I have quite rare Kyocera phone as a gift. A limited number of that phones was special developed for my local mobile operator for testing-only purposes back in 2006. It is based on MSM6500 and doesn't have any webbrowser BREW applications in it. I wonder if I could upload any locally compiled BREW files in it i.e. example .mif/.bar files from BREW SDK 2.1? I have digged the file system using QPST EFS Explorer. Can I copy *.bar files directly to the phone? How to install brew application to the local phone, if it is possible?

My setup
macOS 10.15.7
The recent macOS can access iOS app documents on a physically connected device directly from Finder. But this process seems to need human intervention.
I wonder if I could retrieve my iOS app's file from Finder programmatically using AppleScript or JAX. So far I haven't found a way
Thanks!
Solved it myself.
The solution is not exactly as my title but it does the job: I can now access app documents from macOS programmatically without modifying my app code.
Short answer
I can use ifuse as part of libimobiledevice.
Details
Here are the steps taken.
Install macFUSE , which
allows you to extend macOS's native file handling capabilities via
third-party file systems.
mine is 4.0.5.
Install ifuse and ideviceinstaller from Homebrew.
brew install ifuse
mine is 1.1.4.
brew install ideviceinstaller
mine is 1.1.1.
Find your app's App ID using ideviceinstaller.
ideviceinstaller -l | grep "my_keyword"
This gives your app's ID and name. Assume tat the id was com.my.app
Mount the Documents folder, e.g., onto my desktop.
mkdir -p "~/Desktop/myappdoc"
ifuse --documents com.my.app "~/Desktop/myappdoc"
Now my app folder is mounted at the specified location.
To unmount so that next time around my script can still mount the drive at the same location,
umount "~/Desktop/myappfoc"
I have installed Dropbox in Windows 7. Also, installed Ubuntu Linux 14.04 in parallel. Through online login to Dropbox account allows access to files in Dropbox. However, to work with the files in Dropbox I have to install Dropbox in Linux also. This require additional space in the same PC. So, is it possible to access and work with files in Dropbox#Windows7 without installing Dropbox in Ubuntu (which is installed in the same PC parelelly)?.
You can access windows disks in linux, you just need to map it correctly. Then you can do whatever you want with files. But dropbox magic will not work until you load windows again.
Only when you bootup from windows again, since it is dropbox app that does syncing. What you may do is to deploy dropbox on both windows and linux, but point them to the same data folder. Still there could be some problems with text files, as windows and linux are not treating line endings the same way. So if a file was synchronized in windows, it will have windows endings, and vice-versa.
Maybe you could configure a remote filesystem on a USB-Stick so both your systems can access on it and you have a directory where dropbox stores the files.

According this tutorial, I should remove all HDDs I do not want to install chromium OS to during install. I wanted to try this guide on my imac using an external SSD for chromeos. Obviously, removing the HDD isn't an option. Will the chromiumOS installer format my mac drive too, if I don't remove it?
AS the writer of that tutorial I can hopefully help you. When you install Chromium OS to begin with you can specify where to install to if you know your unix commands well enough. and then from there you can update to Chrome OS once you have your external working for you.
To find out what your hard drive is when connected, open a terminal (you may need to use a developer terminal) and use the command "fdisk -l" This will list your hard drives. for example /dev/sda1 etc...
Your install command would be "Install /Dev/sda1" but replace the dev part with whatever your hard drive was listed as. If you need further help email me at admin#xiaorishu.co.uk
I'm pretty new to rails and I'm trying to get an application working. It's currently using ffi and typhoeus which need a version of libcurl. How can I install a version of libcurl for Windows 7.
Thanks!
There's one option I implemented but couldn't install only libcurl packages. Cygwin provides lots of the packages and libraries used for development in Linux for being installed on Windows (included curl, libcurl, libcurl-dev, etc).

It worked for me in windows 7 64 bit OS.
Here's another solution for that specific gem
https://github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus/pull/151/files
Greetings.
Answer that worked for me was:
Download cURL from the following URL: https://curl.haxx.se/windows/ (I chose 64bit because that's the system I'm using)
Go into the archive and browse to /bin
Locate libcurl_x64.dll (it may be just libcurl.dll)
Extract to your local drive
Rename it to libcurl.dll if it has the _x64 suffix
Cut + paste the file into the /bin directory of your Ruby installatio
It should work after this
Is is possible to automate the installation of an OS using VMware or any other virtualization product?
One of our products consists of a customized version of CentOS that installs the OS and our application on a server. It's much like any CentOS/RHEL installation where you choose a mode that corresponds to different kickstart options, and then you choose your keyboard type. The rest of the installation is automatic.
What I'd like to have is an automated system that will create a new guest VM, boot it with the ISO image of our product, start the installation (including choosing the keyboard), wait for the reboot, and then launch a set of automated tests.
I know that there are plenty of ways to automate the creation of new VM guests from existing templates/images, and I know you can use the VIX API to interact with virtual machines, but the VIX API seems to require that VMware tools is already running (which won't be the case when you're booting from the CentOS install disk).
This answer (Automating VMWare or VirtualPC) indicates that you can script VMware to boot from an ISO that does an unattended installation, but I would really like to test the same process that our customers will be using.
Another option might be to use Xen's fully-virtualized mode and see if scripting it over the serial port will work.
TIA,
Jason
I have a very very similar question, it is on superuser:
https://superuser.com/questions/36047/moving-vmware-os-image-as-primary-os-on-a-system
You can also use VirtualBox instead of VMWare. The VirtualBox SDK allows you to directly control the keyboard, the mouse the serial port and the parallel port of the guest without the virtualbox guest tools installed.
Unfortunately it doesn't offer a text console interface but the serial port can be connected to a local pipe file and that can probably be worked with just as well.
This may not be exactly what you need:
I have done something similar with a Ubuntu-based install. We used preseeding (Debian's form of kickstart), to answer all the questions during the install - providing the preseed file and the installer via tftp.
In addition to the official Ubuntu mirror we added the apt-server with our own packages in the preseed file. We put a .deb version of vmware-tools on the apt-server and added it to the packages to be installed.
The .deb of vmware tools just contained the .tar.gz and a postinstall script that would extract it to /tmp and run the vmware install script (which has a switch to be run unnattended, so it does not ask any questions).
So after the reboot vmware-tools were up and running and we could use vix to script the rest (which was not very reliable).
If you should encounter problems with running vmware-config.pl during boot, you could make a custom package that just extracts the tools and an init script that installs them on first boot, disables itself and reboots.
Maybe you can use this strategy (replacing apt by yum, preseed by kickstart and tftp by a remastered iso). If you really need to test that your users choose a keyboard in the installer (which is not very different from kickstart) this would obviously not work for you..
