How to have OEM Packages from ROM,
for example: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_2.03.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe

You gotta dump the ROM with a kitchen first then use the tool to open the OEM folder.

[APP] findutils 4.2.33 (updatedb / locate) for Android

Introduction
As I like to stay connected via Putty to my Android phone, from time to time I missed the functionality of updatedb / locate that I so got used to within Linux environment.
I've decided to cross compile the findutils package (I couldn't get the latest version 4.4.2, but an older before, 4.2.33).
Screenshot
You can see the updatedb command followed by some locate commands.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Installation
Busybox is required.
1. Copy the archive onto your /sdcard/ folder.
2. mount your /system folder as read-write
3. cd /system/
4. tar xf /sdcard/findutils-4.2.33.tar.gz
It is mandatory that you are inside /system/ folder when you extract the archive.
Then you have to create the database (using updatedb script). It will take a bit of time - but not too much.
Then you can use the locate command giving any part of a file name that you can remember, you can also use wildcards!
Observations
1. No integration with cron / etc. If you know your updatedb database is out of date, rebuild it using "updatedb"
2. Busybox comes with a /system/xbin/find command. The trouble with it is that it doesn't support the fstype argument, and thus, updatedb cannot prune some standard file system type paths. However, the bundled package here comes with its own find utility which unpacks into /system/bin/find.
3. Busybox is required for sort / sed, but updatedb script is patched to use the /system/bin/find (its own find executable) instead of the default busybox one.
4. My phone did not have an /etc/mtab file (list of mounts which mount is supposed to update whenever something happens). Thus, there is a line in the updatedb script which recreates that file on each updatedb invocation (mount > /etc/mtab). If you phone / tablet has it, please modify updatedb script and remove the mount command.
Download
Use it at your own risk!
findutils-4.2.33.tar.gz

This is great! Thanks for your work!
I hope that there will be a file manager for android which uses updatedb/locate to index/search files in the future, that would be sooooo awesome!

Don't know about other software that searches - but it would be nice too.
Maybe I can create something, but I'm sure there are others more integrated - such as looking in SMSes or in mails too, etc.

nice! find takes for ever lol now i have locate!

Any chance of getting the code. Did you create your own Android.mk? Did you use the FindUtils make?

When I run updatedb, I get these errors:
/system/bin/find: /preload: Value too large for defined data type
/system/bin/find: /storage/sdcard0: Value too large for defined data type
/system/bin/find: /system: Value too large for defined data type
/system/bin/find: /data: Value too large for defined data type

Thanks for your efforts, I guessed it needed a rebuild from a google, but given how long ago you posted this I didn't think it would happen. Looking forward to the update!

MD5 CHECKSUMS
Sometimes downloading from the internet can yield a corrupt download. To prevent this, make sure you always check the md5 checksum (also known as "md5sum") of the file. This method verifies the digital integrity of the file by verifying its digital signature with the MD5 algorithm.
After you download each file, make sure to check that the md5sum matches what is given.

How to check the md5sum of a file:
Windows:
For windows you need to download the md5sum binary. I recommend the one from my dev-host.
After that, copy the file you're trying to verify to the directory where where you downloaded the "md5sum.exe"
Once that is finished, do SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK (inside the folder window) and choose "Open command window here"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):
Code:
md5sum fileNameHere
That will output a hash, which you can compare to the ones above.
Linux: No need to download anything, md5sum binaries are included in all distros, as far as I know.
Open a terminal and type the following ("fileNameHere" must include the extension):
Code:
$ cd path/to/download/folder
$ md5sum fileNameHere
Two important notes:
This method can be used with any files you download, as long as the download site (or the dev themself) provides the correct md5sum.
If any of the digits do not match exactly, you need to download the file again.

Updated 3.6.13
Changelog:
Added HTC BMP USB Driver for Windows 64 bit
Added HTC Driver 4.0.1.001.exe AND extracted HTCDriver_4.0.1.001.msi

But thanks for the heads-up, OP updated

Updated OP with md5 checksum's and how-to

Bump

Thank you for posting this, been looking for it a while.

