Two questions - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have tow questions:
1) How do I tell the Music app to scan only specified forlders on my SD card to look for music files?? I have star-translate and text-to-speech service installed and the Music app also brings up those translated sounds, which is very annoying.
2) ASTRO can no longer create folders on my SD card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but this did not fix the problem. I just cannot press the "create" button. However, Linda file manager creates folders fine. Any way to sort this out? Anyone else got this problem?
Thanks for your help and comments

Any help guys??!!

You can add in a .nomedia file to folders you don't want included in the Music app. More details can be found here.

I read that thread... thanks for sharing. But this does not seem to be the best solution, rather it is a very complicated one which I never expected from Android. I mean the best way should be to tell the Music player which folders to include and which not to include.
Is it REALLY not possible?? If so, then c'mon all the Dev community!! It is a very fundamental issue which needs your attention ASAP. I should be saying this to the Google people but I don't think they are gonna be as helpful as you guys

[Q] What about the "ICON PACKS"???

I' m getting prety angry to tell you the truth!!! I really don't want to bother users to explain the same thing over and over again, but it seems in general, almost no one "TAGS" their questions!!!
I' ve been spending most of the time searching for the answers to some very basic questions and I just cannot believe people get anything done thru search results to the most of their problems. I like to think of myself as far from being stupid and unresourceful and yet I' ve had it with spending so much time looking for solutions!!!
Those of you who know what you are doing are getting it done. Those of us who are yet learning are doing it by trial and mistake, or what??! Well, I for one am not like that! I like to know all the facts and the theory before I do something!
So, to get to the chase...
Please answer me this:
- When I dl. an ICON PACK in a .ZIP format, file, where to put that or what to do with it, before using the icons with ie. Folder Organiser? (there are .PNG files in the folder...)
I get the part on how to change the icons, but no one explains on the above. In plain and simple english, the answer please?
So for the future enthusiasts, let this be a first for all the "noobs" to find the simple and direct answer to the problem! I'll even tag it correctly...
Thank you for understanding and for your help.
I already answered your other question so stop whining. Just extract the zip to your sd card. And then you can select the icons using whatever app.

DON'T BOTHER WITH ANSWERING...
After some more wasted time, I've managed to find this, And just as in all the other cases the answer came in a topic related to my issue, yet a stumbled upon it by accident and not by searching the forum... That's why so much time gets wasted! So many people and no one seems to be bothered by the logistics. Do you acctually realize how hard it is to help ourselves with the thing which is acctually created to be helpfull??!!
Anyways... Here is the solution for all you noobs. Hope this spares you some time...
(1) Download some Icons from the Market. Search the Market for "Icons" and "Icon Packs", most are free and will install on your phone. Most Icon Packs will say you need Bettercut or Open Home to use them, ignore this - they work just fine with FolderOrganizer (and any other app that can change icons)
(2) Optional - Download some icons from the internet. The best way to get icons from the internet to your phone is using a PC and transferring them to your SD card by USB. To do this, create a new folder on your PC called "Icons" or whatever you want to call it. You can create a new folder with a different name for each set of icons you download, which makes them easier to find later. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and select "Disk Drive". Open your SD card on your PC using Explorer and copy your Icons folder to the SD card (don't put it inside an existing folder on your SD card, just add it to the top level directory). When the copy is complete, unplug the USB cable and the phone will scan the SD card and find your new icons. (Note: an alternative method is to connect your phone to your PC as a Disk Drive before you start, create a new icons folder on your SD card and download the icons directly to your SD card - just select the icon folder on the SD card as the save location)

BTW, I'm not angry at anyone, just the way the world operates... Ufff...
Sorry 'Kev!!! A thousand APPOLOGIES... Did not refresh the page so I've missed the answer... In general, I was pissed by the amount of time spent for such a minor problem... Otherwise I'm not such a nag.
Thanks anyway.

[Q] niv database for youversion?

