Use a root file explorer and look in data/media. If you see the CWM folder there, move that folder into your data/media/0 folder, and then you should be able to see it from your pc.

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

Hey guys!!!
Does anybody know a way to create a shortcut in sdcard where files stored in that folder is actually a shortcut to the folder in sdcard-ext....
I dont know if any one is getting this....
I mean to say that my sdcard is very low on memory and most of the applications requires memory in it...i want to create a shortcut in sdcard which is actually a shortcut to a folder in Sdcard-ext...so that any application would recognize it as a folder in sdcard when it actually stores in sdcard-ext and executes the function of the file in the shortcut folder properly...
I actually found a thread but no explanations....
sorry if anyone finds this thread unnecessary but if someone knows the answer that would be helpful for so many of us...
Thanks

I assume you are on a stock ROM?
On CM7 I can mount the say internal sdcard to something like /sdcard/internal. On CM7 internal is mounted as /emmc and external is /sdcard.
Have to change fstab and build.prop and reboot.

If I remember correctly, we used to do this with the ZT180 tablet, have a look at creating a symlink.
Thank you karloos and dennis for the prompt reply....
@dennis....yeah I am using a stock rom...is there any way to make it work...
@karloos....would you mind giving me the instructions as to how to create a symlink
And did it work in the tablet....
Thanks guys

Not sure on stock but if you would like send me your /system/build.prop and /system/etc/vold.fstab files and I can modify them.....basicly find where is mounts the /sdcard and /sd-ext and change them.
Like I said no idea if it will work on stock rooted roms.
The sdcard can not accept symlinks from my research. It will not allow it do to permissions on the partition.
Does anyone know of an app that will let me mount a .img file from a recovery backup on my phone (if that is even possible)? I recently received a warranty replacement and I'd like to recover some files from my most recent backup (pictures/videos/etc.). I'd rather not have to restore the whole backup just to get to a few files.
I know it can be done in linux, but if there is an app out there that will mount it on my phone I'd rather do that.
Thanks

Another one is AppExtractor.

Ahh that is a cool app! Still I guess things that were on my sdcard are just gone. I can't find them (ie: pictures in the default dcim location). Maybe they are stored somewhere else in the .img files... compressed or something?
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
Hi all,
I have my Onda V972 for about a year now and it works great but since yesterday I cannot make new folders or copy other folders to my internal sdcard.
I was working with "Ofline Browser" and on a given moment he just stopped copying webpages and said "Cannot find .....".
I checked the r/w permissions with ES File Explorer and all is well.
I can make a new file or copy one to an existing folder but I cannot make new folders or subfolders.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Have you tried any other file explorer?
Or trying to make new folders from your PC?

Yes, I tried several file managers.
I can make new folders on it from the PC.
Just to be clear: It is about my internal sdcard, my external sdcard works fine!

I can't even make new folders from the PC because I cannot access it anymore.

Yes I am sure, it just happened without a reason.
The stupid thing is that everything works fine but when an app tries to make a new folder or subfolder it says that it can't find the file.
Thats because he couldn't make the folder.
Strange huh?

I was considering this but I couldn't make a copy or backup from this disk so I would loose everything on it.
Finally after a few days trying I managed to connect to the PC and I simply repaired the disk from within Explorer.
All works well again now.
Thanks for the help and thinking.
