[Q] Torrents downloaded to SD card - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all I have a [LolliPop][Prerooted][23.1.A.1.28][Z2 tablet][SGP511]. I've ran the KK SD FIx. Even tho im now able to download torrents to SD card, but files not appearing in folders.
example... I download a movie into the SD card via "TTorent, Utorrent, Flud" . File size is 1GB, or 3GB. Download is complete and the size is being taken in the SD card. But when opening the folder which has the movie is complete blank. .. tired it with different app, and movies.. all same issue. and I think when I restart my tablet, space that the movie has taken up is now free.
any ideas?

Why should we help you? You're downloading movies illegaly, so simply stop that. Period.

who said anything about downloading movies/videos that are illegal ???
a little advise, hasenbein1966, you should sit this one (thread) out. :victory:

There doesn't need to be said anything explicitly about the movies being illegal, it's obvious, and everyone knows it.

break down...
"There doesn't need to be said anything explicitly about the movies being illegal, it's obvious," - FLASE
FACT- its NOT obvious... Torrenting is not just about downloading movies/video that are illegal... its just being commonly used illegally to share unlicensed data. don't accuse me of doing something illegal without, well, OBVIOUS proof...
"and everyone knows it" - FALSE
you don't speak for everyone... but its OBVIOUS you don't... here's a few links below to educated yourself,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

i'll be more and happy and answer any questions you have

You know it, we all know it. Nuff said.

Answer
No. We download them legally. It's perfectly legal to share something you own.

Come on dude, I've never heard of anyone ever who used torrents to share their movies with themselves, there are just a gazillion better and smarter ways to do it. If you want to share files with a lot of people, sure torrent is the way to go, but privately? Nope, didn't think so

XDA uses torrents in the development databases. Unless there is specific proof of warez, then the discussion is fine.

[Q] Dropbox folder location

OK as we all know dropbox made the decision a while back to move our dropbox folders over to the external sd, personally i find this extremely and increasingly annoying.
I'm wondering if any one knows of a way to circumvent this and have the dropbox folder in the internal sd?
Or does anyone have an older version of the dropbox application that still allowed for the folder to be placed on the internal sd?
I also find this annoying, though it's just a few more clicks in Root Explorer to move things. I wonder if enough of us started emailing the request or tweeting the request they would listen.
I suppose they did this to stop eating internal memory on lower grade phones?
hey its worth a shot,
for me tho those couple clicks get a bit annoying especially when im using dropbox to transfer modded apps to test. (i dont like wires, i know im being knitpicky)

S15274N supposition is probably correct, but considering the new tech it is a kinda lame thing to do.
I also agree if enough of us complain maybe they could provide an option "A or B" where we could choose instead a default to just X

Harmful App(s) in the Market

Hey everybody!
Last time I gave my new s2 to my girlfriend, she installed an strange app from the market called pesoguin sakura dance (free) (should be on top if you search "tamagotchi" - it was surely the last time i handed it over to her haha).
Reading a comment like "damaged my phone" about the app unsettled me a bit and leads me to the question, if an app from the market could damage my/a phone irreparable?
I tested that app with lookout and didn't find anything. If you look on over 260 averaged 4 stars ratings and 50 - 250 000 downloads you shouln't think that there's something wrong. But, as i said, there's that comment; and i heard from another guy that there could be apps, which change the os of a phone.
Am I too careful and there's nothing (with this app) that should upset me or are there apps which do sth without me realizing anything.
Thanks.