No problem

Updated Drivers to version 4.1.0.001.
Two important note, from here on out I will also be including fast links for the Sync setup files (HTC Sync and Sync Manager), as well as a SyncManager_XXXXX_STRIPPED.exe which will literally be ONLY the Sync Manager program, all drivers stripped out from it (as in, it won't install any drivers, hence a much smaller file size).
You will now be able to find the FULL setup files for HTC Sync and Sync Manager inside the Original HTC Sync Folder of the linked mediafire folder in the OP. This will provide a much faster download if you do want to install either one, rather than a capped speed download from the HTC site itself.
Well here's the changelog
Updated on 4.23.13
HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.msi
HTCDriver_4.1.0.001.exe
HTCPluginChecker.exe
HTCSync_3.3.21.exe

Hi guys, I've made a batch command program to Archive and Extract files to zips. Why would you use this? Well, back at the time where I was porting backwards and forwards, I worked in a certain folder, then I just have to click on my batch command and it automatically get's zipped.
How does it work:
Extracting: Place your zip in /EXTRACT/INPUT and your file will be extracted to /EXTRACT/OUT
Compressing: Place your zip in /COMPRESS/INPUT and your file will be compressed in the folder /COMPRESS/OUT
Signing: After you Compressed your files, you just select sign and it will be named " updated-signed "
Note:- At the moment the tool and it's folders need to be ran from the desktop!
Ui:
It's a very basic command prompt.
What I'm working on:
I am going to add the following features:
The ability to Root and Unroot Ace
The ability to Odex and Deodex Ace
The ability to Add scripts to Ace.
The ability to be ran from anywhere not just the Desktop.
Installer and windows Ui.
ADB Tools
Sign Apk's
This shall later on be renamed to something like : The Ace All-In-One tool.

APKTOOL FOR WINDOWS
First and foremost thanks to @iBotPeaches for his dedication to Apktool!
Because I can double-click more accurately than I can type, I made this up to avoid having to use command line and speed up modding the couple of apks that I try to keep up on. Maybe it'll help a few others speed up their process too.
Now, this is a Windows based GUI for Apktool. No command line needed. That said, you should be very familiar with already using Apktool via command line so you know the process that it follows and the corrective measures needed should errors pop up. You need to have the exact same setup as Apktool (Java in your environment path and current Java version AND relevant frameworks installed via apktool!! ). All that this does is provide a simple Windows style menu for the process. You can very easily update apktool.jar as @iBotPeaches updates it. Also, if you would like to add any switch to the decompile or compile command other than the typical (which is what I used) you can just modify the corresponding .bat file located in SupportFiles that APKTool For WIN calls on.
See the attached screenshots in the following post for the easy to follow layout and it's capabilities. It will install frameworks/etc, decompile, compile (with or without original manifest and meta-inf), sign (with testkey or your personal one), and display an apktool log.
As this directly uses apktool.jar, it will have the same quirks/issues such as this current one:
10/18/2016 - for apktool v2.2.1 regarding v2 signed apps - LINK​
V4 - As I was posting this, I noticed there was an update to apktool.jar (v2.2.1) which I updated the file to reflect. I modded several apps with the earlier version but only attempted two apps with the updated one (didn't see any issue with either app but I'm still on MM). I haven't looked more in depth at this V2 signed apps issue yet to see if I can modify the signing.bat to account for it (it's 230am). I will update it if there is.
V5 - (1) Updated apktool.jar to 2.2.2 if you haven't already yourself and (2) added java version info in your log file on Decompile routine to help identify a beginners issue on determining whether or not you have java installed in your path

Copy apks to the "APKs_To Decompile" folder.
Copy your framework-res, twframework-res, systemUI as needed to the folder "Frameworks".
Install frameworks.
Running the APKTool For WIN.exe select Install Frameworks
Decompile.
Select Decompile .apk
Choose your apk.
Decompiled app will be in the Decompiled folder.
Compile.
Select Compile
Choose your app to compile.
(One backup will be automatically created if there is an existing one to be safe in the decompiled app's folder)
Choose to copy the original manifest and meta-inf if desired
Compiled apk will be in the Compiled folder
Sign.
Select Sign APK
Choose the apk to sign.
Choose to sign with the testkey or with your personal key (help file is included in the zip for initial setup for using your own key)
Signed apk will be in the Signed folder
APKTool Log
If an Error message is displayed after decompiling or compiling you can check the log.
It's also beneficial to clear the log sometimes.

reserved for future use, faqs, issues

hmmm......after being away for a while i'm checking back to see if anyone had issues with trying to use this....and.......
not a single issue/question/comment with nearly 100 downloads. you guys are GOOD!!! (unless y'all think it's pointless and are being too kind to comment )
in the next few days, i'll use it a bit more in depth with the updated source and see if anything needs tweaking

Great tool !! I like it , this is solve my problems.
thank you so much , please keep it up.

Small update - V5
1. Updated to apktool 2.2.2 in case you haven't already done so yourself.
2. Added your java version info to the log generated when you run a Decompile routine to help beginners identify whether or not java is in the required path
