How do you get all the settings? - Nook Touch General

The stock Settings is a small subset of the full Settings.
I know that I could load SuperDuperNooter and get the full Settings and a free set of steak knives, but I'd really like to know how it's all done manually.
I tried installing Settings.apk and SettingsProvider from the emulator but it just gave me a boot loop.
Good thing that I had backed up this morning.
Yes, I can do settings with adb pull, sqlite3, adb push, but I was looking for something simpler.

Thanks for looking into this (and from saving me from installing settings.apk myself!). It would be great to be able to turn off location tracking post-installation. Please keep us posted!

I don't think that your location is enabled at all.
If you load up Google Maps it won't know where your are.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
select * from secure where name='location_providers_allowed';
Will return:
Code:
5|location_providers_allowed|gps
But of course you have no GPS

I found Google Maps was able to find about where I was based off of my current WiFi connection. It was kind of interesting, and entertained me during most of a class.

Exactly. On devices with a fully functional setting.apk, once you turn off location tracking Google Maps will not be able to wifi to determine our location (this of course is not a complain about the developer who made the nook tool app).

So you are saying, with adb, it is possible to replace the settings.apk?
Can you provide a download link for the apk you used?

Hi,
did You used another software for that or just Google Maps app (or was it google maps on a web browser)?
I've tried to localize myself but it was loading (refreshing) and i cancelled it after a while, should I wait a little longer?

Location settings

Hi there! Is there a way to enable location via GPS for selected apps only?
For example:
Facebook get location via 3g or wifi
Maps get location via gps
Twitter via 3g or wifi
I dont want to waste battery everytime I use facebook, althought I want GPS enable all the time to use wavesecure if needed.
I think IOS has an option for that..
This depends entirely on if you are rooted or not.
if rooted:
I believe you can push Wavesecure to /system/app and it will be able to turn GPS on when needed
Tasker can turn GPS on (and off) on a per-app basis with Secure Settings plugin. So turn GPS off when Facebook/Twitter launches and back on when exit
if NOT rooted:
root your phone, there is no reason not to with the N1
Rooted since 1st day!! Hehe
How do I push the app to system/apps?
You can install LBE privacy guard from the market. It can take away GPS permissions from individual apps. I did precisely that with Facebook.

there are several ways to do it
if you have the Android SDK installed on your PC, simply push with adb
Code:
adb remount
adb push WaveSecure.apk /system/app/
or you can copy/paste the APK from /data/app with RootExplorer (i'm not sure all the pitfalls of this method, I typically use adb)
Also, I believe when the app is moved to /system/app like this, you might have to manually update it when Wavesecure pushes updates to the Market..

[Q] Installing apps that require location

Is there a way to get applications to install on the Kindle Fire that require location? I don't plan on using the location part of these apps but I would like the other features on them.
I can't get them to side load. It keeps saying it can't install the application.
I still don't know why they didn't include WiFi location on this thing. That would be good enough for me and there isn't anymore cost to Amazon.

Have you tried enabling mock locations and even going so far as to set up tetherGPS?
Also, what apps are you trying to load that aren't loading?
I'm having the same problem with various apps. The good news is that the Amazon app store is expanding rapidly and the apps you want may be available there now.

Never heard of mock locations, I will have to look into that.
The two apps that I would like either or of are c:geo or the geocaching app. Mainly for getting info and logging.

Thanks, I will have to keep on checking to see if they get available. Being that they are location based apps, who knows if Amazon will allow you to install them.
I would love for someone to figure out a way to install the Google location into the Kindle Fire.
Mock locations work. In addition to enabling that and finding Assn app to fake location you'll need to enable network,gps as location sources as this fields outs used to determine requisite location processing regardless of whether you have GPS or cellular chips.
You should be able too follow generic mock location instructions for gingerbread, you'll also need to edit settings.DB manually.

Well the main issue is will the app install then? I'm thinking the Fire is rejecting any app that says it requires location services to be enabled.
Well I finally got the app to install. It only took editing the AndroidManifest.xml file. I took out the line that says it needs to use the maps library.. The app installs, but won't run because it requires this library. Force closes everytime. Now we know the issue why it's not installing. No Google libraries are on the Amazon Kindle.
Well I got the application to install and work successfully. The issue was not having the Google Maps framework installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20123452 .
And then on top of that I enabled mock locations which helps with the app as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362472

Maps no location from Wifi?

