- q: Where can I find the modified Samba source code?
a: Here it is. - q: Why my transfer speed decrease when I turn off the screen?
a: Enable the option 'Lock Wifi'. If your device is running at least Android 2.3.x, you should get full speed transfer even when the screen is off, otherwise enable the option 'Lock screen' too. - q: How can I automate the application start/stop?
a: Use the following broadcast intents:- START: berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START
- STOP: berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.STOP
- If you are a Tasker user, please follow these steps (thanks to bcrook)
- Create a new Task (eg. Start SambaDroid) in Tasker
- Add a new action > Misc > Send Intent
- Set the action to berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START , Cat = None, the rest you can leave as defaults
- Save the action and task
- Repeat for berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.STOP intent
- Create a profile to trigger the tasks (or launch w/ NFC or whatever you want)
If you want to translate SambaDroid into a new language:
- download the attached file translate.zip
- edit the xml inside the zip (strings.xml) in this way:
Original line:<string name="ftp_user_invalid_password">Invalid password</string><string name="ftp_user_invalid_password">My translation of Invalid password</string>
- Attach in this topic a modified version of the file or send me a pm with the download link (please remember to indicate the new language!)
I'll be glad for every contribution
