[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GTT1:
I am pretty new to the NC and android experience but I find the file manager loaded with gaaps awkward and seem buggy on my NC running CM7.0.0 from SD card and get quite a few force closes. Maybe with time I would become more proficient.

Is their any app out their that runs as a file manager and also will allow movement of files from PC like Samba.

It would be great if you could just run a file manager and give a password to connect with home PC and grab or place files.

If not what is considered the best "file manager" for normal use? Free first but would consider paid if it did what I want.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jgore43:
es file explorer works well for me. I am able to go onto my computer shares and grab files or put files from my nook onto my computer. You can use it to browse sd card/internal, do buletooth trensfers, lan and ftp
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mooja:
root explorer or bust.

if you only buy one app, get this one.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] barf99:
File Expert - free on market.

I log into my NAS using SAMBA and can copy files directly off the NAS. File Expert installs apps and can also stream media to the nook. Able to watch streaming video directly off the NAS using Rockplayer. Streaming audio off the NAS also works using the stock music player.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] GTT1:
Thanks I am giving it a try.

Tried to connect with my LAN using menu / new / scan but it just scans and doesn't find anything. I wonder if it needs some ok in router settings.

For local on the NC it looks great
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] declain:
Astro File Manager. Free on the Market. Great App!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sassafras_:
ES or Astro are the two most popular.

ES is really your best bet. Here's why:

It's free

It has root explorer capabilities on CM7

It will connect to Samba shares (connect manually, don't scan - scan is slow and buggy)

It works well and is really stable

It lets you install apps, and has built in music and picture viewers so you don't have to play stuff from your library

It's free

Nothing does everything ES does and is also free.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] daemonfly:
I use Astro but find ES works fine as well. For Astro, make sure you download the extra Astro SMB module (in market).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TooSlo:
I bought root explorer back when I first had my g1 and have used it since. Best one out there imo.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] StEVO_M:
Agreed, Best File App out there!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
I agree file expert its great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Taosaur:
I just DLed ES File Explorer, and it's insane how easily it connected to my PC. I have Root Explorer--does it have this functionality?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tbtaf:
Try WiFi explorer, it has some neat options using WiFi only. Not a total replacement for root explorer or file expert, but has its use.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] brucemcl:
You can work the opposite way with Swiftp, which is free on the marketplace:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.swiftp

This allows you to ftp into your Nook from your computer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Taosaur:
I've been really satisfied with ES. It's the best file explorer, best remote access, and oddly enough the best video player on my NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Has anyone tried to install File Station Tablet? It looks great, but only available for Honeycomb. Was wondering if anyone had installed the APK on CM7. App is free, so redistributing the APK should not be an issue.

[HTC Inspire 4G] sreadesjr:
I have a HTC inspire 4 G with a stock rooted rom and I received that there is a system update. So my question is do you go a head and let it do the update or do I have to find a new rooted rom to apply with the update. Also if I let it do the update will that unroot the phone as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stonewallmike:
I'm fairly sure this has been answered, and a quick search would give you your answer, but since I need to get my post count up in order to post in the Dev section, I'll tell you that the update would likely fail, it doesn't run on rooted roms. You can flash the updated stock rom, but that will definitely undo your root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwempa:
What a wonderful way to increase one's post count!!!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenja:
Some App do not run full screen, only if I install spare parts all app run fullscreen. I'm developing an app and need to run FullScreen with or without the Spare Parts intalled. Any hints? thanks in advanced:confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
It's all in how the app is coded. Devs can code apps so that they only run at up to XYZ resolution or they can code them so they take advantage of the entire screen.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
so... here's what i'm thinking.

how about setting up a vmware machine with all the source code for android on it, so that when a new version comes out, you can compile your own rather than waiting and then flash it to your phone. you could add your own modifications and any others that are out there.

this is a win / win situation as you get your own compilation, your own custom build and can screw about with the code it as much as you want as it's on a virtual machine.

you could update the android source code by pulling it online. and because it's a virtual machine, you don't need to worry about compilation issues across different machines.

i'm thinking about doing it - who'd be interested?
[Nexus S General] suksit:
That's what I'm doing. It's FUN but to be honest it's quite a pain in the a$$ when you sync the master branch, compile, flash, and found out that the resulted ROM does not working properly and can't find any information about how to fix it.

