I need 2 apps guys, pls help :)

I'm looking for 2 applications:
1. a Full Screen caller. When someone calls me, to have a big picture of him on the display, not a small square. I found some programs, but they all have billions of functions I don't need besides this. Is any of you using somethin like this?
2. I don't know if this is at all possible, but i wonder if I can be able to join my home's wifi network and to open media from my computers (as I can do from my Xbox 360 for example)? Because everything I'm using my wifi network for the moment is browsing the internet... :/

You can do it using slide to unlock (S2u2)

1. PhonEx - it has a lot more functions than that. You might wanna test it out, it's up to you
2. Use Resco Explorer, I regularly stream movies from my PC to Coreplayer. It's fantastic!

Most likely because the KF doesn't support AdHoc WiFi connections.
Like Nandorian said, use something like DropBox.
There are many other alternatives.

Yes it does, I'm using Ad-hoc wi/fi switcher and can switch back and forth between the two. I use it to connect to my HTC Hero.

Not by default it doesn't.... The OP didn't provide much info about what he has done, but a good guess is that he isn't using that and by default the KF doesn't support AdHoc WiFi connections.

Doesn't matter who's fault it is, It supports it or I wouldn't be able to switch from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc mode. Does require root to do this..

There is an app that will make the KF use ad-hoc wifi... I don't know what it is, though...
I just hacked the radio in my wife's X2 to enable the hotspot while bypassing Verizon... now it throws out infrastructure wifi.

Can I ask you to share brief tutorial for noobs how to do that. I wish to send files from Galaxy S2 to Kindle. Without internet access. Idea is to use my S2 as ext storage

i have a KF and a galaxy s. i use dropbox too but it's not feasible for large files. i use swiftp for all my devices. really simple and easy. my galaxy is fully modded with a ROM, but i didn't want to mess with the KF too much so it's not rooted just sideloaded a few apps.

AirDroid is great for interfacing Mobile>PC>Mobile, which I tend to like for backup/checksum options. It's not a direct ICU connection, though; which sounds like what you're looking for.

It's quite close to my needs. But, as far as I undestand Airdroid work with PC, and I am looking to find a way to connect KF with phone via Wi-Fi, but don't using Internet (long flights, for example)
Anyway, thank you! Button pressed

Backatcha!

Thank you u all

Dropbox is a good choice, but only for small size file. Because it takes a long time for large size file!

you can use app "file expert" to share between two android devices by wifi. special, if your device have wifi hotspot, you can share without data internet.
i tested by LG P500 and my KF

I use WellFTP server from the marketplace. (Called WIFI Transport on icon but WellFTP server inside the application)
I run this on the Kindle. Then from the Phone I run ESFileExplorer and ftp to it to do bidirectional transfers. As long as they are on the same network (WIFI) this will work. I have not tried this on ADHOC, since I am running a stock non-root Kindle.

Get a nexus. It supports USB hosting. Lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Use Tonido to share files between your kindle fire and Android phone

I'm stock, so not sure if this will work on rooted?
I found online a program called "Print to Kindle". I have it installed on my computer and when you go into the "print" option on anything, one of the options is print to kindle. I hit that and the next time I turn on my Fire, it downloads into the documents and I have it.
It's pretty cool and easier than emailing it to your kindle email.
But yes, dropbox, sugarsync, or box work good too!

[Q] Will SHAREit & SuperBeam work without WiFi Direct?

I have been searching a lot about different file transferring apps. After googling a lot I kept stumbling into three apps; Xender, SuperBeam & SHAREit. I found that Xender can trasnfer file with just WiFi (without WiFi Direct) by using Virtual Router & Client concept. But I couldn't find anywhere if SuperBeam & SHAREit can do the same... All my SmartPhones have WiFi Direct & so do my friends' SmartPhones. So there is no way of checking if they work without WiFi Direct. So can anyone please confirm or verify, if SuperBeam & SHAREit apps will work wihtout WiFi Direct?
I have a small question, will Xender work with just Bluetooth (without WiFi & WiFi Direct)?

