Download location . - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi @ all ,
I ask the question becasue unable to find the answer ..
i just need to change the download location of my browser (chrome or adblock) to external sd card .
But cannot find any information about this .
Can someone help me ???
if no usual option existing , my phone is rooted .
Thanks a lot .

I don't think you really can.
Even if you are using the same browser as on your PC, on a phone you have limited functionality.
However, you can manually move the downloaded files on your SD card (it sounds stupid, but I can't actually think of anything else).

Thanks for taking the time to answer . The issue is that the file i'm downloading are too big for my internal SD . that why i need to have them downloaded directly to my ext sd.
I can't believe there is no way to do this...but thanks for the effort !

If possible for you to download Samsung Internet it's easy!
Start internet>settings>advanced> and save content to sd card ... or use the usb-c to usb adapter that came with the phone and use external HDD.
Seems not possible in chrome now.

maybe a stupid question, but why dont you install any kind of download manager from the play store? This way, every time you download something you get asked where you want to save the file. And this would work in any browser

And I have yet another stupid question. Why don't you download that file from your PC and then copy it on your SD card, which you can later insert it in your phone. Or use G drive (or Dropbox) app to download it and access it on your phone.

Or you use a browser with an integrated download manager like dolphin. I think opera is also asking where to save downloaded files.

Because i m using 4 g networks to download , and i have no pc with me when i m on journey ( i use 4 g network when i am in big cities to download huge files when i got good networks , usually virtual machine for my work , then i use them at home on my pc to work, so i do the exact inverted process cause of poor adsl connection compare to 4G).
Bu tthanks to all got now lots of solutions :
Use opera mini
Use samsung internet
Use a download manager.
Thanks XDA !

It's not possible to control the download location of chrome on android as far as I know, but you could try using an app like Advanced Download Manager. It has it's own browser that allows full control over downloads and uses the SD card as the default download location.

Widget wanted mount/unmount storage card

Hello i´m searching for a widget to unmount and mount the storage card because if i move mp3 files with apps like anyFTP or aFile to the G1 i'm not able to open them. I have to switch the phone off and on and then i can use the files.
need Help please!
why not just take the sd card out then put it back in instead of turning the phone on and off?
there is an app on the market that does that...just throw it on your desktop..
it's not a widget but performs the function as it should...
use it until a widget is released...
@nephron : it´s too compicated! A widget or an app ist faster (i hope)
@Ike14 : Do you remember the name of the app? i have allready searched in the market but i found nothing!
It's called KingDroid.

I found it! But i only can use KingDroid with rooted G1 i don´t want to root it! Is there another app for non rooted devices?
Or do i need a rooted G1 to mount and unmount the storage card?

FOUND IT!...
App: MountUSB
It's in the market...just searched it...
But some recent user comments on the app say it's not working with cupcake (1.5)...
But try it...it's free...and you never know!
tried it but don´t work! Any other ideas?
noone else an idea?
do you have 1.5? you can mount/umount from the sdcard option in settings.
wait, why not just use a usb cable, and mount the sd card using the phone?! then drag and drop for christ's sake..
are you looking for one that mounts the SD card to the phone or to the computer? the script within kingdroid for mounting/unmounting the SD card is for when the phone is plugged into the computer, and it MAY work for just that function without root, but just wondering why you don't wanna root your phone, it's not hard and the possibilities become endless for this phone with root
i use an app to download mp3s. if i am not at home and download a mp3 i have to unmout and mount the card to open the mp3 file with the player thats why i dont can use the usb cable.
I dont want to root because the cellphone is new and i loose the garantie.

Uhm, this actually doesn't make any sense. Why in the hell would you have to remount your sdcard for a downloaded mp3? I've downloaded tons of mp3's on the fly with my phone and my music player just picks them up as soon as they're done.
What "app" are you using?

u can also use this

quack-ware.com
this is cool and all but the problem im getting is that the cab file is turning out big, for example alien hominid was 800MB.
ya evn i realised that...m currently searchin for a way to compress the .swf file..that will solve the prob...ill post any progress as n when made...
anybody else knows how to compress the .swf??

edit:
nope
I had a flash player on my phone a few weeks ago, and I was able to rip the games from popular flash game sites, but the phone just couldn't handle them. It was way too laggy to play, hopefully it was just the player I was using. If we could find a way to get flash games running at regular speed, the number of games available for this phone would be astounding.
Long time...
Is it just me, or does that packager take a really long time to make the Cab? All the times I've tried it, it just kind of sat there, giving me the Windows 7 Ring of Thinking.

