Usenet Setup On Android - Android Apps and Games

I have tried quite a bit of NZB Usenet applications for Android and have not been able to get them to work. I have followed a few tutorials and yet no luck.
Currently using NZBMonster (like the look)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/nzbmonster/org.nzbmonster
Would like to get some expert help with setting this up, I must be doing something wrong somewhere along the way. HELP!
Using the latest Sabnzbd on Windows 7. Not sure if it matters in setting these apps up but running Android 2.3.4 with the FI Gingerbread V3 ROM.

I think I have tried every NZB app on Android now. Still no luck.

BUMP? Anyone....help please!

Try nzbair. It has an easy setup via an online template and has always worked for me

Well that tutorial for that app would be nice if they second step didn't tell me to input a static IP. I can't get one of those, nor do I want one. I have done many other app setups that needs to use my network and access my system and didn't need to do it.
Any other ideas. I do thank you for the idea though

Remote Control Your Phone from Your PC

Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?

You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?
http://airwatchstore.com/
I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

Modified Flash still no Hulu.

Posted this in General but did not hear anything. I dont mean to spam. Just looking for a solution.
For those who have an android phone running froyo your probably aware that hulu had blocked their site from android users. Generally in the past there were methods around this which involved installing a modified flash.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
Okay so I went ahead and removed the previously installed flash apk (use root explorer to do it) then I use adb to install it. The next step involved using the debug mode in the browser to make our seem like it is a desktop. Well when I type about:debug in my browser and go into the settings there is no option to change it to desktop. I only see these options:
So my question is, how the heck do we get hulu working?! When I used skyfire to and switched it to the desktop view, it said I didn't have flash installed. Any ideas?
update:
okay so i found a thread on XDA that seemed to get me a lil further but not where i wanna be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...794512&page=12
this thread suggest that you just install the latest flash.apk and just replace the lib file they give u with the one that comes preinstalled. doing that gets me an error on hulu:
"Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Before, I just got an error saying that they are gonna bring hulu plus to android but thats about it. yes i changed it to desktop and even tried it on skyfire. nothing.
anyone?

Ive gone through the same steps ( own a nexus one and had hulu running fine) ran into the same issues on the tab. Hulu is on it, they dont want mobile browsing on the site without paying. Channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net work on the tab just fine.

Adfree not working trried everything

Hi
Ive searched this forum from top to bottom and just cant find a right solution.
AdFree is not working fr me what so ever
Ive got ads in Angry Birds Scrabble and quite a lot of other apps
Ive tried Absolute system root
Ive tried some host files (with user R/W Group R Others R) but that did not help either, unless im doing something wrong
Can anyone help ??
Simple guide or even a link to it would do.
Thanks
PS> Sorry if its in the wrong section
Anyone?

Hi,
I think that the best way to stop the adds is manually disable the network before starting the game.
Usually the add-free apps don't work very hell, you try can search for another in the market.
Yeah but disabling data connection is not the point here.
There are games that require internet connection to play and yet have adds..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
From what I've been able to piece together from other threads (here or CM forums, I don't remember which) the source files that Adfree relies on have become much less useful lately. Some users seemed to have some luck manually putting-in an older version of the source files.

Here is a complete list of bloatware that is 100% safe to remove.

I have tested and confirmed that these are safe to remove. I also did multiple factory reses with zero issues. Now go out and remove all that bloatware.
I am not responsible for anything that you choose to do to your device. This is just a guide nothing more. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am just dumb founded by the amount of bull sh*t in the stock Rom. The amount of bloatware in this should be against the law. I will tell you this much. Once i removed this junk my phone is much snappier. Have fun with it guys. Always do a nandroid before removing anything.

I'd like to add SWM-C to the list. I have no idea what it does, but I didn't need it running, so I trashed it.
You can also add "Tmobile Name ID" to the list if you don't use or want T-Mobile's for-pay Caller ID service.
ECID.apk is T-Mobile name id.

Root explorer, ES File Mgr, or System app remover. All apps in the Android market.

While we're at it, you can look Here to see some others that have been found to be safe to remove.
I personally keep some of the ones on both of these threads, but that doesn't mean they can't be removed.
Also, i've removed the genius app and had no troubles with the system running fine.
Can someone teach me how to remove latitude and car home, while keeping maps?
Car home is dockpanel.apk.

This list I made does not affect the full functionality of the stock ROM. You can remove other stuff BUT you WILL get FCs to vital system files. Stick with this list. I'm much more conservative then that guy you linked me to. But I will add dockpanel.apk. thanx

Much appreciated. Wasn't sure what dockpanel was, and hadn't gotten to axing that one yet in testing.
I guess that means i'm stuck with latitude, since I need Google Maps, but since carhome isn't "supposed" to work with our device according to Google, once it's gone it's toast.
I mentioned earlier that I un-installed the Genius app, tossing carhome gets rid of the rest of that silly talk stuff I can't stand. It's a danged touch device for a reason...lol.
I realize different things work for different people - my buddy loves the talking to it to make it do stuff, just not my thing.
But I need Maps because the feature of emailing places to people has become invaluable in a business sense for me.
We all use Maps, and as people need to be places we just email locations back and forth - someone simply clicks the link in their email and it plots it on the map, and then Navigation automatically computes driving directions.
Auto-sync with email notifies of the new location ready to be input, and you can share the location right from starting in the Maps app itself. When a person gets a new location to go to, they send that and their current to payroll - and their mileage is logged and compensation is computed before they even get to where they are going.
Score a point for Google making my work life much, much easier, and streamlining taxes and payroll.
Edit - i'm the guy I linked you to - another lol.
That thread was a group effort we undertook here to find out what all you could get rid of and still have the system run right. On my working install I use in my day-to-day on the phone, I have a lot of the apps I mentioned were safe to remove in the thread I linked to.
When we first got root on these phones, the day revolutionary was released, it was an all-out delete-fest to figure out what could be safely removed. Some people went ahead and froze things, others went ahead and just uninstalled them. By comparing notes and tinkering with it, we figured out most of what we could toss safely.
Like I said, I use some of the things mentioned to be deleted - but the focus of the thread was what could be removed, and not what personal preferences were.
When i'm doing all my GPS / A-GPS testing, for instance, I restore to my original CWM backup I made right after root and do all my testing with all the stock apps installed. I don't want to contaminate any of the tests by running a custom tweaked install, the only thing i'm trying to tweak in that instance is the GPS stuff i'm working with at the moment. I'm also trying to replicate the environment someone will be in out-of-the-box (or as close as can be since the phone is rooted with CWM installed).
Don't think that I run my phone on the daily with nothing on it - that would be silly and kinda pointless to have a smart phone that didn't do anything. But in the interest of discovery, you kinda have to go beyond what you're happy with to figure it all out. (or at least that makes the most sense to me)
Having tested software for a living for a while...just the habits I got into. Another reason why I go so overboard on backups. You should see all the CWM backups I have stored of this phone in different states.
Just wanted to clear up any confusion, in case you thought I was crazy about trying to rip everything out of the phone indiscriminately - there is a method to the madness (...or is it a madness to the method? Can never tell... )
The things listed that you can delete in the other thread are a pick-and-choose option, you don't have to remove them all.
Using ES File Explorer...
Can't seem to delete anything .... says that it can't be deleted.
Do we need to be S-Off first?
If so, how do we S-Off for Mac users?
There isn't too much clear detailed info for Mac users...frustrating..

There is no Mac version of the Revolutionary S-OFF method. You either have to (A) install Linux, configure it properly and run the Linux version of Revolutionary or (B) install Windows, configure it properly and run the Windows version of Revolutionary.
Your only other option is to wait patiently for HTC to provide a bootloader unlocker for this device which may or may not ever happen. They've released it for the T-Mobile Sensation, but that's a pure HTC phone and not a T-Mobile-branded myTouch model.
I've used Revolutionary on Windows and Linux and both methods are fairly straightforward. You just need to know what you're doing -- if you don't, you probably shouldn't be trying to attain S-OFF in the first place. Just use the permanent temp-root.
maps keeps automatically running in the background of my gf's phone. Is there anyway to stop it from autostarting? I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it as noted in another post elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks.
dockpanel.apk is htcs version of Google's car home. And yes Google's car home works fine on our device. I'm running it with no major issues. I updated op accordingly.

Yes go into settings......applications......running services........find maps.apk.......press it.........then press force stop.......then press clear data. You will need to do this each time with Google maps. It is a battery leech if it runs in the background. Hope this helps

In another thread here, someone also found out that by un-installing the stock Google maps version, then re-downloading it from the market, you solve the problem of it running in the background all the time. Check the battery threads to find the specific posting, I forget which one it was in.
Glad to see we are coming up with all the little details here, everyone has a different approach to solving the problems we come across on this phone. Everyone sharing what they know here is starting to paint a pretty good picture of the whole situation - good job everyone!
(Yep, I know car home works on the device, but once you remove it you won't be able to re-download it from the market because Google has it listed as not working for this phone, so it will block the download - thanks for confirming from another phone that it is indeed working though.)
Exactly.
I'm still trying to break this phone wide open.

FTP Questions from a complete newbie

I am trying to use an app called eshare which allows one to send a single file or even the complete contents of the sd card to another device. It is done via an FTP server. I've tried to figure this out myself for the past couple of hours but all I've gotten for my time is a headache.
I was hoping someone here might be able to help with this. I really have no clue what FTP is other than what I've read. When I got the app it seemed like it would be simple. Maybe it is but I don't even know what to do to start.
The instructions on the app are obviously intended for someone familiar with how FTP works, and I am not a member of that group.
The instructions begin as follows:
How to access.
Open the ftp:// link with wifi on PC or other device using your browser, finder (Mac os), file explorer (win) or other FTP client.
What I tried was typing the ftp address into the browser and nothing happened. From what I've read online it appears that I need to download some sort of FTP client but I really just don't understand.
I'm sorry for what I'm sure is a very elementary question to all of you, but I'm completely lost and really do have a splitting headache after trying to figure this out. I don't know if this matters, but I'm using a Nexus 7, a Galaxy SII, and an Asus Transformer tf201 (along with my laptop)
Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Perhaps I do. Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the headache I mentioned in my original post is the result of a brain disease that I have which makes reading (especially reading things that I don't understand) very difficult. Prior to having this disease I could have easily done this. It's also likely that I used how to do this. Unfortunately the UT Southwestern Clinical Trial I underwent created havoc with my memory and cognitive abilities. I just thought someone here might be able to help me. Thank you all the same for your help.
Check out FolderSync Lite. It's the best sync app I've found and use for couple of months now. It supports a load of transfer protocol including FTP SFTP SMB and much more (I just don't remember the rest)
