Hi,
I was posting this on android forums so i thought that I should post here also for those who does not check all forums
This is for accessing any kind of file over local network
This is what I am doing on Samsung Galaxy
1) I installed cifs manager ( you have to download cifs kernel module along with that which I attached).
2) Then I shared my drive on my computer
3) Mount the directory on phone using cifs manager
4) Now you can use any application on phone to access the mounted files. Video files will run like you are running from phone
I tried allshare but that was tooo slow and does not run all formats. This method can be even used with rockplayer which plays everything
Any question let me know as this is working great on stock rom.
Greetings,
I have had my Transformer since last night, and and loving the honeycomb experience generally!
Only issue I have found so far is that if you plug the Tablet into an XP computer the MTP prococal drivers will only allow you to transfer recognised media files.
This is irritating because that does not include:
.apk
.epub
you can get into the file system and copy things to the Tablet, as well as delete things.
However you cannot rename, move around on the tablet directly etc.
This is more of an FYI post than a plea for help, I did the transfers I needed using micro SD.
oh, and under Windows 7 64bit you can tell it to skip the unknown file, ot to copy it anyway, which works fine.
I thought Transformer works as USB Mass Storage device not MTP like Xoom?
Strange. Works fine in win 7. Another option for smaller files is to use dropbox.

Afraid not. You can access the SD card from the mtp share, but with the limits above.
Roll on root and new kernels...

have got file transfers working via USB(mass storage).. both win 7 and win XP (after installing Asus sync).. also got it working via the networkwith the transformer seeing my windows shares when browsing with Ghost Commander file manager with SMB addon.. hope this helps
I shall install the Asus software and see what happens.
The USB OTG feature is ROM-side or Kernel-side feature ?
Right now I'm running PA 2.54 with M-Kernel Plus a11 and did the "Jay's Recipe for Buttery Goodness" .
Before this I was purelly 4.1.2 stock and USB OTG was working.I used to connect a flash drive and an external 1 TB HDD and access (read-only) the data via an app. called Nexus Media Importer and even trough ES File Explorer too.
Now it doesn't work anymore.The flash drive has a red light on it which blinks and now when I attach it it doesn't even turn On anymore.It used to do on Stock.
It has been stated countless times that Stickmount does not work with 4.2...That is until today when Stickmount was updated by the dev. It works now with today's update.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that PA 2.54 is based on 4.1.2 , so it's the same base I had when I was stock.
Today after trying Nexus Media Importer and ES File Explorer, I tried Stickmount too.
I'm afraid you didn't understood my question.
Hi all
I'm running Buttered AOKP & have recently tried USB OTG which I believe is native.
I was expecting that when I connected my USB stick that I'd be able to navigate it with my file manager ES File Explorer, however I'm unable to.
I installed the free version of Nexus Media Importer & can see my memory stick & it's contents but would rather not install another programme if the ROM is able to do it without.
I've also tried the Gallery app & QuickPics without success.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Paul
Stick mount works fine.

Thanks for the reply.
Judt to clarify, even though the ROM supports it natively an additional app is required?
Cheers, Paul
Not required, but, seemingly more reliable. At least given specific experience. YMMV.
So i just got my MOJO and was in the process of rooting it but, i can't seem to get windows 7 to recognize the device when i connect it by USB. It always shows up as "unknown device". How do i get Windows 7 to recognize it?
Also i have another problem regarding sound....there isn't any. When i load up a video on the MOJO, or just try to do anything that would have sound, theres nothing. I have the sound at MAX using the CTRL gamepad controls. Still, nothing.
I knew the MOJO was going to be one of those devices you have to fight with in order to get it to do what you want but, this is worse than i expected.
Help?
It really is a terrible experience out of the box. We know who to blame Mad Catz!
For Windows to recognize it, you have to install ADB Drivers, try the ones from teamandroid: www teamandroid .com/download-android-usb-drivers/
You will have to locate the device in the windows device manager and install the drivers manually.
But you can root the mojo without conencting it to the pc. you can root it with towelroot (Version 1). you have to search with google for the apk. the newest version (3) and v2 won't work.
After that you can use Flashify to flash a custom recovery.
For the sound: do you have another hdmi slot at your tv? this sounds like a connection problem.

Connecting it to the PC is (supposed)to be the EASY way though. Also....i don't see the mojo listed among the devices on that link you mentioned. Which one should i download??

Try the driver from Samsung.
If they don't work, use the universal adb drivers: github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
Towelroot would be much easier, you just install the App and klick one button (but only v1 works with mojo)

Thanks for the reply but i've tried all towelroot 1.0 as well as 3.0 and it did NOT work. I got an error saying, "This phone isn't currently supported". No matter which version i try.
Edit: Ok got it working! Turns out i was attempting the V2.0 & V3.0 versions. There are plenty of sites out there that would claim to have v1.0. However, once i downloaded and installed it, i'd see a "v2" or "v3" at the top of the screen.
In the end, I had to do a google search for a towelroot spefically for MOJO. Only then did i finally come across a site that had a legit v1.0.

Good job! I'm glad it worked in the end.
I also had to search a long time to find the correct tr version. But you will never need it again, once it's rooted. if you want to go back to stock, you can flash the original firmware with twrp, too!

Here was the thread it was in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/development/root-mojo-towelroot-one-click-t2799712
And the link for V1.0 in case anyone wants it. It was tough to find:

Ok so after a few hard weeks messing with this device, i've figured out ways to fix all its quirks, except for one: Not being able to connect to Pc. Thats annoying. I don't like having to remove my Micro SD card everytime i want to add more files.
Especially since this device was deigned in such a way that, its virtually impossible to remove without first removing the HDMI cable first. As they are sooooo CLOSE together.
Any suggestions for drivers? I just need it to function like a plain USB mass storage device, so i can access my Micro SD card on the Pc.
Yeah, the microSD is a pain to remove.. but I never need to touch it.
I don't understand why you want to access the SD via PC as a USB device?
To access the sdcard over wifi I use a SambaDroid server on the mojo pointed to the sdcard.. it works.

I want to be able to freely connect my MOJO by USB and drag & drop files at will to the Micro SD, without having to physically remove the Micro SD card each time (which also means unplugging the HDMI every time!!).
So far i'm enjoying the MOJO console as i've found fixes for every other problem i've run into. This is the only one that continues to elude me. I had not thought about the possibility of my Pc being able to connect remotely though wi-fi, to access the MOJO storage. This might be yet another out-of-the-box fix for me. Can you explain more about how this is done??

Not sure why you want to have a USB on the MOJO that way... the idea of MOJO(or any other topset box) is to keep it online next to your TV, I used to plug USB thumb drives into it.. but you never want to change microSD cards.. same like on a phone or tablet really.
Just install this on mojo:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sambadroid&hl=en
You can configure it so it shares a folder (google how to share folders on windows or youtube sambadroid).
You can use just the microSD (i think it's /mnt/card1) or the internal storage(i think /storage) or both using just /
I wouldn't do just / though.
It's pretty easy, just replicates windows file sharing and works well.
