Hello everybody! I have a lot of android apps on my pc and I want to transfer them to my nook, but I don't know if it is possible. If it is, which folder do I drop them off in? I tried to find where the other apps are installed in my nook that I directly download from the android market, but I can't find their location. Please help me out, I really need some of the apps I have and I can't even find them or can't download them directly. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for taking your time to help me I really appreciate it. I've run into a problem though. when I try to set up adb it wont find my device in the cmd prompt. I am following these instructions to set up adb: search in youtube "ANDROID SDK Tools (How-To Install)" first video. I get stuck at the part at 6:23 it just says "list of devices attached" and doesn't list anything. I don't know what am doing wrong .
psbear532,
You can use a file explorer program (astro, es explorer, etc), and choose the apk on sd and install it. Just remember to use nookcolortools and de-select and re-select the non-market app box.
I guess it would be easier - I haven't had luck with adb so far...

Assuming you've successfully rooted your NST:
1: Enable wifi on your NST and make a note of the IP address assigned to it.
2: Tell adb to connect to that IP
Code:
adb connect 10.0.0.2
That's it, if adb was able to connect you can now adb push or adb install all you want

Why?, apart from having to download and install the Android SDK, using adb should be straightforward unless you're trying to get it to connect to the NST trough usb.
Ros87,
Maybe that was my mistake. I've always tried using USB :S

Getting adb to work over USB on the NST is a pain in the a**
Some people have reported getting it to work with the Google drivers, but none of them worked for me in W7. Also I'm unable to try it in Ubuntu as I'm running that trough VMware Player and I cannot redirect the USB port properly.
Thank you both so much! Ros87 I got it to work over wifi which I think is even better since now I don't even have to deal with the wire. apeine I didn't try your method since adb worked, but thanks for your time anyway.

So why don't you install linux on a separate partition?
How does one do this without an SD card? I will be getting one soon, but for now, can I just create a temporary folder on the home directory and install it from there? Does it automatically install to the apps directory?
Thanks!
EDIT: I just figured out how much you can browse with the computer. So...
The simplest method is to just copy the apps to an SD card, insert the card,browse to the .apk location,tap on the .apk file, you will be prompted with an screen asking if you want to proceed to install or just use the adb over wifi method as explained above
I use and app names Airdroid. It allows you to install apps remotely from your computer via wifi.
I have an "apk" folder in my UbuntuOne account, Dropbox should work too.
then i have the app for the service installed.
it works fine for me
I've added a few apps to my S3 and altered a few things on my PC and now I can't connect via mtp or ptp. It goes through the usual "installing drivers" and then fails. I've tried pulling the battery and removing the sim and micro sd card then putting everything back. Tried it without the card (currently having to transfer files via a card reader so - at least the card's fine) but to no avail.
I've had a go at uninstalling the drivers through the device manager, rebooting and scanning for hardware changes. I've tried downloading the drivers without kies but it didnt work out (I cant remember the site or the url, but ended up with the following file SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones) It didn't auto install but even when I tried to point Windows to the folder on my C drive, nothing.
I've spent a couple of hours trawling the net including on here and tried all sorts.
I'm rooted, using the stock 4.1.2 ROM with Windows 7.
I can't use Kies as when it was installed the first time it wrecked all my Synctoy sync's so I really could do with another option please guys.
Dial *#7284# on your phone to access PhoneUtil and select 'Qualcomm USB Settings' at the bottom.
Now select 'MTP + ADB' and press 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Now press your 'Back' key to exit PhoneUtil. Your phone is now back to default USB operation.

Thanks for the quick reply.I did that and it was set to mtp + adb...
When I then connected it it tried installing the driver and I got..
Driver device software was not installed.
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed
MTP USB Device X Failed
I tried updating the MTP drivers again from device manager but this time got
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
SAMSUNG Mobile MPT Device
This device cannot start (code 10)
From what I'm reading it's a computer error not the phone. Can anyone suggest a new set of drivers to download (that doesnt involve Kies) as I've had issues with picking up harmful software from random sites when I've been struggling to find drivers.
I tried using the suggestion at the bottom of here r.e.Portable Devices and deleting the Upperfilters string Link but also to no avail.
Oh, and yes I've tried different ports and cables.
Well that's me done for the evening! I've tried everything mentioned in this thread including updating java and windows media player and all the afformentioned stuff but still no dice.
Could it be the actual drivers or a random windows 7 setting that I haven't yet tweaked since my clean install of windows??

