[Q] Manually adding files - HTC Droid DNA

I'm trying to add some files to my DNA but it will only let me add image files and music through HTC's sync manager. Is there any way to manually select and add files to my phone?

Just go to my computer and double click on your phone.

I'm on a mac at the moment. It won't let me add files like i did with my other droids.

Found a way around my problem, found the app "Android File Transfer." Not sure why but on OSX i cant move files around without HTC's software or AFT.

Because thats the only tool which enables MTP mode drivers for OSX

[Q] copying photos error

Ahhhhh! That stupid MTP mode is an utter pain, how hard would it have been for sony to implement mass storage!! I know it is available via root but I'm not willing to unlock my bootloader just yet.
Trying to copy photos by copying and pasting them using the crappy windows explorer within the phone menu, but after copying the process bar gets suck at 4% and doesn't do anything!
I have tried the importing photos option but it finds a whole load of album art which I don't want copied...
Can anyone help with the best way to copy them over?
cheeeeers
Adb plugin for Total Commander. Hadn't failed me once.

it happened to me once, i was copying some pictures from my pc to my xs, then it always stopped at 40% at the picture number xxx41, then i copied again everything except the picture number xxx41 and there you go, i think the phone detected it as a corrupted file or something, then later, at the end i just copied only that single picture and pasted it in my xs without a problem
Or just use the always faithful Droid explorer, works with no mucking around and has a few Android developer enhancements.

Don't you need root for that method though?
K900, could you post some links the Adb plugin search doesn't reveal much
cheers

Hacking android games- on PC [Q]

Hello, basically I am wondering what is the best program to edit .DAT files ( the typ of file that is [mostly] used by android-game dev's to save stored data of the game )
and edit them,
also i was wondering what if I can't find the game/app map when connected to USB?
> I want to do it on the PC because I have the one X and are NOT going to root it.
Regards!
In order to access those files and write on them (edit them), you need root.

Please read again, I can access them through my computer easily, in fact I have them open now on HxD editor, but I need a good program to edit these .DAT files with.
Then you need to push those files to the phone, which requires root

Since when you need root to access a file created by application that doesn't require root?

The file of an app, say a game is under \data\data and in order to change or replace those files, you need root.

An app cannot write there under normal circumstances.. For writing there you need root, but games doesn' store their savegames there.
Let me put it differently.. if an app doesn't ask for root, all files it creates can be accessed by adb.

This is why non rooted phones cannot cheat on games, they cannot access the files there.
When you go into app settings and look under each app, there is a section that says data....x MB. And you can clear data. That data is stored under /data/data

Check again. All user installed apps have folders there with some associated data. Some games don't have their savegames there, others do.

Indeed, and the games I'm wondering about do have the save game in the folder, simply access-able when I connect my phone (One x) to the PC.
Any how, how could I open these files, with what program?

The save games' files are usually XML files. You should be able to simply use notepad (or any other text/word associated software) to edit them.

Hex editor, and messing around to see what each adress does. Every game dev uses their own liba and stuff, there is no universal program to edit those files.
Its like writting your own secret code inside a book, someone else might open it, but go figure out how to interpret each line.
In-app Android
Is it possible to hack games and get free in-app purchases such as on the iphone for android i've been looking but haven't found anything yet.

It sure is. Hell, there even is a forum wide XDA announcement about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530
You might try enabling USB debugging... Found under developer options. This is in all Android devices enabling varies by release. Try checking out Setting - About Android - build version click that 7 times and it should enable it in main settings. It has already been said you really should root. This is usually the first step to getting root. I know nothing about HTC, but chainfire root has worked for me many times, from Sony, Moto and Samsung. Google your make and model + root +xda dev.
I myself have used Hex Editor, but it looks like garbage to me. Good luck and please give an update if you find a template or app
Interesting. I'm trying to hack my own game. Hope I can, because it obviously is possible...lol.
Hacking HTC devices is hard as hell, i have htc one and i can tell
The root needs clock work mode
And this CWM needs bootloader and the bootloader needs hellava time and experience
I just dont have time to do all that sh1t, isnt there an easier way to root stupid htc's, or at least to hack games on pc
Or hack the games without rooting
And dont tell me to use lucky patcher because its bullsh1t
Thx for reading

Access to system files?

So I was doing something and I was in a file browser and thought this was weird..
http://db.tt/JaBFFf6l
Just out of curiosity is that normal? On my old phone before I had root, file managers wouldn't even show system files let alone access to them.

I was able to read system on my original Incredible before I had root, and the same with this phone. I can't modify anything, but I can pull files/apps and save them elsewhere.
/data, on the other hand, is a different story. You have to have root to be able to view or modify anything there.

Sense stock mail app: Is there any way to select all?

Here is another trivial one. The sense gallery shows my download folder, which has pictures/garbage from all my exchange email I get in the sense email app. Is there a way to keep gallery from picking up this crap, or change where the sense mail app stores/cache's its images? The .no media file trick doesnt seem to work.

Make a file called .nomedia in the folder. No spaces and nothing else in the file name. Just tried it and it works.

Can you reboot and see if stuff shows up? I still get an "all downloads" section in my gallery which contains a ton of images from html email from the sense mail app. I have the. . nomedia file created as well.

Make sure you have a .nomedia file in the folder with the pics. I made a .nomedia file as shown in the attachment, and that picture immediatly got removed from the all downloads section of my gallary. Rebooted and still not there. Deleted the file and it showed back up.

I downloaded another gallery apps and the no media works, however the attachments were still showing from the email app. Maybe the all downloads folder in the gallery is an aggregate of more than just the download folder on the sdcard? Quickpic suits my purposes though.

correct. And if you put .nomedia there and they are in there, it still shows up, which was driving me nuts.

They don't for me. They are hidden when I put a ".nomedia" in there. Make sure you spelled it right and what you used to create it didn't add some kind of extension to it.

Disable CD-ROM Drives?

Anyone figured out how to disable the CD-ROM drives yet other than going into device manager? Thanks.
By removing the iso files from the rom maybe?

I just normally delete the ISO files from the ROM, but I would like to know how to disable them completely.. at least with the ISO's deleted I don't get HTC/Verizon stuff popping up..

/etc/
should be PCTOOLS.iso and CDROM.iso
I found just renaming them (if you can) to PCTOOLS.iso.bak and CDROM.iso.bak is a sufficient way to disable them without having to delete them. Just in case if you ever need them, they are still there and can simply renamed again.
Thanks guys! But ya I'm well aware of the delete the .ISO files being doing that for years. That doesn't keep the CD-ROMs from mounting in windows though it just makes them blank disks. I'm also aware of the following method which doesn't work:
Dial ##7764726
Hit Call
Type Password is 000000
Hit Feature Settings
Choose CD ROM
Click Disable
Hit menu, commit modifications (it will say no item changed)
Back out to home
I think nitsuj17 knows how to do it but I've just about exhausted my resources for all my ROM questions. Maybe I'll post my questions in Chef Central..
Also they don't mount in OSX at all its just a windows thing.