Hi Satya,
Xender uses Wi-Fi direct technology which means that it can transfers data up to 50 times Bluetooth speed, Most of the Smartphone today have Wi-Fi
There is no reason to use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi direct so Xender never carry Bluetooth functions.
Thanks

Firstly your question does not belong to this forum
And answer is superbeam can also use hotspot to send files, for that you need to go into superbeam's setting and then go into sending and select preferred direct mode as hotspot (instead of auto)

I asked about Bluetooth compatibility because I wanted to cover all bases. And thanks for clarifying that. But don't you think it will be cool if Xender was able to send file even when wifi and wifi direct facilities are unavailable?

I've been messing around with file transfer apps myself. On the play store there's "WiFi...." by app dev dubloo (I think) its been a bit since. Anyway, that app allows files from device to a computer with an easy to use interface via web browser. I guess the app acts like a server. If you are interested... ICE COLD APPS have *Servers*/*Synchronize* "Ultimate" by way of the play store. Plus, there is a support or feedback thread for each here on XDA. If you were looking at using superbeam I would recommend picking up the pro key as well. The main app functions well on its own, like, the pro key adds just enough at the right price to say heck with it and pick it up for $3 or so. There are a couple different options to choose from before starting a file transfer, too. And I'm pretty sure+don't quote me+ that each option has a brief description of the way the files move from device to device. Also, there is a windows app to compliment. Last, certainly not least -SimPfile(also on play) I think using WiFi direct. Like, both devices need to be on the same WiFi network. Less options than superbeam, no pro key. And for what you pay for it, its free, BTW... It gets the job done if you are looking for a straight forward app without the bells and whistles. And just to name drop, FX file explorer has a small pay once add-on for media sharing also. Feeling adventurous? Tired of of the run of the mill apps? Give that a shot.... Its been in production and updated since either the end of GB or the beginning of ICS. Each of those apps has been good to me.✌?

[APP][4.1.1.16] TWC TV - VPN/Proxy/ADB/HDMI checks removed. Watch all channels

TWC TV App with VPN, Proxy, ADB, and HDMI checks removed. My main reason for modifying this app is so that you can watch all the channels when you're away from home. All you have to do is setup a VPN server on your home network and use your phone to connect to it. I won't go into detail on setting up a VPN or proxy, but you can either set one up on a dd-wrt router or a computer that is always.
Latest version can almost watch out of home channels on the cell network. See known issues.
Notes:
1. I only tested this app on my phone running 5.1.
2. I don't have an HDMI cable for my phone, so that functionality wasn't tested.
3. I'll continue to update this app as long as I have TWC. I'll post the new version on this thread.
4. My first time decompiling an app, so this is the best I could do for now.
5. Feel free to donate
Known Issues:
1. When watching an out of home channel on the cell network, an error is displayed on the video.
--Work around is to connect via vpn, proxy, or your wifi home network first. View the channel till it starts playing. Then disconnect from the home network and the stream continues to play. This is limiting if you're trying to channel surf, but only way I can get it to work at the moment.

Hit the Thanks button if this works for you!

Thank you testing it out. Donated.
Seems to work fine, only watched briefly on LTE. Phone is galaxy s6, 5.1.1 stock.

My upload speeds aren't fast enough to work over the vpn, so I spent a little time on trying to figure out how to get it to work over the cell network. It has limitations but works. Uploaded if you want to give it a shot. It'll work for my needs for the most part.

What changes did you make for cell network version? Mine worked on LTE on your first release via VPN.

You can disconnect from VPN and use just lte after you decide to watch a channel. My upload speeds are slow over VPN, so video is choppy.

ok will test

Thank you so much! Installing now and will report back.
EDIT: It's leaving the TWC banner on the top of the screen when watching live tv -- can you hide that? The old version of the app didn't have it. It appears to squish the video feed and make everything look out of proportion. Also, I am having frequent buffering issues.

what device are you using? what connection are you using? I was having buffering issues with my vpn and it was because my upload speed wasn't fast enough ( around 300 KB/s up).

Hello,
I am using the FireTV over Ethernet. I am streaming over a LTE hotspot. It normally works fine. When I was having issues, I closed out of the app and went to Netflix,which was able to stream in HD. It could have been TWC itself but I just wanted to post here to see if others had similar issues. I was using the not home version and streaming HGTV which works without a VPN.

