you can use cd Downloads as long as the "Downloads" folder at your HOME Directory

and any folder of that like a Music, Documents

[Linux] eudoxus:
Above there was mention of needing more clarity over the difference between the "root file system" and the "/root" directory. My understanding is that there are completely different concepts.

When the bootloader (such as Grub2/LILO/UBOOT) loads the kernel to memory there is a parameter in the commandline instruction such as "root=XXXXXX" and this is instruction the kernel that is must use the location (=disk/partition) "XXXXXX" as the start of a network (math term "graph" or inverted tree) which it will use as the "home" (=root of tree) operating the system. This is the "root ^file system^" or vertex of the inverted tree where all files are stored. From here you can cd downwards to any other directories you have created (mkdir XXXX / cd XXXX and so on). You can see the location of the root file system by doing the "mount" command with no parameters and looking for the line for "/" (which denotes the root file system). You could also do "cat /etc/fstab" which is an instruction table to the kernel as to which strategically important directories should be linked to which hardware. Again root will be denoted by "/" in the second column.

In contrast, on the linux file system users typically have their own directories and for admin ease these are usually gathered together under /home (i.e., directory named "home" within "/" the root file system. "Root" is the superuser and the "root home directory" is located in "/" the root file system as opposed to within "/home". This facilitates administration since you can assign one level of access privileges to "/home" (i.e., all the users) without influencing the higher level of access privileges given to the superuser.

In practice I believe that it is good policy to use root only when absolutely necessary and generally work with lower privileges. Also when running executables (such as servers) it is important to run the program in the name of a user with the lowest possible level of access privileges. Failing to do so means that when the hacker subverts the security of a program running in the name of the superuser they would be able to access a much wider range of directories than when the same program is running under the name of a user with lower privileges.

So you can basically do anything you want if you have a special reason for doing so but it is good to understand the implications of doing something one way as opposed to another.

Hope some of this helps.

The idea is: Radio consumes not unsignificant battery power, especially when you're travelling. Sometimes you dont have to be available for calls...

LongRunner turns off the radio part and keep that for defined time interval. Then it automatically sync all POP/IMAP accounts, the On interval should be long enough to even receive SMS.

Download

LongRunner.cab

(Tested on smartphone platform only, however it should work on PPC's too)

What do you think of this idea? Can it save any battery power? Can this be useful for anyone? Should I work on this or delete the project? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
that's BRILLIANT!

thank you!

(Does that answer your questions? :))

btw, the mail check thingy isn't necessary for everyone.. i suggest having the option to check mail and not make it the only option.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Corpsegrinder:
I'm currently not home to try and test this (Happy Thanksgiving everyone) but this is a great idea! I cannot wait to test this and please do continue development!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lpaso:

Will the phone wake up automatically when someone is calling ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snachez:
If the purpose of the app is to disable the radio, hence incoming calls, then I would imagine No - it won't ring.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3it3r:
This is a cool Idea!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joel2009:
great idea as i would defenenetly use for sms.... but it is not working on my kaiser.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bnm7bnm:
Whats the difference between setting to "flight mode" when no need to be avail.?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
this one is automatic and will check your mail after a specific time interval...

so that you don't need to remember to put your phone on flight mode and then back.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakub_w:
i believe that wont happen, since sms uses radio.

this is for emails only.

correct me if im wrong OP!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
It's not for emails only. SMS's and calls are the same thing. when you turn your radio back on you'll receive your messages. Emails have to be checked manually as they don't depend on the network, that's why he added the option to check emails when the radio's turned back on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Biker1:
I clicked on start and nothing happened.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] parthabhatta:
Make it a little a clear:

When radio off - How will incoming calls be received ?

SMS may be recd as and when I put my radio active.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joel2009:
you won't get incomming calls. all this does is allow you to set intervals for the radio to be turned on so that you can download your emails and sms.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sheennick123456:
i think this is what the app does

1 it disables the radio to save your battery(will disable both messages and calls)

2 it will enable the radio for a short period and check for messages

3 after the checking is done it will turn off radio again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] khaytsus:
My Tilt runs 40 hours on a charge with Flexmail running with online IMAP on 2 folders and periodically syncing 4 others. With Flexmail off, I imagine it would run well over 100 hours.

Doesn't seem like battery life is a big deal to me.. If your battery is running over 3-4%/hr, it's because of a lot of calls and or data and I don't see this program helping much in that direction.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Is this app going to be developed? it is not working currently but the idea is great..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
This is potential battery saver.

But have anyone thought about a 'what if' scenario?

What if your family is trying to call you urgently for something important that may mean life and death situation?

If the call comes in during one of those 'radio' on intervals, well, you are lucky.

