Unfortunately, its not that simple. All of the time conversion routines
are in the C library. Unless you have the latest version of S5.3 with
its sharable libraries, the code is compiled into EVERY program which
makes use of them.

So, your answer is - yes, you could do it with adb, assuming that the
programs are not striped, and you are happy to hack ALL of your progs.
