I've got a Huawei Ascend Y300 with stock firmware for Y300-0151. The android version is 4.1.1. The phone is NOT rooted.
I've been using the built-in "Notes" app but now have a small problem: I can't find where in storage the actual notes are kept!
I've tried using ES File Explorer to look through various folders but don't see anything. Perhaps the notes are stored in some
protected area that is accessible only if the phone is rooted? Does anyone know where/how to get to the notes?
The reason I'd like to access the notes directly is to transfer them to my PC so I can use a search function. The built-in app
doesn't have a search or even a share/transfer feature!
Are there any apps that will be able to access the notes without requiring root?
I dont think this requires root, if this mobile has phone storage than you should look in it not in sdcard if mot than lookout the data folder as well as documents or notes folder or maybe you can change directory in app...!

I've looked and looked, found nothing. So I copied over everything from the phone memory to a PC using ES File Explorer and also
with AirDroid. I then used a program called Agent Ransack to search the contents of all files for keywords I know I used in the saved notes.
Nothing turned up!
I tried searching for filenames as well, such as *.db in case the notes get stored in a database format. Still nothing.
I doubt the notes are compressed or encrypted. My buest guess is there is some protected hidden android storage that I cannot
access...and that it would require root.
Does anyone know exactly what folder and file extension the notes would be in for the Huaweii Y300?
So no luck yet? Have the same Problem

Hi,
on my Y300 notes are stored in internal memory under /data/data/com.android.notes/files if I remember, they're in SQLite format, the file is called note_pad.db.
So you need root access to copy from this folder ... I presume, you can't access browsing from the home folder.
Hope this helps

I am using Astro file manager looking in /data and it is empty. I checked to make sure I can see hidden files (.file) I am looking in the folder from phone not sd card. I even tried to search for the specific file but it did not exist. The file I am looking for is "com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk" When the search completed it only found the backup of these files, not the ones that are currently being used.
I am still very new at this, so I'm sure it is operator error at some point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you can use Astro to do this. You're going to have to use something like Root Explorer.
That was the problem, Astro does not allow access to the system files.
Super Manager is free in the market and solved the issue. Thanks!

I just noticed a folder titled baidu on my Nexus 5 (/storage/emulated/o/baidu). In it there is a single file titled .cuid.
Can someone tell me what this folder and file are for? I checked my Nexus 7 (with stock 4.4 on it) and the folder and file exist on that too.
-EDIT- No, I haven't installed any 'Baidu' titled apps from playstore
Folder doesn't exist on mine...

Its for an app. But we don't know every folder by every app

Baidu is the biggest chinese portal, something like Google in the rest of the world,
in China Google is not accessible and they got this Baidu, maybe your phone was originally planned to be shipped in China
or some guy between Lg factory and you downloaded this app on your phone and forget to delete folder but only app...weird
Thanks for the replies, and I know who Baidu is (which is why I asked the question, as I never installed anything of theirs.)
Its weird that the file and folder are on my tablet too.

Same file here.
Yeah it is a strange file baidu.cuid, but I have it in a different folder: internal memory/baidu I also never installed a baidu app or anything. I did update my s3 with the new 4.3 update.
The question remains what is this file for?
MIUI Launcher/Theme
It's part of the MIUI launcher/theme. I have the same folder on the root of my sdcard (along w/ a 'tempdata' folder inside containing .dat and .db files). I got one of the .dat files to open with Notepad on my PC and could see it was MIUI. I installed the MIUI launcher awhile back - so this explains the orphaned dir for me. Hope this helps someone else looking.
I've got the same thing. It has one hidden file named .cuid and was last modified 3 days ago... I'm on a rooted Verizon M8.
I have it too.
What is the miui launcher or theme?
Mine was recently written to, so I'm worried. Anyone know what happens if this Baidu folder is deleted?
its not one, but many different apps/themes install it if not already in the phone. stop freaking out. if you dont like it, delete it. if it comes back, then its one of the apps that you are now using.
I made a nandroid backup and the deleted the folder. So far everything works fine. No difference. Didn't come back.

if its an app that's installed now, it wont come back until its used. so give it a full day or two, just in case.
Do you use ES File Explorer? I got that folder after downloading ES on my phone.

