How To - Load full desktop websites permanently in Chrome for Android Mobile

Hey guys, I wrote an article over on our site that shows a quick walkthrough on how to display full desktop websites permanently on Chrome for Android Mobile so that you don't have to visit the mobile site, then hit "request desktop site" button any more. Considering Chrome is an awesome browser with full sync, and works very well on Jelly Bean, this might be of use to all of you. I know I was sick of having to constantly click the button.

works!
I need to add from my personal experience, however, that when you try and download the file as part of the guide, your brower may add a ".bin" (for Chrome mobile) or ".txt" (default Android browser) on the end of the filename. This modification appears to not work if this .bin/.txt is present so delete that bit, only leaving "chrome-command-line" as the file name.
Also, for those whos root explorer of choice has letters rather than numbers for permissions, 755 is rwxr-xr-x

Thanks for the feedback! I'll go add that in there right away.
Edit: Added in a Heads up message :
Heads up:
If the file downloads anything other than a blank file (eg: chrome-command-line.txt, chrome-command-line.bin) then rename it to only “chrome-command-line” and paste it in the correct location.
Thanks again!
WORKS!

EnableFlash for Windows 8 (RT w/JailBreak)

This is a utility which allows you to whitelist flash (Enable Adobe Flash) on any website. on Metro IE
Mainly, this is intended for RT tablets, as they do not have any other way of displaying flash content.
Metro apps are installed via "Developer License"
This means that they will expire, and need to be reactivated/reinstalled. If the share
feature disappears, just rerun the installation.
Feature List:
Automates the white-listing of Flash websites using the "Share" function
Clears History, to save you the trouble of doing it manually.
This utility installs on any Windows 8 machine, Natively on x86, and on RT if jailbroken.
You need to simply share the page which has flash content (not whitelisted), and click the "Enable Flash" Icon.
The utility will download any details about the page that it can, and it will give you an option to select which ones you
want to whitelist. Once you've selected your targets,
Click the "Do it" button, and you will be given an option to clear your history.
When that's done, go back to the page and refresh. That's it! Enjoy!
NOTE: Internet Explorer automatically resets the compatibility list, which means that sites you add will stop working after a while.
Follow these steps to prevent that.
1) Go to Desktop IE
2) Press the "alt" key once. the menu bar will show up.
3) Navigate to Tools > Compatibility View Settings.
4) Deselect "Download updated compatibility lists from Microsoft"
5) Click "Close".
To Install:
Latest Version
http://barsuleo.com/enable-flash-nonet-1.0.3.zip
ADDED: Avoiding duplicate whitelisting.
ADDED Whitelist sanitization (locate/remove duplicate entries)
The new version clears ONLY your browsing history, leaving your cookies, and other desirable data in place.
Should be pretty helpful.
http://barsuleo.com/enable-flash-nonet-1.0.2.zip
http://barsuleo.com/enable-flash-nonet-1.0.0.zip
Extract, then run "Install.exe"
Make sure you select Yes[y], or Run[r] through all the prompts.
Please be aware that if you want to run this on an RT Tablet, e.g. Surface, you need this jailbreak.
Enjoy!
Changes:
Changed to File-based system vs. Networking
Now it works!

Do we have to reboot after each addition?

Wow! This program is awesome champ! The share integration is genius!
Nope.
Clear history on IE and refresh the page. Should do the trick.

Please make sure that the server [whitelist-srv.exe] is running.

Great work so far!
I still keep running into some errors though:
- It seems to be searching for a whitelist-srv.exe process - only srv.exe running on my device --> communication error
- It doesn't support the germanic umlaut (ä, ö, ü) in any of the folders names (my Username)
also another button to enable flash, but without clearing browser history would be nice (e.g. "Not this time")
I can confirm this bug too
You were fine

I do not currently have an account with non-ansi characters, but i will run through that asap. It may be that the issue was with communication, which i've fixed. Anyways, if you run into more issues, shoot it on the post.
EDIT: Changed some encoding settings in the setup file, should work.
Your are more than welcome.
I have tryV3 with the instalation that you suggested (killing the srv.exe process first), but I still have the communication error.
"Please make sure that the service [srv.exe] is running"
Will look into it asap.

I will add some more debugging info on the next version. I've tested it on every machine that I have and it seems to work. :/
You can also try to launch the server service manually from /bin/srv.exe.
Also, when you first launch it, it asks for network access permissions. make sure you allow it, otherwise it won't work.
weird
even after update to 1.0.3 it seems to search for whitelist-srv.exe, and doesn't seem to find the server, even though i renamed the process to whitelist-srv
i don't really get that
A few things:
Redownload 1.0.3. rerun the install.
if your error actually says "whitelist-srv.exe", the app didn't reinstall. if it says "srv.exe",
kill "FlashUpdate Server" from taskmanager. then run "RunFlashServer.exe" from the download zip file.

nice idea, but i won't register an account. why? it's just a way to start charging people money for using the service. i know it's free now, but for how long?
Didnt use it yet , but it looks like workin the same way Chrome's extension "Chrome to mobile" ..... send link to ur mobiles to download or serf or whatever you wanna do. its even easier just click and send no need to register or have an app in your phone
or am wrong ?
it's a good alternative but there are better ways, and just like the other user said , it's free for now , but how long it'll be free?
You can use a chrome extension to convert any download link to qr code and download from phone or if you dont have your phone next to you, you can download to your pc and use dropbox (or any other cloud service) and if you have the app on your phone you can download it whenever you want to your phone , and you keep a backup too!

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why
http 192.168.1.133:4321/shbx_uri/ictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_2014-10-27-14-17-01.png
'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
