Ok... my phone is dead..ish... I dropped water on it... tried to dry it out and now the USB isn't recognized and the backlight on the screen is dead. I can still barely make out the white images on the phone. Here's my question, is there anyway to make a nandroid and get it off the phone (email, ftp, ect..) automatically? I can probably see enough to install an apk... but not set it up. I am connected to my wifi router so I can see the device that way... but that's it.
HELP!

Edit : nvm
Their are ways to make a nandroid back up without turning your phone off then using a file manager to find the file and upload it to Google drive or drop box.. But I don't know how much you are able to do

It's slightly more complicated than that. I can't see the background at all in TWRP because it's dark. I can barely make out the HTC clock on my home screen. I tried to get into ES file manager and turn on ftp but the settings screen is also too dark. Think of seeing your phone in direct sunlight on the lowest brightness. That's what my screen looks like.

What are you trying to save? If you are trying to save like pictures and stuff you might be able to use an app that allows you to adb over WiFi and you can pull stuff that way

Alright... I've got it working.... I was going through the ADB commands and I can't find anyway to list the contents of the sdcard. So say if I only wanted to pick and choose which folder to pull. In command prompt it is usually the "dir" command, is there an adb equivalent?

thank you
there is also a facebook icon in the main menu. how do i delete this facebook? i cant seem to find it in the app list...
I won't be able to get to my computer till tomorrow. I will look it up then if no one else has answered your question.
For Facebook you should be able to delete it from adb and it won't appear when you boot it back up

They are system apps so easiest way is to use adb on computer.. type this in command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
It will display all apps on the phone other then market downloaded ones. To remove type this.
rm NameOfApp.apk
Im guessing you can figure what app is what now. They are simply labeled. And remember, its caps sensitive.

I dont see the names of the apps I want to remove.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I believe the Facebook apk is located in system/app (maybe wrong though I can't remember where I deleted mine from)
I think there was htcfacebook.apk and com.facebook.katana.apk
The Google nav has been elusive so far but from what I am seeing it looks to be included in the Google maps app. I can't find a specific file to get rid of it. If anyone else could verify that it would much appreciated.

PDFViewer.apk = PDF viewer
Are you sure you want to remove the blue arrow one? That's google maps navigation... sorry, I don't know that one.
BTW someone made a great post of a list of almost all stock HTC apks which I keep bookmarked for reference:

I do use google maps for nav. I just want the 'blue arrowed' navigator off the main menu.

I didnt see it in the list when i typed ls. Im running stock rooted. When i go to the market, facebook is listed 'installed' and will only allow me to uninstall updates. Some things dont work when i run fresh2.1.2. Some things dont show in the market, updates dont work although i didnt push odadm. Suggestions?
Hows the evo? I was ready to buy one today...couldnt find it. Wouldve been impulse anyway...

If you remove the Navigator apk I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the google navigator turn by turn directions-style navigation. Google maps will work, but not navigation. I don't think you can remove just the icon from the apps drawer if that's what you mean.
One way I uninstall apps if I don't want to use adb is to install titanium backup and uninstall from there. Just go to the backup/restore tab, tap on the app and it should give you the option to uninstall.hope this helps!

Assuming you are rooted and have Android sdk on your computer you need to do this in the command prompt......
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk
HTC also has the messaging widget which you can remove.
To see all the apps do this in the command window....
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
Then just replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove. I'm on my phone so I can't tell you off hand what the name is.

I was under the impression that you shouldn't remove the stock messaging app because regardless what program you use it needs the mms framework from the messaging app to function. You can turn off all notification for the stock messaging app so that it doesn't pop up for texts though.
I'd be sure to do a nand backup before removing this.