Reason being it's a pretty stupid question
Unless the app *gets* (by that I mean, you approve) root access, it ain't screwing anything up...
It's always a good practise to read over the permissions the app requires and ask yourself "Does it really need these?"
Btw... please uninstall Lookout...
hmm..stupid question, ya?
so i heard sth. what you obviously didnt hear, namely that there are definetly malicious apps which get root-access without me approving that.
and please get me in the enjoyment of your knowledge why i shouldnt use lookout

Pretty sure Superuser would pop-up with any request for root access, don't think there is a way around that...
I am against running an Anti-Virus/Malware client on my phone. IMO it's a stupid idea. I don't want to get in an argument, if you want to run Lookout or similar apps, I'm not going to stop you. It's like the 'why use a Task Manager/App-Killer' argument...

i dont think that he has asked a stupid question, asked people if they know of any dangerous apps isnt a bad question. you say su would pop up if it was going to be something bad, but you assume he is rooted
I feel a valid concern has been raised in the OP.
The apps available in the marketplace should be vetted but as we know its not.
after rooting the phone...it more or less becomes like the home PC.
personally i download apps only from big corporations...but i do understand most ppl like to try out new & tempting stuff on their phones...
since i access lots of personal accounts from my phone, i keep away from apps which comes from sources i havent heard before...
ignorance is bliss at times...

I can get round the superuser popup on many phones... So it's not enough to rely on that alone.
I suggest you do run a reliable AV program if you are at all concerned
Btw, few apps are likely to cause serious harm.
If something gets root, in theory it can cause a lot of damage, but normally they aim to quietly install other files without you knowing.
So if you want to start clean, remove and wipe your sd, clear all app data, and reflash the latest rom via odin or kies
If an app had root, it could have modified your system partition, so the reflash matters.
But in theory, someone could delete everything from your phone, or brick it (on some devices), though I am not aware of any such apps
yes there are very dangerous apps in Android Market like this one for example Albanian Keyboard wich is steals all u data like a key logger and no one in there are doing anything to ban or remove that crap

[hack] Bugville by Glu Mobile

Howdy boys and girls! Are you playing Bugville? Want some free coinage? Got a rooted or adb connected device? Then dig on this....
The attached save game file should brighten your day...
Make a copy of your original first, unzip the save.dat file attached and then copy it to your /data/data/com.glu.android.bugville/app_save/ directory.
You'll need root explorer or something similar.
When you run for the first time, it will complain that the download is incomplete. Just select "resume" and then play. You should have around 20 million coins and a couple million acorns.
I havent tested this on any other device and I make no warranties or guarantees other than the one that doing this may screw up your current bugville game.
dont the coins and acorns cost real money... so that would make this warez, no?

I was thinking the same thing. Stealing in-app purchases from a free game really isn't any different than stealing a game that costs money up front.
Yes, one may purchase them. They may also be gotten free.
These are not stolen nor pilfered nor associated with anyone other than myself.
I merely found a cheat button and pumped up my stats. If that is warez, well then I apologize and will delete this post.

.....That's true, you can get them in-game for free. I am kinda conflicted on this one. I think this may be a bit of a grey area.

Totally simple...
In the app-save directory are the game scripts in Lua. One of the startup properties is enableCheats.
After launch, while the game is loading, I saved a change of the property from false to true. The game finishes loading, runs that script and bang, cheat button visible. Go nuts. Lather rinse repeat.
Not looking for anything other than to provide info.
Definitely don't mean to imply you were doing otherwise. I apologize if I came off accusatory. Thanks for sharing .

[Q] movie uploads

Just wondering if it was against policy to start a thread where we could get movies that are already converted for some people on the site. I know that droidappz has a thread. Would be nice to have a devoted thread for just that, pretty sure some people might appreciate it. I have been working on converting.
I guess it's a pushy topic. I know most forum sites are against piracy... I know there was a couple floating around before. Some stuff through the IRC even. I'd like to see it happen. But I guess you need a definite answer. I know you could PM links.

would it be considered piracy if im just doing what the tutorial says? Just would like to make it easier for other e3o users to access some movies but if not im ok with it. thank you
Does anyone know of any freeware that will allow the conversion of DVDs and Video files to 3D side by sides. I have the ability to make mp4 movies from my DVDs but I can't seem to find a free program that will split the video for 3D playback.
Any help??\

Can we start using Torrents to disrto these roms?

