Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

I have never installed the program to microSD... I always install to device. I am not sure how you can fix your problem. I am sure someone on the board will know what's going on.

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

or anyone who knows the answer... lol
Ok so here is my problem....
everytime my phone starts it copies over the following files to the root of my storage card "pim.vol, eT9Cdb.Cdb, eT9Rudb.Rdb" so when i do a hard reset i put into the initflashfiles.dat
Directory("\"):-File("pim.vol","\storage card\pim.vol")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Rudb.Rdb","\storage card\eT9Rudb.Rdb")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Cdb.Cdb","\storage card\eT9Cdb.Cdb")
I also tried, as a test to copy them to my documents and that also did not work. Now the rom still loads and it does not freeze during first boot, if you were thinking that i did not delete the first two bytes. it just does not copy them from the storage card to the device i had it setup like this on my x7500 and it worked perfectly so im not sure what the problem is. Any thoughts ?
thanks for looking

You could try using a provxml file operation instead? Not sure if initflashfiles generally is happy about copying from a removable storage device such as the sd slot (just a guess), since in your Athena it is a fixed disk it may behave differently??
Another thing you could try is to do the copy operation as a stage of the customization process, use an xml file in there?? Perhaps the SD bus driver is not loaded until after initflashfiles has completed since really it has to run that before alot of other operations on first boot?

I'd use CPY1/CPY2 in a UC script
Code:
CPY1:\storage card\pim.vol
CPY2:\pim.vol
CPY1:\storage card\eT9Rudb.Rdb
CPY2:\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb
CPY1:\storage card\eT9Cdb.Cdb
CPY2:\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb

i thought about doing this but i read somewhere that sdautorun does not like spaces in the files path.... thanks for the info
ok so i tried using the cpy1/cpy2 and it actully worked however it did not copy over the pim.vol so i tried to copy it over manually and it let me but after i did that i could no longer press on contacts, calender, or get to the phone pad any thoughts?
I think you'll probably need to close down any process actively using the pim database before copying it over, it's probably open when you're overwriting it and getting corrupted..

i changed the reg values to my documents then changed them back, i am kindof thinking that htc may have set this up a little differently on the TP which is why i am having so much trouble but thats is only my guess
ok so im thinking part of the problem is that the pim.vol file is working with some other file for contacts, here is why: i copied the pim.vol file from my rom renamed it pim.vol_ put it into my rom and flashed it, of course i put Directory("\Windows"):-File("pim.vol","\Windows\pim.vol_") into the initflashfiles.dat file and still not contacts. so i have no idea why this does not work any thoughts. thanks
I can't seem to locate the directory folder that the new firefox app downloads to. anyone?
Nevermind, it goes right to the sdcard, no folder. I didn't see the files because the downloads failed...
can't seem to get the download folder to change.
I went into:
about:config
created a new string: browser.download.dir
set the value to: /mnt/extSdCard/Downloads/
Restarted Firefox
But still the downloads go into the sdcard/downloads
I've also tried:
/extSdCard/Downloads/
/sdcard/
/extSdCard/
/mnt/sdcard
none of these have any effect.
Any ideas?

Im also looking for changing my dl directory. It have work once for me when modifying the "browser.download.folderList" after creating the browser.download.dir string. But after reboot of firefox the next dl will go back again to the sdcard.
Wonder if anyone else could tell how to do it
creating a new string is a good step for changing your dl directory. But you should also add this step to make it work.
Modify the value of "browser.download.folderList" from 1 to 2
Thats it!!

When editing your old posts, try not to delete the original information that could have been useful to others.
People won't have known what value to put into the string.

I hate managing folders so now I use directory bind which allows me to bind two folders together. Basically you create another downloads folder on your external sd card and use directory bind to "bind" them. Checkbox to transfer contents and your downloads (source) folder will be dumped into the empty folder you've created automatically (destination must be empty when checking the box). When altering files in either downloads folder, the changes appear in both. When you look at storage, the original source folder is not calculated into your used internal storage amount even though every other app sees files in there (since that would defeat the purpose). I use it for my downloads, camera and several apps and game folders not designed to be pushed to SD. Instead of continuously resetting app download destinations, I sit back and relax knowing every app downloads to the proper place (minus the rogues who think they deserve their own folder lol). When flashing a new ROM, simply unbind everything first and disable autostart, backup with titanium backup, after restore, you should be good (depending on your new version of android in which case you may need to adjust some settings). If setting up from scratch again, assuming your working folder structure is still in tact, you can bind again without ticking the box (since the files are in their proper place and a transfer is no longer necessary).
You can get it here, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but I've tested it from Android 4.0 through 4.2.2 and it's perfect (settings adjustments will likely be required): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Hi everyone, was a solution found to that still issue? I tried to move the default download folder to the ext SD card with settings into about:config, I changed as well the "browser.download.folderList" value to 2 and add a "browser.download.defaultFolder" string, but everything failed, please does someone know what to do? Or is there another setting menu or mod/Exposed module to achieve this..?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, thanks for your help, but it still don't work for me. What I don't understand is that the path can be whether
/storage/sdcard1/Download
or
/ext_card/Download
Maybe you know why? I'm running CM11 nightlies (4.4.4) on Xperia Z2

With a r/w sd? Use a root explorer to find the path to the r/w sd
I'm very busy and sorry not to say anything for long but thank you much for your answer and help.
My path is correctly pointing the SD, I checked carefully the settings and got no success. Then suddenly Firefox began to write on ext sd, but still this is only sometimes! I tried to see if the files type or size had something to do with that behavior but it seems to be just erratic..
It actually seems that it's the "Flash Video Downloader" module who sends files into the internal storage regardless of the browser settings..
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

OP its good you figured it out. How did you change the permissions? Never heard of that..?

I have VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 (Froyo ROM) installed and when playing (or accessing) files on a microSD card it mysteriously deletes all the files in the folder. Is there another Froyo custom ROM (I need true hardware acceleration) that DOES NOT have the deleting file problem like VEGAn-Tab?
Thanks in advance

Yes, ALL OF THEM, as long as you have an empty file called .nomedia in the root of the card...(use notepad++ to create a file don't enter any text into it, and save it to the SD card as .nomedia)
google "Gtablet for Dummies" And read everythign you can, he cover's just about everything you need to know about our finicky device.
edit: you can also use root explorer to creat the file directly on the device
you gotta be ishing me! that's the fix!?!!
Any ideas why .nomedia is needed?

always has been...has always worked fine for me on BC, Vegantab 5.1.1, Calk/Clem. Of course, I took it a step farther and put the file in the root, and evey subdirectory as well...It takes up no space, so why the hell not, right?
thank goodness its just video files
