[Root][CWM][Unbloat] A200 one click tools - Acer Iconia A500

Hi everyone,
Today we have a one click root tool and an unbloat tool. Both work very well and I in no way take credit for these tools.
First off is SimpleTool by hbwelch.
This tool creates a one click bootloader unlock, root, and clockworkmod CWM recovery.
It works great and I have tested all three functions.
Download: AcerA200 SimpleTool V2
The unbloat tool by Toffy seems to work well. I do have a hand full of apps that still refuse to let me remove them but at least we can get rid of most of it.
I was told this link was not in my best interest to be hosting so it has since been taken down
These developers can be found at the Acertabletforum website.
Thank you to hbwelch and Toffy for your work!

The "Unbloat" tool has a bunch of copyrighted APKs in it. It's probably not allowed here on XDA

I would say if anything it is questionable ground. The tool is only trying to remount the apps so they can be removed. It isn't exploiting the copyrighted material.
Can .apks even be copyright protected?

Download the tool zip and you'll see that the actual APKs are in there. The tool /should/ just move them via ADB. It would make for a tiny download too

That would make more sense. I didn't create the tool though. Until I am certain the tool is against XDA policy I will keep it available. I don't believe there is anything wrong legally with simply having the APK. If that were the case Titanium Backup could also be in the wrong by backing up your system apps to a user accessible location.

Well no Titanium doesn't break any laws because it doesn't upload your APKs to rapidshare
I don't mind the tools being available but I wouldn't want you being banned for trying to help either the mods can get quite pedantic sometimes. I've already had a week's ban and I didn't even upload anything illegal to xda. I think I posted a link to a forum that was deemed bad. Lolol

I hear they frown upon linking to other forums. I think I will just take your advice and take it down. It doesn't work 100% anyway. :highfive:

Market alternative

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.
First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk
Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:
http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/
After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: [email protected].
Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.

Is there a way to see what's availible in your market from the computer?

Depends: A pretty way? No. A basic way? Yes.
http://app2.bikcmp.com/repo/files/ has a directory listing of the apk's, and you can download them from there too.

Update.zip signing

Dear Members, first of all hello to all..
I'm trying to create a update.zip file that removes the default applications that samsung puts on Samsung S and installs one or two more.
But I'm having a problem with the signing of update.zip
I have the struture:
system\app\xpto.apk
META-INF\com\google\android\update-script
and now I know I have to sign it but I dont seem to find a working tutorial, I've read some with signapk.jar and others without it...
Can someone plz point me in the right direction so that I can accomplish it?
Thanks

Looking for PayPal 2.2 apk..

Does anyone have this file? I cant get it on the market for some reason.
PayPal 2.2 please
Thanks!
Try this workaround to allow the downloading of copy protected applications (Paypal) from the Market.

How is this protected? Is that why it doesnt show up on the market at all?

Exactly. Any applications which the developer is using Google's copy protected DRM will not show up on the market. Only Google approved ROMs can download copy protected applications (So for the Epic 4G, this means only the official ROMs are currently approved; any Froyo beta ROM's would not be approved without some sort of workaround such as the link in post #2).
You can look it up to see if an app is copy protected:

You should just download an odexed, rooted stock zip. Its got all the apks you need, rather than continuously asking people for them

Native Hotspot Assistance

Once a deodexed rom is released it will be easier to test the hotspot mod out. Because not having the phone would require someone else that can Odex the files and test. This would be a pain because you would have to do that for each test. For now I am curious about something though. Is there anyone out there with the S5 that is paying for the hotspot? If so can you configure it and connect to it at least once, if you haven't already, and send me your services.jar and services.odex? You will probably need to be rooted in order to get to the files. Don't worry there won't be any sensitive information in the files.
I tried the mod you posted, same as was done on Note 2. Not sure if it worked or not as the build had some data issues, so couldnt comnect to test. It compiled and booted fine with the line deletion at least. Was easy enough to find
Gettin frustrated with getting the deodexed working to move on. Have some issues ive never seen before. Just Play store, Hangouts and Google Calendar sync FC's. Think its a GmsCore issue

Tried to open an official hotspot thread to work on native tetheing collectively as well as a guide to different ways to tether, its only a few posts below this one.

I used the same wifi tether app that works on Note 2 4.3 and did it without any special tricks.

Thanks for that! But you know how I am It is just my nature to use the native app. So if it can work that is best IMO. That way when I finally do get the 5 it is already waiting for me :victory:

Yeah I saw that. Thanks for sharing. I wanted this one to be specifically for getting the services files from someone that is paying for the service. So that is why I created a separate thread.

Thank you. Could you Odex your hotspot mod and try it with either your rom or stock to see if it works? If it works on Odex then you know it will work on deodexed once it is ready.
To get the native hotspot working, you need to:
update carriers set type="default,mms,dun" where apn="n.ispsn";
in the following file:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
This is what worked for me on Sprint North America. Just got it working today, was trying all the known tricks including rebuilding framework-res.apk with no luck. Be advised however I first used a sqlite app from the market and it added a space between mms and dun which did not work. I installed the sqlite3 binary and did that SQL command from adb shell. Can do more of a walk through if needed, let me know.
Edit: miked63017 beat me to it. Here's his flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52089811&postcount=9

His zip is admittedly different than the zip I made, mine runs a sqlite command in place, while his copies a premade db into place. Either way, lets get some feedback on how this thing is working...

Yeah but it is using the mod that you discovered. So you should be credited. And my other point is that your zip only adds the portion of the mod that is required. His replaces the entire db file which could cause issues.

It's not a big problem. I knew your zip was different. My only point is that Mike published the method of unlocking the hotspot first. So he should have been credited for finding the fix. That's it. You could have kept your zip alive if you wanted to. Although I still believe his install is safer.

Because his zip only does a sql update for the specific change that is required. You're zip replaces the entire db file. Nothing may ever come of that. But if a user had a db file which had different contents than the one you provide they would lose those changes. There is also a very slight possibility that permissions on that file could get corrupted when replacing it. Highly unlikely though. I'd be more concerned about the first possibility.

Ah, that makes sense now. Thanks.
lil update crawrj, the method we used the Note 2 doesnt fly on here. just tested on new Deodexed build. says I'm not subscribed...
and what do you know. I'm not
Would be a good idea to decompile sectelephonyprovider and see if those values in the database file can't be forced as default for all additions that have that apn field
