Have downloaded some videos onto the phone via kies but some of them have transferred badly. After an age of looking I have absolutely no idea how to delete them.
They don't appear in the files folder, you cannot tap and hold to delete, and there is no delete option on the video. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these videos.
Thanks
If you know the location open via My Files menu and delete .
Or use USB mass storage mode and delete via PC .
If you dont know the location check where Kies put them .
jje
Thanks
Gone into my files and there is nothing in there at all.
Cannot see anywhere on Kies to show me where it has put them
Gone into the USB mass storage mode when you plug into the PC and again you get the same folders as on the phone and all are blank
This is a major screw up by samsung if you can't just select a video and delete it as I am struggling here. Are there any apps out there to find these files?
I ran into the same problem yesterday and I couldn't figure it out!
I don't actually understand the 'file structure' on this phone. Where is everything stored?
When I connect my phone to the PC, I get two distinct drives, H: and F:
From what I can see the INTERNAL phone memory (which comes up as H: on the PC), is located at /mnt/sdcard.
What is the 'external_sd' folder that's located at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd actually for? It doesnt seem to correspond to the sdcard that's in the phone.
How to I access the sd card mamory from file manager within the phone?
I've tried looking for the videos I recorded using ES File Manager, but I cant find them anywhere...
Glad I am not alone with this one. Samsung need to sort it quick. At the moment I am wondering do you fill up the internal card and thats it because you cannot delete the videos?
external_sd is a link to whatever memory card you put in, it seems weird to me as well. In astro under tools - sd card usage this gives a treesize type view which might help track down your missing files.
downloaded astro file manager and done a search on the file name and has come upp with
/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/*****
**** being the file name
I then press and hold and on the menu that opens select show directory and there they all are. I then press the multi icon and was then allowed to select the file and delete it.
Thank goodness for that!!!!!!
Thanks for the help
In fact I now go into the files folder in the applications screens, then DCIM and now a camera folder is there with them all in. That was not there before but is now after installing and searching with Astro file manager

The sdcard/DCIM/Camera folder is where the pictures and videos taken with the camera go to, if it wasn't there before, I assume you've never taken a picture or recorded a video before.

These videos came from Kies and they were nowhere to be seen until I downloaded astro file manager. What is strange now is the DCIM folder says 0 as though it is empty but it is now full of these videos from Kies when you open it. All very strange and it only appeared after I did the search. before it there was nothing even in astro file manager.
I did take 2 photos the other day and again they have suddenly appeared in this folder

Thanks for that. That's what I thought, but the first time I tested it it didn't work, I just tried again and it worked just fine. I put a file onto the sdcard and it appeared in the external_sd folder.
One other question, /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both seem to point to the internal memory. Is there a reason it's listed twice?

I have successfully rooted my Nook using my MAC and the NARS method. I believe this is considered softrooting. I do like the B&N Nook Reader and was hoping to continue to use it. I do not have a MicroSD card yet, but it is on the way.
The main problem I have is properly storing and utilizing files in the extra 15GB of internal space.
If I want to get files on my nook, I hook it up through the USB to my Mac. It only recognizes "MyNook"-- the 1GB of space that B&N allows me to use.
As many have suggested, I installed Root Explorer and can successfully move files out of that 1GB and into the extra 15GB space. However, those files do not show up in my Nook Reader software and it does not look like I can browse to those folders in the Nook Reader.
Am I going about this all wrong?
Is there a way to use my Mac to access that extra internal space?
Is there any way to get the Nook Reader to recognize the files in that space?
Lastly: I figured I would just install Aldiko to read those files, but it says that because it can't mount the SD card, it can't find files. But I don't have an SD card-- I have 16GB of internal storage!

I had the same issue and solved it as follows:
I store my media (books, videos, mp3's, etc. ) in the /data/media directory - I get about 12Gb free. I set the directory to be R/W using Root Explorer and changed the permissions to allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using Root Explorer). I was then able to access the files in /data/media with my Ebook reader (Cool Reader), mp3 player (I use Mort Player) and videos (I use MVideo Player). I then changed the /data directory to RO.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. So, my other question is-- can you utilize the native Nook Reader to see these files? If not, can you reassign the small book icon in the notifications tray to go to Cool Reader-- or will that only go to the native Nook Reader?
Lastly, does anyone have an answer regarding accessing the internal storage via USB/Mac?

