Browser uploads

I did all the searching I could before posting this so I hope my first thread doesn't turn out to be a fail. Firstly I got root on my phone the other day and installed the Magic image and it works really well!
My question is does anyone know if browser uploads can be enabled somehow through root? I have a torrent server setup at a friends ISP and it would be really nice to be able to upload torrent files to it on the go. Is this currently possible or is there anyone currently trying to get it working?

you might rename this thread to something like Torrent/Browser Uploads .. there may be other people looking for info on this .. i honestly have no clue .. there is only one other thread talking about torrent connections and that's via tethering .. so there could be some connection

happy reading!

I guess I should elaborate, what I am talking about specifically is when you go to a page with an upload form, where you would normally select a file it just says "Uploads Disabled".
I'm not actually trying to do torrents on the phone, I essentially just want to upload a file over the browser.

Have you tried with the steel browser?

Most likely uploads like that are blocked by the carrier. If they allowed that it would bog down their network and slow everyone else down. The only uploads permitted are pictures to like facebook or myspace.

Well if i remember quite correct , it also says "UPLOAD DISABLED" when surfing via WIFI ..
Its more due to the fact that the G1 has no file browser by default and the published one doesnt go deep enough into the system (aka the browser just dont recognize them) ... :-Z
//EDIT:
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467209
i also mailed the Steel and the Linda File Manager developer about this issue

What torrent application are you running on this server? BarTor handles torrent uploads to several popular torrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent). If it's not one of those, we can certainly look into supporting the client you are using. I realize this is not quite the same as what you are asking for but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

This sucks .. for each site and upload a different app <.<

Huh? BarTor is one app, which enables download of torrent files from anywhere and upload to anywhere that is running one of the supported torrent download clients. It was only a suggestion as an option for darrin0101.
I get what you are saying though, and if this post was not specifically about torrent uploading, I'd probably not have commented at all. I wonder why no one has recompiled the browser with a file manager, or to use an existing one? I'd do it if I didn't have to download the entire android source to do it...

Well, i would if i could more than php and mysql ^^
I don't know if a filemanager can take the role for this because i dont know if the browser has a pick file hook
further this should be for nonrooted android users as well
But i would'nt say no to a fix for this only for rooted users :>

Just set up an FTP server on the remote system, and use one of the FTP clients on the market for uploading? uTorrent allows for automatic loading of new torrents in a specific folder.

Oh, and shall i upload pictures to websites this way too?
attach files to rapidshare this way too?
attach files at a forum this way too?
and so on..

has there been any progress on this yet? i would like to be able to upload pictures to my site, which is wordpress powered so i have an upload form.

Maybe give loccy a ring and see if he knows how.

I doubt that's doable granted it would probably involve modifying objects in the Browser.apk, so the people who would be able to use it on their phones would be the rooted users who can push modified browsers to their Android phones.

U have to use the oprea browser it let u upload anything.

i don't like opera too much, granted it works for this issue but the ui is ugly imho. besides i'm a bit ocd and i prefer to have the original pieces of software but working the way they should have been from the start. which usually means modding the stuff that came on the phone

i couldnt get opera to work on www.youtube.com

youtube.com probably won't work with any browser, at least until java for android comes out. why not just use the youtube app?

Anyone try this yet?

I installed it this morning, was pretty excited. However, it doesnt navigate to downloaded .torrent files on your sd. It says "to begin, use the browser to open a torrent file" but I cant seem to get my browser to just open a torrent file. Not sure if I'm not doing something correctly, or if the app is garbage. Anyone else?

Decided to try it out myself. I had no problems with using the browser to get torrents. Only problem i seem to have is that torrents from private trackers wont start.

for the people who have used it....is it worth getting? dont feel like buying then returning it if i dont like it...

trying it now seeing how it works

I've got it working now. Torrent wont start though, downloaded from mininova.

yea I have the same problem

in its current form its not worth getting, i can get nothing to actually download.... maybe will get fixed with updates

You all say its not worth it at the moment, does anyone else have an alturnative Android seriously seems to be lacking one atm.

can anyone post the logcat output from when this is running? I'm curious to see if there are any error messages when you cant connect.

It says FOSS but I don't seem to be able to find the sources for this.

I just run rtorrent in Debian on my phone. Works like a charm.

Hi guys!
I made this!
I added an update today which should fix that private tracker thing. It was a problem with port collisions.. my fault.
Let me know if you have any more problems, feedback is appreciated. Source is coming, just need to clean it up..
Rich

If you're having specific problems, please send me the actual .torrent, your location, your network connectivity and your build.
Some people are claiming that it says they don't have space, but I can't recreate this bug and I'm wondering if it's a custom build thing.
Rich
[email protected]

mine says the same thing about there not being enough space. Im wondering if its not pointing to the SD cards location?

Fixed that bug.

anotherbittorrent client abtc
I started using the program about a week ago and found out that if u use btjunkie website most will start to download. I have had a problem with the downloads stopping and not resuming. U can only download one torrent at a time. If while downloading u plug in your phone to charge the torrent will quit downloading. I can't wait till the software gets a couple more updates. Then I probley will start passing 25gig a month downloaded thru tmobile.

