I've been looking at custom themes on mycolorscreens.com and many of them have zip files of everything you need to set them up. However, when I try to drag the files onto my phone's internal storage on my pc it won't allow it. Does this require rooting? I have 2.06 so this isn't an option right now. Thanks!
No, you're able to do it regardless of if you're rooted or not.
What happens when you attempt to drag it into your internal storage.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I've been googling up a storm and can't figure out why it won't let me! It seems like such a simple thing.

Sounds like you may have some security setting on your computer that's preventing you from putting files on your phone.

Are you dragging over the part that says internal storage if so you must open internal storage and then drag it. That area wont work if you drag it in because its just a link windows uses to open your storage up. Microsoft needs to rethink their MTP handling setup. EDIT: also are you trying to drag something out of a zipped folder?

:good: Reaverclan is right, Windows knows how to deal with the files, even if you drag them over your "Internal Storage Icon" (it will just put it on the root).
Apps like Winzip or WinRAR don't know what to do with it though, so of you're trying to drag something from inside a zip, it won't work. Start by right clicking your zip file and selecting "Extract", then drag the extracted files where you want them

Just noticed my available space on my internal sdcard is sitting at around 2 gigs. This makes no sense. I dont have any music on it and I have gone through and deleted old pics and videos. I have also deleted old nandroid backups as well as files that i used to flash like roms and fixes.
Any ideas on whats causing this. I am running Kirf custom with voodoo enabled.
Are you sure that, that's your internal sd card and not the external sd card that you are reading off of? If you do have an external sd card please remove it, then reboot your phone, then check your memory once again without the external sd card inserted. Doing so should eliminate any confusion/confusions of you reading the wrong information.

Im looking at the right one. It says phone storage Total space:12.78 available space:1.90. With the apps I usually have installed I remember having at least 7 gigs free. This makes no sense to me.

Do you have a lot of ROMs stored on it?? a lot of game data?
these two things tend to chew up a looot of memory
I did delete all my stored roms. I do have need for speed shift installed I know it installed 150mbs when it first started up but maybe its the game save data then. I just would have thought the videos I was recording would have taken up alot more space than they did.

Just mount your sd to your PC and arrange all files/folders according to size, then browse around and you should find out whats eating your space up
I had a similar problem earlier on, it turns out that one of my database files had some how gotten corrupted and bloated to taking up a lot more space than they should have. I would check the size of your database files to make sure this hasn't happened to you.
So I figured it out. Set file manager to show hidden files. There was a folder called. trashes. Went into the folder and there was everything I ever deleted. Hit select all and delete and I am now back at 12 gigs of space. That folder had 10 gigs of trash in it! I recommendations to every one look into doing this if you are low on space.

You must have a mac, adamboyd. Am I right?
This has to do with the way macs "send" files to the trash can, which is different than a PC's recycle bin. A mac does not move the file from where it was located when you send it to the trash can, it simply places it in a hidden "trashes" folder. This isn't an issue when the files are on your computer, but when you're using your mac to delete files on an external drive (flash drives, or your phone's sd), the file remains on the drive in the hidden folder your mac created and eventually you run into the problem you experienced.
Solution: Always empty the Trash Can before ejecting the drive from your mac. That action searches out and permanently deletes all files located in the hidden trashes folders. If you empty the trash can after you've ejected the phone's sd from the computer, then obviously it won't be able to locate and delete the files that you had "moved" to the trash.
Hope that helps!
Good to know. And yeah I have a mac. I never knew that but I do now.

Also, if you make ClockWorkMod nandroid backups, they can add up fast as well. If you're low on space then you might want to move the older ones elsewhere or delete them from the phone.

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.
Sent from my GT-i9220 using Forum Runner
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.

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.

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?

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....

Ohhh, come on now. I could do this years ago with early windows mobile versions.surely it's possible to do it now?
Or am I missing the point of this question?
Because no one else has offered any help, I'll offer the general principles (principals?) and see if that helps you.
Use a file explorer like root explorer (for which you don't need root) or astro to find the director in which the stock sound are stored. Download or transfer (from PC) the sounds you want to use and put them on that same directory with the stock sounds. Reset (turn off power) on your gadget. Turn it back on, and then go into settings to set up notification sounds and you should see the new ones there in the same list as the stock sounds to select.
I hope this helps.

Put the audio files on your sd card. Use a file explorer to navigate to the folder /system/media/audio. There are four subfolders in there: /alarms, /notifications, /ringtones, and /ui. Most of what you want to change should probably be in the /ui folder. Most of the files in there are named more or less according to what function they're associated with, so simply rename your own file to match the one you want to replace, delete or rename the current file (you'll need to have the folder mounted r/w), copy and paste your renamed file into the /ui folder, and repeat until you have your phone sounding as silly as you want Individual ringtones can usually be set by opening up a contact's info and editing from there.

Various trash folders can appear, the android system should keep them under control though.
If not, delete it yourself.

In my experience, deleting files on Android doesn't move them to Trash.
I've seen .Trash1000 on my Linux Desktop, so it's probably because of deleting files from your computer while your SD card is mounted as USB storage.

If it went to your desktop trash then it would have to copy all the files to your computer, and waste space on your computer's disk.
IMO "Trash Cans" are pretty pointless. If you're not 100% sure that you want to delete a file, just don't delete it.

I was wondering, is there any way to hide the files that are placed on the "sd card" that are placed there by Android/Any other apps. I basically only want to see the folders that I make/put in there, and hide the ones that I don't use. Thnx in advanced
Seeing as it's vfat, you could maybe try setting the hidden flag, but I'm pretty sure it'd just be ignored.. and I don't think you can even really set it under linux/android. So yeah probably not much you can do, as hidden files are usually prefixed with a period. You might already have a couple hidden files on your SD card. However if you add the period to the files you want to hide, the programs looking for them won't find them because they're a different name.
Sorry I couldn't really help you but I guess you learned something, heh. Some file managers might have some kind of file hiding feature.

Not to mention, a portion of that 8 belongs to the system files and other various things....I got entirely off subject,so my apologies

Not to mention that its 16gb internal storage, not 8gb. So, if you're gonna troll, troll correctly at least..

I was wondering, is there any way to hide the files that are placed on the "sd card" that are placed there by Android/Any other apps. I basically only want to see the folders that I make/put in there, and hide the ones that I don't use. Thnx in advanced

Put a '.' in front of the folder
EX: /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA/.naughty
The gallery wont see it, so no pictures or videos will show up if thats what you want
Only way to see the folder is with root explorer or another file manager.

Yup, prefixing a folder name with a (dot) "." is Linux for a hidden folder - ".hideme".

Hiding the pron?

Putting a period "." in front of the folder will mark the folder as hidden by Linux standards, but be warned that the root user can see hidden folders by default. So, any app in the /system/app folder or any app with root privileges that doesn't follow the Linux hidden folder convention will see it and use it as a normal folder.

If you just need to hide files from the gallery/music player adding a file called ".nomedia" will prevent most apps from displaying it.

I guess the main reason that I was asking if there is an easy way to hide folders is because I don't particularly like looking through a longer list of folders than necessary when finding the folder I want to go through.
