Hi,
I copied all files from my Omate from /dev/sdf via USB, now I want to find my phone numbers and all calendar events, the top directory looks following:
.android_secure
.watchMarket
Alarms
Android
DCIM
Download
FleksyImages
LOST.DIR
Movies
Music
MyFavorite
Notifications
Pictures
Podcasts
Recording
Ringtones
WhatsApp
bluetooth
foursquare
googleota
tencent
I tried grepping whole directory tree for some words that would occur in my calendar notifications and in my contacts, but no success. It means that they are not stored in plaintext (what a pity).
Also I tried this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-reverb/777208-where-calendar-files-stored.html but really no success.
How do I find those files? And more importantly how do I export them and import them to other phones?
Try Airdroid
Many files like contacts are "hidden" in all Android devices. To get easy access to it, most useful app is Airdroid, imho

I want a very simple which I can't find for now. I want an app that syncs certain folders on my pc to certain folders on my phone. Like if I have a in the Sync folder two folders Music and Documents when I add a song or a document in the Sync folder I want with the touch of one button or automatically they to be synced with my device. I tried dropbox but it didn't work for me. I have to favorite all files that I want to be available offline. I tried Android Sync Manager too but I didn't find any option to automaticly sync a folder on my pc with a folder on my device. If I want to sync music I must first add it to Music in Android Sync Manager and then sync.
For music, you can try Google Music. You need to download the PC Program and the Android APK!
When you add music in PC Program, it syncs with your device!

Hi All,
I have a few questions about pictures and music
Pictures
I use Kies and have selected some pictures to sync to my device from the PC. Nice and easy it upload the pictures stored on the computer.
However when viewing on the handheld the pictures are not in the folders that where on my PC. They are all together or separated by date. Is there a way that I can keep all the pictures in the separate folders just like on my PC. For example Xmas 2009 – Peters Birthday 2010 which contain the relevant pictures?
If I then change my mind and I don’t want those pictures on my device I could remove via Kies. I selected the folders on the Kies menu and removed the check box. Let the computer sync but found that the pictures where still on my device. Does Kies not work like this? In the end I had to go onto my phone via the PC sync cable and manually remove the pictures.
I take pictures with my phone all the time and like to locally store a copy. I used the Kies export method but that removes all the pictures you but on the phone from the PC as well!!!!
Is there a way to export the pictures from your device that are not on your computer already?
Google + / Picaso
Is it possible to also store a local copy of pictures taken to the external SD card and upload to google +?
Music
This one is a bit of a mind blower for me.
So I sync music via Kies onto my phone which is set up to store to the external memory first. The songs find their way onto the SD card but not in the album folders! And the phone does not see the music folders on the SD card.
So what I have to do it manually drag and drop the folders / Albums onto the internal memory of the phone and all is fine.
Do I have something set up wrong?
Thanks

Something else to add to my list of questions in my contacts each contact has a face picture (which I know you can customise). However they are all different colours is there any reason for this?
The question is about synchronizing two folders residing on Android phone itself.
I've spent hours experimenting with no success.
I found programs syncing two single folders but not syncing all sub folders and contents inside subfolders multiple layers deep.
Programs offer cloud and PC synchronization but what about simply two folders both inside the Android phone, with no internet or any other connection necessary?
The obvious goal being synchronizing removable SD Card folder content with internal SD card folder content.
I've tried Google Playstore search and I have a headache from hours of not being able to do a simple two folder sync using programs that claim they are sync programs - but they can't sync two folders with subfolders inside them. I don't want to sync with PC. I don't want to sync with the Cloud. Just simple two folder sync in Android.
Hello everyone.
For a long time I am using quickpic(cmcloud) app. These days, the software was removed from google play store, cause some permissions issue, no I see that it is still visible.
App can auto backup photos, by keeping folder structure. The archive photos can be view in quickpic app also in web portal of cm cloud.
Since last updates, photos are backing up on web page, but not shown in to application. The has support of other clouds (gdrive, dropbox, samba and etc)
but it doesn't work correctly - didn't make auto backups (tried on two different devices)
I don't like google photos, cause I can't exclude folder and all photos are dropped in one global folder, no folder structure, date kept and etc.
Can you suggest some nice, pretty photo viewer, which supports auto backup or better sync photos with folder structure, using gdrive, dropbox, smb, ftp.. ?
Thanks in advance !
Hoping you can help
Ideally I want to be able to fix all issues on the phone itself without the need to connect to a laptop.
1. Phone clone worked but didn't transfer my pictures in album just in one big gallery? How can I get back into albums?
2. All photos repeat in both Huawei gallery and Google photos as default? I only need one. Can you just delete the other?
3. Big issue: all my music artwork shows up in my photo gallery so I have thousands of albums covers mixed in with my normal photos. It takes ages searching through my photos. I don't want to see any music artwork in my photo albums just on the music app when I play music. How can I hide this simply? It's for driving me mad! I don't understand the terminology around creating a no media file etc.
4. With Huawei mail how do you restore deleted emails to inbox. Doesn't seem to give the option but the trash button is where the reply button is on iPhone so easy deleted!
5. I deleted the Huawei alarm and weather by accident and they are no where to be seen in the play store. Surely there is an easy way to restore other than factory reset!?
Thanks
First of all. Welcome to the android side! I am not too sure of your first few questions as I never had them before.
As for the alarm and weather app. Have you tried finding them on the hauwei app gallery? If it is not there. Then you may have to do a factory reset. Or if there are any ADB methods you can try
Sorry that I am not of much help.
1: I don't know how Albums are organized in iPhone, but in Google photos they are just labels, all photos are present in the gallery, even if they are labeled in an album (I don't use Huawei gallery, only Google Photos).
2: I don't know exactly what you mean, but Gallery and Google Photos are most probably collecting the photos from one location, if you delete the photos in one app, they are most probable deleted in the other one. I backup all my photos with Google Photos. But if you want to get rid of one of the apps, I haven't but I just use Google Photos.
3: an empty .nomedia file in a specific folder prevents the folder to be scanned by the gallery or Google Photos, there is probable a file like this in Local Storage > Android > Data folder, go see File manager (in settings enable hidden files) and look for a .nomedia file and copy it to the Album Artwork folder.
4: I don't use Huawei mail, just Gmail.
5: I know Weather is nowhere available online (had the same issue), hard reset is probably the only way.
