File transfer from android to linux

Android File transfer basically got two method or format which are Media device (MTP) and also for camera (PTP). However , the MTP is only suitable for windows or Mac computer, it was not compatible with the Linux. The PTP only allow you to transfer photos only but not others files.

However you can let your ubuntu to support mtp by using the "mtpfs" or "jmtpfs". Below I will show step by step how to configure the MTP service in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

First of all you need to install the mtp tools in linux, you can install by using the commands below. Open the terminal and type in the following 2 line. (ps:without the quote, and it may required you to key in your password)

"sudo apt-get install libmtp-common mtp-tools libmtp-dev lilbmtp-runtime libmtp9"
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

2nd Step you have to edit the fuse.conf file. Fuse provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own file system implementation. =| You can use any editor to edit the /etc/fuse.conf file in my example is gedit which is easier for beginners.

"sudo gedit /etc/fuse.conf"

After open the file, you have to look for the #user_allow_other, and remove/delete the "#".


#/etc/fuse.conf - Configuration file for Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)

 #Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
#The default is 1000.
#mount_max = 1000

 # Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options.
user_allow_other 

Then you can save the file by pressing Ctrl + x.

The 3rd step is set some rules for the devices ,but first of all you have to find out the vendor id and also the product id of the device you connect to the computer. Now if you havent connect your device or phone please connect it via usb port and open the terminal and key in the the command below. (PS: Agains without quote. )

"lsusb"

After you press enter, it will show the output like below.

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0fce:01b1 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0461:4d65 Primax Electronics, Ltd
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

So from the output, we can see all the devices that is connect to you computer usb port. In this case , we are using the phone from sonic Ericson then is the first lines since don't have any others brands of mobile phone. Your device is differ from mine here, so look at the description and your brand name.
So the vendor id is 0fce and the product id is 01b1 in my example. Write down/ remember your device vendor id and product id. =D

Step 4 is to change the mtp rules at the terminal.
"sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/69-mtp.rules"

 After that add the following line at the bottom of the file.
First line: change the content with your device name
idVendor == xxx ,replace "xxx"with your device vendor id just now
idProduct == yyy ,replace "yyy" with your device product id just now

=D this time with quote.

# "Please change this line to Your Device Name so that you can refer it easily next time ".

 ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="01b1", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

After that , save it.

Step 5

It also need to edit a file called 51 android rules.

"sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules"

Then add the following line at the bottom of file or inside a empty file. =|
replace the "ofce" with your device vendor id and "01b1" with your product id. Remainder :This time also is with quote.

ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="01b1", MODE=”0666"

Step 6

 Once is done then you can remove all the usb device and restart the udev service.

"sudo service udev restart"

Then reboot.

"sudo reboot now"

After reboot , you plug in your android device and it should be able to transfer file from android to your computer through MTP.

STEP 777

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word ...

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from ...

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
