I recently rooted my droid eris and installed the sense-able2.0 custom rom. I was just wondering if I could delete the zip files out of the root directory after they are installed?

I want to create a settings file for my app which I store in the internal memory. I am wondering if this file will be deleted when the user updates the app to a newer version.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo as the title states, I'm an idiot and delted everything off of my SD card. The idiot part comes from me getting all gitty about the 2.1 v3 update, not thinking about the pictures and videos that I didn't back up (my music and ROMs already were backed up) and deleting my SD card purposely to get rid of all the old, unneccesary files and folders. Anyways, is there anyway to get these old files back? I've seen another post about a file recovery program but it wasn't very specific.
View 10 Replies View RelatedCan anybody advice what is the recommended directory to store files generated by your application: audio files, video files or some images.
If the phone contains SD card, it is clear that files should be saved there, but if there is no any external storage. where would you recommend to save to?
Is there a program out there that lets you access the root directory on the phone from Windows to view, move, delete and copy files?

It seems to be a contradiction in docs:
To write to a file, call Context.openFileOutput() with the name and path.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#files
The name of the file to open; can not contain path separators.
[url]
And when I call
this.openFileOutput("foo/bar.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File foo/bar.txt contains a path separator
So how do I create file in subfolder?
I installed the update manually as I was tired of waiting for it to come. Can I still root following the methods in stickies ?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am updating an app i developed so that it downloads xml files it needs for content management. the files download successfully to the emulator but are not placed in the /files directory that openFileInput() is attempting to read from. i am admittedly unsure as to the proper overall solution here - app originally used packaged XML and was fed to an XMLPullParser - but i cant even get as far as attempting to parse new XML at present because my app cant find the new file sitting in /data/data/[myApp]/ and not /data/data/ [myApp]/files and i cant figure out how to get it in there. the download doesnt work at all if i add that folder to path.e.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know if there's a way to write files into the main directory just before the system shutdown, something like this:
End all processes (-> unmount disks?) -> mount /sdcard rw and / rw -> copy files from /sdcard to / -> unmount disks -> shutdown/reboot
Same with boot image (flash, in this case, and not copy / mod files)... is it possible? Or do I require to boot into recovery for these operations? I know I can remount as rw my system directory via ADB
Also, is it possible to do the same thing with the build.prop file? This, or during startup (before mounting partitions with standard permissions).
Of course, this having root (but not a special kernel to enable this kind of "before mounting" thing).
I've thought of starting to develop an application and one of its features is that it downloads some content (images, files, etc) and organize them into folders in accordance with site they were downloaded.
Well, the question is... How do Android organize your files? In Windows, for example, I could create some folders, one for each site, or one for each time period. But in Android, how does it work? Is there a system of folders like Windows? Or is there a totally different way to organize files?
Anyone notice this or figure out why? I am trying to delete PDF files off the SD card and Astro just says "error deleting file."

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo i found this link from theunlockr.com which shows you how to root your eris and put 2.1 on it. I want 2.1 but i am not sure about the root. Any cons to rooting? Will i still receive ota updates? Anything i can do with rooted eris that i can't do with non-rooted that would make the phone a lot better? I don't want to overclock it i am just looking for more options with the phone. Will i lose all my contacts and apps by doing this? Can i use different apps like the ones the moto droid can use but i can't because i am on 1.5?

Obviously over the past year it added a bunch of files and folders to the card for miscellaneous app data, music, pics, etc. Would I gain any speed on the device by reformatting the card and letting it start fresh in it's new home and re-syncing music and photos into fresh android directories?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question about moving files after rooting, installed supersu already and give root browser permissions in supersu.
I have a problem with moving a apk file from downloads/direct to system/priv-app. It says after i'm trying to moved it "failed operations" and it seems like it's the only directory i can't move files to.
I have read that the files or directory should have some special permissions, but i'am sure that the criteria are met.
Also when i go to supersu to see logfiles on the "action" it says that i need supersu pro to move that files. But will it works or what should i do to get this to work?
Since the update in May, I haven't been able to "touch scroll" through my files/pictures....before the update I could (using Astro) click on a picture and then touch and "throw" to the next one...but since the update when I click on a picture, I have to go back to the file list and click on the next one....is there a way around this? a setting to change?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI went to Google Labs and looked around and found Places Directory. The page shows a barcode and said I could scan that and download the app so that's what I did. My browser opened up and showed that the file was downloaded.
So I went back to the home screen but couldn't find Places Directory. I decided to manually download and install it from the market and that worked fine.
My question is, do I now have a downloaded copy of this app that is just sitting somewhere taking up space? I can't figure out where files downloaded by the browser go to, please help.
I have a project written for Android devices. It generates a large number of files, each day. These are all text files and images. The app uses a database to reference these files.
The app is supposed to clear up these files after a little use (perhaps after a few days), but this process may or may not be working. This is not the subject of this question.
Due to a historic accident, the organization of the files are somewhat naive: everything is in the same directory; a .hidden directory which contains a zero byte .nomedia file to prevent the MediaScanner indexing it.
Today, I am seeing an error reported:
CODE:................
Regarding the sdcard, I see it has plenty of storage left, but counting
$ cd /Volumes/NO_NAME/.hidden
$ ls | wc -w
9058
Deleting a number of files seems to have allowed the file creation for today to proceed.
Regrettably, I did not try touching a new file to try and reproduce the error on a commandline; I also deleted several hundred files rather than a handful.
However, my question is: Are there hard limits on filesize or number of files in a directory?
am I even on the right track here?
Nota Bene: The SD card is as-is - i.e. I haven't formatted it, so I would guess it would be a FAT-* format.
The FAT-32 format has hard limits of filesize of 2GB (well above the filesizes I am dealing with) and a limit of number of files in the root directory. I am definitely not writing files in the root directory.
I have an HT-PAD1051 - seems to be pretty close to the HeroTab M10.
I have rooted the device but can not get access to the root directory in the internal sd card. (There is no external sd card slot on this particular device). Part of teh internal sd card is mapped to a /mnt/ directory and folders in that directory are accessible. But no access to the root directory. So, when I try to flash Clockwork Mod recovery using ROM Manager it fails due to not being able to access the directory.
