Hey guys,
Here's my newest Windows program. You type in a search phrase, and through ADB, it will search your phone in the specified directories and then you can pull to the specified save locations on your computer.
Find and Pull™ v1.0.2
PREREQUISITES:
Android USB Drivers installed
ADB working and in PATH
USB Debugging Enabled
.NET 4.0
HOW TO USE:
1. Connect phone to computer via USB
2. Run FindandPull.exe
3. Go to File > Preferences
4. Choose a save location (use the file browser button)
5. Choose a search location (some common ones are in the drop down, but you can also type your own)
6. Press OK
7. Now type in whatever you want to search for:
-For example, if you want to find any files with the word 'speed' in it, type 'speed' without the quotes
-Also, you can use the wildcards * and ? in your search.
*Don't put them on the outer edges of your search text since I already did that.
8. Press the Find button
9. If it found any files, it will now list them in the checked list box.
10. Check whichever files you want to pull.
11. Press the Pull button.
12. Voila!
Changelog is in app.
Source: Find and Pull GitHub
If anyone has any suggestions, features, or ideas they would like implemented, as well as any bugs found, PLEASE let me know.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Will this work on my phone?
No, it won't. This is only for Windows.
2. The program doesn't want to open on my computer. What's wrong?
Most likely, you will need to update to the newest version of .NET framework. I'm using 4.0, so that could be the issue.
3. The device checker keeps saying that it can't find my device. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Alright, I ended up having to help out with a lot of these problems with my Clock Switcher program. So the simplest solution I could think of was for the program to use ADB however you have it set up. Therefore, you must have ADB already working on your computer, as well as being in PATH.
4. So how do copy protected apps onto my computer?!?!?
Sorry, but out of respect for other developers I didn't list that location in the drop down. If you figure it out anyway, congrats lol.

Yeah need 4.0+
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en
EDIT: Works great. Only suggestion so far is to incorporate the target folders in the main search page if possible, rather than having to go to preferences. Not a big deal, though. I can definitely live with it as it stands. Thank you for this!
Re: Find and Pull v1.0
I posted link to 4.0 in OP thanks for that.. and thanks for the suggestion .. I'll mess around with it tomorrow
OK updated OP with new version.
Added a "search within results" feature and some bug fixes
Still need to implement some more features in my free time
Any suggestions are highly welcomed
Small update..
Added 2 new search options
1. you can now specify last modified dates
2. you can also specify either files or directories
*Bump* Thank you...working great!

Hello, i've got problem with anti-theft Cerberus app. The SMS command feature works only when i uninstall GO SMS and Handcent. I thought the second app will work when i choose "lower priority" however it still intercepts and shows sms commands. Of course, when i uninstall Handcent it works correct and messages are not shown.
Do you have any idea what can I do? Just I like options of Handcent and (in a little bit more) GO SMS PRO. Stock app is poor.
I use SGS (i9000) with CM10.1
This has been an issue for a long time and both developers refuse to change it.
Wayne Tech S-III
Thanks for your answer, so is there any way to fix it without their support?
I found the solution:
Go SMS - Open Go SMS, hit 'Menu' and click 'Settings', click on
'Receive Settings', then uncheck the 'Disable other message
notifications. Then open the built in SMS app, hit 'Menu' then click
settings, there is a setting called 'Notifications' uncheck that.
Handcent SMS - Open Hancent, Hit 'Menu' and select Settings, Click
Application settings, then Default Messaging Application, Set this to
'Disable'. Then open the built in SMS app, hit 'Menu' then click
settings, there is a setting called 'Notifications' uncheck that.

No and to be honest it doesn't really do much good as one of the first things people do now is wipe the device and reflash the OS removing good any security software.

are you sure you configure avast correctly? i had the avast before cerberus, it said there are problems with go sms, but locating from PC was working great.
@zelendel: probably many of them will do that, however there is possibility that you will lose your phone and founder will not be honest... i think he wouldn't change the ROM Moreover cerberus survived any wipes on my SGS, only way to delete him is to do that by cable