Anyone have the NIV database for the YOUVERSION Bible app? If it follows the naming scheme of the others, it should be something like niv.1.sqlite3 possibly in either
sdcard\.youversion\
or
data\.youversion\
I got it on my old phone when they were offering it as a download, got the atrix, formatted the sd card and now I don't have the database. Anyone who downloaded it during that window willing to post it?
me also. I want the niv .sqlite3 file of YouVersion app. I lost my Nexus One which has the niv offline version. The niv offline version is not available anymore to download it into my Nexus S =(
Anybody here please share the file
Thanks
- Warner
Me, too
I'm also trying to recover my previously downloaded NIV (and NLT) versions. If anyone is willing to share, that would be great.

I need the same thing.... I changed SD cards. My old one went bad and I lost everything.
I have both NIV and NLT sqlite3 files from my iPhone but they cause FC when I put them on my Inspire. Any ideas?
If you share the files with me, I'll stick them on my droid and see what happens. ndimmickpublic AT gmail dot com.
monsterofmen, Thanks for sharing those files. I was unable to get them to work on my Moto Droid. I copied them into the the .youversion (hidden) folder on the SD card and could then select them from the bible list. However, the app force closes every time after selecting one of the two bible you provided. I removed the files, and the app works fine again. I don't have any idea what to do next.

No problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out.

I'd love to see the files, maybe we could alter a few things in the headers to get them to work?

I've done a little investigating. It appears that the iPhone files that you guys are passing around are structurally a little different than the Android versions.
The iPhone files doesn't appear to have the verses in two different tables encoded, on the Android those two columns are encoded. I'm not sure how they are encoded though.
btw, If anyone has the Android version of the NLT Bible and wouldn't mind sharing...... Also, Thanks ndim for the file.
Hey, do you know if the niv.db would work on the blackberry? Could you please allow me to try them to find out? [email protected].... Thanks!!
If anyone would be as kind to share the android db with me [email protected] i would like to try
I still only have the iPhone versions of the NIV an NLT. I would love to get the Android versions, too. ndimmickpublic AT gmail.com.
So, Has anyone successfully added the iPhone files back to the YouVersion Bible app? Version 3.5?
I was able to open the app on my mac, but I don't see any sqlite files. If someone could shed some light on it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
For iPad?
I would like to try it on my ipad2. If someone can pass me that file I can give it a try.

[Q] Transfer system ringtone files to SD

I have been doing a lot of searching and cannot find the answer as to how to transfer ringtones from the phones internal storage to the SD card.
I am running Cyanogenmod 7 and under the settings for the ringtones, at the top I have ringtones in english text and at the bottom I have ringtones in chinese text. I really like the chinese ringtones but are not available in the newer version of cyanogenmod 7.
I have check the sounds with the SD card removed from the phone and the ringtones I want to transfer are on the phone itself. I searched in \system\media\audio\ringtones and I can only find the english ringtones. I can not seem to find the ringtone anywhere in the directory tree. The only place I have access to the ringtones is in the sound settings. I even went as far as making a backup in recovery and extracting the .img files to possibly get the ringtones there.
I have attached 2 pictures of the settings where I see the ringtones.
At this point I am completely out of ideas. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really like to keep these ringtones for my next rom update. Thanks in advance.
I found one ringtone online 月下江南
I did find one ringtone online from here "mobile.91.com/Ring/32308.html" (still cannot post outside links). The other one will be more of a challenge since the characters are more complex. I hope I can get the others out of the phone. If you have any ideas, please reply. If I figure something out along the way, I will post my solution.

[Q] Song duplicate deleter app

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but ill go for it anyway.
I'm looking to build a basic app that will scan your phone for song duplicates and give you the option to delete some or all the duplicates that it finds ... the only problem? My coding levels are minimal ... would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of some code that could get me off on a head start? (Generally once i'v seen a working code i can figure out how it works and implement it how i need too)
Thanks in advance,
