[Android Software Development] MarkAndroid:
The strange thing is that I tried it on several computers, and anyone can create folders or copy files!

I need to set anything special on your PC or Note 3?

I have USB debugging enabled.

Pierre has the PRO version or the free version?

It could change something?

Problems using Droid Manager

Hello.

I recently got a new phone and new computer and I wanted to use Droid Manager as it was easy to install .apk's from computer.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 with modded stock TouchWiz 4.3 ROM, busybox and root. I have Samsung Kies 3 USB drivers installed and adb sees phone just fine using

adb devices

.NET Framework installer shows that I already have it up to date too.

But as soon as I launch Droid Manager, I get 3 error messages:

Mind you in Task Manager there are absolutely no adb.exe processes or Kies running whatsoever

The Available Devices list is completely empty.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=3675740]MarkAndroid[/MENTION]

Both versions have the same core, so nothing will change.

Anyhow I will be pushing an update for the pro version after few hours, once it's done I will go ahead and check with your issue.

Hello [MENTION=679438]bladez[/MENTION]

Regarding your error here are the cases that might cause it:

1. Adb.exe running (you confirmed it's not)

2. Fastboot.exe running.

3. Droid Manager not being able to extract adb.exe and it's libraries to their destination (destination is: C:\Users\Omar\AppData\Local\Temp\

you must find a folder called: RegawMOD)

The first two messages you saw where because Adb instance for Droid Manager failed to start.

Please check with the list of causes I wrote in my comment I'm sure one of them is not a satisfied condition.

For sure it's not an issue of a missing driver, nor .Net framework not up to date.

Can you please tell me what you tried in-order to try solve the issue?

I always keep a small chance of a new issue that is related to a very special case like that specific device, or that specific computer, just like what is happening with MarkAndroid he is facing issues while another user with the same device has everything working.
[Android Software Development] bladez:
I checked, both adb.exe nor fastboot.exe are running, neither before trying to start Droid Manager, nor after.

There is a folder in Local Temp called RegawMOD, contains two folders:

AAPT>aapt.exe

AndroidLib>it's empty

I still haven't managed to solve the issue. I've tried installing different ADB drivers, naked and universal and also reinstalling Samsung Kies drivers, but nothing seems to work. ADB itself still sees the device and Kies works perfectly fine though.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=679438]bladez[/MENTION]

And this is our issue, that folder must not be empty.

In the mean time as a temp solution, please download the attached zip file and extract it's content to AndroidLib folder

Or you can use these files:

1. adb.exe

2. AdbWinApi.dll

3. AdbWinUsbApi.dll

4. fastboot.exe

copy them to AndroidLib folder. (The files I mentioned above are founded in android sdk folder, I assume you have it downloaded since you mentioned you are executing adb command to check if your device is being detected by adb.)

Waiting for your feedback my friend :)
[Android Software Development] bladez:
Thanks a lot, this made it work. Checked most of functions in Droid Manager and so far everything seems to work. Thanks for your help, have a good day :) !
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
You are most welcome my friend,

Have a good day too :)
[Android Software Development] bladez:
Only thing is the General Info for the device is empty:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=679438]bladez[/MENTION]

To get device general info, Droid Manager reads the following keys from build.prop file:

1. For device name: ro.product.model

2. for Serial Number: (this is retrieved from adb it self)

3. for Manufacturer: ro.product.manufacturer

4. for Android Version: ro.build.version.release

5. for Build ID: ro.build.display.id

I have an S3 and those values appear while I check the window, the only thing that makes them not appear is if those keys are not found build.prop (which probably means Samsung changed them in S4), can you please send me a copy of your build.prop file (or at least the keys that are supposed to show those values.) so I can update Droid Manager to read another set of keys if the ones I provided didn't return any value.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=679438]bladez[/MENTION] Thank you, I take a look at the issue too.

Please if there is anything else let me know, I want to make this app bug free :D :highfive:
[Android Software Development] MarkAndroid:
Hello Omar, I have also occurred:

adb.exe = Running (sometimes they appear 2!)

Fastboot.exe = Intermittent

Droidmanager Folder = C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ DroidManager \ Updates - Empty

DroidManager Folder = C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ RegawMOD - OK 2 folder
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Now that I have updated the pro version, it's time to work with the free one and fix it's bugs :)
[Android Software Development] MarkAndroid:
I hope for a solution for me too!

Could it be the problem of double adb.exe (sometimes) and no fastboot (or intermittent)?

Today when I try to start droidmanager replies: adb cannot run as root in productions build
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Omar, thanks for the update. I tried 7.01 now for about 15 minutes, and till now all works fine. Good work!!

