How to send files from Android to iPhone (and vice versa) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys,
Thought I might let everyone know of a way I worked out to send files from my Adroid (Galaxy S) to my girlfriends iPhone. I've written a blog, so check it out.
http://denno020.blogspot.com/
I talk about some of the ways that you would think of making it happen, and why they didn't work (in my case anyway).
I reckon it's a pretty clever way to get it done.
Hope someone finds use for it!

Its not the best way to send or receive file due to it have to access internet. Android could sent or receive file using bluetooth after it rooted

Yeah you're right, but the problem wasn't on my end, it was with her iPhone not being able to accept the bluetooth as it's really only made for connecting to hands free devices.
And again you're right about the need for internet, but I doubt very much many people wouldn't have internet access on their smart phone. I could be wrong, but it just didn't seem like it would be a problem..

Really? Didn't even think to try it.. Will have to give it a go. But does this work from Android to iPhone? Or just between Android devices?

errr what is bump ?

What about a solution involving setting up a Portable Hotspot on your Android phone and then your iPhone navigates to the web address and downloads the files there.
Free software such as PAWS acts as a web server on the Android phone - then the iPhone can access it.

File transfer to iphone
Hey I found a cool way to transfer files to iPhone. I downloaded an android app called andftp. Then sshed into my jailbroken iPhone thru ssh, this allowed me to see and transfer files. An unexpected find was that my android Fone was not rooted but I could browse all my android files systems. As well as my iPhone file systems. I hope this helps someone and allows the rooting of more androids out there.

How do you install andriod apps on a tilt 8925?

I downloaded and installed the android SDK with AVD and the drivers for USB connection. I read through their documentation and it should just pull up the hardware change, search where you then browse for that driver... but that new hardware profile never comes up. So how can I install android apps to the Tilt 8925 Kaiser?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer

(I didn't see any posts relating in the threads so far, sry if I missed it)
Thats not a android phone.
It is now
Well I put the android technology on it (a huge part of this site) so it's running like an android phone. So my question is then: Can I put android apps on my android hacked phone? I've seen people posting about how they have but I can't get mine to install the USB Drivers. I tried installing them manually into System32 with no luck so apkInstaller for example won't recognize it.
Is it possible? anyone?
It's probably better to ask in the Kaiser forums or threads from android images packaged for other WinMo devices.
One way we be to upload the apk to a webserver, then download and install it from the browser.
Lol Android on non-Android devices isn't meant to actually be used normally yet. It's more of a toy. Until that side of Android development gets a bit further, I don't think you'll be seeing much of what you can do on your WinMo device.
I'll try that
Ok thanks for the advice. I'll keep trying and post if i get it
Try this: Create a folder on the root of your SD card called AndroidApps, and put the .apk in there. Boot into Android and it should show up
HAH!!!
Well that was easy! I've got it easier than real android havers haha! So much for not being able to do it. Thanks DaveTheGuy. Must have something to do with the name!
Thanks Again!

[Q] android OS on apple android touch 1st gen

Hey guys
i hope this thread doesnt already exsist. If it does im sorry!
I have been doing some research and have discovered that you can jailbreak a apple ipod touch first generation and put android on it. I have rooted many phones however i have never jailbroken an ipod and was wondering if anyone has done this yet and has established a simple tutorial on how to do it. There isnt really a clear way on the internet. I trust this forum more than any other.
Has anyone done this?
there are several links on Youtube.
Thanks guys !
Jailbreaking in normal is very easy.... You only have to start a exe (called blackra1n.exe) edit me if im wrong.
lol screw that u know.. just grab your ipod go to www.jailbreakme.com with your ipod's safari, slide the thing voila done
jailbreaking..... check.
android on ipod touch....... anyone.....
i really want to know if this can be done too..
Look for openiboot in google,i have it on ipt 1g works but runs quite slow

nipple head could you kinda give us a quick run down of what steps you had to take to get this done?
id really appreciate it =]
Go check out www.idroid.it with google translate they have the easy steps and u need linux to do it

[Q] port wm6.5.3 to our android device?

