Plugged in the tab 3 and it updated the firmware. new version number: 43.31226
It seems it has completely changed how it records and adds games and books etc.
Screenshot HERE
notice the new folder called Appdata
I tried different programs in Windows to open them. In Notepad++ it shows what appears to be a mix of Chinese and Korean characters. I copied and pasted a selection to Google translate and those are what it 'recognized'
I was a bit alarmed that the translation to English contained words like rape, as well as some other like Acer Monitor. Mostly seemed to be random words.
I can only conclude that the coders started using Chinese characters at random to represent their encoding. I believe they are trying to circumvent efforts like ours to customize or 'hack' our tabs.
Anyway, have a look at the files I will try and get a dump a bit later of the update. perhaps it will help shed more light on the situation.
Also the Innopad_wf.db file seems to not be used anymore. I had added a couple entries to test whether I could get the system to recognize the other games and books. Didn't work. Also seems like the regular folders don't seem to contain anything but the *??*.ita files for games and books.
Now the pic and music and video folders seem to be unchanged, I am guessing because those are able to be changed by the child while using the tab.
More later when I can get a dump file.
