Aah I forgot about it sorry.

Since I have developed some kernels, in that case a module is a driver that is used by the kernel for specific hardware, for example, if you go and compile a custom kernel and use it as is, your wifi wont work, that would because wifi modules aren't updated to the ones you compiled.

Modules are can be compiled to be a part of the kernel it self and not as separate files, but logically only the parts of hardware that are not on all the time get modules because there is no need to run their driver all the time as long as the kernel is running. In that way their drivers will run once the hardware is being used.

I hope it's clear now, cuz I think my explination is a bit confusing :confused:
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Thanks got it so in other words modules are android drivers which help it to integrate with different device parts OK this might be a stupid question but what are busybox , onandroid,and mky2image called in many post some call it modules and some call it applets so any idea what is its real name?????:confused:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
indeed they are applets (talking about onandroid, busybox ..etc)

Thanks to wiki-pedia I found the simplest explanation for modules:

If you would like to know more, here is the source link: Loadable Kernel Modules.

:D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Thanks a lot you just removed my 4 months of confusion then I guess you could strike off that module error I submitted as in this case it was my error....lol
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
No problem my friend, I'm glad I was able to help :D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
6.0.1 Beta 2 is out, waiting for your feedbacks :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Sorry wont be able to test it soon having my university exams soon anyway......I am uploading the software i promised yesterday called android kitchen manager O and it is only about 1 and half MB it unpacks into two folders one called split_img and the other called ramdisk i it also unpacks recovery.img along with boot.img and not only that it also repacks them...

Instructions-

1) To unpack drag the img file to unpackimg.bat

2) To repack press repackimg.bat with the two folders (split_img and ramdisk) in the same directory

3) To clean that location and start a fresh project press cleanup.bat

Warning i have tried this packing and repacking functions and it worked 100% but i have not tested it yet practically.........

Hope this helps to make you app smaller and fully dependent on itself.....:fingers-crossed:

Off topic-I have come accross a usefull exploit of samsung s3 in which you can get 50GB of free storage for your dropbox account for 2 years for any android devices you just have to copy paste three files and change permission and wola so if you are interested i can give an attachment for download.:silly:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks, Will check it out for sure :)

So any issues in the Beta version (Asking those who have tried it :) )
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Sure tell me if you like it????? :confused:
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Soooooooooooo
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
OK I have been trying to explain to you about the tar.gz problem and I have been able to make a exact copy of the error I believe that droid manager is sending the command tar to the device instead of giving tar -c and the location of the file to archieve

I have posted the image of the exact error occurring in droid manager
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Sorry was somewhat busy yesterday,

Thanks a lot for the boot.img app I will work on integrating it in DM,

As for the tar issue I will recheck the code.

And you where right I shouldn't have changed the icon of the app, got many requests to change it back :-/

Are you ready for another test version after an hour or so?!

P.S: Thanks a lot for your help :)

By the way one user reported major issues like slow browsing of files, and unable to create nandroid, are you facing such issues? !
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
great work friends....the toolset is really power driven :D:D:D

Hey, for fix permissions....you can use the script which we we use for cwm ...its perfect for bundle permission fixing...

you might have it but here is the link just in case

Fix_permissions
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Now that's interesting... Permission thing I have in the app is for single files, (by the way added the ability to show hidden files + make sdcard files / folders hidden, I wont be allowing it for other files & folders cuz I don't want new users to mess up their device by hiding "system" folder :p )

Now I will add an option to use that script to fix permissions in general :D

Thanks for the link :)

By the way you are the only one reporting slow performance of the app, even though version 5.0 till 5.4.4 where developed on WIndows 8, and had no issues + I tried it on Win 7 & win XP (no way I'm installing stupid vista :p) and no issues, is it still that bad :( ?!
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I still don't understand where the issue is for Tar.gz creation, I debugged the code and here are the screenshots (first one is shows what gets executed in the CMD window that shows up, and the second one shows the result of the code)
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
oops you got me wrong.....its not about performance issues....its blazing fast..the issue is with buttons....just wait some time...these exams very near...i will make a log of it with images next time....

and yeah if you got that permission thing right it will be AMAZING! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Ok then I will go through all buttons and see which ones are causing the issues you mentioned :D

Waiting for your feedback when you are done with exams (thus mine start on 22 June :( )
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
Well atleast i can give one instance,

In attachment,we have to unblock the file..thats the original installer of beta 2
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I already explained to you my friend, I first made Droid Manager edit windows registry so it can add "Send To Android" option in the context menu of windows. and then I switched it to make the installer edit registry, and windows wants user to unblock it cuz I didn't sign it.

