Im doing a lot of experimenting with the Touchpad always having this sour taste in my mouth... as a guy that loves his iPad and uses Android also on a few devices, I got a TouchPad more as a curiosity than anything else, JUST the day before of the announcement HP would discontinue it.
I bought it in Hong Kong where there are no "refunds" or "price adjustments".. I felt stupid and ripped-off when i first turned my touchpad on the NEXT morning after buying it to read on it the news that the pad and WebOS were canned... duh... anyway...
Stuck into having to love the TouchPad... I ended up loving it really!
Im now running it at 1.9GHz 100% stable! This thing is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaast! Makes my iPad2 and Android phones I have look like a joke!
But whats really special is the realization that WebOS is truly extraordinary... by fer the best OS for a tablet, EVER! What a loss that that the best Tab EVER is discontinued and the most elegant and accomplished OS for a tablet has been sentenced to death. Nothing touches WebOS, nothing! And nothing touches the speed of the Touchpad at 1.9Ghz! Ill use and love the Touchpad for as long as I can, even with limited apps and an OS that is frozen in time. What a great loss, this is just so amazingly great! If HP had launched this a year ago and seriously wanted to make it a success, this would be for sure the iPad/ Android tablet killer... my a million miles..
This shoots me to my question... how do I backup locally apps Ive installed on the TouchPad? Its a breeze on Android to have copies of all my APKs on my laptop but, how do I do it on WebOS if I have to reset the device and re-install everything?
And, is there anything like an equivalent to a NanDroid backup to do an exact bit-by-bit copy of the whole device and restore it if needed?
I wonder if/when something goes wrong if I can do more than having to re-install everything, re-download all apps and re-configure the Tab from scratch or just have a way to recover from a backup?
Thanks a million guys!!
HP has a built-in cloud backup service under the settings tab in the launcher. I reset my 16 to sell it after I got a 32 and as soon as I logged into the 32 it asked me if I wanted to restore. It worked flawlessly. As far as local backups I'm afraid I can't help you out, but I question the necessity of them with the cloud system in place.

Yes, I know U can backup to HP's cloud backup service but its a matter of time till HP fot sure discontinues the service! Then what? I even wonder how to activate a new device by then.. its a matter of time till HP pulls the plug in everything & we're be in the dark..
+1 There should be an option for doing local backups!
We can't rely on "cloud services" as the DR plan. Especially when no one has a solid understanding of what it is, and how long it will last. Today, the built in backup services work, but what about tomorrow?
Been digging around the file structure, and that's one of the things I've been trying to find. Think I may need to dust off the laptop and try from that side.
Sent from my very "non-stock" TP.
There's an app called Save/Restore that is useful for backing up more than what the built-in Backup app does. I think it's a Preware app. It doesn't work for all apps, however, but is still worth a look.
You can also try the following commands. I got these from a Pre- backup thread at PreCentral, so it might be a bit off:
Code:
cd / (press enter)
rootfs_open -w (press enter)
cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/ (press enter)
cp -rf com.appyouwant.tobackup /media/internal/ (press enter)
reboot (press enter)
not sure if you can properly do a backup but you can make ur own ipks from ur touchpad

I have been trying out some backup tools to see which one is best.
One of the ones I tried was SPB Clone which at first glance looks excellent.
It can make a self extracting image of your PPC on an SD card in about 3 minutes. Very cool.
However.....WARNING !!!!!
I decided to try it to see if it really did backup and restore everyting.
The answer is, pretty much, yes. However, I didn't buy a copy because it costs...wait for it....$300....no....there is no decimal point missing !
I used the demo version...I mean...that's what a demo version is for, right ?
Now, my pocketpc keeps popping up with a message box that says, "This device was restored with a demo version of SPB Clone. Please buy a full version to get rid of this annoying message" (or words to that effect).
How annoying is that ?!!
I'm not sure this can be done, but why don't you probe the registry searching for that annoying message and luckily, if there, remove it. Or maybe try uninstalling Spb Clone will help.
It sounds far less painful than $300.
How to remove the nag screen in your case:
1. Open folder \Windows\StartUp in File Explorer.
2. Tap and Hold and select View All files.
3. Select bootupd.exe and select Cut from context menu.
4. Change to the root folder "\" and tap-n-hold on the empty space within folder view. Select "Paste" from context menu.
5. Soft reset.
6. Remove bootupd.exe from the root folder.
easy huh?
Hi people.
Was doing a little game play testing today when I re-downloaded hydro thunder to test it with the 360 controller. The thing is when I did it took like a minute to download and install. With the file size been 400mb I knew they was something up.
So as title says I went to control panel then internet options and deleted temporary files and history and bam 2.1gig extra. I find it silly that when you uninstall apps it keeps over half of the install size in the cache, stupid really.
And on another note when playing games on surface rt, playing with the 360 control removes all lag spikes.
Just did some browsing and maybe something else was involved. When I looked at the folder containing my temporary internet files, the largest was < 1MB. Nothing there looked like any remnants of an app. I will take a look at running the cleanup app, though. While nothing _should_ be left behind, I can easily believe that something would be left behind....

