Hey all, I have dev mode active, and I only did it so I can get just ONE wallpaper from the LG TV so I can use it for my desktop. It's from a Korean artist. I figured that now I can access the file system through WebOS Dev Manager, that I could find the app and just look through the folders for the app and download them, but I simply cannot find the folder for this app!
Would anyone happen to know where it could be, or how I could download these photos? Thanks!

Hi all,
Loving my Optimus 3D but can't seem to work out how to rename files and folders. I know once you have taken a photo it gives you the option to Rename, but I was wondering how I could go back and rename photos and video files, and folders from before (without connecting to my computer). Anyone know?
Also can you create folders within the phone for content? And can you organize content in the Applications section, e.g. sorting Downloads in order or placing them in different categories.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

To rename files and folders and create folders on your phone you'd have to have an explorer app that allows you to browse your filesystem. I'm not aware of any browser apps that don't require root (ie. Astro or Root Explorer) but then again, I've never had the need for one and always had my phones rooted.
You might wanna be carefull when renaming folders and files though.
I don't think the standard launcher allows changing the contents of the applications drawer.
Thanks for the response, appreciate it. At the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do you mean when you say having your phone rooted? I'm total new to smart phones and always just had an old simple mobile.
Also, is the Optimus 3D like the iPhone in that you need to hack it to install apps downloaded from your PC for free or can you install any apps via PC
get "estrongs file explorer". it's free and does many many many more amazing things than just letting you rename files without root requirement.

Rooting a phone basically gets you super access, kind of like having an administrator account on Windows. It comes in handy for example when you want to use custom roms, get complete file access, use screenshot tools etc.
And an Android phone is in no way an iPhone when it comes to installing apps. There's an option that when turned on allows the installation of apps you didn't get from the Market (it's in the Application section of your options menu). Presuming you only use free programs you downloaded you can just put the .apk file on your internal or external sd card and install it, either by using a file browser (such as the mentioned Estrong) to find the apk or using a separate app installer which you can download from the Market.
Awesome, thanks for the reply really appreciate it, and I actually understand it now.
So if I downloaded and installed an app or game from the internet for free, that usually had to be bought on the Android market or from Gameloft for example, could you get in trouble or banned/blocked in any way?
Sorry if this is a noob/inappropriate question
Cheers
no. google actiually lets you do what you want with your device.
Awesome, good to know. I'm really wanting the Gangstar games from gameloft but they aren't available to purchase via Gameloft yet. I can download the pirated versions and install them, but would Gameloft cause any problems when I did so or would I always have to play in airplane mode?
Most pirated software works just like the original version, just check if there's any installation instructions. The biggest disadvantage in my opinion is not being able to update pirated software through the Market.
You can use Polaris Office included in the phone as file explorer for all the naming, copying etc.. The name is a bit misleading
Nice, I didn't know that Polaris was a glorified file browser. Works great for viewing, editing and removing files and folders.
So, to the topicstarter, this is all you need to do the things you want. You can edit your filesystem and browse to your downloaded apps to install them (for example create a map called DownloadedApps, connect your phone to your pc, copy any downloaded apps to the map you created, disconnect, use Polaris to browse to the DownloadedApps map and click on any app you want to install).
If you want to rename a file or folder just long press on it and you'll be presented with all the options you need.
Yeah, I just had a play around with it, looks and works really good. Thanks for all the help folks much appreciated.
PS - If anyone could provide instructions and a link on how to install the Gangstar games (hereby showing me how to install ripped games at the same time) I would very much appreciate it. Been having no luck getting it to work
Anyone know how to view JPS/MPO files in 3D without going into gallery first?
I use TwinPic to view the public gallery as well as sharing 3D photos between my brother (has O3D too), if we open any pic that it downloads it give a list of apps to open it in, if I choose the Gallery it opens in 2D and no option to change to 3D (no options at all like "share" etc, just zoom)
the only way I've found to view photos in 3D is to do it by going in to the gallery app, but most photos don't show up so I have to run the 3rd party app SDRescan to get them to show (very poor and time consuming, especially since I have a 32Gb card in that's nearly full!)
Users of the HTC Evo 3D just click a photo, it downloads and displays in 3D without them having to leave the app they are in (web browser or TwinPic) and they don't have to rescan the internal memory either!
The same problem faced me, I solved it by the following way:
Move all files from:
sdcard/download/twin-pic
To:
sdcard/twin-pic
Then, you will see all pictures in the gallery (It will do scanning automatically).
Maybe we have to ask the developer to allow us to choose the downloaded images location so may that solves the problem.
If you use Polaris Office or another file browser you can just browse to the folder where you stored the images and they open in the image viewer where you can enable 3D.

