I normally copy apk files of my needed applications to external SD in a folder, its really difficult to install all of them manually. Is there any app which can automate this process?

I'm saving files in
sdcard/Android/data/<packagename>/files
the problem is that everytime i download the app to the phone - the folder and it's contents get deleted.
anyway to prevent that.
ideally i would want that to happen only when the user uninstalls.
for debugging and user app upgrades - i'd like the folder and it's contents to remain.
So i'm wondering if there's an app that will automatically sync a folder on my phone and tablet together?
ie.. lets say i take a pic or record a video with my phone, can some app automatically sync that folder to my tablet?
On my tablet I have 500MB internal memory, 5.6GB on nand flesh and 2GB on sd. So I want to change directory of installation folder but I don't have access to PC is there any other way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm on Jellybean 4.1.2 and I would like to know how to view my "external_sd" folder which is in my "sd card" folder? This is NOT the Exteranl SD card folder but rather a folder call "external_sd" which is in my phones sd folder.
I can view the files via Astro File Manager, but the folder isnt even displayed on my Windows 7 computer?
I am trying to do something similar to the "SpeechSynthesis Data" app in the market. After installation it automagically starts itself, downloads the speech data to the sdcard, then uninstalls itself.
Does anyone know how you can have an app automatically start after installation? I can't find any info on that.
I've rooted my Dinc and got skyraider 2.5.2 with full backup through titanium and nandroid.
Here are my questions.
1) Is there a way to transfer the exact status of my previous contact to my new rom? I've linked and synced all my contacts with facebook and stuffs and it looks like all those links have been disconnected. I don't want to link again manually.
2) Why does titanium not backup SMS? I've restored my titanium backup and none of my SMS got restored. Luckly I've used SMS Backup & Restore to backup, so that's not a problem, but I was wondering if I'm misssing something in titanium.
3) When I'm restoring apps with titanium, I have to keep giving permissions to install apps (clicking install button). I have around 80 apps, and I would much prefer if it's automatic without asking for my permission. Is there a way to do that?
locate External USB folder. I have Samsung Galaxy Note10.1. As soon as USB is connected, a message appears in bottom right corner:"USB connector connected", then disappears. I try to locate the sub-folder in the Storage Folder, but it's not there. I don't know where it is. I go to Setting and reset it to factory default, then it works. But when I unplug USB stick and plug it in again, it doesn't work. How come it doesn't read USB stick?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a method or an application for android tablet, which allows me to quickly reset the device deleting any data (from the Internet cache, and the cache to the photos of the various programs such as facebook, twitter etc ...) and that does not allow any modification of the operating system. I need this solution because I have a restaurant and I want to put a tablet on each table for guests to make him see the menu (full of photos and videos), surf the internet and play with the kids.
is there an app that allows this? or is there a quick way to do this, such as a multiaccount management ? I remember, for example, that for windows there are applications that completely erase any unauthorized modification, files and cache, at the time you restart the operating system.
OK, here's is my somewhat convoluted question: I am considering the purchase of an android tablet (Dell Venue 32 gb)...I want to take it on a vacation and use it, in addition to GPS and Email, to back up the files from my camera's SD card...Is this a practical idea and what would be the best way to go about it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy application allow to download files and store them on the external card. To avoid filling it, I've implemented a safety check so it prevents downloading when the free space is less than 20MB. The computation of the free space is done by:
public synchronized long getFreeSpace() { if (statFs == null) { statFs = new StatFs(getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()); }
return statFs.getAvailableBlocks() * statFs.getBlockSize(); }
which I presume is correct. In fact, it works in all my tests and for what I can say for the 99% of users. But a single user notified me that my app is constantly giving the "card full" message, as if the above method didn't work. He also told me that the problem went away after a while, and returned after upgrading a new release of my app. The user seems an advanced one, and I think he's able to check and correctly manage the contents of his external card. He reported that the card has more than 1.4GB free on the card. Are you aware of any specific issue or bug? The smartphone of the user is a Dell Streak with Android 1.6.
i have a question regarding playing files on TV via wifi which are located on an external HD, which is connected to TF101. In other words, i have toshiba external drive 500 gb, tf101, samsung ace 2 phone, samsung tv and skifta program. The idea is, connect external drive to tf101, initiate skifta in tf101 and in ace 2 phone and by using phone initiate a movie on TV which is located in external drive? And here I come into a problem, i can play movies on TV that are on my phone, and those that are in TF101, but with skifta my ace 2 does not list movies that are on external drive which is connected to TF101 If i use only TF101 and skifta, i also can play on TV only those files, that are on TF101 but those which are on external HDD are not listed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (US - Sprint) and received the following external memory card yesterday: Amazon.com: Kingston Digital 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 Flash Card (SDCX10/64GB): Computers & Accessories
I was previously using an old 8GB class 6 miscroSDHC card with no problems. I removed that card form the phone, inserted the new card and formatted it (exFAT). The phone had no trouble seeing 59ishGB of the new card.
I removed the new card from my phone and inserted it into my laptop. The phone had created a folder called "LOST.DIR" but other than that the card was empty. I created a folder called "Music" and proceeded to move just under 8GB of music folders/files to it overnight.
