Edit exe to move picture reference ?

Hi guys,
I would need a help in editing an exe.
I'm trying to change the reference to the associed pictures. The app is supposed to be installed in the Windows folder so the reference to the pictures is hardcoded in the exe (ex: \Windows\CMP_Button_On_Mask.png).
I would like to move the app to the storage card in order to free up some memory. If I launch the exe from the Storage Card, it works but it still looks for the pictures in the Windows directory. I would like to be able to change the reference to something like "CMP_Button_On_Mask.png" instead of "\Windows\CMP_Button_On_Mask.png" to be able to put the pictures in the same folder than the application.
If I try to hexedit the exe and to manually change the reference (visible as .\.W.i.n.d.o.w.s.\.C.M.P._.B.u.t.t.o.n._.O.n._.M.a.s.k...p.n.g), it seems to corrupt it and I cannot launch it anymore on the device.
I tried to unsign/resign the file before/after editing but the result seems to be the same.
Please help !

If a moderator is around, maybe you could move my post to "Development and Hacking" it will probably get more success

[Q] Has this happened to anyone else?

i switched roms acouple times today and this has happened one other time.
All my video files not the folders or subtitles or anything just the video files themselves have been deleted.
Using brilliant corners and bottle o smoke and bam they are gone...

all you have to do is make a no media file. basically make a new text doc on your computer and just save it as ".nomedia" You do not have to write anything in the file. This will tell the tablet not to delete any files out of this folder. put this file in every folder that has media items. I hope this helps.

Hmmm...I've never had that happen to me, but thanks for the tip fosser2

It's a known issue and easily fixed with the .nomedia file. Beware though that windows won't let you create such a file. I think most android file managers will allow you to create a file and rename it ".nomedia".

You can easily make this file form windows. Right-click on any explorer window and choose New>Text file. Then just rename it to .nomedia instead of NewTextDocument.txt or whatever the default is.
Scratch that. Windows says "type a file name" or something. Just use notepad++ as someone else mentioned...

Problem unlocking video in private folder

Hi,
As the title of this post says, I am having trouble unlocking some videos I put in the private folder in MXplayer. Each time I select a video and click in the option "unlock", the program tells me that the video will be moved to Public, and when I click "Move", the program do nothing. I want to free some space in my device without loosing access to my files. What can I do?

That happened to me recently. I will tell u what I did .Install Es file explorer then select to show hidden files & folders. In internal directory u see there is a mx player folder open it. There is . private named folder present open it. U can see there is some file present with extension .private now change them to mp4 & move them to desired location. Hope this helps.

Where did they move the file folder in WeChat 7.0.17 (Android version)?

Where did they move the file folder in WeChat 7.0.17? I need to find the folder where they saved all the video and audio files. It used to be in storage/emulated/0/tencent/MicroMsg/[long string of number]/video
But now can't see anything in the folder (yes, my phone is fully rooted). If anyone figured out where WeChat moved the folder to, please let me know. Thanks.

I finally figured out the file location.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.tencent.mm/MicroMsg/[long string of number]/video

It is possible to avoid folders (and files) auto creation? Unexpectedly, YES.

Dear friends,
for months I was struggling with the auto-created folders named LazyList and LOST.DIR
These are folders that are created automatically by the file system, but sometimes I have found, especially in the LOST.DIR folder, duplicated and previously deleted files, also big, very big ones.
Why a so great waste of storage?
So I wanted to get rid of that!
And after some "Guru meditations" I have found the trick to achieve it.
It is a very simple trick, that's related to the file system itself.
Since it is a rule that where there is a folder there cannot be a file with the same name, simply creating a file with a specified name will make it impossible, even to the system, to create a folder with the same name, and vice-versa.
So, if we want to get rid of the infamous folder LOST.DIR, simply delete it and create, a, even empty, file with the same name!
The file system will be forced to not create that folder, anymore!
Freedom to manage storage.
Man vs Filesystem: 1-0
Hope this will be useful to everyone that takes care of their storage

I must say I didn't believe it, so I tried to create a lost.dir folder and lost.dir file in the same directory on my computer.
And you were right!
Thanks for sharing!