I feel like we are only thinking one sided, android devices should be able to boot windows mobile. I would do it but I dont know where to start.
maybe i will try and flash a wm6.5.3 wqvga rom to mytouch 3g and see what happens since they have native capacitative support in the os now.
somebody mind pointing me in the right direction?
wtf would you want windows on this? i would point you in direction of buying a windows device
only for try..i want to try win mob. on my magic..i don't like win but if i can choose with a bootloader if start android or win mob. ............so WoooW
if win mob is hard to port...we can try to port iOs... no??
(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)
if Apple users can port Android on iFron, why we can't port iOS on Android devices???
I don't like WM either, but i think it would be nice to see iOS on Android...but in my opinion it is impossible.. if it was possible, somebody would do it already..
lele5800, because Android is open operating system, you can modify sources and build it for any device.
iOS and WM are closed..

If I make an iOS theme, does that mean I've 'ported' iOS? of course not, you can't use those words interchangeably.

you see you all miss the strong points of windows mobile. not only could i open view and edit office files i could open and send directly from my email (outlook mobile) i have a mytouch 3g and honestly dont like it even with froyo. the only reason i got this lacking device is because i broke my touch pro2
there are so many things I can do that i cant do on android with out a force close.
and if android is soo "cool" why not run windows mobile for people that need that good office integration for work since jobs are hard to find here in america.
I thought it would be a good idea. android to me is for people who would like to seem smart with out the need of actual know how.
the developers on the other hand seem smart to me remembering all the sudo command lol
but I seen my personal compatibility flaws with android when i couldnt open a docx or a doc file directly from my email and/or save it where I wanted to.
so dont down me for wanting better integration.
android looks nice. thats about it. the keyboard onscreen likes to close on its own and never come back. too often. so please if you arent helping the port dont say that other chitter chatter. cause the **** don't matter.

What the flying **** are you talking about? If you hate Android so much sell your myTouch3G and GTFO.
All the "flaws" your talking about aren't even real issues. File manager? Did you spend 1 minute looking through the market for a file manager app?
Opening the limitation to opening a docx file is part of the design by Microsoft why the **** would they want people to be able to open and edit documents with software that isn't getting them money? And why the **** would you want to edit your docs on a 3.2inch touch screen. FAIL
The Keyboard likes to close and never come back? That has never happened to me. You're using your phone wrong.
So android is for idiots?
Were you any smarter than you are you would have a bunch of apps that do all the things you want them to do. For example DocsToGo is an excellent program compatible with ms office files.
Android runs perfectly if you know what to run on your device. try running windows 7 on Intel 386. Works well,huh?
Exactly, your **** does not matter.
Windows mobile..never again.
Windows Phone 7.. wortha try next month
I only mentioned that some have making something for magic, but unfortunately, certains members instead of providing more, they talk and talk.
I think that is not the purpose of this forum.
your reply does not help its purpose either.

Has there been an MTP fix for Mac?

Is the no mpt for pissing anyone else off, because i'm at the point where i'm ready to sell, please don't link me to those crappy .sh files they work but they're annoying and don't access the internal portion
Idk what you're asking but you should use "Airdroid" in the Play Store for wireless file transfers from computer to GSIII.

To anyone who doesn't know:
The GS3 doesn't communicate with a Mac out of the box (And it is a royal pain in the a). You need a special program from Google called Android File Transfer.
To the OP: no, there's no fix, at least that I know of, and trust me I've looked... And it sucks. Everyone always suggests these programs from the play store, but they all SUCK!!
Android File Transfer was amazing, when it worked. All we can really hope for is a fix from either Google or Samsung to make it work again.
Samsung has a program called kies, which still sucks but is OK for syncing music...
Personally I've resorted to boot camp. Whenever I need to sync something I just boot up windows on my Mac.

google samsung sg3 easy ums fix, you will be able to mount external sd card easily not internal , it will look like another drive. works with my mid 2011 macbook air with snow mountain lion.
as for the internal portion , your only choice is airdroid. it does every thing, delete , upload , etc... airdroid does nto require active tethering, passive is just fine. I personally use airdroid a lot.
P.s. root required for ums fix ( like every android phone , without root , the phone is as useless as an iphone )
1st off, MAJOR Thanks To all that replied.
2nd I tried all those "App's" and "Fixes"
I've been trying to communicate with the devs they haven't really said anything,
Everything worked on Touchshiz.
I'm really thinking bout selling the device.

