[APP] SGS Tools

View the sourcecode on google Code!
Don't let the app die, develop for it/include its features in another app.
Latest version (4.1.9) can be found on page #37

Hi,
I have written an app, which contains useful functions specially for the Galaxy S imho.
It can do the following things:
-Secret codes list (contains at the moment 31 codes)
(Don't worry clicking around, there will appear a popup if you have selected factory/hard reset )
-System clean up: this means you can delete all system apps you don't like with 1 click. It will remove the .apk, the .odex and the data directory.
It won't let you delete apps that will "brick" your phone, so very useful for android beginners.
-MarketFix: This sets the Fingerprint in the build.prop to JF3 (2.1) and cleares the market cache. After a day you should see 120 hits when searching for "documents".
Useful if you are using a test Firmware and don't see copy protected apps in market.
-Homescreen Settings: In this Menu you can set the default screen (press the home button when you are already on the home screen) and the screen count.
Only works with some Firmwares! Works for example with JM5, JM7.
-Move SGS Tools to System: This will save the app on the device if you do a factory/hard reset. You can also undo this.
-Run a script.
This menu can run scripts, which are written as .txt files.
Simply write every command in a new line and put the script.txt to /sdcard/sgstools.
It checks the inputstream of the process, for example if you want to notify the user about progress with "echo /sdcard/test removed", this will appear in the progressdialog. It also checks the errorstream and will display, if for example a command could not be found.
- Enable/Disable boot/shutdown sound or place custom sounds

-Last but not least, you can add shortcuts to homescreen, which let you run commands. Useful for example as shutdown, reboot recovery, reboot, etc.
There's a bug in 2.2 Firmwares, which won't let you pick custom icons for shortcuts! (I tested it on 2.2 Emulator and also anycut won't set an icon on 2.2 Firmwares..)

That's it. Hope you like it.
(Sorry, it's not on the market - I don't have a market account yet )

PS: Press Menu Button to access further menus.
PPS: It uses a custom menu
PPPS: Rotate the device, and you will see in some menus a rotation animation!

Hope it works

Update Version: v1.3

FOR THOSE THAT ARE SEARCHING FOR THE FULL "/sgstools" DIRECTORY WITH ALL WORKING .TXT SCRIPTS AND STOCK JPY FULL-WORKING BACKUPPED APPS, THEN HERE YOU GO!!





CHANGELOG::

v1.3:
a) Added script for fixing all those apps that do not save internal settings!! (thanks to XlAfbk) If you have an app that starts with old settings or you're unalbe to change them at all, well..this should probably fix that!
>> [script is called set_dbdata-databases_correct_owner_&_delete_dead_subfolders_by-PIRATA!.txt]
b) Added script for fixing bad working Auto-Rotate & Compass (Maps) sensors! (thanks to ziggy2031) This scripts deletes the internal system config file for sensors forcing the system to restore a new one. Use this script if you have those sensors working bad OR not working at all!
>> [script is called delete_auto-rotate_&_compass_sensors_by-PIRATA!.txt]
c)Removed all JPY backups because are now obsolete!
If you'd like to add new updated backups, just extract them from the stock Rom you use and past manually the .apk files (and .odex files if not deodexed) in the /sgstools/ folder in your internal sdcard.

v1.2:
a) Added new Contacts app by ock in the /Upgrade Stock apps (APKs) folder (under private subfolder).
>> [file is called Contacts.(SGSTools-Modded-app-showing-all-letters_by-ock).apk]

v1.1
a) Added /Upgrade Stock apps (APKs) folder with all those files that are dowloadable from SGSTools using the "Upgrade Stock apps" menu section.
Note: Upgrade tw launcher with all alternative TouchWiz launchers are missing -->> refere to [MOD] TouchWizGTG Launcher thread on XDA because they come from there!
b) Added script for deleting /dbdata/databases subfolders (thanks to stuartmm)
>> [file is called create_script_for_deleting_ALL_dbdata-databases_subfolders_by-PIRATA!.txt]


You need the last SGS Tools ver. 4.1.9 (English Version) app installed and working on your sgs!!

I do NOT know if it works for the SGS Tools ver. 4.1.9 (German Edition) too!! Please give me feedback about this and I'll edit the post!!



INSTALLATION::
Just extract the linked archive on your computer and copy the /sgstools folder so to overwrite it over the SGSTools folder located in your internal sdcard (exact folder to overwrite: /sdcard/sgstools)




If you have problems overwriting from computer, try to use Root Explorer from phone:

1. copy on external sd
2. if you don't have any external sd, rename the /sgstools folder on your computer in some other way like /sgstools_new and copy it in the internal sdcard
3. open Root Explorer and select Mount R/W on top>righ (if not already in R/W mode)
4. go to /sdcard directory (always check if you are in R/W mode)
5. rename the original /sgstools folder to something like /sgstools_old
6. now for the new folder:
   1. if you have copied in external sd the new /sgstools folder, just copy/past it in /sdcard directory
   2. if you have copied in internal sdcard the new /sgstools_new folder, just rename it in /sgstools
7. Now you can run SGSTools!

PAY ATTENTION AT THE FOLLOWING THINGS!! ::

1. All the stock SGSTools .TXT scripts will be overwrited!! If you have modded them, make backups of them!!
2. If you have already applied some patches, STSTools should have done an automatic backup for those apps in your /sgstools folder located in your internal sdcard (/sdcard/sgstools)
3. If it is your case and if you will overwrite your /sgstools folder with this folder provided by me, you will overwrite ALL of your backups!! This happens because this folder contains ALL the STOCK JPY .APK/.ODEX files that could be backupped by SGSTools when applying a script to a phone using stock JPY rom
4. The apps are: Browser, Camera, Contacts, Email, Gallery3D, TouchWiz30Launcher and Vending (for the Vending app there is only the .APK file because this proveded here is the last official market app updated by it self after first use that does not come with .ODEX file)
5. You could also find the new clean_thumb_db.txt script file from Quacktop, but here is renamed as clean_thumb_db.txt.NEW_FILE_by_Quacktop so that you could choose if use it or not (rename the original SGSTools clean_thumb_db.txt file in something like clean_thumb_db.txt.OLD and then rename the new script in clean_thumb_db.txt)
6. There is also the new Contacts.apk file extracted from the "flashable by CWM file DXJPE_contacts_fix.zip" made by biohazard.tan, but here is renamed as Contacts.apk.DXJPE_contacts_fix_by_biohazard-tan so that you could decide to apply it manually using Root Explorer (copy/past overwriting with R/W support in the /system folder + DELETE the Contacts.odex if present!!)

I hope this could be useful for someone.
Cheers


EnJoY! ;-)

Sorry to hear that.
Thanks for your work.
Try to keep it up.

Sry, but I just removed the app from market.
I don't have the time to support this, since many features does not work properly on galaxy version xyz or due to some bugs...

If someone wants to continue developing this app, I can provide him the sourcecode.
