To the Game players, when trying to run games on a BETA rom, I would suggest 2 things.

1. Stay with HC 3.2.x

2. Solve your game issues

Big dogs play the field. Little puppies stay home...
[Acer Iconia A500] ecossais:
Tried with TI 4.8.1.1 with no change in performance. Still hangs on both backup and restore in batch mode. Was able to backup a single app with data. Civato says he has solved the TI problem in R6 so I will just wait for R6.
[Acer Iconia A500] Drewwilliams2011:
Unfortunately a lot of apps out were built for Froy/GB and ported over to HC which did not support a lot of previous apps, so sadly, devs have to port apps over again to ICS and rework some things to get it all up and working again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
This looks like a lawsuit just waiting to happen, but its out there if you want it.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthieup:
just need to port it to HC or does it just work?

why would it be limited to GB?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have not tried it but most likely it won't work on HC the audio libs and routing are different between GB and HC. I'd say of you want it get it fast. If I were HTC I'd be on these guys like stink after paying $300mil for the Beats licence.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
As I understand it, this mod will give you some of the Beats effect.

Quote “hello i created a zip i pulled the beats audio libs and bin files from a rom with beats audio and also added the xloud files to make it sound with better quality and also in some cases sounds even louder i have beats audio headphones and i was able to tell the difference try it out and let me know thanks “

I don’t think you can get full Beats without a kernel rewrite.

Here is a quote from someone who did incorporate the beats driver into a kernel for another device

“ I run warm rom 3.5 build 116 with my kernel... My kernel compared to the rezound on a spectrum analyzer is way better than the stock rezound in frequency response, snl levels, frequency range, distortion, and power output. My rezound kernel per user feed back on xda makes the stock kernel sound like crap :)”

I have full Beats Audio on my HTC Evo 4G Phone and it required rom software and a custom kernel.

Just read this seems as HTC has opened up beats audio

http://blog.htc.com/2012/03/new-apis/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
HTC opened their APIs so people could write apps to use Sense and other HTC Libs on HTC devices, not so people could steal their libs to put on other devices.

HTC bought and owns the rights to the Beats audio libs.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayochs:
so won't work with HC? ugh. i want beats for HC bc i sit in bed listening to music through my rezound and using my view lol
[Android Apps and Games] joschi70:
The app I would like to present is called X-Link and is intended to make file transfers between devices (Android or PC) easy.

It's using multicasts to find other clients within the same WiFi network.

So no setup ist needed.

In addition to the Android app there is also a Java based PC client available.

This client has been tested on Linux and Windows but might work on other configurations.

The full description and a short video can be found on the Android Market page:

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.fun2code.android.xlink

You can not only transfer files between PC and Android but also between Android devices.

This is beta software, so there are still bugs.

Please report them in this thread. I'll have a look as soon as I find time and will contact some of you to get things fixed.

There are surely some timing (and timeout) problems which need some attention.

Make sure your router supports multicasts.

Please post comments, I'll try to read them all :)

Link to PC client

http://www.fun2code.de/downloads/xlink/XLinkClient.jar

Copying of directories

Supported since 0.8.4 beta.

Testing and how you can help

Multicast test

To test if your network is able to deal with multicast messages you can do the following test:

1. Download the file MulticastSender.jar and MulticastReceiver.jar.

2. On one PC start the MulticastSender.jar and on another the MulticastReceiver.jar.

The sender sends screenshots. If you see the screenshots on the receiver's side, multicasts are working for you.

If not, X-Link will not work.

If this works but X-Link doesn't it's likely that there is a problem concerning timeouts within X-Link.

In this case, please send me a mail (xlink [at] fun2code.de).

If sharing on Android does not work

Sharing does not seem to be working in some apps.

If you encounter such a problem, please download the app XLinkDebug.apk and install it.

Use sharing as you normally would with X-Link but select X-Link Debug instead.

On execution the app will copy the information needed for me to fix the issue to the clipboard.

