Hello,
I've Urukdroid 0.7 installed on the SD card of my Archos 70.
I would like to upgrade to 1.0.
Following the wiki I've to download a file UrukDroid-1.0-upgrade.tbz2 but when I go with the default web browser of Archos on the link provided in the wiki, the web browser opens me an "ugly" text page will all strange alphanumeric caracters in place of proposing me a pop up to download the file.
Any idea how to solve that?
Rookie question...
Thanks for reading...
Vincent
Longer press on link and then "save link"
I had the same issue yesterday
This is because the browser dont know the *.tbz2 file, so the browser open the file as a text document (standart option)
You have to do this with the "fix" from the first poster
Or (if you have dolphin browser hd) you open the site and klick on
menubutton>>more>>save page

First thanks to you two for your fast answers.
I don't have installed yet the market in Urukdroid mode then no Dolphin.
I pressed long then save link then I've a file UrukDroid-1.txt of 139Mb.
I renamed it with the right full name. I copy it with the default file manager in a directory UrukUpdate I created by myself under Android/data that is displayed in "Internal" even if I install UD06 on my SD card...
When I ask to force update via urukconfig, it says that no file found in /data/UrukUpdate.
Knowing that during the installation of UD06 on my SD card, I said No to copy the data, is it normal that /Android/data is under internal and that no /data/UrukUpdate exists?

1) You can download free apps also under freewarelovers.com
Link to download Dolphin Browser is :
http://www.freewarelovers.com/hotlinkmenot/temp/62535a/1300039853_Dolphin_Browser_HD_4.5.0.apk
2) You have to this with a root file manager (not the /data directory in the "normal" file manager (this file manager only check the /storage directory ))
You can download AndRootFile (the best free i know) here:
http://andbox.googlecode.com/files/AndRootFile_3.0_beta_signed.apk
Hope i could help you

Have Fun!

I'm rather new to these kind of devices so please excuse the ignorance.
I have an XDA Atom Exec, I upgraded to WM6 with this site successfully.
I also would like to install HTC Home and Customizer as I like the big clock and icons, however I can't seem to find instructions on how to install them. I tried using the search function but nothing came up.
Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you.
Have you downloaded the cab files for HTC HOME and CUSTOMISER , if so just go copy them to your phone and then navigate from the file explorer of the phone to where you have pasted , and run (tap) Hope this helps.......
If you have not downloaded them ....find Ironeagles thread on this forum , to find the links
Or you can download the cab from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html

Carty..
Hi, thank you for trying to help.
I think the problem is that I can't run the "setup". It opens in Internet explorer just like on my PC, I downloaded another copy from Carty's site and the same thing happens. Do I need a special program to open the setup XML file?
Thanks again..

Hey Carty, I would like to ask about your Ultimate Theft protection. If I flash a new ROM, will it still be there?

Well after downloading the zip file to my PC, I unzipped it in a created folder.
Sync'd my atom exec with the PC.
Opened File Explorer from ActiveSync, opened Program files on Atom Exec and just moved created folder with unzipped file into Atom.
After opened the created file from within the device and click "setup" with the stylus.
It opens up Internet Explorer and I can only view it as a document of some sort.
Hope that makes sense
No mate , you dont have to ZIP it (you are actually zipping the cab file which runs directly on the ppc , copy the .cab file without zipping it to your PC and then run ..)
This is what you do wrong