I see it alot. Stolen phones sold on Craigs list or Ebay running different roms. The ways around the so called android security software are too well known for it to be of any use. The only thing that even remotely works is an IMEI block but that doesnt get the device back.
problem solved

hi everybody!
sorry for the non-descriptive title, but i have some questions i'd like to ask here. i just got my moto g 2 days ago, i switched from a samsung galaxy s+ (with cm10.2) so this is quite the change for me, hardware and software wise.
[ANSWERED] 1. first i missed the possibility to swipe my keyboard to type, i found many different apps for that, but my question would be what is the keyboard included in cyanogenmod? because since this can 'see' everything i type i want an app for that i can trust...
[ANSWERED] 2. i really liked the cLock app for time and weather in cm, but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^ so here my queston would be aswel whats the cyanogenmod cLock app and where can i find it?!
[ANSWERED] 3. next thing would be how can i get something like pdroid on this device (i had it on the sgs+)? i would need root i assume, i saw lots of different methods for that aswel. one with like contacting motorola to get the rom unlocked or something like that. so whats the easiest way to get a privacy control on the moto g? i remember something like the new android has some inbuilt setting for that?!?
[ANSWERED] 4. something that is irritating me quite a lot are the software keys, because samsung has the back key on the right side and the moto has it on the left side. also i dont understand why there would be a key for recent apps instead of a menu key. same here: i saw lots of different methods to change that, some even with adding or getting rid of lines of the code. ok i managed to install cm on my sgs, but thats a little out of my capabilities ^^ so again what would be the easiest way to change the buttons around?
[ANSWERED] 5. another thing would be, how do i turn off the vibration when using the keyboard? i tried the setting under 'sound' -> 'vibrate on touch' (or something along those lines) but that didnt turn off all of the vibration, for example its still vibrating when i use the keyboard but not anymore when i open apps or menus.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...
btw i am using the nova launcher in case that makes any difference for any of the questions above!?
also i include this screenshot with all the version numbers in it because it might be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JftqugO1xsbnh1dTBrQzZVWXc/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a bunch in advance and for reading and i hope someone is willing and able to help me out here!:fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
all the questions above have been answered! only one more question is open atm, [ here ] thanks to everyone who contributed so far!

You can install the stock google keyboard from the play store for using swype, And there is cyangenmod version available for the G, you should go to the Moto G Original Android Development section of the forum for that. The vibration option should be in your sound / keyboard settings so you just need to look better i gues.

thanks again, sadly the play store says: 'This app is incompatible with all of your devices.' and it seems this is because of some kind of regional restrictions for this app and/or my country. i cant imagine what and why that would be but i cant download it from there, is there any other way to get this? like an .apk or something?

I suggest to install Xposed framework (Root needed), and then you can have this features with Gravity Box and Xprivacy (these are modules for Xposed).
In order to root, you have to unlock the bootloader (follow the instruction on Motorola website), then install a Custom recovery (I suggest Philz one) and supersu from Play store

hi and thank you for your contribution! i have unlocked and rooted my device successfully and installed the xposed framework. i havent quite got the hang of how xprivacy works as of now since its a little different from pdroid (and somewhat confusing imo). but thats just a matter of time i guess. i'll start reading here: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy#xprivacy or is there a better quick start guide?
i assume i can uninstall the 'xprivacy installer' (the one from google play) after i installed 'xprivacy'? and that gravity box is for the softkeys and its this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049 ? i'll look into that tomorrow, since its getting late here and i dont wanna mess up now ^^

Mornin', you're very welcome!
Xprivacy it's kind of complicated, but that reading will help you. I admit I don't use it, but I know it gives you full control on privacy and this is what you were looking for As you said, it's just a matter of time!
Btw you can install modules directly from Xposed Installer application, so you can bypass the Play Store.
Yes that's gravity box: it's very good and popular, you can surely reverse/set all the software keys, but also do a lot of modding!
It's more intuitive than Xprivacy, just go ahead options and try them, it's safe!
Good luck and forgive my english!

i am no native english tongue myself, so i dont notice anything wrong with your english. no need to excuse, i make mistakes myself.
i was under the impression that you could do 'stupid' stuff with xprivacy, like i was able to deny my camera app access to the camera with pdroid. that was a good way to test if it was properly working. so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work, but then again it especially said its no going to break apps. i dig into all of this further later on.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to? talking about xprivacy here...
edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.
but then again it especially said its no going to break apps.

You can check for example all outgoing connections to the internet from your device. I have not tested this tool, or similar like that, but i will now because i just had the idea Else you can also prevent Facebook app to connect. I use Auto Hide Softkey App. I can for example prevent that it uses the overlay function, so it can not modify the UI and hide the Navbar.
Xprivacy is a very powerful tool. If you want it more simple, you can activate the in Android but Disabled inbuilt AppOPS App (search for AppOPS). But it is also less powerful.
I bought xprivacy. If you buy it, you can download the restrictions automatically and upload yours for others. You are also able to export end import the settings if licensed. Also nice that you can buy it via Paypal because i do not have a Credit Card (and i don't want).
but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^

You should definitely work on your Googling skills
Try "best android clock apps" "List of android clocks" and so on, there are dozens.

well you explained it yourself pretty much, the app was designed to not break apps in the way they work but restrict them from your privat data. so when i clicked firefox'es internet permission and it had the square, i disabled some but not all of it. thats all i was saying

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:

or

You're welcome!
Check navigation bar settings in gravity box, you can change the size of the soft keys and gain space.
Go for that apps if you think you need more usable screensize (hard to believe)

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen
or is there a setting for that in gravity box i missed?

