[Q] Finding and reading an app database. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So guyz, these days i'm playing around with tasker and now i got a pretty cool idea. I already worked with databes and i am able to manage them. The problem is: I don't know how this app stores data, as i am not a dev. I seeked in data/data/package.name/ folder but i haven't found anything useful. The app in question is MyHomework and i precisely want to seek for tomorrow homeworks and write them in a uccw widget. I've done all of this with other apps but i simply can't find the place where data is accessible. Hope i was clear, as my english is not very good :C (and i hope this is the right section, i was undecided between this and android app section, please don't kill me)

The databases are stored in
Code:
/data/data/package.name/databases/databasename

Yeah i know that, i was intending i browsed in every folder in that dir. In databases folder there's only garbage regarding google, chromium and ads; i can't find anything useful. So i deduce this app doesn't store data in databases D: Well is there anyway to take these data?

[Q] Application shortcut with command line parameters

Hi.
I always had windows mobile devices in the past, and like you must know, the old good windows mobile no longer exist... Microsoft killed it.
So I switched to Android. I really like android, The way it works is pretty the same than windows mobile with file browser, files system(Not like the Iphone without any way to deal with a file at all), .APK install like the .CAB on WM...
One think that I loved on WM is how easy it was to make shortcut by yourself, even with parameters. As example, it was easy to create a shortcut to Coreplayer to play an HTTP stream when simply clicking on it.
Like: "coreplayer.exe my_teststreamDOTcom : portNumber"
I searched a lot over internet and forums all over there, and I can't see any solution like this on android.
I'm pretty sure that you can do it with some application like ANYCUT or BETTERCUT or also "MANUAL INTENT SHORTCUT" But I have not find any documentation or example to how to do this.
Any of you having the same problem or found a method to do this?
Thanks!!
Cedric
No one what to do the same thing really?
Apps in the Android store which might fit the bill: "tasker" and "script manager"

Did those apps work?
It's been a few months since he asked, I doubt if he's checking the thread regularly. He's probably found some answer or workaround, since November. I posted the answer mostly because this thread will pop up in internet searches, and it will be able to help others find the answer quickly, too.
Good lookin out pimpin.

Get rid of built-in wallpaper images?

OK, after browsing around I can see this forum is for hard-core tinkerers and "rooting" is over my head right now, but since the forum description says
"For all your questions relating to the Barnes n Nobel Nook Tablet"
I'm going to ask my basic question anyway ...
How do you permanently get rid of the wall paper images that come on the Nook?
You can delete them from the "My Media" picture gallery but they come back every time you reboot. I have the "Open Explorer" app and have looked through every directory it shows me, hoping to b able to find and delete them once and for all, but I can't find them.
I know this is probably quite basic but please someone take pity on me and tell me how to getrid of these pesky, unwanted images for good.
Thankyou.

I didn't load stock rom to find the locations because you are not rooted and I don't believe you have the access you wish. Here is a paste from the the play store about Open Explorer. "Superuser/Root ability to list/read system folders (no system write yet)"
Good Luck!
I decided to load stock rooted 1.4.2 and find the system location of the stock wallpapers. /system/media/wallpapers/
you won't have access without root. Just forget that those exist until you decide to root; they take little space!

[Q] Organisation App

Hey there, I've had an android phone knocking around for some time but only recently started really using it. The main reason I need it is to organize my self, my work and life.
So with this in mind I went and got Any.do and such apps but as I downloaded opened and discarded them I started to find that they all seem to run into the same grave limitations. I have a room full of lists on bits of paper and what I want is to keep them on my phone. But the apps I try offer the option of creating a list and that's it, about 70% of them I discarded because you cant even change the order of the items in the list which is useless to me as i need to write them in priority.
The next problem is that apps such as Any.do which is the best I've found so far can create folders such as work and play and then one long list of everything i will ever need to do at work. I have many tasks to do at work and those tasks consist of other lists of tasks and so on. For example I need to sort out transport up north for a group of people to do a job so I have a work list with the current jobs on it and on it is this job's name, on another bit of paper iis a list of things i need to do for this Job. One of the things I need to do is sort the van out so under fix the van is another list of things I need to do to fix the van, in that list amongst other things in insurance, so i have another list of things to do to get the insurance.
This is how it all works, breaking big tasks down into smaller and smaller tasks till life is all clear and doable. One folder labeled WORK with all these things listed is useless. Great for doing the shopping or organizing a party but no good for organizing your life unless your life is painfully simple.
Because the method of lists within lists is so old and simple and suited to an app I presumed they'd all be able to do it but I cant seem to find one anywhere and I've been at it for a while but then I can barely turn the thing on. So please anyone who knows where to look or what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate some guidance.

