Has anyone gotten droid explorer to work with the galaxy nexus?
It detects my device just fine but no files actually show up.
if i do screencast i can see all the files but not actually do anything with them.
Is there a way to get it to work because standard windows MTP doesn't give me the full access i need.
If not is there another program that will work?
If you feel like going old school you can do it with ADB via the command line. Droid Explorer essentially uses the ADB server to interact with the phone.
To view the file structure type: adb shell ls -l
To put files on the sdcard put the file in the same folder as adb.exe and type: adb push <filename> <location on phone>
To remove files from the device use: adb pull <location on phone> <location on pc>
You need to have root to get to file folders outside of /sdcard.
is there a way to get droid explorer or a similar program to work? cmd adb isn't efficient for the amount of files i would like to transfer.
Well i switch from stock rom to a custom 4.0.3 and now droid explorer works so i guess that answers that question. Thanks.

I'm trying to pull the keylayout file so I can wake up my desire with the menu button, but I am struggling
here is the command I read in another thread -
adb-nilezon pull /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl c:\
I try ./adb and that command but it doesnt recognize the "nilezon" part.
also I have to change the c:\ part, but what to?
I can do simple adb commands like list the devices etc, and I am rooted.
Thanks for any help!
It depends what your adb file is named, if it's adb, then ./adb, if it's adb-mac then start command with ./adb-mac
its adb i think, hence why i can do basic adb commands
does anyone know how to push pull files on a mac?
I've done it - it anyone wants to know - i put a ./ before adb, removed the -nilezon part and removed the c:/ part.
then i dragged a folder into terminal, (the folder i wanted the file im pulling to end up in) this will copy the path of that folder into terminal, instead of the c:/ part.
Depends on which adb you're using. If you're using the one included with the SDK, then it should just be ./adb pull. If you're using it in recovery (with Paul's or ahmgsk's), it should be ./adb-mac pull.
The guides/walkthroughs seem to cover windows but I use OS X...are there any guides/walkthroughs to root a G2 using OS X?
I'm getting frustrated
Which guide are you trying to follow? Most of them require/mention adb, but the android SDK is available for Mac, so you should be able to get adb.
It should all work the same on a Mac. All you're doing on the PC/Mac end is using adb to send stuff over to your phone. The adb guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685 has some stuff in there (which I still need to work on) about getting adb working on the Mac (see later replies).

I have got got adb working, I put the android_sdk folder at the root of my macs hard drive. I figured out I have to put "./" infront of adb to execute commands, and I have gotten it to recognise my device.
But where I am stumped is, where do I unzip the temp and perm root folders to, onto the desktop or into somewhere in the android sdk folder?
Also do need to have two terminals running, 1 navigated to adb and the other to the unzipped folders?
Or do I do something completely different?

I think the common way is to unzip or move the files to your Android_sdk/tools folder so that adb and the files are in the same directory.
Another way would be to use the full path in the adb command:
adb push /users/bobby/desktop/gfree_unzipped/gfree /data/local/
you should change it to match your actual directory structure
The slick way is to add android_sdk/tools to your path so that it will work at any direectory level.
Either way, you should only need 1 terminal window (Unless you are trying to verify you have radio s-off- the last bit that starts with "stop ril-daemon")

