I was wondering how to copy the FULL MOVIE of avatar to my girlfriends sd card from mine? I am asking because she accidently deleted her copy????
I just bought a new SD card and copied the old one directly to it. Avatar plays from my new card just fine.
Dunno if there's some copy protection linked to the phone or just you have to have a Vibrant to play it.
I also moved from my 2GB SD Card to my 8GB without any problems.
As Col. stated though, I don't know if it'll work on another phone.

Ok,so while I am glad that it worked for the both of you,I still do not know how to do it.
So can one of you walk me through the steps in doing it? lol Thanks guys.
When you mount your phone through usb it'll open two auto play windows. One with a folder that says movie and the other your sd card. Find the avatar dcf file and copy it to your hard drive. Then unmount your phone and connect your girls phone and copy the movie to her movie folder. Done.

You can apparently play it on any Vibrant. The copy from my first Vibrant plays fine on my replacement.
Ok guys,so here's the deal.
I was able to get the movie back on my girls phone and it played,but tell me if you also have this problem.
Does yours also now only play from your gallery movie folder and not the avatar icon? Weird. I'm sure a factory reset will make it work again but just don't wont to do that at the moment.
Thanks vibrant fam!

create a folder in you sdcard and name it Movie. Put the movie in there. Your external sdcard... and the movie should play by pressing the icon.
So what if I renamed it avatar instead of movie? Do u think that could be why it does not play from the icon?

Yea, I believe so. The actual movie has to be inside your sdcard in a folder called "Movie" if not, the app will not find the directory it's looking for.
Ok so thats what im doing when I get home(renaming folder). Ill let u know if it works.

Ok,it worked. I renamed it back to "movie" and now the avatar icon plays the movie as well. Thanks for the help!
That's a huge chunk of space in your SD card....I just moved mine over to my phone's 16 GB of storage. Yeah the "app" doesn't work, but I can launch it from the video player just fine.

This app is for people who want to show off the Avatar movie on the vibrant but deleted the movie from their SD card or are using a different SD card.
You will probably want to delete the stock app from your system if you haven't already, and you have root permissions.
YOU MUST HAVE AN AVATAR MP4 ON YOUR SDCARD TO USE THIS APP
This app will NOT work with the stock copy-protected movie. You must use your own Avatar movie in a supported format.
What to do:
1. Install app.
2. Open app and select your Avatar video file from the video list.
3. Pick video player and set as default when prompted.
4. That's it! After picking the video for the first time the app will automatically play the movie when the app is opened.
Enjoy

Yeah, me too. But I would like to have the original icon to work in the new location. Digging around I found the movie was set up more like and apk then a simple shortcut to the app, probably to keep us from screwing around too much.
Anyone have any luck reassigning the original icon with logo to the movie in a new location like the system SD? Launcher Pro Plus has a great deal of flexibilities with shortcuts, but I could not get there from it. Looks like I need to edit the apk file. That could be fun, anyone done this yet or know how I could?

I flashed bi-winning (great rom), however avatar is no longer on my phone. this is strange because i've flashed many times and avatar is never effected. this time, however, it is gone, the trailer is still there though. I was thinking it's just hidden somewhere on my sd card, what do you think?
this also happened with the sims 3. i flashed a rom and it dissapeared, although i haven't seen the sims on my phone in a while.
finding avatar and sims
avatar should be in the movie folder of your external SD, the only reason it shouldn't be there is if you switched cards. and check your root folder for the sims 3.apk files, if you don't have it I keep a copy of it just let me know if you want it.
I found avatar. It has a pyv extention for some reason. As far as looking in the root folder. Where is the root folder?

Root is just your sd card. Not in any folder on your sd card.
Like on your computer root = c: NOT c:/anyfolder
legitimate. i always wondered what happened too....
finding root folders
you will need to have rooted your phone, then with root explorer or something similar go to data/app/ and you will see most of your .apk files that you have ever downloaded from the market. sims will be in this one. just run the .apk to reinstall the game. I always manually copy this folder to my external to make it easyer if my backups fail.
Normally when you flash a rom Avatar is still there, you just need to go to video player to watch it because the roms remove the icon for it but not the movie
Great info on the Sims. Thank-you. As far as avatar goes. I've always been able to open the movie through the gallery. Now all I see in the gallery is the trailer. Let me check this stuff out and ill let you know what has worked
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Edit: searched through root explorer and the sims is not there, that isn't a big deal. I suppose i could flash a rom where i know ive seen avatar and save it to my sd card from there, again, this isn't a big deal either. I mostly like to pull it up and show people how awesome our screens are.
Update: just flashed back to trigger. Avatar is back. Im not sure what the deal is with this

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but after I flashed trigger I moved avatar to the root of my SD card. It was viewable. I then went back to bi-winning and it was the same story as before. I found avatar but it was not viewable. I think this is rom related.