BTW, I can hardly find the info on modifications -- most topics here are ready-to-flash ROM releases but no info on development. I did found some useful information in Nexus One forums, though.

Any suggestions on where can we find the resources regarding compilation and modification of AOSP?
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
well, my instincts tell me the modifications are "closed-source", hidden away from you. who knows what sorts of nasties are in the actual rom that's sitting on your phone. logging your every move, grabbing every site you visit, logging everything you type etc.

so, what's needed for a more successful dev community as far as i'm concerned is to allow the users to pick and choose what mods they want. this is an adp after all, and is one of the easiest phones to compile for.

so, if there's an active community compiling their own roms, then mods will perhaps become more open source with diffs / additions to the android source, which in itself will be better for users, developers and heck, who knows who might actually add it to the android source?

as for info for building:

[Galaxy S II General] meds88:
This morning, I see this on my fedex tacking info Clearance delay. It made me a little nervous so I called fedex, askd the lady what this is about, she tells me. So i have to give a description of my Samsung galaxy box so they can identify it, and get its on its way. Good thing I found this early to minimize any more delay I hope?:mad:. Anyways Whats everyones experience with a "Clearance delay"If you have ever run into it . Did it slow everything down, delay your shipping. or not have much effect.
[Galaxy S II General] chizzwhizz:
I also have a clearance delay in Memphis...what information did you provide for the box description? Has your tracking information changed yet?

EDIT: Just called fedex and they said the package is en route to my zip code and will be here at the scheduled time...so I guess its just not updating the tracking information online.
[Galaxy S II General] MAJED.y:
What?!! Did you mean there's no any description for what inside in the Box outside?!

maybe i have to be ready for that!.

Clove or Handtech ?
[Galaxy S II General] clubtech:
Same here. Clearance delay because handtec didn't include customs form on the box.

I called fedex and they said they now have the info they need but the phone wwill only be here tomorrow instead of today. LAME.
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadsteel:
I also have a clearance delay but I call fedex and the automated system said that it was on it's way to the shipping facility that delivers to my zip code. My online tracking still says clearance delay though.

How accurate is Fedex's phone automatic system?

Did you talk to a representative or the automated system?
[Galaxy S II General] chizzwhizz:
Just talked to a rep. They said it was delayed in customs so I gave them some information and they said they would call back to let me know the package is on its way...So in response to your question, the automated system is not accurate.
[Galaxy S II General] meds88:
OK. I had to fill out some forums that Fed ex emailed to me, then scan them and send them back! What a pain. Now i will be getting the package tomorrow rather then today. Booooooooooooooooooo :( anyways If you have a sg2 come check your tracking often so you dont have to wate any longer then u have allready
[Galaxy S II General] clubtech:
Funny when i called FedEx they said they received the forms needed from the SHIPPER (handtec) and dint ask me to fill out any form.

They said they hope it will get released today for tomorrow's shipping.

I can't believe handtec does not know they need to fill out customs forms when shipping internationally.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I use to work for fedex express. Putting a description on the outside would be a bad idea. People would help themselves to a five finger discount.
[Galaxy S II General] smartbot:
I submitted the forms, but the tracking page status still shows "clearance delay". Did anyone have their status updated?

I'm hoping I can at least get the phone tomorrow... With all this hassle it almost makes me regret buying this phone from abroad (especially since it looks like the official US version may be shipping this month or next).
[Galaxy S II General] tublah:
Mine is the same way. I verified all paperwork this morning around 10AM CST. I suspect they will all get approved in a batch. Not to worry, we'll be playing with our shiny new toys tomorrow! :)

Edit: I just got the following reply from the Customs Agent with FedEx when I asked why the status hadn't changed at all.

The package status will not change until early tomorrow morning. You can check the website in the morning to see if it is out for delivery.
[Galaxy S II General] smartbot:
My status just got updated to Int'l shipment release. Finally some good news today! :)
[Galaxy S II General] tublah:
Yep. Mine too! Hooray for having the GSII in our hot little hands tomorrow!!
[Galaxy S II General] meds88:
Dang, I was suposed to get my today, then delay to tomorrow. now its looking like the next day after ;( WHY ME
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadsteel:
Mine has also changed from clearance delay to Int'l shipment release. I hope they will ship it out tonight.

