Is there any way to add already bought epub files to the new htc reader app? I am currently running a desireHD rom.
Edit: Using the search function in root explorer app, I found that epub files are stored in /etc directory xD

Which is the best file manager on Android platform? Now I use the eFile app, but it has some deficiency (cannot write/delete root files, strange way of sorting the files, etc.). I've tried at least 15 file manager apps, but I haven't find yet the best. I need basic file handling (copy, move, etc), unzip/zip, unrar, modify on root, small size (yeah, X8 with 200 MB phone memory). So which is the best?
Have you tried androzip? It's great for archiving tasks. I'm using it in conjunction with astro.
Root explorer is what you need if you want total control over your entire file system.
There are .apk around here somewhere.
I use ES File Explorer, it knows everything (maybe except unrar) and it's free. You can set it to be a root explorer and you can mount the partitions from within the app

I've tried androzip, ES and Astro, but they cannot extract rar files. This is very important for my work, I always receive emails with rar attachment ( rar is the official compression method in my company)
I've no experience with root explorer, but i will try it

Use unrar Or unrar pro.

Yes, is my favorit also

I love ES File Explorer. It is best for me, to manage files from my computer over W-LAN.
Aksi sometimes i am using Root Explorer.
I would recommend Astro File Manager.
Another vote for Root Explorer.

+1, for all your files' needs
for navigating to my sd card and installing apps I use Astro File Manager, and for system management, permissions... creating folders etc.. I use Root Explorer.
I've tried a few but I use ES File Explorer. Just my preference to manage files with. Well I use that and AndroZip of something needs decompressing. Is root explorer just for your root folder for your phone or does it have access to all.folders? Probably a silly question.

Yes. It gives you access to everything. When in root folder just scroll down to/sdcard/ to access your sd card contents.
Definately Astro for me
Howdy all.
I was looking today to transfer an apk to my friend but unfortunately I don't know where they are stored. I tried to send him Linda file manager through the Share this app via the Market but you actually need data for that option. So I was considering to locate the corresponding .apk and transfer it via Bluetooth but no luck.
Can we do it this way?
TIA

I installed App backup & reinstall and it saves apps as apk files. There is probably another way, but this worked for me

If you have a file manager app such as root explorer just go to your data/app folder (its in the root directory of your phone) and all the Apps you've installed should be in there

folks, newbie here.
i noticed that there are 2 types of file explorer, the system file explorer that allows you browse around the /system/ directories and the media file explorer such as andro file explorer
could anyone please advise me any file explorer that allows me to access both /sdcard/ and /system/ directories please?
i stumbled upon this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716309 that recommends root explorer, but it doesnt allow me to open /sdcard/ directories
thanks in advance
I use ES File Explorer and Root Explorer. Both give you full access to your phones file system, including /system and /sdcard.

They do, es file explorer is free, and allows you to to lan shares from pc. Just have to enable root options in settings. I have both, but I currently use es file since I can access my pc from it.

thanks kleeman for the info,
I have a rooted HTC One X ATT version, running on non ATT network (brought it to asia)
it doesnt allow me to tether out of a box nor play downloaded glumobile games.
i've browsed xdaforum and found out there are several files in root directory that need to be replaced to fix this.
so i need to access /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
(which root explorer allows me to access, but doesnt allow me to access the sdcard directory)
whereas ES only allows me to access /data/data/
did i do something wrong with the ES?
thanks again

I don't get why you think you can't access your /sdcard with Root Explorer, you can access EVERYTHING with it.
And with ES you have to go into the settings an enable the root explorer to be able to access everything.

MetalHead,
Thanks, it works! now i can access the directory path.
one last question, whenever i tried to edit /system/build.prop
it doesnt allow me to save it after editing, or replace the file with a new one.
i'm referring to this xda article which i cant reply since i'm a noob with less than 10 posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714298
please help me if you dont mind.
and as for the root explorer, i have no idea why it doesnt work. one touch of back button makes it "unfortunately root explorer has terminated"
thanks again

You have to mount the file system as read/write otherwise you can't edit anything in /system. Navigate to /system then hit menu >settings, then scroll down all the way to the root settings section and check the circle next to Mount File System. You will be able to edit the build.prop after doing that.
As far as Root Explorer FC'ing on you, I dunno man I've never had it crash on me once in the 3 years I've been using it. Try deleting it and re-installing it.

MetalHead, the ES trick works!
thanks a lot!
No prob
I've got a Huawei Ascend Y300 with stock firmware for Y300-0151. The android version is 4.1.1. The phone is NOT rooted.
I've been using the built-in "Notes" app but now have a small problem: I can't find where in storage the actual notes are kept!
I've tried using ES File Explorer to look through various folders but don't see anything. Perhaps the notes are stored in some
protected area that is accessible only if the phone is rooted? Does anyone know where/how to get to the notes?
The reason I'd like to access the notes directly is to transfer them to my PC so I can use a search function. The built-in app
doesn't have a search or even a share/transfer feature!
Are there any apps that will be able to access the notes without requiring root?
I dont think this requires root, if this mobile has phone storage than you should look in it not in sdcard if mot than lookout the data folder as well as documents or notes folder or maybe you can change directory in app...!

I've looked and looked, found nothing. So I copied over everything from the phone memory to a PC using ES File Explorer and also
with AirDroid. I then used a program called Agent Ransack to search the contents of all files for keywords I know I used in the saved notes.
Nothing turned up!
I tried searching for filenames as well, such as *.db in case the notes get stored in a database format. Still nothing.
I doubt the notes are compressed or encrypted. My buest guess is there is some protected hidden android storage that I cannot
access...and that it would require root.
Does anyone know exactly what folder and file extension the notes would be in for the Huaweii Y300?
So no luck yet? Have the same Problem

Hi,
on my Y300 notes are stored in internal memory under /data/data/com.android.notes/files if I remember, they're in SQLite format, the file is called note_pad.db.
So you need root access to copy from this folder ... I presume, you can't access browsing from the home folder.
Hope this helps
