I have 2 Dropbox accounts and want to easily switch between them on my Android phone.
The stock experience requires that you remove one account from settings > accounts to access the other one.
Is there any apps that allow you to change DB accounts easily? A search of Google Play found lots of hits but nothing to do that function...
Thanks

I haven't tried this yet, but could you have one that shares a folder with the other one? Not sure if it would work, but you could give it a shot....
There are a few file explorers what will let you do this. The one that i like the most is Solid Explorer, but ES File Explorer might let you do it as well.
If you're rooted you can just have the data backed up in titanium for each
Here are some other options

The ES File Explorer method (the 2nd one listed) worked like a charm for me.
I have a Droid Incredible (Original, Rooted), and a Droid Incredible 4G LTE (non-rooted).

Hi, I know this is kind of a weak topic to start but, I haven't been on Android in about 3 years and have really lost track of, and gotten out of the loop in what is going on here.... I still remember alot, and even had .apk's stashed away from having a rooted G1 running CM6 back in the day.... I want to know what file explorer/browser you are using and why... I am currently unemployed and don't really want to spend on a pair file browser but wouldn't mind paying $.99 so post your favorite even if it costs more and tell me why!!!
TIA
it dont matter right now
Just use stock until we get (if we get) bootloader unlocked and sbf. but i have root explorer downloaded it works great you can get into any file you want, but you need to be rooted. Even though right now if you have a x2 there is no reason for a good file explorer there is nothing special to do right now. i bought back in the day when i had a og droid it was very useful back then.
I use root explorer as well it helped me swap my sd card partitions with ease once we had the right file. I just find root explorer to be easier to use its not complicated at least to me.
For the browser I use dolphin hd its free in the market. It works fast has some pretty good features like addons support, slide your finger on the left side of.the screen and you will get your bookmarks. I enjoy using dolphin.hd better then the stock.browser

I use stock for now. Used to switch between Root Explorer and Astro on my Droid. Astro helped me view my sloppy, unorganized SD card with ease.
I always have root explorer for when i need it, but I use astro any other time. Mostly out of habit, a few ROMs I've gone through even came with it, but its also pretty feature rich. My buddy was always using ES, and if i remember right it had some nice features for those that root built in.
Astro works better than the stock file manager, but root explorer really is king in the field.
Always used Estrongs on the stock. ROM. But miui has a decent one pre-installes. It even has an FTP server and used space analyzer. Which is very awesome!

Anyone using Droid Explorer?
Over in the Touch Pro 2 forum, it was mentioned quite heavily and it appears to be working.
Or is this more of a tool for rooted devices?

Pretty sure Droid Explorer is a Windows program that allows you to decompile apps

I use File Expert. It is great for Root access and it also connects to my home pc over wifi for copying files.
Thanks for all the opinions folks... Really appreciate it... Went ahead and spent the money for root explorer as I plan to be on android for a longtime coming now....
I also picked up root explorer and it is definitely worth the money. Android should have had this all along.

Hi guys,
I have been facing this problem fro the day I bought my milestone and still on my razr. I want to buy some apps from Android market which I really like but it does not let me to buy as it says "purchased" when I have not purchased these. I tried to detach those apps frm market thru titanium backup pro but still no help. Pl help guys.. Thanks.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
I believe the app is tied to your google account so it doesn't matter what device you try to access it from, it will always show up as purchased. You'll have to set up a different account and purchase the app through that account in order to re-purchase it or attempt to purchase the app.
If I use other acc to purchase it then my other apps that I have purchased will not b synced with that AC so will make no sense. But thanks for the help. Any other way guys or is it I m the only who is facing this problem.

Those apps registered in market as bought or installed are linked to email account and device IMEI, cleaning data and cache will not erase this registry

What happens when you click on the app? It does not give the option to download?
yesh same thing is happening to me
It happens because you had previously this app installed illegal, I did the same, I wanted to test tapatalk and I downloaded full version from the internet. Now I can't buy tapatalk because Market showing is already bought, I can't download and I can't buy it. It's really sucks cause I don't want to use it illegal.
Yup same thing.. It gives u an option to download but says download failed..