I called a rep about this and she told me that fedex has overnight delivery on this shipment so *cross fingers*
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
i may have helped you all.. my agent stated they didnt have the fcc release forms from handtec so i found the fcc id picture. and the online fcc form filed them out this morning and emailed scans in to fedex to the specific release agent.. called later and they said they now had all the paperwork they need.
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadsteel:
great news!!!

Package status just changed to " Departed Fedex Location Memphis,TN"

Looks like overnight delivery is a go...I just hope its by plane haha
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Well so much for getting my phone tomorrow...

It's saying there is a Clearance delay on mine too, and I got an email saying a Telecom form is required. I called fexed and asked if I needed to fill out a form, and they said the sender did..

Now I'll probably have to wait a week. DAMNIT.
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
What number did you guys call? Or how did you contact a specific agent?

I'd rather fill out the form itself than wait for Handtec. Where can I get the form?
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
fcc id

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1429686

fcc form on this page with download link

http://www.canadacustomer.fedex.com/ca_english/customsguide/fcc.html
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Cool thanks. The first link gives me a "You are not authorized to access this page."

And I notice that the second link is for Canada (I'm in the US). Is it the same document for the US too?

Who are you sending it to exactly? Did you have to call and get someones email?
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Also can I ask how you filled yours out?

Or see a copy of the one you filled out

I don't really understand the first row of boxes
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Same problem here. Fedex held package in Memphis for 3 days. Said some bs about FCC hasn't approved it yet. Just be patient.
[Galaxy S II General] FishTaco:
In another thread, someone put a copy of the completed FCC form (link).

There are also several postings before and after that message discussing the process.
[Galaxy S II General] tublah:
Yep. That was me who posted that. Basically I called FedEx International (the phone # is in that thread, I believe) and gave them the tracking # -- they gave me the name and phone # of the Customs Broker -- she then told me what was missing (the FCC form). I filled it out, emailed it back and it was delivered the next day. Handtec said the FCC form, etc. were in the box when it shipped...they weren't sure what happened.

Hopefully that helps. If nothing else, contact the shipper and tell them to get in touch with FedEx to supply whatever documentation is missing. The phone is most certainly approved by the FCC. Both in February and a few days ago again (1Ghz vs. 1.2Ghz I believe).

PM or reply back if you have any questions and i'll see what I can do.
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
So you didn't need the Entry Number or Port of Entry?

I called the International number and a lady told me she didn't know what form I needed but would have someone call me tomorrow morning about it. Probably because it's Sunday and there was no one available to help with the particular problem.

I guess you need to be lucky to get someone on the phone who knows what they're doing and can actually help.

Wish I could just find out who to email the form to
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
for entry number i used the fed ex tracking number for port.. i used the port where it is held up in customs.. in my cse memphis.. i believe..

state purpose is that you are a developer testing the phone in case they try to charge you fees like an importer.
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadsteel:
Here is the contact info of the really nice lady who helped me with my clearance delay issue. She emailed me the form, filled out the parts of the form that I didn't know how to, and got the package cleared on the same day it was delayed. I was able to get my phone the next day.

[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
I ended up faxing it to them and they said it would be here tomorrow.

But hours later the tracking stil says it's delayed... Did yours do that?
[Galaxy S II General] Dreadsteel:
After I emailed them the form it took 5 hours until I saw it was cleared. Before that though I was able to see the form under the clearance link on the fedex tracking site. I got my phone the next day so fedex for sure will do over night shipping for these express packages
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
Cool thanks. Didn't think it woud take that long for the tracking to clear...

Ok so I got a computer from my uncle, yet it will not work. I have 3 ide, which 2 are eide. Those for some reason will not allow me to connect any hdd or cd drive. I have 3 hard drives and 3 cd drives. 2 hdd are idea and the other is sata. all the cd drives are ide. Please give me full instructions as to how to set this up. I know a lot about this stuff, but I can't figure this out so no dumb replies like check the jumpers. I know that. I already checked cables and upgraded the bios. The motherboard is an asus p5wd2 premium. Thanks.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Check the BIOS settings if you don't have the HDs set up in RAID by any chance.
[Off-topic] goob1284:
done. the sata is set up to be a standard ide
[Off-topic] jaszek:
hmmm...I know you said no stupid responses, but I once spent $200 when the problem was just a cable. Have the 2 CD drives connected with one IDE cable in cable select mode, then the two IDE HDs also in Cable select, and the SATA on the separate cable.

