I really hope I am not screwed here, but I have a problem with File Manager.
When I try to open the Download file it keeps telling me...Unfortunately File Manager has stopped.
All the other files seem to open just fine.
I tried dragging the download file to a random file...Alarms. The file moved, I then opened up Alarm file, and then tried to open my Download sub file..... go, same thing.
I then added a new folder called Downloaded and moved my original Download file to here....no go.
I then tried to download a picture from the web. It downloaded and i opened up my File Manager.....and bam, file manager created a new Download file, and the pic I just saved went here.....and it opens just fine.
Now my problem is my old download file still closes my File Manager. I can get the info from my original download file and it says there is only 10 files. I really havent downloaded anything. This afternoon by mistake I did download the Battery Widget by Slayer69 here. I clicked on the picture by accident and it downloaded, BUT I canceled the download. I dont know if that did something, I doubt it. I cant remember the last time I opened this folder.
Is there any way I can extract these 10 files that are in my original Download file without a FC of file manager? Should I try Astro? I really dont even know what they are.
God I hope this wasnt too confusing. If it was, I will try and clarify anything for anyone trying to help.
Thanks guys....
Maybe this will help....
My original Download file is now in DOWNLOADED and the new folder the prime made tonight is called DOWNLOAD.....DOWNLOADED file causes a FC when I try and open

Can you access your internal storage through your computer (such as connecting your Prime to USB)?
See if you can access "Download" folder through that.. and if so, you can probably delete and re-create the "download" folder to see if that helps with accessing through Asus file manager.
But yea, it does seem like an odd bug. For example, My Library in my Prime picks up ".txt" files from game folders and list them as "BOOKS" in My Library app (it annoys the heck out of it).

Man thanks! Thanks for taking the time to read that jumbled mess...lol. I will try to connect thru my desktop.
LOL, i too have a mess in my Library. The misses was looking at various menus for a reception and each page is listed as a book in My Library.....Crazy, i had NO idea where they were till you mentioned it. Wish I could give ya 2 thanks....you helped me twice in one post!
Thanks

I put an apk in an apps directory to install on my prime and had the same thing happen. I thought the file manager broke. Once i removed the file i added everything worked again. Also i have downloaded my widget and was able to install but was using dolphin browser, and installed from there. I will go see it the downloaded file can be browsed.
Edit: well well, it seems putting apk's in a folder on sd or external storage will crash the Asus file manager. I was able to use root explorer to delete them and everything is ok now.
Same thing happened to me as the OP. I deleted the apk for the battery2 widget using ES Explorer, and was then able to scroll through the whole download folder with the stock File Manager.
Anyone actually use "My Library" app provided by Asus? For some reason, My Library app is picking up ".txt" files from Gamestop games (Monster Madness, Sonic CD) and few side loaded Game ".txt" files as Book list. This bug is annoying the crap out of me... can't simply delete the files as I have to re-download the game if I wish to play them.
Or is this a known issue/bug with My Library app in general? Such a nice app to actually read books with....

I log in just fine.
Didnt work for me until I tried not selecting a language.
I work 2 jobs and I only got 2 hours of sleep last night trying to get something started. I have problems finding files that were here in the past, that is my intent on the thread to help people get a centralized (not rapidshare or megashare) spot that they can download files. I also will try to add descriptions to the files as I have a chance to test them all.
Edit, I modified the script to not allow a language choice on load, so if you can't read english, tough luck for now.

problem?
I've tried downloading various things, and tried downloading the same thing on different computers, but I keep getting messages that the zip/rar files are corrupted. Common issue? resolution?
I downloaded a zip of all the ringtones, and about 7 to 8 inside the zip were corrupted.
I am guessing those zip files are created by the server based on what you choose, so the OP needs to fix the server side scripting with regards to the compressed file creation.
I have not had any problems downloading individual files.
Also, originally I could not login because I copy/pasted the username and password. It pastes default in character 2, and puts a space in front, even though I did not copy a space in front of the username, so its a safe bet to just type in the username/pass manually.

I have a question, what is generating the error, your program that unzips or trying to actually select is as a ringer and getting the error... if 2nd item then could you try downloading zip to pc and playing the files in windows media player. Another general note... if you use "winace" that zip manager has given me tons of issues w/ zips, rars files, and reccomend using winrar or the standard vista extractor. I've had 2 people test it on Ringers download and are both quoting no error message or problems playing the files and they were not on my network so I wanted to be sure that factor was ruled out...
Future thanks for any advise you guys can provide. I did also have like 10 server 2003 updates as it's been like 3 months since I restarted... so maybe that fixed the problem too
I use WinRAR to extract everything...zip, rar, 7z, etc...and it says "file is corrupted" on about 4 or 5 of the ringtones. but the ringtones are fine individually downloaded.

