need help with Google Drive - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have some pictures and an audio book (in mp3 format) on Google drive that I would like to download to my phone (Galaxy S4). I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I am new to both drive and the Galaxy S4.
Please help.

Can you see the files in the drive app? If so, long press should bring up a menu where download is a choice.

I found that only downloads the files. I really want to download a whole directory of files with 56 files in it. Sucks if I have to download 56 files one at a time.

True. Never even though about whole directories. My gut tells me there ought to, as the saying goes, be an app for that.

ES File Explorer, I'll install it and give a try.

Astro file manager can help you too. Just multiselect all the files and copy

Ok, found a way. Use Astro to browse the files in the "Litening Wallpaper" .apk file. You can than copy the wallpaper file you want onto your SD card. It should appear in your gallery, like every other picture.

For some reason, I don't see those hidden/protected folders though I'm rooted.
/system/app/litening_wallpapers.apk
Than browse files, the images are in /res/drawable-hdpi-v4.

Tapatalk is free today on getjar!!!

That's right friends, if you've been holding out on the Tapatalk app to become free somewhere, you're in luck. Today (I'm not sure and I think today only), Tapatalk is free.
This will allow the users of the free xda many new features, browsing multiple forums, and all free (p.s. you can thank people with this version)
Sadly, it requires you to download the getjar market app to install, but thats just a minute long irratation, nothing major. So for all those who want it, get it now!!

You can get it here http://www.getjar.com/mobile/237628...m3c61g4pehi357oa&c=gmtpo36cl7chntca13&lang=en
It's been a while since I've used getjar but I believe you need the getjar app to actually download.
Just downloaded Tapatalk (thanks for the heads up) and I must say, having your xda, sdx, mikmik, n Android central forums all in one place is awesome.

Yep, I'm loving that too, yay for free apps. I was waiting for this free somewhere. I didn't want to steal, so I just used the xda free instead. But now I feel a little bad. Xda was getting monthly revenue for server upkeep and now that I got this free, no one is getting the money they deserve. When I get some more money, I might buy this to support the dev.

You don't need to save the download.. You can back it up with an app like Titanium Backup or send the apk to your dropbox..
Not very familiar with dropbox, little bit more info would help. Thanks in advance

You have two options, 1. titanium backup, which stores the app and all its data on the sdcard for immediate restore. What crump told you to do was to make this backup and place it on dropbox. Dropbox is a free (for 2gb, upgradeable with offers to 8gb) file hosting server. It works as a folder in windows, linux, mac, that you can drag and drop files to and have them synced to any of these devices at once. Great for vacation files, and keeping track of important files (like the tapatalk backup for instance) If you want to try this out, sign up with this: http://db.tt/8SjkWkMO (if you use this, give both me and you an extra 250 mb to our accounts free )
2. Use a backup app (such as astro file manager) the advantage to this method is you can install this file again without root, the downside is you don't keep your data, just the app itself, so you'd have to login everytime you changed roms. But again, no need for root, like if you upgrade to an unrootable device. This backup can also be stored on dropbox if you so choose.
Hope this helps

Yeah, if you soon up with that link, you'll get 2.25 gb instead of 2 gb free and it'll give me an extra 250 mb.
And for your earlier problem, did you download the getjar market apk, then install Tapatalk with that? You can only get those getjar gold apps (that's what the apps are free through) for free with the getjar market apk.

Yeah, google won't put alternate markets in theirs for download. Makes it harder for their competion to get noticed. You have to get the apk from getjar. Just select tapatalk from their website and when you try and download it, it makes you download the getjar apk first. Then you can use that to get tapatalk with.

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.

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.

[Q] Jelly Beansv7 ad blocking

Been running Jelly Beans since v1 but since I just now registered I can't yet post in a development thread. I was wondering if anyone knew how to temporarily disable ad blocking for the purpose of using the Medscape app. Thanks for any help or direction.
Ad blocking is usually done via the hosts file. You could try replacing his hosts file with a stock one.

Ant idea what folder I might find those in? It's tough to spend a lot of time searching since I'm a nurse working 12 hour shifts and can't use my phone on the floor.
Are you a Murse? That's awesome. Here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adaway
Download this and apply ad blocking (I know, I know) then disable it from the same app. Idea is, replace beans host file with this one, then disable it. Not sure if this app would know beans host file. Anyways, that's what I'd do. Reboot afterwards.

Guidance needed! Root P769 V20D

Okay I've come to conclusion of rooting my phone so I can in install CyanogenMod 10.1. BUT I need your guy's help during the process. Here's some questions I need to ask.
On Q9, what does it mean to add lines on "hosts" file? Do you just rename the hosts file and add lines something like this? "_hosts_"
And for Q10, telling me to follow steps to 3 to 10. Does it mean I have to do it all over again? ..

Now click the FILE tab (at the top left corner) and select open
Now got to window/system32/drivers/etc
Once inside the area, everything will be blank. At the bottom click the text .txt, it should give you an option to show all , click it
Then you see the host file. Double click on it , then add those two line at the bottom inside (the host file)
Lol, this is only the beginning. But everyone must start somewhere

No, if it's your only phone. I don't recommend it. I lot of stuff can go wrong and, if you have to install the fastboot driver and etc.
Think of it like this, changing the host file is like a grain of sand, BUT installing the omap drive and flashing in fastboot (if something goes wrong) is a huge BOULDER. get my point. Master this first and do a lot more reading before doing anything else. Look at all the threads in the help section. Several things can go wrong, and you have to be prepared for all of them. :sly:
