[Q]aDosBox, Windows 95 and games. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
I need your help. I've succefully launched Windows 95 through aDosBox (qemu and bosch version didn't worked), and now, I want to install there some old games like Neverhood and etc. My problem is - how to install/put into W95.img's HDD any files which are located on my sdcard? Is there any way to etc. create a disk drive, or something like that, which could be open in booted Windows?
Thanks. Winged.
cell: Samsung Galaxy SII

Resize it?
Update:
Right now I've discovered, that I can use WinImage on my PC to edit w95.img and put into it's C drive anything I want. Unfortunatelly, there's only 100mb of free disc space (another 150 is reserved for windows files)[whole w95.img weighs 250mb]. I still don't know how to expand/resize IMG's size to something about 2GB. Could you help me guys?
Winged.​

Can anyone help me?

[Q] Galaxy Tab and File System Questions

I am trying to help someone debug some software on one of these tablets and i am running into an issue with the file system.
This program has a PC component along with an App on the device.
The PC program uses adb to push the db and image files to the device.
On my phone when I plug it in to the usb port I just tell it to Charge only and everything works peach keen.
But I am finding with a lot of tablets there is no option to just let the device be pluged in and it will auto mount the "sdcard" file space for copying files over.
From the screen shots I have gotten it seems like the system is making a Sym Link to the drive space on the tablet.
As in it isn't showing up as a removable drive like my phone does when you mount the sdcard, but it looks to be under computer\GT-p7500\Tablet\
and the typical trick of clicking on the address bar to get an absolute address return no drive letter.
It is a stock unrooted device, and what I am looking for is if there is a way to keep it from mounting the "sdcard" or how it is mounting it with in the windows file system.
It has been slow going as the guy I am trying to help is in the Netherlands and I am in the states so there is a bit of lag on correspondence
Thanks for any help you can pass my way

[Q] USB MTP - Not all files

Dear all,
Strange potential issue with my ASUS Prime...
When I connect it to my PC with MTP, I'm not seeing all the files. E.g. I have a folder which contains about 15 media files and on my Windows 7 machine I only see 3 of them..
Is there another way to access the internal storage over USB ? I would like to use a Linux system to copy large amount of files..
Thanks
I already found that I can see the "missing" files by first executing a rescan.
There is an app for this SDrescan in Android Market
So still asking if we can do anything to get the old USB storage back ?

This USB storage thing IS a problem on Linux sytems with the Prime, right now. I tried everything to get it to work one day ... before finally realizing that I was wasting my time.
To copy files, you could use ADB, but that is really slow for large amounts of copying, and you do have to install the Google SDK on your machine (which isn't a bad thing, but takes time.)
3 other solutions (1 & 2 are a 2-step copy process ... and only #1 is a USB method):
1) Instead of MTP, you can use the photo option (PTP, I believe) ... it's the choice right next to MTP in your settings. Unfortunately, with this method, you can only copy to your photo folder, so from there you would need to move your files to your final destination folder. PTP did allow me to see and move any type of files.
2) Copy your files to a microSD and plug them into your Prime's microSD and copy from there. (I know this is an obvious solution, but for completeness, I included it!)
3) AirDroid -- I've used this, and it works well ... probably quite slow for large amounts of copying.
Not the greatest solutions, but they will get you by...
One thing that i discovered that let me see all my files and be able to copy them to my TFP without issues is adding the UDEV rules. wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Udev gives you a good walkthrough on how to do that, just do the all models part and change the vendor id and everything should work for you. I verified this with LinuxMint and LMDE

[Q] Unable to remove Ubuntu from android tab

I am using an android tab from chinese manufacturers i.e. its not from a top brand. The tab model is "Full AOSP on Rk29sdk" and the android version running on it is 4.0.1.
I got Ubuntu 12.04 installed through complete linux installer app ,on the tab and connected via androidVNC app. It consumed 3.5 GB space on my tab's internal memory, after the installation. I tested it and didn't like it. So, what I did is I just deleted the folder containing Ubuntu image and other files ,from the memory. Also, I uninstalled both the apps as well.
Now, still my storage shows the same availability as it did before deleting the folder. How do I recover that space ??

