Hey Guys, I'm a newbie so be gentle. First off, this website is the best. Thanks for lost of tips and tricks. OK, I've rooted my NT. Where do the downloads go? I can't find them in any Nook folder? Can I specify where to put downloads? Since I rooted am I not seeing some folders? I've download pdfs from the web and I've downloaded epub from my library via Digital Editions adn I can't see either on the NT. Thanks.
Usually, when you download through a browser they go into /sdcard/download.
Sent from my pseudo-Nexus S using XDA premium
Whenever I download from the stock browser they end up here:
media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet
You might need to download an alternative launcher I personally use go launcher
Greetings...How do u get to media/My Files/My Downloads?...
Or how do u navigate through the different directories for that matter?...
Thank you...
use ESFileExpolorer to navigate through your /media folders...
Thank you mac4rfree for the feedback...I've installed it and poked around, but don't have a full understanding of what I'm doing or navigating it...Is there a tutorial that can walk me through how to use it, what it does, etc.?...
Thanking you...
My downloads with Dolphin go into the dolphin downloads folder.

@thesal,, first go to settings clicking on menu button,,,, then you cann add "/" as home directory,,, if you want to write files to the root, then check on root checkbox... hopeful that will give u a start

Hi
Have backed-up all my Firefox bookmarks on the computer to a HTML-file and copied it to the E10i.
What I wanted was to use it as a start page on the Mini's browser.
But...
I can't get to work.
Astro finds the file and opens it in a HTML-viewer that only opens the links in the web browser.
Having the paid version of Astro file manager and the E10i's (latest FW, unrooted) original web browser.
Is there a way to open HTML-files from the browsers address field. So I can bookmark the file and select it as the start page?
Or is it time to move to other apps?
Would love some help as I really would love to have the same bookmarks in both the comp and the E10i. Also using all links in a HTML-file makes updating easy.
Acessing HTML files from stock web browser adress field
It's too easy. If you already have Astro installed, just point your browser to:
content://com.metago.astro.filesystem/sdcard/yourfile.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now replace "yourfile.html" as you need. To use subdirectories, you just need to add before of "yourfile.html" the respective(s) subdirectory(ies) where is your file "subdirectory1/subdirectory2/yourfile.html".
I hope that helped you.
Sorry my bad english.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a browser that will allow me to download files to my SD card but I'm having no luck finding one. Opera allows downloads, but there is no way to make it download in \sdcard-ext\ it only DLs to the phone memory which is no good for large files.
How can I download files to the \sdcard-ext\ folder?
thx
David
I usually don't bump my own threads but...
Are there any Atrix users out there that know how to download a file via web browser to the removable sdcard?
Dolphin Browser HD
Just set your download directory in settings to the correct path (sdcard-ext instead of sdcard)
Yup Dolphin lets you set the DL dir to anything you want which is great, but I have trouble getting Dolphin to DL from many web sites, specifically ulozto.cz which is a Czech movie file sharing site.
To see what I mean do this:
1. Using Dolphin, go to ulozto.cz
2. Search for "bastardi"
3. click "stahnout" (which means download)
4. type in the 4 letter captcha code to start DL
...the download never starts w/Dolphin. By the way this site does work w/Opera, but Opera can DL to sdcard-ext...
thanks anyway and if you have any more ideas I'd love to hear them...
I'm having this issue myself. When I try downloading a large file after a while I get a error "source could not be found". Smaller files will download sometimes sometimes they wont. Any reason why downloading to a pre installed SD doesn't seem to work? I set up dolphin HD to my extra SD. Seems to work but have yet to download a large file.
This app will let you download whatever you want:

Thanks, I'll try it tonight...
The app "Download All Files" did not work for me. Did you try it on the website I listed above?
Hello,
I've Urukdroid 0.7 installed on the SD card of my Archos 70.
I would like to upgrade to 1.0.
Following the wiki I've to download a file UrukDroid-1.0-upgrade.tbz2 but when I go with the default web browser of Archos on the link provided in the wiki, the web browser opens me an "ugly" text page will all strange alphanumeric caracters in place of proposing me a pop up to download the file.
Any idea how to solve that?
Rookie question...
Thanks for reading...
Vincent
Longer press on link and then "save link"
I had the same issue yesterday
This is because the browser dont know the *.tbz2 file, so the browser open the file as a text document (standart option)
You have to do this with the "fix" from the first poster
Or (if you have dolphin browser hd) you open the site and klick on
menubutton>>more>>save page