Version 8 wish......still hope for a Forward and Back button in the Device Manager :) No hurry!
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I knew I forgot something, just didn't find out what was it :(

Note taken for the buttons, and in the next version so far what is planned:

1. An update manager so that customers don't have to enter their information, use a coupon ..etc every time an update is released.

2. Improvements to the newly introduced Media Sync

3. The Back and Forward buttons :angel:

if there is anything else, let me know :D
[Android Software Development] MarkAndroid:
New for the free version with resolution of my problems? :D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=3675740]MarkAndroid[/MENTION]

Unfortunately I haven't worked yet on fixing the issues you reported, I'm currently under pressure at work and at the courses I attend, so work on Droid Manager is delayed until weekends for the mean time.
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Take your time, Omar. First things first. Success with your work!

btw, I am very happy with the Pro version.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Why not buying the Pro version?
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Now you have a job!!! Congrats.

Great news. And I have a weddşng ceremony next week :D

BTW, What's up dude. It has been long time no see..
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION] Thanks man I'm happy to see you are enjoying the pro version :D

Currently I'm working on implementing an update manager. and I have also implemented those back and forward buttons for navigation :highfive:

[MENTION=4278555]ardicli2000[/MENTION] hahaha yes yes I'm working as software developer right now :cool:

Congrats for you getting married my friend, I'm soo happy for you :D D: :victory:

Though shame on you, you haven't invited me -_- :P
[Android Software Development] MarkAndroid:
Why I said that the pro has the same core of the free.

To me the free version does not work!

:(
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
It's not all about the app, it's for the support too! He spends a lot of free time in this project, so a small donation can never be wrong.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=3675740]MarkAndroid[/MENTION] Can you please re-explain your issue in detail, I came across something similar the other day and I want to make sure it is related to your issue :)

[MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION] I think you will be interested in the image below ;) (observe from right to left :angel: )

​

I will be busy working on few things so it might take a while until I come with a new update for both free and pro version (by they way I will be busy working on them and not busy because of life :P )
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
That looks amazing, Omar!!
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION] Thanks :D

So far I have implemented the ability to browse computer files, pull selected file from computer to device using the android app I showed in my previous post :good: :cowboy:
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Are you planning to put it in the Playstore?
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Just made a small contribution as my wedding gift.

Ooops, that should have been you :P

But you got a point I did not invite you... yet :D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION]

So far I have not come into a decision on where to put it. New features added to this app will need an update for the windows app so I can release both together, yet bug fixing this app needs a standalone update >_>

I will know what to do once I'm done coding it :cool:

Just a small update for the android app, I wasn't able to work that much the past couple of days, so the only major thing changed is the UI and a better way for sending and receiving files to avoid slow speed and connection failures

​

[MENTION=4278555]ardicli2000[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot man :D :D :D I really appreciate it :D

Although I'm so happy for your my friend, I still remember what you used to tell me back on Skype, see how things change when the time comes ;) (I think you where the one who told me that yet it's good to mention it :D )
[Android Software Development] hara74:
hi mate,

I bought your great app and it´s pretty cool,

but sometimes I get this error when I try to connect via wifi

sometimes I get it to work sometimes not :crying:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION]

I'm sorry for that issue, I am working on fixing it. I received activation requests from 40% of Droid Manager pro users, I will be fixing it for the next update (coming soon hopefully :) )

If you like I can work on a temp solution for now for you to use the software, and then push an official update when I'm done with the feature I'm working on.

Let me know what you decide :highfive:
[Android Software Development] hara74:
thanks for ur quick answer :good:

I don´t need a temp solution so far, take ur time for the next update

but I got another problem, now the app even recognice my handy :crying:

first complaining about missing adbwinapi.dll, also that it can´t get the the adb.exe,

after deinstalled and reinstalled the programm this is gone but I doesn´t recognize my handy

yesterday it worked fine :confused:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION] I'm sorry for that, all those issues you are seeing are because of failure in activation :(

I made the app allow usage of it for few days before it stops working IF it wasn't able to retrieve its activation info.

Can you please attempt to do the following:

1. make sure your computer has internet access (I'm sure it does, although mentioning it wont harm :angel: )

2. Go to: C:\Users\Your_Windows_account_username\AppData\Local\Omar_Bizreh: and delete everything in the folder (although doing that will reset droid manager settings unfortunate :( )

3. Go to: C:\Users\Your_Windows_account_username\AppData\Roaming\Droid Manager and delete the file you find there.

4. Just in case, Go to: C:\Users\Your_Windows_account_username\AppData\Local\Temp\RegawMOD thats where adb binary sits, if it's not there let me know.

