PC GUI application to browse phone?

Other than using Root Explorer, and ADB'ing with the ls command, is there a way to see the phone's files (not SDCARD) on the PC with GUI capabilities?

android commander
ha! i helped your ass, at last!

droid explorer also works.

I've used droid explorer and it works pretty well. I ran into some quirks at times but should be adequate. Root explorer is the bomb though for file management on the device sans pc.

HAHAHA!!
PERFECT dude! Exactly what Im looking for.
Now I command you to fix my force close Rosie issue dammit!!!! Or NO MORE MOUNTAIN DEW FOR YOU!

how about for a Mac? /dons flame proof suit to survive the onslaught of Mac haters.

well buddy idk where your other thread went, so ill just post it here. js recomends posting a logcat, and it does make sense. we cant fix the issue without knowing what it is.
my recomendations:
if your really getting hit with fc's, so bad that your being distrupted from daily use, id honestly say youd need to live with rosie. for whatever reason rosie is making you so uncomfortable, maybe its time to just learn to accept her into your life
switch roms. ic3 is all aosp, has jit, and fixed the utility fc issue. oc'ing is possible in any rom, just takes some modding. i truthfully dont like oc'ing, and would advice against it(personally....)
talk to the dev. i dont follow that thread, as in, at all, but im sure if you posfed there theyd be more than happy to help.

Checkout an app called WebSharing (Lite version exists as well). It lets you access (upload/download/move) your device's files through a web portal. It works over WiFi and (supposedly) over cellular.

[Q] Android App that Record in Video the Screen?

Hi guys,
There is a app on Android that can record the Screen in a video for youtube and so far.
I'm very interested 'cause I need to rec a game that is too slow on emulator.
Best regards

You are interested in screencasting? There is an app named ShootMe that records screen videos @ 10fps (only). Doesn't work yet on all devices. You should give it a go.

Swyped from my legend using XDA app.

I tried this one but in my Samsung Galaxy 5 doesn't work...
And it asked root too.

All screen-shot apps ask root permissions bcoz of android os restrictions.

Hi, I was using ShootMe today to screencast but the quality is quite poor (well... with 10fps^^).
It's better than nothing of course but is there now something better ?
Thanks in advance.

No other alternative yet I know about
But I just came across a new app Lazy Droid which is about accessing the android device from pc. It includes a feature of "remote view" which gives an mpeg view of whatever is going on phone. It can not export the video yet. You may request the dev to add video export feature.
The app is still in preliminary stage and may not be be working on all devices.

There is a way to edit the apk of Shootme to allow higher frame rate recording. I saw it posted right after the feature was added, but unfortunately didn't bookmark it. I'm sure some searching or looking into the apk could yield the answer.
Unfortunately without root this won't do the OP any good, but it may help someone else.

If you are on KitKat or above, it boils down to connecting your phone in debugging mode to PC via USB and running the adb command -
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/myscreen.mp4
The screen will get recorded to /sdcard/myscreen.mp4.
But this needs you to have android SDK and manually running the command. If you want an easier solution, this page has a package (zip) you can download which has a standalone adb + batch file you can double click to start recording screen video.

[Q] Hulu Hack

Is it possible to get the "Hulu Hack" working on the VT?

Whats the VT?

the phone virgin mobile triumph, why people can't take the time to spell out words i will never know. (yes i know my punctuation sucks.)

Let's get back on subject, but still, calling it the VT is a bit retarded, it's called the Motorola Triumph, so you would call it 'MT', like everyone else....

Theres a build.prop you can flash from the android forums that changes your phone model so you can download hulu and other apps.

Isn't that what b_randon14's mod accomplishes? It's available alone or as one of many package deals... (the one that makes you're phone act like a thunderbolt in the market).
Forgive my grammar, Swype is messing it up purposely.
Edit: this indeed works.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

I apologize for being retarded. Will this allow my MOTWX435KT to watch Hulu on the Dolphin HD browser as I was able to do with my Atrix? Or does it just let me use the Hulu app to watch Hulu+ ?

No, forgive me for being stupid. I assumed the "Hulu Hack" would allow Hulu+ to show up in the market. I messed around with the build.prop quite a bit but for whatever reason Hulu just don't work. Not for the Droid X or the EVO... at least, not my spoofs of them.
In Opera Mobile in Desktop mode (O> Settings> Advanced) I can view the Hulu site okay... I think. No promises though.

Thank you for the suggestion. That is the same method you have to use in the Dolphin browser (settings-desktop). When you try to view a video it says that it does not support this device. There was a "hack" that was cooked into many of the roms for the Moto Atrix that allowed you to view the videos. Here is a link to the page that got the devs started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016183&highlight=hulu Thank you very much for your input.

