Just want to ask, because I can't find some folders when I connect my phone to the PC, like the screenshot folder or obb files in my internal memory, however when I'm using file commander it's there.

1. I recently got my ATT Tilt and have been loading it up with some great apps. I noticed that in File Explorer there are some folders/files I cannot find. For instance, I have no idea where Java is installed. Does anyone know where the root folder for this is? Does File Explorer not allow you to search some files/folders? Would something like Resco Explorer be a better option or does it only have a better UI.
2. The Tilt has about 150mb of internal ROM but I have a 2Gb microSD card installed. I have several Java games in the form of .jar files that I have copied onto my SD card. When running these .Jar files, the games are unzipped somewhere onto my device. However, I have no idea where they are installed. I want to make it so that the .jar files are unzipped onto my memory card so that I have more storage space available for games and don't clog up my internal ROM. Does anyone know how to do this?
Generally speaking, if you want to see all folders in your system, you can always connect to your comp using activesync, make sure your PC file explorer SHOWS hidden files, mark the hidden PPC folders and in properties uncheck HIDDEN..
now you'll be able to see all folders in your PPC file explorer.
I use total commander, it can be used as a more complete "file explorer" and a registry editor.
the java midlets are probably installed where ever the java emulator is located, so i would just suggest installing a java emulator to the storage card and use it instead of the one located in the internal memory.
How can I do to move files from the folder windows in memory of the PDA. In the folder windows there are files (. Txt. Bmp, etc ...) I can not move them because they are residing in ROM. I tried with SKTOOL but not move them. How can I do?
you can't delete or move which is pretty much just a copy plus delete
files which are located inside the rom of the device
but you can copy them using total commander
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?

I can't. Using PC, I can't see any root folder. Only the downloads folder, tmp, Video, media folder, ...
Why do the phone recognize my internal storage as sdcard0? This tends to lead to some problems when locating files in recovery.
Is there a way to make sure extraneous files, such as downloads, stay only on the sd card under sdcard?
Sometimes when placing a file on the sdcard from USB-to-PC connection, I navigated to the root folder using a file explorer, and tap sdcard, only to find it's not there. Instead of I have to home-->storage-->sdcard1.
Can anyone explain what exactly is going on in this case?? Or if anyone found a way to consolidate the folders, how can I do it??
Thank you.

The storage isn't extended, it's two separate file spaces. Your internal memory is reported as an internal SD card (sdcard0) and your SD Card is reported as an external SD (sdcard1)

If you download the Motorola USB Device Manager then in my computer your device will be recognised with internal and external storage available, all folders under these will be clearly visable and you shouldn't have any issues transferring data between the two.
Cheers
I have that manager and it works well, but I would like the folder "sdcard" in the home to link me to the sdcard1 and not sdcard0. Right now the "symlink" in root browser points there. Anyway to change that?
I have added an SD card for a friend's G7 Power, however, now when I plug it into the computer and select file transfer, it only shows the SD card and he has some photos in the internal storage that we can't get it out of the phone (they are sitll visible on the Photo app). I found an older thread with similar issue on a Moto G4. The answer at the time was this is an known issue and there's no fix yet. Is this fixed on the G7 Power? Thanks.
I don't have this phone but a way I would try is opening up the gallery app and then looking at the photos details and see if it gives a location
I would then connect phone to PC and do an adb pull of the file/folder
Eg adb pull location of file
Google adb guldes if you have never used adb before & you need to download the adb files
You can also try using total commander file browser and going to the file system root directory and then selecting storage folder
It will then list the available storage folders but if sd card is mounted as Internal storage it might combine the internal storage and sd card into one virtual directory

I tried opening the photos in the Google Photo app, it doesn't show the files' location. I'll try it with the the OnePlus gallery app next time he brings over the phone.
As for using total commander, does it work if his phone is not rooted? With ES Files explorer I can only see the SD card folders.

Most photo apps should tell you the photo location on the device in its details or more information section if you long press the image
You don't need root access to access the root directory
You can probably do it with es file explorer too but I don't use it
You just need to keep going up a level until you reach the root location - with total commander there's a folder on the main menu for root directory
You only need root to access the data partition or to modify files in the root or system partition
All you need is access the storage folder which will then list all available drives be that physical or virtual