Sorry, still very confused. I navigated to the /system/app and the Library.apk was in there already. I launched it and used Package Installer to reinstall it, but it works exactly the same as before.
I also installed Cool Reader and it doesn't seem to be able to navigate below the /mnt/media directory. Is it a permissions thing?

I had a similar thought about putting my movies in that same folder, so I followed your steps. When I plugged my NT into my computer, however, only the same two options popped up---MyNook and my sd card. So far as I can tell, the computer is still not recognizing the /data/media folder, so I'm still unable to sideload into that folder.
Have I missed a step? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need another program to "help" me sideload into that folder?

You will not be able to see the internal storage on a PC (unless your PC is a Linux box) - it can only be seen on the device using a file explorer such as Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
You sideload there by placing a file in one of the two partitions that you can see and then moving/copying it with one of the two aforementioned file managers.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Ah well... it'll do until they figure out how to safely expand the MyNook partition.

Hey, I can access the root and thus internal storage and also the mounted ext-sd card in Snowball's mod via my PC (Win 7). Try googling it to d/l it for free.

Okay, so I ran the script to give me access to my internal storage. Someone else is telling me I now need to put whatever files I want MX Player to see, in /mnt/internal. But you clearly state that you put them in /data/media. Either way, MX Player isn't seeing them, and I've got all rights checked on all of these locations.
What am I missing?

Why are you running a script? I think that you are making it needlessly complicated for yourself. If you just follow what I did here: I store my media (books, videos, mp3's, etc. ) in the /data/media directory - I get about 12Gb free. I set the directory to be R/W using Root Explorer and changed the permissions to allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using Root Explorer). I was then able to access the files in /data/media with my Ebook reader (Cool Reader), mp3 player (I use Mort Player) and videos (I use MVideo Player). it will work
It might be easier to go back to the original clrboot file and start over. And make certain that the media partition that you place your stuff in is /data/media - there should be about 12 Gb free.

Because I was pointed to this, as the method to get acccess to all of our storage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20401344&postcount=72
I followed your steps above, which is why I asked at all... because it didn't work for me. I will try going back to the original clrboot file. I assume I just rename it back to .sh and reboot, correct?
Where can I see how much space is free, once I do that?
*****UPDATE*****
So, not sure why this happened, but apparently the actual video files, which were in folders on my SD card, DID NOT move with the folders when I copied them to both /data/media/videos and /mnt/internal/videos. Just empty folders.
So, I need to get them back on my Nook, as I've since deleted them from my SD card, and try this again.
Funny, an app not showing me what's not there...

Well no real harm done. Why no try with one file first instead of a whole folder - I usually do that when unsure - if it works then your good to go.

Yeah, doing that now. Something funky happened when cutting and pasting a folder with *.avi files within in. Only copied the folder but, of course, deleted the *.avi files. Next time, I'll know to only use copy and paste, and delete later.
UPDATE: Okay, here's what I did:
1. Deleted the clrboot file I had copied previously. Renamed original one back to .sh. Rebooted.
2. Tried getting all of this to work without redoing the clrboot file thing again. Didn't work.
3. Copied the clrboot zip from this site again, and copied it to /system/bin, after naming the original one with the .bk ext.
4. Rebooted.
5. Created a "Videos" folder in /data/media.
6. Set the /data/media folder's permissions to allow everything. All boxes checked.
7. Copied one *.avi file to /data/media/videos.
8. Specified that folder in MX Player.
9. MX Player doesn't see it.
UPDATE TO UPDATE: It sees it! Yea! It's seeing it in /data/media/videos and /media/My Files/videos. I don't need it in both places, but was playing around with different locations.
Now, if I could just get MX Player to stop crashing on me.