Yes I found it odd, do me a favour download something large in size. Uninstall it then reinstall , it will take minutes to reinstall. Something is definitely going on here.
When updating Store apps, you'll often get an old copy of the app left as well, for some reason (as in, sitting in the \Program Files\WindowsApps install location). Disk Cleanup may take care of that, though.

Ugh - owned and locked by "Trusted Installer" - bane of my existence when it comes to system files and such. Hoping I can get to it on the Surface, but haven't tried yet. I'm always wary of trying to change permissions like this just because of what could break.
It may be owned by TruestedInstaller, but it's writable by Adminstrator. Just alunch an Admin CMD or Powershell prompt, and you can delete stuff to year herat's content. If you want a GUI, here's one way: launch Notepad (fromt eh Admin prompt), then use File -> Open and treat the Open dialog as an Explorer window. Explorer itself will refuse to run as Admin; if you try, it will downgrade its own permissions.
I cannot even get into program files to check, It says i do not have the rite permissions . And i do not even know where to start to allow it?

Administrator prompt worked. However, looking through there on my Windows 8 work machine, I didn't see any leftover files (which is good). I haven't tried it on the Surface yet, but will try to do that later. Thanks for the tip.
hello fellow xda,
This is kinda my first post on xda and i just wanna share a way you could hide folders easily on your android device without download folder or file hiding tools plus, someone probably a nosy sister, brother girlfriend et.c. browsing your phone will think you have nothing to hide....
NOTE: i put NOOB on the title because some of you probably know this and someone with android knowledge would probably know this trick......BUT dat someone must be pretty serious with you to search for hidden folders and files.
OKAY ENOUGH RAMBLING HERE ARE THE STEPS........
1.) go to file manager on your android
2.) go to the folder you want to hide
3.) try renaming the folder with the new name starting with dot '.' e.g. you have a folder named "personal videos", rename it to ".personal videos"....
4.) tap OK or SAVE to make this change, and BAM! the folder is gone, you can check all your videos too.....those videos in that file are gone too.
5.) but nt to worry you can see those videos by going to file manager
6.) go to options(in some androids you'll go to settings in that file manager) you'll see the "SHOW HIDDEN FILES" option, TiCK it and go back
7.) there you have your folder (e.g ".personal videos" folder) back
8.) you can hide it again by going to settings or options in your file manager and UNTICKING or UNMARKING the "show hidden files" option......
NOTE: although not guaranteed, i still liked the idea that this way people will think you have nothing to hide than when you have a folder locking app, you can hide the app but people seems to know how to check for hidden apps nowadays ·............
i know you might know this process but please encourage me THANKS.
Upon login to the Google play store you may be wondering why, every time (and with a reliable WiFi connection), you get the message - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection to the server", "Please try again." etc.
Many 'fixes' have been released, such as...
Login via YouTube/Gmail
Check date and time..
Some of these work. BUT, this fix is the only one that fixes the problem related to the 'Freedom' app.
So, ask yourself... Do you/have you have/had the 'Freedom' app (The one that generates 'FreeCard' numbers for free in-app purchases. YES? This is the fix for you. NO? Sorry mate, you'll have to keep looking.
Anyway, enough blabbering on. Lets get on with this.
FIX/SOLUTION:
1. Ok, on your device, go to bit.ly/1rMwE2q in a browser. (e.g. Chrome)
2. Press yes, this file wont harm your device, but if you are worried, you can un-install the app after the fix.
3. Open the 'control panel' (by swiping down from the top of the screen)
4. Once the download has finished, press in and then hit install.
5. Once it has installed, press Open.
6. You're half way there now. Once, the app has opened, find the file called 'etc' and press it.
7. Once your in the 'etc' folder, at the top of your screen, press the "Mount R/W" button.
8. Now, find the file called "hosts" inside the "etc" file you are already in.
9. Press and hold the "hosts" file
10. Press "Delete".
11. Nearly there now. If you wish, you can now un-install Root Explorer.
12. Open GMAIL, and login. YOU ARE NOT DONE YET
13. Go to Settings>Google (Under Accounts)>Your account (e.g. [email protected])>Three dots in the top right corner>Remove/Delete account. (Press it) IT WILL NOT DELETE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT, DON'T WORRY!

I just found the folder. But thanks anyway. Here's the location for those who also need it:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp
Hi.. In Android 10, Whatsapp folder used to be in root folder (emulated/0), but in Android 11, it has moved to Android/media folder. The big problem it has is - everytime you wipe data to install a ROM, Whatsapp along with media needs to be backed up. Does someone know a workaround here so that WhatsApp has its folder in the root directory? Thanks.
I wouldn't call /sdcard (/storage/emulated/0) the root directory, but ok. Whether the whatsapp folder is placed directly in /sdcard or in /sdcard/Android/media doesn't make a difference as to whether you have to back it up, as it will be on the userdata partition in both cases.
how about my case, im using samsung android 11, and i clone whatsapp with the built-in app = dualapp, but the problem is i can't received a media file from other people like document, images, videos, etc. and cannot sending any files too from my device, i've checked the dualapp\android\media and there is no com.whatsapp folder inside. anyone can help me with this case?
thanks before.

