[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acreo Aeneas:
I've noticed that the OTA 4.4.2 update breaks native OTG forcing me to use a file manager app that supports OTG from the Play Store. With that said, does anyone have any recommendations for good file managers with USB OTG support? Preferrably paid with no adds, otherwise paid, but not too expensive (under <$5).

Also does anyone know if File Explorer (fx) supports USB OTG? I've been a long time user but I can't find anything in their documentation that mentions USB OTG support.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
Im pretty sure ES file explorer does and there is a free version. I will test it when I get home.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
I thought maybe Nexus Media Importer would do it, I couldn't figure out how to copy entire directories from my /SD Card folder to the USB drive though :/

ES File Explorer (under KK) doesn't show the USB Drive like it used to under JB (Storage USB 1.1.1) which is a shame so I too wouldn't mind knowing a file explorer app that works (and allows write to the usb drive without rooting)

Kinda pissed Google broke USB OTG for KK, have you ever seen how slow Airdroid is at transferring big files over wi-fi...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Descendent182:
use stickmount to mount the memory and then use es file manager to acces the files
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
Looks like it needs root, is there a non root solution?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acreo Aeneas:
I would like to know if a non-root solution is possible.

If I have to root it, is there a guide somewhere to know I can root my Moto G? I have the US GSM model (XT1034), 16 GBs, and it has the OTA 4.4.2 applied.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
On Google+ someone suggested I use Total Commander with the USB plug in (both available from Google Play, and this does work, although the UI is like something from 1990

This solution doesn't need root, give it a go and see if it fits your needs.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CANADOS:
That's true, I can confirm it works but in READ ONLY mode.

To write smth to USB Flash Stick / microSD connected via OTG you still need root.

PS

Read only is more than enough to cover my needs cause you still can copy files/folders from memory stick to internal memory.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
Yep Techguyone is bang on the money. Tested file explorer and various other usb apps and I can confirm that what worked in JB no longer works. Is this something to do with ART?

I can't understand why they would hobble this feature..... Could it be security related? I remember reading about the 'Fraud docks'. Where people would use a mobile charging hotspot and when they plug their android or iphone in it steals their data.....
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techguyone:
It's not ART related, google are just gradually locking down their phones more and more which is to be honest, starting to get annoying. It's ridiculous to need root just to be able for example: to turn on/off GPS or Airplane mode. It's getting stupid now. Google are you listening?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
If its not security related, then it is probably more of a 'differential pricing' issue. Moto G has been too successful and is probably canablising sales from the Moto X and Nexus 5 more than expected, so they rush out 4.4.2 and lock up USB OTG and other features on the budget handset......
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clivectmob:
Use Nexus Media Importer, I was using it before the KK update and have continued to use it since getting KitKat. It works for reading and writing both ways without root. I have never rooted either of my G's. This is a fact not a guess as I actually use it.

And, you can copy entire directories both ways too. (edit)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheToastedTowel:
i just got the galaxy nexus coming off from the MyTouch 4g (glacier)(one of the best phones ever) and one thing that i really loved about the mytouch was the trackpad. with that being said would it be possible to make a nav button the acted like a trackpad (it would make texting so much easier)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
If it's just for texting try this:

There seems to be work on a system wide accessible virtual track pad app, but nothing looks promising yet.

Only other method of controlling my GN that I've tried was having the cursor when connecting a BT mouse, but that's not exactly practical for real world smartphone use.

i had just purchased a Verizon galaxy s4 from ebay and found out that its rooted .. Its got the hyperdrive rls10.2 on it and now it says there is a new version 12 I downloaded it . Ive read many threads on here and still cant figure out how to install the new version. Baseband version is vruamdk and the build is vruame7 . can someone point me in the right direction on how to update the new rom .im assuming it has the files on it already to backup etc what I need ... any info would be helpful