Please paste the clipboard into a mail ans send it to the following address: xlink [at] fun2code.de
[Android Apps and Games] firoz3321:
installed both the client and app on my Nexus One (CM7)

PC client doesnot detect my Mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] PoorCollegeGuy:
Was your phone on a WiFi network?
[Android Apps and Games] firoz3321:
obviously, yes it is
[Android Apps and Games] joschi70:
The devices have to be connected to the same WiFi network and the network has to support multicasts (which usually should be the case).

If you are on a weak WiFi signal it might take more than one try to find other devices.

My test devices are:

Galaxy Nexus, Nexus One and Notion Ink Adam
[Android Apps and Games] firoz3321:
i really do not have knowledge about the Multicast thing, but my Wifi Signal is good. And i used SAMBA and other wifi file sharing apps and they all worked using the same wifi.

And clicked RELOAD many times but i cant see any device in the popdown menu..
[Android Apps and Games] joschi70:
Hm ... so this seems not to work on your network :(

Multicast is different from TCP connections, so this can't be compared.
[Android Apps and Games] superduperben:
Wow, it actually worked in HTC Desire!! Great app!! Now I can transfer files w/o any cables!! Need sometime to allow 2 devices to connect though..
[Android Apps and Games] timbck2:
I don't know anything about Multicast, but my Mac is on the same Wifi network as my Galaxy Nexus, and the Mac couldn't see the Nexus. I tried "Reload" several times.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolBone:
Works on Windows 7 64-bit and a Galaxy Nexus. Cool app, really like it!

My only suggestions would either be to get rid of the menu and put it all in the "drag file here" area, or maybe some slightly simpler graphics. They come off a little cheesy.

Other than that, it works well.

Next steps would be to keep app closed, but still have access to dropping files. Root access? I'm not sure how it would work.
[Android Apps and Games] cbinvb:
App and client work seamlessly with windows 7 and tmo sgsII.

Only thing I notice is inability to share pics directly from my phone's gallery. I use my file explorer and it works fine.

Amazing work. Coffee money on the way
[Android Apps and Games] Zer0_Cool:
So this is like airdroid but rather than the file browser/tools being built into the web address there's a desktop client?

Hello There,

Using Windows8, DHD and TF101. My PC had no problem seeing the items on my network Alas, every time I tried to swap a file over I just kept getting a pop message telling me there was an upload error. Thanks.

Pity because it was something I had been looking for :-(
[Android Apps and Games] chicotunner07:
Worked perfectly on Macbook running Lion and galaxy nexus

awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] kitsune_snake:
amazing app and super simple to use/set up, great stuff dude =D
[Android Apps and Games] Nieylana:
Make sure you have x-link at the front of your screen (on your phone) seems it disappears after being inactive and you'll get the upload error problem. I am of course speaking from experience as I just fought with that, bringing x-link back to the front seemed to solve it.
[Android Apps and Games] joschi70:
Thanks to all of you for testing!

The X-Link app has to be active on the Android device to be visible to others and for the transfer to work.

If you close the app during data transfer, the transfer will break.

I'm glad that it worked for some of you. I'll do some debugging next week.

Hope things will improve...
[Android Apps and Games] joschi70:
For does of you having problems seeing other devices.

You can do the following test.

Run the PC client from console: java -jar XLinkClient.jar

Then try to detect you PC from the Android device.

You should see an output similar to this on the console:

Connecting: 192.168.0.198/4500

If an Exception occurs there was a problem when connecting back to the Android device.

If no output is visible, it's likely that multicasts are not working within your network.
[Android Apps and Games] BenSWoodruff:
Might help newer users who want to try out your app if you put a download link on your web site or here in this thread. I found your app through xda article and didn't realize that I had to type the link out verbatim with 'XLinkClient.jar' having correct capitalization lol. Took me a minute to figure out, so newer people might just give up without trying it. Just fyi ;-)

Great app, thanks for your work! Working on Mac running Lion and Droid 3.