First thanks to you two for your fast answers.
I don't have installed yet the market in Urukdroid mode then no Dolphin.
I pressed long then save link then I've a file UrukDroid-1.txt of 139Mb.
I renamed it with the right full name. I copy it with the default file manager in a directory UrukUpdate I created by myself under Android/data that is displayed in "Internal" even if I install UD06 on my SD card...
When I ask to force update via urukconfig, it says that no file found in /data/UrukUpdate.
Knowing that during the installation of UD06 on my SD card, I said No to copy the data, is it normal that /Android/data is under internal and that no /data/UrukUpdate exists?

1) You can download free apps also under freewarelovers.com
Link to download Dolphin Browser is :
http://www.freewarelovers.com/hotlinkmenot/temp/62535a/1300039853_Dolphin_Browser_HD_4.5.0.apk
2) You have to this with a root file manager (not the /data directory in the "normal" file manager (this file manager only check the /storage directory ))
You can download AndRootFile (the best free i know) here:
http://andbox.googlecode.com/files/AndRootFile_3.0_beta_signed.apk
Hope i could help you

Aahh, no problem
When i bought my 101 at New Years Eve i have had the same (maybe noob) questions as you, but if you reading a little bit here on xda you will learn a lot about this stuff
Have Fun!
I'm a new forum member and a relative noob when it comes to all things Android and Tablets and Nook Tablets. I have a an unrooted Nook Tablet and need help with a few things,please.
1: I use GoLauncher as my launcher and I have all my apps in folders on my homke screen, but the folder icons are small. Any way to make them larger?
2: How do you install an app to the sd card. When I download an app it loads into the Nook. Also, how do you install an app from the sd card?
3: When I access my sd card and I long press a folder the only option I get is to delete the file. The Nook manual says that a menu should pop up.
4: Also,I see no "app" folder on my sd card. Where is it?
Thanks for any help as my old brain does not work like it used to. Also, thanks for all the info contributed by everybody that I've already gleaned from this forum.
Jim
Since you are not rooted (and neither am I), I will assume you followed instructions to install basic apps like the launcher and a file manager by emailing them to yourself. I will also assume you have installed an sdcard. The file manager will allow you to explore the contents of the card. Find a folder called MyFiles or similar. This is where to pur downloaded apk files.
Use your desktop computer to find and download apk files. Now move the files from your desktop to the Nook. Some folks will plug the Nook into the computer, navigate, and drag and drop from there. Others, like myself, will do it wirelessly via Dropbox, FTP or a simple WiFi client. Search for "WiFi File Transfer apk" to do it this way.
Once the apk is in the Nook, use a file manager to navigate to it, tap on it and the package installer should pop up. Install. If the package manager offers to move the app to the sdcard, do it.
BTW, my "old brain" is 69. Find me on Facebook "Don Birdsall" and I'll help you more.

go launcher
i'm using HTC Explorer how to move Go launcher themes or Go launcher EX to SD card
plzz help me..... i'm facing low memory problem help meee
THXZ in Advance
Where does the default browser store downloaded apk files? I downloaded a few apk files that refuse to install, so i'd like to move them to my sdcard so i can sideload them using adb. Where would i find the downloaded files?
They're under Library>My Nook>My Files>My Downloads
Hope this helps.
that will not allow you to install your apks, just show you where they are. your best bet is to install "root explorer" and open it and go to the media folder, then my files & finally, my downloads. install your apk from there, or move it to SD. Hope this helps.

Thanks Swiissjokr. Found them using ES File Explorer.
/media/My Files/My Downloads/.
Copied them over to the SD card, and will sideload them from my laptop using adb.
Where the downloads go
After practically pulling my hair out over this same problem, I finally found my downloads by going to my library. First is the Books category, scroll down there are Movies, keep scrolling all the way down through all the categories and the last one is My Files. That is where I find my downloads. Hope this helps. :fingers-crossed:
