[General Questions and Answers] ScottRTL:
Does anyone know of an application on android that is similar to dropbox, but not dropbox... Let me explain what I am looking for:

Basically, I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM, and it only has 16 GB of space, so I am trying to keep as much data physically off the phone as possible. For movies/tv I use Plex, music I use google music. But I also want to be able to play games through my various emulators. (SNES,NES,PSX,N64, etc.). As I'm sure you know some of these files can be quite large, (especially the PlayStation ones) and I don't want to keep them on my phone if at all possible.

The problem with dropbox, is that you need to export a file in order to use it, then I would have to delete that file when your done, export another, delete it when done, and so on.

What I am looking for is an app that behaves more like dropbox on PC/Mac. Files are accessible all the time, but in the cloud, maybe the file is pre cached when it is being used, and the cache deleted when it isn't or something... I want the cloud based files to be part of the file system of my phone while I am online.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
dropbox stores everything on the pc. and there is no way other than what you described (export, delete, repeat) because of how the files are stored and accessed within android.

You could try Ubuntu One's file or music app. The music app allows you to stream files form your repository so can probably do the same for other file types. 5GBs come free and 20GB = $39.99 so much cheaper then dropbox. Theres no Mac desktop client yet but windows and of course linux are good to go...

I have tethered via USB many times before, but all of a sudden I it started"verifying" and telling me I needed the tethering mobile plan. Anyone else having this issue or know how to get it back to when my tethering worked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Are you stock or rooted? Its the tethering manager apk that looks for the right plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nixonpjoshua:
Stock + root

Should I uninstall that apk or modify it somehow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
You need to either freeze (Titanium Backup) or delete (Titanium Backup or any file manager, like Root Explorer, that can gain root access) the TetheringManager apk.

If you use a file manager, the apk can be found in /system/apps.

I deleted mine and haven't missed it one bit ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So I've made a couple Nandroid Backups and I am unable to find them in any of my directories. The reason I ask is because I'd like to rename a couple of them before I forget what I was running. I usually use ROM Manager (i know.. this is the only thing i use it for) to rename my backup files. It's just easy that way. RM isn't seeing my recent backups.. I dl'd CWM Manager app and it sees the backups if I go into "restore".. but there is no way to rename them. Also.. when i go into my phones files and into clockworkmod folder.. i still only see a couple old backups.. none of my new ones are anywhere to be found.

So i guess I'm wondering wtf the backups went to, and how do i find them in my directory? Thanks, appreciate any info I get :)

also if someone has a good alternative to ROM Manager for renaming backup files.. I would appreciate that as well, thanks guys! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
I get the option of backing up to either sd or ex_sd. I don't suppose that gotcha?

As far as renaming, I use the ancient method of keeping a separate .txt file with the nandroid name appended with ROM and kernel. I have to edit the text file when I change ROMs or kernels, but all un-appended backups subsequent to the last appended ROM/kernel are still from that preceding combination.

Capiche?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I've haven't gotten the option to where my backups are kept. Regardless I'm still unable to find the backups anywhere I'm my directory.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Backups are in clockworkMod folder. in /sdcard or sdcard/external_sd/ depending on your kernal. the newer kernals have external sdcard as an option.

Strange that you cant find them. Delete the CWM folder and take another backup?

Maybe sdcard is full and backups arent getting saved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It is strange. Both my SD cards have plenty of space. The part that bugs me is that the app CWM Manager see's the backups if I choose restore, but yet I cannot find those files ANYWHERE in my phone. Believe me I've opened my clockworkmod folder countless times hoping to see them. When I boot into recovery and choose restore.. I only see the two new ones... then to get the old backups in recovery I have to choose restore from external SD. So My backups are there on the phone. They are just hiding somewhere and I have no idea where else to look. I'm really just trying to rename them. I know where to find em in recovery if I need to.. but it's bugging me I don't know where to find em in my phone directory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
Have you tried another file manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I've tried using RootExploer as well as the stock file manager app. Even when I plug the phone into my PC via USB and search that way I cannot find the backups. Its driving me mad LOL :p

Not sure it should make too much of a difference but 1 of the two "missing" backups was taken with stock illusion kernel, the other backup I'm missing was taken with the new Siyah kernel 2.6.11.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Backups SHOULD be in:

/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

or

/emmcs/clockworkmod/backup (which is /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup on Samsung firmwares - when in CWM itself it's /emmc, same for CM7)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So.. after days of confusion I found the files.. thanks to everyone for replying. There was another "clockworkmod" folder in my external SD card. I didn't realize that as I kept opening up the first clockworkmod folder I saw... at the very bottom. Below my music, with a couple other zips, was the other clockworkmod folder... same as the one on my SD card- clockworkmod> backup> ..zips!

