Has anyone found a way to remove the Preload folders on our mediapad?
I have tried with a couple file browsers and I have root, I think.
SuperSU runs fine.
The folder is called Springboard and has Preload_Music, Preload_Photo, and Preload_Video.
I can rename it but not get rid of it and its just full of crap.

I downloaded the new Stage UI from another thread. I shoved it onto my SD and attempted to just replace the current stage UI apks but it gave me "application not installed"
I deleted the Stage UI files in titanium backup and made sure they were gone in the system app folder. I rebooted and attempted to re-install from the SD card but the phone still acts like the files are there (gives me are you sure youwant to replace the application?)
I then just moved all the files into system>app with root explorer and rebooted. still nothing.
Anyway around this?
Have you tried copying the new files to the correct locations and setting the permissions (check to see what the other apps have)? Make sure you have a backup before messing with the files.
I have Galaxy 3 with Kyrrilos 8.1 and in root of my sdcard is hidden file .config_c38
Does anybody knows what this file is and from which application? Does anyone have this file too?
I tried to delete it but it always immediately appears again.
It's a text file obviously with some configuration setting. Inside is a text of about 100 characters without spaces and starts with zdyFt8GYHJH....etc
Interests me too.
I had that file on SD at the time I was testing various apps for my phone, so the file was from one of that apps. But now I don't have that file anymore, so it has to be from some of the app I don't use anymore. I never found out which one.
More than that I can't help you.
I have a ton of folders on SD card and some places on my phone's internal storage that I want to know how to delete, bottom line is some of them are important folders that may be required by the system - some contain downloaded data from games and what not - such as The Sims Freeplay - that range in sizes from 400MB to 900MB.
I'm running on a stock phone, HAS NEVER BEEN ROOTED, DO NOT WANT TO ROOT THIS PHONE TO GET RID OF THESE - is there any ways to do this without rooting the phone?
Any help is appreciated
SDCard folder deletion
Hi,
As everyone gets to read/write on the sdcard you should be able to delete everything on the card.
Since you are unsure if the files are still needed, I'd suggest you back them up, delete them and put them back on the card if you run into problems.
Take a look at the files timestamps to identify old and probably unused files.
As for deleting stuff, I see several ways to accomplish that:
transfer files via USB mode
use a file manager from the market and just click your way through
use ADB from the android SDK, this will open a shell and you can use all the unix commands you want. You'll also have access to 'adb push' and 'adb pull' to transfer files.
Astro file manager .
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
You can probably just delete the files using a file manager. It's tedious though.
This might be a silly question, but I was currently trying to backup some saves for games I bought, and was unable to find my Final Fantasy 3
saves on my sdcard.
I found out that the saves are actually in internal storage in some location like /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP
My phone isn't currently rooted, and the file explorers I found required root.
Is there a way I can backup the saves to my PC without having a rooted phone?
I wanted to backup all my stuff before attempting to root my phone, but will the root process erase my phone's internal storage, or is that only
when flashing ROMs?
Wifi File Explorer Pro seems to work fine. I can see the folders outside of the SDCard folder...including the root stuff. Now changing those files or folders...I have not tried.

Thanks, downloaded the app and I do seem to be able to explore the phone's internal storage, however the data folder in question seems to be
completely empty according to the app.
EDIT :
After trying with another app, it looks like I probably need root to view the /data folder.
Hello,
Today I updated one of my friends phone to Android 4.3 from Android 4.1.2. I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. The problem is, all images, songs, files, everything is gone. The strange thing is that storage is used by more than 4 GB (the same use before losing data). When I go to install ZIP from the recovery, there is a 0 folder inside SD Card, however, I cannot access it normally using a file manager, not even using ES file manager or root explorer.
Any ideas?
Note: Better say, file managers can only go to sdcard/0 which has empty folders. How to go to sdcard?
