Develop Bugs

YATA10P (Yet Another Thread About 10 Posts): What are my options?

I don't wanna spam the forum, but before I can contribute I'm required to make 10 posts... I already feel a bit ridiculous for making this thread, but hoping that either an admin can move part of my post to the section where I would have posted it if I could or for someone to amaze me with insight.
Background
I just created an account now, so that I could contribute with knowledge in the LG Optimus 2X development section to a specific thread [HOW-TO] Root stock Gingerbread on Optimus 2X (P990) for Dummies only to be greatly disappointed that I won't be able to bring my knowledge to the table.
What I would have added to the thread
I've just successfully rooted my o2x as well, but only several different attempts. Thus I'm posting to shed light on the following.
USB ports matter?
Path to directory matter?
What made it work for me was, renaming and moving the directory to C:\NV and using a different USB port. Thus, I can't tell if it was the USB port or the placement that did the trick, but it matters! Before it was located in Downloads (Windows 7). I'm not sure if my laptop has an internal USB hub. The port I ended up using was an USB 2.0 compared to USB 3.0.

How to solve the The Sims 3 texture bug.

I don't know if anyone here have already posted it, if so please delete this thread.
If not, read what's following.
Here is a little trick I found on BadaDownload (which goes all the credits), and it consists in replacing a particular file.
First of all you must have a Samsung Wave GT-S8500/8530
You also must have an External Memory
And.. you must have The Sims 3 installed on the External Memory.
Now click the following link and download the file res.dz (25.1MB approximately): http://bit.ly/wxCMLX
When your download is complete take your Wave in your hand and select: Menù -> Settings -> Connectivity -> USB Connection -> Mass Storage
and connect your Wave to your PC.
Open the External Memory and follow this path: \Others\[email protected]@[email protected]@__\n4166zq8ri\Data
Inside this folder you'll fine a file named res.dz (about 21MB). Just replace this file with the one downloaded before.
All done!
Disconnect your Wave and play The Sims 3 to see what's changed.
Here's a little suggestion

Thanks it works perfectly for me.

Thanks. Excellent work.

[HOW-TO] Hook up a usb-powered external hard drive to your GNex

I searched a long time for a solution and now that I've found it, I thought someone else might enjoy it as well..
So the problem was that I want to move stuff in and out of the phone while travelling. Hooking up a memory stick OTG didn't provide enough space and AC-powered external hard drives are rather huge with their power bricks. I also tried a usb-powered drive but apparently the phone does not give out enough power.. not on its own!
The solution is to use a usb-powered external hard drive, with a DOUBLE USB to mini-USB (or whatever the drive uses as a plug) cable. Plug the first USB into a USB OTG / micro-USB -adapter and then to your phone. Then plug the second USB to your phone charger! Ok so you have to carry around the charger, but its quite small and is useful on its own!
The solution might need a few pictures to clarify:

}
The mounting and file systems are then another issue and probably more phone and/or ROM-specific, but the physical concept should hopefully work for everyone. I couldnt get NTFS working with StickMount but then I tried USB OTG helper, and that did it for me!

What about hfs+ support?

I found it was much easier to do this..

In Windows Device Manager - "SAMSUNG_Android"

Note the attached screen shot of the Device Manager on a brand new Windows 10 64 Bit machine when a Verizon Note 10+ 5G is connected to the PC's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C jack with the cable that comes from Samsung with their 45W charger. Everything works perfectly including connectivity with the PC's file manager to access the files on the phone. It's just that I am a somewhat spoiled perfectionist techie and not sure why I am getting this. I've searched and haven't found any "driver's" (even though it appears everything is natively supported).
Any thoughts? My phone is not named "SAMSUNG_Android" - so that is a default designation...

When I connect my device, it appears as "samsung sm-975F"

Mine is SM-976V... And, drum roll.... Does the Device Manager say there are no driver's for it on your PC?

Resolved -
I hadn't put ADB yet on my phone but duh -

Free app to file transfer via Bluetooth

Blueft - File Transfer via Bluetooth is a free app to transfer files both directions.
No need extra app on phone. Blueft is standalone app. I was able to transfer files
to my computers (Win 7 and Win 10), Raspberry PI 3 and all phones and receive files from all devices.
Morever, if you are a tizen devloper you can use it to share files produced by your app and pick up files from Tizen system.

The author of the app is friend of mine and allows me to put info about this app. If you need more info about using app or developing share/pick operations
I will try to help you.

thanks mate, I will try it out

Now improved and still FREE https://galaxy.store/bluetrans

I'll try it, thank you

Hello. Unfortunately not all Galaxy devices can access the app through the store. Its the most frustrating thing. Can you please give us a link to download it manually. Also could some others share with us some USEFUL .wgts apps. Clocks and watch faces not needed. File transfer file explorers actual useful .wgts like this fellow has with his Bluetooth app. I have a TabA and gearS and find no way for them to talk to each other. Ironically both galaxy devices.
