using slimkat 4.2.2, on galaxy (bell i747m). when i try to delete a file or folder via the default file manager "simple explorer", i find that the file deletes perfectly and does not show up on phone... but when i plug my phone in, windows is able to see that file and i am able to access it. what seems to be the problem. so far i am enjoying slimkat, but this is a little disconcerting.

Anyone else having this issue?
I have Root Explorer purchased and installed. I am trying to remove/rename the start up/start down sounds. It appears that root explorer is in r/w mode for the folder I am in (Sytem/etc) if I delete the file, it shows "file deleted succesfully". I refresh and it is still there. If I try and copy my new file from the internal sd, it says "file copied succesfully" but it does not show up. I have also tried renaming PowerOn.wav to PowerOn.wav.bak and it takes but I cannot rename it to PowerOn.wav. Then if I verify things with Linda file manager, it shows the file still named PowerOn.wav.bak. How come it's not letting me change the files? Also, hitting the button "Mount R/O" does nothing, it always says the same thing, it never changes to "Mount R/W".
I keep hearing people say it works for them but it's not working for me. I am using stock rooted firmware.
works perfect for me with root explorer... I renamed the original to "orig_PowerOn.wav" and then copy the one I wanted into the folder and named it "PowerOn.wav" (no quotes of course)
Well ****! now it's working. ????
Working well for me. I didn't delete default sounds, i moved them to backup on SD.
This same exact issue happened to me 3 nights ago while changing my shutdown animation. I had to re-boot my phone a few times before Root Explorer worked properly.
Hello, I have an mp3 player sony nwz-e453, it seems to work as an mtp device. When I connect it to iconia, it is visible under mnt/ section and i can transfer/delete files.
But still there is a constant problem of freezing of a process of transfer on the third-forth file. Then the process of transfer stops and i have to replug my player to make it visible again. Then the situation repeats.
Are you using a file manager to transfer the files? If it is giving you troubles have you tried another file manager instead? There are dozens of file managers on the Android Market.

Yes, I have tried total commander, astro, es, root explorer. Now I turned the auto mount off and mounted the mp3 player manually from the terminal as i wanted to check all the automount options. You see when I copy files one by one or from the terminal where the speed is lower, everything is ok. It looks like some buffer is overflowed. It seems like it's time to write a script for a successive copying of files. Any help?
hey all iv noticed this a lot with the stock 2.2 rom on my POV Mobii tegra 2 (advent vega rebrand).
e.g i uninstalled a game called jelly defence, then tried to install an updated version of it. the install fails saying aplication not installed.
ok so i then tried to reinstall the first version i had working on the tablet, and that also fails to install saying again application not installed..
why would this be happening? iv noticed that it happens on a fair few number of apps that i install, then uninstall, then try to install again and they fail to install.
installation is done via apk file from sd card. even tried over wifi and still same error.
I know this might sound rude, but did you try Google?

ahh, could be something to do with the certificates or the AndroidManifest.xml file.
where is this file located so that i can check its permissions?
This might be a tough nutt to crack...
"AndroidManifest.xml" file is inside .apk files.
ok i managed to fix the problem. i mounted my sd card to the pc with card reader, and in the android.secure folder there was a file called smdl2tmp1.asec , i deleted that and now the app installs fine. got both jelly defence and few others installed with no issues.
strange how i cant see that folder on the tablet itself because its hidden. need an app to see the folder and its contents directly on the tablet so i can delete it again if needed.
Yeah, folders and files with a dot infront of their names are invisible.
It's a Linux thing!
Glad you got that sorted out!
is there no file manager app that can see these files directly on the tablet?
Just tried "iFileManager" app I got with stock tablet software and it can see hidden files/folders.
I also tried Root Explorer and it can see hidden files/folders, but this is a paid app.
Astro File Manager can also see hidden files/folders, but you need to go into Preferences-->Look and Feel-->and enable "Show Hidden Files" option.
Maybe your current file manager app also has such an option?
Hope I helped, and don't forget to give a thanks!
ahh, i have stock ifilemanager, but i dont use it, i use ES File Explorer since i can access my LAN shares with it easily over the wifi. will give ifilemanager a go in few mins time.
thanks again.
just checked ifilemanager can see the folder but it cant see any of the file which are inside the folder.
Just checked some "hidden" folders myself on my tablet.
Some have files / sub-folders inside and some don't.
Not all folders need to have files inside.
but when i check the folder on the pc via sdcard reader, there are files in the folder.
cant see them directly on the tablet, but when connected to pc i can see the files in exact same location.
So my dad accidentally deleted the folders and files in file manager. His tablet works fine, he uses it to browse so doesn't download anything, but I want the files there for peace of mind.
How can I get all the original files back? Dont really want to reset the tablet as it has got his apps and so on which I don't want reinstall. If that's the only option though then I will reset it.
I do have the same tablet myself so if that helps then please let me know.
So he uninstalled the file manager? Or deleted something else?
If it's on yours, you can copy and transfer with no issue.
If he just uninstalled the filemanager or deleted an aspect somehow, copy over directly, or install a different file browser like ES.
File manager is still there but my dad must have gone on it and pressed delete, select all, and delete again. So there are no files in file manager, or any folders, apart from maybe 1 or 2.
It shouldn't affect anything then, but if you like just go into your file manager and copy all the folders, then you can put them in anther folder, which you copy and empty in his filemanager directory. Its simple cut and paste really
Hi
Short version: think ive buggered stock 'My File' (v1.7.0) app on UK G900F (3 network if that matters) can not move, copy or paste files from or to SD or device. Unrooted, have replacent apk file and adb windows zip, need advice/hand-holding. Think a malicious app may have knackered file or read/write path or something. Even ES file explorer or file explorer HD cant move anything. Will keep searching here on xda but any and all help appreciated.
Cheers
You can try unlocking the SDCard with an app like this

Needs root though