I found solution:
(You need root to do it)
1. Download Market v. 2.3.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028491
2. Uninstall Market updates and clear data and cache. Rename Phonesky.apk (In my RAZR it's the name of market, could be Vending.apk in other ROM's)
3. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and copy Vending2.3.6.apk to /system/app (set permission same as other apk's). Reboot RAZR.
4. Run Android Market and very quick try to buy app of your choice. I had to do it twice because I had force close after a minute, when FC happens clear Android Market data and try again. I had FC during tapatalk downloading, it's no problem I installed it after I restored latest Market.
5. When you finished, delete Vendink2.3.6.apk from /system/app rename Phonesky.ap to Phonesky.apk, reboot and thats it! Now I have tapatalk Purchased
Can't you go to market on your computer (not the phone app) and remove old devices from your list? I remember needing to do this to get, IIRC, google voice to work correctly with my new phone at the time.
I imagine I will have to do the same tonight when the Droid comes in the Fed up truck.
The only ones you should have to repurchase are the ones tied specifically to the phone's id. The others should show up under "my apps" for redownloading.
That's what got me through this situation when I had it before.

I'm having the same issue. In my case I purchased some apps from the Amazon App Store. Now I want to get rid of all the Amazon apps (their app market isn't all that great) and replace them with their Android Market versions.
So this problem can occur without anyone stealing anything, fyi.
ETA: I just checked, and games purchased through the Humble Android Bundle are similarly effected--The Android Market thinks you own them, but will not let you purchase them through the Market. Bummer!
Humble Bundle, GetJar, Amazon...
Any luck guys with fixing this?
I have the same freaking problem with getjar! Will try your market fix.

Hello all
Is there an onboard task manager in this phone that'll allow me to manage content of my SD Card and other things or do I need to download one?
If so, what are some of the best Task Managers available?
Thanks
Task manage or do you mean something like a file explorer? Try estrongs file explorer.

I think he does want a file explorer. Estrongs is good, Astro used to be but it's glitchy and overwhelmed with adds
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Everyone needs to but Root Explorer. It does everything a file explorer needs to and more. You can edit virtually any file and change values without destroying the structure of it. It's the ideal all in one file manager.
Tapatalked from my shiny new HTC Evo LTE
Agreed. There is nothing as good as root explorer. I tried a kinda cool one called Xscope, but it was just too cluttered. Hmm, maybe on a screen like this it'd look cleaner. But yeah, everybody buy root explorer.
And the best task manager is no task manager. Lots of literature about that. Android is the best task manager for Android. (And maybe an init script or build.prop with OOM values modded)
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
Depending on what you want I use es file explorer which has root access and RAM booster for task managing though task managers are the devil

This. The only thing missing currently is streaming from smb, but that's noted in one of the change logs, so I suspect that will be back soon. In the meantime I keep ES Explorer around for that. Otherwise it's functional AND easy on the eyes, a rare combo.

+1 for Solid Explorer
ES anything Solid Explorer can't do.
Here's hoping someone knows, cos getting no response from the devs...
Root Explorer can apparently view network folders... Can anyone tell me how? When I connect via VPN I can't see anyway to navigate past root, nor can I see any menu item to enter a pc name / IP address. Stuck.
If no one knows, then recommendations for file explorers that do would be welcome.
Cheers all :thumbup:

I saw someone do it on youtube with ES file explorer. But I'm sure that you need the IP address of the network each time. So I don't think thats the solution you are looking for.
What about this?

Looks like it works out of the box... not sure as they are just screen shots.
I recommend Solid Explorer. Best file explorer out there.

X-plore File Manager is the best imho. Can do ftp and smb network share, even root access. Best of all it's free.

So can Solid Explorer It does FTP, SFTP, SMB/CIFT/WebDav and other cloud services like Dropbox, Box etc. In yo face!
But Solid Explorer is a paid app though, but you get a 14 day trial. It's totally worth the few bucks though.

Doesn't help though, can't see anyway to connect to network.
Tried and tested "File manager" by Rhythm Software for years now.. It gets the job done in browsing network folders.. (not windows share folders though)
It can also share your device over the network and other droids or PCs can access it.. Has password protection too to prevent unauthorized access over the network..
Press the pluss sign for a new tab, select "Network (SMB) Tab"
Now press "scan" and select the network of your choice.
Was googling for this, found the answer AND what seemed to be a really old unanswered thread on XDA
I really don't know where to start or put this thread into.
But I saw once on a website that there was a programme/apk file that can switch og turn any phone into another phone.
I mean if I have a Samsung S4, the programme can do so that my phone thinks it's, for example, a Motorola X. There are for example some apps in the store that require that you have a Motorola X, and that programme could tell the store that you have a Motorola X when you actually have a Samsung, Nokia, etc.. Please help.
well you can do it manually by editing the build.prop but root access is needed.

I have root access. Where do I find the build.prop file?
I've searched for it but can't find it.
you can find build.prop under /system (/system/build.prop)
if you'll search the play store for "build.prop editor" you can find some tools for modifying it.