I dont know about you guys, but seriously.. all the ad crap associated with the normal download sites is getting ridiculous. Its as easy as a few clicks to make a torrent and we could seed these things at ridiculous speeds.
If there is a reason we are using these other BS sites, that's fine.. I guess I just don't know what that reason might be
Money I would say.

Problem with torrents is versions... everyone would be sharing old versions... Simpler fix would be getting devs sponserships.... A dev could get sponsered by a site like engadget and have a article-like post to display links to the file on engadget. An xda thread would then follow it with links but it would have to link to the article not the file, which could be sketchy with xda rules... Which means beginner devs would be left out unfortunately. But places like file uploading sites cannot watch every upload, so they cannot police the uploads themselves. So little guys will have to pay for server space until recognized, and they get picked up by a sponsor...

I don't know if different versions would be that problematic. Sure, older versions would still be out there, but if a post was created that always contained the latest torrents for the latest roms, then the only people who would be getting old versions would be people leeching from outside of XDA.
I was thinking about keeping an updated copy of all roms, and then creating torrent links, seeded by me for others to DL and share. Of course I will check with the Devs first.
However, the problem with the system now, is even I, an accomplished programmer and highly skilled on the internet, am having problems figuring out at times which link is the correct and real download link. These free share sites are so full of garbage ads and trick links to get you click on everything BUT the actual DL link. Once you have successfully navigated the shark filled waters and obtained your file, it downloads at a snails pace.
It's just an idea, and obviously would need some collaboration and planning to work well for all involved
Would this be on a private tracker? Seems that would be easy for people to add malicious content and upload it then have it spread all over the place if it's not on a private and secure tracker.
I guess the .torrent files could just be posted in the threads as the download links are now to keep people who aren't actively seeking something like this away. I'm just picturing all of this going out on tpb or something and people not having a clue ruining their phones and spreading malicious content. But I guess there's no reason that couldn't be happening already.

there is nothing that prevents some yahoo from coming onto xda, grabbing a file without reading anything, and then bricking his device. the "tracker" would simply be whatever stickied post we have that has the links to the torrents. If I were hosting the torrents links, I would just provide them (the torrent files) via my dropbox. the only people who would even be leeching and seeding would be those people who got the link from that post, which would also link to the roms OP that contains the instructions, should people want/need them.
The only issue with this method is the slow start. I have 5MB up stream, but if 100 people hit that all at the same time, it would slow to a crawl, I would have to limit my seeds to 2 or 3, and speeds would suffer until we had a good base (would only take a few hours). But after that, speeds on the torrent would be plenty fast to support <5 min DL times

True. And there's nothing stopping someone grabbing the file, modifying it with malicious content and uploading it to a public torrent site either. That's why I said it could be already happening.

For torrents to work there has to be a hosting tracker. That's how everyone gets connected, via the tracker that facilitates it all and hosts the original .torrent file. It's not just simply where the .torrent file lives to be downloaded from, it is software that tracks who is trying to connect, who has what pieces of the file, who is requesting them, etc... it's what makes Bitorrent work. Without it no one can connect to each other. So if you simply make a .torrent file and give it to people via dropbox nothing will happen since it's not being hosted on a tracker. If you look at your torrent client when you've got something loaded you'll see there's a column for what tracker it's on. If you try to open a .torrent file that is no longer being hosted on a tracker you will get an error.
There's many sites that have trackers, some public where anyone can download the torrent and some private where you have to be member to download and some even more private where whenever you download the torrent your personal passkey is embedded/added to it so that it is affiliated with your account. Sites that track user's share ratio do that.
So there is the issue of what tracker is to be used on what site? If it's on a public site then that torrent is out there for the whole world with no documentation which is probably not that good of an idea. If it's on a private site then people have to register, in which case perhaps xda or an xda member might want to set up a tracker site just for Android ROMs and such.
There is a way to set up your own tracker but I've never looked into it much so I don't know if the only access is to those who actually have the torrent file or if the file is listed somewhere and available publicly.

