I finally got the Manual Nooter 4.5.6 going, and all the apps and everything works great, love it!
My only reason for rooting however, I cannot seem to find an answer to.
I want to move files that I download from the web, into the /my files/books section and have them show up in the library.
I am able to sideload through calibre, no problem, and they show up.
However if I download through Aldiko and move the files over, it won't show up. I don't see what the difference is.
Any help would be great!
Are you sure that you are placing the files in the correct place after downloading them with Aldiko? They have to be in the main memory to see in the library not the SD card. I will wager that Aldiko is downloading them to the SD card which also has a /My Files/Books folder
Yes. I think so. The path to the books is:
/media/my files/books Aldiko does put them on the SD card and Im moving the folder.
Does the my files folder need to be up a level? Thats where Calibre puts them by default. And they are seen fine.
The library will read from /My Files/Books on either internal memory (/media) or the sdcard (/sdcard).
How are you moving stuff? If I put anything in either of those two, the library sees them. Have you done a refresh in the library?
I'm using Astro file manager to move them from the SD card to the internal storage.
I then do refresh the library, and nothing.
I can put a folder, or just an epub, and still nothing. I'm not getting something...if Calibre can do it and the library can see it, the theoretically I "should" be able to just drop one in there.

I am trying to make a copy of my sd card, but I'm getting a warning that I have 45 files with names too long for the destination folder. They are all located in this directory: Android\data\com.google.android.apps.books\files\volumes\Y7sOAAAAIAAJ\res and have superlong file names. What files are they?? Are they important??
I dont know that I have any eBooks on my device...I shouldn't.
If you don't use Google Books then it's not anything important, you can just delete the whole "com.google.android.apps.books" folder.
After using google and forum search a while I am stuck with this problem.
on my i9000 I want to move files like jpg files from certain appfolders to my external sd card.
I tried to use different File explorers and tried to move for example a picture from the program folder of the app "multicam" on the internal SD card to a new cerated Folder on the external SD Card.
whenever I try to cut & paste it onto ext SD card, it sant be moved or just does not paste it... depending on which file explorer I use. I have SU rights for my file explorers and can't find a way to move the files.
Some files on the internal SD can be COPIED and PASTED onto the external and after that I have to delete the original Files from the internal SD. But why is CUT & Paste not possible?
is there something like protection oder chmod things, that has to be payed attention to ?
thanks for any hints what I do have to look for on the search function of xda-dev or google...
I have the exact same problem. Copy and paste works but Cut and paste does not.
I have both I9000 and Asus Transformer and in both of them this does not work. It's very frustrating when you have to frequently move files.
It happens to me too. I can't move, just copy and paste. For me is not such a bad thing, it keeps adding a "false" sense of security of having backups.
It works using root explorer.
Thx for the tip... I tried root explorer now and this works quite well. Now you can copy/cut + paste from any folder to each folder you like to. There are 2 settings available: r/o and r/w... read only and read write.

There's nothing wrong with the SD card I'm using. It works fine on my computer and on my v10. But for some reason on my v20 it is constantly scanning the sd card. Media files still show up but I cannot open them until the never ending scan ends. Also the music player also does not read the music on the card. I know this use to be an issue with older Android phones but I didn't expect my v20 to have this issue.
It says:
"Scanning media files... try again after scan is complete"
More details? App? Brand of sd card? Type of files? How do you have them organized? Do you have a .nomedia file where it shouldn't be? Etc.?

200gb Lg Brand Micro SD. Using the stock file app . The pop up comes up on all types of media files.
I can still play files on es file explorer however apps such as black player and the stock music app do not recognize any media on the sd card unless I transfer it into the internal storage. I removed all .nomedia files from the card and the card works perfectly fine when plugged in to any other device.

Depending on how much media you have (hopefully less than available internal space) transfer everything to internal memory using es file explorer (or Root explorer - my preference) (avoid the Android folder - but backup any app data you have cause if any apps save their data to the sd card, it will be lost in this method along with any apps you installed to the sd card *just redownload them from play store*).
Then format SD card using phone.
Then transfer everything back to the SD card
FYI doing this changes the modified date of any photos/videos so the phone will think they're new. Only drawback of doing this. I had an issue with my Samsung 256gb card and that was the only way I could get it to fix.
I had to backup my files with my 200GB Sandisk to my laptop, format card for hahas, then retransfer back manually. Did my 90+GB of flacs while watching a movie and the other 40+GB overnight while sleeping.
I transferred stuff onto my 200gb SanDisk card that I had been using in my tablet. The files all showed in file Explorer but wouldn't show in gallery or music players.
There was a lost.dir folder on the SD card (along with others from the tablet) the folder seemed empty (didn't check for hidden files) I deleted the lost.dir folder and the phone can now see everything. (pictures all in gallery now as well as mp3s showing in music players)
Worked for me... Not sure if it will apply to your situation but I figured I'd share...
Same issue but different scenario
Hi All,
I am experiencing a similar issue with a specific app (only so far) - 9gag.
Whenever I download an image from their feed with the dedicated 'save' button, it will save it onto my internal storage (can't change the location of that via app), but it won't show in my gallery.
When I try to open the imaeg in the file explorer it says 'scanning media files... try again after scan is completed' - however, no matter how long I wait, I can't open it and it never becomes visible in the gallery.
I tried following things so far:
- reboot: it works, every time I reboot, all files are scanned and in the gallery, however, if I save further images, the new ones won't show up until I reboot again
- stop media scanning service and clear data: no effect
- rename folder: no effect
- rename file: this works, it shows up in gallery
- copy/move onto sd card: this works too, it shows up in gallery
As you can see, there ARE ways I can make the pics visible, but none of them is a sustainable way. I can't reboot or rename after each image I save, that's pure madness.
Any ideas what else I can try?
Oh and btw, all other apps do work, for example if I save files from screenshots, downloads, Line or WeChat, the phone does create a folder in the same way it does for 9gag and it is visible in the gallery with no problems, so it might be app specific? I also reached out to 9gag already but i don't think they will reply...

