Hi, i purhased SambaDroid. Works good exept it does not start right after reboot - but smbd deamon is allready running!!

EDIT: FIXED! Busybox Installer has to install busybox!
[Android Apps and Games] Sharikov Vladislav:
all russian community complain about very low speed :D

moch more lower that samba server for android
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Then have them use the old one or start coding their own. I think Berserker has done an excellent job thus far on the new app and obviously there is still much to do.

In the mean time, Samba works great on my SGS3. Thank you for your time and effort Berserker. I appreciate it greatly. MTP sucks.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
:good:

On my TODO I have to improve the bind interfaces selection (manually write is very bad...).

Are they testing the pro version? Please note that the transfer speed of the pro version in much faster :)

Thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] DocMAX:
there is still a bug if i'm out of WLAN zone and come back, the statusbar icon doesnt reappear (but samba is running in background).

i found another funny bug:

i have 2 MP3:

Ramsey Lewis - A B.mp3

Ramsey Lewis - Living For The City.mp3 (this file is hidden in Windows Explorer)

if i rename "Ramsey Lewis - A B.mp3" to "Ramsey Lewis - A.mp3" then "Ramsey Lewis - Living For The City.mp3" appears!!!!!

What a crazy bug!!!???!!???

SambaDroid v1.0.6 (15.jan 2013) fails to get root on my phone. Does it require a special root-app/version ?

I use SuperUser app=3.1.3 (43), bin=3.1 (16).

I have Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] matejdro:
I cannot get SambaDroid to work. After pressing Start button, it will do something for few seconds and then stop. Wlan interface is manually set to wlan0 (otherwise it does not detect it).

Logs with HIGH debug included.

(Also sent a mail with logs, but I figure forum would be better way to solve issue).

EDIT: It started working by itself when I came home and tested on home network. Is it possible that it could be router issue?
[Android Apps and Games] matata86:
Please, how to set Bind in options to eth0?

THX
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
Go to options and you will find it there

Open that option and type eth0 in the text field
[Android Apps and Games] matejdro:
How much faster is pro version?

I'm currently getting around 2MB/s transfer speed which is actually quite impressive for samba (I always had speed problems with windows file sharing), but it is not nearly close to N wifi speed limit.

So how much improvement does pro version brings, if any?
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
On my Galaxy Nexus I can reach 3.6/3.7MB/s but if you need an even faster transfer rate I can suggest my FTP app :)
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
a bit of topic but what protocol would your recommend for fastest file transfer via network (FTP,SFTP,SMB etc.) and ofcourse i need to be able to run it on android :)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] matejdro:
Tried FTPDroid. First speed was jumping between 3MB/s to 5MBs, but after few second it dropped to around 3MB/s steadily. Slight improvement, but it is still needed to plug in USB for any bigger files if you want them done in this lifetime.

I really like samba because it behaves like native folder in windows, so practically any program can read and write data from it. For example with FTP or MTP I cannot extract files directly from Winrar to remote folder.
[Android Apps and Games] govindadas:
just tried this app... works awesome. glad to have an alternative to samba filesharing as I don't know if that one is going forward.

Does this app work with 4.2 roms or other the 4.2 aosp branches?
[Android Apps and Games] xdadevnube:
I was surprised to find that Samba Filesharing, which hasn't been updated for quite some time, wouldn't work on the Note II.

I tried out SambaDroid, but found the issue with the wifi interface. Binding to eth0 still won't allow the app to start.

I use SSHDroid Pro where others have failed with SSH, so my hopes are high for SambaDroid.

Sadly, I don't know how helpful I can be, but I could always try out SambaDroid versions on my Note II for some limited testing.
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
This app is still not working on my GK802 :( wifi or ethernet same problem... well when bind interfaces is set to eth0 it won't even let me press start and when on wifi it just doesn't connect.. same app on my phone works fine though

EDIT:

i keep getting this, but whats the authentication? i tried android as user and nothing as password etc....
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
Working fine on MX1 stick as well, did you make sure that ethernet connection is actually working?

