Nice app
Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 utilizzando Tapatalk

New version 1.2.0
- Exclude files from sync using patterns
- Minor UI improvements
- Minor bug fixes

Thanks for your work, my friend, I use your app on all of my devices. It's working like charm, reliable and very easy to use!

New version 1.2.1
- Improve comparing method (using also MD5 sums) of files. Mostly, reduces sync times and data traffic during first sync where common files exist on both local and Google Drive directories.

Thanks for this APP

New version 1.3.0
- Add option to skip deletion of files for upload and download sync methods
- Add functionality to edit sync entry options
- Add more predefined sync freq intervals
- Update Google libs (smaller footprint in memory and in storage)
- Minor bug fixes

Nice update, my friend! I really like the option to edit existing sync jobs.

Drive Syncrypt Premium upgrade 40% off!!!

Looks like this app is exactly what I need, except I'm out of space on my internal storage .... The documentation is very clear that it's not possible to write to external SD, however I am wondering if a workaround could be employed to resolve this Android constraint?
There is such a workaround for Titanium Backup (I copied the below from this post: post )
There is an elegant way of giving TitaniumBackup write access to the external sdcard, without having to forfeit security (as in method 3 below).
Since the time of Android 4.3, Google uses a very clean security-solution by giving apps that request write access to external SD, permission only to their own folder - not to the entire card!
In order to get TitaniumBackup to work without compromising security, you can simply create a folder on the external sdcard,using the following folder-structure: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
Lastly, go tothe preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose "Backup folder location" and choose the above specified folder.​
I looked in /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ for an equivalent for Drive Syncrypt but could not find one otherwise I would have tested this idea myself.
Is there any chance a workaround like this could be found?

Thanks for your feedback.
I think this is not an efficient solution for Drive Syncrypt, because this means that you had to copy all your files that you want to upload or sync in the specific directory. But what about files that other apps generates? Other apps could not have access to Drive Syncrypt's directory.
I think that access to external SD is pain in KitKat for apps, and it's not possible to have this feature in Drive Syncrypt as I would like.

I agree it might not suit everyone but if you would indulge me a little further?
Not sure it is difficult and I apologise if the text I copied made it seem harder than it really is - literally all I had to do was create the equivalent folder in my external SD (/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/) and then titanium backup was able to find the folder and back up to it. So my theory was this could be a workaround for Drive Syncrypt.
My use case is purely to have my Drive files available offline on my external SD, so I appreciate the workaround might not be useful for folks who use it for other purposes. I would expect folks who do not want to store files on external SD would simply not use this workaround though.
Thanks for your consideration. And thanks for developing the app of course!

It's true that in KitKat an app may use external SD but only in it's private space (the specific directory).
Unfortunately, with current version of Drive Syncrypt you can't do anything (unless you do something tricky). I will think about it for the next version, although I suspect that there will be a lot of issues and negative impression. Most people will thing that something is wrong with the app.
BTW, is your device rooted?
If yes, you could try to create a symbolic link from a internal SD directory to the external SD ( /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.semaphore.drivesyncrypt). Then you could select that directory as a sync entry.

Thanks for your consideration. My phone is rooted but external SD is not format as ext so symlink doesn't work. Thanks anyway

New Filebrowser with Root & SU permissions as well as built in terminal client

New App on market
Market Name: SU File Browser & Terminal

This is still a beta so there are a few bugs as well as some soon to come UI changes.
keep in mind this is not ugly but it is not meant to be a "pretty" file browser. There are enough of those out there. This was designed for functionality.

