[Dev]Files of interest in the system

---

Alright, just got my hands on a system dump courtesy of loglud so I will be posting files (text files will include content that peaked my interest) here so me and other devs can see what we are able to toy with.

systemdump download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/SystemDump.zip


Current list:
/system/media/bnapps_icons\ <-- we can mod the app icons that come with the device so we can make it less-sucky.
/system/etc/bluetooth/blacklist.conf <-- referencing the bluetooth chip meaning we just have to find a way to activate it
/system/app/settings.apk <-- anyone think they can actually replace this with another gingerbread apk or decompile and discover if there is a custom intent? Warning: It does NOT work at all. I suggest against swapping the apk's out as it causes a force close.
/system/bin/bootanimation *Was told where it searches for bootanimations first so goto this thread for a new bootanimation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1361735

Nice finds. Bluetooth will be intesting to test (about to do it right now).

As you know the Nook has a heavily modified framework, so I don't know if the stock settings app will work (but I'm about to find out and probably fark up my tablet).

Let me know how it goes anlog.

Hmm . . . let me get a hold of it and I'll look at it tomorrow, I've already taken the rest of the week off (Diablo III beta key came in tonight).

You may not need to change out the settings.apk but just add another one to it.

I decided to hold off on swapping the settings.apk. Losing access to the real settings app with all of the Nook options might not be a good idea.

The main reason I wanted a full settings menu was to be able to get into the accounts sync settings, but I found an app to launch it.

Warning: It does NOT work at all. I suggest against swapping the apk's out as it causes a force close.

It's a binary file. This app executes bootanimation resources.
Example: on T-Mobile MyTouch 4G resources are in /system/customize//resource/htc_bootanimation.zip

You should search for bootanimation.zip and you can edit this archive

I read note, if you want edit system apps like Settings.apk you should sign them by personal keys only...

I was looking through and couldnt find a bootanimation.zip in the system so I'm checking the data folders now.

edit: What the hell, still can't find it.

I was using Absolite system to see if I could replace the bootanimation because I couldn't find it either. I did manage to make it go away and just had the splash screen. I'll look into this further today as well. I'm starting to get ideas as to which files you can and can't replace right now. Some will force an immediate reboot and get stuck in a boot loop. I also am trying to find what triggers and handles the home button menu, I am sure it is in the framework. I have framework.jar and services.jar decompiled and going through those as well. Reviewing logcats to see what I can track down. I have some other interesting stuff going as well