But does that mean that you can't install the app unless you unblock it !!?

Edit:

Instead of arguing I could simply sign it -_-

Next beta will be signed :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
well i am glad you liked the boot.img app if you are talking of the bugs in beta 2 i have not tested yet but will try to test the latest one soon no i had no problem in creating a nandroid backup of the system after installing the mkyaffs2image file did he install it and is he talking of the pipe error

Ok i did not mention this to you because it did not bother me and my nandroid restore worked flawlessly but as the software creates the md5 file and nandroid backup image file of each partition it created one extra file that i did not see before but i had herd of it somewhere but did not pay attention at that time its called .secure_android or something like that i can not remember so this name might be wrong and its md5 checksum.

After my restore attempt it showed restore failed but everything was restored sucessfully only that file did not restore where ever it should restore and let me qoute "it worked flawlessly" the next i tried was to delete that file and its md5 and it worked like a normal backup no problem at all

Sorry i skipped that point but i guess you should first ask him did he install mkyaffs2image file.....:crying:

So are you releasing the new beta version today if so i shall try to test it tonight as i guess i have time today......:D

also one more thing guess many people do not use adbd insecure so a idea is as soon as the droid manager starts why not directly start an automatic command of "adb root" or keep an option in the start windows
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot my friend, and yes I'm going to release one within an hour (max) I'm just adding the option to check for mkyaffs2image & dedupe. But I had to leave romdump because it didn't work on my device so I can't integrate something I haven't tested :(

but CWM backup almost does the same. and as for that file you are talking about I think it's an issue with onAndroid I will check it's thread if it's truly an issue with onAndroid.

and here is the change log of the next beta:

Fixed Nandroid bug, Nandroid custom name was ignored.

Fixed viewing tar files, tar.gz files used to return error.

Improved device detection. Now droid manager prompts user if a different device was connected IF and only IF "Device Rom Management" window is open.

Fixed bug where App used to freez when deleting an item.

Added Ability To Show Hidden Files.

Added ability to make SD Card files hidden.

Fixed bug in Create Shortcut.

App now looks in /preload/symlink for apps.

Added ability to disable Nandroid notification when backup is done.

Now DM checks for onAndroid related files and installs them if missing.
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
also one more thing guess many people do not use adbd insecure so a idea is as soon as the droid manager starts why not directly start an automatic command of "adb root" or keep an option in the start windows
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Good idea, Will prompt users on startup if they want to install the patched one, and they can restore the original one if they don't want it any more.
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
ok...no probs....don't sign the beta ..we will manage it....just sign the final stable release....i thought there might be something else reason for this....you explained clearly this time!:D:D:D:D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Can I know which device do you use since the romdump could be used in all devices did you put it in the system/bin folder and set the permission I shall post the link of the sight http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/ and just telling the command is called romdump and the files should be stored in the internal sdcard provided the internal memory is above 1 GB in the folder romdump

By the fixes you have made I can't understand two of them

[*] Fixed bug in Create Shortcut.

[*] App now looks in /preload/symlink for apps.:confused:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Too late already signed it :p

One of the users reported that on his Galaxy Note, in this path: /preload/symlink/system/app <-- Droid Manager wasn't showing him apps over there. so I added the ability to check in that path for apps.