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
DO NOT update to MJ7. You are very lucky to have gotten an MDK phone. Read the Hyperdrive thread, I believe flashing instructions are in the first post. With an MDK phone you'll be able to flash any Verizon S4 ROM, including AOSP builds, if you so choose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] torchdown2011:
yes build is me7 and base is mdk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Leave your mdk base alone..you have a diamond. Just educate yourself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] torchdown2011:
is that the first page where says to

1. You MUST READ Through the Entire first page of the Thread

2.You MUST be ROOTED

3. You MUST have a custom recovery installed!

For Verizon Users

FOR MDK Unlocked Phones (TWRP/CWM)

1. Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version

2. Reboot into Recovery

3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache

5. Install Rom

6. Reboot (First Boot may take up to 10 mins)

7. Let Phone sit for 10 minutes

8. Reboot again

9 Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
As said DO NOT UPDATE. Read up on loki. Your phone is rare in that it still has the original software on it, its the only one that has an exploit to bypass the bootloader. If you update you could lose custom recovery forever.

If your s4 is mdk turn off and boot to recovery by holding volume up and power...if its mdk and running hyperdrive you should already have custom recovery installed...if so you can run pretty much anything available...do some reading and learn up...post your recovery version here...it may not be up to date...older versions work well but don't always play nice with newer ROMs...if you need any help just ask...I myself as well as many others are more than willing to help...if you don't know ask...you don't wanna brick an mdk as chances are you won't find another one

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] torchdown2011:
how do I find out what recovery version I have??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Install ROM Manager, from the market. When you open it, it will tell you what recovery you're on. Or just boot into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] torchdown2011:
ok says its clockworkMod recovery 6.0.3.2 and says a newer version of 6.0.4.4 is available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Most likely the advanced reboot menu is active. Press and hold the power button. If there is a reboot to recovery, press it. If not, press reboot. If a new menu pops up, press recovery. If not. Power off. Now his the up volume button and press power until it starts up. Then let go of just the power button until some tiny blue writing shows up in the upper left. Then let go of the volume button and wait for the recovery to boot.

Then MAKE A BACKUP. Select that option and do it with the default settings.

Keep your phone plugged in.

Then install the V12 you downloaded. It's aroma so it will step you through.

And keep reading everything you can.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nes4r2:
Welcome to the MDK master race!

Depending in which recovery you want to use CWM or Team Win. Most likely it has a recovery already installed, go to the power menu and pick recovery mode, you boot to the recovery.

You can update to the latest modem via the modem thread.

Rom build and baseband are different thinks when on the MDK version.

Like someone said here dont upgrade to any other version example MJ7.

The only thinkvyour ever going to need to upgrade to the latest greatest Rom/Android version is your recovery.

Educate yo self!!#

Phillz Touch Base is the go to CWM for Verizon imho its in the Development Thread. You can update any recovery by just downloading the zip file and flashing it with the older one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Either use a file explorer, or plug your phone into your computer, so you can see the internal storage. Look for a folder named clockworkmod. Inside of that look for a folder named backups. If there are multiple backups in there, delete some of the older one. Clockwork backups take up a lot of space.

If you have a memory card installed, start directing your backups to it.

Can anyone tell me the main differences between these two roms? Big features that one lacks and the other doesnt etc. I cant decide on which rom i want to use coming from stock + xposed.

Things that peak my interest is the SmartRadio options in Cataclysm, and the Lockscreen blur and halo in Mahdi. Do they both have all those features?

Try both. It only takes a few minutes anyway and that way you can see for yourself which one you like and which one you don't.

Hi all,

i have crated a variable in Tasker but Themer Zooper cant read it. The normal Zooper Widget is showing the value of the variable.

Any ideas?

[Themer General Discussion] CopKiller76:
No one?

Adding another question, how can i reset the OnTap Action for a Zooper Themer Widget can't find this option.

Greets
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi, could you provide us with some more information regarding the Tasker variable?