soft keyboard in landscape mode needs to be toggled on 2x the first time you open it.
Post any Bugs, issues, or ideas here please
Updates:
Changed Search UI so that it is no longer its own activity. This will allow the user to back out of the search box and still use the switcher on the bottom to switch between search, browse, and terminal.
Replaced pop up in search box with Search hint.
Corrected the trackball from defaulting to control key when changing Terminal prefs. Basically it will allow it to work as the enter key again after changing preferences.
Current users will have to change the preferences the first time they update in order to correct the issue if you previously had it.
menu> preferences> command key: select something other than jog ball
Updates 1.5:
Fixed Search UI bug
added preferences for List color, Text Size, and Selector Color
New:
Added ability to create sym links
Updates 1.6:
Email Support
Better thread processing to prevent system hangs and crashes.
Random amusement?
Updates 1.7:
Multiple Viewer and editor support Support
Issue with 1.7:
It appears that something was miscodded causing crashing whenever a dialog attempts to appear this will be fixed tonight I appologize in advance.
The app is currently unpublished for now. until i can fix this
1.7 Re-Published as 1.7.1:
Delete / Paste Crash Fixed
Update 1.7.5:
Search Fixed for Newer Hero Build
Current Directory/Browse To bar implemented
Partition RW/RO Status added
Update 1.7.8:
Filter set up for "Browse To" bar to prevent typos.
Bugs: Symlinks Broke?
Not sure if symlink in the code is broken or maybe if its this new hero build 2.3.3 I tried to manually create a link and that fails as well.
Any Feedback on this one would be appreciated.
Update 1.9:
Cleaned up a lot of code
added some additional menu icons
Better Alert descriptions
file support to the Browse to bar for manual entries
Update 1.9.5:
Recursive Zip Support Added for Extraction

Optional Expandable tool bar added with:
Settable Home Button
Bookmarks
Quick Exit
Update 2.0:
Browser Download Helper Added per requests
Update 2.1:
Multi Select support added. no buttons needed, just click the icon next to the file. You can also select across multiple directories so be careful
Zip File Creation Added. You can Zip ALL files unlike other zip apps out there. Zipping files on other partitions than the sdcard may be slower though due to the special means needed for the files to be zippable.
Unzip/install apk option added for those that wanted to be able to view the apk contents
Download helper change. Hopefully this will fix the issue that arose with android 1.5 and email crashing with txt html and pdf files if u had astro, download crutch or any download helper

Added button to toggle View hidden Files

grep free remount code
Syntax Highlighting
APK XML Binary viewer

I'm using SUFBS with nk02's ION Multilanguage v4 (HTC Magic) and when I make a long press on files or folders SUFBS always crash, don't know if it's my phone or ROM.
Not that this matters but for some reason this is named "SU File Manager & Terminal" in my market. It wouldn't find it under "SU File Browser & Terminal" just so you know.

I just use "Barcode Scanner" -- it's for shopping but it opens URL's and stuff also. There's probably a better one.
Side note: I don't buy apps. I use the free alternatives.
[Edit] Sorry, meant to post this here.
Numbers in Terminal
I am trying to use the terminal feature of this app to install RAv latest. I can input all the letter characters needed, but for some reason the numbers will not register in terminal (using better keyboard)

Non Market Apps Solved

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.
**If this has helped you please consider a donation.**

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

thx for bringing the script to the xperia z. Have had it on my note 2 and missed it.
Would be nice if you could explain exactly what this app does, since not all of us came from samsung phones. And at least viewers don't have to look for the original thread to read what it's all about. =)
PS: The original app also support extfat. What about this version?

From what I understand about it is, that it mounts the external sd as the internal sd and vice versa. The phone then recognizes the external card as internal storage and installs the app data and any other data (e.g. Downloads) on it as it would do on the original internal storage. About exfat, I dont't know much, but I think the kernel from the Z doesn't support exfat right now and the samsung one does support it.

No prob. Glad, I could help.
Thanx for the clarifications. I have another questions though. Seeing that it will now use the external sdcard as an internal sdcard, what happens to the actual internal sdcard? Will it still be used? Or it just stays there and becomes redundant?
Ive rooted my XZ LOCKED BOOTLOADER.. I ve tried Link2SD so I can move and install apps to my SD but that was no good..anyway found your thread here and applied it to the letter with my 4 GB sd and after reboot script manager was granted his SU permissions and after that the phone died...rebooted itself again and after script manager gained its SU permission it died again...and again and again...dont know why and dont know how to fix it..

to stop the reboots simply go to recovery and wipe data and cache. Dont know why you would use this if you have only a 4gb card??
how can i change again

AFAIK the actual internal sdcard is purely used as storage, as the external sdcard would be used, if it wasn't reversed. Correct me, if I'm wrong, 'cause I'm no expert.

