wpcentral.com turn wp7 usb funtion on - Windows Phone 7 General

Interesting read.......
http://wpcentral.com/how-turn-your-windows-phone-7-device-usb-drive
1. Open the registry editor on your PC by typing regedit in your Start menu
2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB; search for ZuneDriver
How to turn your Windows Phone 7 device into a USB drive (Image - 1) Now you will modify three entries (note, if you have multiple WP7 phones, you have to do it for each one)
* Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
* Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
* Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1
No restart is necessary. Simply plug your phone in and you should see the phone show up in Explorer. Close down the Zune desktop app in order to modify the files. As you can see, you now have access to music, images and videos, allowing you to copy/paste. You can put any file you want in there, but of course, you can't access them on the device (e.g. Office docs). Overall, a nice little trick.

This is promising. If this can be done on the phone end so that any Pc will read it as a usb drive, that would be great. Hopefully smart dialing is next

sorry duds , but this is the 3rd thread opened with the same story .
search before posting a new thread !

Software IFILE to blackstone

Hi guy’s
I wondering if some one of you know about a program called "ifile" or something like that
I don’t need to say the name of the phone where roun this software but is not from Microsoft (clear enough right?)
So, I would like to know if there exists the same program for HTC HD or something like it.
I talking about a program that makes possible to transfer files from the pc to the Blackstone BY WLAN and so on so far.
I mean that you just need to write the IP address in your pc at the explorer and that’s it
Thank very much
every addon file explorer like total commander (free) and resco explorer (commercial) have builtin lan support
it works much like windows' "map network drive" function and is very good, i myself i use it alot
you can even use, instead of ip addresses, the network names of the computers or browse through the whole network.
i MIGHT be wrong but it seems to me that even the default winmo file explorer can do such thing provided you install file explorer extensions (search on this forum you will eventually find them out and read about those)
some ideas
Hi. There are some options i can think of from the top of my head.
1
share a folder on your pc, access it from your device with your favorite browser (Total Commander).
2
read in about getting activesync going over wlan
3
mail stuff to your self and check it on your other device
4
try to find a web or ftp server for ppc
5
there might be some remote control software (you know, to control your ppc from pc, or take screensnaps etc) that is able to transfer files. I know there is a lot of remote progs available.
6
There is software available to browse ms networks from ppc, maybe there is some that puts your pcc right in there.
I´ll add more if I think of any.
Use Google.

Pcconnector app in marketplace

Just found it, did any one test it?
It claims to be able to connect to your pc web and exchange files.
My pc is down but trial app shows available space on the phone correctly.
Just having a quick play with it now. It seems to be able to create folders on your phone, although what use that is I'm not sure. Will see what happens
Nothing fancy going on here really. You can create a file explorer and do all kinds of file and folder manipulations in your apps isolated storage. You just can't manipulate anything outside of it.
Transferring files from your pc to phone and vice versa is rather simple to code. There's code samples on microsofts wp7 development forums.

Fair point but that means:
1. It shows you can have access to storage without zune and that is all in all step closer to proper file explorer
2. Bluetooth pictures, music or document transfer is possible by means of an app so some one might make one
3. Using your phone as flashdrive via usb can also be made to work via app

so for an eBook or comic book reader, they just have to make the reader able to import the files from the PC and store them in their own sandboxed area correct?

Yep seems that is the case.
It is very good news as that means we will have flashdrive apps or BT storage apps quite quick.
It will need to last till phone is hacked.
True... but you you won't be able to transfer files to/from the phone from any desktop computer.
Software will need to be installed on the desktop computer and the phone app needs to be setup to talk to that piece of software.
It is conceivable that somebody could write a single piece of software for desktops that could then communicate with any number of apps on the phone to transfer files between.

Well not exactly correct. With pcconnector yes but some smart person can make a app that takes control over usb and when you start it simulates flash drive rather then HTC HD7. USB knows what device is connected as that devices tells it what it is. All you need is a app that will say I am a X,Z or Y flash drive.
The same way original one worked diferance was it was showing SD card and for WP7 it would have to be a folder.

SmartDJ for non-US-countrys

After some "hacking" of my HD7 (RSPL, HSPL, CustomROM) I've installed the Registry Editor.
In "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Zune/SmartDj" there's a key named "LocalEnabled" which is (I'm in Germany) set to 0 (disabled). If I set it to 1 (enabled) and restart my phone it's back on 0.
Is there any way to persist a change like that?
Yep. I just did with the diagprovxml tool. I added a custom key - the path as party, localeenabled as key and 1 as value. Type is string. Applied it, saved it, checked if it works - it did. Rebooted and it is still here
I live in UK and have orange UK phone and since mango update smart DJ shows as default without touching registry. Smart DJ only works for Zune recognised artists (eg usually if it downloads artist pic) though shame.

