To the many excellent folks here at xda-developers.com, I'm releasing MobilMon 0.5 for free.
I wrote a simple app that monitors file system access (specifically, file creation, deletion, or modification). This sort of tool can be invaluable when you are trying to figure out what's happening on your system. You can export the findings to a log file.
It's pretty bare bones at this point, but that was somewhat intentional. I wanted to see what folks wanted out of such an app before spending more development time on it.
Check it out, and let me know what you think: http://www.mobilmon.com
wow! thank you! this is pretty much exactly what i was wishing for ever since i started playing around with new apps and such on my phone.
it's a great help for just before a system backup. for example, i have SPB backup set to run every other morning. let's say it runs on Saturday at 5:00am. I install some apps and do some random things from 8:00am to 9:00am. 9:30am, my phone crashes. I reset to 5:00am, and I lost all that stuff i did from 8 to 9. now i know! thanks for this app.
Feature changes
A couple of things I was considering:
1. CSV EXPORT. Would it be better to leave the plain text formatting for easy readability, or format it for CSV export?
2. DIRECTORY. I was originally going to include the ability to change the directory (i.e. something other than just "\") but that would involve some significant work on my part. And, I'm not sure if you'd really want to do that anyway.
3. VIEW FILE READS. As delivered, it monitors file adds, deletes, and changes - not reads. This was done intentionally for performance reasons. Would people want to see all the file reads, even if it bogged the device down?
This is awesome! I haven't seen anything else like it, so I am really happy to see someone from the xda-forums to make this magic!
I think that you should add in the view file reads, but only as an option. Maybe also an option to select which operations you want logged (eg. when I only want to see the files created, and not deleted). Although being able export to CSV would give me the same results, but with some editing.

Many thanks for the app.
It would be nice to have (even as a separate app) something like mamaaich's file monitor: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=247425, with ability to start/stop and good frontend - to capture all file activities in the whole system.
It helps a lot to find frequent, unintended system file reads (in most cases - draining batteries)
monitor lost memory
i wonder if you could add some powerful memory mgmt to check where my pda memory is lost and what is the process,application or service which is causing memory leaks or using too much memory. maybe you could draw a graph or monitor memory usage during time for all processes. when i start my pda i have 48% free ram, after a day i am back to 80% without any visible app running.
Thanks!
Thanks
Thanks for the good feedback; I'll look into making it where you can select the types of events to monitor and then go from there.
Good lead on mamaich's program - I wasn't aware of it. I will take a look. I'm all about working smarter, not harder
Hello,
I stumbled over this (admittedly quite old) thread on the search for a windows-mobile version of something like iTunes FolderWatch or iPad ShutterSnatch.
Would it be possible to extend MobiMon such that an action can be triggered once a new file is found? In my case that action would be to start a picture viewer with the newly created file name as a parameter.
Scenario: Send pictures I take with my camera to my Windows Mobile Phone (HTC HD2) via FTP (MochaFTP) through an Ad-Hoc Network directly from the camera (using Eye-Fi). MobiMon would recognize the new file and fire up the picture viewer. This way, the latest picture taken will be shown on HD2's big display right after the shot was taken.
Of course, if there is a more streight-forward way of doing this (like a picture viewer with integrated FTP-Server ) I'd be more than happy to hear about it!
Regards and a happy new year!
Alex
Yes, it's possible.
In regards to your inquiry, it's programmatically possible, but would require a re-write. This has to do with the way things are instantiated. Whether I could afford the time to do it is a different question
1. What is the target OS?
2. Do you have the means and skills to adjust my code and compile it yourself if I just pointed out the changes needed?
allright, heres my question:
is it possible to add (i.e)tray/taskbar icon showing card r/w activity?
I am thinking not exactly about this specific project, but general idea related to it.
So, no matter how long and hard I try to think, I cannot stop wondering how come Samsung's Memo application be so of high quality? When scrolling it through even without the most advanced lagfixes in the market and having dozens of Memo entries, scrolling by then even maximazing all entries, it still doesn't lag at all!
LIED!
The reality is actually everything but the above. To elaborate myself, I just CANNOT stop wondering how can this Samsung's Memo application LAG so much even if I only have 8 Memo entries and they are all MINIMIZED. Even with latest firmware, filesystem converted on ext4, it's still PURE PAIN to browse through my EIGHT Memo entries MINIMIZED!
Seriously, I know Samsung is not really known for their software, but how can they mess a simply text-only memo application so bad? I mean, haven't they ONCE tried to create a few memo entries and actually try to view them?
I wanted to like the Memo app, but it's just too basic, and to top it all, I can't delete memos!
I now use the ThinkFree office suite, or just note it down in a message.
I can recommend RememberTheMilk for cloud storage of notes/memos
AK Notepad all the way.
It also lets you export/import as a txt file to your SD card when you factory reset. You can also back up to an online account.

I have a problem with regards to deep search which involves searching for certain text which involves multiple files such as documents, powerpoints and pdfs. My s6 edge+ can't seem to search for keywords located inside files unlike my Note 4 which can locate files easily.
Good evening, XDA. Recently, I spent the night rooting the LG V20 model by T-Mobile H91810d. Successfully followed James Lane 19 minute tutorial on Youtube for it and flashed noverity by the end.
Regardless, it still won't allow my PC to completely view data files, the V20's temperature rose (used to feel a lot cooler), and the speed became significantly slower. Immediately enabled developer mode and disabled automatic updates to keep my current software version.
I just want to see files within offline applications like Planescape Torment Enhanced Edition for modding purposes. Does anybody know how to successfully view app data specifically through PC at this point? The app data is clearly visible through Google Playstore's mobile file explorers.

I forgot to select "show hidden files" on my PC before. Could it be that?
I wish. All files extensions are already set to show for Fallout and Skyrim modifications. Thanks for the response
Showing extensions and viewing hidden files are different options. You probably know that... just putting it out there.
I can't recall the exact situation, but I have had instances where files on my phone were unavailable, or non copyable from the phone. You can try a adb pull of the folder, or using an internal file manager compress, then copy the compressed file. Also make sure you can see hidden files on the computer lol.
I got the view hidden files feature switched on and double checked this now to make sure. The worst part is I can't paste over the app's invisible file structure with a replicated one. It creates a new folder instead like if there's some invisible force shield around it or something lol
Hi everyone, so I got the Note 8 a few days ago and have already started taking notes. I found that the most useful app is Samsung notes however, once I write about one screen worth of notes (through samsung keyboard which translates handwriting into text) I'm unable to share in pdf format or even text only. I've tried everything, even restoring and nothing, same problem and I've already lost a very important note file because of some **** ups during restore.
Does anyone know of anoter really good note taking app? I just need simple coloring, bullet points, and to be able to write with the pen some stuff, so I need actual handwriting at times.
Or also does anyone know of another way to save the notes taken on samsung notes so that I can view them on the computer? I couldn't find them through file explorer but I don't know the path nor could I find it online