The zip file is supposed to be unzipped.
In addition not all of the permission boxes are set on my clrbootcount.sh, though I use Root Explorer.
A Further Thought
Can you try to put back the original clrboot script, reboot and then try to load a file into your data/media partition - I am concerned about the results of using the modded script. I attached the original clrbootcnt file - it has a doc extension - please change clrbootcnt.doc to clrbootcnt.sh and then try to use it.
hello guys i followed this guide trying to put the sygic maps on external sd but it didnt work. i am thinking that it is cause of ICS. i am currently running hydrogenics. here is the guide i followed:
Code:
1. Install Sygic GPS Navigation on your Android phone.
2. Start the Sygic Download application and download your favorites maps.
3. After download is completed close the Sygic Download application and connect your phone in USB storage mode to a PC.
4. On the PC side, move all content except database.xml and base-is-ok.txt from Aura folder on the internal phone memory to a folder called Aura on the external_sd card.
So after this process on the internal phone memory should be a folder called Aura with 2 files in it: database.xml and base-is-ok.txt and on the external_sd card in the Aura folder should be all the files needed by Sygic.
5. Make a back-up copy of database.xml then open it with Notepad editor. You will see that the file is pretty consistent. While in Notepad press CRTL+H and the find and replace option appears.
In the Find what field write:Aura/
In the Replace with write:external_sd/Aura/
Now press Replace All then Save the file (CTRL+S).
6. Disconnect storage from PC and start Sygic GPS Navigation. The program should start with no problem.
Make sure to not start Sygic Download application after this process as it will erase everything from the external_sd and will re-download the maps to internal phone memory. If you want new maps you have to start the process all over again or move the maps to a temporary folder, start Sygic Download, download new maps, and repeat the whole process from step 3.
If something goes wrong and your Sygic GPS Navigation application is not working or you just want to go to default program folders you can always delete the Aura folder from internal phone memory and external sd card but be aware you’ll lose all the downloaded maps.
Or without loosing the downloaded maps, you can move the content of Aura folder from the external sd card back to Aura folder on the internal phone memory, delete database.xml file, restore the back-up file and everything should be fine.
Ask Sygic support. Since you paid for the app/maps, they'll be happy to help.
sygic has no information, they said try to uninstall the app and install it again, it should detect the aura directory but it didn't
I do it in my I9003 with RemICS (4.0.4), and Sygic dont work.
Sygic dont open.
You MUST copy navi files to internal memory card, not external.
succes
You may have them on external sd card with ICS but it's a little strange.
I looked at the file settings.ini in the folder Android of the folder Aura on the internal memory.
There is 3 settings for the maps : RessourcePath, MapsPath and ContentsPath
The 3 are set to relative path from this folder to go to the folder Aura/Maps and Aura/Res
I modified them to go to the relative path where I put my maps on the external sd ie up to aura, up to sdcard, up to mnt then down to external sd, down to aura and Maps or Res
It works perfectly on my ics device.
So happy I was
I tried to do the same on my android 2.3.1 device, a samsung mini 2 and it don't work, although the path is correct. More strange, when I use relative paths, I got the sygic logo and initialization" than nothing. When I use absolute path, black screen.
So be careful

I'll give you a step-by-step guide on how to do this. I did it on android 4.0.4 (ICS), so I don't know if it'll work on any other version of android.
First, you will need a file manager (like ES File Explorer), and you will need to know the path of your external sd card.
There are two options that I know, and I'll tell you what to do for those options. If the path is different, just adjust accordingly.
The external sd card path could be something like:
a) /emmc/ -> I have this on CM9
b) /storage/sdcard1/ -> I have this on CM10
c) /sdcard/external_sd/ -> I think this is for the stock rom
The path of the internal card will be /sdcard/
Now, go to your external sd card from your file manager, and create a folder called 'Aura'.
Then go to your internal card, then to the folder 'Aura', and move the folders 'Res' and 'Maps' to the 'Aura' folder you just created on your external sd card.
Finally, you have to go to your internal sd card, then to the folder 'Aura' and then to 'Android'. There you'll find a file called 'settings.ini'. Open it in your explorer and use a text editor (if you are using ES File Explorer, then when you click on the file, choose ES Text Editor to open it).
Once opened, look for 'ResourcePath', 'MapPath' and 'ContentPath'.
You will see something like this:
Code:
ResourcePath=/../Res
MapPath=/../Maps
ContentPath=/../Maps
Now, you will have to change these values to the relative path to your external sd card.
If your external sd card's path is one of this:
a) /emmc/
b) /storage/sdcard1/
c) /scard/external_sd/
Just use the instructions bellow. Otherwise, adjust accordingly.
For a) you'll have to change the values to this:
Code:
ResourcePath=/../../../emmc/Aura/Res
MapPath=/../../../emmc/Aura/Maps
ContentPath=/../../../emmc/Aura/Maps
For b):
Code:
ResourcePath=/../../../sdcard1/Aura/Res
MapPath=/../../../sdcard1/Aura/Maps
ContentPath=/../../../sdcard1/Aura/Maps
And for c), to this:
Code:
ResourcePath=/../../external_sd/Aura/Res
MapPath=/../../external_sd/Aura/Maps
ContentPath=/../../external_sd/Aura/Maps
Hope this helps.
thanks
thanks bro it worked for me but i am also at cm9 b2 and my directory is not emmc but mnt/external_sd/Aura and thats works fine thank you
It took me almost two days to make this work but it finely works on my Note 2. Here are the steps. They are based on the instructions above but just a bit different.
On the Note2, the internal (built-in) SD card shows up as "sdcard" under root. The external SD card shows up as /storage/extSdCard (you can also navigate to it using this path /mnt/extSdCard).
After the initial installation, there will be three directories under Aura/on your internal SD card: Android, Maps, and Res. There will be also two files there: base-is-ok.txt and database.xml.
1. Make backup copies of database.xml and Android/settings.ini. You will be making changes to both of them.
3. On the external SD card create a directory called Aura (root of the SD card).
2. Move Maps and Res directories to /Aura/ on the external SD card. Leave the Android directory and the two files under Aura on the internal SD card (Android, base-is-ok.txt, and database.xml remain where they are - on the internal SD card).
3. Using Notepad++ or a similar editor, open database.xml on the internal SD card and replace all occurrences of Aura/Maps and Aura/Res with mnt/extSdCard/Aura/Maps and mnt/extSdCard/Aura/Res. No leading /.
4. Using Notepad++, open Android/settings.ini on the internal SD card and change these lines:
ResourcePath=/../Res
MapPath=/../Maps
ContentPath=/../Maps
to
ResourcePath=/../../../extSdCard/Aura/Res
MapPath=/../../../extSdCard/Aura/Maps
ContentPath=/../../../extSdCard/Aura/Maps

