nice
thanks stickman

Thankyou tnpapadakos for your appreciation

Nice, but it would be good if it is an app in android like file explorer. you just tick which apk you want to install and at 1 button, it will install all for you

nice app will install it once i get more time!

Is it in any way better than Droid Explorer's batch installer?

Is it possible to transform this into a installation method like the one provided by Cabviaactivesync for winmobile??
With the device connectd to the pc, with just two clicks, a right click over an .apk file and then choosing the installation option, could be great to install easily an apk
If you don't know cabviaactivesync, just go here to see what I'm talking about...
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo.../cabviaactivesync-free-edition-now-available/

Thanks for your app.
Does it rebuild the link with the market per single apk it installs ?

Thx man! great job!
gonna win time with it!!!!

Very nice! Thanks!!!

droid explorer is an app on the device itself
this is a PC based tool which very quickly installs many apps when the device is plugged into the PC via adb
two different things

Works perfect in my legend
thanks for for work man

Looks like a very useful tool! Can't wait to try it! Thanks Stickman!!

Take a look at AppAdmin

Can this be used to install "sideload" or non-market apps on an att phone with that feature disable? Like 'side load wonder machine', but with a batch option? If so.. Nice! Will make transferring apps from the Cap to the Atrix very simple later this week!

[TOOL][WINDOWS] - ADB-Filesync - Easily pull files from your Android-device via ADB

Hey there,
i'd like to share a little application i made.
The problem:
I was annoyed by the uncomfortable use of MTP in Windows.
Especially when having more and more files in one folder like the camera folder.
Windows needs several minutes to get the complete filelist.
The solution:
i created a little application which pulls files from your android-device via adb.
the app checks all specified folders from the configuration-file and pulls all files which are not existing to the destination folder.
there is also an option to change the created/modified timestamp of images/videos by parsing the filename. this function may be useful for sorting your pictures/videos.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Setting up the app:
the app creates all necessary files on the first start.
after creating, it automatically opens the configuration-file for you to edit it.
there is a comment in every line to understand what the application will do.
there are a couple more of options, read the ini-file-comments to understand.
Requirements:
- Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0
- the ability to modify a textfile
- ADB-Debugging must be enabled on your device
- the internal path you want to sync from your android-device
if you don't know the path, install "es file explorer" or any other file-explorer and try to find out the path. see screenshot...
if you like this tool feel free to donate.
THX and have fun!​
ignore the following files

It's a great idea but the tool does not really work well. I tried many different things now and it either didn't sync at all saying there were no files to copy or only copies the one given directory without subdirectories.
I hope it's not programmed that way since it'd be very un-useful for those who'd want to make a backup of their phone before flashing (as example me right now).
Good idea tho, really like it yet!

Hi, thanks for your work. I have a Zenfne 2 and this works for me, but i need to copy all the sdcard folder and subfolders. What i need to do?

Great no-nonsense tool!
Allow me to recommend two minor additions
1) For JPG and PNG file, examine the "DATE TAKEN" meta-tag, and use this for filestamp (by an option)
2) A flag for Traverse Subdirs.
(If not easy on the source side, it could be OK with the destination side, one could easily do a initial full copy in explorer)
ADD:
3) An option NOT to try to supply it's own ADB.exe, without a confirmation dialogue as this might be wrong compared to the version used on the system...
...And a tiny bug.
4) When "OpenAfterCopyOnly" is selected and multiple sync-sections is in use, it should ONLY open the destination folders for the dirs that got new files, not all destinations.

Thanks! Just used this to solve my issue. Phone rebooted within 2 minutes, so doing it straight didn't work for me. Good work!

People interested in this, might find this little tool PortableDevicesIncrementalCopy helpful too
It can do INCREMENTAL copies via MTP of the entire tree, so very handy and reasonably quick to keep a backup including all your images on your PC
https://eskerahn.dk/wordpress/?p=1668
Note it is not a MIRROR-function, so files deleted on the device will stay on the PC.

Not work on my pc. Error cannot write file.

[Windows ONLY][Tool][Utility][1.2][June 2] Yeti FSExplorer

To XDA's mods and admins:
I didn't post this thread using DevDB because I had to select a device... from an empty list.
Do you like to waste your time using ADB in text mode? Me neither.
I want to present Yeti FSExplorer - Windows app that will improve your Android device's file managing experience.​I wrote it in C# and it needs .NET Framework 4.5 in order to work.
It looks like this (screenshots inside):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My main goal was to create a PC-like file managing experience and here's what FSExplorer can do:
create new files and folders
delete existing files and folders
batch copy and move files (supported by the file queue)
download and upload files (drag&drop supported)
quick download and open a file from your device (only double-click needed)
check and set permissions (3-digits, e.g. 644)
remember where have you been (this means you can go back, up and further like in Windows Explorer; up to 15 last places)
connect to your ADB WiFi-enabled device
list your device's partitions
work in root mode (SU) (working for every command except download/upload)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you need?
In order to get Yeti FSExplorer working you need to sell your property and buy a license have ADB installed. This means it has to be accessible for this program. You can either put it somewhere and make proper changes in system's PATH or simply download this and extract to a folder containing FSExplorer.
You'll also need .NET Framework 4.5 or above, so Windows XP is not supported. Sorry for that.

