has anyone got the file transfer working, i spoke to Menneisyys and he said that it works for some phones and not others, so i was just wondering if anyone got it working.thanks
works for me
It works for me (Windows XP and WM6.1 from Taxist) in both directions.
I just copied file from XP to my Advantage and from Advantage to XP
do you have spl 1.2 or spl 3.5. thanks for responding
I am using latest taxist's rom. It is for spl 3.5
anyone using this on spl 1.2... is it working for you.
Some additional info about how it works
I made RDP connection from my Advantage to PC running Windows XP SP2.
Run windows explorer on XP and it shows network drive named as “Files on HTC 7501”.
I clicked on it and explorer did not show any files or directories on this network drive !?
I decided to copy some file from local drive on XP PC to “Files on HTC 7501” drive.
Copy started and successfully completed. And explorer shows this file on “Files on HTC 7501”.
I renamed file using explorer and made copy it from “Files on HTC 7501” to local local drive on XP PC.
Copy started and successfully completed.
I terminated RDP client on Advantage and found that the directory with name FILTERS was created in main memory and
file which was just copied from PC is located in this directory. Pls note I did not created directory FILTERS myself.
It was created automatically and it was not shown in explorer on XP PC.
Explorer shows only file copied to “Files on HTC 7501”.
So in my case I am able to copy any file from XP PC only to PPC main memory and these files will be located in directory FILTERS.
If I need copy any file form PPC to XP PC, I need to copy it from any location on PPC to directory FILTERS on PPC.
And after that this file will be visible on XP PC as file located on network drive “Files on HTC 7501”

Hi all,
I have installed some programs on my SD Card that i use regularly. I have manually created all the shortcuts in a separate directory. Now each time i flash a rom i need to copy these shortcuts to programs directory.
Is there any way or program that can place them automatically to the destination directory such as batch file in windows
copy <source> <destination>
I have no idea about mortscript may be it is possible with that.
Thanks
Found this with the help of mortscript
xcopy("\Storage Card\!MyApps\Games\!Links\*.lnk","\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games")

Use Resco explorer or I think total commander can also do the thing easily .
Hi all! Whenever some friends of mine update their Twitter a/c in Hindi Language Fonts, am unable to read them as they show up us empty rectangular boxes. Wasn't Gingerbread 2.3.3 supposed to support Hindi Language Fonts? Anyone knows how to fix this?
I guess I will have to add the Hindi font ttf file in the "fonts" folder in my Root> System folder. I have the droidhindi.ttf file downloaded but I don't know how to copy it to the required folder in root. It does not show sytem files when connected to a Laptop via USB. I can view the folder in Root Explorer on my phone, but how to transport the droidhindi.ttf file to the Fonts folder in the phone??
And will it work if I just add the drop the droidhindi.ttf file in the Fonts folder? Anyone who knows this??
a lot of indians are buying this phone

ok this is what you need to do...
goto systems/fonts and take a backup of DroidSansFallback.ttf
move it to computer/sdcard...but keep it safe...
now move the droidhindi.ttf to systems/fonts
rename droidhindi.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf
restart the browser....by killing it from task manager and relaunching...
go to a hindi site....
@pHyRe7
@woodstock_ahem : Thanks a ton for your response. In a hurry right now, will do as you posted in my first free time. Hope it works
@woodstock_ahem : Ok, got down to acting upon your advice. But the problem is that I can only view the /sdcard directory of my phone when connected to my laptop via USB cable. I cannot access any other space in the phone except the /sdcard.
I can view the root files via the Root Explorer app on my phone, so I tried to Move the DroidSansFallback.ttf from the System>Fonts folder, but when I click on the Move command, I get the message that "You cannot move System Files as they are Read Only". So the problem I'm facing is HOW to transfer the new .ttf file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in System? I can neither transport the new file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in the phone coz that folder is not accessible when connected to the laptop, nor can I move the existing DroidSansFallback.ttf file anywhere else from the Fonts folder on the phone. So what to do now?
Just a piece of info which might be useful for you : My phone has KE8 Kernel, is rooted but reverted back to original kernel to remove the yellow triangle.

To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write) if you keep it at read only you cant alter anything.(its designed as a protection)
On the top R/H conner of root explorer there is a button to set it to R/W or RO.
Hope this helps you.