I'm asking you to do that because I have found a flow in the code which makes Droid Manager activation method hangs or stops working if certain data included in one of those two files, so deleting them and making the app create them again usually helps in successfully activating the software.

Again I apologize for this issue, and thank you for your patience :)
[Android Software Development] hara74:
ur my hero,

after deleting the files and folders in the two places you said,

and after giving the app the license.dml again,

it recognized my Note at once :laugh:

so I´ll keep this two folders in mind if the programm going confused again ;)

don´t apologize you, you make a great job with this program, and all good and big programs have child issues

and don´t worry, I have three children, so I had to learn to be patient :p

p.s. if I may a small request, only thing I really miss in ur great tool, is to flash a zip directly through ur tool, that would be a great option :laugh:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION] I'm happy to see that my friend :D

Although I have received your activation information and I noticed you are using the app on a different computer and current licenses are sold for 1 pc only.

As for the feature you requested I am thinking of adding though I am working on a feature right now and once I'm done with it I will work on the feature you asked for :highfive:
[Android Software Development] hara74:
sorry but I don´t understand what u mean that I use it on different pc,

because after buying your tool I use it only at my pc,

but I deinstalled a earlier version of Droid Manager free what I used only a few times

and don´t hustle with my request, take ur time

better a stable app as an app with a lot of features that doesn´t work properly ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION]

Let me explain a bit my friend, once the user installs Droid Manager the app creates a serial code generated from hardware id available on computer, which means it takes CPU ID, Hard Disk ID, BIOS ID and Motherboard ID combines them to make a serial key and send it to me, so today I received a different serial code than the one I received on February 19.

In this case I will move your activation to the one I received today so that when Droid Manager recheck for activation status it does get an OK response.

As for the your request it might take a bit long (I mean the feature you requested) because currently I'm working on writing an Android client that will talk with the users' PC to do the following:

1. get list of partition on user's PC

2. Allow user to browse his folders on his PC

3. View or download any file from PC to device

All that done over wifi (the wifi option found in current Droid Manager uses Adb shell, and connects to the windows app that you currently use. while the one I'm writing will connect to a windows service which means the user doesn't have to do anything on his computer, just install and run the app from his phone to get his files ;) )
[Android Software Development] hara74:
that´s weird mate,

it´s the same pc I installed the app on 19.02. as I reinstalled the app today, nothing changed, maybe windows update :confused:

(only thing I made is clearing up with Tune up and copy and paste the license.dml a few times)

but doesn´t matter for me, the main thing is that it works again :laugh:

and yes I saw the pictures u posted before, that´s a really really cool feature of the phone app :good:

which is installed on my Note already ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION]

1. Don't worry about the windows app, I will handle fixing your activation until I release the new update which takes care of the rest ;) :highfive:

2. There were other management utilities before I started writing Droid Manager, so I'm sure there are others that offer what I told you in my previous post, although I like to do it my way :angel:

Below are some screenshots of where I reached, wish me luck :D

Screen1

Screen2

[Android Software Development] hara74:
looks cool,

good luck and :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION] thank you my friend, I hope you enjoy it when it's released ^__^
[Android Software Development] hara74:
I´m sorry to bother you,

but I have some trouble with my pc and have to reinstall a few progs,

so also yours

now I get this error, I deleted the two places you said before but nothing change :crying:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=4485822]hara74[/MENTION],

it seems (according to Google Translate :P) that the system wasn't able to find a file, by that it means the following files were not found:

1. adb.exe

2. fastboot.exe

3. Adb libs needed.

Can you please check this directory if it has the folder "RegawMOD": C:\Users\Your_Windows_Account_Username\AppData\Local\Temp\

if not, please download this file and add it manually, although it shouldn't do that, those files should be extracted by Droid Manager it self.

Kindly check the attached image to see how the "RegawMOD" directory should look like.