As for romdump I'm missing this file: /proc/mtd, and I'm using an S3.
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
I was just going through the romdump forum and I just wanted to ask you before you gave romdump command did you take root access in the terminal...you have to first type su then romdump
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I've set Android Terminal to always run SU command upon startup :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Sorry I posted this comment before your mtd problem comment yes I just now checked my hostel mates galaxy s2 it also does not have mtb file I shall try to find a workaround anyway I recommend putting it as a majority of phone have it we all can check if it works as this is some what essential to build custom roms......but in the end it is your wish
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Ok then, I'm gonna do the following:

Add it to the app, make it only execute romdump, if there any other commands or flags please mention them so I can add them, and give you a beta to test :D I think that's the best we can do. I do know of a work around but I don't want to mess up my device I'm not in a position that allows me to spend time working on fixing my device :(

(By the way Beta 3 is almost done uploading ^__^)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Thanks a ton that's a great feature really to customizing ROM so I think it would look best in the ROM custamizer windows rather than the droid manager window......:D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
and that's what you will get in Beta 4 :D

By the way beta 3 is now online if you guys please check it out, I hope all bugs you reported are now fixed :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Can't wait to get my hands on already started downloading just for me not to waste my time like the last time I just want to ask you did you do any changes in the ROM custamizer and boot extractor if not I would not test that until it is ready........otherwise I would give you the same bugs over again....lol

Please answer this as fast as you can......:confused:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I'm sorry to tell you I haven't come near it, once 6.0.1 is stable I will work on so taht 6.0.2 will have a better custom rom creator :D

But does that mean you wont be testing my changes :(

Edit:

But I will add rom dump for beta 4 for sure ;)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
No you misunderstood me of course I would be testing it NOW I am just saying that since you have made changes to droid manager I would be testing that while the ROM Custamizer is the same so I would be reporting the same bug over again so until you change something in that then only I would test that portion I stress again I would be testing droid manager now this is because I try to test every small function right to the renaming and that takes a hell lot of time......and my exams a are going on I just got a big gap these few days......:angel:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks a lot my friend I REALLY appreciate it, all those bugs you and [MENTION=4794719]epicsilence[/MENTION] (which I think he changed his nickname :p) reported where just unknown to me, thanks to you guys this program is getting better and better :D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
By the way have you considered putting this software in softpedia I know it will increase the amount of users.......
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
To be honest I haven't :-/

I thought creating a Facebook & Google+ page would help, but I will do what you suggested, and I suppose I will put Beta 3 rather than 6.0 since beta 3 has lots of bug fixes.

Thanks for your suggestion :D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
No offence to your believe but if you see it in the consumer viewpoint people go to Facebook and other social network to chat and meet friends they first discover these software in sites like CNET and softpedia as that is where they first surf then if they like it a lot they post and subscribe to the Facebook fanpages to give their reviews and get contact to the developer directly.......:cool:
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
great beta 3 out.....:D:D:D

:eek::eek::eek:

where's the link
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
once again my friend that's a good point, I'm working on uploading my app to Softpedia and let's hope for the best :D

Thanks a lot for your suggestion :)

It's in OP my friend, if you like, bookmark the link so that whenever there is a beta release you will always find it there :D
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
Am i the only one who getting from mediafire "the file is set to be private":crying::crying::crying:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Oops!! my mistake :angel:

Check this one :D Droid Manager - Beta 3
[Android Software Development] epicsilence:
thats great on softpedia

also think about this too....prepare a webpage that describe your software's features.....in india people always trust softwares that are based on their own web pages....that would help me to spread the word about it to many friends who don't even know xda... but use s3 or nexus....just like flashtool for xperia...it spreaded like a virus when it can up on its own webserver.....softpedia is very good choice

:cool::cool::cool::cool:

and one more thing...there is another app name droid manager on playstore which has its own website by that name.....if you search droid manager on google that site comes first!!!

not that important but thought these things might help
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Well I have this website: https://sites.google.com/site/droidmanage/

But as you can see it's so messed up and not in a decent shape :(

As for the other Droid Manager, actually there are three apps called Droid Manager

1. An app that does the same as my app, I found out about that app after couple of months from releasing the first version of mine.

