring where do people see this command line when i was using windows xp.
And when selecting fastboot drivers in device manager, windows xp doesn't have the option to automatically search for the proper drivers inside the entire "drivers" folder.. u'll have to manually select the proper .inf file.. wich ofcourse i didn't know the good one since there are many. the automatic search for the driver is only available in windows 7 (and vista?)
thought u should mention it.

Just an FYI, CDMA users of ICS Sony Beta are still encountering problems with it actually working, so you might wanna wait to "support" CDMA until we get it spot on.

A Team Fireballas Release
Requirements:
ROOTED HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, Stock ROM
TWRP or CM Recovery
External SD Card
Windows
This was tested on Win 7, but should work on XP, Vista, or 7. A Linux version is possible if there is demand.
Instructions:
Perform a NANDROID backup in TWRP or CM Recovery
Download and unpack bloat.v1.1.zip
Update bloat_list.txt as desired. The included list is intentionally short, and you may desire others to be removed.
Plug in phone and enable USB debugging
Double-click bloat.bat
Follow prompts
The script will reboot your device into recovery to make the needed changes, since some issues can occur if run while booted into system.
You might need to wipe cache afterwards, depending on what apps were removed.
This tool will remove system bloat apps in /system/app/, based on the bloat_list.txt file enclosed. It makes a backup of them in /system/app.disabled/.
It also can remove the DROID boot animation and DROID boot sound. Options are provided to perform any or all of these operations.
Please let me know what you think.
v1.1 Changelog:
Improved variable usage
Improved error-handling
Increased timeout while waiting for reboots
Added choice.exe to the .zip
Cleaned up whitespace
Portable version(Not tested but im 98% sure this will work)
This is portable version if anyone wants to try, all required is script manager which is found on play store to execute it
Requirements:
root
For it to work you have to click root icon on smanager
When downloaded remane it from mobile bloat.zip to mobile bloat.sh, otherwise it wont work
please report back
Didn't work for me. It says:
List of devices attached
HT26JS309742 device
'CHOICE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Please attach your device and try again.
Press any key to continue . . .
Choice should be an included Windows batch command.
What version of Windows? I tested on Win 7 Ultimate, so I wonder if maybe you have a home or media center edition that doesn't have it. If that's it then I might need to rework this.

I'm on ultimate.
I will dig into this issue, thanks for letting me know.
Edit: It appears that it's actually part of the Windows Resource Kit.
I will see if it's possible to upload a new zip with it included. In the meantime, could you try installing that from Microsoft and let me know?

Had you previously removed those apps listed manually? Also what recovery are you running?
Basically, the .bat is a wrapper for a script that runs natively from recovery I wrote last year for the OG Incredible. It basically just copies two files, then kicks off the script from recovery based on the options you chose. I think now that it might be better for me to simply port all the logic into the parent .bat script, add choice.exe to the zip, and update the OP. This will have the bonus of eliminting the requirements for the resource kit and an sd card.
Will work on that.
Also I think the very first error is a race condition, so maybe 90 seconds isn't long enough to reboot into recovery. This would explain why the animation didn't change but the others did, since I went alphabetically so animation is executed first. Will increase timeout and gracefully handle absence of those .odex files or any others on the list not on the system.
Here is an advantage to the native .sh script, too, since checking for existence of a file on the android system would be really clunky and unreliable from a .bat file. I will try these things before a re-architecture of where the core logic lives. We are already stretching the limits of what Batch can do which is why I used native .sh script to do most of the real work.

This remove Verizon bloatware if I'm right, if you wanna remove all of apps you don't use , unlock your bootloader, flash recovery and flash team venoms rom
Sent from my HTC Fireball using xda premium
i am not sure I want to flash a different rom this is my every day phone. I had some issues in the past on other phones
also I would rather remove the stuff myself.
i got rid of the obvious stuff lets golf....
i have frozen a BUNCH OF STUFF and will probably remove it slowly
I'm getting an error when I attempt to run this.. Not sure if its something I'm doing wrong.. Pretty much just download bloatv1.1, extracted, and run as admin for bloat.bat. Also when i checked the properties, I have to "unblock" each file extracted from the bloat.v1.1.zip, However this still did not fix the problem. I'm using windows 7 utl. x64.

Bloatv1.0 worked just fine. btw.. not sure what i'm doing wrong with 1.1
Here is great guide : https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Worked for me.
I'll have to try this tomorrow when I have the android-tools-adb package installed on KDE Neon good this will definitely come in useful for me when I only want to turn off some connection types instead of going full airplane mode.
EDIT: yay for Samsung's keyboard in all it's typo riddled glory... think I fixed all of them this time.
Thank you for this share. The tutorial is not without its traps. Nightmare to get the strong to paste properly in a Windows Bash environment, and on the Mac, I am getting syntax errors, referencing the "Custom()" tiles in the code.
If you get it to work, please share the solution, thanks!
i got it working on the first try on my Windows PC. Real easy if follow carefully. used ctrl +c, Ctrl +v to copy paste in command. thanks for the share.

Thanks for your response, brother. I didn't end up using your code, cause the guide finally worked for me using a Windows 10 Machine. All commands and outputs looked right and went well on the Windows 10 CMD line and the shell inside adb. Got my MobileData toggle without a reboot, instantly!
Thanks and good luck to everyone!
For what it's worth and to help everyone in the future, this is what my outcomes were like:
1. Windows 10 - All successful! Guide worked perfectly.
2. Mac OS X - Copy/paste looked right, but was getting the '(' Expected error on the put command in Terminal/ADB/Shell.
3. Windows Vista - The copy/paste looked so bad on the put command that I never executed the event. Especially since I didn't know how to copy and push the original sysui_qs_tiles file.
Thanks!