I'll look into that, but in the meantime I'll still push Opera Mobile: You see, it's totally different than the stock browser core, and it's even part server-based.
So the spoofing it does isn't just a fake user agent (like Browser, Dolphin, Miren etc), it could actually be convincing Hulu your phone is a legit desktop computer. Regardless, I haven't gotten it to work, so your input would be valuable too
Edit: I looked at this and I'm still a little fuzzy on what exactly he did to fix the Hulu problem. Flash player isn't included on the Triumph, so updating it is a no-brainer. SQLite3 is included in most ROMs. I don't understand the following command so I'm afraid to use it
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "UPDATE carriers set preloaded='false';"
This doesn't seem like it's relevant to CDMA/Sprint/VM at all, since it's about APNs.
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, user, server, password, proxy, port, mmsproxy, mmsport, mmsc, mmsc2, authtype, type, current, preloaded) VALUES ('AT&T (FREE TETHER)','310410','310','410','wap.cingular','[email protected] CINGULARGPRS.COM','','CINGULAR1','','80','wireless .cingular.com ','80','http://mmsc.cingular.com ','','-1','','1','false');"
I'll scratch my head for a while.

Thank you for taking the time out to look at this. Sadly, I am just an end user of all the great work the Devs do. I am always more than happy to test things out as I have more balls than brains .

Yeah, sorry... I was testing out the Hulu desktop site and it kinda starts loading with Opera Mobile, which gave me the impression it might work. Then it claims I don't have the right device. And I mean heck, even Youtube is fooled by Opera Mobile.
Unless maybe it works on wifi or something...
Edit: I overlooked this. If you have said balls, perhaps copying the libflashplayer.so file from the location specified.
2) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x or chmod 755 the file.

Free Remote Android Support App

Zikk is unique mobile to mobile remote support app.
So what's so special about Zikk?
It is designed for consumers and not for IT depatments and operators,
therefore it is extremely simple and user friendly.
It provides full privacy protection - no screen sharing, and no access to SMS, email, etc.
It doesn't require constant internet access, and doesn't prevent the recipient from using his
phone for other purposes during the process.
It supports all Android devices (2.2 and above).
In addition to remote support, Zikk contains a local settings menu which uses Zikk's simple
and friendly interface.
When people have a hard time setting up their smartphones, they ask help from their friends
and family - Zikk enables users to help each other.
APK attached. Also available on Google-Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zikk.alpha)
where you will also find a short and helpful demo video. You van also find the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsP9-Lpfwpk).

So both people need Zikk installed, I presume? Does the person you are helping get prompted to download it?

Correct. If the selected contact does not have the app, the user will be asked to allow sending
an automatic SMS with a link to the download page. There is also a share option where you can
send this message (via SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to one or more people.

This really does sound great; however, does it support wifi-only tablets? Is the phone number just to receive verification code? If so, will any mobile phone number work?

The current version is designed for Android phones does not support WiFi-only tablets or
large screen tablets, however in a few weeks I will publish the tablet version, which will
include UI adjustments, tablet related features and a different registration process.

Sounds AMAZING! I'd really like to use this to help my friends and family. I live in India though
No worries, I'll wait

fantastic idea!!! this will surely take off!! kudos to the OP!!

how far this app will go ? I mean can I help someone from anywhere ?

What about phone types? What if my phone is a Nexus and the other device is a HTC?

Great ideas for the next version - thank you very much!

I like the app a lot, but what make it one of the best is if I could move, install, & uninstall system apps, and a root file manager so that we can help rooted users also

uninstalled this app from my Galaxy Note i717 and now the home screen is gone and I cant get back into recovery?

oh cool its like remote assistance for android!

Actually a version for rooted users is an interesting idea. Not sure how common "less tech savvy"
rooted users are though. If you have more ideas for features for rooted users I would love to hear them.

I actually have a friend who is just getting into root use who calls for advice when he needs it. Let's be honest we were all beginners once and maybe could have used a little hand. He moved recently so there is distance involved now. This looks like a great idea.
I would love to have access to the settings menus, root file explorer and perhaps apps he already has installed such as set CPU or apps of that nature.
Beginners in root use are just as confused by root abilities as beginners in android are of it's stock features at times.
It would be really great to be able to start a log cat app and have your friend do something that normally causes a crash for example if they are not advanced enough to run one themselves. A current issue I have on hand. Trying to explain how to run one and sending videos to watch.
Hope this keeps going :thumbup:

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.
ViRb3 said:
Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

Server is down

So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
