Samba FileSharing - TouchPad Themes and Apps

Has anyone been able to get this program to work properly? I have not been able to get it to auto start in months. Finally getting around to trying to figure out whats up.

I use it everyday... when the window pops up that says if you want to force close or wait you just tell it to wait

Does it auto start like it should after rebooting your TP?

Nope since it has that issue it will auto start but it makes no difference... you still have to open the app and manually start connection....
Now lemme offer some advice... not sure why you use it but I use it because its the only app that allows the SMB connection. Which allows me to drag its network address to a command window and perform a robocopy /mir function and sync the contents to a folder on my computer
If you just want wireless access to your TouchPad and don't need that function there are other apps that will autostart correctly like RemoteWebDesktop, FTPDroid and ESFile Explorer also has added that function
Hope that helps. But I'm stubborn. I have SAMBA on all my Android devices because it just works. Have not been able to figure out what the glitch is with it starting up

I use it to transfer files (videos and such) to my kids touchpads when I am not home or when they are using it. I realize I can start it each time, but it was nice having a windows share that i could copy files to even when I was not there to launch Samba. I wish the developer would fix the "wifi tether mode" issue or whatever is keeping it from auto starting like it used to.
Thanks for the advice cdzo72, Ill give some of the other options a try. Ive been using FTPServer in the meantime.

I cant get FTPDroid (or FTPServer for that matter) to auto start on boot reliably. I am on the latest nightly with latest gapps. Is there a trick or something I am missing?
Is this a CM9 issue with allowing apps to auto start?
EDIT: It must be an issue with CM9 and Samba conflicting, the exact same thing happens on my OG Incredible with CM9.

It looks like Samba FS is now starting at boot as it should (just installed the 7/18 nightly).
Awesome!

Perma-Temp Root + HULU FIX

ANNOUNCING PERMA-TEMP ROOT + HULU FIX!!!!
I've taken the excellent existing information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159354 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054&page=46
See the first link for instructions, etc. Basically just plug your phone into your PC, make sure USB debugging is on, using your phone as charge only, and that HTC Sync isn't running. Then open up the attached zip and run Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT + HULU FIX. OH, and I'm not sure if it matters, but have the latest Adobe Flash player installed on your phone before you start (10.3.185.25)
That's it! Your phone should be rooted AND HULU-ready until you reboot.
WHAT I DID: All I did was add a few commands that will delete your lib file from com.adobe.flashplayer, then install a different .lib file with correct permissions. Now, when you go browse Hulu with your stock browser or Dolphin (making sure your settings are set to disable mobile browsing, or set as DESKTOP VIEW, etc), Hulu won't recognize your phone as non-desktop, and you'll be free to watch Hulu all you want!
[Please note: this is my first time doing anything like this, as in first time ever creating a .bat file or doing anything with adb beyond the very basics; please bear that in mind when ripping me apart for being a noob ]
If this was helpful, please let me know with a thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to abe_ahmed09 for reminding me this works with stock browser too!
Unable to test this right now due to no PC access. But dude, no one should rip you apart, you are trying to help the community and I commend you do doing things that a lot of others do not have the ability to do.

Thanks man that's nice of you to say! I really enjoy XDA because (if I'm diligent) I can learn little by little, ask a few questions here and there, and look back and realize I've made a decent amount of progress!
works great! tried it without updating Flash and that was a no go, but once I updated it works perfectly!
Thanks to you and all of the devs out there for all of their hard work these past couple of weeks!

Glad it's working! I'll add emphasis to the fact that you need the latest version of flash for it to work.
Here's a question: are there any other programs out there that have to be tweaked AFTER root in order to work? What I mean is, right now I've got 10 or 20 root apps that work flawlessly after I root. But if there are good apps out there that require additional tweaking after root, perhaps we could incorporate that into the .bat as well

Should be--I just tried and it was fine.
Worst-case scenario, reboot phone and then run it! Either way, because of the nature of temp-root, it's all pretty "SAFE" at this point

Oh hell no! Just use the free Dolphin Browser from the market, then go to settings and choose "Desktop" so that websites think you're browsing from a PC/Mac. When you get to HULU, depending on your settings, you may need to click the green arrow to watch the video.
Works in Full Screen too!!
...of course, if you're talking about Hulu-plus-only videos---then yes, you'd of course need Plus to view those videos just as you would elsewhere.
EDIT: Reading over your comment again I guess I need to clarify further: nothing here is "ad supported" because there are no apps, etc that I've provided. ALL MY HULU FIX DOES IS SWAP OUT A FILE IN YOUR ADOBE APP FOLDER THAT TRICKS HULU INTO THINKING YOU'RE A COMPUTER. But note that you'll still need a BROWSER that enables you to browse like a computer.
Were these points unclear to anyone else?
Works after updating flash to 10.3.

