It sounds like your device's custom file manager is causing issues with the DSU Sideloader. Here are a couple of suggestions to work around this problem:
If possible, you can try to reinstall the default DocumentsUI file manager. This can sometimes be done by installing the APK manually.
This might solve the issue with DSU Sideloader looking for the default file manager.
Since you mentioned using Total Commander, you could try to set it as the default file manager temporarily. Unfortunately, not all apps allow you to choose the default file manager. However, you can try the following steps:
Grant Default File Manager Permission:
Settings
> Apps
> Default apps
> File manager
.Use a File Manager That Allows Setting Paths Manually:
If DSU Sideloader has a configuration file, you might be able to set the temp space path manually. Here’s how you can check:
Locate DSU Sideloader's Configuration File:
/data/data/com.package.name/
or /sdcard/Android/data/com.package.name/
.config.json
or settings.xml
.Edit the Configuration File:
As a last resort, you can use adb
and fastboot
to manually install the GSI:
Reboot to Fastboot Mode:
adb reboot fastboot
Flash the GSI Image:
fastboot flash system <path-to-gsi-file>
Reboot the Device:
fastboot reboot
If none of the above solutions work, consider reaching out to the DSU Sideloader developer and requesting the feature to choose a different file manager. Many developers are open to feedback and might incorporate your suggestion in future updates.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know!
Thank you for the answer! I've already tried 1, 2, 4, no luck.
I'll try suggestion number 3 and get back to you. How can I contact DSU developer? I didn't find any e-mail address or other contact info.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
Hello! I have an issue. The vendor of my device has removed the default documentsui file manager and installed their own. As a result, when DSU sideloader starts and asks to select a temp space path, when I click on setup it crashes. Obviously it's looking for the default file manager and can't find it. I had this with issue with other apps, but they offer a choice to select an alternative file manager. I have Total Commander installed and I use that with the apps that offer the choice.
Could you please add an option, when I click on the setup button to offer me to choose which file manager I want to use?
If not could you please tell me how to manually set (perhaps in a config file) the default path?
Please help cause I'm stuck here. Thank you!