I am in the same boat. I can no longer find the dual WhatsApp files, and that version is like a redhead stepchild, cannot add stickers, doesn't recognize file types, etc. All since Android 11 moved the dual app files "somewhere".

Same here, it happened this morning. I am having my exams and because of this I can't access my pdf notes anymore. All of this is so frustrating :/
Someone also got trouble with loading the "WhatsApp Images" Folder over a File Explorer?
When i wanna access it from several Apps like File Explorer or Backup Apps, it will load like endless, some minutes at least.
Have mor than 10 000 Pictures in it but before it loaded always immediately.
If i am in TWRP i can access the Folder but don't scroll down with the bar, just around 1/3 of the Page. Only if i scroll over the Display every File it will show me someting, otherwise it shows just Empty over some Files, like there would be a File Limitation?

Exactly the same here. Switched to Samsung android 11 3 weeks ago and since a few days Whatapp app backup (80mb) took an hour instead of less than 2 minutes. Quickly found out that WA folder had been moved and that it now takes 10-60 seconds to open WA images folder (9400 pics) instead of < 1sec at previous location. Yesterday I reinstalled WA and everything was placed back in the original folder (0/WhatsApp) and everything was fast again. But tonight (00:00) everything has been moved to Android/media/com.whatsapp and the backup of whatapp is already running for 50 minutes now. The status for a very long time is: "Prepairing google drive backup".
This is very frustrating and I don't understand how they can ruin this for so many people (see google store reviews).
I don't understand why one location is so much slower than another directory. Is exactly the same storage. Does it have to do with indexes? Who is going to offer a solution for this, Samsung or Whatsapp?
Google or WhatsApp have had to get a solution, but if the wan't?
Because i am using OnePlus, so we know that it shouldn't be a Mobile Phone Manufacturer issue.
Crazy that even the built in Backup won't work because i just use other ways like "FolderSync" or "Synology DS Cloud" Backup.
Even Built in File Explorer or such as "X-Plore" and whatever, won't load the Folder until there are gone some Minutes.
Can also just guess why, but Indexing should be done if it is.
Did also some other trys with a Folder which has just 5130 Pictures (copy of some Pictures).
Used "X-plore" to easy Move the Folder around.
- Move Picture Folder in "Android" Folder will work well but every of the 3 subfolder "data", "media", "obb" will get in trouble.
- Move Picture Folder into "data", it will take a longer Time, also "obb" Folder which is a kind faster.
- Move Picture into "media", it will moved immeaditly like usual at the Phone.
Access Picture Folder just under "Android" Folder it will work fine, but if you wanna Access this Folder under "data", "media" or "obb" you have to wait and enjoy the running circle symbol.
So is the question, what is different with all the subfolder under "Android", like they would have a Speed limit or additional encryption?
First you need to do a whole backup of your chat so that you can migrate the chat information from respectable whatsapp to Fouad Whatsapp.
I am also facing this problem yesterday when I upgrade my smartphone from android 10 to android 11. But after some research, I found the solution. Here are the complete details:
Whatsapp folder in android 11
For images
Android\media\com.whatsapp\WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Images
Guys, I'm using Samsung phone too and my WhatsApp media files is in a mess too since the location change a couple of months ago. Now I have media stores in these 2 folders, just like you guys:
1) Whatsapp/Media
2) Android/media/com.whatsapp/Whatsapp/Media (new location)
Now my issue is, I have photos back from year 2016. I can view it in Whatsapp chat (some of them can't locate anymore) but i can't find it in both the directories mentioned above. When I select 'view in gallery', and then i use MiXplorer to check the image location, it says: (refer to attached screenshots)
Path: content://com.whatsapp.provider.media/item (which i guess it is in obb folder)
How is this even possible? The image is not lost but it is not accessible by me anymore and I cant back it up. Due to this mess, I really want to tidy up my media files and move them into single location, presumably the new location but the missing files stop me from doing it. It's bugging me for a few months now

I found all my whatsapp media there since android 11 upgrade (Samsung M31)
All my files keep on /sdcard/WhatsApp/Media even on Android 11.
Some solution here about the Access Time from the Images Folder?
When i Access (does not matter which File Explorer or Backup Tool) then i have to wait over 10 Minutes and most of them still won't show any pictures. Of Coursee i have over 10'000 Files in it but at the old Location it took me just a few seconds.

When i Access (does not matter which File Explorer or Backup Tool) then i have to wait over 10 Minutes and most of them still won't show any pictures. Of Coursee i have over 10'000 Files in it but at the old Location it took me just a few seconds.

Click to collapse
Any OS has problems to deal with folders that contains millions of files.
Certainly, you need to clean the folder.