What version of Sygic are you running? Did you try to search for those two files in case your installation was different. Did you try to edit the settings.ini file in the Android directory?

Files are in /sdcard/Sygic.
That's strange; mine is the same version. Try to uninstall, clean up all directories, make sure all directories are gone and reinstall.

hello guys i followed this guide trying to put the sygic maps on external sd but it didnt work. i am thinking that it is cause of ICS. i am currently running hydrogenics. here is the guide i followed:
Code:
1. Install Sygic GPS Navigation on your Android phone.
2. Start the Sygic Download application and download your favorites maps.
3. After download is completed close the Sygic Download application and connect your phone in USB storage mode to a PC.
4. On the PC side, move all content except database.xml and base-is-ok.txt from Aura folder on the internal phone memory to a folder called Aura on the external_sd card.
So after this process on the internal phone memory should be a folder called Aura with 2 files in it: database.xml and base-is-ok.txt and on the external_sd card in the Aura folder should be all the files needed by Sygic.
5. Make a back-up copy of database.xml then open it with Notepad editor. You will see that the file is pretty consistent. While in Notepad press CRTL+H and the find and replace option appears.
In the Find what field write:Aura/
In the Replace with write:external_sd/Aura/
Now press Replace All then Save the file (CTRL+S).
6. Disconnect storage from PC and start Sygic GPS Navigation. The program should start with no problem.
Make sure to not start Sygic Download application after this process as it will erase everything from the external_sd and will re-download the maps to internal phone memory. If you want new maps you have to start the process all over again or move the maps to a temporary folder, start Sygic Download, download new maps, and repeat the whole process from step 3.
If something goes wrong and your Sygic GPS Navigation application is not working or you just want to go to default program folders you can always delete the Aura folder from internal phone memory and external sd card but be aware you’ll lose all the downloaded maps.
Or without loosing the downloaded maps, you can move the content of Aura folder from the external sd card back to Aura folder on the internal phone memory, delete database.xml file, restore the back-up file and everything should be fine.

Sygic 12.1.3 working with SGS2
1. Install and open Sygic (12.1.3) and wait for the download ("\Sygic\Res" folders will be created)
2. Move your "Maps" folder to a folder called "Sygic" in your external SD card
3. Edit the file "settings" from the internal SD card (\Sygic\Android) and change the paths:
With ROM 4.0.3:
; Path to folder with Maps
MapPath=/../../external_sd/Sygic/Maps
; Path to folder with Content Informations (content.info, content.lic, footprint.info)
ContentPath=/../../external_sd/Sygic/Maps
With ROM 4.1.2:
; Path to folder with Maps
MapPath=/../../../extSdCard/Sygic/Maps
; Path to folder with Content Informations (content.info, content.lic, footprint.info)
ContentPath=/../../../extSdCard/Sygic/Maps
Hi, I was wondering. My Galaxy S3 had little space left on internal storage, but I have plenty on my external SD card. If I move game files, like Gameloft for example, to my external SD and symlink the files, would that work? Any disadvantages to this method? I have a rooted phone and ROM Toolbox.

