/Semi-offtopic

For anyone interested, I've worked around the 3GB offer of Dropbox (originally for HTC phones, now for everyone :p).

You can take a look -> here.

I've been trying to work around the +48Gb offer but haven't found a way.

Is it still active? Any more details? Someone who already has enabled the 48Gb offer that wants to help us? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] densets:
Well, since sense 4.0 hasnt been realse officialy, i would asume its either active right now or hasn't been activated yet(the promotion)
[Android Apps and Games] chaserblack:
So apparently for the next 30 days anyone with any android device will get the 50 GB. Just log into your account and bam :)
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
May I ask where you saw/read this?

EDIT: Read the change log for the box.net app. Just log on and get 50GB lol

23GB drop box account :D

Edit: Got asked to remove the link
[Android Apps and Games] coolsandie:
Thanks a lot K Dotty !!! ;) ;)

Followed your steps exactly and turned my Samsung Phone into Sony Ericsson, and BINGO! Worked perfectly.

But, had to reboot the phone after editing build.prop, and clear data to get the 50GB
[Android Apps and Games] xpuser:
Its true, I used the APK to get the additional 23GB of space. Lost the space yesterday. Others have reported they have lost the space as well.

Hi can you help me how to use this 50gb cloud which I got with Xperia s? Thanks in adance
[Android Apps and Games] johnnynodough:
I give up, I have been trying all day today and yesterday and have made no headway. Help?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Liquid ICS 1.40 ROM

Should I switch Roms?

My build.prop file shows the changes to either LG or Sony, before and after reboot after editing the file, but Box no likey. Phone Model in About Phone still shows "Galaxy Nexus". I don't know if that makes any difference, but could the phone make/model be pulling from somewhere else?

Thank you!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] ugartina:
it's still working

(im on samsung galaxy sII I9100)
[Android Apps and Games] jenzy1985:
Thanks. Is this 50gb for 2 years or for ever ?
[Android Apps and Games] orangeagent:
Worked perfect! Thanks for sharing this...

i'm having some troubles.i'm using Root Explorer to do the editing but after i click on MENU > SAVE & EXIT, then turn R/W off, when I go back to the build.prop file it'll show as if nothing changed at all. ANy ideas?

As for syncing, Here's an AWESOME syncing program that works with dropbox and box.net. It allows one way or two way syncs and lots of settings, really great. https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en

I haven´t made a Box.net account yet because I prefer Dropbox, and like the smooth integration with Titanium and ESFileExplorer.

Also Box.net have a file size limitation of 25 mb :eek:

But I too could use a Box.net account for more permanent backup of pictures and other tiny sized stuff ... so if somebody is busy creating accounts, I would be pleased if you could make one to me too (I can PM you the needed information e-mail etc.) :)
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
You can use your box.net account with es filemanager too so its hand for multi uploads because the box.net app is not the greatest

I do not have any Apple devices, and I do not want to mess with my prop file, so if you could make me one I'll put you into my evening prayer :rolleyes:

Hi. it works for me, thanks, but I don't know why my Samsung account doesn't work properly.

I had a backup and I replaced with the modified build.prop, nevertheless now my samsung apps says 'no updates' and if I go at my account I don't find assisgned anymore my Galaxys. What happened?
[Android Apps and Games] maatsby:
file size limit for me is 100mb, i haven't paid anything. uploading a rom now :D
[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
100mb...thats just dumb. ics beta is 105mb. ill just use dropbox.
[Android Apps and Games] JDM Civic EG8:

This didn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
I use Root Explorer, navigate to the system folder, mount as r/w, find build.prop, long press and choose "open in text editor", change the values, save and go back, mount r/o, and restart my phone.

When it comes back online, i go and look at the build.prop file and it is back to the stock HTC Desire settings.

Please let me know if i am just doing something retarded and how to do it right. I could really use 50GB of online storage.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I edited mine successfully and box only gave me 5GB
[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
Did you edit yours in the same way that i tried? or did i do something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] leijonasisu:
Thanks! Now I just need a way to upload files with some sort of software or something from Windows kinda like how dropbox gives you...
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
Use build.prop editor, when i tried to edit mine in root explorer it didnt stick.
[Android Apps and Games] K Dotty:
They do have a desktop sync service but you have to pay for it, but i recently found a program called 'Joukuu'. I have yet to test it but im doing my research befor i install it.

Found a way for free, will Update OP ASAP. (Works for MACs too)

[Android Apps and Games] Mittaa:
Otixo have to earn money in some way ... so maby this free account won't stay free for long?

Appstorm made a review where they wrote:

"Otixo is currently completely free while it’s in beta, so you can add all of your accounts and move files around as much as you need without worrying about any limits. They may introduce paid accounts once its out of beta, but that’ll be announced later. For now, it’s free and simple to get started with Otixo."

Why have 50 GB storage where you can only upload 100 MB files? This could be stated in the first post in this topic..

wow, it worked for me too (CM7.1 on HD2).

Does anyone know how to edit the build.prop file on Android 4, because on my Samsung Nexus Prime it seems that the file is locked, i can't edit i eather with build.prop editor or ES File Explorer or Astro.

and its also dont work with

Edit the file on the computer

ADB push c:\build.prop /system/

So something must be diffrent in ICS 4, and my phone i Rooted.

Unethical.

There are probably a few such black hat, unethical hacks on XDA, but it still deserves to be mentioned that this is the reason we will always be in battle against manufacturers and carriers for full control over our devices.
[Android Apps and Games] mcord11758:
How many people who would of never used box are now using box? Increased traffic is a greater opportunity for advertising. I am pretty certain if this "unethical" exploit bothered them they would close the offer down. And what does gaming a cloud storage company for some storage space have to do with HTC or Samsung making a free range device?

Get whatever you can, because believe me the manufacturer will do anything they can to extract every last cent from you

Too right they will screw anyone over for money

Can't get this to work! Edited build.prop like in first post and made account, but only got 5gb. In my build.prop there are a lot of lines with I9000,maybe because of this?! Dont know!

Little guide for those who want to use the Amazon appetite outside the US.

1. Register for an e-mail address or use a throw-away account. DO NOT USE your current email address tied to Amazon because entering fake information is grounds to have your account suspended.

2. Register for a new account on Amazon using the disposable email address. Again, DO NOT use your regular Amazon account or email address.

3. Enter information as if you were based in the U.S. Go to www.fakenamegenerator.com for help in this regard. Enter the name, address, phone number, and credit card number (Amex, Mastercard, Visa ).

4. Download the Amazon App Store APK to your phone. Follow this tutorial for help in getting it on your phone.

5. Browse the Amazon App Store from your phone! You will not be able to access paid apps, but you can at least get the free apps that are exclusive to Amazon.

Original Source:http://www.bitterwallet.com/how-to-use-the-amazon-app-store-in-the-uk/42385

I'm in the uk and this method works fine, you don't need to be rooted or anything and it doesnt require any additional apps :)