FINALLY! :D

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Hello.

Since this is the first phone I actually trying learn and modify myself I have no experience with possible side effects and such, however what I've read somewhere else, SystemUI.apk as well as framework-res.apk should NOT cause boot loops or no boot at all.

On Nitro however it does both: first it boot loops then after battery pull it doesn't boot at all, hanging at second LG logo.

Then booting into CWM and replacing SystemUI.apk with the original one does not bring phone back to life, in fact restoring whole system partition doesn't do a damn thing. Only restoring full backup brings it back.

So the question is, what the __ is wrong with this phone?

P.S.

I've tried replacing files with Root Explorer as well with adb push. After any .apk files replaced I do chmod 644 and also chown root.root to make sure.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
V@no, I replaced both those files, if im not mistaken, when I applied the percentage battery mod and no carrier mod, but i never went into boot loops or soft brick. What, if i may ask, were you attempting to do replacing those two files?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Ok, here is my observations so far:

It can boot loop if used any android based software to copy files (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc), unless you somehow manage properly chmod and chown the replaced file, otherwise you'll end up with ridiculous ---rw-r-- permissions (0064 - owner can't read write or execute).

In my tests it's pretty much impossible change chmod on replaced SystemUI.apk because of FC on everything.

Next, when something went wrong and SystemUI.apk that was replaced via adb push didn't work resulting in boot animation loop, it can get to the point, that even restoring unmodified file won't bring the system back. Something happening during that loop that destroys/corrupts other stuff in the data partition. When that happens even restoring system partition doesn't work, only restore data or factory reset can help.

As of what I'm doing with SystemUI.apk, I'm trying figure out why the space in the taskbar where clock is, is not dynamic, when you change to 24H mode it wastes so much space. I already tried use the same data from SU640 rom, it didn't change a thing.

And also trying get the CRT ON effect, which will be a beautiful with already implemented CRT OFF :)
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
LOL! Now I remember you were the one so anal about that extra space by the clock when you convert to 24h setup haha.

Also, what do you mean get the CRT ON effect? I dont understand what that is :D
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but I've been replacing framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk more than once a day on average every day, and have never had a problem while using root explorer with any bootloops/not booting, etc. You should not have any problems at all changing SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk as long as you are properly changing their permissions after you have put them in /system/ but BEFORE you have put them in /system/app and /system/framework, respectively. If you are trying to change permissions "after the file has been replaced" that's too late. It's probably corrupt. Must be changed before.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
You can't change permissions on the file that is not there yet.

The bootloops I'm experiencing is when for example I decompile SystemUI.apk, don't change anything and recompile it back. It worked before but not anymore, and I yet to figure out why. Using apktool v1.4.3

All I could think of is this started happening after I attempted install xUltimate-v2.3.3 to deodex files. It's probably just coincidence though...cause I also tried do recompilling on fresh virtual windows on just unbricked phone files.

It's weird.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
You put the file in /system/ so it IS there. Then you change the permissions. Now that the file has correct permissions, you put it in /system/app or /system/framework and let it overwrite the original, so the INSTANT it replaces the original one it already has the correct permissions. You HAVE to put it into /system/, otherwise you can't change to those permissions, but you need to do it before you overwrite the originals.

Nice, I never thought of that. Thanks!

V@no, I made the same mistake but with the framework-res.apk and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. Were you able to fix the permissions for the file? Or did you have to do a factory reset?

Thanks
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Yes, but I had original file at the same directory just renamed and also I had to re-do root while it was boot looping, sometimes I had to repeat the root process 50 times before it succeeded, like killing half a day.