I don't symlink the files, but bind-mounting the game directories work for me (Jet Set Radio, GTA III, ShadowGun). I use DirectoryBind for this. There's a guide in this forum on how to use it, but it's not to pick up on its own - just make sure you have the alternate dbase mgmt option ticked so that the program actually saves your mounts.
Alternative mgmt? Can you elaborate? I have this app, but I don't really get along with it, and it gave new a few errors now and then, I was worried of losing game saves and stuff.

Ah, for the application to actually retain the bind points you set after a reboot, you have to open the settings of Directory Bind and tick the "Alternate dbase mgmt" option.
Honestly, I haven't had any problems using it. After setting it up (Bind on boot enabled, Handle USB connection enabled, the default data path set to "/storage/extSdCard", default target path set to "/storage/sdcard0/", alternate dbase mgmt ticked and, I forgot to mention this earlier, sorry, Bypass path verification ticked because /storage is a JB thing, and Directory Bind, from the Gingerbread era, doesn't recognise /storage), my typical workflow with it goes like this:
I use Solid Explorer to move the game directory from the internal eMMC to the external microSD: I navigate to /storage/sdcard0/Android/data, find the game folder and move it to /storage/extSdCard/Android/data. I don't use Directory Bind's option for it because game files can take a while to copy and Solid Explorer puts up an ongoing notification while it's copying the files so that you can do other stuff meanwhile without worrying that the phone will close Solid Explorer
I then create an empty folder with the same name as the folder I moved in the original place
Add a new entry in Directory Bind: in the source data path, I select the folder I copied to the external SD by holding the text field; in the the target path, I select the empty folder which used to host the files on the internal eMMC
I then click add, tick the checkbox to the right so that Directory Bind will activate the bind mount on boot and press the floppy disk icon to the left so that I get the bind mount activated now
That's all I do. Only issue I have is that the delete option when removing a bind mount doesn't really work. No biggie. I just open up Solid Explorer.
Regarding your saves: This probably isn't true for all games, but I think most don't save to your SD card - they use the normal area designated by Android for this stuff in /data/data/app.name.

I see, thanks for the explanation! I'll try this in a few hours and say how it works. Thanks!

Great mod I found and modified slightly for the Note II. Saves the music you download from Google Play to your external SD card instead of your coveted internal space which never seems enough. This is easy to do trust me I'm by no means an expert. Credit to skittles who actually credits someone else in his post.
--First off use Root Explorer or something likewise to create a folder on your external SD card named "MusicCache" (It's important to remember CAPS matters during this MOD).
--Next using Root Explorer again create a file named "MusicScript.txt" on your INTERNAL SD card. (Differentiate the two by using Root Explorer to navigate to storage. extSdCard is your external card. sdcard0 is your internal card.
--Download SManager from Google Play (Scripts Manager app). Use Root Explorer to navigate to the file you just created on your internal Sd card "MusicScript.txt" and open into a text editor (your choice doesn't matter, I use TED on Google Play). Type this exactly in "mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard/MusicCache/ /data/data/com.google.android.music/" Save it. IMPORTANT- Depending on what ROM your using your extSdCard may be called something different. Just use Root Explorer to navigate to the specific folders your binding together here and look at the top of the screen when your there. The entire path is written out there for you. This will show you if your card is named something different. CAPS matter!
--Open SManager and navigate to the "MusicScript.txt" file you just got done working on. Make sure the first time you open it you click the Search with Root option and grant it root access. You'll need root access for this. Click on the file and select "Su" (Superuser) and "Boot" (Boot option) located near the top and save it.
--Open settings and go into application manager. Find your Play Music (Google's music app) and force stop and clear data on it.
--Lastly, Reboot. If you did everything correctly you'll open Play Music app and have to reselect your account. Next go into select music for device and it should have your external Sd card space on the bottom instead of your internals.
Good Luck
This is sweet worked perfect! Is there a way to do the same for movies off google play?

If you guys are using the xposed framework there is a module called music2sd and it works flawlessly. A little easier to use thank this.

This is cool.
I was using 1106K version of Play Music, because it was the last version that had support for the Nova Launcher SD selector activity. Now I can upgrade my Play Music version.