Changelog & downloads
Even though it is considered stable version, there can be bugs as in every software. I'm not responsible for any data loss, damage or problems this program caused.
Current version: 1.2 (June 2 2015)
Download link: MEGA, DropBox
Changelog:
1.2:
- fixed and improved IP addresses recognition (thanks, gidano!)
- (probably, needs more testing) fixed directory listing in root mode
- changed About&Credits window style
-------------------------
1.1:
- add "Partitions Info" feature
- fixed handling of "device not found"
- a bit improved error handling
- fixed program's icon
-------------------------

Got any problems? Any feedback?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm almost sure that there are language mistakes (also the silly ones) I should fix.

And one more, just in case.

Hi,
I'm in trouble, the app does not work for me...
My S4 with CM12.1 ROM with root and busybox.
What else can I do?
Update: I'm sorry dude! I would like to use the program, but very weak the support! You do not visit in this direction...

Sorry for replying that late - there were things independent of me and I wasn't able to analyze the source code for (probably) my mistakes so I could explain it here.
Thank you for reporting this.
When trying to connect to your device using ADB WiFi, do NOT write ":5555", the only thing you need is the IP address as 5555 is the only most used ADB WiFi port. If you try to connect to, for example, 12.34.56.78:5555, nothing is done. Then:
1. If connection is established, FSExplorer will refresh itself, trying to list directory "/".
2. If it isn't, you'll get an error message.
Once again, sorry for delay and not clarifying this thing in this program.
Edit:
I'm working on IP address recognition fix now. There's also one more bug (listing in root mode). These two fixes will be included in version 1.2 of FSExplorer.
Edit2:
Version 1.2 is up. I'd like to know if this version works better with your device.

Sorry...
Today I received a notice by e-mail on this topic!
Now it works! Thank you for your work!

Nice to know!
Feature requests and more bug reports are welcome as much as opinions about this app.

[TOOL] AppDeploy 8.1 all capabilities

After few tries, I've fixed application deployer from SDK 8.1 to sideload xaps with all "restricted" capabilities in the manifest
(he-he, just curious why nobody did it before?)
1) Backup original deployer "AppDeploy.exe" and "Microsoft.Phone.Tools.Deploy.dll" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Tools\AppDeploy" first!
2) Unpack attachment and replace files.
3) Enjoy!
I've tested modified deployer on WPTweaker and WPH Tweak apps, works perfectly.
Cons: I was lazy to add original localization so modified deployer has only English lang.
P.S. Of course to be able sideload apps with "restricted" capabilities your handset must be interop-unlocked

Works fine so far. Many thanks.
Maybe you can give instructions how to add other localizations. I would like to add german localization for myself.

sorry does not work for the : WebAccess_0_5_6_AllCapabilities.xap

@megasounds, do you have a handset with all capabilities unlocked? You may compare error message from the original 8.1 deployer and modified, messages are different. In case of modified deployer, the error message came directly from phone or (maybe, I'm not sure) from Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity namespace.

Can't deploy WPTweaker_Release_ARM_1.4.0.xap

@titi66200, do you have WP8.1 SDK installed? It's not a standalone deployer but just a replacement of "native" SDK tool.

Yes.
I have build "MDILFileList.xml" with MDILXAPCompile.exe and rezip Xap.
And now i can deploy WPTweaker_Release_ARM_1.4.0.xap

Kinda strange 'cause I've tested on my xap downloaded from xda thread (for the test purity).
P.S. BTW, could you try to sideload other "interop-only" apps? (except @GoodDayToDie's WebAccess_AllCapabilities - I don't know how to sideload that app to the handset with "usual interop", not a "sammy" with the custom bits)

Can the coveted tetra lock screen app 1.2.0.0 finally be deployed? I'm currently on winmo 10 and can't test lol

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's about half my fault and half Microsoft's; the AllCapabilities version of the webserver includes *all* the capabilities that were usable by a third-party app in 8.0 (even if they aren't necessarily used for anything). Microosft removed some of those in 8.1. This results in trying to install an app that requires capabilities which the OS doesn't even understand.
Workaround is to remove capabilities from the app's manifest until it installs. Alternatively, use the normal-caps version (or another registry browser) to see all the available capabilities - they're under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\Capabilities) - and remove the ones in the app's manifest that aren't supported.
I'm really sorry for not updating the app in so bloody long. I got stuck on some really huge set of changes for it that aren't working right yet, and then I got swept up in another project altogether, and that + life generally being busy (travel, girlfriend, day job, you know the drill) has meant I've been neglecting that app. I need to switch back to the stable branch, fix the capabilities, and release a trivial update. I'll try to do that as soon as possible (but my dev PC is temporarily dead, so I'll need to use my laptop, and I've got plans with friends tonight... again, you get the idea). Sorry again.

I've changed slightly AppDeploy (forgot to add app icon in the initial post ); also added decompiled sources (in case someone want to improve/add own localization - but my 2¢ - don't waste you time )

Removed ID_CAP_SOUND_CONTROL in "WMAppManifest.xml"
Added "WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/phone/2013/windowsphonereservedappinfo" PinableOnKidZone="false">
<SoftwareCapabilities>
<SoftwareCapability Id="ID_CAP_SOUND_CONTROL" />
</SoftwareCapabilities>
</WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo>
And i can deploy with original AppDeploy.

Hmm, I thought WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml is just for WinRuntime apps, not Silverlight...
@titi66200, are you able to see/play ringtones after that change (tap any button on the "Sounds" page)?

Yes all Works
Edit
glancescreen.xap is RuntimeType="Silverlight" and use "WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml"

Wow, pretty cool trick, thanks! I'll add your solution to the WPTweaker project.
