AndroidForums has a guide for rooting the HTC One V. I can't post the steps here, since the link is blocked at my current location.

The way it works for me is that I use the "MTP" transfer function on my LG Optimus G, together with the Android File Transfer, which is downloadable here: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ And tadaaa! It works.

A similar question was posted entitled "Software to control mobile phone via bluetooth" over at Superuser.com on 11th December 2012 to which I responded: https://superuser.com/questions/517884/software-to-control-mobile-phone-via-bluetooth/517888#517888 My response was this: A program called Remote Professional from mobileways.de claims to be able to make calls from your PC-mobile. There is a brief article about it entitled Remotely Control Your Phone from Computer from Technize.com A youtube video and link to download the program is also included: http://www.technize.com/remotely-control-your-phone-from-computer/ However this method used a PC rather than an Apple Mac. It may well be possible that mobileways.de offer a similar program for Macs. So in theory what you have asked is perfectly plausible, if they haven't developed a program for apple macs, they may do in the near future.

Why don't you try running it on a different OS? Dual-boot linux (probably Ubuntu) you'd be able to find much more info in the community forums and/or their official documentation. I doubt that this has to do with your device, more likely some missing dependencies on your host system. (sry, I wasn't "allowed" to add this as a comment ) Additionally, in your last line of the question you mention that in the 4.1 image everything works fine, whereas in the intel 2.3 x86 image it does not. According to the documentation, graphics acceleration is supported in SDK Platform API 15 revision 3 (4.0.3) and higher. Assuming that your remark about intel 2.3 x86 and 4.1 refer to Android version 2.3 and 4.1, respectively, this would be in line with the android documentation. Furthermore, take a look at the Android Project Issue Tracker for similar bugs and updates. There's also a pertinent question on StackOverflow with some useful suggestions and user activity.

I would expect Mac to have no trouble mounting the USB storage when you connect the device over USB, but if it does you coukd try PdaNet. You can also transfer files over Bluetooth, WiFi, etc; please search for those solutions. As for syncing, we jeed to know what exactly you're trying to sync.

In my case the Android File Transfer App made my whole Macbook touch input freeze, so I had to find a away around this problem. The solution from this page worked: https://cooltrainer.org/taming-android-file-transfer-on-mac-os-x/ Kill all Android File Transfer (AFT) processes using Activity Monitor Remove AFT from your login items Remove the agent with the following terminal command: rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Android\ File\Transfer/Android\ File\ Transfer\ Agent.app Rename the agents copy with: cd /Applications/Android\ File\ Transfer.app/Contents/Resources mv Android\ File\ Transfer\ Agent.app Android\ File\ Transfer\Agent.app.disable

In Snow Leopard (sorry, I don't have a Lion to try this with): In System Preferences > Sharing, Enable 'Internet Sharing' Enable 'To computers using AirPort' Click the 'Airport Options' button and set up hotspot's network name and encryption. The AirPort will have to be off for this button to be active. 'Ok' to back out to the Sharing pref pane. On the Network Preference Pane, or on the menu bar, Turn on the AirPort. Your device should see your Mac as a WiFi access point.

What worked for me is in this answer. Are there any Android phones that allow Bluetooth PAN off the shelf? Having enabled internet sharing via bluetooth on the Mac, which doesn't need command line on recent versions at least, pair the devices and then go to bluetooth settings on the Android device, select the Mac, tap the settings gear and enable it for internet access. It seems to matter that the internet sharing is enabled before pairing the devices, but that may have been a one-off. The reason I needed to do this, is for hotel internet access where you have to pay per device, and the signal was poor so only my laptop could get a decent connection. Now Mac, iPad and 2 android tablets all online, so kids happy

tested on mac osx snow leopard and Mountain Lion: with your device unplugged go to settings->developer options disable usb debugging; Go to Settings, in wireless and network section, go to "more"->usb utilities Tap on "Connect storage to PC". Plug in your device to your mac and the tap on "Turn on USB storage" and OK. You should see your device just like an USB pen.

It's very device-specific, of course, so you'll have to follow the directions given for the device. Generally it works to follow the Linux directions for the device, except that you need ADB for Mac OS X.

The best and quickest way to use it is to obtain the tool from the Android SDK, called aapt and invoke it from the command line like this: aapt d --values badging some_apk_name.apk An example of the output is shown: package: name='foo.bar' versionCode='1' versionName='1.00' sdkVersion:'7' targetSdkVersion:'16' application: label='FooBar' icon='res/drawable/ic_launcher_icon.png' launchable activity name='foo.bar.activity'label='FooBar' icon='' uses-permission:'android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' uses-feature:'android.hardware.touchscreen' main other-activities other-receivers other-services supports-screens: 'small' 'normal' 'large' 'xlarge' supports-any-density: 'true' locales: '--_--' densities: '120' '160' '240' '320' This will extract certain but limited values and parse the encoded AndroidManifest.xml (which is binary encoded upon compilation from Java source to APK binary).

