Simple "Send/Install to Phone" Context menu - Android Software Development

I know a lot of you are bored of mounting SDcard all the time just to add/install a file on your phone, and running commands (push) through ADB is a bit waste of time so i created a small registry adition for Windows to be able to send/install any file at your Phone with just a click.
Download the zip below and edit EDITME.reg with your apropriate SDK directory and just run SendToPhone.bat/Install to Phone.bat.
Send to Phone

Install to Phone

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shell\Install to Phone]

Excellent idea, thanks

awesome, will this work with all files?

yep! all files except folders. if you want it specificaly for lets say apks, change "*" to ".apk"

Because \ is the default for special characters when interpreting strings i.e. \t is typically a tab-character. To use \ in a string you then have double \\.

Is there a program you installed that made the APK have an icon, or did you manually edit the file associations?

It's called an escape character. Brilliant idea though, simple yet very effective and time saving.. I read it and thought "duh".
Where's regedit on my Gentoo box anyways? :highfive:

Can you tell me what exactly is "SDK directory"?
I didn't install Android SDK too, will I have to install it to use this tweak in my PC?
Also, is there any way to show "APK Thumbnail in Win 7" ?

SDK directory is where the sdk is installed. if you didnt install it, it is where adb.exe is located
Download adb from here and link to that directory

Not Working
Here is what I did.
I downloaded the Zip and Extract it in a Folder Name ADB. Then I copy the Folder to C Drive in my PC

yep. debuging must be enabled (adb = android debugging bridge) and your phone's drivers must be installed

tells me cant acces the file or path when i use the context menu. using win8..any fix?

Open file with?
When i try to push this to my phone from context menu i get "Open file with" prompt, what can i do about it? do i have to have any special progs to send this to my phone?

Guys, you have to have adb installed

A little note
adb.exe has been moved, the path should become "<SDK DIR>\\platform-tools\\adb.exe"

awesome hack bro- will definately use the **** about this. i take it that with a simple modification this could support ADB wireless? assuming of course you assign your phone a static IP on the LAN..

Thanks Man it's AWESOME
but it's only Work when the apk name has no spaces (i am talking about install to phone)
When the apk name has spaces it's open CMD and close quickly it says "invalid Apk file!!
any solution to this problem??

Possible to run HTC Hero in an emulator?

I remember that there was a video originally released on Youtube demonstrating the Rosie UI of the HTC Hero in an emulator. Would anyone happen to know what emulator was being used to do that and how one would go about to get it to run in the emulator?
Thanks.
the emulator that i believe was from the android sdk. you can download it http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/index.html
Im not sure if hero is on the emulator because it requires some files which are not in 1.5 database.
modaco got the emulator to run cyanogen's mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534580
if you want to run it here are the steps for Windows
1. download sdk
2. extract it to the C: or root of any drive to make it easier to acess
3. Download Java SDK http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp "Java SE Development Kit (JDK)" JDK 6 Update 14 will do
4. Install, and open command prompt (start > run > cmd)
5. navigate to the tools folder of android sdk
ex if you extracted it to C:\android, type
Code:
cd c:\android
cd tools
Next type to create avd
Code:
android create avd -n NAME -t 2
To test and run it
Code:
emulator -avd NAME

This looks cool I would like to try anyway I could use my nandroid backup and how if yes
can someone give use commands for lunix? those commands aren't working on Ubuntu..
You can run a nandroid backup image through the emulator, so you'd have to install hero on your phone first.. which I assume would defeat the object of emulating hero in the first place.

1. Download the Android SDK (which includes the emulator) from here.
2. Extract the downloaded zip.
3. Run a command prompt, and change to the 'tools' directory of the SDK (or add the tools directory to your path).
4. Type 'android list target'
5. Note the 'id' number of the '1.5' target (in my case it's '2')
6. Type 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' (substitute 2 with the target number determined above if required)
7. You will be prompted to create a hardware profile. This is optional, but I selected 'yes' and accepted the defaults for everything except RAM, where I gave it 256MB. wink.gif
8. Download and unzip this image file.
9. Copy the above file to the location of the enhanced.avd directory ('C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows XP, and 'C:\Users\<user>\.android\enhanced.avd' on Windows Vista).
10. You're ready! Type 'emulator -avd enhanced' to run! Note: inital boot may take a few minutes!

I have the leaked Hero ROM. Is there any way to, say, load it in the SDK emulator?
I'm also interested in this topic.
Does anyone have a system.img from a hero rom?
Did you ever get the Hero Rom working in the emulator?

