Is anyone aware of a search application that's good excellent for local files?
I'm aware that there are some file managers that will do this, and even the google app will find some things. But I'm looking for something that leverages root to search absolutely anywhere on the phone by filename/date/size/other attributes. Looking for conciseness over speed.
Can be a file browser, but doesn't have to be.
I also take an explanation of why such a thing doesn't yet exist!

Hi,
I would like to automate the following task on my Android 2.1 device (Nook Simple Touch):
1. Once a week go a website (in an invisible browser in the background)
2. Type user name and password in a form on that site
3. Wait until you get forwarded by the website
4. Click on a download link and save the file to a certain location on the sdcard.
Is there any easy way to do this without having to write a full application?
I tried googling but it is one of those cases where it is not really clear what to search for. I found the Android scripting engine, but this seems as complicated as making a full app.
If any of you have an idea I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

EDIT: In case anyone is interested: A newspaper I have a subscription to is publishing an epub version of their newspaper every week. I would like to automatically save this epub file to my Nook Simple Touch.
i tried to look for an answer for you.
I dont think this is possible, without writing a special app for that.
please tell us (if you can), the name of the magazine, maybe it can help!
I suggest you look into Tasker. It can automate a lot of stuff... and, just maybe, do what you want. I don't know enough to say it can or not.
I would get information from the gurus, first. You can find discussion groups through the developer's site. If it sounds possible (and/or someone provides you with a template), then you can try the trial version to see if it works.
With the recent update to Google Search for Android you can no longer disable web searches. Every time you use the universal search on the phone you must wait for the web results to return and they are listed before the apps. For people who primarily use the search functionality for accessing apps this poses difficulty.
What is the best way around this? At present I've just been using an older version of the Google Search apk. Is the best way around this hacking the current Google Search apk to just have a different package name and use that from now on? Does anyone know if there is a hack to disable web searches in the new Google Search with integrated Google Now?
Also posted a poll along with this to see if other people find this intentional exclusion of web search options annoying. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I doubt that I'm the first one to think about this but I couldn't find anything useful trying to search for it, so here is what I'm looking for:
Is there an app that I can use to share a number of apps I installed on a webpage including QR-codes, GPlay-links, short descriptions etc.? The apps I know of mostly share text only and/or links but none I found allow me to generate a webpage (or use a site for this) which has all the info in a neat, organized way so that my friends can read the descriptions and decide which apps to download from there.
AppBrain's API has an app widget that would be somewhat fitting but 1) there is no app to automatically create those based on a list of apps on your phone and 2) it requires people to use AppBrain, which some people don't like.
Basically, I'd like to have it created automatically and look like the ones used by Android Police (but with links to Play-Store only and no need for ratings)
Anyone know an app like that?
TIA

Since I got no replies, I went ahead and put together a crude PHP script to convert a list containing Market/Play-links to a webpage and to host that list on PasteHTML.com in case you want to share it with someone (since I don't have the hosting for that). If you are interested, you can check it out here (sorry if it's slow, it's running on my home server). I'm still looking for an app that could do this though but for now this is better than nothing
Hi ,
Does anyone know of an app that i can use to monitor exactly what another application does, what it searches and what file systems it looks at etc.
The reason being is that SkyGo wont run on my phone no matter what i do. Therefore i would like to figure out the exact file systems, permissions it looks at to identify root.
Thanks in advance.
What you're looking for is an application debugger. However these tools are really not easy to use and require a lot of patience, learning and will to get any results from scratch.
Hey all! So I've been looking all over forums and the internet searching for an app that similarly functions to the app/website for the wearedata ad campaign made by ubisoft for watchdogs. However, I can't find any apps that do the same or similar!
What I'm looking for is an app that aggregates all social media posts and places them on a map (simlarly to what the wearedata website does) although differently to that have it so that you can look anywhere on the rather than being limited. Anyone know an app that can do this?
Just find it interesting and I like nose'ing around xD
