Hello Friends . I'm here to give a small guide to Save your apk files from Google Play Store
I Hope , this thread is important for you
Method 1 :-
1.Install OI File Explorer from Google Play Store
2.Install SaveAPK from Google Play Store
3.Run SaveAPK and select the application(apk) you want to save, then select the directory to store the apk (on SD card)
Downloads:-
OI File Explorer :- Click Here !!
SaveAPK :- Click Here !!
By the way ... you can also use your favorite file manager
Method 2 :-
1.Install Astro File Manager from Google Play Store
2.Start Astro File Manager then select Application Backup, backup the applications and the apk files will be store in backups/ directory on SD card.
Download Links :-

In this line of thought you can also use Titanium Backup, the catch is that it needs root.

2. Open com.android.providers.media package
3. Open albumthumbs
4. Delete the thumbnails.
5. Start the media player (Now Thumbnail cache will be re-created from scratch).

Recently bought one plus one in India , was trying to customize the ringtone by using mp3 songs. But read in one of the forum that need to copy mp3 file in Ringtone folder and you will be able to see it in system ringtone's list.
But in my case the ringtones folder is in
/system/media/audio/ringtones
which is not allowing me to add any files , since do not have permission to write on this folder.
Please advice..
Is this the right folder to copy the desired mp3 file or have to copy somewhere else.?
If this is the right folder, how to set the permission to copy any files.
Following are few details about my phone
Android versio
4.4.4
model A0001
cyanogen OS 11
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers !!

What message are you getting when trying to add the files and what are you using to try and do so? I can copy and paste an mp3 to the folder using es file explorer, changing the mp3's permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot and you can select it from the settings>sound>ringtones menu. You should be able to just set an mp3 from other programs, like shuttle music player, just click on the 3 dot menu on a track and you have an option to set as phone ringtone.
The file path you should be using is /sdcard/ringtones. The other path you are trying to copy them into needs root permissions to write, as that is the system ringtones folder. If you are rooted, then you would be able to write them in there.

For CM12 users of one plus one.....using rooted phones, you can install "ES file explorer " aap there from you can r ringtone of your phone by the music player of this aap without any problem....the music player lie in the option list of es file explorer.
Hide Your Videos & Images from Gallery without a Hider app
just use ur File manager (don't use default phone file manager)
use "ES file explorer" or other apps
its very simple trick
just rename the file's Extension
if ; "Abcd.mp4"
rename to "Abcd" (just clear the .mp4 extension)
then you can make the file invicible by rename the file to ( .abcd ) add a dot infront of the name
You can play the video - long press the file
click->open As->video
Hi,
ES File Explorer behaves in a strange way with Android task switching : when you open a file with ES File Explorer, it shows up inside ES File Explorer window instead of showing up in a separate window like any other app do.
I have joint a screenshot of the problem: you can see that ES File Explorer is opening the app (Doninn app here, but it is valid for any app, even stock Android app, like Gallery ) inside its own ES File Explorer window, instead of just opening the corresponding app in a different window. Here the .m4a music file is opened inside ES File Explore.
The current behavior is seriously limiting the possibilities of ES FIle Explorer: how can I browse to another file .m4a file while listening to the 1st .m4a app?
Best regards, Chris
Can anyone with ES File Explorer installed, check if they have the same behavior?
just open any file from ES File Explorer and take a screenshot of Android task switching.
