Android : Accessing Sdcard File System Through Dev Machine Filesystem?
May 9, 2009
Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?

I am trying to copy an image to the emulator sd card by: $ adb push ~/Desktop/bullet_ball_ glass_red.png /sdcard /bullet_ball_glass_red.png But I get an error saying: failed to copy '/Users/n179911/Desktop /bullet_ ball_glass_red.png' to '/sdcard/bullet_ball_glass_ red.png': Read-only file system So I tried to go to adb shell to manual change the /sdcard to non read-only, but it still wont let me. $ adb shell # su # chmod 777 /sdcard Unable to chmod /sdcard: Read-only file system #.

I've got some code that downloads mp3s remotely over a streaming url connection... This all works fine but my problem is once the file is complete and I pull up the music app it's not there. A reboot of the phone and it now shows up... anyone know how to force this refresh to occur from without my code?

I am trying to access the sdcard on ADP2 from command prompt using adb tool and from window explorer, it says "Access is denied". I have followed the below procedure:
1) Installed the USB driver from Android site. 2) Connected the phone 3) Opened the "USB Connected" option from the notification bar of the phone, clicked "Mount". Also USB Debugging is enabled. 4) I am able to get the device name using "adb devices" command, also I am able to install APK file
But, when I tried to push APK or any text file to the sdcard, it is failing. This is the command I tried: "adb push Hello.apk /sdcard", it gives an error "Permission denied".
Also I tried accessing the sdcard from window explorer, it gives an error "Access is denied".
Also tried formating the sdcard, this sdcard works in the laptop and other non-Android phones, also did phone reset.

I'm running a custom ROM (4.2.2) on an HTC Vivid. When I connect to my PC via usb, Windows only sees the internal storage, not the external sd card, and there's no way to navigate to the System partition to access.
When I was running the stock HTC ICS, Windows would mount the external card as a separate drive. I know the file system hierarchy is different with JB. Is this why it only sees the internal storage now?

How do I get to the sdcard to mount in Linux; specifically Ubuntu 10.04? Also, is it possible to use the sdx tools in Linux?

I have a couple basic questions I'm hoping I can get answered before I start messing around with different ROMs/Radios/Kernels. Before I rooted, when I felt like things were getting cluttered or had an OCD attack, I would do a factory reset. How does that work?
What "source" files are used? Is the emmc directory the only directory not "cleaned" in a factory reset? Keep in mind I'm used to my workstation/laptop experience where I would format, then install a clean version of the OS from a CD/DVD and then I would install 3rd party apps and move my data back?
Any analogies would help my simple mind! One day I did a factory reset, the decided to root. Everything went perfect. I moved some bloatware to an apps.disabled directory, then did all my customizing again. Now I want to play with different ROMs. I do however want to hedge my bets in case I ever want to go back to where I am today. I've done a clockworkmod backup.
Does that essentially copy all the phone storage (except SD Card data) over to the SD Card? If not, what is left behind. Will a clockworkmod wipe erase ALL of the on board phone storage (except the SD Card data)?

I received a Text message sent from an E-Mail and I was wondering if it was possible to find the individual file on the filesystem holding the metadata for the E-Mail.
If so, would I have to root the phone? And where would that file be located?
I'm a techie, so no need to warn me that I could hurt my phone or files - I'm only looking to READ, not WRITE, and I'd be making a copy of that file beforehand anyways and porting it to a PC in order to check it with whatever program is necessary to decrypt (Probably only need a hex editor.)

The situation is this: at work the computers are heavily locked down. By that I mean that you can not download and install anything, no cd rom access and no usb access. they run win xp (some of you may be too young to have heard of this)
I have recently discovered, however, that when i plug my galaxy s3 in, the pc sees it as a digital camera, and i can access every folder on the internal sd card through windows explorer. i can then transfer any file i like to the computer This never happened on my g note, nexus s, or any other device.
Now, I can only confirm that the above works on xpower 2.5 ics custom rom. when I changed to hypergalaxy jb rom, there was no access to my phone via the pc.
how and why this works, and how i might use a hack to enable any usb device on such a locked down pc?

I want to be able to show the Battery Info activity in my app, which shows things such as the exact level, battery health, etc.I'm not sure how I can get it, though a few applications such as Power Manager, Any Cut, etc. show this screen as well. I found in the source code of Settings this intent in a file called testing_settings.xml,But I don't know how to use it. I would guess from the fact that Any Cut has a list of activities, that a list of said activities exists somewhere, and therefore an easy way to access them exists, but I haven't found it.

I need to create a protected file in android sdcard. I use file.setReadOnly(); bu it is not working. I don't know how to set a file readable, or how to protect an file from deleting, and the best solution would be to set it hidden.

I do not know what is cause of failing to create a new file on a sdcard of G1, the code is below:
File temp = File.createTempFile("test", ".temp", Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()); and the permission of sdcard is: d--rwxr-x.
Also fail if I try using the code below:
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory (),"media.temp"); file.createNewFile();
Giving out about Parent directory of file is not writable.

My question is how to copy a file from sdcard to /data/misc/wifi directory? I am working on a configuration tool for wiki supporting wpa enterprise. The configured file wpa_supplicant.conf must be put in / data/misc/wifi in order to work. So how can I move the file from sdcard to there? Is there any function calls to request a superuser access?