To add to what @iznee has mentioned....
do the following:-
copy the droidhindi.ttf anywhere in the phone memory(after preferably creating a folder).. this doesnt need root explorer...just a file copy from the laptop should be enough... (you said you can see sdcard folder right ?... copy the file there)
i am guessing so far you have not used root explorer for anything else than browsing system files..else you wont be asking the question...
so first things first you have to provide root access to the root explorer app else you would not be able to provide it with r/w access...
install a free app superuser and give the root access allow to root explorer...
follow what @iznee has mentioned above
then follow what i advised in my first reply to this thread
@Iznee : "To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write)".....this is what I had missed! Thanks a ton, your post was very helpful.
@woodstock_ahem : Thanks, Woody! Once I was able to change the option to r/w......rest was easy. Replaced the .ttf like you said. Now opening some hindi sites to test whether it works. And voila! it works! Thanks again to both of you
But one minor hiccup has occured. I've lost the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file I'll tell you how. I had moved the original file to my sdcard>android folder. The original was a 4.5 MB file but it was showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes. So I thought let me move it to my Data Folder inside the Android folder from where I intended to transport the original file to my laptop, where I thought it would be safer. Till I moved the original file to my Android folder inside sdcard, the file was showing as normal (DroidSansFallback.ttf), but as soon as I moved it from there to my Data folder inside the Android folder it turned into a .nomedia file with 0 bytes! And when I moved it back to the android file it was still showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes.
So does this mean that Samsung is not allowing us to move the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file outside the phone? I hope I will never need the original file as the file I replaced it with is working fine, but just in case I need it......now I don't have the original
Just as you got the droidhindi.ttf from the web you can get the lost file...you would also get it back when you update the next released firmware..or reflash ROM...plenty of ways...no big deal...this would be a learning point for you...

Ya, no big deal that I lost the original as the new one is working fine, so I won't miss the original. But my question was this.......does this mean that we cannot move system files of the phone outside the phone? How did the file change its filetype to .nomedia and its filesize to 0 bytes from 4.5MB?
i had not elaborated on how to copy a file from the phone memory to the computer assuming that is too simple to write about it...
i dont see any problem here...the learning point for you is..always...always create a new folder for taking backups...and not just move a file into a systems library..
this equates to dowloading a music file into c:\windows\system32\data as an example...why not have a separate folder for it..
i have taken a copy of DroidSanFallback.ttf into a new folder created in both Sdcard phone folder as well as into a folder created into external_sd (which is a separate physical sd card)...
can move it back and forth to/from computer without issues...
this will work for any kind of file..any extension...
so there is no issue here...
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. My phone is rooted. When I plug it into the PC, I want to be able to see all the files/folders that I'm able to view when I look through a "root folder app" on my phone.
Is this possible?
Cheers
In the wonderful world of adb, yes.
Sorry , but from standart window explorer you can't see ever folder . There are some differences in permissions and because of your device is linux and pc is windows you can't see everything without adb , but you can install Root Explorer and see it from your device
Guessing ADB mode is the only way of accessing the root files/folders then?
Was hoping to create a java script that extracts the messages.db from one of the root folders.
Edit - Can you only select ADB mode through Eclipse?
Edit 2# - Does ADB mode need to be selected every time you wish to access root files / folders?
Rooted Nexus 6, running the final stock ROM, and TWRP recovery, no problems here.
I have Android File Transfer up and running and it sees my device and I can see the SD/storage folders that AFT allows. No problems here.
I want to transfer a hidden file that you need a root file explorer to find, to my Mac. I have a root file explorer and found the file I want to transfer. I used TWRPs file manager to put it in the "downloads" folder of SDCARD, so I can see it in Android File Transfer. So far so good. No problems here either.
Problem: When I try to drag that file to my desktop, it blocks me and I get an error window saying: "couldn't not replace file" in the top line of and "could not copy file blah blah blah.epub However, when I try to drag other files to from that folder to my desktop, I have no problems. Just these particular ones.
It is a Barnes and Noble Nook e-book file that I dug out of the hidden folders of the app using a root explorer. But something is blocking me from copying it from my phone's SD, downloads folder to my desktop.
Any ideas?