On MX1 after reboot it doesn't work, you have to disable and enable it again or use script on boot.
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Yes ofcourse i checked that :P How did you get it to login? i got password disabled but still windows is asking me for password
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
I got password enabled and it's working fine
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Ok here is what i do.

1. install sambadroid

2. menu > uncheck require wifi > bind interfaces > eth0

3. press back

4. starting server

5. server started

6.

but what do i enter? im not a noob to XDA as you can tell... but i tried the same app on my phone and it worked fine but on my gk802 it ask for user/password WHY?

EDIT: could you send me your advanced sharing settings from windows :)

start > manage advanced sharing settings

EDIT2: when trying to add the samba share in XBMC for windows it crashed XBMC lol WTF is wrong ? :(
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
Credentials from your Options setup

default user is android and no password
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
yeah doesn't work, testing on another computer now.
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
create password
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
on sambadroid? tried it still nothing... same thing on another computer aswell.

EDIT: just installed sambadroid on my phone connected to \\192.168.1.21 and it worked straight away so clearly a issue with sambadroid and gk802 not my computer... not sure what or why though
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
Yes, strange, did you change the name for default user as well? I left it as it was just added password. (four digits)
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
nope can't with free version can you? also just noticed nothing is being logged on gk802.. when i pull it up its blank, on my phone its full of logs and the su popup is also constantly showing up on my phone but not on my gk802... any ideas?

EDIT: now it is showing logs. and a lot of errors, getting log now.
[Android Apps and Games] lifeisfun:
Yes, using the free version now (disable su notifications on your phone)

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Do you have firewall enabled on your pc?
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
1. that notification is not important lol it's just it is not showing on gk802 which makes me thing something is up, su was granted at start thoug

2. yes but its not my computer causing the issue as it works fine with my phone and even if i disable the firewall it doesn't work on gk802 still but still works on phone and other computers.

Steps i did.

1. install sambadroid

2. accept su

4. press start

5. server stops with a lot of errors and can't produce stack trace.

6. reboot

7. server starts

8. cant connect and many many many errors. logs being emailed

but some times it loads but then i can't login and log has loads of errors, check email.

[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Hi,

this log-in bug exists from the start of SambaDroid and the dev has no interest to solve it :(

Many of us have written this here.

SambaDroid runs well on JB 4.1.x but not on Gb 2.3 and not on ICS 4.0.

Google Play and the dev say it is compatible.

The old Samba Fileserver has no problems with GB and ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Re: [APP][2.2+]SambaDroid 1.0.6

hmm I will dual boot my phone and try sambadroid on that then :)

I also can't get the other samba server working :(
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
yeah just tested the old sambafilesharing on the GK802 and it worked, any way to change smb share directory though?

so to all users...

SAMBADROID = JELLYBEAN

SAMBAFILESHARING = GB AND ICS

I just flashed my first AOSP build 4.2.1_r1.2 and have everything working, but neither sambadroid nor sambafilesharing work... eh...
[Android Apps and Games] Lizard:
I'd like to have the user configurable, accessing the server as root isn't the way to go.

(Unless this 'root' user is only for internal samba use and not global.
[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
I'm at work at the moment, but it has installed on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (ICS) and let me change the settings OK. (On which subject I assume whitelists will be supported in some future version by the way?).

However when I turned the tablet's wi-fi off, and launched the app again to see if it had been disabled correctly, the tablet froze on the app homepage (which was basically blank). I've had to do a long-press on the power button to force a reboot. The tablet has rebooted, but the app does not seem to have auto-restarted, even when my work wi-fi connected. I tried launching the app again (with wi-fi off) and it again froze the tablet again with the "SambaDroid" title in the top left, but nothing else visible from the app. If I launch the app with wi-fi on, it launches correctly.

I'm a bit puzzled by the Netbios name vs Server String incidentally. I assume Netbios is the name under which the device will appear on the Windows network? So what's Server String?

Oh, and the tiny 'Log' button is right above (and far too close to) an advert, which needs to be moved to avoid accidental presses on the ad.

Andre
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:
This root is definitely samba internal user name, but i am sure (hope so at least...) berserker is gonna make the username configurable as this makes the configuration on client side easier.

I also had a problem starting the service at first, but after a reboot it started automatically...