Its called extended desktop in gravity box and you may see it called immersive mode in other roms it is all the same thing.

i wondered what that would be and imagined something for screen transmission (chromecast) or something like that, thanks for clearing that up! best to have as little extra programs as needed on my device... cool gravity box got that covered aswel, liking this more and more!
Greetings to all.
So we have a well-developed topic by model Oukitel WP6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/oukitel-wp6-discussion-t4112963
but we don't have a topic by model Oukitel WP7 at all, although this phone has similar problems in the firmware - unloading applications from memory by firmware, non-delivery of notifications, etc. I would like to know if it is possible to install an alternative firmware on this model, and how to do it.
Thanks.

If you can unlock the bootloader then I think it's as easy as flashing the GSI using the same method in wp6

It's not the problem with the phone, it's the users . This phone has some hardcore security settings turned on by default. If You configure it properly it will work like any other. For example let's say You want Messenger app always ready to receive new messages. First enable notifications in phone settings then go to the Phone manager app(big shield icon) and to its setting, add messenger to the white list so it wont be killed on lockscreen, also enable autorun for it so it can work all the time.
I'm totally fine with the way it works, it's easier for me to grant the notifications to few important apps than to disable it on all the garbage like shopping apps or games.
Hi. I am interested in this phone. It works fine? Any problem?

What i did
This is a very interesting phone model.
Currently done and fixed:
- Received root on both official firmware, on v16 and v29 (Magisk, pathing boot.img)
- fixed destruction of applications from memory, thanks to instructions from the topic about Oukitel WP6
That, so far, I could not win:
- Forced disabling of notifications from applications when updating from Google Play and another, I do not know how to deal with this.
The latter is very annoying, since you have to follow each update and re-enable notifications.
Perhaps, under the root of the rights, just edit some file to fix this?

Thank you, I read it, I got root rights according to the instructions, I want to stay on my native firmware, fixing the developer's bugs in order to safely use the phone, but I could not defeat the disconnection of notifications from applications when updating

Yes, I did everything, and even more, I was able to overcome the disconnection of wi-fi and bluetooth with a long inactivity.
You're right about the user.
But can you tell me.
How to prevent notifications from turning off when apps are updated in Google Play?

do you mean some apps force close and you won't get notifications when your phone goes off? if that's the case then just TURN OFF the "intelligent power saving" in the settings or from SYSTEM MANAGER APP. if it still kill your background apps then you might need to uninstall the duraspeed app on your phone if it's installed.

Thanks for your reply.
I went through the indicated stages and I got rid of the problem described by you.
I did not delete the DuraSpeed, but turned it off through the ADB and the MacroDroid.
But I mean a completely different problem.
Let's say I install the Viber or Slack application, after installing from Google Play, notifications are turned off by default. OK. I enable them in my notification settings. After a while, these applications are updated, and notifications are disabled in the settings again.
This is the problem I mean.
Hello every body,
There is a built in app named DURASPEED. Open the app third party file explorer and then you can leave the app stay on backround Like message,whatsapp, email and so on that they dont got killed.
Then phone is just awesome
Okey, i see you are allready found that app. Next time need to read more

Volunteers are needed to check the file.
I'm ported from the BV9900 TWRP 3.3.1 in unofficialtwrp.com
It works for me, I think the community will also be useful.

Its not workin
No adb, no usb connect. Can not transfer file via computer to Phone.
Can not mount data & system. If you want them mounted you need to format all but then you can't get any file there.
Maybe if i but sdcard in and try that way. But no time to test today.
Can you used it normal, like it supposed?
I try to flash gsi, but that also doesn't work. Without twrp of course.

Do not worry.
I found what the problem is.
I apologize for the inaccuracy of the wording and wrote that it works, although in fact it just started, loaded, but the functionality is cut down.
The problem is in the mapping and I need several diligent hours to fix it and update it for us.
Thank you for your feedback, this is very important to me.

I'm wondering, since I started, I achieved some success, in the new version the zip installation works from a connected external flash drive, and I download several dozen de-encrypting modifications, maybe over the weekend it will turn out to sort out and bring the idea to the end, cleaned up the extra ways and made the ADB work in this mode, maybe over the weekend it remains to decipher and then it will be ready for the test.

