OK, so I installed some games to my SD card. I just updated my LEO Rom to v13. Now I dont know how to get the icons for them back on the device and show on the start page. Im sure there is someone who knows how to to do this. Please help!!! I have looked through this forum so long I have gone blind. Thanks.........
browse to the folder for the game, one file will probably be an .exe file, press and hold, copy, browse to the windows/start menu/programs folder and choose menu edit paste shortcut
Some bits of software might require reinstalling on a new rom, but they are few and far between.

Thanks. Also, is there any way to create a new link in the start menu to the .exe on the storage card?

Anyone find this problem, my File Explorer not response when I try to copy or delete some file. Onely End task can stop that error, event i make soft reset still come error again.
Thanks
I have a similar problem...
However, for mine, when I copy and paste a file, the "hourglass" keeps going and going and going. After a while I just press the X and close the application.
When I open it again the file I was moving is moved and everything is where it should be (ie. copy and paste was successful)
I've got the I-mate 1.72 rom

Same problem as yours... The problem doesn't exist if using third party explorer.
I have another problem which made me decided to hard-reset it: Whenever I install an apps or game, I could not find the newly installed program shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games, I would need to soft-reset my device to make it appear.
I know how to resolve this problem
first goto Start---Program---AutoConfig-- then change network you want or leave default your system will running smooth again.
DON"T WORRY, your data will not lose.
Thanks
Actually, there is an awesome program you can use instead of the MS File Explorer. I just installed this because of these headaches, works good!

Some reasons
1. No compatible new fonts (may be for dictionary) with File Explorer
2. No compatible new themes (ppc2002) with File Explorer
Solution
Delete new font from windows/fonts
Back to theme windows default then soft reset
Hi all,
In my previous Sprint Mogul ROM, I can safely remove HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and sddaemon.exe by going to \Windows\Startup folder. This is per recommendation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334536&highlight=htc_cm_guardian.exe
These 2 files created havoc in my previous ROM, including slow connection and short battery life.
However, with the new Official Sprint ROM (which enable GPS) function, I can NO longer remove it because:
1) It's no longer shown in \Windows\Startup folder
2) It's not shown anywhere in the Registry
3) Moving the file to a temp folder (Storage Card) somehow recreate the file.
Any suggestion?
What if when you moved the file to the temp folder, you created a folder or blank text file in the /Windows directory with the same name as the guardian.exe? that might prevent it from recreating itself and starting up.
Or try copying/pasting a blank text file of the same name into /Windows and overwrite the exe

I did, but I found out the file is a ROM file, so it's protected. I can copy to a Storage Card, but deleting or replacing it with a bogus file (I created a text file with the same .exe name) will give error that the file is protected.
In the past, I leave the actual .exe alone but just removed the startup shortcut in \Windows\startup. But I could not find any references in the Startup folder or Registry on how the file is started.

I've tried Resco Explorer and it won't allow for a deletion of the .exe either.
So the file cannot be deleted. Anyone know how the file is loaded everytime the device reboot? note that it's NOT loaded from \Windows\Startup nor registry.
I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't even show up as a running task or service...
I just made a new connection and set that as my new default one as I was tired of it removing my DNS entries.
are u sure it boots up or the could have renamed it
Yes, it started by itself. I reset my device and using Memaid and SKTool I can see it starting again.

I can confirm that this works. Using resco explorer I changed the attributes from a read only file and then copied a text file overtop.

i tried to change the attributes using total commander and it just resets the settings right back after saving. still stuck...
ok i even tried using resco explorer. it says that its a file in the rom and it cant be deleted. and that was after changing the attributes as well. both times i also killed the running process. are you using the new rom?

I believe the key here is that he 'copied a text file overtop'.
I don't think you can change attributes or delete a rom file, just copy over it.

OK, I didn't bother checking the attributes after the change... Was up past 4 and was trying to remove both the Guardian and ssdaemon. After a success with copy over one I decided to rush and just repeat exactly what I did to the other.

hard reset (so you'll lose everything) then DO NOT let customizations run!!!!
it won't be installed. if you need something else from the extROm you can enable it and selectively install cabs.