so no way to view straight away within the app like Evo 3D users can do?
we shouldn't have to move all photos to another folder
we shouldn't have to open up file explorer apps (Astro doesn't work btw, nor does any other that asks what app to open it in, if I choose the stock "Gallery" there's no 3D option, no share option etc, just zoom)
I feel stupid to ask this!
Where are the pictures that I see in the photo gallery located! All I see in my astro file manager are the pictures I took with the camera but I can't find all the other albums that are in the gallery!
I have a g2x on 2.3.3 and I am not rooted!
Thank you for your help!!!
Everything Ive got is in mnt/sdcard/DCIM. Not sure where else they could be. Some are in a folder related to whatever photo app I used, or if its a picture for an app, its usually in a folder related to said app. At least thats what QuickPic says.
Ah! Maybe you could download the QuickPic app and it will show you all your file extensions?
I wish than I would find them! Quick pic does not find the albums that are in my gallery. I want to copy all pi tires in the main dcmi pi tire album! That's why I am asking.
Thank you for trying

Different apps store pictures in different locations. i.e. - there is a /pictures folder, /mnt/sdcard/dccim has pictures, and there is a /camera folder on my sd card as well.
The gallery scans all media on your phone, and then shows it in the app itself. I would try to figure out what application the gallery is pulling that picture from, and that might help you locate it on the phone.

Thats why I thought quickpic would be a good app. It tells you the file path under the albums, making it easier to pull them up on the phone when looking through your SD card on a computer or whatever.
I guess I dont understand the question
Hello everyone. I'm coming from the Infinity forums here at XDA. I jumped ship on that thing. Loving this Sammy Tab. Does anyone know how to stop or remove the tab from grabbing photos from my computer? As soon as I hit the gallery Icon it grabbed my pics. Am on Windows 7 ultimate. So I went to my media player and disabled share with other devices but alas it still finds the pictures. Then when I go to the folder to delete it/them all I get is a select file/folder option or download option. No delete option. So how do I stop and remove this folder? Thanks. Sorry if there is a thread for this already. I searched but couldn't find anything. Maybe I didn't write it out right in the search:silly:
Anyway, Thanks in advance

The Note is finding pictures that you windows pc is sharing to your network. It allows you to view them but isn't downloading them unless you hit the download button.
You can remove the network items from the view this way: Menu (from main gallery view not from withing the "folder" of pictures you want to remove) -> View By -> Content in device

There's only one problem with this method -- it doesn't stop it permanently. Every time you re-load the gallery app, it re-appears. I find it totally annoying, honestly, and wish there was a permanent way to turn it off. I leave media sharing on my Win7 PC turned on because I use apps that allow me to browse shared media for streaming/etc. I want to be able to see those photos when I want them, but not all the time, and certainly not every time I load up the gallery app.
If the app permitted you to browse network-shared media when YOU want, and could sort it in a useful way (folders, maybe?) ... then the feature would be useful. Otherwise, for me, the hundreds and hundreds of raw digital photos being cataloged each time I load the app is just plain obnoxious.
Thankfully, thus far, this is only one of a very very few annoyances with the Note 10.1! And there's always one solution -- use a different picture/media viewing app .
Nice. Thanks guys. quickpic here I come
