I had ktoonsez installed on my previous rom, I switched over to a different rom and now I can't delete the folder in my internal memory called, "device." When I look in the folder it has ktweaker and other stuff, I've tried to mount the system as r/w but it still doesn't work. Does anyone else have this folder? Photos attached.
Try looking in /data/media/0 or /data/media/legacy
See if the folder is there and try deleting it. Sometimes the files on /sdcard are just images of the data folder. GL!
Delete any folder easily
If you fell any problem to do copy,paste,error Deleting File or Folder.Then you should use Long Path Tool to solve your problem.
If Long Path Tool fails on start up, please ensure you have .net framework installed on your PC.

So I've got a handful of audio files I need to copy to /system/media/audio/notifications and /system/media/audio/ringtones every time I flash a new ROM (even upgrade).
I do this since I often have my SD card mounted (car/desk/etc), and if I do, I get the terrible system beep ringtone/notification, since my N1 can't find the configured sound file.
How would I go about creating a flashable zip that would install those files to the correct location, rather than doing it manually each time?
I've made a similar flashable zip.
Here is what I did. Took a ROM zip file. Made a copy. Opened the *copy* up. Navigate to System. Delete all files/folders except for media.
Open up media folder. Delete all files/folders except for audio.
Open up audio folder. Delete all files/ folders except for ringtones and notifications.
Open up ringtones folder. Delete all files and add the ringtones you want.
Open up notifications folder. Delete all files and add the notifications you want.
Save the new zip file to the SD card and flash it.
And most importantly, NANDROID before you flash it.
BTW, you can also make a media/audio/notifications folder (and/or media/audio/ringtones) on the SD card. Then you can run then right from the card instead of loading them each time. Takes a little time for the new ringtones to show up in settings.
Thank you in advance, this is a great community.
I am running cognition 3.04 and making my first attempt at transparent widgets. However, I am uncertain if I am properly set up to access and reinstall apk files. I can find them on my phone using the file explorer in Andriod Mate. However, it appears that when I plug my phone into the usb or use any other file exploring software, the base directory is /mnt/sdcard/ . I feel that I am missing a critical component of this process, as I do not have ready access to the files I need to alter and eventually replace.
Thank you again,

You would need to copy them from ur /system/app folder to some folder on ur sdcard to see them on computer.
Below is the file system layout.
/ (root)
/system
/system/app
/...
/...
/...
/sdcard
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/...
/sdcard/external_sd
/sdcard/external_sd/...
/sdcard/external_sd/...
/sdcard/external_sd/...
When u connect to computer, it mounts only the internal and external sd cards. It does not mount the system areas like system, data, etc.
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.
Hi,
Well I am running a build of 4.2 attempted to go back to 4.1.2 and having not read the articles on the sdcard symlinks, had issues. So I went back to my 4.2 build.
I then proceeded to move files to the correct folder and now In some apps (Astro File Manager, Dropsync) I am getting errors. Astro says Error Code 14 database error and Dropsync says folder not writeable.
I am thinking it has to do with symlinks but not sure how to fix.
Thanks
Kevin
[Edit]
it was a permissions issue. Just had to run some commands to fix data/media. for reference

I Downloaded a WinRAR file onto my S5 for my computer. It is in my downloads folder on the internal storage of my S5. I have deleted everything out of the folder itself but cannot delete the folder. It annoys me. When I try to delete it I get this dialog box:
"Error deleting folder" Cannot delete WinRAR 5.21 Final(x86-x64) Pre-Activated 100(weird Chinese symbol) an install: The storage is write protected.
Remove the write protection and try again.
I am not stupid...I've tried everything I could think of and cannot remove the write protection or anything. For some reason I think it may be because of the weird Chinese symbol that is after the "Pre-Activated 100"
I cannot rename it, modify it or anything. It is the only file I am having a problem with. Can anybody help me with my OCD?
Is your phone rooted? If yes, you can either use adb or just a terminal emulator app, and delete the cr.p of that file!
Edit: the command you're looking for:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
rm -r Download
That will remove the Download folder along with all its content. (this is irreversible)
