Just wanted to say my thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatsleeplaxsoccer:
Just a follow up, you will need a root-capable system explorer. I looked around for a good free one but didn't find one.

I bought root explorer, mounted as r/w (an option at the top when you first open) and just navigated to that data file and opened it. root explorer has a built in text editor (it doesn't show the cursor which is a bit strange). make the changes (I change from google.nl to google.com because I only just moved to Amsterdam and don't speak dutch yet, so all my searches are in english) then save and exit. it worked well.

Perfect solution, thanks man!

Chrome till says he's using Google.XX to search after I changed that, but now uses .com :good:

chrome mobile default search engine to com

Well, I've been aching to find a solution for this and I did ironically it is simple, go to menu --> settings --> Accounts --> Choose Google --> you'll get Options to choose -->within privacy options choose search --> Tick ON search "on google .com" once done exit settings go to chrome change to bing.com, search for something then switch back to Google as default search engine, back to chrome type anything to search in the address bar and you'll get that magical yellow pop up message telling to use Google.com instead of your local one. TARRRRAAAAAA you're done, to make sure check default search engine in chrome settings you'll see it has been switched to Google.com

Hope it will work for you

Thanks!

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidshen84:
Actually, if you go to www.google.com/ncr on your android chrome, then it will remember it and use google.com for any search you entered in the address bar.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awesome!!!:
Sorry to say

Sorry to say but all of you forgot one thing.............. You guys forgot the Google settings app!!!!!!! I don't remember exactly what I did not now I have Google. Com as my default search engine.......... The Google settings app that has rarely been opened, in fact never opened, has the solution to the problem!!!!!!!!!!!! I played with the settings app for some time and found use Google.com as default and then played with chrome and when I restart chrome, lo and behold, my default search engine is Google.com!!!!!! Hope this helps

2017 update

Greetings from 2017! I stumbled upon this thread a few days ago because I, too, wanted to use a different search engine on chrome for android. I was partly motivated by Google's horrible AMP ruining my browsing experience. AMP pages are completely unusable on my Nexus 5x. I can't scroll! Wtf Google! Anyway, still, in 2017, it is not possible for the user to add a custom search engine to the browser. In fact, there are only a handful of options to choose from (Google, Ask, Aol, Bing, Yahoo, in United States). The old Preferences file hack no longer works. Well, I didn't want to give up here, so I pulled the Chromium code and figured it out.

What Google did here is actually rather interesting. There are many more than just the five search engines listed above built into the browser. I counted something like fifty, including different languages (eg Yahoo USA, Yahoo France). I guess Google wanted to make things simple for the user (and hard for people who like to customize) by just pulling a handful of search engines based on the country and language of the phone/user. For the USA, the five listed above are "prepopulated" into the search engines available for the user to choose from and the rest are not shown in the UI. For the curious, DuckDuckGo is not present at all among the search engines.

So I added it! I modified a few files and got DuckDuckGo working for search in Chromium 58 for Android. I couldn't find a search suggestions service from DuckDuckGo (saw ddgg.nfriedly.com, but it didn't work), so I incorporated Bing's suggestions service. Why Bing? In the code, Google's suggestions setup is really complicated, whereas Bing's was a simple URL. I compared some search suggestion results from Bing and Google and Bing seemed adequate. So when you start a search you get suggestions from Bing, and the search is completed on DuckDuckGo.

This was a good deal of time and effort (took forever to set up the development environment and around 4 hours to compile Chromium the first time), and I feel accomplished, but sadly I won't be using what I have built. For some reason the Chromium build won't let me sign in to sync with my Google account on my phone. Maybe because the build isn't signed or whatever. I also realized that I still like Google search results better than DDG. I'll just have to go to DDG whenever Google is giving me AMP pages.

But you guys can use it if you really want DDG in Chrome on Android. If anyone sees this, let me know if you think I should try submitting the code to the Chromium project to see if we can get DDG into people's browsers everywhere! If anyone wants to know more about the specific changes I made in the code, let me know.

Here's a link to the APK from my Dropbox. Scan it for malware if you want.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vr95hm2b0r1lmq8/ChromePublic.apk?dl=0

Until next time, XDA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZzzzzxXxzzzzZ:
Do you mind sharing what you did?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliaams:
I don't remember exactly what I did, but I edited some of the files in src/components/search_engines of the Chromium source. I think I edited the following files:

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/search_engines/search_engine_type.h

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/search_engines/prepopulated_engines_schema.json

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/search_engines/prepopulated_engines.json

It shouldn't be too difficult to add DDG or another engine, by looking at the other engines. That's what I did. These files are source files, so pre-compile.