But if the call comes in during 'radio off' intervals? That 'interval' will be the amount of time wasted.

I believe the purpose of mobile phone doesn't just make your life easier, but also to make you contactable in times of emergency.

I apologize for coming in as a wet blanket.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
not having a cellphone for some time is a blessing.

what exactly do you think people did before they had cellphones?

you can't be available ALL the time.

tell me you don't anwer calls when you're having sex :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Well, different people, different needs.

If someone you care enough is calling you, well, you would answer it. If you prioritize sex as being more important than a potential disaster befalling on your family (or any thing that is more important than your own personal pleasure), then you can do without a cellphone.

Then, I guess there's no battery to save in the first place, without a cellphone that is.

All I am saying is, look at the worse side of things and be prepared for it and this app, well, may help you save battery. It does have it's pros. But on the flip side, there are always cons.

Phone shut off radio for 5 minutes or longer, a lot of things can happen in 5 minutes. Someone can be shot at with the assailant walking away can be a real scenario within the 5 minutes time frame?

Use with caution is all I am saying. Things do not always turn out to be the best.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Look, I'm not saying that i don't care about my family.. or my friends.. but that's not the point.

Are you saying that i should also stay at home all the time to make sure that my mom/dad/siblings/friends are ok every single moment?

Some people want some quiet time during the day/week.. or want to save battery when you're in a meeting/class.. when you don't answer your phone anyways.

What you're saying fits any other situation in life..

it's not about caution, it's about... prioritizing awareness.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Well, I guess we should agree to disagree.

We clearly have different priorities in life.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Are there any experiences withthis software? My concern is that when you DISABLE flight modus and the phone searches for signals it consumes a lot of battery. Maybe more than it would consume when it's always on! So an interval of 10-20 minutes maye is nonsense. But i don't know how much mAh are used for searching a network. Maybe you can install batterystatus (homescreen ++).

greetings

While you travelling in a train or a car it could be useful because the battery drainage if you are moving is much higher. And you have mostly no signal( My experiences in trains in germany)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajbopp:
This sounds a lot like what SBSH PhoneWeaver does, just scaled down a bit to 2 or 3 functions. You can schedule times to turn the radio/bluetooth/wifi, etc. on and off, or set up rules with your calendar so that, for instance, if you have a regular appt to attend church, it will turn off your radio (or at least your ringer) during the service.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Maybe it's just me, but I always remember to turn my phone to vibration mode for meetings or prior to entering a cinema...

Actually, why don't we delve into the services and process that are running, to see what can be safely shut off. Less process = Less cpu cycles used = less battery consumed. This could contribute to some of the battery usage

Next would be to tweak the timing on back light and it's contrast.

Streamlining of registry would help too.

Why not we each contribute something for this project? I can dabble with Photoshop :)

I suggest we do a comprehensive system tweaker to save battery.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gbm85:
Seriously, if someone needs immediate help they can call 911 (or equivalent emergency number). I can't imagine anything (other than police/fire/ambulance) that would be so important it can't wait 5 minutes for a callback.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
lol... I'd say that if someone was just about to be stabbed and he managed to call you from his cellphone while running away from the stabber.. it wouldn't be an "it can wait" situation. tho.. you can't live your life waiting for that call.

and chances of that happening are so slim that there's a better chance there's a guy waiting for me outside to stab me 24/7 in which case i can't do anything about this anyways :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Clearly, from the comments, you guys are more self-centered?

You want your eye-candies and want long battery life....

Turning on and off the radio at 5 mins interval will only waste more battery...

So the feasible option would be 1 - 2 hours interval, let's just pray that your family, if you do have any, (judging by the comments dished out) doesn't call you in that 1-2 hours radio off interval.

Or even better, give them a time table so that they know exactly when they can call you when they need your help.

The logic simply defies me that why would you need a cell phone when you are always 'logging in and out' from the network.

Why not just switch off your phone totally? It saves you more battery that way?

Or you guys are simply too lazy to turn on 'flight mode' and turning if off later ?

The purpose of a cell phone is to let you remain contactable and saves you the hassle on looking for a phone. If you do not wish to be contactable during that class or meeting, you can always manually power it down, save you much more power that way.

Sorry for coming down hard on you both.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smjoshi:
If you don't want to be a slave to your cell phone and don't want to take calls because of whatever (taking a bath, having sex etc etc) and therefore want to switch off your phone - that is one thing. Switching off your phone to save battery - defies logic.

If one wants to be a nudist as a matter of a lifestyle choice, that is a personal privilege. But not wearing clothes while going to the office to save money and to reduce global warming ??????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tito12:
Philosophical thread

Hi nir36,Section9,gbm85,smjoshi :)

Aren't we missing the point here? the guy is proposing a program for all of us to take or leave and with our feedback he will try to improve it. At least 2 pages here are not related to "Development and Hacking ".