The reason torrents are slow when they start is because there is only one person with the entire file. As the pieces flow out to the "100" leechers they will begin sharing with each other. Bitorrent is written so that the original seeder gives out different pieces to different people so that then they can continue sharing amongst each other. So in theory, the original seeder should only have to give out exactly one full copy of the file and the rest of the work is done by the swarm.
As I understand it you shouldn't have to limit your seeds that much, clients are written to know how to handle it, and the more people you give different pieces to the more they can share with each other which is what really gets the speeds going. There's also superseed mode if you are the original seeder, which at this time I can't remember how that makes a difference since it's been a long time since I've used it.
You should, however, cap your upload speed to a little below capacity, although this is usually done to help get better download speeds. Can't explain why off the top of my head but it has to do with keeping the pipeline open for the two way traffic.
This just popped in my head today trying to download some ROMs and things with slow server connections.
I see torrents as only being a good thing assuming enough people are actually seeding the file. Hell, torrent it as a directory with a zip and the instructions in a text file. Also posting it with a version/date would be a good idea too.
Why is this a good thing? Well there is so much illegal content on torrent sites that it would be nice to see it used for other legitimate purposes besides indie albums and Linux ISO files. It's OUR job to try to keep it legitimate.

When you download a file it sends packets, and before it can transmit the next one it has to verify that you actually received the previous one. If the upload is maxed out it can't do that as fast as normal so it retards your download speed.
My advice to everyone is to look at your network traffic upload when downloading a large file, then cap it to just below whatever it's peaking at.
I'm all for the idea of using torrents for ROM downloads. I personally have a NAS holding my downloads, so once seeding I'd have the ROM up 24/7.
I don't like public sites but I'm sure no one in here has an issue with signing up for a free private one. Best solution would be XDA as the tracker so that its all internal, but not sure they'd go for that.

and how exactly would the devs track their downloads? Most devs only continue to release ROMs if there is interest.
This has been talked about before, and the devs are against it. I think less people use torrents than you think.
XDA could use magnet links as the tracker (much as TPB is doing now.)
As far as interest, you can see it in the ROM threads when there are 50 someodd pages for one ROM, and three for another. You could even put in an (opt in) anonymous tracker app that reports usage statistics and/or thank them for the ROM on the original post.
I've always had this idea also and Magnet links would be great. This idea once again popped into my head when I was downloading Newts Senseless ICS that the other guy (forget his name) has been updating. I downloaded it on my phone over wifi and it literallly took about 45 minutes to download because it was capped since I had a free account on the hosting site.
Another great perk of using torrents would be you wouldn't have to wait for the uploader to finish uploading to the site so people can start downloading, and in the rare case the upload screws up everyone doesn't have to wait hours once again for the file to be re-uploaded. Also it's less bandwidth used since there isn't a central server.
So if some users wanted to start this but the devs wanted their own hosting, would the devs get angry at others hosting their ROMs in torrents? I think if we want to test this out it'd be worthwhile. Then if it works well, devs can start if they wish. Worst case scenario we have multiple download sources.
Count me in for trials if someone picks a tracker.

Torrenting != pirating. It's just a file sharing protocol.

Not against, in addition to. If they said "no you can't" then we shouldn't. However if they just didn't want to do it themselves but don't care if we do, then its fine.

I didn't read it that way, especially considering the "intellectual property" bit. Regardless, this sort of setup would work best if the devs were seeding their releases themselves, so there would be no permission issues. The file obviously has to come from them initially, and they'd control what they put out there.
A private tracker would solve 99% of the concerns here, and is a common use case for trackers already. A limited number of users are allowed to post the torrents to the tracker, while all users are allowed to download.
Every time I'm dealing with broken links to megaupload or listening to people complain that uploads to the myriad file hosting services are slow or crapping out in the middle, I wonder yet again why someone hasn't set up a private tracker for rom distribution.
Exactly, and it would also prevent things like this from happening.

This is a perfect example of why these things should have torrents. I had 2.3.5 WebTop on my system but deleted it because it was outdated. I didn't think every other copy on the internet would disappear as well
Oh well, hopefully he learns to keep backups now