Remix OS not recognizing multi-touch touchpad

I installed Remix 2.0 (32-bit) onto my Dell Mini 10 (1012) netbook. So far, everything seems to be detecting perfectly, except for one thing. The touchpad is supposed to be multi-touch but it doesn't function as such. It is worth mentioning that, on Windows, I required special driver software to be able to utilize the multi-touch capability. Considering I've seen some Chromebooks automatically have their multi-touch touchpads detected, I figured Remix would do the same for my Dell. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Anyway, if any of the Jide developers are reading this, I have the driver software available for you. Follow this link. The software was developed for Windows 7 by Elantech (ELAN Microelectronics Corp.) but is being supplied by Dell. The one the Dell Mini 10 has is a Capacitive Touchpad (Smart Pad).
Hi
I can't get passed the splash screen on my Dell mini. Was your install straight forward?

Are you trying to run off USB, or install onto the internal hard drive? Make sure you're using the 32-bit version, as the 64-bit wouldn't boot for me.
FYI, as you may know, the Mini doesn't like any HD video, so unfortunately very few Android games will run properly.
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried installing on hard drive via Linux using the most recent beta. I've upgraded the ram to 2gig and installed an ssd but not sure if that would cause issue.

I used 2GB RAM and an SSD as well. So that shouldn't be an issue. But the procedure I used was different than simply installing it onto the hard drive with another computer.
Don't install using a separate operating system. It doesn't seem to work that way. You need to load it onto a USB and install onto the hard drive using the Mini. The procedure for this is, when you come to the Guest/Resident mode screen, you press TAB, then add "INSTALL=1" to the end of the grub command. This will bring up the android-x86 install menu, which will allow you to install the OS onto the hard drive the same way as using another computer. Make sure the SSD is formatted to NFTS and is completely empty prior to doing this. You can alternatively try formatting it to EX4 instead.
When prompted, install GRUB, do not install GRUB2, install debug (wont work w/o idk why). Unfortunately, you will be left with the maximum internal storage after the install, so you need to go back and use the IMGTools procedure to enlarge data.img to whatever size you want your internal storage to be.
Thats what worked for me, anyway.
That worked brilliantly, thanks very much. Have you had any success with dual boot after intalling Remix first?

Haven't tried it. But if you use a NTFS format, you should easily be able to shrink the partition after install. You would also need to edit the GRUB menu to choose which OS you want to boot with, which I have no experience doing. However, I know the new beta version of Remix does have an install tool that does this for you. So if you were intending to dual boot Remix/Windows, then it is possible to install Windows first.

Anyone hacked the omnipod dash pdms?

My deepest apologies if this is the wrong forum but I am trying to find out if anyone has been able to modify these pdms as its little more than a cell phone made by a company called Nuu and its their A1+ phone.
It appears to be stripped of all apps and not sure if its possible to root it to add the other android apps back but it would be nice if I could add them back and do things like re enable the audio plug.
I just got one of these and started to investigate such an idea, which is how I found this thread.
So far I have gotten it to be accessible in Windows 10 Pro by installing the Drivers from:
https://www.helpjet.net/Fs-34429584-64578678-97773923-devices.html
It shows up under Devices and drivers as Android. Which is the Internal Storage on it.
To view the files on it , you have to copy them to another drive on your computer.
Within Device Manager Android Phone shows and within it it shows Android Composite ADB Interface so it appears the serial port to access the phone is accessible.
I installed a 32GB MicroSD and in Device Manager it shows up under Portable Devices as does Android .
In Device Manager Drives, neither the Android or 32Gb MicroSD Show up as drives.
, but Android is viewable in Explorer as a 5.24 GB Drive.
So it appears it is susceptible to hacking, just have to figure out how to do it....
It will be cool if someone can extract applications and make them work in any Android smartphone to avoid using 2 phones.
