Hi all!
I need to backup my downloaded data under /android/data/ folder. But when i open explorer on my PC, i cant see anything under that folder, while i can see those data using root explorer.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
BTW: i cant see any picture under folder screenshot ER too!
Are you sure they're not empty? IV found sometimes the.files don't show up with this MTP. reboot your XOOM and try again.

open the zip on the phone there should be 2 files put them in system/lib/hw directory using root explorer or a program like it
hope it works for you like it did for me
Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.
Also, you say there should be 2 files but there is only 1 in the zip file.
Trying this now...

Yes. Says "hw permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only".
Also, when I extract it on the phone there is only 1 file. gps.spade.so.

Do you see the mount rw button at top and did you extract files first

I see the button but when I press it, it doesnt change. I copied the zip file to the SD card and extracted it there.
Found a thread that told how to make the system folder r/w.
Open terminal and type:
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Qbills, copied the file over and I must say I think it works!
I am actually getting a GPS lock and with my case still on. I could NEVER get a lock with the case on and only occasionally with the case off.
Thanks!
Holy cow! Just got a lock in the house. It's like a miracle.

im glad to hear it hope it keeps working
That change took my GPS offline - it wont even turn on, so it didn't work for me. Thanks for posting though - I'm trying everything I can to get GPS running again

reflash your radio? It worked for me to get the gps icon back but as I'm in the house I don't know if it works to get me lock yet

yeah i know sometimes it does i just tried it again and it took awhile but for the most part it locks in about 2min or less where as before it wouldnt lock at all but i know what u r saying about the 20min
Ill try that when I get back to my computer. Also, has anyone tried a reboot after applying this file? I had to reinstall maps since navigation wouldn't open.

I installed root explorer too but i cant get the system file
I can't recall if root explorer has the option to set the home folder (phone is off, can't see), but it's easy enough, no matter what your home folder is. at the top, if there is a "parent" folder, you will see an unnamed folder, called "..."
that is your place to go "one folder up"
example:
/ is your main folder that contains all other data and folders in your phone.
/system is your system folder.
if you see something like this:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
then you are browsing files on your sd card.
let's say you have these folders on your sd card as you browse using root explore:
()...
()adobe
()ebooks
()Titanium
click on the ()... to go up to the next folder. when you reach the main root, you'll see something like this (not exact):
()cache
()data
()mnt
()sys
()system
I can't make it any simpler to find than that. good luck...
Is there a safe way using root explorer or terminal emulator to replace these folders.
I deodexed them and want to swap em out but dont have my laptop or adb at the moment

I use ES Explorer, it's free, and if you give it root access via settings, you can easily swap out any ssytem folder including the ones you're talking about, just back them up first
edit: to do that just give it root access, then R/W access, navigate to your /system folder, copy the ones you want to replace, paste them on your SD card, then replace them using the same method with the ones you have elsewhere, should work fine.
I use root explorer. have for awhile and normally dont have issues manually adding apks and suchbin system but on my note 10.1 i backed up system/app and system/framework and then copied over new folders and fixed permissions and rebooted and got stuck at samsung splash screen ?

Then one of your "new" files is bad, restore your old ones and try one folder at a time.

I didnt think system app or framework would effect boot?

Seems like maybe system app folder is causing it. I fixed permissions and cleared caches and still just splash? Cant see why an app would cause this. ..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
i think stuck in logo / splash screen doesn't mean it stuck in boot or boot-loop.
it could be entered to the system but can't display the home screen. if only it can connect to adb and run adb logcat you will able to see whether the loop is after the sytem actually run or not.
Hay guys i just flashed AOKP's rom after backing my IMEI
When I plugged my phone to my computer to move some files, only two folders showed up. "Pictures" and "DCIM"
The computer gives an error that says "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" in the main folder but when I go to "pictures" I can create a new folder with ease.
I can still move files into my phone but cant delete/move any other folders
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but the AOKP rom I flashed does not come with the "myfile" app where you can browse your sdcard (which im fine with because i have other apps that can)
Any way to fix this problem?
Any ideas?

Maybe its a permissions issue? Maybe reboot into recovery and goto "fix permissions"?
Nope didnt work =(
The only think i could think of is Odin back to stock and reroot and unlock bootloader.
Zzz. Kk. Was hoping to avoid that. I'll give it a try. Thanks

Mine has done that as well. I'm not sure why. For instance, the pictures folder shows up but it is empty. ES File Explorer can find them on the phone, but windows can't. Same thing with Titanium Backup.
Changing USB ports randomly seemed to help Titanium backup, but my pictures are still invisible.
So at first my pictures don't show up in Windows, but if I create a new folder from Windows in the pictures folder they show up. Its like its not refreshing, but even if I unplug/replug it doesn't refresh. Its weird.
I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

how to i enter in my phone's system dir using command line??
what commands to enter?
thankfully i am able to atleast see files and folders in my phone's system using http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Why would you enter in your system dir.
Btw now that you have access to your phone, download rootexplorer or es file explorer and you'll have access to /data, /system and more

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot
problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
Peace \/