On my other Android devices I can simply put a . in front of folders that I don't want the gallery to display (such as avatar pics and shortcut icons and what not) and it wouldn't. Then I could use eStrongs file manager or similar to browse to them when I needed them. I popped a 2GB MicroSD card I had laying around that already had some files on it from another Android device and ALL of the folders with images are showing up in the gallery... even those with a . in front of them.
Is there any way on an Archos 101 to set the Gallery to NOT display items inside of a '.' folder? Seems this is default with other Android devices so I'm hoping it's at least an option on these.
Ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Moved to general as not android development.

Create a 0kb file called .nomedia. Place it in the folder of items you don't want shown. That should work.

Doesn't appear to work. I searched before posting this and found a few things about .nomedia and thought maybe you had to rename the actual folders w/the images within to .nomedia to hide them? Seems like this would be a PITA way to go about it.
Am I doing something wrong? Any other ideas?

It should work just fine. Did you name the file specifically .nomedia? No ext name. Did you reboot to see if that helps? Did you put the file in the folder of the items you don't want showing?
Here is some more specific instructions (I didn't write them):
1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file with the filename “.nomedia”, make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing picture files you don’t want to show up in the gallery. (Example: If you want to block aDyno image files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/aDyno folder)
4. Reboot your phone and hopefully the unwanted files should no longer be viewable.

Alright, w/more information I tried it again. I created a file just using a file browser on the device. This time around I created a file in Notepad on my PC called .nomedia and made sure the filetype was set to 'all files' before saving and that there was no extension (deleted the .txt) and then copied that file to my Archos 101. I first tried in the folder on the SD card that contained all the folders in question. I rebooted and it didn't seem to help. I then copied the file into each folder and rebooted. Still no dice. Whenever I open Gallery all the folders and images are still there. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to clear a cache or something or delete any tumbnails or ?? I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I keep searching and am coming up with nothing. This was SO easier on my other Android devices as I just put a period in front of the name of the folders I didn't want to display and it was done. Simple as that. This is a royal PITA and I feel I'm not making any progress.
In the market search Studiokum or .nomedia. whit this app is easy control. Nomedia files

Do either of these allow you to simply hide w/o signing in or encryption? I found two other programs & both required this which I don't want to deal with. Just seems odd that others are saying this is working for them & I'm not having any luck. I don't mind installing an app as long as it works but I'm not sure why my Archos 101 would be different than the rest.

As the title says, how do I move a folder to the tablet's "desktop", the main screen that you get after the tablet is finished booting.
Running currently CM7.0.3
Thanks.
As for moving the folder itself I have no idea, however if you want to create a shortcut on the tablets "desktop" then simply install Astro File Manager, long press on the desktop, choose add item, shortcut, ASTRO & then choose the appropriate folder.
Just be sure to hit okay quickly after you choose your folder otherwise it will take you into any subfolders within the parent folder (that is unless you choose to create a shortcut for a subfolder)
If you use es file explorer all you need to add is es bookmark manager beta to do this. Just tested it.
Hmm, I wonder if this is a ROM specific issue. I'm using Beasty's ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573). When I long press on the home screen, one of the items I can add to the home screen is folders. I added a "Recent Documents" folder to the desktop to test. From the other comments, it sounds like there are a few alternatives if your ROM doesn't have a direct option to add folders to the home screen.
Hi! Can somebody please tell if it is possible to create a folder on the desktop of Galaxy Note where I could put my favorite files of different types - mp3s, docs, videos etc?
It is very simple to create a new desktop folder but I have no idea how to fill it with the files I want
Also, is it possible to create a desktop shortcut to a data folder (with music etc)? Thank you very much in advance for help.
The only way to fill a folder with files is:
Make a folder in your SD card with the files you want
Download Astro file manager
Long tap on home screen
Choose 'add shortcut'
Find astro shortcut
Choose the folder
So you have a shortcut of your folder, but you'll open it with astro....
Hope I helped you

Thank you very much! Actually I was hoping to do it without an extra app, but this is also a very good solution.
