in my gallery it shows images from my g+ account, but no others. is there a way to make it read from the sdcard?
3D gallery does read from SDcard by default, try moving it to /system/app and giving proper permissions.

nevermind. it is reading from the sdcard. i didnt realize things downloaded from dropbox were finding there way onto the system instead of sdcard! is this right? i thought dropbox would automatically move files downloaded from the cloud to sdcard

Dropbox downloads go directly to the SDcard , it creates a folder named dropbox in the root of your sdcard.

I agree, it should, but its not. I'm not near my device right now to tell you the exact path, but they are going to somewhere in /media in the root folder. I had to use root explorer to move an image from there to sdcard. I'll update this later with the path. I'm also going to look and see where the dropbox apk installed. I recently "8 restart" reset my device and ran the snowball mod root process. I may have geeked it up in the process. I may need to un-root and run the program fresh.
On a side note, I have never seen a device where so many people do the same thing and have so many different results. Even with snowball mod, I have some white on white menus. Such as adw ex settings menu and beautiful weather widget's settings menus.

Oh that explain better you have snowballmod which it has 2 mods to use internal space so you need to find apps that can access all your media apart of your sdcard, quickpic gives you that option instead of gallery 3D.

Im sure you got an answer to this already, I had this issue too, and my music wasn't showing in the music player either. I found a folder on my SDcard labled "my files" in this folder there are folders for pictures, music etc. I moved the pictures and music to the appropriate folders a BAM they all show up now.

HI
I have check the SDcard Root and I have a lot of DiskCacheIndexxxxx.tmp
Does anyone know what are this files?
Thanks
good question
Good question I have about 50 of them!
Most likely app-created index files to hold the location of cached contents. Did a quick google search and you can find other refs to these files, mainly in other android and even other xda threads (G1 for instance) where in one someone said he went ahead and deleted them with no ill effects. YMMV

I found that already and delete the files..
but it has start creating new ones..
Thank you
believe they are caused by Quandrent Advanced. I only get them when I have that app installed. I just delete it and use Quadrent Standard and the files go away
I had this exact problem. It was caused by installing 3d froyo gallery from the market. After removing this app, rebooting (and deleting all the files in the root), the problem was resolved. Not sure if this applies to you guys, but figured I'd chime in.
Also, they are not caused by quadrant advanced, i've been using that for quite some time, and it never dumped files to the root of the card.)
Sounds pornographic to me
Just kidding. Anyway yeah it's Quadrant.

Instead of using 3D gallery from market you can use standalone *.apk from Nexus it works without creating any temp files on sdcard root.

Got my nootlet sideloading and rooted, rocking the GoLauncher, replaced b&n home screen, and i'm happy except for a couple things: google market only wants to crash, but more importantly I miss being able to drag books onto the home screen. I tried anycut but didn't see a way to add a shortcut to a file.
Am i not using it right or is this not (yet) doable?
via noot tablet &xda premium
Download ES File Explorer from the market.
Navigate to any folder or file with it, and long press. Choose Shortcut. It will create a file or folder shortcut on the homescreen.
Since you're using GoLauncher, you can also longpress the shortcut, choose 'replace' and select any icon you want from installed themes or icon packs, or select 'custom icon' and create one (say, of a book cover) from a .jpg file.
You are my hero! Thanks.

Also, google market crashing is a permissions issue - it should be in system/apps, with all other programs set as rw-r--r-- and Vending.apk specifically showing rw-rw-rw- (you can check this with root explorer) - at least it is for me, and rw-r--r-- promptly crashes it. data/app should also have a com.android.vending.apk with permissions rw-r--r--. If not, reinstall, or factory reset + reroot (don't need to do the drivers part again). You *will* miss a functional android market. It's more useful than you think.
I un-rooted then re-rooted the nook. That seems to have solved all the issues I was having. So zmobile, your advice made perfect sense, thanks.

Hi there,
nook tablet not rooted
Go Launcher and ES Explorer on
tried to find my ebooks searching for .epub or .pdf but cannot find nothing.
i'm uploading my books from pc with calibre.
everytime i try to enter in a path (internal memory, sd card...) a message pop up similar to (sorry i do not have my nook here now) "no folders are found, do you want to create one?"
thanks
The books go in /media/my files/books
Path on sd card is /my files/books
They will all show up in the library then.

Ok, Seeing as how the first 10 pages and search yielded no results, I think I might be one of those special kids mentioned in the terms and agreements video.
I need to know where Astro installs the apks, because obviously it's not under system/app nor data/app. I've browsed both twice while revealing hidden files but they have not yielded any results. I can find every app on the phone but the ones that I've installed through Astro... So if anyone can shed some light as to where I might find them, that would be great.
try here
dont know if its similar but i have same problem with ics not being able to find apps that were unremovable (they just kept reinstalling) but noticed some apps were also in /preload (dont know if this helps your case or not)
Maybe /mnt/sdcard?
Check peferences in astro for home directory?
Other apps also in /data/app

Yeah, I've checked those, and all the home directories and usb directories and sd external directories, pretty much all of the directories listed in the preference for Astro with no success. Also, somehow, my /data/app folder only has the stock apps, nothing new that I've installed so far. Appreciate the reply though
Use your root file explorer to search your device, it will show up eventually.....

If you have your phone set to install apps to external memory, there should be a folder called "android.secure". This is where the phone puts apps that are installed to the SD. (by default) Now I am assuming you have not formatted you SD to include a EXT 2/4 partition, or else you would know to look there. I would investigate to see if you can find an android.secure folder.
I've seen several reviews which mention that Samsung's S Planner app is missing from the AT&T version of the Note, but screenshots of the AT&T Calendar app appear very similar to S Planner. Can anyone confirm if there are differences in these two apps or did AT&T simply rename S Planner to Calendar?

