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.

I have Galaxy 3 with Kyrrilos 8.1 and in root of my sdcard is hidden file .config_c38
Does anybody knows what this file is and from which application? Does anyone have this file too?
I tried to delete it but it always immediately appears again.
It's a text file obviously with some configuration setting. Inside is a text of about 100 characters without spaces and starts with zdyFt8GYHJH....etc
Interests me too.
I had that file on SD at the time I was testing various apps for my phone, so the file was from one of that apps. But now I don't have that file anymore, so it has to be from some of the app I don't use anymore. I never found out which one.
More than that I can't help you.
Is there an app or widget that will show me what files are located in a folder? For example I have a folder called DOCUMENTS. I want a widget that will allow me to scroll through the files in the folder, pick a file and open it in one of the Office apps. I know I can go to a File Manager app and hit a few directories and get it that way I am but just looking for a short cut to a specific folder.
I am ONLY looking for a single folder that I have my project files in for work.
Here is an app that kind of does what I am looking for (searches the SDCARD for predefined files) but doesn't work on ICS as I tried it.

I solved my problem of putting a shortcut for a folder or file on the home screen.
The answer is here:
Shortcut for Folders-Files on Home Screen

I am a little surprised this functionality isn't built into Android already for shortcuts or in the more "popular" file explorer apps.
Hi,
is it possible to add some files (.pdf, .doc, ...) on home screen? I was only able to add folder, but do not know how to add files to folder for example.
Thanks,
Rok

sorry,does not see
Use ES file explorer.
You can long click on any file and then choose ×´shortcut".
Go back to your homescreen and you'll see the file there.

You can do this in a number of ways. I normally use Root Explorer, or I sometimes use Tasker.
The easiest is to use Root Explorer (other file managers may work the same). Just navigate to a file and long press on it and choose 'Create shortcut' from the context menu. The shortcut is automatically put on your homescreen and you can then add it to a folder (screenshot attached).
Thank you all.
I used ES file exlorer.

I used to have n95 until now and was satisfied with it. Even though performance of s3 is amazing, I find it "little funny" for the price of over 600€ that I have to install few apps to just do "basic stuff" like:
- create shortcut on home screen for a file
- send SMS to more than 10 people at once

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
Hi! Lately my unrooted tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T533) is not allowing full RW access to X-Plorer, Es Explorer or even My Files, so I can't move around, delete files properly. It prompts me to provide access to the app , instructing me to select the SD root folder from an "open from" menu that pops up. However, when I select it, it takes me back to the same menu again and again. No luck changing to different apps. The SD seems to work otherwise, I can read te content. I have seen solutions related to changing the framework.xml files, but I need to root and I don't want to. Also, I read also that my "documents" app could be disabled, which is not. The tablet is using Touchwiz stock 5.1.1.
Any other solutions that avoids rooting of formatting? Thank you very much in advance! I hope I posted it on the right forum!
Regards