Just out of curosity, if you still have the files, try extracting them with the os unzipper just as a thought, I can't even get corrupt rar file msg w/ winrar though

Hi,
Tnx for your effort. I think the problem with some corrupted files lies in the fact that some of the filenames are not correctly applied. Some ringzz I downloaded did not have an extension, same as the PointUI that showed up without the *.cab extension.
Dirk
Thank you for putting all this in one place. It makes things so much easier.
Thank you very much. You have just made my life a whole lot easier. I was searching for these ringtones.
I'm running VirusROM senseless on the Thunderbolt and I'm trying to download Adobe flash player 10.2 but I keep getting "package file not signed correctly error" therefore my installation fails . Smart flash player downloads no problem. Is anyone else seeing this issue? If so, any suggestions on how to fix it.
Go into Titanium backup and uninstall. Then download from the market. Enjoy.

I found out that I needed to select "R/W" at the top of Root Explorer to delete that file. After I deleted it, I tried downloading the Adobe Flash again and it was giving me some error message. I rebooted the phone, tried to download again and was successful. I thought by downloading a newer file I would be able to watch youtube. I still can't. I guess I could start a new thread but will that adobe.fix file fix my youtube problem?

Why cant you watch Youtube? I have no issues there. If youre using the standard browser though, you will have issues. I would suggest Skyfire especially for videos or Dolphin HD. Both play flash within the browser.

"To make it easier, all you need to do is download Adobe Flash Player 10.2.156.12 from market and replace the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so which is AND 10,2,156,12 hex edited to look like WIN 99,9,999,99 for HULU.
1) Extract libflashplayer.so to sdcard
2) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x or chmod 755 the file.
To get this working, make sure to set your browser User Agent string. With the stock Android browser and probably other browsers excluding the Dolphin browser, you might have to do this each time you run any flash based site including hulu.com or start the browser:

Others are strongly encouraged to make a .apk installer file to share with others as a contribution to the Android community. Unfortunately, I have no way to make the .apk file as I have tried existing .apk's and all they did was made it seem like Adobe Flash was not even installed on all sites including hulu.com."

When i tried copying my Titanium Backup folder to my PC , windows explorer threw an error saying "Unspecified Error" (Yeah! very helpful :silly
Strangely I could copy all other folders. But I got the error again while trying to copy my CWM recovery folder.
Even more strange is that some files from these two folders are missing completely in the explorer but are visible on my phone.
Then I tried using adb and Voila! i could pull / push files without any problem.
I tried reinstalling all drivers etc but still got the same error . It was also showing the same error on my friends laptop as well.
Any one else facing this problem? any ideas on how i can fix this ? (It is hectic copying files using adb )
Check screen shots

I know this is an older post but I had the same issues today and thought I might tell you what I found.
After several tries of moving files over to my Windows 8 machine I tried something different. I moved the entire Titanium Backup folder into another folder on my phone (thought maybe something was accessing the files making them inaccessible. I recieved an error on a few files but the majority copied over.
From this new copied folder I was able to copy everything over to my computer. This allowed me to compare the files that copied and the ones that didn't. After comparing these I realized that I recently deleted some apps and these backups were appearing on Windows Explorer but NOT showing up on my phone.
It looks like this issue is caused by Windows inability to update the files and folder correctly. I know that I have had issues with this in the past. Changing files on my phone and not seeing any affect on my windows machine, even after refreshing the screen.
Has anyone experienced this? Does someone have a solution or work around?
I had the same issue with my xgo but i solve it by changing convesity mode to mass storage but u won't be able to access internal storage of phone u would try changing folder name from file explorer might appear

I have noticed that if you are writing to your memory while transferring the files, the error is shown. Try to make sure no other app is using the memory while transferring the files

I was just having this issue, so I decided to try an adb pull of the folder instead. I was able to copy everything from the titanium backup folder to my temp folder on my laptop (windows 8.1) so if you run into the issue again, maybe give that a try.
NOTE: I'm using the OPO, so not sure how it will do with a Sony device.
Es file explorer does the trick
Download ES File Explorer.
Navigate to the Backup folder, copy all the files inside it, and paste it in a new folder with a different name.
Try copying this new folder. Should work!
Can someone please tell me where MetaMorph stores it's files/images once it loads a theme/etc.?
I'm not talking about "/AndroidThemes",..I'm talking about where it stores everything once it unzips a theme or lock-ring or whatever...
I installed a battery zip a while back and now they battery image just shows up randomly every once in a while...I wanna remove it from the device comletely & don't know where to look...
thanks.

I think you misunderstand how Metamorph acts. It actually changes permanently your patched system files to theme your apps. Depending on which part you are theming it patches different files.

ahh...I obviously did misunderstand....I figured there was a folder somewhere with all the files/images in it.
..I notice when I flash a new lock-ring, in my image gallery there's the lock-ring image and a "drawable-xhdpi" & "drawable-hdpi" images...that's what gave me the idea there was directory somewhere storing files...
is there a way to make the battery image I flashed a while back stop showing?

