Hey guys, I wrote an article over on our site that shows a quick walkthrough on how to display full desktop websites permanently on Chrome for Android Mobile so that you don't have to visit the mobile site, then hit "request desktop site" button any more. Considering Chrome is an awesome browser with full sync, and works very well on Jelly Bean, this might be of use to all of you. I know I was sick of having to constantly click the button.
Article: How To – Permanently Have Desktop Mode on Chrome Mobile for Android
Rooted device Instructions:
Copy the chrome-command-line.txt file attached to the post, then paste it into /data/local/ making sure to set the permissions to 755 and to remove the '.txt' file extension.
Flashable .zip, for the lazy:
You should know how to use this by now. Grab the attached ChromeDE.zip provided by XDA user djmcnz and flash away! (Thanks!) You can also drop him a thanks by visiting a post of his later in this thread.
ADB Instructions (for non-rooted devices):
Place the chrome-command-line.txt file in the root directory of your PC and rename it to 'chrome-command-line', then make sure your device is connected to your computer. When connected, issue this command:
Code:
adb push /chrome-command-line /data/local/chrome-command-line
You can also set the path on your computer where the file is located by replacing the first '/chrome-command-line' with the file location.
Cheers! Hopefully we'll see a better implementation of this in the upcoming 4.2 release.
Very useful. Instructions were clear and precise, Nice one!
thank you very well apreciated is there any chance you can write 1 on how to make it more stable?

Thanks guys, glad I could help. Wish I knew how to make it more stable! It seems that it runs much better on Jelly Bean, but us ICS users are still stuck with it being really slow and buggy

it seems in the video you just tick different boxes, how does that relate to 755??

I'm using solid explorer off of the market (a free file manager) which allows you to set the permissions of a file. In solid explorer, they are set by ticking the correct boxes, whereas in other applications they are typed in by number..

Good tip but it can be improved.
You don't need root to write to /data/local/ so in theory this trick will work for everyone, might pay to update the article.

No? When testing with a Nexus 7 unrooted you cannot navigate to Data/local through Solid Explorer. Naturally I thought it had to be rooted. If you have had success with a different file manager (or pushed it through ADB) then letting me know what worked would be great.

You'll be able to get to it in a terminal window or adb - not sure what's up with Solid, equally an update.zip will work without root.
/data/local/ is r/w for the local user and shell.
try - echo test > /data/local/test.txt on a non-rooted device, it'll work.
Actually, now that think about it more - Solid probably can't list the contents of / (root) so you can't navigate to sub directories. Can you type a path into Solid? That should work.

I'll definitely test that out and put a guide for newbies on there. Solid displays the root directory, but will not allow you to navigate to a folder inside of it. I was thinking about ease of access for the user, and assumed they wouldn't want to go the adb route. My bad, but thank you for the heads up.

I seem to have a problem with the Smart actions app - there's no location triggers to choose from and I don't see how you can add them manually either...
When I try to add a location trigger, I get a blank list with the text "Not any meaningful locations to display". Any thoughts on this?

Right... I dont see a green plus so there must be something wrong with my version of the app.
Do you think you could help me out and upload your .apk of Smart actions? Would be much appreciated!
After a fair bit of detective work, I found that I was actually missing the "SocialLocations.apk" app which creates location triggers... weird.
I pulled it from a /system dump on xda and problem solved!
many people have the same problem with smart actions location trigger: could you please upload the file so everybody who needs it can download? thanks

You have to make system RW and to do that in Root Explorer press on the RO text at top. IT will change to RW and hen you can do what you need.

Yes I did. In the location setting for the specific rule it will show all your saved locations and moat likely they are all checked. Make sure only the location pertaining to the specific rule is checked and that should fix the issue

If you ever lose a system app again, you can do an "adb push" from your computer. Just download the firmware and unzip it and you will find the files you need. Getting the file posted can be easier but not having to wait for someone to respond can be quicker.

Related question... when I try to add an attachment to an email the "My Media" is the only option remotely close to being able to browse for a file - how do I replace it with (or simply add) a real file browser?
Also, where can I put a file so that it actually shows up in My Media???
Couldn't you just use ES Explorer or any file manager with root access and reinstall the gallery.apk located in "System\App"?
Or maybe I'm missing something.

Is that the Nook Gallery ("My Media") or the standard Android Gallery app?
I'm trying to replace the crappy and very limited Nook one...
Would I just install another gallery to replace the My Media?
EDIT: I just clicked on it and chose install, I guess it IS the "My Media". Have you used "My Media"? I want something like a regular browser that let's me attach files (when sending emails) other than just the pictures that come with the NT.... Also would like a gallery type browser in addition to the Root Browser I have installed...
With Enhanced Email, I can attach any type file from anywhere using Gallery, My Media, Quickoffice, sound recorder or any of my file managers.
help?

Sorry to be a noob, but where is the firmware zip?
I'd like to reinstall a couple of things I de-blated prematurely. Thanks for any help any of you have.
What is it? Okay, well kenjesse put it best with this description : " Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app does not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.
To check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19570074
On the next page of this thread I have posted the patch zip necessary to install the pdroid app on CM7 for DX2 only!!! I will make patch zips for other roms upon request but it can be done easily by following kenjesse's instructions below. After flashing the zip just download and install pdroid from the play store ......viola! Thanks for stopping by and happy flashing!
Looks like a pretty cool program. I've read other post that reference making changes like this, always wondered how. Wonder if this is one way, I'd assume there are other ways too.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just got done installing this and it seems to be working great. I'm running CM7 with no special tweaks other than Moon Shadows wifi fix, following instructions from op here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
this is what I did:
1. DL Pdroid Patcher zip to PC (Win7 in my case)
2. Extract Pdroid Patcher exe file and run
3. Browse to update-cm-7.2.0.-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (cm7 ROM) and select.
4. Click "Patch" (program takes about 2 minutes to create required patch zip file as well as restore file if you choose to uninstall Pdroid later)
5. copy the 2 created zip files (PDroid-v1.31-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip & PDroid-RESTORE-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip) to your external SD Card
6. Boot in our BSR BACKUP...BACKUP DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
7. Flash the PDroid zip file
8. I did not wipe anything as it is not stated to do so in the OP install instruction... I did flash cm7 reRecovery before I rebooted just to be safe.
9. Reboot your phone, go to market and install Pdroid.
I tested by removing several permissions for my Fox News app which doing thru cm7 causes the app to break, using PDroid the app still worked. Not sure how to test beyond that.
I did notice that the reboot stayed on the cm7 animation for a while before the phone came back up as if a dalvik wipe had been done.
Hope this helps and if you break it it's your fault not mine and remember...BACKUP
You are awesome! Thank you very much for giving this attention, I can't wait to follow the steps you've listed when I get home. Thanks again

He probably should update the op title. Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app dose not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.

Beautifully put. Hey, I would update the op title but it's not letting me from the mobile app. I will later when I'm on my laptop.
Hey, how did you spoof the permissions? Don't see that option within the settings. I just see symbols without descriptions (gear, bar graph, check, ect...)?
Just to add, I don't know if it's just in my head or not but I feel like my phone is moving way faster After changing all the permissions that I did.
........and last, I'm going to post the patch zip file for cm7 dx2 when I get home so all anyone needs to do is flash it and download pdroid from the market (Google play (stupid name)....whatever). Okay all done.

Settings options are:

So please help me clarify what setting should I set the apps to? Also do I need to do them one at a time or can I do it by batch?
Okay, what I have been doing is blocking ALL permissions for any given app and then trying to run it. I then look for any error messages and go back and enable only those specific permissions to allow the app to function properly. You'll get a system once you use it a bit. .....and unfortunately there is no batch function. It is a very cool app though once you play with it and definitely enable the function where you can see it blocking and granting permissions. It's pretty cool!