On my Nook Color, Google Maps was able to approximate a location from Wifi.
On the Kindle Fire, Google Maps gives some (empty) error message when I click on the "my location" button and nothing shows for my location.
Is there any way to fix that?
You need location servicices on the KF for that to work.
There is GPS Tether which is not quite the same thing but the person who first posted it, appeared to have another method to get the location info, and I suspect he figured out how to get location services (WiFi) to work. I don't think he has ever posted it though.
Not all WiFi routers or hotspots provide GPS location info though. My 4G Hotspot doesn't for example.
Not sure I follow: the nook color also has no gps but it always got art least an approximate location from wifi
The KF does not have location services installed. Without that, there is NO interface to get the data from.
I've never seen a Nook Color so i don't know what it can/can't do how it is modified etc...
The KF didn't include GPS or location services as it was designed. if someone gets it working (GPS tether does work), then it is an added bonus. otherwise you got what you paid for.
Any chance grabbing the network location files from another gingerbread Rom would do the trick?
Edit: Well it actually worked, didn’t think so at first but its working. I used Root explorer to grab the networklocation.apk from the CM7 Rom on my phone. Uploaded that the Google Search Bar and the Maps apk's to Dropbox. I put the network and Google search Bar in the Kindle systems app folder, changed the permissions to match the rest and rebooted. Got a weird popup why booting asking me to sign into my Google Account witch I have never seen but did and everything booted up normally. I then installed the Maps apk and when it loaded I skipped the turn on GPS settings popup and to my dismay the app had no idea where we were. I then opened the Google Search Widget I also grabbed hoping that applying a Go Launcher ICS theme would give me the cool clear ICS look but when I opened the app and skipped the import Gmail search history popup another popup popped up asking if I would like to turn on Google Location for better results or something like that so I chose accept and opened my Maps App to find my Google profile picture overtop of Philadelphia PA. I live in Philadelphia PA so this is a good thing. Went back to the Google Search App to be sure and Goggled Pizza and sure enough the recommended shops were local so I’m fairly certain it’s working.
Side note,
At the same time I did the above I tested a little Keyboard shortcut. Installed a few keyboard APK’s I also grabbed from my phones app folder and uploaded to Dropbox. After installing I copied and pasted the APK’s from the data/app folder, and pasted the APK’s in the system app folder and rebooted my Kindle. Once booted back up I used Root Explorer and reinstalled the keyboards from the APK’s copied to the system/app folder , selected done after each install and then opened up each keyboard for the first time by long pressing a text field and selected each keyboard. After I opened the keyboards in this way and set each ones settings to my preference I backed them up with Titanium using a label I named keyboards. So anyway the actual shortcut is that going forward after booting my Kindle I just run a restore using the label with Titanium and all the keyboards are working again until the next reboot in which another quick batch restore will need to be done, much easier then reinstalling individually after each boot. Works on Thumb, Swift, Smart and Go. Sorry didn’t think I had gone on this long about it.

Thanks for the apk, but I couldn't figure out how to install apktool on my mac. When I unpack the basic program, apktool.jar appears and then disappears and turns into a folder. Then the helper script for macosx can't even find apktool.jar.
Put networklocation.apk from the CM7 gapps into system/app with the proper permissions.

What I do remember and see is my KF - is rooted w/ the update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-blaze-KANG-signed rom, Also I have installed the build.prop by enkode in the "Kindle Fire Market MAWR OPEN!!!" thread to appear like a GT-P1000 to Android.Market for Fuller access. I have Flashed ICS touch-20 with success and Have 'bout 20 Backups saved to pc from Twrp. Ok, Noob with first Android. These 3.apk's I put in the sysem/app folder 1. NetworkLocation.apk , From gapps-gb-20110828-signed . 2. framework-res.apk, a modded one from another post about wifi location. 3. Google_Maps_6.1.1.apk. I set all the permissions on the 3 files to 755 . But I only installed the ONE "GoogMaps6.1.1", I did not install the other 2 .apk at all. Rebooted and saw Latitude, Gmaps, etc. Folders. Went to search stuff with GMaps, and all worked Did steps to reboot and skip geolocation etc like "chairshot215" OP wrote 1 page back. I take no respons. If undertaken. either. lol. Also undertaken by me ( b4 all this) is I installed Gr4-update-modacocustomrom and afterwards the Gr5 ver.one, so I may be on 6.2.2 beneath it all. Maybe this helped /not . But it works! Luv the street view app and using mic and saying Chicago, Illinois- directly map goes. Even works on ics .Hope it clears it up. somewhat.

Yes, but for now I'm currently on cm7 and occasionally switching to ics. I'm actually nervous abut that Gr5 switch now considering it make jack this unit up.
For what it's worth here's the one I use now. From my gapps used in cm7 above. I think it overwrote when copied to system/apps , but like i said I did no install it.

Google eating through Sewage tank called Android System WebView. help..

Hello scholar buddies,
Yes google is eating through sewage. The Android System Webview app keeps running even when I have disabled it. It shows in the disabled apps' list, it shows disabled, but the force stop button is active time to time when I check. Yes it still runs back secretly even when disabled. This is a new sewage trick by google. Obviously for phone home stealing. How hungry one can be?
Non rooted xperia. Android 5.1.
What should I do? Any solutions?
Thanks.
Either root and delete it, or stop using that distinct browser.
Also, its not for any kind of theft. It allows your browser to display web functions which would not normally be shown due to programming limitations.

Havent rooted the phone yet, because I am waiting for a final update that will feel wholesome. Then I will root.
I have dissabled the Chrome and stock web browser, along with the Android System Webview. Isnt it suppose to keep itself dead when you have disabled it? But it wakes inside the Coffin, isnt it suspected to be definately programmed for some hidden purpose?

