APK files don't show up in file manager - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I'm running CM7 off SD. I put the SD into my card reader and copied over the APK files but once back in the NT 16gb The file manager doesn't show the APK files for me to install them.

Check wheater they are hidden or download root explorer(avilable in market) which will solve everything

Grabbed the ES File Explorer and turned off hidden files and checked to show root. I can see alot more things now but still not where the files are. Finally though I can see my computer with this browser and I'm copying the files over that way.

If you used a card reader to copy the APK files to an SD card, you're copying them to a partition that is not visible when you actually boot the NT. You need to copy them when the NT is connected to the PC using the USB cable.

[Q] how to write on micro SD card?

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a dum question but i cant figure out what the issue is. I have a 4gb micro sd card in my Vegan Gtablet. I can go into es explorer and see the sdcard 2. I have been able to create a folder in that sdcard 2. When i take it out the folder is gone so i know that is the place i need to be. Anyways When i try to move media files from sdcard to sdcard 2. It gives me a error and wont move it. What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?
Any help would be great. Thx.
have you tried using Root Explorer to make the folder r/w? I'd like to understand the difference between the sdcard and the sdcard2. I have my gtab (vegan) mounted currently to my pc, and i see sdcard as empty and sdcard2 with files, but when i had no card in, the sdcard had the contents and sdcard 2 was empty.... Anyone have insight on these folders?
sd card2 issues
I am also running vegan on my gtab. my computer can not see sdcard2 (external card) but I can transfer files to it via usb drive using adao file manager. when I shutdown my gtab the files dissapear. Is there a fix that will allow us to use the sdcard2? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
I went and used root explorer and gave me error that its a read only system. Im trying to move media files from my built in gtab memory to the micro SD card? How can this be done? Help !!!

There should be a button at the top of the file list to change from RO (Read only) to RW (Read Write) file systems.
When i went into Sdcard 2 no such option. When i went to Sdcard there was. When i went back and held down on SDcard 2 and went to permission that is where i got the error.
Did you format the micro sd card correctly? I had some problems and then formatted it on my PC to FAT32 (make sure you back up your files on the card beforehand to your PC) and all was ok. I can transfer files to it via es file explorer or Astro.
vcs11 - your computer won't show your micro sd (sdcard2), only the internal storage. Disappearing files on sdcard2 seems to be pretty common. For a solution search the forum for ".nomedia" file.

[Q] permanently download from card reader to gallery

I can't seem to figure out how to permantly download pictures from memory cards to the gallery on my tab. They show up as long as card reader is plugged in but disappear when removed. Using the Samsung USB adapter with Sony 17 in 1 card reader.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Tried searching but my keyboard disappears when I click on search box......?
I'm not sure what you're asking. It makes sense to me that once you unplug the card reader that none of pictures on the card reader would be viewable.
If you want those photos in your gallery after you remove the SD card then copy them to the Tab's internal memory from the SD card.
Thats what im trying to do... Transfer files to tabs internal memory.

Use a file explorer app like EZ File Explorer, ASTRO File Manager or Root Explorer. In your /sdcard/ folder copy the images from a folder named usbStorage to your Pictures or any other folder in /sdcard/.
Ok thnx... Will try tonite

Look for that folder called ex_sd or something like that. thats where your real sd card files are

sdcard isn't the folder. that's the internal bit you get courtesy of the powers that be.
you want to look for either /sdcard2/ or /ext-sdcard/

Copy files from internal storage to PC

Hi everyone,
I'm tryin to copy the files from the internal storage of an Xperia SP (I copied the SD card file with no problem) but it takes forever (with USB cable)
I tried several methods but I really can't copy something more than 1MB.
I know it's an android problem but is there a way to copy those files easily and fast?

Can you not expand your internal storage, and drag and drop the files to PC? That's how I do it and they copy quickly.

YEs, I can see the files but it's VERY slow, even to open a folder or copy 20MB file.. Now I'm tryin to copy all the internal memory files into the sd and then copy them on my PC through the other protocol available on the Xperia. Not MTP, the other one, which allow to access only the SD (i don't know why) but it's very fast

Using ADB is fast method. But if you are new to this, you will have to learn how to install sdk and all stufs to make adb run
