I just downloaded a picture from an email
I went to /sdcard/download and there it was.
Something weird must be happening on your phone then.

are you actually downloading the file or just clicking on preview from the email apk

Attachments are not downloaded until you hit download. The they will go to sd/download/.

Clicking preview ! < open button >
I see the little droid with da clip ! I click on open , I don't see any "download" option in the menu .
So... I asume it's already downloaded ! but not where you all say guys !
edit : I changed from built-in to k9mail .. and now is working fine .. they are saved at /sdcard (root)
Thank You all for the help , maybe YES ... something is wrong with my built-in mail !

Clicking Preview doesn't download.
Also, I think only certain files can be downloaded.
I just tested with a .RAR file attached to an email and there was no Preview button and no Download button.
With a jpg attached, there were both buttons.
It's probably a security feature, so you can only download certain file types...

Yeah , must be that ... ( I sent to myself an .apk file )
Mystery Solved then !
Thanx again Paul ! and all of you guys !

anytime... FWIW, you can just change the extension to .jpg or .txt and you should be able to download it then. once you have it downloaded just change the extension back to .apk or .zip
actually... not too sure if you can change extension file types on the phone...

Good idea !
I had this problem .. found some apps ( .apk ) and wanted to install them ..
BUT .... I forgot the usb cable @ home ... so decided to email them , and then I had the second problem .. where da fu... are the "downloaded" files ???
So... I found the websharing app .. OMG .. what a great tool "online SDcard" using wifi ( maybe I'll buy the app to have full features )
And got the job done ! Files @ my SDcard ..
Finally .. I tried to replicate the same email problem using K9Mail ... but I did get the "save" option
That s the whole Tale !

Good one,if possible i can remove things i do not want like launcher pro (so i can upgrade myself to plus,not possible now in a rom i use)

yup.. its possible... i changed my launcher pro to the plus version... u will need a program which can modify it.. i used 7zip file manager...
u can get it at ( http://www.7-zip.org/ )
cheers..

thx im testing it right now

Ah that works......
And afterwards?
Can i just remove the apps in the apps folder?
And place my apps in?
Or do i also need to edit a install config file?
And how to zip it back like the original?
Thx

i tested removing apps and everything is cool need to test adding apps
7zip ask u if u wanna rebulid it and ure Done

Aha,zipping back to tar.gz can be done with this one:
http://www.gzip.org/ free .
Going to test now,removed all thing i do not want,and put in my own programs....let's see if it works,report asap.

This will work... you just need to be careful what you remove since you may end up with an unbootable android OS (boot loop) ... of course that's the beauty of the dual boot... you just copy a fresh android folder over and start again

do i need to rename it to tar.gz?
7 zip makes a .7z from it
I think i got it.
Just zipped with 7zip,placed that file on gz converter.
Removed only apps i do not need,and add my own,test now.

no just open htcleo_update.tar.gz
u will see htcleo_update.tar open it too
remove the apks close 7zip
its will ask u do u want to update the archive
wait till its finished u will see temp file

ok that works,altough i can not add apk files

adding apk not working ?
its gives error at first boot ?

No,misunderstand.....removing with the method from you works,it is booting now and installing.
What i meant to say is add my own apk files in that way,but 7zip says when i want to add my own apps: nor supported. (srry english not so good)

Ok,does not work...
I only removed launcher pro,notting else....
Android boots,but when almost on home screen setup crashes.....

i removed same wallpapers and email gmail and some more didnt got error
try another htcleo_update.tar.gz with normal launcher too
im testing now with adobe flash and same more removed
the flash didn't installed successfully
browser still need the plugin

Yep correct,but i do not know how to add it?
Removing other apps works with 7zip like flashlight,voicerecording etc.
But when i try to add files with 7zip it says not supported.

[Q] how to use live wallpaper (deleted the apk on accident)

So 2 days ago I realized that I couldn't use live wallpaper because I discovered that my livewallpaper.apk was missing. I found the file but it ways cannot install when I try to install it. Is there a way to fix this?

you will need to place the live wallpaper .apk into /system/app/ and restart. either use root explorer on market or adb push from computer. if you dont know how to use adb, google it.

I did that, but the live wallpaper doesn't show up when I want to change my wallpaper.

did you make sure to remount the system read-write? if not, the apk didnt actually get placed. make sure you pull the live wallpaper apk from the version you are using.

yea, I have it on system rw. Maybe it's the apk file?
Can you send me yours?

Need Live Wallpaper Location

I've recently installed the Nexus S live wallpaper in my SG3 but unfortunately it didn't work. Then I've un-installed the live wallpaper but whenever I'm going to set the live wallpaper (from Home --> wallpaper --> live wallpaper), I can still see the live Nexus S live wallpaper there (which I've already un-installed). Even if I select it, the application closes forcefully.
My phone is on the stock 2.2 but rooted. I've even used the titanium back and roo explorer to find the apk file corresponding to the that live wallpaper.
Can anyone please help me to find out the path of the live wallpaper apk file path (in phone memory or sd card) so I can manually delete the file.
Thanks in advance.

/system/app/livewallpapers.apk delete this one. use root expl

I reinstall the app and then uninstall it - by this way, the problem is solved now.
Many thanks for your help.

My Files File Manager Missin

My first post being a week old android user after moving from ios so please consider the stupidity i'm about to explain .
The problem i have is with the N900 exynos model with 4.4.2 ( rooted )
Today i installed s5 file manager port for my note 3 According to the instruction ,
I installed it and restarted but saw no change . So i replaced the secmyfiles2.apk file
In system/app and system/priv-app , deleted the secmyfiles2.odex and restarted
And got the warning "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." . When i clicked all apps , my files app was missing , not just from the launcher but app manager too . So with hopes to get it back , I WIPED DATA PARTITION and did a full reset . and when the reset was done n i opened my apps , "my files " app was missing , not just from the launcher , from all apps as well . Now that file in system/app has a generic apk icon and " parsing error " message appears when i click it . Also , the s5 file manager apk that i downloaded installed previously but now it ends with an error " App not installed " when i try to install it directly . I cropped the screenshot to shrink the size due to upload limits . Please help me solve the issue . Thanks

I would , but I'm selling it to get N9005 and the buyer excepts all stock apps with root , flashing new firmware is not an option for me
Coz my internet is way too slow . Btw , can the problem be solved if i have N900's original odex and apk from system/app and priv-app folder ? If yes , can anyone please share

cop)y it in priv app and give permissions

1 : no
2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-noob-guide-to-set-file-permissions-t1857648

No luck still now the app icon is showing up in priv-appfolder and i have ticked all permissions but its still not showing in launcher or installed apps . Please dont give up on me

you must boot again.....

Yes , I put the app and odex in system/priv-app and restarted but it had no effect , tried putting it in app folder and restarting too n still the same . I even gave it a full reset to see if I have some luck but the file manager is still missing

I have attached a screen shot of my " about " to see if it helps regarding the
Odex and ask compatibility or similar .

Last solution is flash stock with odin...

any idea why the file manager doesn't install like it used to before the problem occured and now says " app not installed " ?

I send you N9005 files... maybe not compatible with N900......

Yeah I think so too . Any way I can get the N900 files ? Downloading a stock
Fi for n900 will take forever with my Internet . Would be better if I could get the files for test .