I had the same problem and a reboot did the trick for me.

First, I am an pure Android user. I have never owned an MAC, so I can't comment on everything. Since both use iCal, some kind of sync should be possible. But I wouldn't recommend that. IMAP is no problem and you lose nothing. IMAP is supported by Android's mail client and K-9. You don't need GMail for contact sync. I would recommend using Google contacts. Android's philosophy is much about cloud backup and restore, therefore it's a feature of Android. But since Google can't fore the Apps to use that or even force the manufactures to enable the BackupAgent it's not 100% available for non-Google Apps/Devices. But if you have root and TitaniumBackup, the device can easily be saved and restored completely. No problem at all here. It should work with any modern Android device. Can't comment on that I think that if you buy an Android device you should also use the Google services (besides GMail in you case, but that's no problem. I also don't use GMail, but everything else). So for 1. 3. and 6 that is Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Docs (now Google Drive, good for notes) and Google ToDo. If you ok with having your data within the Google cloud. But the synchronization is just awesome. You can use every Google service with the Google WebApps (or Chrome Apps) from you MAC Other solutions are most likely some 3rd party tools that try to build a bridge from the Google world to Apple. Which may or may not work, may needs to be purchased, etc. There are just to many pitfalls that impair the experience.

Have you considered running Android directly from the SD card? It runs great (just don't go cheap on the SD card), is surprisingly easy to set up (the hardest part for me was being patient for the Nook to finish its initial charging), and if you have any problems or change your mind, you just pop out the card and it's a bog-standard Nook again.

There's a bug that prevents the OSXFuse implementation of sshfs from working with many versions of sshd, including the one used by dropbear, which is the implementation used by most SSH server apps for Android, including SSHDroid. My solution to this problem was just to use a different SSH server app which runs the openssh sshd instead of dropbear. SSHelper is expressly designed to do this, but I prefer to start up the full-ish linux environment provided by Termux and then run sshd from that command line. This has the miraculous side effect of providing a fancy linuxy environment when you ssh in to your phone. For Termux and possibly also SSHelper, you will need to edit the sshd_config text file if you want to change certain options. SSHelper's config file lives at /data/data/com.arachnoid.sshelper/etc/sshd_config; Termux's is at /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc. You'll also have to add your public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys if you want to use public key, rather than password, authentication when you log in. The config file is the same as for openssh under Linux so that documentation applies, more or less. Also for Termux you'll have to apt install openssh in order to run sshd.

There's an article over there at the XDA Forum, titled Epic 4G Touch Root on Mac or Linux using Heimdall!. I'm not sure whether these steps apply to your device (not having the "touch" mentioned) -- but as there was no real answer yet, I thought you might give it a try. The linked article includes a video tutorial, which you might want to watch first. Described steps are as follows: Put your Epic 4G Touch in Download Mode by holding down Volume Down button and Power button together for about 10 seconds then hit Volume Up button. Connect your phone to your computer via a USB cable. Go download the appropriate binaries for your Mac (OSX) or Linux 32-bit or 64bit at glassechidna.com.au Get the file with "Binary" or "Binaries". For Mac, you will get a .DMG file you can install and for Linux, you will get a .deb file you can install. Install these files and open up a command prompt and type: heimdal You should get a bunch of syntax stuff, if so that's good, you have heimdall installed and working. Go download a rooted kernel, I recommend Zedomax Epic Touch Kernel v3: Download Zedomax Epic Touch Kernel v3 *Note - You can also download any other kernel .tar file of your liking. Browse to the directory you've download the tar file by using command "cd": cd /home/myusername/Downloads Untar the tar file: tar xvf SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar Double-check you have a zImage file in the directory by typing: ls -l Type the following to flash: heimdall flash --kernel zImage Reboot and you can check that you've rooted your phone by going to Settings->About phone and see "ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel" in Kernel version. Also you will see a new app called "Superuser" in apps. Congrats, you've been rooted with a Linux or Mac. Several more methods are described at How To | Epic 4G Touch Root, and may be even more up-to-date. So please make sure to check them as well before you start. When done, we (the community) of course appreciate your feedback which method(s) you tried and how you succeeded.

It's quite simple to turn this off. I'm using OSX 10.7.4 and I did this: I went to "System Preferences", then in the line "System" I went to "Users and Groups". At the top, there is "Password" and something like "Login Items". I went to this "Login Items" and just clicked one time in "KiesViaWifiAgent" and then in the " - " button under it. Now, I can reboot the MacBook Pro and it will not start up by itself.

BlueStacks for Mac is currently in "alpha" testing, and is probably your best option at this point, although I don't believe it provides any kind of simple per-app packaging.

I suggest you to download and install Android File Transfer software. It will solve all the problems. Once connected the device, turn on the file transfer mode from your mobile device and you are good to go!