The newer drivers don't really wwork with the 9305 so find some older drivers. That works for me

Thanks for the tip.any suggestions as to where I can download these older drivers? I'll try the previously mentioned ones first, but I'm starting to think it might be the drivers themselves

The ones I posted work fine on my 9305 so you shouldn't have any issues and as you can see from the site they are nearly a year old.
Try them what have you got to loose, if they don't work you are no worse off

Cheers, yeah, I was going to try them but I wasn't at my pc at the time I wrote that. I've downloaded the exe package but now it seems there are still drivers to uninstall - I uninstalled the drivers through device manager and went into my C drive and removed the SAMSUNG folder with the USB drivers in it. I'll restart the pc and hope that helps with the removal....

Having the same problem. but I am on 4.3 rom using carbon rom a few days then transferred to pac man rom. My cellphone is not detected in my computer but it is being detected in the safely remove usb options. I tried to use a usb otg cable and a flash disk. No notification is seen on my phone but I can access the files on the flash disk (using usb otg cable) in the file manager. Tried the *#7284# but error occurs and says connection problem or invalid MMI code. I found that MTP udb device says failed

It made no difference whatsoever. I used a utility to check for an remove the samsung drivers (USBDeview) as well as uninstalling through device manager and removing with windows "products and features" but even then, when I tried installing the new drivers it mentioned previous drivers. I restarted after each stage of the process.
I've even tried connecting it in download mode and it shows in device manager.
Could there be some remnant of the software I used to root that phone that might be causing the issue??
I'm due to leave the country in 5 days and have loads of things to sort (also have a family member going into hospital for major surgery tomorrow) so I can't just devote all my time to this - but I need to at least know that it's not the phone (I dont have another win 7 computer to try it on).

Hi everybody,
I have a 64-bit PC with Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 and a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 with Android 4.1.2.
I can't install a driver in order to make Windows recognize correctly the phone when I connect it via USB cable.
I've installed and uninstalled Samsung Kies many times with no results. I've also tried some Samsung driver from Windows Update with no success...
When I connect the phone, it is recognized as a MTP Device and the driver installation starts, but always ends with an error, as shown in the attached screen-shot image.
What can I do?
Thank you very very much.
Note: in another PC with WinXP I have no problems.
Firstly make sure phone can run MTP (make sure if you delete MTP releated stuff in system you won't able connect it. Re-flash with Odin) Now if you don't have problem with phone then uninstall drivers & KIES from Windows. Don't just do a uninstall clear temp files, dll files, registry entries (you can use CCleaner) then install THIS DRIVERS.

Hello, thank you for your answer.
How can I make sure my phone can run MTP?
For the complete uninstall, is it enough to run CCleaner, uninstall Kies and then perform the Registry Cleaner in CCleaner?
Thank you

Did you root phone ? or installed a ROM or you just using it stock ?
I noticed something too; if you any have PIN or Password you have to unlock phone otherwise MTP not works. Unlock it and try too.
CCleaner will *probably* be enough but if you want to make sure go to regedit.exe and go to;
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/
Then delete KIES & USB Driver stuff (don't delete system USB configs & drivers just Samsung's softwares )
EDIT: In start menu click to RUN (or whatever I don't now it's name in English, you're entering a text) Then write
Code:
%AppData%
Then delete KIES & Samsung folders and files.
I've just Updated the phone firmware from Android 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 with Samsung Kies on my WinXP PC.
I've deleted all Samsung Kies registry entries.
Now I'm going to install the driver you suggested...
Let me see results...

This may be a bit silly but is important to ask.
Was your PC connected connected to the internet while installing the drivers??
Did you unplug your phone while the drivers were being installed??

I've just tried to reboot the phone before connecting it to the PC, but I get the same error (see attachments).
Last year I managed to connect the phone to this PC, but, in any case the connection got interrupted after a while (see this thread).
I don't know what to do...
I had the same problem when i formatted my PC 2 days ago. I did some trial and error and it worked.
1. Dont use any USB Hub if you are using.
2. Remove the Pattern lock or any password security etc. Go to lock screen and select 'None'. (I dont know why but windows doesn't recognise if the device is locked)
3. Have Kies installed. Even new version worked for me. I used 2.5.13043_14
4.Connect your device with the USB cable (Should have MTP option selected which is by default)
5. Windows automatically recognises now and installs the necessary files.
P.S:- Remove the security pattern, etc. It really works.
If worked then pls reply.
Hello,
I've disable any screen lock on my phone and I've connected the USB cable to another USB port (a 3.0 USB port) and Windows magically recognized correctly the device! (no Kies installed, only drivers)
Anyway, after some minutes of usage (cut-paste of files). Windows stopped recognizing the device...
If I disconnect the phone and then connect it back, Windows still recognizes it, but I have few minutes until the device stops being recognized and no file on it can be read...
See attached pictures

Did you download newest version of drivers? I see in your screenshot it says 2012, on mine it is 2014.
Did you set Windows to gather drivers automaticaly from the internet?