Hi Airextreme
Would it be possible for you to put links to your ever-growing tools collection in your signature?
Thanks for all the work and creations by the way.
Cheers
Thanks, for this
Seems very very useful. Thanks for sharing....
Didn't try yet but sounds good and very usefull.
Thanks Airxtreme
It would be really helpful if all these tools could be combined into 1 single gui... I am working on this now...and also for the reg validator it would be great if it could scan recursively a folder and validate all reg files in it instead of single files ( I am creating the workaround for this in the GUI )
@airxtreme : Is it possible that the application can return the result as string instead of popup... ?

I didn't add a GUI because since the kitchen already scans all the packages for invalid registry entries it would have been redundant to have another GUI to do the same but feel free to write one if you want, it certainly wouldn't hurt.

I don't know what you mean with string but I added a commandline version that you can run from your application. If you want I can directly send you the c# class file that does all the checking so you can build a standalone registry scanner without having to launch the tool for each file.
Ok...thanks the command line version should be perfect... I personally found so many errors in the registry ...lol
Thanks a bunch for the tool !

Hi,
I know this post is old but I was looking for a .reg file validator so I found the thread. :angel:
I've removed lot of lines from a reg file with Regex and wanted to validate the output and everything was fine (as it should be) according to the validator But right after I tried it again with a complete export of a Reg Key from Windows 10 that I know good and it throw some errors like:
Code:
Error at line 5825: the registry value type specified next to the hexadecimal values prefix is not recognized as a valid registry value type.
Error at line 5826: the registry entry was not recognized.
And there is no error, so I'd like to know if you have a more recent/updated version somewhere.
It would be useful to double check when editing manually and also when I extract some part/value of the registry to be sure formatting is fine.
Also the pop up don't work when the error log is to big I had to Copy the output of the Validator with CTRL-C and paste it in my editor to see them
Best Regards !
bug(version): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Unfortunately, the source code of the program is not open, and I can't fix this bug.
2. Argumentation
“Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00” RegistryEditorVersion required for Windows 2000 and above.
Without this line we can't, for example, merge my KiraREG.reg file via reg import KiraREG.reg or regedit /S KiraREG.reg commands.
3. Data
Example valid D:\SashaTwickenham\KiraREG.reg file:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

4. Steps to reproduce
I downloaded and unpacked Registry File (.REG) Validator v1.00beta2 → I ran command:
Code:

It's because adb can't get to the file without root. Happened to me too. I just manually copied the nv_data.bin over to my computer using the standard usb mass storage and ran sgux on it.
Code:
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb shell
/ $su
#cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard
#exit
#exit
then mount the usb storage, copy over the nv_data.bin to the folder with sgux.exe in it (i put mine in c:\androidsdk), then:
Code:
C:\androidsdk>sgux nv_data.bin
and with any luck you'll have it.

Okay, I understand a bit. but I'm not sure what all the coding is all about and how/what to do. You copied nv_data.bin from your phone to a location on the computer?
I set my Vibrant to mass storage and while it's not showing on MyComputer anywhere, the only thing that pops up is the microSD card with the movie on it.
Correct... instead of androidsdk it would be wherever you saved it..
Having one hell of a time accessing my phone via the computer.
It's connected, but no icon to click open or anything of the sort (inside MyComputer)
Ok, this is what I have on my screen now.
No EFS folder, no nv_data.bin, anywhere in the folders.
You need to use root explorer or adb(maybe astro) for access to your internal system directories. Just pull the file using adb like chui mentioned. If you aren't familiar with adb then I suggest you read up in the Vibrant bible.

Well I just looked through it and there doesn't seem to be a thread specifically about adb file system actions.
Just open a command prompt and "cd" to your android sdk tools folder.
example: cd c:\sdk\tools
type:
adb shell
su
cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard
exit
adb pull /sdcard/nv_data.bin /nv_data
that should get nv_data.bin into your tools folder under the folder nv_data. then just move the nv_data.bin into the sgux.exe folder
I'll try this now, thanks Iral.
Trying to type what you put, I can't remember for the life of me how to enter multiple command lines in command prompt. Hitting ENTER executes the first line. But I'm supposed to type all that out correct?

