I installed it yesterday, but could not login nor create a blur account. This will solve the problem? Just change it and save? Do i have to reboot?
Thanks a lot! If i can't login in the motoblur, i think i gonna try CM7 RC1.5. Stock rom with no Blur functions have nothing to offer to me.
Update:
Changed, rebooted and still the same issue. Blur ask me to try again latter...
I'm using ms2ginger 1.0, installed yesterday night. The host entry in build.prop let's me login, I can access Twitter/Facebook in universal Messages app and set social status. I can't browse updates from friends etc though. Is this related?
[edit]
Social Networking retrieved some updates from Facebook then stopped, weird.

Ms2ginger is rom based on leaked china Milestone 2 rom build (4.5.3 - 63)
This tip is rom Based on Leaked ginger 4.5.1-134 (MB526)
sorry, i don`t speak English well
Ok, it seems to be problem with ms2ginger. I'm using 4.5.1.-134 now and your changes didn't work. I copied same entries from ms2ginger build.prop and it works now. Had to create new account though.
thx, will try it out, some guys in germany reported, that they got blur-message on mb525 flashed to 526 that their blur-account will be deactivated because of using unofficial rom
Update: with said build.prop, Facebook works and Twitter doesn't (Twitter account error, sometimes it doesn't throw errors but doesn't update anyway). Didn't test other social networks.
editing build.props
I'm trying to patch up my build.props and have got as far as connecting to my phone via adb. However I keep getting permission denied. I seem unable to 'su' to change the permissions on the file or remount.
Is there a simple guide to editing this file? I've tried searching the forums, but nothing jumps out at me.
Thanks
Terminal Emulator
I managed to figure it out by using Terminal Emulator available for free from the market place.
1. Edited the file on my pc and then copied it onto the sdcard on the phone.
2. Used terminal emulator to remount the file system as writeable and backed up / copied over the build.prop.
Afterwards I remounted as readonly and rebooted, managed to get a motoblur account and facebook appears to be syncing.

If I make the changes in build.prop for these values, I'll be able to create a new motoBLUR account, and all the data sync would work again? I lost my motoBLUR account after receiving a system notice that I was using an unreleased ROM.

With the above build.prop my Facebook contacts sync doesn't work. Posts sync seems to be working though.
Hey Guys!
Using 2.3.4-134, I edited my buildprop file as mentioned above and everything was working fine until my Motoblur news widget stopped syncing 4 days ago... My guess is that Motorola found out that I was using a non-official rom, even with an edited buildprop...
Now there is an official rom (not leaked) for the Defy+, would it be possible to use its official buildprop data to make sure that Motoblur will work?
Thanks for your assistance!
I'm running MIUI XJ XPART (latest 1.11). Anyone else experiencing the following problem (it's present for last few versions, but now it's really making me mad ): using ES file manager, setting custom FTP/LAN servers and views - everything OK for some time, then opening it it reverts to default settings (view and all my FTP servers gone? ).
Could it be MIUI too agressive with RAM management or something else?

if you are using FTP/LAN to transfer files from pc to mobile device via WiFi, why dont you use the built in File Explorer FTP server option? correct me if i have not understood your question.
You've understood me well
But there are some cases when I can't use it (ie firewall issues, not the same LAN etc)... and I'm curious to find out why is that happening.
ES is the only program I've encountered problems with, and it seems like a fresh install when it occurs. I've tried using Astro, but I don't like it

may be you can address it in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19434249" along with the logcat which might have some info on the issue hopefully . i believe there is app available to get the log file.
below is the command to get the log using adb from command prompt by connecting your device to the pc. you should have android-sdk.
prompt> adb logcat > log1.txt
Hello everyone,
I need help with a very peculiar problem that has popped up recently. Before, I was able to stream video files on my external hard drive connected to my Windows 7 PC, both through CIFS and SMB through ES File Explorer. Yesterday, I found that I can do neither! It is frustrating because all my shows are on the external hard drive. Here are the error messages I get through SMB and CIFS:
SMB: I generally like SMB better because it is less buggy and doesn’t require kernel support. Before, I could access the external HDD through my PC’s IP but now I cannot seem to connect to the external HDD or any folders I’ve shared that is on the external HDD. It is weird because I can connect to shared folders that are on the local HDD via SMB, just not the external HDD. When I try to connect to the external HDD an error message pops up saying “cannot connect” along with a list of possible reasons:
1. Wifi is off (it's not)
2. SMB server is out of network scope (??)
3. The IP is invalid (uhhh I can browse the IP)
4. Blocked by the firewall (maybe... how do I fix?)
5. SMB service is off (why would it be off for only external HDD?)
CIFS: This one is even weirder. When I try to mount it I get a “out of memory” error. WTF??? Again this error only occurs on external HDDs.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing the android phone or maybe fixing something in Windows 7?
What kernel are you running? I can use ES File Explorer without an issue however I believe CIFS has to be in the kernel and I think most kernels do not include it. I don't know why since it would be handy. Certainly would for me. I've never found a definite answer to why CIFS is not cooked in with kernels.
If I recall correctly, CIFS support is implemented in the very latest Trinity kernel, Alpha56. You can check the Der Kernel thread in the Dev section for more info.
Hi XDAs !
I've been looking extensively on the web and these forums for a solution but could not come up with anything. If there's already a thread/solution and i missed it - just help me out with the link and I'll instantenously close this topic.
Preface: The folders of my mac and android are already synchronized via cloud (Dropsync & Boxcryptor). But this solution does not cover my requirement for speed - syncing a couple of GB takes ages which is not acceptable.
AirDrop and Cheetha only synchronize via WiFi which I want to avoid (unsecure netzworks and airdrop costs etc...)
So I figured out a workaround: enable the note 8 in mass storage mode and just use a mac based tool for the job. Unfortunately USB Mass storage enable does not work with the Note 8. Android File Transfer does not support automatical synchronization of any kind.
Is there a solution for my problem (may be MTP based)?
Thanks
Am i really the only one looking for that possibility?
has no one really tried to bring USB Mass Storage to the Note 8, yet? Except for the guys behind the app USB Mass Storage Enabler (which does not work for the Note 8).
Solution
Since no one here seems to have a solution I want to share mine.
Atm. there's just a workaround for USB Synchronization of Folders: setup a FTP.
1. Download the App FTPServer for Android (you have to install an ADB Server)
2. Utilize a program like GoodSync for the atual job

I finally upgraded from lollipop to N910VVRU2CPJ2. I used to be able to connect to my phone over wifi using FTP Server. That no longer works. I had similar issues with other phones and tried SSHDroid instead. When I try to connect as SFTP using Filezilla, it says "Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server." Is there something preventing connections like a firewall?
EDIT: Somehow, FTP is working now, but SFTP is still broke. BTW, the internal storage is "/sdcard" but doesn't show up in the directory listing for "/".