Seems ok so far. I'm going to give it a more definitive test at lunch from work. Only device that it isn't working on so far is my Nexus 5 running the Marshmallow preview 3, but the actual app doesn't work either (it just keeps spinning to load the channel on both the actual and modified app).

Really nice, thank you for the work and posting it.
2 things. 1, is it possible to alter the package ID of the cell version so they can be installed simultaneously? 2, can you post some details about what was changed internally to defeat the vpn, hdmi, etc checks to mske this work? The more people capable of doing the alteration, including me, the quicker we'll be able to respond to the inevitable TWC changes.
On request 2, I've been able to decompile the app and have found many, many references that look pertinent. But some pointers on where and what to look for would be helpful.

I was getting buffering issues when I was on the VPN. I'm pretty sure it had to do with the upload speeds of my TWC connection. As for the not home version, this one is for channels that you normally aren't able to view unless you use vpn or your home network. i believe hgtv is able to stream over cell services by default. Try something like NBC or any of the sports channels and you'll get an error video. Try the work around mentioned in the OP to get around that.
As for the FireTV, I don't have one to test it out any changes I make, so its not worth my time to look into it.

First of all, thanks a bunch - works like a charm. Tested both versions. Not sure why there is a need for 2 - the "not home" works on both, home wifi and external internet connection. Second, look here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GDQ0RMG/
best in the world streaming stick, and it's not even close. Especially if you have Prime. Wipes the floor with other in both, hardware and software

The regular version you posted does not work on the FireTV, as it says it does not detect a wireless or Cellular connection (FireTV uses ethernet) - this is the default functionality from TWC. Your "not home" version gets around it and fools the app and allows the app to launch when on ethernet.

I love this app and it was a pain looking everyday for updated versions thanks for taking the time

Same issue - TWC banner
Fire TV
Ethernet
Home network

I'm unable to get VPN'd live TV working anymore, as of around 9/30/15. Seems like something is askew. Anyone else having trouble?
** edit: working again

I think TWC is having some issues on their end because I am having issues on twctv.com too on my laptop without any VPN needed.

No issues for me

current version in play store looks like 4.1.2.32 ... i wonder if it needs to be updated .. I cant seem to get live TV working on the current 4.1.1.16 apk on my device (Nexus 6, Android 6.0)

Does WiFi Direct work reliably now?

This is one area where Android has failed miserably, and just like App Data backup, Google doesn't seem to be interested in fixing this problem.
THE REQUIREMENT​
Ability to transfer files to other devices WITHOUT the use of internet or an intermediary device such as the router in a LAN.
Apps like SHAREit, Zapya, etc. were always a hit or a miss. They NEVER worked reliably. I have tried several apps in this category and it was the same story with all of them.
Has this problem been fixed today?
What is the best way to transfer files between two or more devices (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS) WITHOUT using internet or being connected to the same WiFi network?​
Cross-platform support would be great.

Excerpt from here
You might want to take a look at WiFi Direct and alike. There are several apps on the Playstore making use of this, like e.g.
SuperBeam | WiFi Direct Share (with a fall-back to "hotspot mode" in case of WiFi Direct problems: one device creates a hotspot, the other connects to it)
WiFiShare : Share Files Freely states it brings WiFi-Direct like functionality on lower version of Android, it also enables to send large size files to multiple people at a time -- which I understand as it does not depend on WiFi Direct, but emulates it itself.
Fast File Transfer utilizes WiFi tethering to achieve the same. The description states you could even send files to an iPh**e (censored It plugs into the "Share" menu.
WiFi Shoot! WiFi Direct uses WiFi direct
One of those should be fitting your needs.

If you check, 2 of the links don't exist, and the other 2 seem to have been abandoned by their developers.
Internet is cheap today, and cloud/ streaming services are becoming the norm today. Still, there are situations where we may want to transfer large amounts of data between devices while on the move. A proper solution (like AirDrop from Apple) doesn't exist in Android today, unfortunately.
As I mentioned in OP, I have tried several apps for a long time and they were all a hit or miss. None of them were reliable. The issue was devices not showing up in the hotspot that these apps would create. So the question of transferring files wouldn't arise.