I thought about selling mine, I bought an iPhone 5 because of the fact that the GS3 sucks with a Mac, but I decided that there are things I like about the GS3 & Android so I just have both phones. I have 2 lines so why not.
iPhone is not useless either, as a previous poster mentioned.

See but the bad thing is...is the new nexus going to play well with Mac?
Idk if the new nexus is going to have the same storage system as the GS3. I'm not too techy with the internals so not sure how it all works...
And don't forget...a jail broken iPhone is just as amazing as a rooted Android. I personally love both, it's a curse cause I always want the newest iPhone & greatest Android phone... every year........haha

What is wrong with Android File Transfer? I don't think I've updated it since I had my Galaxy Nexus early this year, but I've been using it since I picked up my GS3 a week ago and it works just fine for both internal storage and the SD card...

It used to work for me. Then I OTA'd and bam.
What rom are you on? The vralg7 (or whatever it was called)(4.0.4?) OTA made Android File Transfer not work with GS3 anymore.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
yeah all these f'ing OTA updates did for me was make my phone black screen of death CRASH all the time requiring battery pull, break Android File Transfer to my Mac, and make my phone run hotter. Which is probably because of that stupid Verizon remote "assistance" crap bloat they put in so they can probably record everything we are doing.
Verizon screws everything up. Wish another carrier had as good of LTE. I am probably going to exchange this for Note II because of these problems. I expect VZ to pay for it or most of it.
Unless Google goes back on their work, the MTP standard will continue. I see it as unlikely for connectivity to Macs to improve for ICS+ phones until Google provides a better tool.

What I've been running into on Apple's Support Forums is that AFT seems to work best only up to 10.6, some have had success with 10.7 and most are reporting absolute failure with Mountain Lion. I'd use AirDroid but my MacPro doesn't have a WiFi antennae, unless it can go through my router somehow as Kies Air does?
Has there been any progress on this?

what's app alternative for tablet

So for the past year or so I've been using whatsapp. The main reasons? It's cross platform and the ability to group instant message. My parents, sister, wife, in law's... My entire family has adopted it on my account. And it's great, for mobile phones. But yesterday I bought a nexus 7 and discovered it won't work on tablets. So basically I'm now trying to find either a way to get it to work on the nexus (preferably) or any alternative that suits our needs.
Basically, it's a cry for help. But I'd love to hear from you guys. Any suggestions are welcome.

Rumors (in other words, not necessarily true or false, but not confirmed).
I'd suggest you use something like Skype, GTalk or another IM that doesn't use phone numbers for verification. Obviously, it will be harder to add friends since it's not automatic, but you're not going to find any app that uses your contacts' phone numbers directly and your number without verification as that's a real issue.
Even if you could get Whatsapp to work on your tablet, it doesn't support two devices at once (your other device will be desactivated), so I'd really suggest you don't root your tablet and get a backup app just to try that that. Of course, it has its advantages, but it won't be useful in this case.
here what i done on mine
whatsapp application need a phone number verification which ll provide a code over text or phone call so i suggest to use a different phone number since you choose your tablet or cell-phone if you use the same number, since you cant run on both
try this download the apk over computer and transfer to u memory card or use a file host as dropbox to simply download and install
visit to download http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
and now use your home-phone or another number different as the one you use on cell-phone or try google voice if you are in the US
now just input telephone number and request a code over phonecall which is faster and get the code when the app request it just input the code and you are set!
hope helps or get the idea to accomplished what you need
Thanks for watching

I'm going with Skype. If does what I need. But both Skype and GTalk have a problem : neither support android 4.2 multi user. This is a problem. What I am trying to do is consolidate my Android experience. Both me and the wife have Android phones. Now we purchased the tablet for browsing at home and such. When out and about we use the phones to keep in touch with other connected family members and friends using Skype. When at home, we want to be able to reply from whatever device we are interacting with. If I'm in my session on the Nexus, I want to reply from there. Don't want to have to get up and go get the phone. Same for the wife. As main user, I can do this. But I can't get it to work for the wife's profile. At least not without logging out of Skype before switching profiles.
