Changing Clipboard Data From The Shell
When you use the copy and paste function on your Pre the string has to go somewhere. Right? Well, from what I learned from tharris which was that the string goes to a file called webkit-clipboard which is located in the /tmp directory.
Steps
Step One: Root your Pre.
Step Two: Edit your clipboard file (you need to at least copy and paste something once for the file to show up)
vi /tmp/webkit-clipboard
Tip: for more info on how to use vi, remember Google is your friend...