I believe DDG should then appear in the following build files:

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/out/Debug/gen/components/search_engines/prepopulated_engines.h

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/out/Debug/gen/components/search_engines/prepopulated_engines.cc

If I recall correctly, I initially tried to just modify these post-compile build files, but was unsuccessful. I may have also modified them in the final, successful build.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kawaiiDango:
i know there are hunderds of threads about this, but none of them helped me and niether of them describes my situation.

i had to change some values in bools.xml in framework-res.apk of a deodexed cm7.2 rom. so, i decompiled and recompiled using apktool and tried the folowing things (in all cases i remembered to chmod to 664):

- pushed the compiled file without signing. Boot loops.

- wiped dalvik cache. still boot loops.

- signed the compiled file. IT BOOTED! but all system apps fc. And i see a blank status bar. clearing dalvik cache doesnt help.

- copied the compiled resources.asec to original apk with winrar. NO FCs this time. still a blank status bar. Rotating the phone freezes the system instantly. but even if you dont rotate, system soon freezes, within 30 secs. logcat shows repeating messages of "cpu may be pegged. trying again". (no i havent overclocked).

how do u guys mod the frameworkres successfully?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ticklefish:
Well, I don't know exactly what the problem you're having is since it may depend on the type of mod you're doing but..

I decompile framework-res.apk with apktool, make my changes and recompile. Then I use 7zip to copy the res folder from the new apk to the old one (just open both and drag across). Next, I extract resources.arsc from the new apk and add it to the old one, making sure to use 'store' compression. If resources.arsc is compressed at all, it causes problems.

So the original framework-res.apk now has a new res folder and resources.arsc at the right compression ratios. If you sign the new apk file, you have to make sure all the other system apps are signed the same way and it's just more trouble than it's worth.

Then I reboot into recovery, mount the system and push straight to the framework folder. I used to do this while the phone was running normally but I'd get all kinds of odd bugs if I made any change to anything other than a drawable. I'd get strange FC's, I'd lose wifi connection, all kinds of things.

And that's about it. As long as the changes I'm making don't stop the phone from working properly anyway, the above works perfectly every time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brainmaster:
Did you made a typo, or did you really have set the permissions to 664?

Its 644.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kawaiiDango:
that was actually a typo, and once i also accidentally made a typo on adb, but it still boots fine. i dont think giving extra permissions will screw things up.

the problem "cpu may be pegged" is rom/kernel related, because it is still there after a fresh install... sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

but i dunno anything about the blank status bar... i was trying to set "has_soft_keys" to true, to use tablet tweaks on my phone, does that cause a blank statusbar? anyone else got the same problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ticklefish:
Wait, why are you using framework-res.apk for that? I think you need to change local.prop in /data to do this.

Have you actually got the line "has_soft_keys" already in the bools.xml?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kawaiiDango:
yes it had that line, and setting it to true does bring the softkeys stuff in tablet tweaks menu. But the status bar always stays empty, nothing on it.

what needs to be changed in local.prop? There's nothing related to softkeys there on my phone.

umm, my ROM had the center clock mod on status bar, is that an issue?

Sent from my LG-P500

edit:

yes it was due to the center clock. tried anoher rom and i got the softkeys just by modding the bools.xml :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] varun.chitre15:
First of all never sign system apps.

try using apk manager(I know it uses apk tool to do these operations) so try to set compression level to zero and heap size to 512.

I think above solutions should solve your problem but revert if u face any problem.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ecips:
Hey guys & gals!

Here is a little tool I made.

What it does is take 2 APK files - the original, and the modified/themed one. It then extracts the APK's and collects all the files that have changed from the original in the modified APK. It also adds the new files in the modified APK.

It wont handle changes to the smali code, but any xml or png changes will work fine.

Then it builds the changed files into a zip file that can be flashed using ZipThemer.

To use:

make an empty directory for apkdiff to work in.

create 2 folders new_apk and old_apk and place the 2 files in their respective directories.

Run the script:

apkdiff /system/app Phone

The 2 parameters are:

The folder on your device the APK is located in

The name of the APK file (without .apk on the end)

There are a couple of parameters you may need to adjust at the top of the file.

The result will be a file in the "out" folder which can then be used on other devices to modify the original apk using ZipThemer. This is a lot smaller file than if you redistribute the whole modified APK.

I hope this makes sense to someone!! :)

I am sure there are bugs in it somewhere, so if you give it a try and it breaks let me know.

Cheers!