That helped me out perfectly, I just rooted my G2, YAY!
Thank you everyone for your help
Is it possible for me to just take the mms.apk from a gb rom and install it on my current asop rom without any issues ?
My current rom doesnt use the asop mms.apk and I want to go back to it
Also if its possible and someone has that mms.apk can you please post it
Here You go! The file's attached. I recommend it to install it with ADB. You may also use (I think) something like Root Explorer, which I don't use, because it is a paid app Here I present you a free way to do it.
How to do it? Here (I'm assuming you use Windows):
1) First make sure You install Your phone's USB drivers in your system
2) Then download Android's SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
3) Don't really remember how it went after Installation, but you should have an "android-sdk-windows" folder (assuming you use Windows). Put it on your Desktop.
4) Enable USB Debugging in your phone (Under Applicaions -> Development in Settings). Then connect your phone to PC via USB
5) Do a WinKey+R combo. "Run" window should appear. Type
Code:
cmd
and hit Enter.
6) A black console should appear. Type:
Code:
cd Desktop
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools
dir
you should be able to do a bunch of files, including adb.exe. If you don't, you either messed up folder names or didn't put android sdk folder in your Desktop.
7) Now (in normal Windows Explorer) move Mms.apk to your platform-tools folder inside android-sdk-windows.
8) Now, in console do:
Code:
adb start-server
adb remount (if at this point it says "no device found" you either screwed up your phone's USB drivers, or USB connection, or something else, no idea)
adb shell
9) Now type:
Code:
cd /system/app
cp Mms.apk Mms.apk.bak (to backup your current messaging app, in case something goes wrong, you just do the opposite - cp Mms.apk.bak Mms.apk)
exit
10) Now type:
Code:
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk (should say it's fine)
adb kill-server
Remove your phone from USB, reboot it. Should be done just fine.
Thanks so much warnec!
Im hoping this solves my delayed sms problem with htc messaging app.
Also, i installed this on my Incredible S with revolution hd 2.3.3, and sometimes it force closes, is this normal?
Regards
I realize the phone uses MTP now which IMO is a complete downgrade from the whole Android experience when it comes to moving the files you want.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to move a 1.5 GB file (Nandroid backup) to my desktop without going over wi-fi since that will take... I don't even know how long. I let it sit for about 35 minutes, and it only got to about 90 MB.
I have 3 freaking folders I need to view to get my Nandroids, but I can't get to them due to the fact that I can't access them any other way than Wi-Fi. Seriously, what can I do to make these stupid folders show up in MTP?! I've tried moving them and renaming them and putting them in different directories that show up in Windows, and I can't see them at all.
What do I have to honestly do? This is just ridiculous.
you could always use "adb pull". It'll be slow (that's just how ADB is) but you'll be able to do it.
use it like this:
Code:
adb pull <Nandroid File> <to this directory>
for example:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/thisfile.zip thisfolder
will create a folder named "thisfolder" in your platform-tools folder (where ADB is located) with thisfile.zip inside it.

Sorry for posting stupid questions: Even windows based apps like myphoneexplorer don´t work, do they?
Do ever know some app which could see data on watches? I find only "File Manager For Android Wear" but it could see only file on sw on watches but how to copy/paste/delete files form/to watches to/from PC or android?
Adb would work.
ADB commands
Thank you for answer but I don´t know right commands or functions for ADB please could you help me with this?
Thank you very much.
Certainly,
So, first you have to enable adb on the watch. To do so, go to settings then about then tap the build number a bunch of times. Then, go to developer settings and enable adb debugging.
Then you need to set up adb on your computer. It is a little involved, but there are directions online. I can help with this, but is a topic for another post. Let me know if you need it.
Okay, you have adb and you have enabled it on the watch.
Now, just plug the watch into the computer. If you are on Windows and did not add adb to your path, open the platform-tools folder in Windows explorer. Type cmd in the explorer bar and it should open a terminal window.
Okay, now the commands are easy. I have not done this on the watch yet, but this should work.
First, to ensure that adb is working, type...
Code:
adb devices
You should see a string which represents your watch.
It may say unauthorized. If so, look at your watch, and authorize adb.
Code:
adb ls /
This will list the contents of your root directory.
Unless you are rooted, you cannot write to this folder, but you can now read the contents of the watch. I am assuming you want to put music or some such on your watch, so navigate to your sdcard...
Code:
adb ls /sdcard/
And you should see the contents of your sdcard (even though your watch does not have an sdcard, it should have a partition on the internal memory called sdcard). This is where you can put your files.
If you are new to terminal, you can easily get back to the last commands by pressing the up arrow at the prompt.
Now, once you find a place to put your digital goodies, you can run this command.
Code:
Adb push (local file, files, or folders) (folder on the watch where you want them to live)/
replace the words in parenthesis as well as the parenthesis, with the full paths. There are shortcuts here too.
Use the up arrow to get the path on the watch, and then...
You can drag a file from Windows explorer to the terminal window to get the local path. Drop it before the path on the watch.
Let me know if this does not work or you have questions...
Good luck.
Leko
Edit: I tried it and modified my instructions based on the specifics of our watch. This does work.
Thanks
This is exactly what I want to know Great work. Thanks a lot.
Total Commander plugin
It works great I am Total Commander user and plugin is alredy exist

Wonderful! I am glad it helped. Total commander is an excellent idea. Now we have a gui way to do this.