This is how my PC recognizes my phone. The driver seems to be old, but I've configured Windows for downloading drivers automatically and that is all it can do.
Today, th PC did not recognized the phone at once. Then I unmounted and mounted back the MicroSD card and the PC recognized it.
But, after few seconds of folder browsing, the PC lost the connection. I'm thinking that the problem is the SD card.
Solved!
Solved!
It was the USB cable.
I replaced it with an original one and now it works.
Thank you everybody for your effort!
sorry if this problem is mentioned before in the forum. i tried searching in forum and google as well, but couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
i am having a problem while pairing my Xperia ZR with my PC (Windows 7 64-bit SP1). i had successfully paired my ZR with my PC few months ago but few days i accidentally deleted the pairing setting on my ZR. now when i am trying to pair again i cannot do it. below are the steps i do:
1. connect my ZR to my PC via USB (MTP mode)
2. in My Computer right click on my ZR in Portable Devices
3. select Network Configuration
4. a Portable Device Network Configuration window opens, i click on Next
5. at this point the Portable Device Network Configuration freezes on "Transferring settings on your device" screen. i have to End Task it to close it.
i have tried removing device drivers and reinstalling them through PC Companion, no help.
i have uninstalled PC Companion and downloaded latest version from Sony website, still no help.
the last time when i was able to pair it successfully i was on Jelly Bean. now i am on Kitkat. could somehow this be the problem causing factor?
please help. i have been trying to resolve this since many days now.
nobody? please help me guys...
Sorry! I have a very similar problem, cannot connect on Wi-Fi with computer at all, since kitekat. Been reading forums for solutions, couldn't find anything that helped. I just gave up.

SOLUTION
Alright, it is for the benefit for every sony xperia user that i chose to register for this xda developer account and post the probable solution. Least for me...
For quite a period of time i have been trying and trying but to no avail. Well, guess what all you need to do is to include your device as part of the exception that could be blocked off if you do not include it in your exception list. MEDDLE WITH YOUR ANTI-VIRUS/FIREWALL/SMART SECURITY SUIT...whatever you could find that will hinder you to connect your xperia with your pc wirelessly. Also, make sure you don't give up and throw your phone into some fire since the phone is with some water resistant ability i figured it wouldn't kill if you throw it into the water. HAHAHA. Anyway, yes it is the firewall that got into the way for me and i did pair up successfully until the stage when the device is suppose to connect to the phone then it just said failed to connect no matter how many times i tried. Okay, issue solved i hope? Happy connecting wirelessly! =D

I just bought an Acer Iconia One 8 B1-810 and I have a few questions.
First of all, is there already a way to root this device, or else is the root under way?
Secondly, is there another way than rooting the tablet if I want to get rid of the bloatware? There are many pre-installed Google, Acer and Amazon apps I'd like to get rid of.
Now, am I right to assume that to get rid of the bloatware, I can simply stop and deactivate the apps I don't want, and then erase the corresponding .apk and .odes files in the appropriate folder? Or is there something else that I must do?
Thanks for helping; the Iconia One 8 B1-810 is a fine tab, but this bloatware is driving me insane!
Best Regards and a Happy New Year from the South of France.

Dead link and a few questions
[email protected]Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I've got a few questions/comments:
- The first link doesn't work, unfortunately.
- Will this root work for all Intel-based Android tabs?
- I wen t to Acer's website. There are no USB drivers to download for the Iconia One 8 B-810. I already connected my tab to my laptop, though, and it was recognised by Windows 8.1. Does this mean that the USB drivers might already be installed by default on the laptop?
Thanks for helping,
Best Regards.