Also, are there any error messages coming up when booting or something?
[Off-topic] goob1284:
I tried every jumper wetting within reason. I called asus and they said eide is for external ide or something like that. Whicjlh makes no sense. And im getting primary master doesn't not support Atahi or something like that
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Have you tried with just one hard disk at a time? You need to isolate the problem first, and my years of experience tells me that once you've figured out which one is the broken link, then solve the problem one at a time.

Also reset your BIOS just in case.

Jumper settings for IDE is very fickle. Leave it on cable select for maximum compatibility.
[Off-topic] goob1284:
Alright. i found out i have a bad hdd (click of death or whatever) now i connected a hdd and a cd rom drive in the eide ports. the hdd is on primary, and the cd is on secondary eide. now this is where im getting pissed off at. When i go to hit f8 and i get to pick the boot device, everything shows up. reset the computer press delete to get the bios. OH! BUT WAIT! nothing is detected! go to boot settings and select the boot order... guess what... EVERYTHING is being read. like seriously WTF?! i am so angry why cant one part of the bios see the drives but not the other?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Try using different cables for primary and secondary. Put the pins back to default/cable select for the drives. Test out each drive and make sure that they work first.

[Off-topic] goob1284:
no duh. i know my drives work. cause if i put them on the ide primary connection on the motherboard they are all seen. but when i put them in the eide primary and secondary connection they are not found at least not completely like mentioned before.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Try putting everything in the secondary port. There might be a problem with the port.

If the secondary port works, then there is something wrong with your motherboard.
[Off-topic] goob1284:
I tried that. I hate this thing right now its being such a pain in the ass. My uncle said to try installing windows via the primary and then put it in the ite ide
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Hmmm...

1. Does the BIOS sees all your drives?

2. Re-installing XP after that will help if #1's answer is yes.
[Off-topic] goob1284:
Im gonna try to install 7 but putting it in the ite ide slot. I set it as a slave and my cd as a master.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
That'll work. I used that setup last time I was still using IDE hard disks... Of course, now I'm on SATA ;)
[Off-topic] goob1284:
Is sata a lot better? Is it really that much better?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
1. Less troublesome

2. Faster

3. You can put more than 4 devices.

Time to change?
[Off-topic] goob1284:
Probably. If I ding get this soon I might just di that... but it can't even handle my current sata drive. It hangs at the post when I connect it. Btw thanks for all your help!
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Hmmm... tried hard-reseting your mobo?
[Off-topic] goob1284:
how do you do that? is that when you switch the cmos jumper? if thats what its called? ya i did that bunch of times.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Try removing the CMOS battery from the motherboard and unplugging the power for a minute of two.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Yes. What jaszek says works too.

If the resets aren't working, there probably is a port conflict of some sort in the mobo itself.

Most entry level mobos aren't that well made, especially since the manufacturers don't expect full usage of all ports. If it's under warranty, send it back. Otherwise, you might wanna get a new mobo.
[Captivate General] TazMan1688:
Good Afternoon,

I've been using a Samsung Captivate on At&t for about a year now. For the last 3 months or so I haven't been able to call my gf without multiple reboots. What happens is I will dial her number, and there is no sound as if my phone is dialing out, or connecting. It does say "calling", and then the green turns green as if I am connected to her. All I hear at that point is my own echo.

I've been running Cognition, Serendipity, and now GR9 & GR10. I'm not sure if this is the cause...but I highly doubt it.

If I put my SIM into my Samsung Focus, everything is peachy. If I call anyone besides her on my captivate, it seems to be OK(not that I make a ton of other phone calls)

Please help!!!!
[Captivate General] studacris:
Maybe your phone is telling you that you should break up? jk ;p

have you tried deleting her contact and adding it back? Idk just a thought, might not work but it won't hurt to try.
[Captivate General] TazMan1688:
lmao

Let me give that a shot. My contacts are stored only to google, and not to my phone. Not sure if that matters either