Waiting for your reply my friend,

Have a nice day.
[Android Software Development] hara74:
I've checked the folder and one was empty,

I reinstalled Droid Manager again and the folders are there,

but unfortunately I can't get it to work

the problem isn't your proggie I guess,

because I have a few other issues on my pc,

after trying something and editing the registry

sent from my G-Note
[Android Software Development] red_hanks:
Amazing OP, this is very useful. I like the part where I can backup the tweaks I made on my device. Great job!
[Android Software Development] hara74:
hey Omar,

I get it to work,

I restored an older point of windows and all is fine again :laugh:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
This is interesting, a registry key made my app stop working, hmm... time to play with my computer's registry :P I need to know why that happened :angel:

Thank you very much my friend, I'm happy to hear your feedback :D :highfive:
[Android Software Development] hara74:
don´t worry to much about that mate,

I tried a few kontextmenu editors the last days and installed and deinstalled a few programs, edited the regestry myself,

had to deinstall a few programs that installed themself (hard to get them away),

had to fight with some folder ownerships and administrator rights and so on...

so you see, maybe it hasn´t anything to do with ur nice proggie ;)

now I´m going to flatten my pc and start from scratch,

today I saved a lot of stuff to another patition like emails, settings of a few programs and the installer.exe of my favorite proggies (like yours)

so I get also a lot of work the next days :p

greetings

hara
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I see, so I guess there is no need to find out why, since it's a registry problem and it's just an install uninstall thingies that you did, then all we can blame is Microsoft :P

By the way don't forget to backup your license file too :angel:

Good luck with formatting your computer, it's like a worst nightmare since everything needs to backed up and restored + installing apps ..etc

Have a nice day my friend :D
[Android Software Development] eventcom:
First of all: thank you for this really useful application.

Regarding that problem I'm not too sure. Unfortunately I have to tell that I have had exactly the same issue (even with the same Windows locale...:D). Me too had a few other things running in parallel but mostly on the phone - not Windows - and because of that (and not finding any reports here) I thought it was just me and left me a bit clueless.

Due to the fact that I have the whole Android SDK on my machine and installed (pushed) Fastboot there lately (I didn't like Fastboot much in the early days of ROM flashing...) I've been sure having all dependencies on the right place. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Droid Manager 3 times (without success) until I read the previous posts here.

So I looked into the respective places to find out that all folders were there - but: the contents of the AndroidLib folder were completely missing. I too have no idea what happened. I'm quite sure that I didn't do much on my Windows system while the issue occured. Wait a moment, besides updating some Android SDK files via the SDK Manager. Could it have to do with it?

Anyway pushing the missing files to the folder helped - but of course I don't want to run into the issue blindly again...

For now thanks again for the app and the solution above ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=4436629]eventcom[/MENTION],

I'm sorry you had to go through that issue without finding any help file or notice from regarding how to solve it.

Anyhow since this issue is being reported a lot lately I'm going to modify androidlib and make it read from Droid Manager installation path the required files.

That should solve the issue of some unknown conditions where the app fails to extract binaries to user temp file.

However Droid Manager doesn't need android sdk, it can function without it, and any modification done to the android sdk will not interfere with the app it self.

The new update might be a bit far from now, I'm still working on a new software (which will also be a part of Droid Manager Pro) once I finish it I will go back to the free version of Droid Manager and update it with the fix I told you about along with few other stuff.

Have a nice weekend my friend,

Best Regards.
[Android Software Development] eventcom:
Good to hear. I'm a fan of robust applications. But no worries regarding the issue. It didn't take too long for a solution and even if I'd already use the donation version I wouldn't expect that there couldn't be any bugs or situations where something doesn't work. In the end we're dealing with different OSs (partly heavily customized) and different setups plus a lot of dependencies, add-ons etc. And due to the fact that this is also a perfect tool for the highly experimental stuff...

Yep I've been aware of that and that might be the best way to go (as not everyone needs to install the SDK).

Thanks again. I always love XDA for the high quality of help and support you get here and you're also a good example for what I'm talking about ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Exactly different setups and lots of dependencies this is developers worst nightmare :angel:

You are most welcome, I'm grateful for your feedback my friend and happy to know you are enjoying using my tool :highfive:

By the way a new tool is coming very soon if you care about trying it let me know and I will mention you in the new thread :angel:

The Program Won't Connect

Installed it on my laptop with Windows 7. I have installed adb & fastboot driver. I use another android pc suite (Snappea) which runs well too. But when I run Droid Manager, it notices that ADB server is not running or something like that. The program won't connect my device and I have followed the instruction to switch off adb.exe in the task manager/processes. What should I do?

I use GB android device. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=5194233]mangDroid[/MENTION]

If it's stuck at "Starting Adb Server" or "Waiting for Device" then there is one possibility only:

Adb binaries are not found on your computer, Droid Manager usually extracts them then use them

Please download the binaries from this link, then go to: C:\Users\Your_Computer_account_Username\AppData\Local\Temp

Then extract the downloaded zip file there.

Attempt to run Droid Manager again, and please let me know the result.

Have a nice day
