i put a 32 gb micro card in the tab after loading about 2gb of music on it, it found the card then only recognized about ten files while either deleting or replacing the remaining files with numbered files that come up as unreadable format. i have placed a folder labeled no media but that seems not to work. even sent it back to viewsonic and they reset it to factory ( i did that also) sent it back and it stil does it . any suggestions would be appreciated. its a stock gtab no mods
This is a known issue on some mods, although I didn't know stock also suffered from this problem. You need to create a file named ".nomedia" and place it in either the root directory, or the directory where you store your media. Note that you cannot create this file in Windows. Mac or linux may be able to, but the easiest way is to use a file explorer like ES File explorer, which has the ability to create a file.
thanks for the tip
i will give it a try and let you know what happened,
nope not working
tried as you advised , made a .nomedia file reloaded the sd card put it in wanting the world and the same thing happened. all but a few files were left and then there were 20 to 30 numbered files where there used to be mp3 folders.plus if i select one of these files it says unable to open this file type
I am not able to transfer files to the other space that you receive during root
in the root--> hack folder
when i try to transfer things with any file explorer, it will copy some and then freeze and crash
tried to transfer 3 gigs of music from my SD to the folder
I haven't had that problem. Try uninstalling ES File Explorer, then reinstalling from the Market. Make sure you go into settings and tick Root Explorer and Mount File System. I've been moving files from my SD Card to the Nook's Data folder. That subtracts from the "off-limits" storage.

then i reboot to see the couple copied songs gone
Hi,
I've had my Prime for a couple of weeks now - a great device, but one thing that is bugging me - I can't seem to copy music to the Music directory on the internal storage.
So far, the only mechanisms I've tried are copying music from the external SDHC card or the external Micro-SDHC card over to the internal memory - fail, or copy over the LAN using ES File Explorer directly - fail.
I have successfully copied movie files over to the internal storage, but the internal Music directory still has just the default files shipped with the tablet.
The one thing I haven't tried is copying directly from a PC over the USB cable, but I shouldn't really need to resort to this surely - it's not an Apple device after all!
Has anyone else had this experience? Am I missing something here? :-/
Regards,
Bruisah
[Replying to my own post - what poor etiquette! ]
Update: I can copy the default music out of the folder, and I can rename the folder, but I cannot write to the folder, nor delete it, nor delete the contents.
Workaround was to rename the folder ".music.orig" to make it 'hidden', create a new "Music" folder, copy the default music across (I haven't listened to it, so...), and copy my own music into the new Music folder...
Presumably, ASUS want to make sure the default music survives a hard reset...(?)
Still, irritating...
Regards,
Bruisah
if u use the asus file manager i can tell u itz bugged (not that badly), it corrupt my download and music folder before on separate occasions.
btw after factory reset the free music are gone.
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

Have Galaxy S2 but there is not Aura folder
I have Sygic folder and there is not database.xml and base-is-ok.txt fils?!!
how to manage to work from SD card?
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.

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
Ok my friend i having problem with his xperia ray as when ever he try to install game the .apk file installs nicely but when he puts the data folder into android\data of game and when he starts a game the game isn't taking the game data from
SD card\android\data because i thinks the mnt folder before sd card i mean
mnt\sd card\android\data is causing the problem!!
Any method to remove the mnt folder??
Dont remove the mnt folder - you'll bork your phone... To the android OS you'd be doing something similar to physically cutting out the hard disk interface of your computer while it's working... a very, very bad idea.
you can however try formatting the sd card and perhaps it would be worth also stating the name of the software you're trying to run.
Easiest way to check if this is causing the problem is to either create a directory called 'SD Card' and mount the card there, or perhaps symlink the current /mnt/sdcard. There are a host of pages online telling you how to do this - have a google at it!
So Guys thanks!! but i'm unable to supply the data files to the game
even i put the data files in sdcard\android\data
the game still asks me to download the additional data files
the same game working fine in x10 mini as there is no mnt directory before sdcard
anymore suggestions please..
I downloaded gta 3 the info said that the problem you are talking about will show up and I had to like press back when the download data came up and then minimize the game then start it again or something like that I don't really remember.
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
make me laugh
there's a sdcard folder in the root directory, that's exactly the same as mnt\sdcard...
I bet you did not explore it...