So just to be safe I rebooted my phone, to lose root, and ran your .bat script. After i ran the script I opened up terminal and type in "su" and is said permission denied. So I didnt have root, i ended up using one of the other .bat script from the forums and running your .bat script after. Everything worked like a charm after that thanks for putting this together. =] Great job

Awesome, Great to hear it! Ya, not sure why the root method in my OP isn't working for you...different people have posted different results with the same root method! Anyway glad it's working, and as you discovered, there should be no problem running this on a rooted phone
Now I've tweaked it further so it'll overclock your phone to 1.8 GHz! I might make a new thread for that...
Root is working but hulu does show up and starts to play then I get a message telling me its not supported on this platform. I updated flash and mobile mode has been disabled.

Tasker on Touchpad?

I have been using Tasker for over a year now on my Atrix and would love to load it on my touchpad, but it appears it is not suppported according to the Android Market. Has anyone gotten it to install? Is this just a matter of the Market or the app creator not being caught up with the dev done on the touchpad?
Maybe copy your tasker apk form your Atrix, than use it on TP?

You can use an app called bluetooth file transfer. Once paired theres an option to send apps from your phone to the touchpad. It works great...

/data/app/
You can just email it to yourself and install from the attachment.
If you can't find it that way, you can download app monster, and manually make a backup of Tasker, then navigate to app monster folder and email it from there. This is what I do when apps dont show in the market. Hell, Im bored ill try right now.
and yes Tasker works beautifully.

It shows up in the Market from my TouchPad for me. I've had it installed since the first day I switched over to CM7, but I haven't really done much with it, except to verify that it does recognize events and execute tasks.
So I tried coping it from my phone, but when I ran the apk it wouldn't install on the touchpad. In the market my device is greyed out unfortunatly, I am using MIUI... Guess I will have to try the backup route
Maybe a MIUI vs CM issue?

Airdroid

I think it's great. Anyone else using it got any tips?
I use it... Sadly, the QR function doesn't work (the camera won't start) and the screenshot thing doesn't work too (even if rooted).
I just downloaded it based on your suggestion and I have to say, this app kicks ass. No more USB cable, ADB, exporting files from dropbox, everything syncs seamlessly. Just what I was looking for.
I use it for a while and I love it. I also have the with cam to scan code.. This must be linked to our device as utilisé working on my mobile phone

Airdroid on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
Hi there! First, I want to THANK YOU for this amazing app you created. I use it all the time, and I love it.
I'm sending this email because the QR Code reader of the app doesn't work on my TF300T: it opens a black screen, without the camera. This is the only problem I have with your app, and it would be really great if you fix this (since it will be easy to connect to airdroid, no password needed).
I would also like tomake a little sugestion. When the app runs on a tablet in landscape mode (horizontally), airdroid forces the screen to use the portrait mode (vertically). This is really annoying, especially if I have the dock keyboard connected with the tablet.
Well, thanks in advance, and good luck with your project

Can you explain more? "Them" as in all together or as in one by one ? Because I am sure I can move one (eg a sub-directory in a directory) though I don't use the drag and drop

im talking about multiple directories at one time, as sometimes I transfer folders and files and it only lets you transfer multiple files, not multiple folders,
best option is to use ftp server/client as this works, until fixed,
please explain
Could you explain how you connect thru "ftp server/client". Thanks
Check out swiftftp, works a treat on both my tf300and sgs2
Thanks. Will do.
unfortunately for me this app is really slow when trying to access anything from their website. Takes ages for messages and files to show up on the site. I'm using a fibre optic connection so shouldnt be an issue!

LunaCE

If you've not been back to webOS in while, this is worth checking out. The devs at webOS internals have built a community edition of the Luna manger used by webOS.
Great new features. Best (in my view) are the new gestures allowing to switch between apps by swiping in from the edge of the screen. Card stacks can be put in tabs for faster switching too. Behaves like I imagine windows 8 will from the videos I've seen. Definitely worth checking out. Only word of warning is that you must be running the latest webOS version which can be a tricky update with android installed. Nothing too tough.. Something to play around with anyhow
You will also need to enable beta testing feeds in order to download the new Luna. This will require you to remove preware and reinstall
as well as modifying the settings in preware. There are several changes that need to be made but the webosnation forum has detailed instructions for making all the changes.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
good point. I didn't find enabling beta feeds too tough. Worse was updating webOS to 3.05. The ota update doesn't play nice with moboot on some devices. Kept failing. I used webOS doctor to update. That actually removes moboot (not android, just moboot) so I just used acme to reinstall moboot only.

looks nice, now get it out of beta I had trouble getting beta feed to work, I wasn't savy enough to get it right the first time so I went back to default preware lol

I have both beta and alpha feeds enabled but don't think I found the right file. When I do a search for Luna I get two files one dated a month ago, which doesn't seem to do anything and the other dated 2010 which obviously isn't it. What is the file name.

Not sure where the difficulty was for you, but a decent set of instructions are on the webOS internals wiki.

You'll need a computer with a working novaterm installed. From there its just copy/paste. I uninstalled preware then used the novaterm connection to enable the feed and reinstall preware

the file is LunaCE. Make sure the feed is enabled using the instructions AND enabled in the preware manage feeds menu. When preware is updating feeds, do you see beta feeds being shown as the circle spins?

