Ameo Micro Drive.....Perfect Now..Thanks Wu5262!!

Absolutely brilliant news (as far as I'm concerned).
Thanks to fellow member wu5262 for looking after his software so well and keeping it, he e-mailed anyone needing the file in question 'WM5torage'.
See attachment for upload.
This bit of software literally turns the Athena (as well as most other WM5 devices) into a mass storage device allowing one to transfer files directly to your SD card or Micro drive, as it will be recognized as a Drive on your PC.
It simply works wonderfully and completely eliminates the need to use the slow and unreliable ActiveSync application to simply move files from the PC to the device.
I was having problems moving large files in this manner via Activesync (AS) to the Micro Drive (MD) and AS would not cope with it on my Ameo but it works fine on the Dopod U1000, implying that the ROM on the Dopod variant is considerably better put together than others. Wu has had no major problems with his device since he got it.
I can now report that I have no issues with the UK version of the Ameo whatsoever!!
Using WM5torage, one can very easily transfer huge files directly to the MD. I just moved 2.4 GB of movies (3 DVD rips - my own legal copies ) in about 12 minutes!!
So no problems with the MD speed in this regard. I've also tested the movies and there is no corruption..everything works flawlessly!
Instructions on how to do it:
1) Download the attached WM5torage.cab...either directly to your device or any other way you want.
2) Install the cab to 'Device' and softe reset straight after.
3) Now to find the file;
Go to...My Device\Program Files\WM5torage.....there it is!
Good time to make a shortcut and place it somewhere more logical!
4) Copy the file from the folder and go to....My Device\Windows\Start Menu\....
Now click the menu button...bottom right corner of the screen...and select 'edit' ...then paste shortcut...rename the file 'WM5torage' (otherwise it will always say "shrtcut to WM5torage") that's it...we're good to go!
5) Finally return to the start menu and you should see it there...WM5torage!!
Connect your USB lead to PC & Ameo/Athena. Don't worry if Active sync says error or even connects...just shut down any pop-up messages or Active sync.
6) On your device under your start menu, Simply click WM5torage (it will say 'Inactive' - hence the reason why nothing happens when you plug your USB lead into the device and PC)...and select Activate.
Immediately your PC should start to recognize your USB mass storage device....be patient and then a window will show up as if you had plugged in a USB device or inserted a memory card into your PC.
You can check what device has now been recognized as a drive under 'My Computer' on your PC.....it'll say something like L:drive or similar depending on your PC's configuration.
Happy fast transferring.
Don't forget to 'Deactivate' WM5torage when your finished otherwise Active Sync might not recognize your device the next time you want to sync with your PC.
Let us know how you got on.
All thanks to wu5262...Cheers mate.
Don't forget the attachment below!!

woah another long post mostly 99% garbage. Anyways all laptops come with built in card readers. my laptop has all mini-sd micro-sd sd every card reading capability. And thats much faster than athena's and activesync. lol this is so unneccessary because i never transfer files via USB... slow as hell. Always use internal ^^

Go and find something productive to do.

Glad it's all working out for you....I cannot be bothered to get into another argument with the likes of you.
This post was for those who recognise the problems mentioned above. I have now played with 3 brand new UK version Ameos and all suffer the same problem...so this was a solution for me and those who have the same experience...not twats like you.

Look, Nuclear, what is your problem? why you are saying his post is garbage? are you just unhappy because you haven't got your HTC Advantage? Well, mate you have to wait more so cool down.
So you are going to use card reader to transfer file? I would love to see how you can plug the Micro Drive in the Card Reader !!

Goodness me..I just realized you haven't even got your Athena yet...so you couldn't possibly understand why I posted this 99% garbage post.
Apply that remaining 1% to your existing 1% of intelligence...you'll need it for the Athena. Sorry for calling you names just now..din't know at the time that you were retarded.

Well said wu.

BTW, mackaby007, in the post you say "Wu has had no major problems with his device since he got it." haha, actually, i have no issue at all for my device. I am very surprise how complete this Rom is, especially it's their first release.
Nice to hear your have no problem as well now.
I was just playing with remote control just now, hehe, i was using my DOPOD U1000 to control my Vista, nice! Will show it to my friends tomorrow, and they will all say: "wow, how did you manage to install vista on your Athena!"
haha

Got it. Thanks. I'm running XP SP2. Will it work with too? I'm lost on this one wu. How do I set it up (settings and everything)?
I've installed it and found the app in Programs, but am not sure what to enter for:
Computer:
User Name:
Password:
Domain:
and what should I select under options?
256 colors or 16 bit?
and then chose Full Screen or other option?
Thanks 4 your help.

you need to enable remote control on your pc, you need the IP as well. i personally have a static IP, so it's quite easy to set up. user name and password is the same on your pc.
I have to say this, if you haven't done remote control before, it might be quite hard to set it up.
I will try to post some screen shot later on.

Wu... Please can you send me a copy too, really appreciate it!

Hi wu, I remember using the following Registry Settings on my Terminal Services and this was the only way I could get a reasonable speed on it.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]
"BitmapPersistCacheSize"=dword:0000000A
"BitmapCacheSize"=dword:000005DC
"Keyboard Layout"="00000409"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default]
"BitmapCachePersistEnable"=dword:00000001
Also I definitely agree with you! Crossbow and WM5 Terminal Services are way too different! Crossbow is awesome for this!I hope this helps!

As far as i know..
you can never change Mac addresses on any type of device..

MAC addresses are burned into the hardware more specifically the wireless card so I really doubt it can be changed.

