hmm.. is it CWM or TWRP!?

I am now trying to create TWRP nandroid and it succeeded thus I haven't changed any of the default options in DM, once this done I will do the rest of the tests and see.

As for the bug I reported in the previous comment, it's because of AndroidLib I will be editing it from the source code I got from it's dev. Beta 6 on the way tomorrow or the day after.

Waiting for your detailed feedback my friend :)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks aot my friend, I have no electricty now will be working once its back. Im grateful for your feedbacks thus devistated that DM was iut a year ago and no one reported any of those bugs which as a result kept on increasing without noticing them. Thank you for your feedback and I will work on fixing those issues once electricity is back + add some notes about some suggestions you proposed to be sire I got idea you explained :D

Have a nice day :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Very very very important

It is TWRP recovery 2.4.1 and please add the the extra applet for making nandroid backup and locking the nandroid windows until you have a updated busy box 1.20 or higher otherwise most of the consumer would think it is a bug please add the update busy box or get locked feature otherwise they would make a corrupted backup unknowingly and they get screwed big time I am stressing with all my might with this busy box update feature because I did that and tried to restore not checking the data size and my entire device got bricked the TWRP could not mount into system partition to restore my actual TWRP backup also and it would not even use use my stock ROM to repair it or even flash any update with it in the system partition i used aroma file explorer to check the files in recovery mode and found out 80% of the files are missing as a last ditch guess work installed the stock recovery and installed the stock ROM from it and god really saved me then I installed the TWRP again.

I kept the recovery only to install it before going to service center so they do not know that my device is rooted and it saved me

Anyway back to the point PLEASE BLOCK ONANDROID UNLESS THE BUSYBOX IS HIGHER THAN 1.20 AND ASKING THEM TO UPDATING IT.

7) I don't really get this point, could explain more please.

Thanks a lot for your report, and I'm sorry for the trouble caused by Droid Manager Nandroid bug.

As for Nandroid bug not being able to backup, I don't have winXP installed so if you please try again on Windows XP cuz I've tried it on Win7 without changing code and it worked, so I changed the code a bit hopping it will now work with win XP (when the Beta is out, which is supposed to be tomorrow if everything goes well on my end.)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi I was just wondering if you know where to find tutorials of how to create windows concept such that I can help you when I post suggestions I know that it can be done by Photoshop and you need layout or something do you know anything about it........:confused:

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Hey no need to apologise we know the risk when we beta test and besides this was not a droid managers fault it was not a bug this thing happens with the normal method of creating nandroid also and I was careless it was written in the onandroid forum but just lock this windows as whoever uses your software would not go through each and every components forum or so....... good luck on your next beta hope I will have time to test it as you know about the exams but not to worry after 6 I would be totally free to test as much you like:D

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

Sorry it is not syslink it is called symbolic link and it is actually like a shortcut when you she the etc folder in the root directory along with system in it is actually like a shortcut of etc but it acts like a whole folder and if you delete it the original folder also gets deleted it is only possible create and delete by a specific commands in the terminal hope this helps I am not sure if droid manager can say the difference but if possible it would be great:rolleyes:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-creating-symbolic-link-ln-command/

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-remove-delete-symbolic-softlink-command/

Hope these links helps.......
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Good luck in your exams my friend :D

As for now, I'm gonna lock the onAndroid thing, add the extra buttons for mkimg2yaffs then release final 6.0.1.

Next version will include the ability to create symlinks, I suppose busybox or android shell provides commands for doing such thing.

As for creating concepts I have no clue about it, I've never tried to do one, I always use Visual Studio put out a layout of the app, then start adding stuff to the app to make it grow (check this link to see how DM v1 looked like, and how it grew up to be a year later)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Wow got to admit did not see that coming......:eek:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
lol yeah it was so basic and had a kind of ugly UI, I would've showed you how folders looked like (which also used to be somewhat ugly) but that version supports ICS and older :-/

also it had so few options to do, for example the only option that File Browser provides is the ability to see your files, you can't change permissions nor rename nor delete nor move, in other words, just view your files you can't manage them.

APK manager was only about allowing users to install apps to their device

Zip Files was only about creating zip files (and files where shown as a list, open "My Computer" and look at the left of the window (in win vista and above) it had the same look but without icons.

