[Q] Changing the default SD explorer - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you insert a microSD card into the tablet itself, a notification icon comes up, from which you can launch the built in file explorer. Is there some way I can change the file explorer launched in this manner? I realize its probably a long shot, but I thought I'd at least give it a try.
Thanks in advance!

Ozone and Chome-Weekday?

How do I add the day of the week to my Chome configured Sliding Panel + Media home screen?
Anybody wanna walk me through it, please?
I found HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml in Windows/Application Data/Home, copied it to my PC desktop, changed the file extension to .txt, and looked, but couldn't find the line to change, or how exactly to change it to show the day of the week.
Then I just rename it back, drop it on my SD card, and overwrite it with Total Commander, right?
Thanks a ton.

[REQ] Pasting in Explorer

To paste something in Explorer, you must scroll down to the bottom of the screen and then try to long tap the white space in between the last item in explorer and the black bar with the two soft keys.
I know that for my kaiser, there was a tweak available to make the 'Paste' item appear in any long press menu in explorer. This made it possible to paste an item even if you long pressed on another item.
I can't remember how this tweak was called. I searched a couple of times but I can't seem to find the right keywords.
Is this available for the HD2 and where can I find this tweak?
Help is greatly appreciated. I can't get my fat fingers in the small white space sometimes. Also comes in handy when drunk.
+1
would be great
dont wanna install totalcommander, just want it with integrated one.
thanks,

Or you could just open the menu and select paste from there
(menu, edit, paste - you may need to scroll the menu to get to edit)
Hey thanks for the tip!
I sometimes don't notice these scrolling menu's. In coreplayer I also forget to scroll when I look for the Blank Screen option. Then I think the option is not there enymore

Yeah - the scrollbars on menus aren't really noticable. Ah well
Does anybody know if there is a way to mark multiple files in the explorer? just works for me as long as the folder has less files than a screen full. otherwise only scrolling works :-(

Very good Question! I have the same problem.
Has anyone an answer?
Please?
It's not possible in the default file explorer I'm afraid. You either want a 3rd party file explorer like total command or resco, or try the file explorer extension here...

I'm not sure if it does actually give you the ability to multi-select, but it's worth a look anyway
@johncmolyneux
Thank you,
but it does not work for me.
Or i don´t know how.
Is here any developer, who can make that:
-you tab and hold any file in explorer
-after one second the file will be maked
-then you have another second to begin to drive your finger over the other files you want to mark
-after your finger stops, the box pops up, where you have the choice to copy, delete,...
Is it possible to program it ???
Excuse me for my english. I hope it is understandable.

The file explorer extensions only add to the existing functionality of the app. What you're asking for is a change to what's already there. You need to start looking at 3rd party apps. Resco Explorer is probably the most popular, but it's not free. Total Commander is another popular one, and that is free. Google can point you at both of them.
Good luck mate.
Hi,
Resco Explorer works.
ThankYou.
it still is a littlebit strange in file explorer. lets say you have 3 or 4 files in your folder then its easy to select all the files because the directory isn't scrolling, but when there are too many files to show on one (portrait) page then you can't select mutiple files because the page is now scrolling. strange...

[Q] Droid Incredible - Installed SkyRaider 2.5.2, Cannot set ringtones from SD card

Hello All,
Just recently rooted/forever'd/upgraded radio/installed SkyRaider 2.5.2 -- thanks to all who replied to the thread over on Droid development.
I've been tinkering around with SkyRaider (Vanilla). For the most part I really dig the OS, although for some reason I find myself really missing Sense, i.e. the big clock at the top of the screen, etc. But that's another issue. I may switch to the Sense version and give it a go.
My main issue right now is since upgrading the OS, when I go to set ringtones I do not have the tones on my sd card as an option. I double-checked with Astro file manager and found all the tones to be right there just as before and they play on the phone just fine when accessed from there (the path to get to them is sd card/media/audio/ringtones), but I cannot seem to find a way to set them as ringtones/SMS alerts/etc.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone have a fix?
Would be much appreciated.
Bump.
Anyone?
Nevermind.
After about 24 hours, they are suddenly accessible again.
Weird....

[Q] Camera save file location change possible?

I recall this was changeable on my wife's Incredible, but I've looked all over on the Transformer and couldn't find the setting.
I'd like to change the save file location for the default camera and Retro Camera+ to use my microSD card.
Is this possible?
I have not found a way yet. I am also interested in doing this.
I tried deleting the DCIM folder in /sdcard and making on on /Removeable/MicroSD but no joy.

picture folder widget

Would love to get one that I could set on a sceen to take me to the picture folder I want to view..
and or the folder where I have video's..
I want to use it for meetings.. so when I go in to one and show pictures of our production, I dont have to go in to Gallary and
let everyone see whats in there..
What would be perfect is a full screen of this widgets linking me to the sub-directries that I have setup with different artwork of different Clients..
I have been looking at different wiget programs but none have this ability as yet,well not that I have worked out..
Anyone found one or got any tips on this?

One option is to have a shortcut Folder set on your screen that launches a file manager and takes you directly to that folder.
The free app ES File Explorer will allow you to create a shortcut.
1. Install ES File Explorer.
2. Open the app and navigate to the folder you want to create as a shortcut.
3. Press & Hold on the folder, from the menu that pops up select 'Shortcut'.
4. Quit the app and when you go back to the last Home Screen you were on, providing there is enough space you will now notice a new icon with the title of the folder you selected.
From now on whenever you wish to show your clients the material simply click on the folder icon on your Home Screen and it will take you directly to ES File Explorer the folder with all the contents shown.
This last bit is important......
When you select the first item you will notice a small window will pop up asking you if you wish to choose ES File Explorer or the Gallery app to display your material... Choose ES File Explorer.
The reason is if you choose Gallery it will only display that one single item and you have to go back to ES File Explorer to show the next and so on....
By instead choosing ES File Explorer as the method to display the material it instead shows you not only the material but as the bottom you will also notice a small thumbnail of each of the pictures.
To display a different picture either swipe left/right or tap on the thumbnail.
Job done....
thanks Beards,
great advice..
I am using it plus Android picture frame.. that lets me set up 4 3x3 widgets that load into the file system as well..
plus yours.. gives me a neat screen of fast get too's for client visits..
which in my case can be up to 6-8 in a big day..