Flashing The update zip makes the required changes for the app Pdroid that you get from the market to run properly with the cm7 ROM. IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE ON CM7. If you later uninstall Pdroid you flash the restore zip to remove the changes made by the update zip.
I believe it is done this way so the app can work without root permission and therefore doesn't have to run in the background....I could be wrong though and as with any mod you should go to the linked thread above and research it for yourself.

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

I've installed the app from Play, ran it, and even browsed the media... the /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs directory doesn't exist.
cSPrefs.xml

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.

When I open cSprefs.xml it is only a couple of lines long and doesn't have the above string of text in it anywhere. I am using Root Explorer to open and edit the file, would that be the problem?
When i download the zip it says the directory isnt found. I cant even find the zip once i download it.

So I decided to try this again. I understand the directions now i do the following.
Use root explorer and open cSPrefs.xml
I find the text string mentioned above and change "p5wifi" to"Stingray" then save and close the file.
I then reopen the file and confirm the change. Then when I open hulu plus I get the device not supported error. When i reopen cSPrefs.xml it has changed the device back to p5wifi.
Can anyone help me please.

Hello, basically I am wondering what is the best program to edit .DAT files ( the typ of file that is [mostly] used by android-game dev's to save stored data of the game )
and edit them,
also i was wondering what if I can't find the game/app map when connected to USB?
> I want to do it on the PC because I have the one X and are NOT going to root it.
Regards!
In order to access those files and write on them (edit them), you need root.

Please read again, I can access them through my computer easily, in fact I have them open now on HxD editor, but I need a good program to edit these .DAT files with.
Then you need to push those files to the phone, which requires root

Since when you need root to access a file created by application that doesn't require root?

The file of an app, say a game is under \data\data and in order to change or replace those files, you need root.

An app cannot write there under normal circumstances.. For writing there you need root, but games doesn' store their savegames there.
Let me put it differently.. if an app doesn't ask for root, all files it creates can be accessed by adb.

This is why non rooted phones cannot cheat on games, they cannot access the files there.
When you go into app settings and look under each app, there is a section that says data....x MB. And you can clear data. That data is stored under /data/data

Check again. All user installed apps have folders there with some associated data. Some games don't have their savegames there, others do.

Indeed, and the games I'm wondering about do have the save game in the folder, simply access-able when I connect my phone (One x) to the PC.
Any how, how could I open these files, with what program?

The save games' files are usually XML files. You should be able to simply use notepad (or any other text/word associated software) to edit them.

Hex editor, and messing around to see what each adress does. Every game dev uses their own liba and stuff, there is no universal program to edit those files.
Its like writting your own secret code inside a book, someone else might open it, but go figure out how to interpret each line.
In-app Android
Is it possible to hack games and get free in-app purchases such as on the iphone for android i've been looking but haven't found anything yet.

It sure is. Hell, there even is a forum wide XDA announcement about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530
You might try enabling USB debugging... Found under developer options. This is in all Android devices enabling varies by release. Try checking out Setting - About Android - build version click that 7 times and it should enable it in main settings. It has already been said you really should root. This is usually the first step to getting root. I know nothing about HTC, but chainfire root has worked for me many times, from Sony, Moto and Samsung. Google your make and model + root +xda dev.
I myself have used Hex Editor, but it looks like garbage to me. Good luck and please give an update if you find a template or app
Interesting. I'm trying to hack my own game. Hope I can, because it obviously is possible...lol.
Hacking HTC devices is hard as hell, i have htc one and i can tell
The root needs clock work mode
And this CWM needs bootloader and the bootloader needs hellava time and experience
I just dont have time to do all that sh1t, isnt there an easier way to root stupid htc's, or at least to hack games on pc
Or hack the games without rooting
And dont tell me to use lucky patcher because its bullsh1t
Thx for reading