Says its working but ads still popup. Worked fine when running off internal SD

[Q] Thought I understood new file-system structure

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded from 4.1 using TWRP 2.6.3.0
It was my understanding that this latest TWRP supported the newer Android file system. After the upgrade, I can see that my SDCARD has moved to the '0' directory, great.
But, now when I make new backups in TWRP, I can't see them anywhere, but from within recovery. I have searched the whole file system for "2013-12" but see only the last backup before the upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated!

Using Root Explorer, go from root to data/media/0 and scroll down to TWRP. Your new backups should be in place there.
Same vein. Why do I also have a TWRP folder with a backup under Main Storage? Can I delete one folder and gain 3gb back?

Weird, so TWRP actually created a directory here: \data\media\TWRP
In the \data\media\0\TWRP directory, are my old backups.
Should I move the stuff from the later, to the former?
Are there any other steps to take to consolidate data, and make sure there are no duplicate files? My free space seems very low, compared to what it should be.

Check that folder before deleting, it may have backups from a previous ROM setup, such as a 4.2 or 4.1 set up. Don't want to delete stuff you may decide you want later.

It depends on what you are running now(4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) and whether or not your 'old' backups would have any use for you. For example, I always keep a duplicate of my stock setup (out of the box stock) in that old folder just in case. If you decide to run an out-of the-box stock ROM i.e. 4.1.2, you will access your 'old' TWRP location. If you dump everything there, you'll be unable to access your current backups. Also, if you get yourself into a situation where you have either on purpose or by accident booted recovery to a former version, you won't be able to access your 'new' location. In that case, you'd be stuck sideloading or RUU-ing. Neither option is the end of the world, but to me convenience is everything. So, plan accordingly. If none of this makes any difference to you, and the extra space is important, do whatcha gotta do. :highfive:

Thanks BMP.
I'm on 4.4 at the moment, with the CM11 nightlies. I may go back to a Sense ROM, but probably sticking to 4.3+.
I'm really not a fan of how the built-in storage is handled on these phones. Having windows mount it as a "media device" instead of a proper removable drive, really limits how you can interact with it. I've had all sorts of issues just trying to copy all the "SD card" data to my computer.
Is there any way to get windows to see this space? I'd like to at least be able to back up these new backups.
For me, whichever file structure I'm in for that rom shows up on my 7setup. I ve never had a problem getting at the current one,only the one not in use.

Shoot, still can't figure out how to get these backups dumped to the computer.
It seems very strange that TWRP created its directory in limbo here:

Doesn't this storage usage seem odd
?
These two folders show duplicate size and file numbers. Neither appear to be a SIM link. Can't one be deleted?

Files not showing on Phone only on computer, trying to restore game data...

Hi,
I'm fiddling with my new s20 FE, I needed to manually add folders to My Files in 'Android /Data' to transfer data from a game (which I've done before on other devices) However, when connecting S20 to PC I can access all files and copy/paste into place, BUT on my phone none of these files will show up (No Files) and the game is not responding to the data I added.
Also tried through DeX and files don't show. Hidden files is checked and developer mode is on. Any ideas?

You can't access /data partition without root or custom recovery.
@XDHx86
You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

Didn't know that, thanks for info. But does it actually work read and write /data without root?

Well here is your solution buddy, you updated to 11 yet? I don't know if it's available to 10 since this is new info to me.
You can try Solid Explorer too. It is excellent and you can have access to android data and obb.
Thx Ill look at those options!

Did you figure out how to transfer over the data with total manager apk? Mine won't allow a copy and paste

From the the site homepage it says it only supports accessing /data partition from android 11, so i think it shoul only work on android 11 as i said.
Have you tried this? It doesn't need root.
sounds like Total Commander have decided to copy LCG's X-plore with the two panel windows.
all decent file browsers have been able to access storage/0/emulated/Android/data the whole time and micro SD equivalent too.
it's only with android 11 that google's new security layer has removed that access for SDcards. their new security has also made the file system 6 times slower in copying or moving files etc. hopefully OEMs will pressure google to fix it.

I believe you misunderstood the topic of the thread. We're discussing the possibility of accessing /data partition without root permission on android 11, even with scoped storage security feature. You can read about it the the link in the 3rd post above.
I never heard about google forbidding access to sdcard from apps, can you elaborate?

I think I understood OK, changes to the file system include no longer accessing Android/Data. that's not the data partition as far as I'm concerned, it's still accessible from internal storage but not from external.