This app still does not download anything for me. I just tried dowloading Ubuntu with it.

Copy-Protected Apps in Market with 3rd Party ROMS

Is there any workaround...?

Whats the problem ?
All the apps i have ever bought / downloaded, via the market work fine.

I believe this is what he's talking about
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=107185eea74e4005&hl=en
http://androinica.com/2009/02/23/some-paid-apps-unavailable-on-unlocked-phones/
It appears that as of February, Google made it so whenever a developer selects the "Copy Protected" option when listing their application on the marketplace, that application will not appear for any rooted phone or developer phone. Basically it seems they did this because a rooted or developer phone can extract the APK file after purchasing an app, and then return it while still keeping the application.
I recently became aware of this today as I was working with a developer to determine why his application would not appear in the market. It's a shame - the majority of the root community is not out there to STEAL apps, we support our developers, I was trying to find his application on the market so I could BUY it. I really wanted to purchase the application and now I have no way to do it, simply because I wanted to use my phone to it's full extent instead of being stuck on the stock firmware.

Any example of apps not showing up on the market for us?

Search for the application Accudial on the market. It's copy protected. I get 0 results. Thats the one Example I am aware of but it also could be related to the fact that I'm on a 2.0.1 ROM instead of the older ones, switching back to test again. It's kind of hard to determine whether or not there are apps being hidden from us, if we don't know the app exists how are we gonna know it's hidden from our results?

It's because your on a Eclair rom..just searched on the WG 10 (Donut) and got AccuDial and AccuDial Free

Yeah I'm switching back to the latest CM ROM right now. But when I was running 2.0.1/Eclair, I was trying to download an application designed for 2.0 and it did not appear in the market - the developer said the only requirement he placed on it was that the phone be 2.0 or higher, so we came to the conclusion that it was the copy protection blocking the app.
But regardless of that - what about those links in my first post? Google Employees reply in those articles openly admitting that access to copy protected apps have been blocked from rooted and dev phones. Did Google quietly "undo" this between now and then? I can't find anything that says they did.

They did lift the "block", I know of at least 2 protected apps that I can use, Nesoid and Mobile Defense (not protected anymore but it ised to be)

Right now, I can only find Accudial Free but not Accudial. I'm on Cyan 4.2.9.1.
Maybe that's because I'm not in the US??? Or that I don't have a Google Checkout account???
Thanks!

The fair labor standards act was passed in 1938. Still in effect today. Just because Google made the change 10 months ago doesn't mean it suddenly was removed.. Whenever I search on the topic all I can find is info that says that access to copy protected apps been disallowed, can't find any article that mentions them removing the block.
I'm not saying it hasn't been removed, but it's kind of hard for me to know whether or not i'm being blocked from applications, I don't know what ones are copy protected and what ones aren't, or if theyre being blocked from me, because they simply wouldn't show up and I wouldn't even know they exist.
If the block has in fact been removed, it'd be nice to see if anyone could find an article that mentions it. Everything online talks about the block being placed

Search Nesoid, that is a protected app. If you see the paid version then they lifted the block

Edit 2: Market Enabler works by mimicking certain APNs, be sure to backup your current APN first and restore it after getting the apps (it can be done within Market Enabler).

Little help please...

I did use the search function, so let me get that out of the way.
I'm trying to find the apk for Citizen Sports app, Live Scores. I loved Sportacular on the iPhone, and was overjoyed when I found out they had an Android app as well. My problem is this, Android Market, QR codes, cnet downloads, I can't seem to find the file to put this little gem on my MyTouch. I had it once before, but since I've rooted it, I can't find it anywhere!
If someone can direct me to where I can download it (it's a free app), or possibly post an attachment, so long as it doesn't break any of XDA's rules, please help! I want my sports fix back!
Thanks ahead of time!

found live scores in the market place, its what you have described and is published by citizen sports

I understand the app exists, I've even had it installed on the phone once before. My problem is, I've rooted it since then, and now, as a result, I am no longer able to locate it (app market, online sources, etc.). I'm just asking if anyone has a means to point me towards the .apk file, so I can install if from my sd card, or on the device's browser.

not sure why you cannot see the app, i can see it, i downloaded it and installed it also.
i guess i can extract it from my phone and save the apk for you, PM me and i'll zip and email it to you.

I have been searching all over for this application. I use a Moto Milestone on the AT&T network and since it is not a "standard" phone I can not see this in the market. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
-Thanks

You Version Bible app dead?

I know this app has been discussed long ago but I can't find the reference, so I need to start another thread
I've installed this in the past because it really is so much easier than trying to search through the entire epub for something. But I was not able to download the version I wanted (was greyed out or something), couldn't find any old references, and so eventually deleted it. The version I am using is labeled 1288193153_Bible_2.4.1.apk
Now when I install it I get lots of server communication error messages and never any content. I also cannot see offline options. Always the server communication errors. Refresh does not help.
Does anyone know if this is dead for the NST/G now or am I just having a bad day?

Well, can you see the URL it's trying to reach? Does it still exist?
You can apktool it then grep for http.
