I need help, please
hello
I have a problem with the application root explorer, not to touch yesterday and now when I want to get into the sd will not let me, I get this
Before I went out alone and could enter the folder and now. As I am adding?
thanks
The image you posted shows you're already in the sdcard, in the extracted folder.
Hello Archer
I used the carpete I went out and I went there, now I get that picture or folder and will not let me get inside the sd to view or change what I have in the sd.
Thanks, sorry for my English
It looks to me like you're viewing the contents of an extracted zip file and that is not the sdcard. Scroll to the top and press ".." to go up a level. Do this twice and you will be in the sdcard folder.

My phone is rooted, i've cleaned out most of the bloatware and i'm starting to customize it to my own, but i'm trying to find out where to put my music/ringtones/pictures/wallpapers and i'm kind of lost.
When I mount and open it to view files, these are the folders in my internal storage
Android
ClockworkMod
data
DCIM
FeebeRings
layar
TitaniumBackup
newsImage
update.zip
Can someone please tell me exactly where to put all of my things? It would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
For your Music,, you can put them in any folder,, the OS does a screen on the SD Card on every boot and it will detect your music. So basically just put them in a folder named Music.
The Ringtones go in \system\media\audio\Ringtones
Pictures Goes in DCIM, wallpapers can be put in the same directory cuz when the OS scans the SD Card it will detect your wallpapers as pictures.
The built in wallpapers are in an .APK so you can not have your wallpapers added to the built in...
^ I think you could probably take the TWwallpaper .apk and extract it to find the pics and delete/add them and then rezip it?
system/app/twwallpaperchooser/res/drawable-hdpi
this is where the backgrounds are. I wonder if you could just add/delete them in this folder using root explorer?
I have never done it.. but it seems like it could be done.

So, I have the same question (having just successfully flashed), but am confused about the answer. In the poster's question, as in my phone, there is no "system" directory.
I still have bionix-v-1.3.1.zip in the root directory of the internal memory. Apparently the poster had already removed the .zip file of whatever version he/she flashed from the root directory. The only place I can find a \system\media\audio\Ringtones directory is in that zip file. I see all of my currently available ringtones there, and can't find them in any other directory. (This seems odd, as I'd have expected them to be created somewhere else in phone's internal memory, as part of the flashing process).
Are you saying to just go ahead and treat bionix-v-1.3.1.zip like a directory, and drag a file into the directory in that file?
P.s. I have that "is this so obvious to everybody but me?" feeling, since xKrazYx626 seemed to have no problem understanding your answer
You guys need to get root explorer to view these directories

I haven't had my sd card in during this entire process so I know that the file is on the internal sd and it shows up in ASTRO File Manager. But when in Recovery menu and after selecting "Reinstall Packages" it says "No such file or directory". Can anyone tell me what is happening? PLEASE
Which update file did you download?
Download pc or phone? Is it named proper?
Does show as:
sdcard/update.zip
I got the file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479&highlight=root
Downloaded onto my PC and transferred the file to my phone. When in ASTRO I go to /sdcard and then find update.zip when I open it the file manager says /sdcard/update.zip.zip and two files are in it. "META-INF and system
It looks like you did the same thing I did using the same instructions...
I renamed the file "update.zip" which just tacked it onto the already existing ".zip" to give me "update.zip.zip" and it gave me the same error. All I had to do was rename the file "update".
haha, yeap... this is why I asked if you downloaded it to your pc, common mistake.
That is why in the noob-guide sticky I renamed the file update.zip automatically so this step was taken out.
Alright everything is now good now. Thanks guys. My iPad is now tethered to my Vibe. SO SWEET ! ! !
Next to come I might have to look into the lag fixes because that has been bugging me. Can someone tell me quick if the lag fix repairs the issue with the gallery when it is opened and acts silly?
Can someone tell me if I can delete "update.zip" after I have done this?
^ leave it. Go download rom manager and flash cwr. Make a backup.
Voodoo converts the file system to ext4, this is the method to take. It's added to the stock kernels so it's rock solid. Ext4 will help with the lag. Not sure what gallery problems you are referencing.
Telling you, nero v3 plus voodoo = Great
What is rom manager and cwr going to do for me? Why should I do this, I just don't know what those do. The silly gallery issue is sometimes opening the gallery and the phone because unresponsive and the gallery goes dark and only shows the font of the folders in the gallery.
It allows you to make a backup of your system, and flash custom rom's.
Hi everyone,
I had a couple of questions about the calibrate.ini file that you can create to recalibrate your screen.
First question is that, do I just create a blank calibrate.ini file and copy it to SD Card?
Second question is that, is there a risk of messing up my screen if I do this? or is it pretty safe to do it?
Thanks in advance
You can create the file right from your gtab using your choice of file explorer.
Instructions using ES Explorer:
1. Navigate to /sdcard/ (this is your internal memory...not sdcard2 with is your microsd card if applicable)
2. Hit menu, tap "New" then tap "File"
3. Name the file "calibration.ini" without the quotes
4. Reboot and don't touch the screen until the OS is fully loaded up (not sure if this is necessary, but can't hurt)
5. You're all set! I would then check to see if the file has disappeared from /sdcard/. It should have removed itself.
Good luck!
Update:
I was reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863741
It says that you MUST have a microsd card for this to work, and you MUST put the calibration.ini file in sdcard2 NOT sdcard as I mentioned previously.
I suggest trying to add the file to both locations, reboot, then remove both (if they still exist). It won't hurt to have the file in the wrong place.
I have used both the calibration.ini method and the app method (i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500&highlight=Calibrate) and have not had any bad things happen to my screen (only good things..).
I also went the computer to device route when creating the calibration.ini because i couldn't figure out how to make root explorer make the .ini !

Make sure you put it in the root of the SDcard
thanks a lot ...will do it when I get home
How do you know if it's doing anything? I put the file on the root of my sdcard2 and it boots like normal. Should I see something different?

Nope. But your screen will (hopefully) be more responsive.

I am not sure about CM10 but when you want to flash files in CWM, you need them in a flashable ZIP file, not extract them!
exactly what chris said leave the .zip as is don't unzip the files and transfer it to your sd card now you should be good
I installed Easy Unrar, Unzip & Zip from Goolge play to unzip a zip folder on my phone. It didn't work at all, besides, it created a folder (with strange character name) which can not be deleted. It's 0 byte, can be opened but is empty. Can not create anything inside. I tried deleting with Astro file manager, nothing happened, the folder still there. I tried deleting from my PC, it said the 'Cannot delete the folder. Storage is protected. Remove the write-protection and try again'. The strange folder is on my internal memory. I don't have a memory card installed. Please help.
I can delete any other things on my phone. The file name of the zip I tried to unzip is not English, which I suspect might be the problem?

help
ive encountered this too. can someone help us or did you already fix this? I think it has a chinese character like.apk but when you open. it opens as if it was a folder. but you cannot delete, rename, move or copy. even through desktop operations failed. and also its shows the date accessed in a year 1970. i tried to edit my date settings hoping that I might delete it but this note 2 has a minimum of year 2000. help thanks
Try to install clean master and open it. Press junk file and standard. Allow it to scan. It shld have a residual folders place. Just scan it with standard and advanced. See if it is still thr. Btw. U can unzip zip files with File Expert.
