[WFX] Android ADB 8.8

[cmlx]

I think this adbKeyboard for Android Devices is a good idea, and wonder wfx plugin can do similar work except share clipborad.

For Non busybox ls, ls -l -a can be used to display hidden files.
It works on my Xperia S.

Perhaps it's a workaround for this.

6.0:
- New: ADB Helper added (special app installed to Android device to provide clipboard and other features, first launch and installation might take a bit longer)
- New: Clipboard support (via ADB Helper)
- New: APK information provided via ADB Helper (APK does not need to be downloaded to PC to get the information and icon!)
- Update: Non busybox ls cannot use "ls -la" because older versions of Android do not support the param, we have to use "ls -l" which does not display hidden files - no way to work around this
- Update: ADB binaries updated

Yes it works on newer Android versions but definitely not working on Android 2.3 so I cannot add the "a" param unfortunately

Got it.
BTW: Can it be added as an option? So we can manually turn it on for newer Android versions.

Hi, i'm really new with configuration of TC, how can i install this plugin? Where should i to copy the files? Thx for answers

[buttie]

Just open the file with TC, it will ask if you'd like to install plug-in and where. Just stay with default path.

[humb20]

Can anyone please explain to me how to install and uninstall an app with this plugin? Once I upload an apk file to the phone or tablet, the only way to install it going to it with TC for Android and tapping it. I see no way to do it from the PC using this plugin. Thanks.

You have to copy .apk to .apps (or \data\app that's virtually the same) folder. If you want to install system app you have to copy it to \system\app folder.

Hi, I recently noticed that large files (e.g. movies) are not copied directly to the external sd-card, but seem to stick to some internal space (which I could not trace down yet) before being moved to their final destination on the external sd-card.
Now I have the case that the second of two 330MB files is not reaching its final destination but seems stuck in the buffer - weird.

Device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (GT-P3110)

Edit: found it - It is copied to a temp file in \mnt\sdcard\<tempname>.tmp and then shall be moved/renamed to its final destination. Not ok when the external card is at mnt/extSdCard and not at mnt/sdcard.

Hello. please, help me.
The device rooted & listed in devmgr. ADB.EXE itself works (I can use shell, install/remove apps, copy files, etc). but plugin does not connect to my device.
There is log, when I'm trying connect from plugin:

Code: Select all

2013-03-31 14:20:43 [0AC4] Connecting to ADB server...
2013-03-31 14:20:43 [0AC4] ADB Binary: "adb.exe" "devices"
2013-03-31 14:20:43 [0AC4] Could not connect

On early versions it worked.

How to list the file that filename start with "."?
e.g.

I also noticed that bug, files like .nomedia not showing, and I hope it will get fixed soon.

This is not a bug but a "ls" command behavior. Change to busybox listing in Options and it will work.

6.3
- New: Add shortcut to launcher for newly installed APK - new option and feature added
- Update: ADBHelper upgrade procedure - checks for version and installs new if required
- Update: ADBHelper - support for launcher shortcut icons added

Basically the new version creates launcher/home screen shortcut of newly installed APKs (applications). Something I really missed and find it very useful

I still see with 6.3 that files are pushed to sdcard first and then moved.
The final confirmation on TC is only given after the second part (mode from \sdcard to \extSdCard) is done as well.
Is this 2-fold sequential copy needed or could you not better push directly to the target partition?
Same applies also when copying to \data - files go first to \sdcard and then get moved.
Large copies could be much faster if the 2.nd step could be avoided.