All this in good humor, I am not a mod ;)

All the best and moneytoo, thank you for sharing!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Seriously, turning off your phone would be better in any sense:

1. Save battery (nothing on the screen; no cpu cycles; no processes)

2. You will not be slave to your cell phone (very interesting choice of words)

Being Nudist, no doubt is one's lifestyle. But subjected to the laws of the respective country, no doubt the West being more liberal.

Try being Nudist in most SEA countries especially China or Singapore, you will find a uncomfortable stay in the slammer.

I can only stress again that if you truly wanna save battery, work on the processes and Backlight instead of turning off the radio.

If that doesn't work for you, you can always switch to flight mode, or manually turn off your phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
I proposed to work on WM's internal services , processes and back light to reduce power instead, because clearly, switching off the radio at intervals, either:

1. consume more battery unless the interval is 1-3 hours inbetween.

2. The owner of the cell phone becomes unreachable

I understand that you are trying to lighten up the mood, but clearly the logic from these guys escape me.

I am trying to bring about a point whereby in Emergency cases, one will still remain contactable, but clearly, turning the radio off is not a good way.

If they wanna take a bath or have whatever sex, they can always turn on flight mode.

I bought a Changan CS75 Plus Smart 2023. I tried to connect my Android phone to the car Radio Head unit using CarAuto (Global) App. But I could not download any Android Apps to the system. Can you help me with that Please?

Also can I download and use Android Auto App on the system or Car Play? How can I do that? Is there a software or an App or a dongle that will do that?

What is the code or number to get into the Android system of the Changan CS75 Plus 2023.

Thank you for your help, consideration, and Cooperation.

[Android Automotive OS] Guti1977:
I have not checked, but there has to be an option that would allow you to install apps from unknown sources and that should do the trick. Personally, I do not own a CS75 Plus nor the CS55 Plus, but I do have a CS35 Plus.
[Android Automotive OS] luisgarcia1987:

How did you access the settings which code you used. I have cs35 also
[Android Automotive OS] Guti1977:
I was thinking that if we get to install the needed apps, we could try the Headunit Reloaded Emulator app.

That will give a full Android Auto experience in our Changan headunits 🙌

[Android Automotive OS] Guti1977:
Yup, same as some of the above posts. Could it be a matter of running the commands in sudo mode?
[Android Automotive OS] pvalenzuelaw:
Hi all,

In another thread @TheOneTheOnlyTheOne explains the procedure:

- On the phone app press *#*#888 then press the call key

- A password prompt would come up the password is : 369875

With that you enter the "Factory App" with menus with full chinese text will be present, i tried everything until i found a settings button, and the procedure to enable USB debug to enable to try adb commands connected from a laptop...

You need to clic on settings button, you get taken into the default android settings menu, you need enable developer mode. for that go to About tablet -> build number if you click on it 7 times it will activate developer mode...

then you will go back to main page of Android's settings, then advanced settings, then click the tab to show more advanced options, you'll find developer mode...

I went there activated USB debugging, and change USB to file transfer mode...

Then @tangoindia23 post "the step by step for enable usb debugging, im tried but my laptop cant detect a usb debugging:"

"The Rights Steps is Factory Default Radio , Enable debugging in android system menu , with usb debug and media transfer , after go to Chinese USB menu and set ADB"

In my case on Changan CS35 plus first I connect a USB drive with music and let recognized and played on music app, then enter to factory app with chinese menu to change to adb mode and then changing to usb cable and this way the head unit is recognized on laptop in "adb devices"... strange, but works...

I hope this information is helpful,

Credit goes to everyone who has supported and contributed on multiple treads and posts
[Android Automotive OS] pvalenzuelaw:
@Guti1977 thank you very much for your answer

I'm telling you that I'm new to android, but I have a little knowledge of linux, so it's a bit familiar to me, but there are many things that I don't know, I share the findings I've had, any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

I tried to install AutoKit_2023.03.20.1121.apk or AutoKit.apk from CarlinKit, but the headunit blocks the install some type of protection, It seems that there is something configured on PackageManager that inspects the installations and does not allow them to be carried out successfully... the following are logs from logcat:

07-11 19:02:06.416 2349 2401 D PackageManager: VecentekPMS installStage packageName = cn.manstep.phonemirrorBox

07-11 19:02:06.417 2349 2401 D PackageManager: VecentekPMS cn.manstep.phonemirrorBox is not auth,install failed!

Apparently the application that blocks the installation is:

package:com.vecentek.decoreapp

It won't let me uninstall it either