Its Kernel related. I've tried a bunch of times but for some reason Avatar won't work on the Overstock Kernel

I think it must be rom related. Avater worked for me on bionix 1.3.1, i'm currently watching it on trigger 2.9.2. I'm thinking it might have something to do with 2.2.1 roms, but that is just speculation.

I got my hands on a 4G vibrant it comes with "Inception" and its a .pyv extension the "Avatar" that came with my 3G vibrant is a .dcf extension. Both movies won't play for me unfortunately. Just thought it was weird that the extension was changed(keepin **** locked down!)
For me personally the avatar that came with the phone hasn't played in such along time i can't even remember and i've since replaced it with a mp4 copy along with mp4's of other movies! i.e. i show avatar to some buddies and get a shoulder shrug.... show them jackass3 and its "wow, thats awesome looking!" lol. to each their own i guess. I only keep these originals to check compatibility on ROMS for those on here.

I think replacing with MP4 versions is probably the best way to insure it will play. It's dumb though, samsung and T-mobile include these movies and they restrict them so they can't be copied. I understand the reasoning, i just don't agree with it
Has anyone been able to fix this? Also im on toxic firefly and swype doesnt work correctly either.

No you don't have to have same sdcard that came with phone, I transfered the contents of the sdcard that came with the phone, to a class 10 16GB sdcard and can the watch movie just fine.
Before you copy your files make sure show hidden files is selected, if not they wont be copied over, I only use Linux, but I am sure windows has an options to show hidden files or show all files something like that.
The Green Hornet files are in the root directory in a hidden directory called ./data that is about 1.8 Gig in size. It wasn't visable until I checked show hidden files in Linux Explorer.
After I did that, then I was able to watch the movie AFTER creating and HtcWatch account. But before that I would get no movie found.
It is hidden like said above. Go to tools/FOLDER OPTIONS/ENABLE HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS and it will be visible to move .

You can get rid of these crappy movie and crappy game to free up your SD card.
1. Connect your phone to PC via given USB cable
2. Be sure to mount as 'SD card' not 'USB charging' via your phone screen
3. Browse your phone's SD card via your PC
4. Crap Hornet 3D is located in ".data/HtcWatch/preload_movies/2141_0_SonyPictures_GreenHornet_3D.eny" at a whopping 1.76 GB. Delete the whole damn folder.
5. Crapman 3D game is located in "gameloft" folder at the root. Delete the whole thing. It's about 800 mb.
Viola! You just saved 2.5GB~ of your 8GB card, that's over 31% of your precious storage!

You'd really buy another SD card rather than just delete a few files off your current one? That's not exactly smart.

The only thing that was in there was a ".nomedia" file. I right-clicked to the check properties of the gameloft folder and it was listed as having "0 KB".
I'm thinking Spider-man downloads to your SD card only if you initially press the app icon.
What about "move to SD" through the Applications list?
Great post... Thanks for the tips and the extra space on the usdram card.. Also nice to see the Hornet and Spidey gone.

OK guys! Now don't hate me. I know this has probably been asked many times before. So don't hate me, just looking for help. I download a lot of my music from the app called " mp3 music downloader". My question is " all my songs are being put into my USB storage not my external SD card. I have a 32 gig SD card that I want all my music to download too. Well one is how do I move all my music files from my USB to SD storage? and 2 how do I set it up that whenever I download music it automatically goes on my external SD card? Thank you to anyone that is willing to help a newbie.

I believe in the USB settings you must select, "mass storage mode" when connected
When you plug your note into your computer- if you run windows autoplay should recognise 2 seperate forms of storage. Usueally drive," I: " is your external SD
You can open both and simply recognise the difference between the two and your computer will recognise the amount of storage on both there is. So it should be easy to identify your external SD
For your sake, if your transferring music or anything for that matter organize it on your computer into folders- although generally the note recognizes the entire card with or without orginization; I just prefer not to mix my music with my backups in the same place
If you have any further questions feel free to PM me!
