[Q] CIFS mounts randomly missing files? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi All,
I am currently using Leedroid 2.3d for the HTC Desire.
I started to use CIFS manager to mount my Windows 7 share folders on the phone, I noticed a bug when mounting shares using CIFS manager, if the share folder contains 200+ files, the mounted share will not display all the files in the share. This can be seen using any Android file manager and looking into the mounted folder on the phone e.g. ES File Explorer, Astro, etc...
I've noticed this for a while now, not sure if this is a Leedroid ROM issue or an issue with CIFS.
I'm just putting this out there to see if anybody else has noticed this with other roms using CIFS shares.
For testing purposes I wrote a little VB script that will generate 200 files in sequence into the folder the script is executed from, if anyone wants to see if they can reproduce this issue.
Script is attached.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Ringtones in /system as HEX codes... can't use Ogg

Hi all, I am one of the people having the "random changed" ringtones and alerts.
So I converted them to ogg format and put them into /system/media/sounds ecc. ecc.
Now, when I browse for Ringtones, I do not see their real name (e.g. myRinger), I see something like: e32f45ab352d905 etc. etc.
Anybody with the same problem?
Ideas?
TIA
Can't say that i have seen that problem....
Perhaps it's the software conferteer. I used an online one. What did u use to convert from mp3 to ogg?
Using another software worked like a charm.

What did you use to move the file to the /system/media/audio/whatever directory? I've tried ghost commander and adb but can't figure either one of them out. Did manage to push it with adb to SD card but I need to mount it somehow I guess? And ghost commander isn't all that user friendly.
Maybe a term and mount the /system directory?
I used "super manager". Note that you must have root enabled.

It's a shame es file explorer doesn't do root. I know it does sort of but not on mine.

Okay Super Manager worked great. One question though... When it mounts /system as rw does it mount it back to ro after a time or do you have to manually do that? The icons don't have names and it's a little confusing.
Also lol at me doing this the night before (maybe) the next release that's supposed to fix this issue comes out.
It mount it back to R/O as far as I know.
In fact the second time u access the folder you're asked again for mounting in R/W
Waiting for OTA with you

[Q] What i CIFS kernel?

I already did a search on it and I understand it is to transfer files between computer and android but I already could do that on TNT Lite 4.2.4 with es file explorer. I can copy and paste without that kernel. ATM Im looking at streaming files but the tablet wont play or have to copy first to play. So what other functions CIFS kernel has?
mount share as cifs means you can use the files just the same way as you use your file on the tab.way better than es file explorer,you can play shared video just like it is on the tab

[Q] Boot/Down Animation Help?

So, i have a boot and down animation on my sd card that im wanting to use in my CM7 nightly rom. after searching for a while, using the file manager that comes in cm7, i found where my default animations where, but for some reason i was unable to copy and paste the files. anyone know why this restriction is present?
What were you using to copy and paste the files? Usually you would need to have read/write permissions to change these files. If you are not already, try using a program like Root Explorer.
try mount r/w that lets you paste, rename, move, delete, etc etc

[Q] CIFS-Manager succesful mount but empty directory

I've got one cifs mount that works and one that shows an empty folder.
both mounts are from (seperate) ubuntu servers with near identical smb.conf files. there are no sym links in the shares. does the file system on the mount point have any effect? one is ext3 and the other is ext4
the strange thing is that when in the android terminal I can see the contents of the 'empty' mount but in the file managers i've tried (astro, adoa, ES)I just get an empty directory and instead of seeing dr- for the permissions it just show d--.
this is on an asus transformer running optimus 1.5
any help would be greatly appreciated.
never mind, file manager HD does the job, doesn't bother mounting, just points directly to the smb share.
highly recomend using file manager HD if anyone else is having my problems, it's fantastic.
only annoying thing was that I couldn't add shortcuts to smb:// root addresses, so I created symlinks within the shares.
I know, you dont need a solution anymore, but someone else might need it. I had the same problem and it was a rights issue. I changed the owner:group to root:root and and changed access rights to 0555. I dont know it is now working, because no other clients need these changes.

Can you elaborate on this? When you say you changed the owner:group to root:root, is that for the directory on the server that is being shared? What about files and child directories? Also, by 0555, do you mean r-xr-x-r-x permissions on the samba share folder on the server? Which samba user did you use to access the share?
I have multiple mounts, and while cifs manager says they all mount successfully, some of them show up as empty directories, and I can not figure out why as I have made sure that the permissions on the server are the same.

[Q] Deleting Sample Music/Pictures

Hey guys,
Has anyone been able to successfully remove the sample music tracks and pictures from the internal storage on the transformer?
I have tried Total Commander & ASUS File Manager as well as Windows MTP deletion, but the files just won't go away.
I have tried using ADB (it works on PressReader, the redundant Zinio app), but I can't seem to reference 'spaces' on the CLI.
So I 'cd' to system/sdcard/Music/ and attempt
rm 01 Buzz Dees_Mitkomm.mp3
which gives me "Can't find 01, no such..etc" which indicates it can't understand the spaces. Any tips for spaces?
I am rooted and busyboxed on Revolver 2.0 ROM, Android 3.2 and type-B60 transformer.
Cheers.
I don't see any sample files, maybe because I'm on custom rom. What does the asus file manger says when you want to delete them ? Maybe the files have read only access, but I doubt it. Try to delete them via the music player and via gallery.
Hope it helps.
Hmm. I guess they're not really intruding into my UX, so it's a minor problem atm.
You probably don't see any because when you flashed your ROM, it wiped the sdcard folder too. I used a modified recovery to ensure sdcard isn't touched so I don't have to put files back on every time / make unnecessarily large nandroid backups.