Don't know than. I know its used for cache files in some way. Other than that, I have no clue.
I have it too, never noticed it before. Only shows up in ES, not on the PC. Strange...
Have you installed wechat, I know that creates the folder on my device.

Nope. I literally have a select few apps on my phone
Is there any app which provides details as which folders are created by which apps? AFAIK sdmaid can remove folders associated with apps but it won't show which folders are related to a particualar app. Might be useful before deleting any folder.
Even I had that baidu folder.. I deleted it just now.. No idea which app created it
A Google search returns that it's competing google when it comes to search engines..
As I transfer files from my computer (Win7) to phone (Z Ultra, Lollipop stock) files with .jpg extension are automatically being renamed as .jpeg. I don't understand why as Android apps seem to struggle with jpeg. I'm using ES Explorer's remote manager to transfer but I don't think that is the issue as I recall similar patter when done with USB cable some weeks ago. Is there a setting or other easy fix?
How do you use ES to transfer? FTP? Also the format .jpg is the same as .jpeg, so i don't see the problem

Remote Manager function. Android seems have to issues with .jpeg extension, some apps don't recognize as .jpg. For example, book Moon+ Reader for book covers.

These require installation on PC which I usually do not have permission to do. It's annoying in any case. These apps also want too much access to personal info like contacts and call logs, and require signing up to accounts.
I need the PC side to be as network location/drive or accessed from browser. No software, accounts, etc.
I tested over USB cable directly and it doesn't change the extension so it is ES Explorer that is doing it.

Download Airdroid from play store.... Then ask me what to do...
Use superbeam
My brother has emailed ES Explorer, hopefully they will fix the issue. ES Explorer is otherwise perfect.
Airdroid- transferred a file over browser interface. Drag & drop not supported (I have latest Firefox), can't select folders (only files), can't upload to SD card (only internal memory).
Superbeam- even worse than Airdroid, need to buy Pro version so I can change the directory!
And I should add Shareit was the worst. It overwrites the hotspot setting and creates an unsecured connection. Not only annoying, very unsafe!

Hello,
I have a metronome app which uses .wav files which are stored in a subdirectory of /data/data/[app name]. Android 6.0.1, Oneplus 3.
Now I wanted to modify these wav files with Wavelab and put them back into place (via ES File Explorer in root mode).
That worked, BUT the owner of the files is now "root", and the app won't play the files anymore.
How can I either reset the file owner or prevent the ownership from changing??
Does no one answer because this problem isn't solvable?
Or is it because my question unmasks me as noobish??
Why not copy the wav files to sdcard then modify it?

Hahaha, you obviously don't understand what my problem is (although I think I described it clearly). It's no problem to copy the files elsewhere and modify them; it's when I copy them back into the original directory via root explorer that the file owner gets changed to "root" which makes them inaccessible to the metronome app.

i think you can't do anything about it since its in "/data"
What about manually changing the owner back to the correct value after copying?
No, that isn't possible. Only owner selectable is "root".

Then the limit is in your file manager or root app, just change them

Hi All,
Just got my pixel tab and I need to push some config files in to Kodi's app data folder but am getting permission denied and cant use any file explorers on the tab to copy, same issue.
Have googled a bit and tried some of the workarounds, set my file explorers to allow system modifications under the app info page and still no dice.
Anyone have a working workaround for this? I primarily bought this thing to run Kodi on, so if I cant do something as simple as this with it... I wont be happy.
TIA
EDIT: Managed to use Kodi's internal file explorer to copy the config files, but question still stands if anyone has an answer, sure I will need to do something similar in the future.

Unless you're rooted, the only app that can access an app's data folder is the app (Kodi in this case).