[Q] need help with x8, I am VERY confused.. some programs now dissapeared

hello people, this is my first post here. It's been a week since I got a new x8, and I can't seem to get going with it, I'm always hounded with problems. Before posting I looked up the web for possible answers on my questions and queries, but I found too many guides and I don't know which to follow. I'm a former symbian user, and to be honest I'm a little dissapointed with the android's complexity. Here are some of what i'm curious about.
-.JAR/JAVA programs. I could only find J2ME runner, but in order to convert my .jar to apk it needs to connect to the internet? Isn't there an offline process/another program that runs .jar files?
-CANNOT save to memory card. It's frustrating. all games I install come straight to the phone memory, is there a real way to transfer it to my memory card?
-NO multi-touch. I don't know why but upon reading I found out that an early prototype of the x8 had multi-touch, but now it has none.. any way to activate this?
-GAMES always demand to connect to the internet to download additional data.
-INTERNET connects automatically from the start, IDK why,
sorry If i have lots of questions, and sorry for my english it's not my native language.. Hope I get help here.. Thank you very much and I hope the developers here continue on excelling on their work.
EDIT: now I have managed to root using superoneclick, installed busybox, and the xrecovery. I managed to go to the recovery and install the apps2sd, it said successful but it still installs to phone memory. I now installed link2sd, did a partition on my sd card, but when I rebooted my x8 everything on the sd card was gone, and some of the programs installed on the phone memory doesn't display their icons.. what happened? I need help.. thank you again..

About the java programs, i do not know.
Saving to SD is not a feature in Android 2.1. However, you can get it to work by rooting your phone and installing Apps2sd. There is several guides here on how to do it.
The digitizer is capable for multi/dual touch, but this is something SE has not included in the latest software updates.
Some games needs additional data to be downloaded.
Internet is activated by default. By going into settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile network settings - And uncheck "Data Enabled" then you will be able to disable internet.

did u make backup of ur sd?..no prob..im free rite now
Yeah I have duplicates of the files on my hard drive, mostly they are apk game files. I'd try again my x8 later, something urgent came up.
the programs installed on the phone memory disappeared, and on the menu where they should be located the menu is empty. still I can't figure out why programs don't install in my memory card...
it seems like a huge problem..how bout repair it through pc companion?..but everything will be liked out of the box phone.
but this is what I did. I factory reset the phone, and I see that it is still rooted. Unfortunately I have to download from the marketplace again. Internet is very slow here. but from here, what do I do to install to memory card? thanks..
from what i noe,factory reset only clear your data and didnt touch your rom..if you want start form there..i recommend you to format ur sd card first..but backup all ur data first..use card reader to create the partition..create fat partition first then create ext2 partition..then install link2sd..let say u have 2gb sd..make 1.5gb to fat and balanced goes to ext2 partition..i dont recommend ext3 and ext4 partition..mybe there's is conflit..use MiniTool Partition Wizard to reformat and create the partition..i did it on the first try,everything goes fine.
or maybe u can used fat32 for second partition..when i read at the link2sd thread,fat32 been recognize by all phone..the thread has been updated,i used ext2 partition..and everything works fine till now..
im sory if my instruction bricked ur phone..im also a beginner,and am answering ur quest within my range of knowledge..what i've tell you here is what i've test on my phone and it didnt bricked my phone..
ok, I'm gonna try that and I'd feedback the results to you.. thanks.
good luck and be careful when messing ur phone ..remember to always backup before start,if anything goes wrong.
after lots of trials and errors, I have managed to get the links2sd working. now after I install a game, and I select create link in link2sd, will that automatically be transferred to the sd card?
and should I include the "include devlik cache"?
yes,for every application that u install..click create link and yes u should checked that include delvik cache ..i suggest u to install all app first then create link then reboot ur phone

Order and chaos on Galaxy Note (N7000)

Hey guys,
So I finally got around to getting this mess sorted out with trying to get Order and Chaos working on my Galaxy Note and it runs great once you actually get 'around' the device checking nonsense.
I do actually own an Android Market and a Gameloft Store license for the game as well as have a subscription but unfortunately neither of these files will actually work due to the in-place device checking.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you where to download these files but the following are the two files you need:
- Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk
- GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar
Once you have both of those files you need to copy the Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk file to your phone via whatever method you usually use, then extract the GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar file to your computer, connect your phone to the computer via USB and copy the files you extracted to the following directory:
/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
Unfortunately this copy of Order and Chaos will start in non-English mode, you can change this simply by tapping the bottom right button which will open the "Settings" menu. From there, select the bottom option and tap the American flag.
Congratulations! You now have a working copy of Order and Chaos on your Galaxy Note.
I have created a forum thread on the gameloft forums pointing out that this is a major inconvenience and such complex work-arounds should not be necessary to use a game which works perfectly on a device of my choosing for a game I have a license for.
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,43433.0.html
Hopefully this helps some of you folks trying to get this working!
Note: The same strategy as outlined above should still work and is reported to work but I have stopped bothering with this game. If a developer can't be bothered to implement a simple fix like this, in an MMORPG no less, they don't deserve my hard earned money. Also, if you can't manage to find the files using Google, keep looking! They're literally insanely easy to find if you just look for the filenames - use your noggin' - don't expect xda-developers to do *everything* for you
Good job!
Developers need to stop this nonsense.
O M G!
It works like a charm... : O Thank you very much for this, have been searching soo much for just THIS
Sweet Jesus im playin, bye
No problem! Yeah I was searching for this like crazy so decided to just bite the bullet and try various things until something worked!
Thanks! Been constantly searching since I got my Note on how to get this game to work. It's unfortunate that "piracy" is the only way to play it for now but hopefully gameloft opens their eyes and makes the proper changes. Like you, I also own two copies on my Android device and also own a copy for my now sold iPhone 4. I have paid for subscription and have not been able to play it since my note doesn't support it. Again thank you for your efforts and I'll see you online hehehe
Hi,
I have copied the rar contents to the correct path (I am sure because when I uninstall app, this folder is deleted)
but still I get the "your device is not compatible" error when I launch the game.
What is it that I am doing wrong ?