Remote Control (OF ANDROID!!!)

DROWNING in Google and forum search results here. Good search terms, links, 'app' names, welcome.
(Drowning because I catch hits where the android remote controls another device, such as a TV, or a PC - instead of the other way around.)
It's becoming increasingly difficult to remotely help friends that use Android - mostly because I can neither see nor control their screens.
What's the best way / apps to go about setting this up?
NOTES:
this is NOT android acting as a remote control.
this is NOT android remote controling a PC
this IS remote controlling the ANDROID.
I have remote access to their network, be it via ssh or vnc. (From a 'privacy' perspective, it's only sense to get to their network, then get to their Android - i.e. Access to their stuff is under their control.)
wi-fi is up and happy. As is USB, for that matter.
the remote phone is NOT rooted.
I've come across, but have no opinion on (your opinions welcome):

Droid VNC server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc
VMLite VNC Server - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en (Has a process for non-root access. Better than nothing, I suppose.)

AirDroid suppose to be a good one, but didn't use it my self yet.

Remote Web Desktop looks like it has some interesting functionality, is pretty enough without being over the top (speaking as a guy who finds ssh, in colour, of course, adequately pretty), but is sufficiently broken to be not worth pursuing. Terminal isn't really there (e.g. su results in prompts of $ on one line, then # on next), web cam capture captures a still only, screen capture bears no resemblance / colour fix doesn't, ... uninstalled.
Companion or standalone Remote Control Add-On is through browser only, and at port 3389 of all things. [No RDP doesn't work, either.] Chrome / Opera / Firefox none works - says to install java, takes you to Oracle but not to what it wants. Not quite latest / greatest 6 installed beforehand and it still wants java installed. Not going back to 7, uninstalled that some while ago - will wait until it becomes real. App promises standard vnc connectivity at 5901 (why not 5900 I've no idea), but doesn't work. Netstat shows it isn't even listening.
Uninstalled ... next!

Webkey wouldn't stay up long enough for more than a few clicks in browser.
Service kept dying. Restart succeeded most of the time, but not always. Task manager exit and it came back up in those instances.
Uninstalled.
*Note to Selves: AdAway (can) run an internal web server (to catch / redirect web calls), and (by necessity) runs on standard ports, both www and https. So ... if you run another web catching app, it can't use those ports. [Not a problem for them to do so to date, but just so's you don't blame the app under test for not working when it's trying to listen on a port already taken by AdAway.]
- and you want to run the AdAway web server - better it give an immediate unreachable response than having to wait for the call(s) to time out.
Airdroid seems nice / capable enough, if a little 'fluffly.'
Separate ssh / samba / vnc apps seem a little simpler and cleaner - if more to configure.
Samba - 'Samba Filesharing' (edit smb.conf if you want root (as in /), although smb.conf now says modifications not supported.)
[If you modify / something breaks, go back to stock and see if it still breaks. Duh!]
VMLite VNC Server - not tried.
Pixel VNC Server Beta - sure is. Won't stay up. Connect attempt results in service failure [Error(3)] before first screen draw. (I see drawing initial screen message, then it drops.) Uninstalled. Looks to have the nicest / cleanest interface though. Just the facts / text, nothing goofy / fancy.
VNC server (wencent) and droid VNC server must use same code base - options/screens seem identical.
- both are slow (but better than nothing), both seem to take a number of restarts before picking up password / port changes, although the port it says it's at matches the port entered. e.g. it defaults to 5901, I changed to 5900, started, and it displayed 5900 but was actually listening on 5901. Note: Don't use special characters in password, such as '&' - plain text password storage in .xml file gets written wrong. Probably the cause of the startup / port / password misfires. YEP, I SAID *PLAIN* TEXT PASSWORD STORAGE. <sigh>
VNC server (wencent) blog page annoying, droid VNC 'nicer'. I noted to both to please put restart button on same page as on/off. No auto-rotate, so if you have to rotate (in settings), and since a restart is necessary to effect, a restart button would be useful.
droid VNC settings hint at (but broken / no worky / not what it is) at a reverse VNC connection. Which would be FANTASTIC! Your idiot friend out and about you can't get to, but he could call you at your known IP / forwarded listening port.
HTH.
Android control PC?
I have read the article http://flash-video-player.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-use-android-phone-to-remote.html and I just wonder if the apps here can support PC controlling Android phone.
I was looking for the same thing.. I have the Samsung Captivate and S3.
I tried the RemoteCall from Rsupport which I heard of them from Mobizen (same company). No rooting and standard ports (can't see it happening on a 8888..). It can control and gives you all the info.
One thing is that they charge 1600 for a year.. waaay too expensive for me.. they said discount is available for more than 1 license, but I guess that will apply to businesses.. not for individuals.. I will say Mobizen is so far the solution for me.
Installed VMLite VNC Server. Works great on my not-rooted phone. I had to install libncurses5:i386 on my amd64 ubuntu to work with adb. It would be better if I could change the resolution of the phone's image. Should be cheaper.
Thanks, i am using webkey. it's a very nice app. :good:
team viewer versus airdroid
Hello everyone. Sorry mi english is not very good
I am doing proyect that I have to install a device ( samsung s4 ) 5km away from home and run an app on it to trigger a foto camera.
Team viewer do that but you have to be in the device to accept the conexion remote, so is no suitable for me at this point. Airdroid dont ask for permision to conect to the device , which is excelent , but I can not run an app inside the device in remote, so is no ok for me at this point.
The question is : how can I open an app to control the camera from the device in remote whith out me beside to the device?? Is there an app to do that??
How can I avoid in team viewer to ask permision to acces to the device??
Is posible to do something about it ??
I am not talking about the camera in the device , I am talking about a camera which is conected to my device by a cable at the same time and trigger and control the camera setings from km´s away via Lan conection 3g.
Thank you all
Marcos

