[Q] I need a program that will save to sdcard when i send or receive SMS

I need a program that will save (encript) to sdcard (as text file in a format) when i send or receive SMS

Hi Shoae
I m very interested about this topic and want to give some suggestion. You can download app SMS Backup & Restore. That will saves them to the SD card which can then be restored to ur phone. So I prefer SMS Backup that saves them to Gmail because having large message threads is a big source of lag and takes up internal phone memory.
Example:
Contacts: Go to people > menu > import/export > export to sd
Media: It is stored on your SD card so you can copy it to your computer
I hope it will be helpful 4 u...........

hi monikasaini,
i want to save any received or sent message immediately in xml format with encryption to sdcard
thanks

So the inbox / outbox will always be clean with 0 messages as they are all stored encrypted somewhere else? What kind of encryption is required ? And how would you want to read them (with app, pc...)? And why don't you add steganography as an added layer of protection (What if you were forced to give the pass when they see your xml + encrypted data) ?
That could be an interesting project to develop...
If you want to discuss about it, I'm here.

Demo, sans encryption and xml
Hey there shoae,
I've put together a demo and uploaded to the market here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.puzzleduck.StalinSMS
You can also check out the source code on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stalinsms/
It still needs some work, it only stores in text, there is no encryption and it is storing duplicates some times. But I wanted to get it out there and see what people think. Oh, it probably asks for a million permissions it never uses (this is an adaptation of StalinPhone).
Should I store more/less data (gps & nearby wifis maybe... I do this in StalinPhone).
Are there formats other than xml people want? sqlite db? csv?
Should the logs be stored per day (as it is) or per conversation/contact/thread?
Enjoy, I've got a party I'm late for

[Q] Dropbox - Change location of default file location

Hi All,
I use dropbox a lot and I make many files "favourite" meaning they will be saved offline on my device. However soon I will be running out of space on my internal memory, and I was wondering is it possible to change the default path where these offline files are stored. i would like to move the default path to my external SD card which is 64GB and has enough space to store the offline files. Dropbox has no setting to change the path where the files are stored.
Are the any settings or apps which can change the path where the offline files are stored.
Any advice would be appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

I use an app called "FolderSync"(paid). It can be set to automatically sync folders from several cloud storage sites to a local folder that can place on the ext. card. You can even set each individual folder to be either one way or two way sync. I use it with Dropbox, box.net, google drive, and skydrive.
I think with the free version it does not give the option for immediate sync when changes are made. I think it only has manual and scheduled sync available. I forgot if the free version has two way sync.

Other options are using FOLDERMOUNT to link external dir to internal dir.
Or you can also use ext2int script to mount ext sdcard as internal and internal sdcard as external.

Lost the documents app

I recently got root and was moving some apps to the sd card and accidentally deleted my documents app thinking it was the "Google Documents" app for text editing, when it was actually the default file explorer on the moto 3, android 6.0. This is pretty bad because a lot of apps direct me to this app (for instance to choose a backup file like in "reddit is fun"). The documents app then instantly crashes because it's not there. It also crashes randomly everyday.
Can I download an apk of the documents app somewhere? I already searched but couldn't find any. Does anyone maybe want to get an apk file from there documents app?
tl;dr: deleted documents app, need it back

Stored media files not showing up in other apps on OB3?

So I'm running OB3, and it's flawless so far aside from one thing:
Saved media files aren't showing up in Facebook or Textra.
I'm unable to access downloaded ringtones or notifications in any app, and I have a folder that I use to post images on facebook, and it's just not showing up in the app.
Has anyone else seen or had this happen?

[HELP THREAD] File Explorer on some social media is not the same as a gallery, all photos are shuffled and all photo date captions are just one date

#ask
My cellphone has an error suddenly all of my social media get weird every time I want to upload a file, all files that are opened in the social media file manager get messed up, and the description of all files becomes (one date is October 17, 2022) which says "yesterday", all of them so "yesterday".
In the normal gallery, it's just that when you open Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, etc., there is one date for the photo/video data description.
The problem is that I don't know the keywords when I want to search on Google, so I ask here.
Thanks.
Detailed list of images in the gallery (short by time/date)
List details when selecting files on social media (chaotic, not short by time/date).

When uploading files, try using the same gallery app with everything. In this case Facebook tries to use the file manager recent files. Select your gallery app from within there and you will see it as usual

I'm still wondering with all this, is there a way to make all the time data back to normal as in the gallery or change the file manager used by Facebook?

Did this problem occur after you have updated your ROM? A new version of Android?

No, I didn't change my rom and for the problem of updating my Android, it was updated a few days ago. For more information, photos on Facebook file manager that have captions (17 october) in the original gallery are different from Facebook

I remember trying https://stackoverflow.com/questions...the-files-in-android-phone-by-using-adb-shell . Then I tried to unlock OEM, and reboot the device using ADB.
And tried some ADB commands, like pull file