Fastboot haven't changed it's the same since version 1 + some UI changes for that tab

also wifi is the same since v1 + added ability to send folders to device rather than just sending 1 file at a time.
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Listen I have got an idea in which your that partition problem can be solved and also you can display more info but I can't explain it without pictures and I have a tablet now and this sadly in xda can not load attachments so I shall upload the idea I guess within the next 5 hours........:cyclops:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
No worries my friend, it's 3:30AM here and I'm about to sleep, so after 5 hours I will still be a sleep :p

I usually sleep for 7 hours, so take your time and I don't want to rush anything :D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Well I am 2 hours ahead of you it was 5:30 usually I sleep by 1-2 o clock but now there is exams going on.........:(
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Let's hope you didn't stay up just to test DM :p

Good luck in your exams my friend :D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Well as you can see that the problem is being created in droid manager that it can not read the partition made you should create the another windows about the devices information and put it above the file manager windows well i shall provide the photos below which include the qtadb information windows (Picture 1) and android commander information Windows (Picture 2)

The following are the type of information you can add-

Mobile Info-

Serial no

Model

Device

Manufacturer

Baseband

Bootloader

Android Version

Build ID

Operator

Busybox

Root access

Hardware Info-

Processor

RAM

Device Resolution

Battery Info

Network Info-

Sim serial

IEMI

IESI

Phone No

Partition Info-

System

Data

sdcard

external sdcard

I have an idea of the the way the system partition should be shown it could be like the interface of Moborobo Welcome tab in which there is one bar to show the amount of data in the partition on top of the bar there are buttons in which it if you click that button then the data changes to show that specific partition info and beside it there should be file browser button on clicking it the windows would switch to the file browser windows and go to the partition in which the button would be pressed to make it easier to understand i have attached the pictures of my ideas below (Picture 3 and 4)............Hope you like it:highfive:
[Android Software Development] Chirag_Galani:
Hey guys,

Facing the following error:-

Droid Manager.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Please help.

Regards,

Chirag.
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Ok i have checked that Nandroid problem in the windows xp on the windows 7 OS and there were no problem i guess the problem is in windows xp only try checking the problem using virtual box or so but sadly it problem of detecting the previous backup is still not working........
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Does this happen when you start droid manager or when you start some function or press a button???????:confused:
[Android Software Development] Chirag_Galani:
I am using Windows XP....

Ya i face the error when I start the program.... And, the file crashes...:(
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Ya i guess there are some problems in the XP OS guess its a bug i cant make nandroid backup there also i guess you have to talk to the developer about this:confused:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I was supposed to release the next stable yesterday, got a little busy will release it tonight it will solve those issues you are talking about.

Nonetheless there is one issue im still working on DM will force close when there is a running process "adb.exe" please check if thats the issue

Try killing that process then run DM again and tell me what's the result :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
So how do you like my idea about the concept to info tab I posted above.........it would be very resource full and informatic.......

Also there are some some problem faced with the droid manager used in the XP OS
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
I did not get you are you asking me to first start adb.exe separetly then start droid manager and then see that it responds or shuts down???????:confused:
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Here is a bit of example and info about symlinking:

symlink("busybox", "/system/xbin/[", "/system/xbin/[[", "/system/xbin/arp", "/system/xbin/ash", "/system/xbin/awk",

"/system/xbin/base64", "/system/xbin/basename", "/system/xbin/bbconfig",

"/system/xbin/blockdev", "/system/xbin/brctl", "/system/xbin/bunzip2",

So, yes ADB can symlink.

The other version of symlinking bears the idea that there will be same directory under a folder called "symlink" within the hidden partition.