If you connect your Phone (With USB Debugging activated) On the Internal SD (where you have the android Folder, the exernal_Sd Folder etc.)
And there you should have a gameloft folder and you should delete the whole folder: )
there's just one gameloft folder on my Note:
\Android\data\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
what else can I do ?
I'd appreciate any help..

So you Delete This Folder and then you go back to the SD Root and search for a Gameloft Folder (Right where Android is)
\Gameloft\
If you have it... delete it.. if you dont have. Delete the other Folder, Restart Phone, Plugin Usb and copy the Data THEN
If its not working delete it again, Restart Phone, Copy Data back to phone and download the apk from the side where you downloaded the Files and Start the apk yourself then...
Hope it works out for you
Greets
Thanks!!
Thanks a million for the info Chris! Works like a charm
The way I got it working was....when I had my GS2 I backed it up with Titanium Backup and then restore it on Note...works flawless...since it won't appear on Market with Note.
Hi,
Thanks for getting us this amazing game!
I got both the required files and placed in the right path.
Been trying all the delete/restart/load and still can't get it to work on my Note...
Anything else need to be check?
-cheers
no matter what I do, my Note connects to internet and checks for files. Then the game says my device is not compatible.
any suggestions ?

i can buy pay time from market with that method?? , tx
I assume you guys are extracting the RAR file and placing the files in the path specified, right? If so, try downloading the files to see what the directory name created is, then replace the files in that folder with the files you downloaded in the RAR file and relaunch the game.
As for buying game time - no sadly that doesn't work but I'm afraid this was the best I could find and since I already had a month or so left it hasn't been a problem for me (yet.)

Another way to download google translate offline fails on s5

HTML:
Another way to download google translate offline doesn't work on s5. Why?​​
Thanks to dzsergio , -SmOgER and gkprashu's posts.another way to download the google translate offline packeges was borned.
(Press on there names for the original posts)
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234606
The steps where this:
-Download core files from here:
http://dl.google.com/translate/offline/v3/r1/c.zip
http://dl.google.com/translate/offline/v3/r1/profiles.txt
-Download the desired language pack from here:
French: http://dl.google.com/translate/offline/v3/r1/fr.zip
Spanish: http://dl.google.com/translate/offline/v3/r1/es.zip
Italian: http://dl.google.com/translate/offline/v3/r1/it.zip
... so on and so forth ...
Full list here
Put them in known folder on your device's memory (internal/external).
Open google translate application, setting, offline language, with your wifi connection on tap on the desired one.
Then when it goes to 0% or more, close wifi connection. Open a file manager copy the c.zip file first, and overwrite it here:
/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.translate/files/ol/v3r1/tmp/v3r1/zip (on sd or internal depends where you installed)
Then open wifi connection the c.zip file will load 100% in a second, do the same step for the lang.zip.
And I tryed this metod on 4 different devices and it worked flawlessly on 3 of them, but not on the s5..
My s5 si sm-g900f rooted sd card readable. No restriction.
It's clearly s5's fault, but what is the cause?
Who can help me solve this?
(I'm a truck driver, I travel all over europe, I use diverse sim cards for internet, witch is very expensive, most free wifi connections are limited on downlods, or very slow. I allready downloaded the files, I don't want to do it again, because it's expensive.)
Who can help me with this? Any hints?
P.S. On my s5, I see even if I move the translat.apk to sd card with link2sd app2sd etc, it still downloads it's offline packages to internal. The other devices can download it on external too.
You said that your SD card is readable, but is it freely writeable by third party apps? i.e. did you revert the Kitkat SD card restrictions in platform.xml? In the (less likely) alternative, it's possible that the S5 has a newer Google framework or something Samsung specific that uses a different path.
Also you should link to the original post to give us a context and make it easier to find the OP's original work.

I edited my post, the l8nks where if you pressed there names, now I mentioned the direct link to the original thread too. It was for Htc but worked on many devices.
My card is freely writeable by thirdparty apps, I have philz recovery and sdfix for kitkat installed.

I had a quick look at the original thread and agree with Desmanto's comments in [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54424277&postcount=33]post No.33[/url] as to the most likely reasons it would fail on the S5 i.e. differences in the download manager or path.
If I find the time later, I'll look directly.
