Hello,
I wanted to find a way to manually save my bookmarks and share them between my 3 android devices. I am using the stock browser on all 3 so I figured there should be an easy way to do this.
*** NOTE ***
For those of you who are new to Android tweaking and new to the G Tablet you will be required to root your tablet if you have not already done so. You will want to download and use RootExplorer to copy and move files around because these files do reside in an area that requires root access.
There are 3 files that you want to save; the files are located in the root of your device. The path to the files would look like this:
/data/data/com.android.browser/databases
and the 3 files you will find in that directory are:
browser.db (I expect this is the db that holds your bookmarks)
webview.db
webviewCache.db
I copied these files up to dropbox, then I fired up the other tablet and downloaded those files from dropbox. I then used RootExplorer to move the files from the dropbox folder on my SDCard to /data/data/com.android.browser/databases.
I then started my stock browser; looked at my saved bookmarks and everything was there!
I realize that you can backup and restore via Titanium Backup; however this is just a manual way to export and import your stock browser bookmarks if you ever need to do so.
Hope you find this useful!

Hey all, I'm a noob. But I got my NT pretty much where I want it to be. I realize now that the extra space is in the data file system (yeah, I can use the extra gigs). Now, my biggest problem is that my .cbz .cbr files do not have a default program or association. This is a problem because my root accessible comic readers will read to the data folder but when you open up the data folder it says nothing is there. At this point, I just need a comic app that links up .cbz .cbr s as the default program for those file types so that I can open the file from on of my file expolorer programs. Or I need to figure out a way that allows my rooted comic apps to actually go into the data folder. Why won't these programs look into the file system past data?
Now,
I did try the permanence method to link a usrdata file to the mnt/internal file, but while it creates the mnt/internal file it does not fill it in with my files...which sucks (I just folled the instructions and I think it may require the snowball mod). I do like the B&N reader for my epubs, so I don't want to use the snowball mod
And even in snowball could not work, in OP is posted that many apps can still be incompatible

I hate those default Pics, music etc ASUS or whoever have put them and now I can't delete them from Filemanager...
How to delete any of the files I want ?
use root explorer to delete them. don't go deleting system/stock apps or your future OTA updates will fail.
I tried but says on those 17 default pics, "delete failed"...
BTW, why in file manager there is so bunch of stuff listed there, not organized... and you have no idea what is for what...
I tried FileManager HD - much better look/organization, also reports same error, failed to delete. Now in this app you can see next to file this: -rw
Are those files protected or something? pics and mp3's by default which I can't delete have that.
Thanks!
PS - Android -ICS, has folders listed totally wrong, you have system files listed with normal other folders which confuses normal people what is what and finding what they need to find. They should put ALL system files under 1 folder and make a tree of folders there and not in root put all folders there and leave up to us to manage in that bush
is your device rooted? and did you put it in read/write mode? otherwise it wont be able to delete the files

You must set your file explorer to mount system files in read/write mode, by default they are set to read only. See in preferences menu.
Just finished unlocking the boot load and rooted my GN using the GNEX toolkit, and restored my apps fine.
However, Dropbox did not seem to work properly. I was able to login, but couldnt access my files correctly. For example, I was able to open my Keepass file, but not able to save any changes...it would just complain about not being able to save.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Dropbox and KeepassDroid, with no success. The wieird thing is I also tried to browse the SD Card using ES File Explorer, and I'm not able to delete the Dropbox .thinkfree directory, nor am I able to delete/copy/move/rename the local Keepass directory and file...it just complains that it cannot perform the operation
Any help?????
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
Hello!
How do I backup each and every note of my LG G5 QuickMemo+?
If your phone is rooted, you can do that by using automatic backup tools such as Titanium Backup, or by manually copying /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/ folder to your backup location and then restoring it by copying it back to the same folder, setting the right permission with Root Explorer or similar.
If you're planning to copy them to a txt file, it's quite easy for text notes, as the text is inside /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db, a SQLite database, in a format similar to HTML.

My phone is not rooted and I do not plan to root it. Most of the notes I wish to backup are images, is that still possible?
accessing in the /data/data folder is possible only with root. I don't know where images are, if they are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus you can backup them, otherwise not.
EDIT: media files are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus, so you can just copy that folder even without root.

Oh. So should all my phone data get deleted, if I paste the pre-copied folder, all the dozens of saved images in QuickMemo+ would be there?
/sdcard/ is (opposite to what would be logical) the internal memory. So if your phone data is erased, also QuickMemo+ photos are deleted But you can always backup them whenever you want.

I just went in that folder and I seem to have thousands of 'qmemo_' folders in there, each has 'audios', 'drawings', 'images' and 'videos' sub-folders. The problem is there seem to be a lot of memos I have deleted from my phone long ago (which apparently also is the reason why it took some time to load all the folders as there are thousands), how come the deleted memos appear in those sub-folders? How can I backup only the relevant ones?
If there is a mismatch between the database of notes seen by QuickMemo and the files in the folder, well, you just have to be patient and check them one by one.
You can start by opening QuickMemo and looking at the earliest memo: any folder that has been edited before that date, is something you deleted.
You can use LG Backup too