That's likely an extracted zip from Metamorph. I think I misunderstood your question.
In light of this new information, you can long press the image file, then press the context menu button then Properties (last menu) and at the bottom of the dialog window you should see the path to the file. You can navigate to this directory using a file browser and create a file named ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will make the media scanner not scan this folder and thus you won't see it in the gallery.
Example:
File is located in /sdcard/Metamorph/theme1/folder
Create a .nomedia file in /sdcard/Metamorph/
Everything in this folder and the folders in it will not get indexed.

I appreciate your help!
this explains alot, but the problem I'm having is (see screenshot below please) on the top-left-hand side in the notification bar you'll see the small blue battery icon..I flashed that through MetaMorph maybe 2-3 different ROMs back, I'd say at least 3 weeks ago, and, at the time, the battery icon didn't show for some reason....and hasn't since then...
now it just showed up out of nowhere
I flashed a new ROM a few days ago (battery icon did NOT show up then) and then last night it just showed up....outta nowhere...
I want to get rid of it but, unlike the "drawable" lock-screen images in my image gallery, this actual icon/image is nowhere to be found (or seen)...
is there a way to remove it?
I mean I thoroughly wipe the cache(s) & system a few times before each new ROM so it kinda has me confused why it just showed up all of a sudden...

If you've flashed another ROM then that's not coming from anything you've done with Metamorph. The system files that would have been modified would be gone.

[TRICK][GUIDE] How to stop creating Huge Thumbnail file in "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder
This guide is for the people who wants to save their sd card memory space
The Problem:
As experienced users in android, you may have noticed that android gallery app is creating a huge thumbnail file in "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder on your sd card. In my case it is more than 1GB. I tried deleting it. But, it is getting regenerated after some time. So I searched for a method to stop creating that file to save my sd card space and found this trick. This method may not be a 100% permanant solution for this. But so far I haven't got that huge file in my sd card. Here's the way to do the trick,
Solution:
1. Go to "DCIM/.thumbnails" folder of your sd card and copy the name of the thumbnail file.(mine is " .thumbdata3--1967290299")
2. Now select any unwanted file or take a copy of any file and rename it with that thumbnail filename.( .thumbdata3--1967290299)
Note: Select any small file that you can find in your device. ( I took a 5kb file)
DON'T GET A 0kb FILE!!!
3. Now replace the original thumbnail file with the small file that we renamed.
THAT'S ALL!!!! YOU HAVE DONE IT!!! :good:
Bug: This method only works until your gallery is updated. (by adding new files to an album)
If you like my work, don't forget to hit the THANKS button!!!
Is it ok if i delete all thumb pict in that folder?

I have simplest way, just delete your xperia galery and replace it with quickpic
Currently, my method is the best solution for generated huge thumbnails file in DCIM folder. Why?
Because it will not regenerated any thumbnails file anymore. In my case, the thumbnails almost reach 3GB.
Just need root phone and FolderMount app.
In FolderMount app, click add button. Just put any name in name field. In source field, select folder where thumbnails file generated.
After that, in destination field link it into system directory. After that click save. Here as example:
Why system directory? This is because the system is read only. Without mount read and write, the thumbnails cant be generated. So, dont worry about your system directory being filled by thumbnails because it will not generated thumbnails file anymore.
What about gallery? Does it run properly?
It still working as usual. But it may slow down the loading of picture after every boot.
Dont forget to set to run after boot in FolderMount preferences.
This method should work on all Xperia smartphones with stock album app.

could this be another solution:
my phone is rooted. will replacing the stock gallery and vid player stop the thumbnail files from being regenerated?

I think you have to disable media scanning also for that
for videos I prefer to add .nomedia file in the folder and browse them and open with any file explorer manualy. it's also available to hide some specific video folder
Alternatively, what I did was
SETTING -> STORAGE -> MAKE MORE SPACE -> UNINSTALL APPS
Wait till all apps been listed out then BACK, this will remove the thumbdata file. Don't ask me why, just by fluke...

A Solution that works, NO ROOT
Just found this:
Using any file manager (I used ES file manager) rename/delete the .thumbnails folder and then create a new 'file' by the very same name: .thumbnails. After this I am not seeing any thumbnails created. Also the impact on gallery is not all that bothering.
Honestly, I do not use the default gallery much, but when the photos change, thumbnails are still getting created, probably when new images are added. But this certainly seems to put a stop to it.
I uninstalled gallery on my phone (galaxy s blaze, rooted with ics 4.04) and .thumbnails still gets recreated every few days. I will try deleting .thumbnails folder and making it a read-only file.
Hi there , i got same problem too , i have found that its not my gallery cause i disable the gallery but still phone is making a huge thumbnail..
i had solve this before with using quick pic app witch makes its own thumbs in other way of making thumbs.
But any other application like whatsapp messaging or xplore file manager that trays to make a thumbnail will fail like that. And other apps is not working normal because of no space left. I also used you solution but its being replaced with same name and size of space free left.