Working great on Windows 8 Consumer preview and LG Optimus 2X. If i had a job right now, i would send you money for a beer, but i dont have a job at the moment, so a cant. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Montemuscle1970:
Mine didn't get detected right away either. I left the PC client open, as well as the phone app. Then I accessed my routers setup through my web browser, just looking for some options for multicast, and I noticed that the PC client had my phone in the list. I don't know if it just needed some time, or if it was from accessing the routers settings, but give that a shot.

I'm running a linkysys E4200, win 7 ultimate x64, and an HTC inspire running AR 7.0.2.

The router may have multicast disabled also. Google your router for it.

Problems...

This is a great concept, but it's not working for me.

Computer: Running Ubuntu 11, Xfce, Latest Java from SUN

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (CM9-ICS)

* Phone Application installed OK, running

* Computer Application installed OK, runs ok with 'java -jar <file>'

* Device detection does not work. I've tried to many things to even list...

- I'm getting 'Connecting: 10.0.0.106/4501' in the console output

* Dragging files from Xfce's Thunar (File Manager) into Client does nothing (maybe because there is no connection)
[Android Apps and Games] beltsnspoons:
do you think the problem might be cm9/ics? im afraid to even bother installing it because so many apps arent compatible with cm9 yet. looks like a great concept, and something i would definitely be interested in, espicially since i spend so much time copying files across multiple devices. if it works well i would even suggest it to alot of my clients. maybe when i get home from philly and recover from the shamrock shuttle hangover, ill give it a try. but if anyone knows of any combatability issues with cm9, let us know!

To send files from your Android device to the PC use the Android share functionality.

Windows 8 64bit

First I tried my HTC Vision (CM7.2)....rather than try something easy, I started off by trying to move a nandroid file with 6 different IMG's inside that folder and it did not work. I didnt expect that to -- I zipped the nandroid folder and then it worked -- so for me the file must be one single unit.

While waiting for the nandroid to pass over to the Vision I got it going on my HTC Dream (SuperF) and tried to provoke multiple instances of the program -- it would not let me -- So after the Vision was done I transferred a zipped Bart backup to the Dream.

Then I tried my Kindle Fire running CM9 hashcode and it would the laptop would not see the Fire at all nor could the Dream or Vision see the Fire or vice versa. Fire was shut out. and it was on the same wifi network. However the Dream and Vision when they get connected, theres a popup advertisement that appears to indicate a connection -- I never saw that advertisement on the Kindle Fire. Perhaps its hardware accelleration issue? Well, that was neat --- and definitely a needed tool,

I suggest making this as promiscuous as possible and to allow for multiple instances to occur at once. (This app does not need explanation or any video tutorials, its about as simple as going potty.)

Works great between WinXP and EVO 4G (running Legacy Classic), WinXP and DroidX (stock), OpenSUSE and EVO 4G, OpenSUSE and DroidX, Win7 and EVO 4G, and Win7 and DroidX.

However, I can't figure out how to get the EVO 4G and DroidX to search for/recognize one another. Other than the on/off switch, there doesn't seem to be any other setting. I'm sure I'm missing something, but what?
[Android Apps and Games] errandum:
Ok...

It worked ok for single file (300 mb or so), but if I try to drag a folder i get a standard "an upload error occured". Kind of bums me out because I wanted to use this to transfer a large quantity of mp3's in their respective folders and it didn't.

It's a good idea, but with limited and occasional usability.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Great app...very similar to Wifi File Transfer in the market, except yours is more polished.

And for those who don't know, it works between PCs on the same wifi network as well....not just between phone and PC.

Very Nice Work...

joschi70,

Very nice work you've done. A couple of things though - 1) Explain or change the message saying "waiting for response". The first time I xfered a file I waited for a notification or confirmation that the file had been xfered. I never got that. Looking at some screens from other users I think now that I should have gotten something. Are you soliciting donations? If so please tell me how to donate to you. Oh, yeah! My phone is the E4GT and it works well on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. :)

Hello,

You're sure your router can handle multicast?

Have you successfully used any other apps that work on your local WiFi to share data between your laptop and phone before?
