check the file permissions with "root browser" app.
the file should be readable to be viewed.
if not - and your phone is rooted - you can edit the file permissions with "root browser".
(maybe you can't edit the file permissions in the sdcard directory, so you have to move the file to /system/priv-apps, edit file permissions there and finally move the file back to the original location)

[Q] Built-in "Downloads" app

I'm running 2.3.4 stock.
If from the browser, I save a jpg, it gets saved to my SDCard in the
downloads directory. When I use the builtin "Downloads" app, it shows the jpg
and I can view it, delete it etc.
When I save an jpg from email ( K9 ) it also stores the file on my SDCard
in the downloads directory. However, the "Downloads" app does not show
it !
My question is why does the "downloads" app (see Android 2.3.4 guide page
55 for description ) not show all files? Other file managers show all files in the
downloads directory. I'd like to just use the built-in app to view my downloads...
It only shows downloads from the browser. Just like your computer. If you download a file or picture in outlook, that download doesn't show up in chrome under downloads.

According to the Android Users Guide, it should display items downloaded from
other applications... I can see multiple files on the SDCard downloads directory
however, the downloads app doesn't show all of them ???
From the Android 2.3.4 Users Guide Page 55
Files, applications, and other items you download in Browser, Gmail, or Email are
stored on your phone’s USB storage or SD card (depending on your model of phone).
You can use the Downloads application to view, reopen, or delete what you’ve
downloaded.
...
Downloaded files are stored in the download directory in your USB storage or SD
card. You can view and copy files from this directory when connected to a computer,
as described in “Connecting to a computer via USB” on page 67.
I read this as saying the "Downloads" app shows and manages files in the SDCard's downloads directory...
What is the .apk name for the download app? Is it even needed?
You should take this up with Google.

You should also update past 2.3.4 because most of the reason in having these phones is having the latest and greatest. Update to the latest and see if it fixes it. Then go from there.

its only for stuff downloaded through the browser, period. be it from the browser or apps that use the browser to download stuff. besides for the market, when you see that download arrow show up in the notification bar, itll show up in downloads. people write manuals and other sources of information, people make mistakes.

You need to open root explorer or open rom up with 7zip or winrar on computer and go to system/etc scroll all the way to the bottom and open up the volds. fstab file with text editor and scroll to the bottom of the page to the very last line and change the end of the last line from mmc1 to mmc2.. make sure if you open in root explorer you mount system to r/w before making the edit. Then save and close, then reboot. That will solve your issue.

Root Explorer comes in VERY handy. One of the big 3 (Titanium Backup & Rom Manager being the other 2).

[Q] Issue editing build.prop

I recently rooted my Inspire and loaded CM7.2 RC1 and I was just trying to increase my download speeds by editing the build.prop file. I'm using explorer v1.1 to get to the system folder and then editing the build.prop file using the text editor. When in explorer it says r/w and I can actually edit the file and save it but it never seems to actually save the changes even though it says it did. I tried using mount/system(rw/ro) to ensure that it was actually mounted but I am getting the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
ES file explorer
Hi, I use the es file explorer, when you open it up hit "menu" scroll to bottom and make sure both root settings boxes are checked, then restart app. You should be good to go.
I recommend ROM Toolbox. It has a root file explorer and many other tools which come in handy on a rooted phone.

i used snapchat holo edition with this.
Snapchat is corrupting the header of the image on the server. I thought that it might be doing it when you open the file, but it's doing it before it gets to the phone.

[Q] Turn off camera shutter sound

Any idea how to turn the camera's shutter sound off? I can't find it in the camera menu.

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.
you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.
On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?

Yeah, I even moved the files to other folders, and sounds still there.
I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.
Which files did you rename?

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!
Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg
Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?
i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?
Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?
Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"
that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too
It works perfect with Cataclysm 4.4.2 :good:
Can someone upload the modified camera apk ?