if you will list the contents of your zip file, that would be helpful. we don't normally copy files to program files for installation.
Thank you everyone... the problem was exactly what udayrulz was describing. I merely had to just move the file over to the device and click it, instead of unzipping, create a folder etc.
Thanks again, this plugin is much easier on the eyes!
No Problem , glad it worked out
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a browser that will allow me to download files to my SD card but I'm having no luck finding one. Opera allows downloads, but there is no way to make it download in \sdcard-ext\ it only DLs to the phone memory which is no good for large files.
How can I download files to the \sdcard-ext\ folder?
thx
David
I usually don't bump my own threads but...
Are there any Atrix users out there that know how to download a file via web browser to the removable sdcard?
Dolphin Browser HD
Just set your download directory in settings to the correct path (sdcard-ext instead of sdcard)
Yup Dolphin lets you set the DL dir to anything you want which is great, but I have trouble getting Dolphin to DL from many web sites, specifically ulozto.cz which is a Czech movie file sharing site.
To see what I mean do this:
1. Using Dolphin, go to ulozto.cz
2. Search for "bastardi"
3. click "stahnout" (which means download)
4. type in the 4 letter captcha code to start DL
...the download never starts w/Dolphin. By the way this site does work w/Opera, but Opera can DL to sdcard-ext...
thanks anyway and if you have any more ideas I'd love to hear them...
I'm having this issue myself. When I try downloading a large file after a while I get a error "source could not be found". Smaller files will download sometimes sometimes they wont. Any reason why downloading to a pre installed SD doesn't seem to work? I set up dolphin HD to my extra SD. Seems to work but have yet to download a large file.
This app will let you download whatever you want:
http://goo.gl/hDBt4
Thanks, I'll try it tonight...
The app "Download All Files" did not work for me. Did you try it on the website I listed above?
Hey Guys, I'm a newbie so be gentle. First off, this website is the best. Thanks for lost of tips and tricks. OK, I've rooted my NT. Where do the downloads go? I can't find them in any Nook folder? Can I specify where to put downloads? Since I rooted am I not seeing some folders? I've download pdfs from the web and I've downloaded epub from my library via Digital Editions adn I can't see either on the NT. Thanks.
Usually, when you download through a browser they go into /sdcard/download.
Sent from my pseudo-Nexus S using XDA premium
Whenever I download from the stock browser they end up here:
media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet
You might need to download an alternative launcher I personally use go launcher
Greetings...How do u get to media/My Files/My Downloads?...
Or how do u navigate through the different directories for that matter?...
Thank you...
use ESFileExpolorer to navigate through your /media folders...
Thank you mac4rfree for the feedback...I've installed it and poked around, but don't have a full understanding of what I'm doing or navigating it...Is there a tutorial that can walk me through how to use it, what it does, etc.?...
Thanking you...
My downloads with Dolphin go into the dolphin downloads folder.
Bill
@thesal,, first go to settings clicking on menu button,,,, then you cann add "/" as home directory,,, if you want to write files to the root, then check on root checkbox... hopeful that will give u a start
check out their site too..

go to application manager, find "browser", then clear the default and then download another browser like "Maxthon" which i use
Thank you, clearing "internet" app cache helped
After some checking, problem could be also using Directory Bind to mount download catalog, reason was to export all download files from internal sdcard (memory) to extsdcard.
Hi,
I would like to open a *.html file from my SD card with Chrome.
With Opera it is : "file://localhost/mnt/extSdcard/Myfolder/myfile.html"
With the native browser it is "file://mnt/extSdcard/Myfolder/myfile.html"
I have tried with Chrome many possibilities but it doesn't work.
Any idea please.
Thanks.

I don't know. Try open it when you browse your files with a file manager.

Try : "file:///localhost/mnt/extSdcard/Myfolder/myfile.html" with three "/" after "file:".
On my laptop (running Archlinux and Chromium), to open file I have try "file:///localhost/home/*myuseraccount*/*myfilename*.txt" and it works.

Here's a link which worked for me on my Nexus 4:
file://localhost//storage/emulated/0/MyFolder/MyFile.ex
\___________________________________/\___________________/
..............................↓................................................↓...............
................Path of the sd-card.........................Your path........
For example:
file://localhost//storage/emulated/0/Download/picture.jpg
I tried to open the sd-card and it denied the access, but I could open the downloads folder. I don't know exactly why but it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the link is workin

Otherwise i get a page stating "Access to the file was denied. ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Having the file on the internal storage (i.e. the phone / device) and not an external storage (SD card) worked for me also.
FOR OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES:
Generally Android browsers do not allow viewing of files on the external media card (SD card) for security reasons (e.g.. a malicious website could read/write to your SD card). Directory browsing is also prohibited. So if you try to load a page it may give the option to open the file using its HTML viewer - which isn't as fully functional as a browser (and no good for simple web page design testing).
Placing the file on the device's internal storage (e.g. in Download folder) and opening the URL link in the browser (e.g. file:///sdcard/Download/file.html †) will open the HTML file in the browser normally.
†Despite "sdcard" being in the name, "file:///sdcard/Download/file.html" is actually a path to the internal device storage. (The device's internal storage is an emulated SD card for technical reasons). An external SD card path is usually "extSDcard" or similar - but the browser will not load it due to the security restrictions mentioned.