So that, vendors can move some of their system apps to this hidden (preload) partition and gain some space in system partiion. This prevents remapping whole emmc and losing data.You can find a nice short article about it here: http://mobility.forumsee.com/a/m/s/...oad-partition-how-and-why-you-should-use.html

A quick sample:

symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app/aplication_name.apk","/system/app/aplication_name.apk")

And, easy way to create symlink lines: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185878

[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Just released the RC version, majority of bugs are now fixed. As for the new suggestions I will add them but I need sometime I'm so busy with uni and graduation project :( + exams are a month away from now.
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Sweet will check it after about 3 days exams are going on now and thanks for following my softpedia advice guess what your softpedia download count has gone to 70 in over 3 days that's awesome!!!!!:D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Your welcome, I must say I should have done this long time ago, thanks for your advice :D

I'm thinking of making the RC version as final tonight. I will do more tests and check everything is going as planned :D

Edit:

best of luck in your exams :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
By final are you meaning final of this version or final of droid manager????hope you don't stop if this continues we surpass the other droid manager within less than a week their download is only about 300 within 6 months.......lol
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
LOL no it's not the end of development for this app, by final I mean final release for 6.0.1

As for the other Droid Manager they depend on Google Play for their downloads, check their page on Google Play and you will see it's been downloaded between 5,000 and 10,000.

In the end let's hope for the best :D

Now if you will excuse me I have to go to uni :angel:

Thanks a lot for your help, and waiting for you to finish your exams :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
OK then happy to hear it bye
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Droid Manager v6.0.1 has reached stable stage.

Enjoy :)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thank you for your detailed report, issue detected. Thus I find it strange the cause of the issue is not causing anything on my end.

And you said you tried running as Admin. Anyways I'm now uploading the one with the fix download link should be in your inbox in a while to make sure everything is going the right way :)

Edit:

Updated Download link with the fix to the reported bug :)

& [MENTION=4582512]Silentbob999[/MENTION] download link is also sent to your inbox.
[Android Software Development] Silentbob999:
Confirmation - issue fixed

thanks

edit: nice app ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot for confirming.

And I'm happy to hear your comment "nice app" :D

Enjoy using it my friend :)

Have a nice day.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hmm... This looks like an issue with AndroidLib, I will grape it's source code and fix the issue.

Thanks for the detailed Bug Report :)

As for translations, thank you very much I'm planning on translating the app this summer, let's hope for the best. and I will for sure contact you (if you don't mind) for french translation :)
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
As I'm in software development myself (not having coded myself for some time), I know what it feels when someone comes with a "App doesn't work, fix it".

No problem for translations, I will try to be as standard as possible!

Edit: I tried to install onAndroid for Nandroid backups, but i get a failed message. Could it be because I have Orange Backup installed, and where can I find any log to help diagnosing the issue ?
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot for your help my friend, much appreciated :)

And yes it feels frustrating especially that what applies on my end doesn't always apply on others end, for example your onAndroid issue & the crash you reported earlier today. But after fixing those issues I do feel great about it :D

As for failure in installing onAndroid that would be because Adb failed to push the file to /system the reason behind that is adbd file in /system/sbin

If you use Adbd Insecure (by Chainfire) and patch the file everything will work without issues.

I would've made DM patch it automatically but the thing is keeping it patched will allow untrusted (infected) apps to execute adb commands as root and that's something I don't prefer, that's why I ask users to install Adbd insecure since it has the option to unpatch the file upon reboot.

It's not a useful thing to make DM patch it upon exit cuz I doubt all users close DM before disconnecting their device from PC.
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Thanks, I will try that later as I need to leave now.
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Thanks again. Adbd insecure worked.

I thought that CM kernels would have that included by default, but I was wrong. Maybe that's for the best.

Now something else ;)

I haven't started a backup yet. When I attempt to list existing backups on the device, DM can't find anything. I have two backups created with Orange Backup, and visible from CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 on my external sdcard at /storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup. Any idea why the backups are not listed?

Sorry to bother you but this is still my first day of DM usage. I will be much quieter afterwards.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Now that's a bug in the app, thanks for reporting I will fix it for the next update,

Though I need to ask a question, does it detect the ones you create?! I mean if you now create a NANDROID backup, does DM see it? I want to be sure so I can have a clear idea on what to edit in the code ;)
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Thank you for your help.

I will launch a backup and report the outcome.

Edit: I have a small trouble launching the nandroid backup. I have Busybox v1.21.0-jb on my Note, and DM asks me to install v1.20, telling that the Busybox version must be at least v1.20!!!

Is there an issue with the version I have on my device ?
[Android Software Development] sayaksark:
GOOD

GOOD TRY
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
I did a nandoid backup on /storage/sdcard0 (aka /sdcard), it is recognized without issue by DM.

Edit : i did the nandroid with onAndroid directly on the device, via adb shell.

