Google drive - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was saving some ps1 roms on Google drive. When I transfer them onto my phone they won't load, something changes the files. Now when I use adrive I have no issues. I was wondering if anyone knows what's happening.

OTG storage question

OK mine is working..have a 32gb flash drive. I'm running low on space on my Nexus so was wondering how to move some of the high MB games. TDKR, Bards Tale, etc. They are not moveable with app2sd. I find them with root explorer but there are several files in different locations. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

You can move them with OTG but then you wouldn't be able to play them... If you aren't planning on playing them, why not delete them and reinstall when you want to play?
I am not aware of an easier to do what you're asking.
OK. I was hoping I could still play them. I only have about 4 GB left and I don't like being so low on space. I'm still playing so I'll just leave as is for now. Thanks.

Saving Google Maps to Evernote on Nexus

Going away this weekend and I want to save directions on Google maps to Evernote on my Nexus, when I had my laptop I just copied and pasted the directions into Evernote from maps and that was fine, but I tried to copy and paste from Maps to Evernote and it's not giving me the option, tried to make maps available offline but it can't seem to include the directions, and unless I find free wifi I won't have Internet, anyone any ideas?

Sending file through wifi direct?

How do I send files through WiFi direct? On all my other devices I can go to any file manager and choose to send via WiFi direct... This seems to be not available. Why? I feel like this a crucial method of sending large files way faster than Bluetooth.. If anyone can help me out it would be great!

WiFi direct is a function of the OS. You have to have a program that is capable of using it. I have transferred files via WiFi direct using OfficeSuite Pro successfully.
You can download WiFi direct. It's kind of hit and miss
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
yeah thank you!
wifi direct seems like such a use full feature, why it isnt more widely implemented i do not know,
but yeah ive tried wifishoot and yeah any wifidirect apps seem to be hit n miss, plus with standard os, it doesnt help you much and doesnt seem able to send many files by standard? (gallery, image, share, no wifi direct option most of the time)?
Don't understand why that is I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I just got this nexus which I sold my Galaxy Tab for and I find it ridiculous that I can't send files through wifi direct because bluetooth is so slow and I don't have an external memory for this Nexus so it makes it so much harder now to transfer files without wifi direct. I see this as a big let down and I expect the Nexus to have this ability throughout the whole operating system. Why is wifi direct even an option in the Nexus if we can use it for anything I even connected with another phone through wifi direct and had that other phone try to send me a file on the Nexus blocks it because it says it doesn't allow media sharing. I'm a bit let down

I meant on the play store to download WiFi direct
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I use an app called peerdeviceconnect. It's on the play store and links two or more devices that have the app installed. Then when you select an app to share the option of using it is shown. It has the create Wifi direct network option built into it.

Can you remove a game but keep the save?

I need more storage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.

With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.
Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.

No one's going to help you with pirates APKs. Root your Ouya and install Google Play.
I was getting pretty low frame rate dips with vice city

If you have them on your nexus, you can use es filemanager to backup the apks to the internal storage, then copy them to your pc.
You can also use a program called RealAPK Leecher, and log in with your google account. It will let you download the apks for apps you own on the google play store.

Also, just fyi, before i got the play store working on the ouya, i found out that if you just try to launch the apks, you will get an error. it checks the google store for purchase authorization, and if it doesnt find the store on your ouya, it wont download the data files. If the data files are already in place, it works fine. If you have the games already installed on your nexus, you can copy the data files from there onto the ouya. I copied them from my nook, and it worked fine.
do as the above post says, including copying the ogg data files over. After you start a game on the Ouya, you can copy your save games from the data directory to the Ouya.
The games run fine. But you may want to use a PS3 or something because the Ouya controller doesn't have a start button so you can't access the menu system. It's just a quirk.
Thanks I will give it a try.