sorry, but you are searching for an notes app, am i right?
i suggest you to try google keep, easy to use, reorderable, you can set alarms and its in the google enviroment.. so it is synced between devices and browser
.. or ask the nsa for help, if you forgot something
I'm searching using the terms: Organization, to do list, Productivity and things like this to try and find an App to help organize into one orderly document of easily assessable lists of what I have to do.
Google Keep is another one that you can make lists in but the list's can not reference each other so you can list everything you have and need to do and buy and so on but you can not group or nest the lists beyond the first level much like the other apps I've seen. You can list WORK,HOLIDAY,SHOP,PARTY and then within the WORK list you can list NORTHERN JOB, FRANK'S, TAX RETURNS. But then that's it. You cant list anything inside TAX RETURNS. It's to basic to organize anything beyond odd jobs and the shopping.
It is one of the ones that is reorderable as in you can move the order of items in the two lists and synchronizing and alarms and all that is fine but I just really need a simple but effective app that allows me to create lists to organize what I have to do and in what order.
I guess I can do it by using folders inside folders with names on them for jobs but it seems like a hell of a work around. Be easier to just live with all my bits of paper but I'm sure there are apps out there to organize things in a little more depth than things like Google keep, I'm sure just not looking in the right place? Anyone?

Apk install file modification monitor?

Be gentle, new poster...
I've been scouring Google Play Market, F-Droid, and the net in general for an app that can Monitor and Log all files/folders created during the installation of another apk. Preferably one that can revert these changes with it's own uninstall sequence.
I'm so tired of having to root around in a file explorer trying to identify and clean out completely useless folders and files left behind by over-reaching apps. ES File explorer pro has a feature that cleans -some- of this crud upon uninstalling an app, but it leaves much behind.
Any suggestions? Pointers? I'm not opposed to creating my own Tasker profile to achieve the results, but I'd rather have a nice neat all-in-one app for it.
[Sorry if this is in the totally wrong forum, or I made any kind of posting whoopsie. Still very new to posting in forums, feel free to berate me and point me to the right place, so that I learn.]
maybe Xinstaller,app cache cleaner,smart booster (3 of them or 2 of them can help for setting things that u want.
@mark manning
sir,
another 1..
please move it to dedicated forum.
I'm looking for the same type of app.
I was using SD maid on my rooted S2 and it was doing some kind of tracking app installations.
And after getting rid of the app, it showed corps from the specific app.
But I think it didn't show all of em.
Cause while using an Explorer like solid Explorer, I still could find some folders from apps I already deleted from my phone.
Not just folders, also library's, thumbnails and many more stuff like that.
It's not a big deal, but if you trying a lot of apps without keeping them on your phone, like me, you will came to that point, where your phone is floated with stuff from apps you aren't using anymore.
So if there is an app out there,at best without needing root, I would love this app and also would be willing to pay for it.
And if there is no app out there, what I can't imagine, we should contact an dev with that idea.
And because I'm an German, don't get mad at my bad English skills.
Sent from my SM-N915FY using XDA-Developers mobile app
Afaik, such an app does not exist (yet).
SD Maid's CorpseFinder the closest thing we have right now, but it's passive and database based.
I've looked into this idea already and some things worked, but it was not reliable or safe enough to just start deleting files based the collected information.
It also wasn't very battery friendly.

you can try to use package if you want to have "folders in folders" used by compiler (java language)

There's no "trick" to it; it has native support.
You can transfer folders in folders etc from a Windows PC as is.
My whole music database is structured like this and seamlessly transfers back and forth between the 10+ and PC completely intact.

I'm reminded of what Basil Rathbone would say to Nigel Bruce.
All little kids do is play to learn with Androids... works well. Pretty much what I do most of the time. Samsung variants have lots of features and hidden tricks.
Adroids are fun to play with... at any level.
Brother does not talk about the file manager
Otherwise, it is known that this matter is very easy
I guess he's talking about interface applications
I think he wants to create a new folder
And inside this folder he wants to create another folder
This cannot be done in the interface of the applications screen