Next try, nandroid on /storage/sdcard1
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
As for the Nandroid bug where DM keeps on telling you to install busybox 1.20+ I fixed it, it turned out I made a mistake in "check condition",

And now I'm going to work on the first issue you reported, I might send you a download link within an hour if you don't mind :)
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day :)

Thank you anyway!
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
And here is 6.0.2 that should hold the fix for init.d checking.

Download Link: Droid Manager

Happy Testing :)
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
I'll test in the morning if you don't mind. I need to go to bed now. :)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Sure, take your time my friend. No need to rush anything :)

I will be waiting for your feedback (when you are ready to test :D )
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Success!

I had a couple of minutes to test before i'm going to sleep :)

Success! The backup has started!

Now if you could include external sdcard (listing and backup target) as an option, that would be marvelous! I do not want to clutter the phone memory with backups.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Edit: I'll come back tomorrow for some more testing and feature proposals. You're definitely on the right track!

Edit2: Have a jar of coffee on me! (# 3NL30659CG235142W)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Great to know it worked ^__^

As for the external SD Card thing, I totally forgot about it since I don't use it in my phone I stick with the 16 GB I have, will work on it for sure ;)

Reply for "Edit": I'm glad to read this "You're definitely on the right track!" this explains lots of things to me especially when it comes to evaluating my work ^__^

Reply for "Edit 2": Thanks a lot I realllly appreciate it (and I enjoyed my coffee too :p ) :D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
6.0.2 Beta is ready :)
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
One way or another, this App is nearly perfect.

I say nearly, cause nothing can be perfect ;)

Congrats Deep...
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Exactly and feedbacks what helps in making it as close as possible to being perfect ;)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Happy To Help

Hi because of my exams which are going on now i did not get time to beta test all the droid managers features but from all that i have checked i found the following bugs -

1) When deleting Multiple files double or triple instance of all the files appear and it only clears in i press refresh. (Picture 1 Below)

2) When i create a folder example named dd i can not create a file also named dd

3) In the Build.prop tab the recommended values in the list disappears on startup until you add a new value in the recomend value box then only the previously saved recommended values you had saved then reappears

4) In the start screen sometime in the case of status check 1 out of 3 times is wrong that is it tells that root access does not exit

Recommended Ideas-

1) How is the work going on creating an information tab which would be above file manager tab i will 100% say it would be very usefull

2) The are no recommended values in the build.prop tweak tab i am giving you a link to the build.prop Tweaks http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227269 if you want i could add all these recommended values in the droid manager and you could tell me in which file are these values saved such that i could upload it to you

3) Well the help has turned old and as started to become out of date and they are not written in chm format like other software help file thus it requires other software like microsoft office to use it if you want i can update it in chm format and upload it to you

4) Well can you add a button in the start screen to give out the command "adb root" such that the person in the previous post does not have a problem to edit system files or we do not have to install adbd insecure in the device

I would be very happy to help you in the number 2 and 3 but sadly after 6th as my exams are going on now-;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Regarding your bug report:

1- Fixed the issue and fixed the bug that caused the app to freeze if deleting multiple files (or a single file) I guess you also saw that which is really annoying.

2- Also fixed that.

3- I don't have such issue thus I made some code changes only you can confirm if it's now fixed since I wasn't able to simulate the issue.

4- I also get that I have disconnect then reconnect the device, but also adb in CMD says the same that my device is offline.

As for the ideas I will work on them once I'm done with this month I'm so tight in time and I must spend my time to finish my studies. but for sure I will finish them during summer, not to mention last summer Droid Manager changed from the screenshot I told you about to what xda said about it (link in OP) so expect better support during summer :)

And thanks for all your feedbacks and suggestions :D
[Android Software Development] cuiltheory:
I found this program yesterday. It does look good, but I have some problems with. The first time it run, it told me that I do not have a busybox installed and want to install. When I click YES - it crash. I installed busybox and try again, but would not run. I uninstalled and installed again. This time shows the busybox and run fine until I try to change file permission. It told me that I do not have busybox and crash. Uninstalled and installed again. Try again and some thing - crash when I try to change file permission with no busybox message. Sorry for the "bad news". This program would be a perfect tool form me - if work. Run in win7. Phone - HTC One S JB with hboot 2.15.Thanks.