if you have the same problem like me with the droid vnc server (connect but can't control it) the droid vnc server will help to conect to teamviewer quicksupport without someone to accept you. the video i make will show you how.
i cant add link so you have to find it by searching in youtube: connect to teamviewer quicksupport using droid vnc server to get access
Be careful with webkey, it send personal data...
I have tested 'Droid VNC server' and it requires root. I couldn't use it without that.
I have a FREE complicated solution without root.
Screen output:
while sleep .01 ; do convert -depth 8 -size 1280x1280 rgba:/dev/graphics/fb0'[0]' -rotate 90 -crop 1280x720+0+0 bmp:/scard/b.bmp ; mv /scard/b.bmp /sdcard/c.bmp ; echo -n . ; done
It works for my padfone 2, without padfone station. On any linux, you can sshfs your phone, and access /sdcard/c.bmp that way.
It should be run as the user adb, use adb shell from a PC connected by USB to access it, then adb forward to access to the sshd running on the phone.
If you want this to continue after disconnection, you should run tmux first.
I uploaded working binaries for bash, convert, scp and sshd on gentooandroid.sf.net ; tested on Android 4.1 and Android 4.4.
The difficult part on secured Android 4.4 is to find a place not mounted noexec where to put the binaries.
Mouse click on pixel position 300 300:
/system/bin/input tap 300 300
Text input:
/system/bin/input text yourtext
Home button:
/system/bin/input keyevent 62

Anyone trying to automate this (with "Automate" from google play) or connect that to a VNC server, please report progress !
thx so much for that thread, i spend hours googling this.
i am actually trying webkey.
what i want to do primarily is control volume on android, as my device acts as a webradio (connected to the stereo via headphone jack).
I use droid vnc to start up "tunein radio" . that works fine. BUT it is way to slow to adjust volume, PLUS there are no keys to adjust volume, so i have to go to a quicksetting - volume - and adjust via mous. btw it only takes keyboard inputs if they are followed by a left-mouse-click... alt-d and alt-u dont work.
i also tried a ssh server on android and control volume via
"input keyevent 24"
and
"input keyevent 25"
which workes for a while, but then has no effect any more
vnc connection is crap, as my phone is an old samsung s2 - to slow.
acutally i am looking for the uri to send to the webkey server to adjust volume, so i wouldnt have to go over the website any more. - seems its websocket calls, so i will have to make some python implementation, as i dont know jscript.
-- btw, you can send volume event over ssh like this, but i dont know why it takes seconds for the device to react:
on the console:
input keyevent 24
input keyevent 25
Use automate to change volume
Automate from Google play can change the volume according to a change of file in a clould (or any other method you like).
Minimal asking of permission, this is a good thing.
Beware, Automate is free only for up to 30 "lines" of program, but just changing the volume is like 10 "lines" of program only.

[Q] Autorun Desktop? (skipping modern ui)

Hi everyone!
I have already tried to find the answer to my question on the forum but failed. I want my Asus VivoTab RT run Desktop automatically after reboot of the system. As I understand Autorun folder doesn't work and there is no point to put anything there. Also I looked through the forum and spotted that apps can be autorun via some registry key. So is there any clue to make Desktop start automatically after reboot of the system? This method for 8 doesn't work on RT. Thanks!
There's a better way to use the Winlogon\Shell registry value, using what I believe is the "Show Desktop" task GUID for Explorer as a shortcut. I can't find the link at this moment, though. There's also a method that uses a Scheduled Task instead.
Why does it even matter? I mean, who reboots a tablet? It'll sit for a week in sleep mode even off the charger, and the first thing you want to do at boot-up is probably run something anyhow... alternatively, Win+D or just tap the Desktop tile (I put it in the corner so I can reach it quickly with my thumb, but almost never actually use it).