I'm a Typeapp user for my mailaccounts. Since the latest upgrade to Android 13 it does not always show a notification. Randomly.
Typeapp suggested to alter the Battery Manager to allow the app running in the background. Did not help.
Then I tried a few other email apps for a week or so, but the same issue occured: not always a notification in time.
My idea is that this issue does not belong to the mailapp, but possibly Android 13 does something in the background that prevents a notification. Sometimes (and that's the irritating part!).
Somebody recognizes this?

This sounds somewhat familiar to me already since Android 11 where several people had the same issue regarding SMS/text messages arriving in time in Android (according to the logcat) but the notification message was often triggered few minutes or much later.
For a workaround for the SMS/text messages notification delay problem, effective at least for the default SMS/text/messaging app com.android.messaging, see the following GitLab issue (for klte) which even lead to one of the LineageOS developers reporting the bug to Google with the corresponding issue still being unresolved/open.
[Update 23.10.2022 for the sake of completeness]:
Other users reported the same problem for different phones No SMS while screen off and Notifications for incoming messages are delayed after device has been sleeping for a long time
It seems to me that this is a typical SMS-issue. I think my issue is a more general thing and I will try a hard reset and start with a clean Android 13 setup.
I'll give feedback afterwards... (when time and availability let me fix it)
Mauvan said:

The reception of the SMS was/is not the problem in this case since it appears immediately after sending in the log but the notification triggers with a large delay/late.
Therefore I can imagine, that this is a general notification bug which also appears in other apps.
Simply trying out the command takes a few seconds and observing the behavior also only takes very little time.
Personally I would invest this little time before doing a hard rest ... but perhaps I am the only one who enjoys doing other things in his spare time much more rather than hard resetting his phone and going through the following tedious installation and setup of all apps from scratch.
I know, it is no fun doing those things like install and setup your phone
But what if I really cannot find the com.android.messaging app amongst all system apps? Or does it have a different name since A13??

I wrote my sentence in a "teasing" way but with the winking smiley because you seemed very determined reinstalling everything from scratch without trying the suggested workaround.
And since different people have different interests, there was still a small chance that you prefer having a clean Android installation anyway from time to time and simply want to make sure that the problem arose from a "dirty" upgrade from A12 to A13.
Anyway, I am now confused by your following statement:

The way I understood you is, that your issue did (at the moment) only affect email apps.
1.
Did you also observe the notification delay with the stock SMS/text messaging app?
2.
If not, what is the reason why you now want to identify the stock SMS/text messaging app?
Mauvan said:

Click to expand...

This I don't know.
3.
If 1. == yes, is the app name displayed in the app info options menu (the place of the other settings like permissions, storage & cache, etc.) when you scroll all the way to the bottom (as it is the case in A12)?
4.
If 3. == no, then you can possibly identify it using the output of
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
or paste the result here so we can have a guess.

Well, if it only occurs in the mail apps, then let's stick with those.
So, instead of whitelisting the SMS/text app, I suggest to try the battery optimization whitelisting procedure with those.
As a first step, please execute the current content of the battery optimization whitelist by calling
Code:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist
and paste the result (list of apps) in this thread.
This should help us in better understanding whether the whitelisting step via ADB (which was either already done by you via the Android UI, or if not, which we'll do once we have the result from the above call) actually changes the whitelist content.

By "which was either already done by you via the Android UI" I am referring to the thing you have done as stated in your statement quoted above. Since the information how you did it is quite vague, I need the requested info.

Since we are now ignoring the SMS/text ab, you can forget about the adb shell pm list packages command but need to execute the other (ADB) command mentioned above.
There are many tutorials on how to use ADB - I am only (randomly) posting the official instructions:
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb
So you mainly need 2 things:
PC: ADB executable - downloadable from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Android: Settings > System > Developer Options > USB debugging
There's not even an option in Settings > System for USB debugging and Developer Options in my Pixel.
In another life I was a programmer but this goes beyond my capabilities (and patience to figure it out).
I give up.
Thanks for all your efforts, but it's all abacadabra for me. A hard reset is almost faster

If you didn't enable it yet, then this is no rocket science. Simply read the manual which I already posted above where this specific step is answered in this section.

I am sure you would manage that. But since my suggestions only have a small chance but no guarantee that they solve the problem, I understand that you are not eager trying it out.
Btw: Also clicking the thanks/like button is always a welcome gesture to people in the forum
Once you did a clean install and made some observations regarding your problem, please drop us a line here about the result as it may help others too with their decision!