Hi All ,

How can i enter Recovery or Bootloader Menu like i do with my Desire HD to Format and Hard Reset the device

Let's say that i forgot the phone password , So how can i restore my phone to Factory Defaults !!!

when booting the device it will ask u for the password , u don't know it and can't reset the phone ! the solution at most android phones is recovery or bootloader screen then do wipe or factory reset but i can't access that menu in Xperia Mini

Thanks a lot for your help in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
HTC's have different bootloaders and systems, there is no bootloader menu on Xperia.

If you have Clockworkmod Recovery on your Xperia, then turn phone on, when the screen gets brighter during boot(before boot animation, during the Sony Ericsson text on stock kernel), click Volume Down button many times to enter it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MohamedYousri:
Thanks a lot for your replay

Now i got it , but what shall i do if i forgot my password !! do i have to flash my phone with the original ROM to bypass the password ?

as my devices isn't rooted and i don't Clockworkmod yet ,,, it will by very annoying :mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kadr:
did you alredy installed the CWM ?

if not - that's how to do it:

1)Download this program

2) Run SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer.exe, choose "CWM for Live with Wallkman/Xperia Mini/Mini/Pro/Active". enable (check) "Auto Reboot" and press "Install".

To enter recovery keep on pressing volume down botton as soon as the display starts

There is an option "Wipe data/factory reset"

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshhayes801:
Why is it necessary? There's both CWM touch and TWRP if you want a recovery with touch interface. Aroma installer is pretty nice but we already have touch based recoveries so we don't really need it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nero17:
because of the possibility of installnig just a part of the whole .zip/rom .. seems interesting !!

Is it 6.1 gb or 6.1 aosp, i have no issues
[Thunderbolt General] smerfherder:
definitely NOT the GB

[Thunderbolt General] bpyazel:
Don't you guys mean Sense or AOSP? They both are Gingerbread.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
You must be using the aosp kernel or got a bad download
[Thunderbolt General] gemitero:
The zip file for the aosp kernel has "aosp" in its name while the sense kernel is labeled with "GB" in its name. So I did mean the the GB kernel :)

Google Play Music is currently only available for United States for now.

But there is a way of using Google Play Music from different countries!

How?

Now I will try to tell it;

As first, the system is beta for now So it only works with invitation. But getting one is so easy.

You need Fire Hide IP freeware software for your PC.

Download here

After installing program click to Hide IP button and you will get a United States IP.

You can request invitation from Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox 5.0.1.

Login your Google account and go to Google Play Music website.

Click to Request Invitation.

[*]This part is only needed for invitation. Now you can delete this settings if you want.

Now you can download 20.000 mp3 from there.

You can sync and manage your Google Play Music using Itunes.

Enable Sync Google Play Music from Account settings of your phone and enjoy!

My phone, XT910. Retail.en.EU, can use't in 4G network? when available in my country, Portugal

Tanks:)

Sorry, my bad English.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] al3xx:
If you have an XT910, you don't have 4G. I don't know what networks are available in Portugal, but depending on what frequencies they run at, there's a chance you might not be able to get 3G, either (carrier dependent). Look up what carriers use what frequencies in Portugal...the XT910 has bands for 850/900/1900/2100 for 3G.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fragosa35:
Thanks

I have 3G.

I made a test with SPEEDTEST.NET.

Hit gave me HSPA 3495Kbps Down and 1633Kbps Up.

When I bought the phone I was convinced that would have 4G, I only realized it was not so here in the forum.

There is no way to update radio in order to run 4G?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MiGeCh:
there is no way to upgrade and there is no 4g in portugal. By the time there will be 4g in portugal you will probably buy another phone.

I found an app which allows for free wifi tethering without rooting. If i continue to use this, do i violate my contract and if i do what is the worst that can happen?

If sprint terminates my contract, do i have to pay an early termination fee? Would I be able to keep my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
That question has been asked in forums since the hot spot mod was hacked. There are risks in everything and unless someone has been busted then I don't see anyone being able to answer you. If you are worried then pay for it or just don't use it. Search the other 100 threads about this and see what others have done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
If you get caught, it is theft of service and since Sprint is located in Kansas, it is across state lines and as such is a felony and a federal offense. Sprint has been cracking down real hard on illegal tethering and many have been arrested and thrown in jail. Surprised you haven't heard about that, it's been all over the internet lately. They gave this one guy 5 years and denied his appeal. It seems harsh, but theft is theft any way you look at it.

My recommendation to you- stay away from tethering, especially if you enjoy your freedom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hs101:
Im not worried at all. If sprint cancels my contract without any termination fees or fines then thats actually a good thing because i want to leave sprint.

What do you mean by this.... Why wouldn't it work?

I just want to make sure that it is the worst thing they can do.

Hey you may be the first and then they throw the book at you... or not
