I used auto-nooter 3.0.0 to root my NookColor, now the browser is no longer restricted to file downloads. Now when I try to download a 16mb file from the web browser it says I don't have enough room. That's fine, but there's no menu in the browser for me to change the destination folder where these downloaded files are to be stored. Is there some settings file I can hack to redirect from the standard /media/My Files/Downloads to some other location on my SD card?
I know there are other free browsers on Android Market that I can download and use but I rather not have to go through that route.
I don't mind hacking some files to make this change. Is there any ideas?
I would also like to know if this is possible. I would like my downloads to go to the SD card instead of the internal memory. Is there a setting somewhere that I am not seeing to do this?
Hi,
I've installed my Nook Color with Honeycomb (HC v4 eMMC 2nd).
I've copied few images and videos into the NC (by mounting the 'media' using Nook Color USB Mass Storage utility). But in the gallery nothing is shown and I tried the same with SD card too. In fact I've faced the same problem with Nookie Froyo too.
I came to conclusion that I m copying the files to wrong place (unlike my N900 which reads from any place )
Some one, please help.
Thanks.

Try another way install "file expert" from market, run the application and enable "ftp sharing" and so you can easily connect PC to nook and transfer your files.
Thanks. But can you please tell me where to copy the image/video files? I mean is there any special place where NC Honeycomb looks for media files?
Quite new to the whole thing myself, images belongs to DCIM folder to show up in gallery and I believe for video/mp3 it does'nt matter which folder you choose.

Thanks. In fact I've copied a movie into the media directory. But no luck Any other thoughts...
Fellas,
Am I only one having this problem ? At least confirmation from people for whom it is working fine with Images (I need to try with DCIM), Videos and Songs would be highly appreciated
What are you using to copy the files? Have you check with astro that the files are actually copied? if you are using ums, unmount the drive from the PC beforce choosing unmount on ums.

I don't think the HC rom can see anything written in the folders on EMMC. You can't even navigate to it with Root Explorer because I don't think it's even mounted.
I've switched back and forth between CM7 and HC, and while running CM7 I moved some music from my sdcard to the Music folder in EMMC. When I loaded up HC all of the music disappeared, and only my photos on the sdcard were viewable. Once I flashed back to CM7 all of the music was back.
It was also a test for me to see if the entire internal memory of the nook is wiped using the options in CWR, and apparently all of the files stay intact.
I am having these issues as well. I put a picture in every DCIM folder on the nook. I put it on my micro sd card, and nook media drive. I have unmounted and mounted several times. I have tried music with a folder named music on the root of my sd card and in the nook media drive. I can see it if I go to it in root explorer, and actually play it from there, but nothing will show in my gallery or music player. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ROM - nookie comb
Thanks you all for your inputs.
Initially I've tried with CM7 only. Might be I've some thing wrong... I'll try with it again..
If the issue is originally present with HC rom, though disappointed, but still okay with it as I can be sure that i m not missing something

Hint
After long gap I think I see the problem now. When I copied images to NC (mounted using UMC app and ejected from system and then unmounted in UMC), the media scanner seems not seeing the updates or it is sleeping. If I restart the NC, then images were shown in the Gallery app.
Is there any setting or tip to make the scanner look for the update?
Will Nook version of Cyanogenmod or any Android 2.3 firmware release does the task well?

Android by Default rescans for Media at every Boot. If you want there are Apps to Manually scan.
Search the Market for "Rescan Media ROOT" it will Manually force Scan you're device and can disable scan on boot if you want to speed up boot.
Also I recommend getting "StudioKUMA" as it allows you to easily Blacklist folders which you don't want scanned.

Thanks. Does it mean when ever we copy some new media (be it images/songs/videos), we manually need to initiate the scanning. (asking again because my Nokia N900 will show the new stuff without a glitch immediately I eject from System)

Only if you want it to recognize new stuff imediately. It'll scan for new stuff eventually but sometimes it can take awhile.

SD Card -> DCIM for pictures. I use Astro File Manager to view them without issue. Will try tonight to see if I can see them in the gallery.
I recently deleted my sdcard folder on my kindle fire hd. I cannot boot into recovery, and I was wondering is there anyway I can add the sdcard folder back with the necessary folders?

*Fixed* Strangely enough, I connected my tablet to my PC and the folders were there. Mods please close this thread.
CWM backup locates backup to internal storarage to /data/media/clockwork. That folder is not available when I connect the HD+ to my PC. It is also not evident in /storage/emulated/0 or other locations. I couldn't make a symlink to that location either.
How to get a copy of the backup to PC without making a copy to ext_sdcard or other internal storage?
Does TWRP do the internal backup in the same location? Can you specify location?
You may use ADB to tranfer the files
As far as I know there should be an option in TWRP to specify the location.
But on SD CWM recovery it backups everything onto the SD card, why don't you just boot from SD and backup everything?

I experimented and I can access the files directly with the PC. I don't know why it works but I can access files in the root.
1) Use File Manager to create a link /data/media/clockwork in folder /data/media/0
2) Use Root Explorer to copy the created link to the ext_sdcard.
3)Select that link with PC and you can get to /data/media/clockwork and copy files to the pc.
You can also copy files to that folder with Windows Explorer too.
I'm running EMMC rom but I wonder if works on Stock too.

The issue is that CM10.1/CM10.2 uses multi-user setup, hence the 0 folders in the /data/media folder. CWM is not set up for multi-user so does not use the 0 folder. You could use root explorer to MOVE the backup from /data/media/clockworkmod to /data/media/0/clockworkmod. That way it takes no more space on internal memory. Then you can access it on your PC. After copying to the PC, just move it back or delete it if you don't want it on internal memory any more.

Thanks that works.
With the link I made, I don't have to move the backup to /data/media/0 and move it back to copy to pc.
Is the problem specific to CM or do all 4.2.2 or 4.3 roms have this?
If I change recovery to TWRP can I just specify a folder on internal card "/0/TWRP"
?
It should be true for all 4.2/4.3 ROMs. But stock does not use it.
And I don't use TWRP so I don't know if you can specify the locations there. Others said you can.

Hello folks.
I've been deleting files form SD card, using MTP. Deletion works without error, files are not shown any more.
However: The SD-card does not show any more free space as before the deletion.
Any suggestions?
Device Moto G 2. gen
stock rom 6.0
Hello folks.
I'm wondering if my question is not clear.
I have 30MB left on my SD, even though I did delete a bunch of stuff.
I really could use a hint - would like to copy some new content to it, once I get more "free" space...
Well, how have things turned out?
You know about the extra restrictions regarding external storage added in Android 6. You can barely use the SD card as it is, let alone have Windows do things to it.
Have you tried checking the storage with a file manager? ES File Explorer and X-plore could be granted some sort of write permission - see if the files are still there and delete them through your phone - although those two have a recycle bin option, make sure you uncheck it first.
And start using Temasek's custom ROM in the first place. If you're using the SD card as much as I do, that's the only reasonable option when it comes to Android 6.
