Hey,
is it possible to download and install custom rom´s direct on my Transformer?
When I download a rom, I cant put them on the root of my SD card.
Is there a possibility to put files, direct on my Transformer, without my PC on the root of my SD card?
Greetings and thanks in advance

You can probsbly use terminal or a file manager.
The /sdcard is internal memory while your external memory card is at /Removable/MicroSD
Use a file manager to copy and paste/move the files or terminal to cp /sdcard/blah.zip /Removable/MicroSD/

Can not load map data from external storage~! I'm using papago X5. Since I can't move the folder to root directory, I just simply installed it from download folder. But then when I want to launch the apps, It says"Can not load map data from external storage~! "
I'm going to a new place which I never been there before. So I might need to use GPS. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Doesn't it just need the map data to be located on the root directory of the SD Card?
Can you move it to the root of the sd card using a pc?

Hey guys...
I need some help. I tried to root my phone, but when I searched for the update.zip file (the file was already in the sd card) to apply the update it didn't show up...
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks !

If by SD card you mean the card in the expansion memory slot, then I think that may be the cause of the problem. Try it with the update.zip in the root directory, or at least a folder on the root directory (ie not on the removable card).
Wondering if it is possible to move files I currently have saved on an old SD card into the internal memory on the phone temporarily... to then move them off internal memory back to my normal SD card.
I'd like to accomplish this just using my phone and with out using a computer to transfer files, is it possible?
Yes, it is.
How so? Can you please provide further instruction?

Hi !
You can easely do that, providing your device is rooted, with either Root Explorer or ES Explorer... pushing files from SDcard to system.
Cheers !

Make sure you have enough space to accommodate all the files in /sdcard (e.g. df /data). You can use file explorer such as ES File Explorer to copy the files to internal storage. If you have non-rooted phone, you can copy to /data/local/tmp.

remove stock files

Remove stock notification, alarm and ringtone files, and replace them with my own. To me that would be neat.

use any file manager which has root rights such as es file explorer
then you can copy/paste whatever you want from sdcard to internal storage
thanks

I transferred the SD card from my phone to the Shield and I have a couple of installers/APKs in there that I wanted to install. So I downloaded ES File Explorer, navigated to Storage/sdcard1/path/to/apks and when trying to install, I get a parsing error message. I can only install the apk if I copy it to internal storage. How do I get it to install from the sd card?

I've no clue why you weren't able to do it.
But i was able to do it without any hassle.
I've few APk's for Benchmarks, MXPlayer(Free version) & some test applications which i keep swapping using my SD Card.
I was able to browse them through ES File explorer & Install flawlessly.
Are you doing this for the Games ?
Most games(off late), need the respective libraries to be present. example: /media/obb

Same here, after/right before the latest update.
I'll probably try reformatting the sd card again. Mine went straight from my s3 to the Shield but really don't think that would have mattered since its still just a fat32 formatted sd card so its kind of weird for it to act like that inside the Shield.

Well i have the same problem i cant install apks using my external storage(microsd 64 gb) any solutions to this problem?
To clarify i clicked origin resource in the developers mode,even enable it i cant install apks from my nvidia shield
Parsing error fix!
2 solutions
1.) first make sure you format the SDcard with the device.
2.) if that doesnt work or can't simply use your pc or file explorer to copy the apk to devices internal memory this resolved my issues with Nvidia shield and Samsung note 2

Hi, yes you're right, more details:
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.1
Zip files was on micro SD card formatted in NTFS.
And what I tried with no success is to find teh file on sd card location.
So I test FAT? On SD Card?

That TWRP version is very old... but should be good enough for wiping.
How did you try to find the file "on sd card location"? Using "Select storage?" Or did you mount using the mount page? In which directory did you look? external_sd or whatever it's called?

In TWRP I choosed "Install" option and look for .zip files I copied. I looked in folder SDCARD and EXTERNAL_SDCARD located at root and I found nothing.
I didn't use the "mount" option.

Which folder did you put them into on the card?
My guess is that they are in that folder
Which rom.zip files btw?
Well... I try to developp a little bit more to get some help.
I installed in my micro SD formatted in EX FAT format and in the SD card formatted in FAT32 format the two zip files dowloaded here:
Download CM11.0
Download GAPPS
They are installed at the root of both cards, there is no other files or folder in it.
I start in TWRP and then click install icon and look for these files everywhere and found nothing.
When I cick to mount icon, I cannot mount the micro SD or the SD cards.
Could you help me?
Is it possible to install another version of TWRP if the system does'nt start anymore?

when you enter twrp you should press on install, then there is a tab that says choose storage press on that and choose sd card, then carry on as you have been doing. twrp doesn't automatically show things on your micro sd card