The link is now fixed, sorry for that.
-it works on several acer/levorno models, inclusive Acer Ionica One 8 B1-810, I just rooted my yesterday.
-About the drivers no, you have to install ADB drivers, to do that download Cydia Impactor extract the downloaded files to your desktop run the app under USB chose Driver Scan and install the driver and you are ready to start .
Root
Hello,
Thank you for all this information. I will try to root my Iconian One 8 B1-810 over the weekend and tell you whether I succeeded or not.
Best Regards
Error Message!
Hi again,
I downloaded Cydia Impactor and tried to upload the drivers to my device as you said but it doesn't work. I connect the tablet to the computer with an USB cable, launch Cydia Impactor, choose USB then Driver Scan but all I get an error message stating No such device. Any idea about what I am doing wrong?
Since you have already rooted your tablet, could you possibly attach the drivers here or send them in a private message? This would really help me.
Best Regards.

hi, in order to install the drivers, you have to activate the "USB debugging" option under the "developer options" on you device.
then run Impactor.
if that fails, tomorrow I will leave you a backup of my drivers on attch.
Did not work for me
Hi guys, thanks for the post but this does not work on my B1-810. When my tablet reboots it does not boot into CWM. Can anybody tell me what the message in the attached screenshot means?

Hello Alexys77
I have got the same problem as Slithertooth and i get exatly the same screenshots on my B1-810 when I start launcher.bat on the computer.
Many thanks for uploading your drivers here. I downloaded the .zip file on my computer but I don't know where to start.
Could you please tell us which files we need and how we must install them on the computer after dezipping?
Sorry if I ask silly questions, but this is the first time I am atempting to do this (I rooted a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 a long time ago, but it was a one-click root-thing).
Thanks again for helping,
vbdx66.
hi slithertooth and vbdx66 thats easy to resolve .
This screenshots mean that the ADB drivers are not correctly installed.
To resolve this, with your tablet in Droidboot mode and connected, go to device management on your PC and find driver with a "yellow ?" click properties click on update navigate to unzipped drivers and click ok.
Then execute launcher.bat file again.

Hello Alex,
I have a question, too. What do you mean by Droidboot Mode exactly?
Thanks.

i mean Fastboot mode, Acer call it Droidboot.
-power off your tablet , then press V+ and Power, old it for a few seconds and release it when Acer logo pops up.
it worked!
I booted into "droidboot" and then connected to my laptop with usb debugging enabled. Then i downloaded Cydia impactor and using the USB drop down menu in this small program I was able to successfully instal the needed drivers. CWM then came up following the previous instructions.
Now can we flash ROMs on this tablet???
Success!
Well guys, I went through the whole process again, which was very tedious to say the least, and apparently it worked, SU is now flashed on my B1-810!
I now have Root Access in ES explorer, so this is simply brilliant. I can now access the external SD card or without restrictions again, which is just what I was looking for
Something strange, though: I installed Root Checker and it says me my tab is not rooted... Can it come from the B1-80 running an 'exotic' Intel Bay Trail processor?
I would be very interested to know what results you guys get from Root Checker after the whole rooting process is completed. Does Root Checker also tell you your B1-810 is not rooted even though it is? Is there another way to check that the tab is properly rooted, or can it be 'half-rooted' or something of the kind?
Best Regards to all and many thanks to Alex for the great job done
Update - Tablet Rooted
Hi again guys,
According to another root checking programming, my tab is properly root. Screen capture in attach. This time I used the Root Checker programming from Free Android Tools.
Update - I checked properly again, and now the other progrwm, Root Checker Basic developed by joeykrim, also tells me my tab has full root access. Cheers!
And Now That B1-810 is rooted, what?
My main concern to root this tab was to get full access to the external SD card again (done) and to definitely get rid of the bloatware, which comes unfortunately in quantities on the Acer B1-810. I already deactivated many apps I won't I use, like Email and Gmail (I use Aquamail) and Acer Docs, Acer Music, etc.
Now that the device is rooted, can someone who's already done this can tell we whether, under root, there is a safe and efficient way to completely uninstall these unwanted apps, like any 'normal' app downloaded from Google Play? Should I just suppress the relevant apk's with ES explorer or could this make the system unstable?
Furthermore, is there a way to control which apps the tab will start when booting?
And lastly, is there any way to tell the KitKat Camera app that it should store the pictures on the external SD card by default?
Any other things you guys are willing to do now that your tab is rooted? I am curious.
Best Regards.

I deleted anything I didn't want using es file explorer. Navigate to the system app list from the dropdown menu and delete all the bloat you want. I deleted quite a bit and just disabled anything I was unsure of and I've run into no problems yet.
Which system apps to delete?
@slitertooth: Could you please be more specific? This is the first time I am doing this and I am afraid of damaging the device. If you don't mind, which apps did you deactivate and which did you completely uninstall?
Thanks.