What is Easy Installer?
Easy installer is a windows RUU imitate that helps you as user to install your Rom's with only 2 clicks. Fully automated!
For devs Easy installer helps to provide Rom's alternate to the recovery zip archive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How does Easy installer work?
Thats easy. The developer create a system img file of his rom and configure Easy installer easily with one config file. The package can provide like a normal rom.
The user run a little exe-file and the RUU installs the rom fully automated! If something runs false, the RUU gives the user an error and a explanation what he can to do now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What i need for Easy installer
For now, Easy Installer works only with image files, so you need your Rom as a image file. You can create a image file of your rom easily with mkyaffs.arm (find in attachements).
The config file is easy to understand. An example here (found in package too):
Code:
;The config file is neccessary for the RUU. Here you define all file namens.
[functions]
;imgfile specify, if you want to flash a image or a zip file (0=zip-file, 1=img-file). For now, only img files working, sry :(
imgfile=1
;waitbl set the time the RUU wait for the bootloader (fastboot). Some devices take a while to reboot to bootloader. Set the time here, in generally the time 10 is enough
waitbl=10
;the img-name specify the name of the image file without the file extension!
img-name=system
;zip-name is for one of the next versions, when it is possible to flash zip files. If you want, you can delete this
zip-name=HC_MIUI3.2
;boot-name specify the name of the boot.img without extension.
boot-name=boot
;set the name of the clockworkmod recovery file for your device here.
cwm-name=cwm
;rec-name is the original recovery of HTC that must be inserted for img-files. Put the name here without extension
rec-name=recovery
[labels]
;specify the shown rom-name in the RUU
rom-name=.sense
;the device name is the full name of the device the rom is for
device-name=Wildfire S
;some devices has more versions (marvel, marvelc, marvelct e.g.). Specify for what device your rom is.
device-code=marvel
The picture in the RUU is namend "PHONE.bmp" in package, you can replace with your own.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to create the system.img?
Well, thats is easy
1. Install your Rom you want to use in Easy Installer at your phone via the Recovery (don't start the Rom!!!)
2. Go to recovery, connect your phone via USB-Cable to computer
3. Download the mkfs.arm.zip (see attachements)
4. Create a new directory in your SD-Card (example: "build")
5. Copy the extracted file "mkfs" of the downloaded archive into the folder "build"
6. Insert the SD-Card into the phone
7. In recovery go to: "mounts&storage->mound /sdcard" or run following adb-command: adb mound /sdcard
8. run the following commands in adb one after one:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs /system /sdcard/build/system.img
9. Wait for the "Build OK."-message
10. Exit the adb shell via exit command and turn off the phone
11. Take the SD-Card of the phone and insert it into your PC
12. in the SD-Card's folder /build you will find a "system.img". Use this file for the easy installer

Will this work for all devices?
Any chances of bricking? Because many of users of Micromax A70 bricked their phone by a chinese flashing tool.
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells
Sorry, i see now, that i posted this in false section. In genarally it works only for HTC devices which are unlocked or S-OFF, not for others!
How can I use the mkfs.arm?
it works only on ARM-based devices, like the HTC phones.
You must copy the file onto your sd-card e.g.:
adb push mkfs.arm /sdcard/build
After this you install your Rom on the device or copy the /system-files to the sd-card. Now you run following command:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs.arm /system /sdcard/system.img
ODER
./mkfs.arm /sdcard/build/system /sdcard/system.img
Then the file will build a system.img and copy it onto the sdcard for next use
Would like to know if this would work to ONelll123
Wipe everything
Flash Rom
Make Nandroid
Use Nandroid as ROM's Images
It seems much easier to me than having to go to shell and all Not meant to be an insult, just a recommendation/question
Hmm, it ia qn idea, but idk in what filesystem the backups are saved. If it is yaffs2 it can be that this works.
But you must do shell commands too. Its for secruity reasons and that this method used works.

extract cab files here :
packages\EmulatorWP81\packages\WindowsPhone81SDK

I find this mbr file too but I don't know how to open it .
don't need to extract VHD file again whole vhd is a image file and you can open that via Windows Explorer

I have all of them .
the most interesting one is the file manager appx files .
another interesting thing in the wp sdk is there is no Store right now in the emulator !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a simple stupidish question.Did someone try to install/deploy one of these new .appx files to current wp8 version?
Apss like file manager and storage sence?

yes i tried but surely didn't work
in new wp8.1 sdk there is a dll file i think it name was appxdeployer.dll you can find it after appverify.exe
this file deploy appx files
if you try you can't install appx files on whole sdk 8.1 and it returns an error that you have to developer unlock your device first or something like that .

Tell me did you first try to unregister your phone and then again register it but now with the new register tool?
And is there any chance that we can somehow recompile this appx into xap file keeping it`s permissions?
And just to spice up this thread a lilbit`

i didn't unregister my phone.
as i said appxdeployer dll is not in GDR3 so you can't deploy appx anyhow
for decompile and recompile to xap
you can check winmd codes using .Net reflector 8.0
and for rebuild files in xap format *maybe* yes.
we can use winmd files in wp8 so adding a winmd to vs may work
we know there's a lot of hidden things in wp8.1 sdk
some of them:
action center / background / phone dialler / kate voice assistant / new store and ....
To delete.