Hello XDA forums,
Before I rooted my Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, I had no problem sideloading books onto the SD card and opening them from the native Nook Library app. However, after rooting (with which everything seemed to go fine), the following behaviors happen:
I can see sideloaded epub files in the Nook Library on the SD card /My Files/Books directory, but
when I try to open any of them, I get an error that says, "This Nook, cannot read this file. It maybe an unsupported format", however,
if I go through the ReLaunch file manager, it opens fine in the native Reader app, and
if I sideload the same file by usb to the Nook's main memory, it will open fine from the Library, but
if I copy/paste the file from the SD card to the main memory via the ReLaunch file manager, I get the error message.
Puzzling... any thoughts?
Thanks,
Spindle

I am not familiar with Relaunch so was unable to check that angle. I did discover, to my surprise, that neither epubs nor mobis will open in the appropriate app from ES File Explorer! Jpegs and such do, but not those e-book files. So that was weird. I never would open them that way, but it's still unexpected. The " activity picker", or whatever it's called, can be really squirrely. I don't remember where the file is located any more but I once went to investigate it and found multiple instances of file associations, none of which worked...
Does the problem persist through a reboot? Do the epubs that refuse to open from the Library file manager have the little "n" in the lower right corner?

Thanks for the response. Yeah, the problem persists through reboot and indeed those epubs that refuse to open from the Library have the little n like they should. They just do not open

Mmm... I'm sure you've tried this, but what happens if you transfer an epub via USB to the internal storage [file opens correctly in Reader from Library] and then cut/paste it to storage on the SD card? I know that's a pain and should not be needed, but I'm curious.
The only other idea I have is to try a different File Manager and see if transfers via that app give the same results (to test if this is a Relaunch issue, although I'm sure people would be going on about it if it were). I move files around all the time with my old version of ES File Explorer and never see any issues, but then I don't have issues copying to the SD card via USB either.
Mmm...maybe one other idea. I sometimes use Wi-Fi File Transfer to move epubs from my PC to the NST. It's a very simple app with a browser interface (on your PC). I've never experienced any issues with moving files that way--also saves wear and tear on the USB jack. If that gives epub transfers that are unreadable then the issue is deeper than the method of transfer.

Thanks again. I will noodle on those ideas and let you know what was the outcome.
Sooo... I never figured it out and just lived with it. However, this week (a year later), I had to update the Nook STG because there was a mandatory transport layer security update that made it unable to access the B&N store via the Nook without updating. The update wouldn't install on the rooted nook, so I returned the device to factory default then installed the update. I wasn't using any of the rooted capability anyway, other than to open books from the SD card. After successfully installing the update, the nook still would not open books from the SD card in the native nook library. Since, it appeared that the problem had nothing to do with the prior rooting, I figured it might have something to do with the SD card itself. I unmounted and reformatted the SD card via the Nook's built in utility, then reloaded my books. Viola!! The Nook recognizes and opens the books from the SD card now. It was apparently an incompatible card format or something... So, SOLVED.
I save Songs and Videos in Songs Folder and Videos Folder created in MicroSd Card inserted in my Samsung M30s.But they disappear after some time.How to keep them secure in these folders?
Maybe you have some service enabled on your phone that wipes memory from files not used for a certain period of time, or moves them to the cloud. You know your phone best yourself. Did you connect the microSD as external memory or internally?
Which might be that services?Can you name some for an example?I connected the MicroSd as External Memory.
Look first in this application, where you have selected a directory in the external memory.
You can also move files to another location on the microSD yourself before they disappear in the location where they disappear.

Thank you ze7zez.First I shall try moving these files to already existing folders in the Sdcard watch whether they are disappearing.Afterwards I shall report the result here.
Do not use directories that the system or applications have posed.
Create a DATA directory yourself and move files to it.
Thank you ze7zez,
As you advised,I moved the Video files to the Movies folder and the Audio files to the Music folders.You know these folders are designated by the Phone itself whien I inserted the MicroSd Card for the first time.Then I watched for a day to see whether the files are disappeared from these folders.I found that those files are there still in these folders.Now I want to know why these files vanish from the folders created by me?
Describe /the actions you perform/name the applications you use/ that place files in directories where they later disappear.
I used File Manager Plus Application to move video files to Videos Folder and Audio files to Songs Folder.These Videos and Songs Folders were created by myself in the Sdcard.And these files were moved from the Send Anywhere Folder in the Sdcard itself.And to my dismay this Send Anywhere Folder itself was also created by myself in the Sdcard.Also the files in this folder remain in tact.They won't disappear.
So did the files disappear from the "Send Anywhere" directory?
What application placed the files in "Send Anywhere"?
The files did not disappear from the Send Anywhere Folder.They are still there since 3 days.This SendAnywhere directory got these files by transferring from another phone using Send Anywhere App.
