Hey guys, so I have a question. Im currently using the Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet with chrome as my browser. Im also running ES File manager. My question is, can I change the location pictures I download (By clicking and holding, and choosing save) are saved to, such as a folder I created in ES? I dont like my pictures saved in the gallery, znd would like to manage them through thr folders like you could on a pc. Is there a way by chance? Thanks in advanced

Hello guys! The dev just released a new version with a new feature called Shortcuts.
Now, with that and using this shortcut creator, I want to make a shortcut to certain folders in my SD card (e.g. dropbox, download, etc).
Is that possible?
IDK which file manager you use, but with Astro File Manager, you have always been able to do that. Just long press screen, add shortcut, select astro, and long press the folder you want to add.
As the title says, how do I move a folder to the tablet's "desktop", the main screen that you get after the tablet is finished booting.
Running currently CM7.0.3
Thanks.
As for moving the folder itself I have no idea, however if you want to create a shortcut on the tablets "desktop" then simply install Astro File Manager, long press on the desktop, choose add item, shortcut, ASTRO & then choose the appropriate folder.
Just be sure to hit okay quickly after you choose your folder otherwise it will take you into any subfolders within the parent folder (that is unless you choose to create a shortcut for a subfolder)
If you use es file explorer all you need to add is es bookmark manager beta to do this. Just tested it.
Hmm, I wonder if this is a ROM specific issue. I'm using Beasty's ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573). When I long press on the home screen, one of the items I can add to the home screen is folders. I added a "Recent Documents" folder to the desktop to test. From the other comments, it sounds like there are a few alternatives if your ROM doesn't have a direct option to add folders to the home screen.
I'm a new forum member and a relative noob when it comes to all things Android and Tablets and Nook Tablets. I have a an unrooted Nook Tablet and need help with a few things,please.
1: I use GoLauncher as my launcher and I have all my apps in folders on my homke screen, but the folder icons are small. Any way to make them larger?
2: How do you install an app to the sd card. When I download an app it loads into the Nook. Also, how do you install an app from the sd card?
3: When I access my sd card and I long press a folder the only option I get is to delete the file. The Nook manual says that a menu should pop up.
4: Also,I see no "app" folder on my sd card. Where is it?
Thanks for any help as my old brain does not work like it used to. Also, thanks for all the info contributed by everybody that I've already gleaned from this forum.

Since you are not rooted (and neither am I), I will assume you followed instructions to install basic apps like the launcher and a file manager by emailing them to yourself. I will also assume you have installed an sdcard. The file manager will allow you to explore the contents of the card. Find a folder called MyFiles or similar. This is where to pur downloaded apk files.
Use your desktop computer to find and download apk files. Now move the files from your desktop to the Nook. Some folks will plug the Nook into the computer, navigate, and drag and drop from there. Others, like myself, will do it wirelessly via Dropbox, FTP or a simple WiFi client. Search for "WiFi File Transfer apk" to do it this way.
Once the apk is in the Nook, use a file manager to navigate to it, tap on it and the package installer should pop up. Install. If the package manager offers to move the app to the sdcard, do it.
BTW, my "old brain" is 69. Find me on Facebook "Don Birdsall" and I'll help you more.

Hi! Can somebody please tell if it is possible to create a folder on the desktop of Galaxy Note where I could put my favorite files of different types - mp3s, docs, videos etc?
It is very simple to create a new desktop folder but I have no idea how to fill it with the files I want
Also, is it possible to create a desktop shortcut to a data folder (with music etc)? Thank you very much in advance for help.
The only way to fill a folder with files is:
Make a folder in your SD card with the files you want
Download Astro file manager
Long tap on home screen
Choose 'add shortcut'
Find astro shortcut
Choose the folder
So you have a shortcut of your folder, but you'll open it with astro....
Hope I helped you

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you very much! Actually I was hoping to do it without an extra app, but this is also a very good solution.
Hi. I'm running rooted KitKat on Sam Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Can anybody tell me where the home screen shortcuts are stored?
Reason I'm asking is that whenever I update ES File Explorer, my file shortcuts get renamed to "ES Note Editor" etc., and I have to manually recreate them in order to get the filenames back. I reckon I could probably write a little script to do that if I knew where they were stored.
An answer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543882 says they are in /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases , but /data/data/com.android.launcher does not exist on my machine.
Thanks a lot.
