New Nexus 7 Help (2nd Gen) / Transfer bookmarks from nexus 7 to 7.2?
« on: August 17, 2013, 11:10:11 AM »
Suggestions for the best way to transfer bookmarks from the N7 to the new n7.2 - without doing it through Google cloud?

2
Nexus 7 (2012) and windows 7 pc.

I used to USB connect the two and the nexus 7 would appear as a drive on the pc. I must have changed something (while trying to root my newer nexus 7.2) and now the nexus 7 no longer appears as a drive on the pc. When I usb connect the old nexus 7 it installs its drivers and connects but doesn't appear as a storage device.
I've switched usb debug setting both ways with no difference. Is there another setting I am forgetting about that I need to change for the nexus to appear as a drive on the pc?

New nexus 7.2, with the 2 ota updates. Using Wugfresh toolkit 1.6.8 to root.

Uninstalled drivers and installed new ones.  I'm now at step 3 and the toolkit says "adb not found". Tried different usb port, developer debug changes are done but adb remains unfound.

What to do?

While I'm waiting for my nexus 7.2 to arrive, I thought to ask about rooting. I am aware of the various toolkits, etc. for rooting, but I read 'somewhere' that because of the changes in 4.3 rooting may not be as necessary. Did I misread? Won't it still be necessary to root 4.3 to fully use apps like titanium, Stickmount, Tasker, etc.?

Nexus 7 Help / No screen shortcut?
« on: July 21, 2013, 06:56:59 AM »
Nexus 7 running android 4.2.2. Nova launcher.

I purchased "piano melody pro" from Amazon's free day app and it works fine. But when the app installed, it didn't create an icon on the home screen (or any other screen) as usually happens when I install an app and yes there is room and no error message. 

Also I can't find it in the Nova's list of installed apps to  create a screen shortcut for it. (It does appear in the android /settings and /apps). So the only way I can start it is to go to amazon where it is shown as purchased and open it from there. That is really weird!

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Nexus 7 Audio/Video / Mp3 ringtones
« on: July 03, 2013, 09:17:32 PM »
I have some Mp3 files I want to use in my Nexus 7 wifi, (not 3G). I found the folder for notifications and its contents are all ogg files.

Can mp3 files be used as ringtones (in Talkatone)?

Where would I put them so Talkatone can read and use them? Do I need to convert the mp3 files to ogg format first? How?

Thank you.

Nexus 7 Help / Texting from wifi Nexus 7
« on: June 20, 2013, 02:07:18 PM »
I have been using Talkatone to text from my Nexus 7 wifi. But lately it has been repeatedly crashing so I'm looking for another app.

Is anyone using "mighty text"? How do you like it and how stable is it?

Any other options that would use my android smartphone number?

Thanks.

Nexus 7 Help / Date in notification bar?
« on: May 19, 2013, 01:09:44 PM »
Currently my notification bar shows on the right the Wifi icon, battery icon, and the time. On the left I have icons from the installed notification toggle app.

How do I make the notification bar show *both* date and time? Is there a built in android setting to do that?

Nexus 7 Help / What is the tunnybrowser folder?
« on: May 12, 2013, 06:59:32 AM »
There is a folder in sdcard named tunnybrowser. Seems to be possibly connected with Dolphin browser.

If it is connected with Dolphin browser, the use of a different name makes me suspicious. I renamed it and Dolphin seems to work no differently.

What is tunnybrowser? Can I delete it?

« on: May 09, 2013, 03:15:53 PM »
Does android have macro capabilities for repetitive tasks?

If not, is there an app that adds that ability?

Nexus 7 Help / Accessing TaintDroid
« on: April 17, 2013, 08:37:29 AM »
Is anyone using TaintDroid?
http://appanalysis.org/

Apparently it cannot be installed as a simple app. Does "LBE security master" do something similar? Anything else?

I'm quite concerned about the permissions issue in android, especially during updates. It is not practical to scrutinize app permissions especially when their descriptions are usually broad and vague.

Nexus 7 Help / Transfer calendar data from phone to nexus 7
« on: April 11, 2013, 11:17:05 AM »
How can I transfer my calendar data from my android 2.3.4 phone to my Nexus without going through Google?

Both the phone and the Nexus are rooted. Which file do I transfer?

Thanks.