Well, you could always get the .apk from the International and install it on the ATT Note once it's rooted since it'll have to be installed in the system/app folder.

They are similar but not the same. The AT&T version doesn't have all the features as the international such as dragging appt times around to new places or scheduling a meeting from s memo.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks. I just picked up my Note from BestBuy and I think you're right... I cannot get the Calendar to use the date/time in the S-Note memo to set the new event date/time; it just includes the note in the "Memos" field for the event. The date/time you have to set manually.
However I can move events around (in the week or 3 day view) by just press/hold and slide it to a new time.
If you look under /system/app you will see that we have the splanner.apk so I am thinking that the calendar app is just a modified splanner app
Attached are the apk/odex from the Telus version
I'm not 100% sure what the difference is, but on the Telus version of this phone it is called as on the 'international'. I have attached the apk/odex files from /system/app. Feel free to try.

I downloaded it. What do I need to do now? I'm staring at it sitting in astro. I did try to extract it and install simplanner but it won't install the system app. Do I need to use root explorer to move it?

Yes. Move them to your /system/app folder. First you have to rename to ones already in there. Best to just add .bak to the end to maintain their existence. Double check permissions (rw-r--r--). Once you've done all that, reboot your device and they should install automatically like any other system app.
Let us know how it goes.
move them to /system/app, make sure they are 644 permissions (read by all). then reboot.
I have both models and they seems the same to me. When I put my google account in an synced the calendar looks just like the s planner. I also checked to make sure I could convert hand written s memos to the calendar and it works fine.
You know, now that I'm re-watching the YouTube video, they make it a little deceiving. The video makes it look like it recognizes your text and programs the calendar entry based on your keywords i.e. you enter dinner tomorrow at 9 pm and it schedules a meeting the next day at 9 pm with the title dinner. However, re-watching the video, it doesn't actually schedule her meeting correctly she just shoots past it so you can't see that it's not.

Yeah, maybe I was expecting too much, or confused with the Calendar quick add feature. On the AT&T Note Calender quick add will convert plain language to the proper event date and time, but from S Note it doesn't. It does a decent job of recognizing the handwritten note but only places that info in the memo section of the new Calendar event. Maybe that's all the internatiinal S Planner can do as well.

Ok I am going to be really stupid here. I haven't done anything to my phones since my HTC a few years back. I just got this ATT Note and am trying to install the files that were given in this thread.
You say to move them to system/app. Here is my questions. How do I get there? I went through just plain old Windows Explorer and that doesn't seem to be right. Is there a program that I need to download to put these files in to where they are needed, or an I just not getting it at all (which could be possible).
Thanks for the help. Have done a lot of searching and still am very confused

You have to be rooted in order to move a system file. And you would have to be running a file explorer such as ES file explorer with the system mounted as read/write.
If you are rooted, then go into options in ES and put a check next to root explorer and mount system. Make sure you say yes to superuser request. I like to change the home directory from /sdcard/ to just /
That should start you in the true file system and not in the SD card.

Ok I got ES on my phone but still trying to figure out how to mount it. I am downloading Android SDK Manager because I found something saying I can mount it with that.
Is there a section somewhere that is already written up to explain all this to me so I don't know to keep bugging you guys. When I do a search I get sooooo many things it is hard for me to weed through to get to what I really need.
All of this for a stupid app that is suppose to be on the phone but from what I hear stupid ATT took off.

I honestly prefer ghost commander, it's dual window, have the files you want to move in one, and system/app in the other, on the system window you can scroll right on the little bar on bottom and click remount as rw, then you can move or copy items

So I would move the files from my PC to somewhere on the SD card and then use this Ghost Commander to move them to where I need to in the root directory.
Am I getting that right?
---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
Ok so I got my files on my sd card and I can see the in Ghost. 4 of the files already exist in the system/app so I am confused why it is not there. I did try to run it directly and got an error.
I still can't figure out how to read/write from the root.
I tell you, this S Planner better be worth all the crap I am doing to get it on my phone.

Search doesn't work too well. Especially the app. When you open es, press the menu capacitive button, go to settings aand choose root explorer. Press yes for superuser prompt when it comes up. Then select mount system as writable. Also, change home directory to just "/" instead of "/sdcard/". Then you should be able to see everything. Go to the sdcard where the files are... long press on each file and choose copy. Then go back until you see the folder titled "system". Go into that folder then into the "app" folder. At the bottom of your screen there should be an arrow with a box around it. Press that and touch the files. That will copy them to the folder. You should get a confirmation that they copied successfully.
Don't worry about asking too many questions. That is the purpose of a forum, to discus and to learn. Though it could be argued that many people have forgotten that. Ill try to post up some pics as it goes through....

I am having this problem, whereby I downloaded a photo from a MMS sent to me, and it was stored in my Download folder in my Internal Storage. I used ES File Explorer and move the file (not copy) to my external SD card photo album, however the photo will not appear in my gallery under the same album. When I actually opened up my SD card using my computer, I actually found that the photo which I moved isn't in the album which I moved it to, and neither is it in the Download folder in my internal storage. Anyone able to help me on this?

That probably was the most constructive answer as everything else is guesswork and involves you searching the entire phone for the MMS in the hope that its not deleted .
Or carrying out the same task again as a test to see where the file goes to .