Yes I see both beta and alpha the only feed I don't have enabled is the preware theme feed. Could it be in there? Also it was almost a year ago that I installed preware so could there be a new beta feed that I will get if I uninstall and reinstall preware?
UPDATE: ok I figured it out it was under beta-woce which has wasn't enabled. I. Hadn't noticed that feed yesterday but I have it now so thank you.

No , you must also install an app from preware called" Tweaks " .I made the same mistake myself. Open Tweaks then in its menu settings enable gestures etc .

You might be able to download a terminal emulator in preware, then follow the same instructions entering the commands there instead of with a pc.

hdad is right. You can use xecutah/xserver/xterm to do this. Heres a short video showing it running:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDzhOylypv4
You can use this to run the commands. I tried it once before but wasnt very familiar with it so I went the webOS quick install route instead. But if you dont have a PC to work on, try this out.
The process to get the alpha/beta feeds installed though requires you to delete preware. Which, without a PC, is kinda tricky to get back. You can try Save/Restore. Its kind of like Titanium Backup for webOS. But I dont know if restoring it from there will effect the command changes you make. Or download Internalz Pro and email the Preware ipk to your device, I think you can use Internalz to handle package installs.

Yeah, its not the Xecutah part i'd have trouble with, it's the "enable alpha/beta feeds" part. I only have one PC that will work properly with novacom, and its my dads slow-as-heck Windows Vista laptop. I'd rather wait for this to exit beta than risk it(cause I don't trust the laptop)

What do you mean? The ENTIRE process is carried out on the TouchPad from within webOS using Xecutah... using the terminal with Novacom is an entirely different route of doing the same thing
The only thing you use the laptop for is to view the wiki site where the enable commands are... but ALL commands are typed in and executed ON THE TOUCHPAD and not connected in any way, shape or form to the computer....
Hope this helps and gets you on the way to enjoying the new tweaks
By the way... they have updated to LunaCE 4.90

OMG! Just discovered "Wireless Storage" in the QSlide menu... holy sh**!

I haven't seen anyone point this out yet, but this is almost the single coolest thing on this phone...
Basically, when you enable it, it makes your sdcard accessible via a CIFS/SMB share! So when you turn it on, you can access your sdcard contents wirelessly via your Windows/Linux/Mac workstation just as if it were any other file share.
Just turn it on, open Windows Explorer (or equivalent on other OS) and mount the phone using its IP:
\\ip.address.of.phone\
You'll see a vs980_4g_lte folder and inside is sdcard0. This is *so* much faster than dealing with MTP to copy things to/from the phone. Go ahead and mount it as a drive letter if you want, or just use it via the UNC path.
I am in awe... why isn't this part of AOSP? Yet another reason to hang on to the stock OS...
Reason #16 for me to get this phone!!!
I use airdroid. So many more options. But yeah it's handy to have.

Wait... ah yes, okay. I see. It's in that "tool bar" thing where the "QSlide Settings" button is. My mistake.
Thanks for this. I wondered what it was but didn't bother to really check it out. This is brilliant. However, I've been having issues in general pushing large folders (several gigs) to the the phone whether it's via ADB, MTP, or now wireless storage. It seems to get stuck on certain files for some reason and can never finish. Anyone else experiencing this? I might have to start my own thread because this is really irking me.
Followup: Now it seems to be going through and speeds are pretty decent but still slower than ADB push. I'll try it larger files later and see if the speed improves.

What kind of speed do you get? I tried copying some music files to phone, and averaged about 1.2 MB/s over wireless N.
Anyone had any issue with their phone showing up on their network? Laptop/desktop/printer show up just fine.....phone is nowhere to be found, yet it connects to wifi just fine. Am I missing a setting on the phone that allows it to be detected?

over 5Ghz wireless, files from the phone to pc @ 4.0 MB/s.
PC to the phone was slower @ 2.8 MB/s
Anyone able to mount your phone as a network drive on Windows? Kind of annoying to have to type in the IP every time I want to connect.

Yep. I experimented with a few things and it worked when I put a /G2 at the end of the IP address.
So, //192.168.x.xx/G2

Works on MAC?

I haven't seen anyone point this out yet, but this is almost the single coolest thing on this phone...
Basically, when you enable it, it makes your sdcard accessible via a CIFS/SMB share! So when you turn it on, you can access your sdcard contents wirelessly via your Windows/Linux/Mac workstation just as if it were any other file share.
Just turn it on, open Windows Explorer (or equivalent on other OS) and mount the phone using its IP:
\\ip.address.of.phone\
You'll see a vs980_4g_lte folder and inside is sdcard0. This is *so* much faster than dealing with MTP to copy things to/from the phone. Go ahead and mount it as a drive letter if you want, or just use it via the UNC path.
I am in awe... why isn't this part of AOSP? Yet another reason to hang on to the stock OS...

It works best in your file browser. It's a local network storage IP address.

I had to c/p the addy from WinExplorer but that is so much easier then having to type in the IP each time

Go to Finder and hit Command K. Then enter smb://ip_address/

My phone says to enter the IP address in browser and I can't connect in Chrome or IE. How do you mount this in windows? Also my phone address has the slashes reversed ( \\192.xxxx\g2 vs. //192.xxxx/g2). Which way is it?