I do believe he is right
If ur removing mms ur correct. If ur talking am the IM apk then that can be removed. If u want to use a text message app from the market u have to leave the mms app on the phone. Just go the settings and turn off auto retrieve and notifications. All the text message apps use the mms to send messages. Hope that helps

I used SU File Manager and mounted the system folder as read and write then went into system/apps/ and deleted MMS.apk. This removed the entire Messaging App from my Hero and I only use Handcent now and haven't had any issues.
or from your computer's terminal you could do:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/mms.apk
When 90% of people, including a dev tell you no, you should listen.
yea except from experience I know that this can be done with no issues. So, until you have tried something yourself how about you not respond?
Heard of that saying "don't fix what's not broke", well I think that's just as valid in reverse, "don't break what actually works".
OK OK OK... you are right.. don't fix whats not broken.... that is a golden rule... but then again what do you call everything everyone is doing to there phone... Anyways thank you all for your help.... xda and everyone involved rocks.....

I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated.
This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error.
The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special.
I couldn't find anyone on the internet with a similar issue, so I put this here.
//edit1: I have only one user set up: me alias the owner.

You can alter where things are stored. Have you connected back to pc to search tab that way. Check storeage settings did you use ptp or mtp for transfer

I used MTP. The tablet looks empty from "within" via Totalcommander & EStrong Filemanager. Also other apps like music don't see my files. Storage shows suspiciously much free space, I guess it's really gone. From PC it looks the same, completely wiped. It recreated the /sdcard/Android-Folder, and the Apps I've used since recreated their folders... I can't find where you meant I could alter where things are stored. Storage just let's me delete stuff and users just let's me edit the away-message.
Thanks anyway so far.

Hi all, I'm in trouble with my mac. I downloaded the HTC Sync Manager for mac. Installed it. Once launched the program the hard drive starts twisting as a mad man. The program stats: importing media files????? 250 GB of musics, 180 GB movies and a lot GB of pictures. While twisting I can see that the hard drive free space decrease, not a lot but several GB yes. I waited for the end of this stupid operation than i plugged the One. The program freeze! No way to copy anything! The mac starts with its stupid lollipop and I'm obliged to force the shut down of the program. Tried to uninstall the program, restart the mac, install it again, but same problem. Tried to uninstall the program, wipe the phone... same problem. DO you have any ideas? Is there somewhere a simple bridging program to let me drag and drop files to my phone??? It was so easy when I had the phone as an external device....

Has anybody figured out a way to transfer files via BlueTooth from our phones to the Gear? Right now, I can push/install from my PC/Mac just fine, but I'd hate having to carry around the cradle all the time for my customization needs.
You can do it by installing bluetooth file transfer. You'll have to install this app on your phone and gear. Open it connect it and transfer away...

My point exactly, theres currently no way to transfer files without using a third party application.
Which would mean you would have to use the cradle.

I think the point of the bluetooth file transfer suggestion is that you only have to do it once (i.e., to get the bluetooth file transfer software on the watch) and then you can continue to transfer files without touching the cradle. If the question is how to transfer files without even a single use of the cradle, I think the answer is clearly no with the current set of apps available.
Did anyone succeed with any bluetooth file transfert apk ?

One way only?
I followed the instructions and was able to browse my phone's files on the gear and transfer them to the gear, but it doesn't seem possible to browse the gear's files on the phone and pull them onto the phone. Am I doing something wrong?
When trying to connect on my phone, I get the message "Service not found. You cannot connect with target device because it lacks of the 'File Transfer Profile' (OBEX FTP) and/or the 'Object Push Profile' (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services. Make sure that the target device is in DISCOVERABLE mode and enabled to receive files!"

this method is painfully slow though, after u install that app on BOTH, u still have to enable it on BOTH, then pair it, so many steips
i wished that apk filepush works but sadly it doesn't work via BT spoofing
with filepush on my other android devices, i just have to right click the file on my windows 8 computer and send it via filepush!
I use root explorer to send files from my phone to my gear frequently. It can be VERY SLOW to do so though.
By the way I have the gear rooted, ROM is null_23, and have root explorer on the gear. I have sent as big of files as the null Roms and VR themes as well. Also I have used root explorer to send screenshots from my gear with root explorer to my phone, those are normally watchfaces for Watchstyler.