Sorry, for the cross-posting... but this issue is very important to all of us who care about rooting/modifying our devices. We may soon lose the legal exemption to do that.

TRIED the website but it must be having some issues. Thanks Geek for the heads up. What a freakin joke. Utter and total BS. Imagine if the government tried to tell people that they couldn't modify there car? I'll try to find a better link to the petition.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
Before everyone gets hyped:

It's a little bit complicated. First off, the Federal Government (namely a member of Congress) would have to care enough to push for a law to be passed. Another thing that could happen is that there could be an Agency regulation that specifically prohibits rooting. However for that to happen, they have to authority to be able to enforce it.

As long as you are not reverse engineering, you are not breaking any U.S. law. This exemption that is expiring only clarified a defense to a law that does not exist, meaning that we specifically stated that rooting was not a crime, while there was no law stating that modification was a crime. It is a very vague, legal gray area. It's a lot like gun laws- things are not settled until they are tried in court.

So hopefully it gets renewed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Too late. Getting hyped is a prerequisite for being a member of xda-dev. :eek:

I agree that it is complicated. But, according to EFF:

Some device manufacturers claim that jailbreaking violates Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which carries stiff penalties.​

there is already such a law. Granted, there has not been a court case, yet, testing that law. But it is on the books.

Well, you may wish to read, specifically, about Section 1201 of the DMCA. It is false comfort to think that a law does not exist... it does exist. The wikipedia article on the DMCA has a good discussion. If you are more of a legal geek, then the government provides congressional report 105-796 and a summary on the internet. For information on how institutions of learning can be affected, EDUCAUSE addresses the issue on its site.

The whole point of creating this thread. To help ensure that it is renewed.:D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
This country is already broke (not only financially, but also morally -- but that's an entirely different discussion), how will they go about actually enforcing this law? I know that phone companies can gather a lot of information about your phone remotely, but can they tell whether your phone is rooted or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
I'm not trying to be pompous, so I apologize if I came off like that. I completely agree with you.

They can claim all they want. It's important for everyone to know that if it comes to that, there is no specific law addressing this, only claims under the DMCA.

In my legal opinion, root privileges can hardly be misconstrued as copyright infringement. It's mainly Macintosh that is pushing this though- they claim that jailbreaking is illegal because of the close-source nature of their products (It's also ironic to note that many of the working conditions of their factories would be considered illegal in every country that they sell their products in).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Well macintosh and... recently, ASUS, right? and one other... last summer, but I can't recall who right now.

Let's just say... for sake of argument that carriers sign agreements with manufacturerers (when, in fact, they're different companies)... that require them to deny service to "rooted" devices based on the law... or maybe not the law... but their collective interpretation of the law...

An observation...

I know I responded curtly to your message previously, but I felt the urge to do so again... please pardon the multiples...

Yes, I do realize... Google Android is open source.

Wouldn't is a bit strong... it is true that it may not affect us... none of us can predict the future. If it had not been necessary to make the exemption in 2010, why was it done?

Ok. So it may not have been necessary. Perhaps, it was a precaution. As the EFF states, the area is very gray. No one can assert on either side of the coin with any confidence.

This statement is what made me feel the need to respond. Mature users, like us, need not resort to offending each other. This is a huge problem in many forums... people don't feel that they can speak their mind for fear of being insulted, offended, or verbally assaulted. I simply posted an alert in the forum for those who may not have been aware of the situation.

It would have been sufficient for you (and this is just an observation) to have made the claim that "rooting will become illegal is a false claim... and this is why...". Why the added vitriol?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
More questions...

For me, I am concerned as to why the government's copyright office issued (in 2010) a specific exemption (of the DMCA) for users to root (aka jailbreaking) their devices, for which it is "studying the issue" to let the exemption expire.

If it has never been an issue... why the smoke and mirrors? Why is the government soliciting opinions on the topic? How will this affect subscribers?

To be safe, I'm encouraging everyone to take action. If we presume that no action need be taken, we may lose a privilege. Rights are easily fought. Privileges are more difficult.

And, yes, while it is legal to modify your personal property... that doesn't mean that carriers are obliged to offer service for your modified device.

Manufacturers have already tried blocking modifications (make claims pertaining to the copyright laws)... carriers want a say as well...