I was reading about android os basis o linux so I thought that I can change mac on my magic as like I am changing it on nokia n810 tablet
sorry for my english

I understand what you mean. You want to spoof your MAC address as something else. Many products have thus ability (routers, PCs, xbox, etc); although its usually only for wired interfaces not wireless interfaces. The only use i can see for wanting to spoof your wireless MAC would be for cracking into wireless networks protected by MAC address control.

There is more use for that.
I have just installed Android (froyo 2.2) on my HTC HD2, and that uses a different MAC, so I want to change it back to what it actually is.

have you changed directories to where your adb is?
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools

this has been out for a lil while but there are not very many people that know about it. i have been using it for about a month now.

ummm..idk what you are really talking about...i jsut got into the whole phone hacking thing...can you explain a lil bit more. are you talking about on the computer or phone? and is there some software you have to download on the pc first? thanks

This is awesome. I use my laptop the most, and now I can start the bootanimation so people think I'm cool from the other room

are you serious? you have to load the android SDK. ADB is NOT a command built into ANY os! obviously your new to computers too. after installing the sdk be sure to create an environment variable pointing to the tools folder so that you can call adb from any directory.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I'm probably being a bit rude here but it very much irks me when people blindly type terminal commands with no knowledge of what it is they are entering.

Nice find! Works great!

I installed the SDK and connected to my phone via "adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555". But it doesn't show up as a drive / usb drive.
How do I make it work? Is there a command to mount it as a drive??
thx

Just a script I wrote...
Hey guys.
I just wrote a quick batch script that automatically starts the wireless connection to your phone. It's a lot quicker IMO than typing adb connect blah blah blah. All you need to do is change the IP address in the script to whatever IP address your phone uses. I recommend reserving the IP in your router so you won't need to change it.

adb server is out of date ?
I keep getting this error when trying to use adb wireless
***Edit - somehow it just started working*** I can't explain how, but I'm all set now -

What do I do?
When the command screen comes up (the black box), what do I type in? I have the 192.168 etc number, but it appears that I need to type in something before that. I tried variations of adb connect, but it does not work. It looks like I need to either 1) Change the drive; 2) issue a command or both. I'm a newbie at this. Thanks

[Q] WHY!? do i need a samba server just so my phone can see my network?

I dont have a samba server, and am not interested in installing one.
Why is it every file explorer seems to require a SMB connection to browse a windows network?
Can't our phones simply see the windows network in order to browse teh files? every time i look for a file explorere they suggest Astro ro ES Explorer but they both dont see my shares and seem to require SMB.
What do I need to do?!
Thank you for your time and answers.
PS. i may not be understanding this so forgive me if i am getting it all wrong.
I was sure i did not have these problems with the samsung or the desire z.
I have my windows 7 boxes set up for file sharing as well as media sharing.

That's like asking why you need http support in a web browser.
That's the protocol required to connect to and browse a windows network.

Ah, See I didnt know that. I thought SMB was a Linux/unix server that you had to set up somehow.
OK, So what am i missing here? i've tried setting up the shares and folders to allow me to gain access. is there a guide i should follow?

You need to install SMB

Great! Thanks!
All the guides i see on line that speaks of setting up SMB or Samba mention linux. Is there any way around it so linux is not in the picture? Linux sucks. I hate it. It is the devils OS. It is a plague. Linus Torvalds should have thougth twice before inventing such a thing.
The above statements are purely opinion and not meant to encompass any vast population.

Ummm, you don't have to install SMB on Windows. SMB is the protocol Windows uses to share files and printers, it's already included. Samba is an application for Unix systems to implement the SMB protocol.
OP, can you elaborate more on your problem? I have ES file explorer connecting to my Windows shares just fine and I didn't have to install anything on my Windows machine for it to work.

I don't know if it's something to do with the way my network is set up, but when I try to scan for a share using any of the explorers it will either not find any available shares or when it finds an IP that is on my network it returns an error like "server is not reachable". at one point i had another error that mentioned SMB not configured or something. I'm not getting that now.
I guess I just need to know, do i need to have a login for the machine? do i need to ensure certain accounts in the permissions?

OK, Here's a good error.
in on my netbook I created a share, shared with everyone read and right.
in astro smb i added the server IP (//192.168.0.15) and a Share. nothing else in the fields as i dont log onto my machine
I get server not found. look at details and i get:

but now its complaining that i dont have the right user name or password. Again, i dont have any login on this machine.

ok, as soon as i added a username and password it worked.
my next questions is obviously, is there any way around not having to have a user name and password?

Blame windows 7. For some reason it requires user/pass even on shares open to everyone. You should be able to get around this on a xp machine though. I know my storage server (running that plague of an os called linux) doesn't require any user/pass

Have you gone into the network and sharing control panel (right click on network, then properties) Then click on 'homegroup and sharing options", then "change advanced sharing settings", click the "turn off password protected sharing" button.. give that a shot if you haven't done it already..

I put 'guest' as the user name to access my open windows xp shares. I don't think it worked without it.

Buddy on win7 you can not share anything without an user and pass.
Set a pass on your account and try again.

Could you please elaborate on this? I have Windows 8 and the Usb antenna for capturing packets but not sure what's next. Have the software too.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

It's very difficult to crack WPA networks. From my understanding, packet injection works only for WEP encrypted networks. Your best, and unfortunately impractical, bet is a brute force dictionary attack. There is a plethora of Windows and Linux software that can accomplish this but this method can take years. A phones processor is even weaker so you may be out of luck
