Can someone find the folder that houses the folders data/com.dropbox.android. I created a folder on my device and when naming it, it also renamed an important folder. Now my thumbnails wont load for dropbox and a few other things were moved. like com.google.android.youtube. Important things. Can some find the folder that those are suppose to be in? Weird how it let me rename it. I try renaming it now and it errors. So im just gonna copy all the files in there and move the to the new CORRECT folder. Please and thank you.
99% of the com.anything folders are located in Android/Data/, so in your case, it would be Android/Data/com.dropbox.android

In the meanwhile there are a lot of program links in my program folder. But i realized that some of them are not movable. Some of them are located in \windows\startmenue and I can resort them to new folders etc. but a lot of them are not accessible. When I take my explorer from my PC with showing hidden files I can see all .lnk files but there is no way to move them because the access is denied.
Is there any way to move them to get order in this folder?
The hidden files are most probably in ROM, so they can't be moved, obviously...
So I guess my question is, "Can anyone help me?"
I used custom ringtones, and I don't like using them from the SD card, it creates lag, takes longer to load the ringtone, etc, so I keep them on my /system/media folder. Normally to accomplish this, when I install a new ROM update, I edit it and resign it, with my media folder, rather than the ROM's.
My predicament however, is that I don't know how to change the file structure for the update, I know there are files in the update that say, this and this folder exist, where this goes, etc. This is what I don't know how to do.
All I need the update to do is contain the media (/system/media) folder, so I can just add all my ringtones and notifications to this update, and flash it after I flash whatever update/rom, etc, instead of always having to be at my computer to create a custom version of every rom I use.
Could anyone please care to help? I'd be ever grateful.
You can use the attached file.
Just edit the files in the ROM
zip it
put the zipped ROM in the same folder as the attached files
run sign.bat
FLASH

is this just to be used for signing? i already know how to sign files. i need someone to edit w/e files are inside the rom that tell its structure (this folder exists, and gets flashed here, this folder goes here, etc). i cant just take a cm rom and delete everything i dont need then flash it. it will get errors in recovery.
Make a folder called media in the root of your update, and create the proper descending folders in media (i.e. audio/ringtones, etc). Place your notifications/ringtones/alarms etc in the proper folders. (I am sure you understand this already)
Open your update-script file for the update and add the line
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:media SYSTEM:media
That should do it.
Note that if in the update-script you already have an entire system folder being copied over via
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
then you need only add the folder media to the folder /system in the update.

Thanks man, but my buddy actually just helped me out with this, but yeah thats exactly what I needed to know. Thanks a ton mate
ok, so I've made some modifications to the default theme but I cannot seem to get a .zip that will flash. I've just transferred them straight to my hero using android commander, which works.
But anyway, it doesn't really matter if no one wants to use it, right? so here are some screenshots, if someone could help me out that would be much appreciated.
easiets way is to look inside a rom.zip
Take out the files META-INF and System
go through the meta-inf folder until you get to update-script and open it in notepad.
Delete everything except the first show progress line and the on saying copy package:SYSTEM or something very similar.
Go back to the system folder and open that,depending what files you are trying to flash you need to keep and empty those files....
if your changing rosie.apk its in system/app so empty system>app and put rosie.apk inside it.
Framework-res.apk is inside system>framework so put it there
When you have finished putting your files in go back to where META-INF and system are,Add them to an archive (.zip) and then resign! if you are unsure of the siging process please search google on how to resign update.zip
Go into 'My Files' and try re-naming your Android, DCIM and sd folders.
When you 're-name' your Android and DCIM folders you are really creating new folders, not re-naming your old ones.
And when you try to re-name your sd folder, you will be told that you can't.
Get to know Android.
that is how the normal file system works in linux

Well first, how do you know which folders can be renamed and which can't?
Will linux create a new folder (and all its contents) whenever you rename one or just when you rename certain ones?
TIA
I believe I have a similar problem as this guy ( http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-s-iii/195932-cant-transfer-pictures-my-s3.html ).
The pictures should be in the DCIM/Camera folder but aren't. I looked up the file path of the pics. Only one old picture is shown.
All pictures shot by me are missing. Could have something to do with permissions?
Edit: Come to think of it. The most likely explanation is that "DCIM/Camera" exists somewhere and is accessed via MTP or PTP in the PC's explorer. The cache file folder has a bunch of .tec and .arc files e.g. 20125440784004.tec
thumbnails is missing.
When accessing the DCIM/Camera folder via the Android file explorer, all pictures are there in storage/sdcard0 along with cache and thumbnail folders. There are no other DCIM/Camera folders or anything other than sdcard0.
What is going on?
Any help is much appreciated.
Well, right after I posted the "Edit", the most reasonable next step would have been to rename the folder and see what happens. Indeed DCIM -> DCIMx did the trick.
Ultimately the renaming brakes down to a bunch of Linux file system commands, probably even resetting permissions. So I figure another renaming step of DCIMx -> DCIM should solve the problem.
Update: It worked, but not after a reboot. I simply renamed the folder again, and let Android create a new DCIM folder. Everything is accessible within this one.
Report if you have similar problems.