Why are all files and directories (seen from Windows) marked as read only?

I cannot overwrite or delete these files even as administrator.

After starting the old Samba Filesharing Server all files/directories are now shown normal.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
That's the problem!

Please help me in solving this by:

Paste/attach here the content of the file /system/build.prop

Give me a link of the rom you are using so that I can download it

Paste here the output of the command "netcfg" (this should really help): you can invoke the command from your PC with adb (adb shell netcfg) or from the a terminal emulator directly in the device.

The output should be something like this:

​
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Sure :)

As stated in the first post this is a "work in progress" and lots of options like these will be added soon but by now I have to prepare a quite "stable" version to be release on the Play Store (as you see there are some open bugs :().
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
I confirm that the user 'root' is only a "dummy" name by now (I plan to add multiusers support in the future).

Please forget the "Server String" option, I will probably remove that option in the next release.

Regarding the 'Log' issue I plan to make a Tab to distinguish the smbd/nmbd messages (this should solve the size problem).

Could you be so kind to reinstall the application and see you still have problems on the first startup?

The idea is to allow the user to configure as many shares as needed (it's on my TODO :)).

I cannot help you with "Tasker" but you can test this functionality by running:

adb shell am broadcast -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START

adb shell am broadcast -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.STOP

Once the application will be available on the market, I'll support some in-app purchases to allow features like this: I already have experience in this (in particular with my game Drysic) so it should take not much work.
[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
After testing on my home network, using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (generic Samsung ICS 4.0.4 upgrade, rooted) I found:

With wi-fi on, the App starts and says the service is running. I've set a suitable Netbios share name within the app, and used my standard Windows Workgroup name (as used for my home network).

The shared device does not appear in my Windows 7 Network view (where I do see my other Android ICS devices listed, which are both running the old Samba app).

If I enter the direct IP address manually (e.g. typing \\192.168.1.211 into the path area) then I do get a login prompt, but I can't seem to get it to authenticate. I just get the standard Windows "network is not accesible / you might not have pemissions" message.

I've tried with and without a password set within the App (using 'root' as the login username from Windows) and also tried disabling the App's password tickbox, but I always get the same Windows error message.

If I turn the app off, as expected I no longer see a login prompt when I enter the IP address in Windows (so at least I know it's your app that's responding).

Should I be typing anything else into the IP address line (a path for example?)

[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
I just found a bug in the code that prevent to correctly save the options, please wait for the next beta (next week) :(
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
As I suspected the param "wifi.interface" isn't set in your build.prob file.

What's is not clear to me is that the netcfg command reports a "wlan0" interface and in this beta, if the "wifi.interface" property isn't set, I call this ugly function:

private String detectWifiInterface()
{
String wifiInterface = null;

try
{
for(Enumeration<NetworkInterface> i = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); i.hasMoreElements();)
{
wifiInterface = i.nextElement().getName();
if(wifiInterface.toLowerCase().contains("wlan"))
return wifiInterface;
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{

}

return null;
}

that "should" have detected wlan0 but it seems that something didn't work...

I already replaced the above "horror" with something better (I hope), so please just wait a few days for the next beta ok?

Thanks again for your patience :)

Thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] gsustech:

[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
I like your clock. :) I'll download the new one when I get home from work and see if it now saves the settings and connects correctly.

[Edit] I can say that the new beta version still completely locks up my tablet if I launch the app with wi-fi turned off or not currently connected to anything (tablet then needs a forced soft reset). Will let you know the other stuff later.

[Android Apps and Games] govindadas:
hm... I don't know what that means or how to check it... my googling showed that you are probably talking about a windows setting, and it was definitely an android handset problem, neither samba app would start the fileshare. Sambadroid just said 'starting' for a while, then stopped, Samba Filesharing (with and without the paid update) just crashed after hanging for a while when I pressed the enable button. I tried a few reboots, but I can't remember if I tried clearing cache and dalvik... However, when installing the AOSP rom, I wiped data / factory reset in cwm.
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
i mean the setting in this app, "bind" is your network adapter standard device name like eth0 or wlan0? if not you will need to use terminal or ADB and type netcfg then find the device name and add it to the bind option.
