I am new to the Xoom but not that new to Android. I have copied over a few files to my Xoom but have no idea how to find them. On my phone I could always find them under My Files but I do not see anywhere to look at these files on my Xoom. Please help!!!
You need a file manager.
I made one called columnar, specifically for honeycomb devices
Look under the sdcard folder.

The picture folders take forever to load when I open gallery, does anyone else get this? seems slow creating previews of the pictures
i have the same issue
I went back to di18 and that problem was no more

only remedy I found was back out of the gallery, and re-enter it. It loads normal speed then
I had success a while back deleting all of my thumbnails, early on, in fixing this problem. (Thumbnails are regenerated upon launching after this). Id also check that u have the latest version of the galley that we're using. Check out the development section, and most of the roms there have that version that I haven't had probs with. I don't know what you're running (dk28.. cw3 ext4..?) If so, I'm usng the version in the Truly Epic rom, and also have used Quantum rom's.
Btw, I have a TON of image files on my sd. If you have certain directories that u don't want to appear in the gallery, u can manage them with a .nomedia file. Ask if u have questions about it.

Exactly delete your android folder on the root of your sd card. It still re generate on the next boot and your gallery will be fixed.

I use a alternative picture app, "QuickPic", it's so much faster then the stock gallery app.
Thanks for the tip guys, that fixed my problem

Just rename the folder to x.nomedia?
I just put a bunch of stuff on my phone in different folders, but photosafe and videosafe need licenses to hide things so this would be a good thing to hide them from my less-tech savvy gf and allow me to actually take the security lock off lol

hehe - in response to the first part:
no - don't rename the folder to that. basically, the .nomedia is a file the GOES into a directory that you don't want the media scanner to scan.
The .nomedia file basically says, "move along! nothin to see here!".
So, a .nomedia file would have to be in EACH of the directories you don't want to show up. Keep in mind.. this won't hide them, and in regards to ur gf... a .nomedia file won't have any affect on the history that a media player might keep... so keep that in mind
To create the nomedia file, you can either find one on your sd somewhere, and copy it (pasting into desired folders)
or
open Notepad on ur computer, save the blank file as "nomedia.txt"
Copy it to your SD, in Astro, rename it to .nomedia (with no extension). and you're set.
I was just clearing out my SD card when I noticed in a folder called "download" on the root of the card there was a lot of apk files called "downloadfile-1.apk" with different numbers in place of the 1. Does anyone know where these come from and if I'm ok to delete them? Thanks.

These are Android packages for the apps you have downloaded probably through some application.
These are safe to delete as your actual apps installed will live elsewhere. It is safe to say if your not noticing anything not installed and you don't know what they are, these can be deleted. If you need them again and you have paid for them, the market should have these information stored with your google account and can be downloaded again if needed.
If you really want to, you can transfer them to your home pc for backup. You can find out what they are using the android software development kit if you so wish, using a program called aapt.
Thanks for the advice. Very helpful.

I have a Samsung Note and if I want to add a new Kindle book I just connect with USB and copy the file from the PC to the Kindle folder on the Note, I cannot seem to do this on the Nexus I can access the storage but I am offered no folders to past into.
I know I can send it via email so please do not suggest this method. Why cant I see all the folders like I can on the Note?
Are you saying there are no folders at all, or you cant find the kindle folder?
on the N7 it should be:
/sdcard/kindle

Create the folder on your pc (kindle) with your books in the correct place and copy/paste it to the sd. When asked, tick merge.
Wifi explorer. MTP is a little crappy at updating at times.

Or you could get moon reader and read any epub book.

Howdy,
I root and flashed my wife's mytouch 3g slide this weekend and apparently she cant live without a specific ringtone. She believes it was called pentatonic. I did some googling, but none were correct. Would anyone here still have a default install that could see if this ringtone was on there? If so, I would appreciate a copy!
Thanks
you could always download the orginal rom she had and extract the ringtone from there, then put it on sd card in a folder called ringtones (make one if you need to)

Winrar, and then yaffey to read the img file worked great. Thanks!
I can't seem to find my nandroid back ups. Usually they stay in the clockwork mod folder on the SD card. I do remember reading that they were moved to another directory somewhere. If anyone can help I will thank accordingly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
In 4.2.x they will be in /data/media/clockworkmod but you can only view them using a root explorer. I posted some screenshots on how to find them with ES File Explorer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38857026&postcount=18
Hi,
Take a look at /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup or /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
EDIT: too slow
I'm going to steal this thread and ask... How do you access these backups from the PC though?
OK so I found the files but I can't delete them and ROM manager says they aren't there. What am I doing wrong? Need to delete these nandroids for space.

Was about to say delete them using what I posted before or delete them when in CWM