Possibly; but l guess it's ROM dependant a: if there is a disable button in app settings and b: what said button actually does.
Checking the disabled apps with the pm command listed should at least show if it's been disable via the package manager.

Yes, almost half of the system apps have 'disable' option activated without root. When apps are disabled they are totally non existant. Other apps depending upon them, either crash, or ask to install the particular needed app. No other(non-douchebag) app will pull out any disabled app. After the number one douchebag app 'Google Play services', 'Android System WebView' seems to be the douchescum sidekick.
I disabled many. All the apps obay the disabledness, except Android System WebView. It shows disabled, but poops out from time to time. After a while or the other when I check the app info, there you see the 'force stop' button is active again.

It still could be that the app isn't fully disabled; perhaps the 'disable' just turns of as much services/activities as possible.
Have you checked the pm command? (You can run that in terminal without root...)

The WebView is the system organ that manages the application that run internet (except chrome or Firefox )it allows the app to connect with Internet.
So find the application that is culprit try : Gsam

Its a Myth.
I already DISABLED it. And all the apps run and connect fine without it.
the purpose of the app is to render webpages for apps that don't have a built-in browser. An example would be google login page, which is web based (likely for security reasons) for when you want to allow an app access to your google account. It doesn't even have its own internet permission. Nor does it have any other hidden abilities. Think of it as an HTML Viewer for modern internet implementations. Definitely not a phone home app and definitely not as douchebaggey as the rest of googles apps. here is screenshots of the apps components http://imgur.com/a/CzW8r

Thank you for the report )
Good wishes for you.
But there is still the question-
Why does it run anyway, even if disabled? Why this bullysh act? If I am disabling important service (according to google bots ) , then stay disabled and give me errors in the system. Why run back?
I know I am going to nail it with root, but still raising the question.
Sounds an awful lot like you are being unreasonably paranoid in a slightly uneducated fashion frankly. I have it disabled on my non-rooted phone and it would take more than a Force Stop button being non-grayed out to worry me. Rather than jumping to conclusions and displaying hysteria symptoms why don't you actually confirm that is or is not running in the running processes.
Logic. It works.

Google ending support for Android Market on Android 2.1 and lower

Thanks for posting this. I wondered when the final axe would fall. Well, it's simpler if GApps are not installed anyway and it was getting more and more temperamental. All the more reason for people to share packages of apps that they are using which work well on the device so we can side-load them. They can't take that away!
Does anyone know if this will affect the license check-in for paid apps? :/
Wondering about Titanium Backup Pro especially, it seems to check in on almost every boot. It would suck if we couldn't use it on the Nook Touch anymore, even though there are some clumsy alternatives.
Oops! Tried installing the 1337 ROM from 9th April 2015... No support for Android Market makes the rom unusable
Definitely backup your entire device + your original recovery before installing clockworkmod or 1337 ROM
I will now rever to stock and probably use Nook Manager to root the stock ROM.
Such a shame, I was super excited ot try out what seemed to be the best NST ROM out there
If it wasn't for ending the support for google apps, it might have been a great improvement, oh well...
Anyone with similar experience?

July 2 and I can still use SearchMarket and install market apps....wonder if working installations are going to continue hobbling along?
Seems like it's gone for me. The market search function at least. The gmail app still works though.
How would you go about unlinking the NST from a google account all together?
It's not registered in the google device manager online, so I can't unlink it there.
I'm worried that things will start to wrong now when the framework is not supported anymore.

I'm surprised your gmail works. I could never keep mine going. It would retrieve mail OK but would only send for a few days and then have to be reinstalled to work for a few more days.
The only concern I have is GoogleBooks, but so far it's OK. I'm not sure you need Market access to sync mail or books, but down the line these older applications may be rejected as security concerns. Time will tell.
So far I see no sign of weirdness.
Edit: OK, today (July 4) my NST is officially independent of the Market. No server contact. However, Google Books still works at this point. I'm not sure you should do anything. You could uninstall SearchMarket but that's about it. After all, lots of people are signed into Google on various devices to get mail but do not access the PlayStore. Famous last words
I have disabled both MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk (found in /system/app) by renaming them as *.OLD. After a reboot I have seen no problems running the few apps I had actually obtained from the PlayStore or those I side-loaded. Note I do not have any for-pay apps.
It may be possible to also disable Talk.apk and any adjuncts as this is used to interface with the Market, but I'm not there yet. A good goal would be to quiet down any behind-the-scenes activity by apps that can't connect any longer but keep trying to phone home just to be sure. At the same time I'm trying to maintain sync capability so that, for example, Google Books will continue to work for as long as possible. This, it seems to me, is the only remaining reason to bother with the GApps package at all since Google Sync is enabled with it.
Hello everyone. A few days ago i took my phone wich was lying around in the dust (x10 mini pro). Happily switched on, connected to internet and hit on market, just to realize this happened.
So, is there some market for 2.1-update? I was thinking about F-droid, but, how about this?
PD: sorry for my english