This morning I removed the card from my laptop and inserted it into my phone. I opened the "My Files" app and when I opened the "extSdCard" folder there was nothing there. I removed the card and reinserted it in my laptop and the "lost" and "music" files were both available. I removed the card once again and reinserted into my phone and after about 15 seconds or so the phone rebooted. Once the phone powered on it rebooted again. Once it powered on again it rebooted once more and this time it powered into safe mode. Once in safe mode, I checked for the card and low and behold I could see both folders and I was able to play mp3 files from the music folder.
The phone shows 51.06GB of 59.01GB free on the external card, whether in safe or regular mode. Every time I removed the card from the phone or laptop, I unmounted it first. I've read that Android sometimes doesn't play well with Windows folders, but I've never had a trouble with this on any other Android handset.
After moving from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2, the external sd is not mounted anymore. or at least I see it grey in system/storage. I can access all its content via file manager, but thats it.
Now, I have checked the 4.1.1 system, and there I have 2 fstab files, internal_sd and external_sd, the content (stripped of comments):
external_sd:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount sdcard2 storage/sdcard1 fuse
internal_sd:
dev_mount sdcard storage/sdcard0 fuse
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
on 4.2.2, the content of vold.fstab is:
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
Questions:
1. what to add in vold.fstab so that both cards are mounted?
2. what to modify so that the default one is the external one (I somehow assume that is in the build.prop, but not sure)?
I must have changed a setting somewhere. I used to be able to connect my SGS3 to my computer and see the files of both my internal and external SD cards. For some reason now all I can see is my external SD card. I am running a CyanogenMod 10 ROM. I have USB storage activated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried a lot of custom Roms. I'm on Neat ROM Lite now. Not sure which ROM changed my file access permission settings to cause this problem but I'm not able to delete any files from my external memory card. I was able to delete when I was on stock rom. The other problem is for a few apps I get an error message which says can't install on usb/sd card. I have posted this in another thread some time back but got no response.
This is what my file permission looks like.
I am able to delete when my fone is connected to PC via USB. So I don't think it has anything to do with a faulty sd card.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just noticed that there are some duplicate entries in my /data/app-asec folder. Some even with different sizes, e.g.:

I'm trying to use the library RootTools to make root operations on android system. I want to make a backup of some files including in the /etc folder with the next commands:
Code:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
File exists = new File("/etc/gps.conf");
if (exists.exists()) {
[Code] ....
It's supposed that with the RootTools.copyFile I can make that operation, but It doesn't make anything. I see that in cat /proc/mount doesn't appear etc folder. I'm tried too with the Apache transfer file copy, FileUtils.copyFile(source, destination) but it seems that it have problem with the mount system, who seems to be in RO. I try too with RootTools.remount("/etc", "RW") but fails too.
I want to know how I can edit, create, delete, modify files in /etc /data... etc.
I'm testing this on a Samsung Galaxy S3 with an stock rom 4.1.2.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed ADB and the whole Android SDK to root my asus transformer infinity (tf700t). I have taken all the steps every forum on the web describes: installing everything trough the manager, adjusting the path in the System Variables, and finally it getting it to work together with my tablet. However, when I try to flash/copy/install files from my folder (yes these files are in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe, which is the folder I used in the System Variables) It can't either find these files or it cannot open these files. When i put in the command 'path' however. I does give me the path where the files can be found.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on an android app. Where i need to parse some plist files from assets folder. I do understand how to use assets in android but now problem is that file sizes are more than 1MB and so android gives error Data Exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX (2183588 vs 1048576). how to access such larger files from assets? Also I cant reduce a file into small buffers because i am just sending it to "DocumentBuilder.parse(in)" as a whole so can not use buffer. The error is on line: Document doc = db.parse(in).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI uploaded about 50 pictures from iPhoto (using a Mac) just to see what they looked like and then later formatted the Droid's SD card, so the pictures were no longer there.
Now, if I mount the Droid via USB and view the file structure there is a folder named /albumthumbs which contains 50 files, presumably for the 50 pictures a had on the SD card.
To me, these file, unless linking to actual photos stored on the SD card, take up extra space in the phone's memory (not worried about the SD card). I wonder if I can safely delete them (just the files...not the folder)?
There is an app called PPDigital, it stores DRM free PDF files in a folder
Android/data/com.lht.privateerpress/files/
On my Asus Transformer TF101
I don't see that folder using "ES File Explorer" or "file manager" or when plugging into my PC via USB. I tried rooting my tablet and still haven't had any luck.
On my Samsung Galaxy S4
I see the folder but only 2 of the dozen PDFs that are in it, sadly they are the 2 I care the least about, both via "my files" and a USB connection to my PC.
I have lost a few pdfs which I have been reading for weeks (!) on my Nexus 7 (Android 4.3). Via the reading history of my pdf reader (Moon+ reader) I can see that at least one file is still present in the cache under the following folder address: /data/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/cache/filecache2/c042587322c4a438463efbd2cc533cbf/mypdf1.pdf
How can I access this folder? When accessing the device via the Android File Transfer sofware for Mac, I don't see this folder. I have access to Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files, but this folder contains no files but only another folder (called "pinned_doc_files_not_for_edit") which is also empty.
The lost pdf is still there, I can open it in the reader via the reading history, but I would like to access the folder to see whether other lost files (which are not in the reading history) are also still present. To be clear, the file which I can open is also not detected when searching the device for pdfs.
