Very long strange names in download folder - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Many times when I download files they get saved with very long weird names instead of their correct names. See screen shot attached, first filename should be d821servicemanual.. anyone know why this happens and how to fix?

Those are normal. They're the update files from 4.4

Right not those, take a look at the file above them. Also happened when I downloaded a bootanimation file, was supposed to be named boot animation.zip and came in like the first file in that screenshot. Had to rename it to correct filename.

Did you download from a Google drive folder by chance? I've seen that when downloading from drive

Yes I think it might have been from Google drive. Weird. Thanks! Know any way to correct this?

I haven't found a workaround. I just rename the zip after download. It has something to do with drive

Default SGS3 sounds & ringtones download?

Anyone still on stock care to upload them, or have a link where they're already uploaded?
Some are strongly against them, but I love them. I'd much rather wake up to a soft acoustic piano, then some annoying/loud alarm.
funny, the first thing I did was go and find a "real" ringtone....
This place doesn't have the S3 yet, but they have quite a few others..

Please do, I need them too.

I was just thinking about that when considering moving to a new rom soon. I sort of like the stock notifications, the whistle when I get an e-mail is nice.
Let me guess , You installed a custom rom Right ???
LOL

Thank you.
Is it flashable through recovery, or does it need to be manually placed in a folder. If the latter, what folder(s) do the files need to go into, I'm guessing in /system somewhere?
UPDATE: NM, found where it goes, in media/audio, it doesn't look like a flashable zip.
Download zedge from play store and get all u can imagine

No, it's not a flashable zip. I should have said that. You would need to copy these into /system/media to work. You might also need to change the permissions on them to get them to work. I copied one sound to another folder (I wanted to use it as an alarm), and I needed to change the permissions to RW to do so.

Here also is a link to a zip of the whole audio folder from a stock SGSIII on verizon.
Just got it two days ago, and had a chance to do an adb pull of the device earlier today.
I remembered seeing this thread yesterday, so made the zip of the folder in linux earlier, just got on lunch and upped it to dropbox.
I see someone else already has it up, but, figured i'd share it anyway as another copy. Also not flashable, just a zip of the folder itself.

both links are dead.... does anyone still have these to share? been looking all over for them
Edit: just copied them from system/media to the SD card using Astro

[Q] Photosphere

How would one share a photosphere image by copy/paste via pc? Other services and apps exist but is there a way to simply copy paste the .jpeg image to another phone (android 4.2+)and view as photosphere?
Is there any other metadata to be copied?(as in the case of 3D images!) Or is just copying the ".jpeg" enough?
Seriously? No one? Any idea?
I am a little confused. You can hook up the nexus 5 to your computer, then go to DCIM-->Camera and it is in there. Its nothing more than a jpeg that says "PANO......"

What I am asking is would it still behave as a Photosphere image if i take out the "image.jpeg" and copy to another nexus device?
copy the image and try it out. Let us know

Trying to sign a zip on a phone? Solved

I'm trying to create a flashable zip on my phone, but every time I try to flash to test it fails. Can anyone help?
I've tried zip signer and signapktic so it must be something I'm doing wrong

So... let's see that zip.
It's ok. Just sorted it now, obviously waking up at 4:30am has defected my brain. I was zipping the folder as a whole rather than the meta and system folders. So within my zip was another folder of the same name before them. Lol. Doh... Fail to me

How do I delete apps with a zip file in recovery?

I install a ROM nightly and there are a few files that I dont need. I was hoping to create a file I can install after my ROM that will delete the 4 apps I dont need instead of having to manually remove them from the zip every day before I install it.
If possible, all I need is a zip file that deletes apps and I think I can modify it from there. Thank you in advance!
This is what I made for myself -

I get a 404 when trying this file, any chance you have a different link?
Just edited it. Lol
Just edit the updater script to what you want

NEVERMIND, I am a dummy!
There should be text in the updater script :-S
I think drop box is playing up. Try this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyz9zmqhhjvb3fz/deleteapp.zip

You had the answer to the problem before I went into retard mode. I opened the file update-script straight from the zip before copying it onto my hard drive (so it was blank). Copying the file to the desktop and opening the file locally allowed me to edit the file without an issue. I just saved the update-script and put it back in the zip.
In hindsight, the file from Ben36 would have done the job, but I wanted to learn how to do it myself.
Glad to help! Lol

[Q] Files copied back to Download do not show up

Hello,
After backing up my phone and flashing the final 5.0, I copied the files in "Download" back to my phone. Strangely I cannot see them when I open Download from apps. With a file explorer I can see them though I've downloaded some stuff and those are visible together with the copied files with a file explorer, so the path must be right.
Do I have to do some operation in order to have everything accessible from Downloads? I feel very noob...
The download app only sees files that IT downloaded. When you wipe, download app will only see new downloads. Not files already in the folder.