To answer your second question, there is no real 'reset' action as such. The Widget OnTap Action for both the entire widget as well as for individual modules start off with the default setting to open the Zooper Configuration. So to edit a widget you've just changed - hold down on the widget - configure. This will open up the editor, whereby you can set the main Widget OnTap Action or even the individual module as being default actions (Zooper Configuration).
[Themer General Discussion] CopKiller76:
Hello ThemerSupport.

I have set a Profile for Whatsapp and added a Task with the Variable called WAPP. Now i have uninstalled Zooper widget and reinstalled Themer. No plugin for Zooper is present in Tasker anymore.

Hello,

I answered this the other day on G+.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BillSurowiecki/posts/dnMQ1CuYpdY

The reason you are not seeing the 3rd party tasker variable in tasker is because Tasker support for Themer Zooper was mistakenly removed. Its been added back in our internal builds and there will likely be a patch update adding it back to the public build early next week.
[Themer General Discussion] CopKiller76:

[General Questions and Answers] Prince1993:
Hello,

I have a problem with my newly purchased chinese android handset Galax G-One.

The baseband version is probably SC6820 (as far as I remember).

I had rooted the phone with Root Master One Click VRoot and then was exploring it. Then I tried the app 'Pimp My ROM', it prompted me to restart the phone and my phone got stuck on the start-up screen and it loops again and again.

When i try to get on the recovery mode to format/reset it by pressing vol down and power button, the screen shows a triangle and an exclamation mark and nothing happens after that.

Please help.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CtrlAltDave:
Ok, so somehow I've managed to screw this phone up royally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just switched to Android from iPhone and I think I tried too much too fast. :)

I successfully followed the guide to convert my AT&T HTC One to a Google Play Edition. I got S-OFF and changed the CID to GOOGL001 and successfully got 4.4 up and running.

I'd been using that for a few months and decided I wanted to try the HTC Sense Stock Software 4.3 (being new to android I just kind of wanted to try it myself in addition to stock android) I've been through a ton of steps and attempts now that I won't bore you with, but here's where I'm at now:

I'm stuck in a bootloop. My phone will load to welcome and ask for a language and then reboots about 2 seconds later.

I can successfully get into fastboot and run commands against the device. If I flash a recovery, it seems to work for one or two boots and then it will crash and restart until I flash it again (tried with TWRP and CWM)

I am currently Tampered Unlocked but can perform fastboot oem lock and unlock. I have S-ON, HBOOT 1.54 and Radio 4T.

My goal is to go back to stock for this device with 4.3 and Sense, but since I stupidly did S-ON before I changed the CID I'm not able to run the RUU exe and since my phone is in a bootloop I don't know how to get root access to run rumrunner to S-OFF.

I've been researching and trying stuff for several days now with no luck and this forum seems to have the best advice of most that I've seen. Can anyone help? Thanks so much for your time!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] TopoX84:
I had a similar experience in which I completely removed android OS from the phone ;) If u flash the HTC with TWRP and you are able to successfully enter the recovery... TWRP has under advance button and option called adb sideload.

basically download the Google edition that successfully ran your device and place it under the adb.exe folder.

Steps

On the phone

Access recoverty TWRP

go to advance

Click on adb sideload

Swipe to activate adb sideload

Connect phone to computer.

On computer

Go to run and enter cmd press enter

go to the folder where you have the adb.exe

and the command that you enter is adb sideload «filename.zip» press enter and let it work

Is there anyway for me to achieve s-off from where I am now? If I change my CID back to the AT&T HTC one and then relock and s-on I would be able to use the stock ruu exe, correct?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] TopoX84:
I would look for a stock Rom GPE since you changed the CID and your s-on

I would look for a 4.3 or 4.4 stock Rom... Make sure also that TWRP is the latest . And try again both steps above. if that doesn't work my inclination would be to flash the Rom via fastboot.

try using this ROM, when i had the issues with my HTC i used it to sideload or push and it worked flawlessly.

You are correct to what you said unfortunately the only way for you to perform a s-off based on the information given is using rumrunner in which you need your device to boot completely to the OS