2. My app

3. The one you are talking about.

The only reason the other app goes on the first result of Google is it has more users than mine or else we would be switching between 1st and 2nd all the time :)

Thus I'm happy that you guys gave your full reports they really helped in fixing bugs that I never knew about :p
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
Ya that's true you just told what was in my mind it always hides this app and also its website hides this software i like this name but a word of advice becarefull these big companies are ruthless if they have copyrighted their name so be becarefull espicially when i am seeing a great future for this software ..........:(
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
When they warn me I will be happy to change it because this means they want to take this app down, it happened to me on one of the kernels I'm developing, some dev started accusing me and rating 1 star to my kernel's just to push off my limits and make me comment using bad words so he can get me banned and make his kernel the best one. So Let them do what they want I do what I have to do and I don't care about what competitors are doing to me as long as I see success with what I do (and only feedbacks can prove if there is success in what I did :) )
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Avtually the problem was that it was not checking /preload directory to generate a backup file to a mod.zip.

But anyway, if it doing so now, it is better :)
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
There is a BUG Outbreak

Guys we have a major bug outbreak in our hands whenever i press droid manager the droid manager windows opens out for less than a second then the close program or find solution online windows comes out i tried three times and on the third try an error report came indicating that AdbWinApi.dll has not been found i tried to install it twice and still the same error and the wierd part is that AdbWinApi.dll is present in the ProgramFiles Directory......Take this beta 3 out as soon as you can and fix this bug

I am sending a pic of the error report........:crying:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
ahha, I didn't understand it that way when you told me about it yesterday :S

Can you explain more please :D ?!

Wait what!! Everything is ok on my end, I even removed DM and installed it again and it worked without issues :(

Edit:

Go To: C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Temp\RegawMOD\AndroidLib

That's where AndroidLib (which DM uses) place it's adb.exe and other related files, if it's not there, remove RegawMod folder and it will be re-created upon next DM start up :)
[Android Software Development] diegons49:
Thank you for the great work!

But I have a problem.

Just after click in "Start Droid Manager", the program opens the window and freezes, Windows opens the troubleshooting, I am forced to click in close, and Droid Manager closes.

The error happens in "fastboot" and the phone on the way "Debug USB" enabled.

Smart: Motorola Atrix 4G MB860

ROM: Topsmarts 1.3 Final

Recovery: romracer Recovery 5.0.2.7-atrix5 (but I tested with TRWP 2.5.0.0 and happened the same error)

Operating System: Windows 8 Pro x64

Note: I have all the drivers installed.

Here is the content of the file "Error" that sits in the folder "C:\AndroidManagerTemp\Logs"

[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I have detected the issue, give me like 30 minutes and you will have the fix :)

Thanks for reporting with the log file :D
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
O my god what is happening it has nothing to do with your software but my com i installed version 6 and the same issue is occuring i cant understand enything??????????????????
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
the first time you reported the FC it was from DM it had a bug in the startup code of Device Rom Management window

But in the 2nd case it's a thing I tried everything to solve it but I still fail is if you have adb.exe or fastboot.exe process running DM will force close :(

Go to task manager close them and then run DM again :)

By the way a fix is being uploaded for Beta 3 :D

Edit:

Beta 4 is being uploaded :)

Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?cvo5wgk34a99g
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
I tried to restart again used task manager to kill adb process tried to delete the temporary files and then installed the stable version 6 but even it gets hanged please will this patch you are uploading now help
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Yes it should bring the fix, cuz everything is working flawlessly here, and the issue that FC'd the app on your end was the result of an IF statement that always returned true in my case that's why I had no force close :)

File is now online, happy testing.

Edit:

soooo?!
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
So how are things going with Beta 4?! I hope everything is going as planned :)

Edit:

1 bug found: When disconnecting device while DM is running, CPU is being exhausted until a new device is connected -- Fixed to be included in Beta 5
[Android Software Development] anandisrocking007:
One serious bug found nandroid backup is not working will be posting all the problems tomorrow.......

It also does not detect the previously made nandroid backup............
