[How-to] Sending apps to our Iconia brothers/sisters..

Here's a set of instructions to get apps to those that live in countries withnless than cooperative markets:
1. Download the app to bent sent from the market and install.
2. Using an app backup utility (like MyBackup Pro) to backup the file to it's raw .apk.
3. Upload that file to the web for hosting (I use my dropbox, since its free and all native on my tablet)
4. Share the link on here for all to enjoy!
I may have over-simplified the steps, but it gives you an idea how it's possible.
Another option is to point everyone in need to 4shared.com so they can search for the .apk directly for download. Hope this helps!

[Q] Dropbox downloads

I downloadad a .jpg file from Dropbox, but can't find it. I'm using Astro to search. Help, please.

it defaults to the dropbox folder on the root of the internal storage.
if the jpg was in a subfolder on your dropbox account, it will be in that subfolder.

In most cases you can't open a file from the dropbox folder by using a file explorer.
Open the Dropbox app and navigate to the folder you saved it to in Dropbox. Select the file (long press) and it will give you the options.
You can use another app (Dropsync) to synchronize your dropboxfiles with your tablet.
A little confusing because Dropbox doesn't actually 'store' your files on each device (only metadata or something like that) unless you tell it to 'download' the file.
Hope this helps.

File Location

Help!!!
I have a dual boot setup with 7.2.0-RC3-Kang on eMMc normal and 1.4.2.keep-CWM on eMMc alternate.
This is by far the most satisfying iteration (of many) I have used on my original NC.
However, I cannot for the life of me find the path to the folders where my Kindle and Nook books are kept for their respective apps on the Normal/7.2.0-RC3 side.
I have used both the Root Explorer and File manager apps to no avail.
The files for my 1.4.2 Nook books are clearly on the sdcard.
In the eMMC sections I can examine, both the Nook and Kindle folders are empty even though I clearly have books in both.
Uploading to BN and then d/l to the app is not an option for several titles I want on the "apps" side.
Thanks in advance.
Also: Is there a 1.4.3-keep-CWM in the offing???

Unless you have moved the files on your nook color for your books, the native location for your book files is in the /mnt/emmc/My Files/Books.
Also check in the /mnt/emmc/B&N downloads/ for any books you downloaded from B&N.
You should not need root to find these files. So unless you deleted those files or moved them that is the correct path for them. I have not moved mine on the nook color since I had it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To find lost files on your nook color since you now have it rooted just download a file manager app called ES file explorer, make sure in the options of that app you have 'root explorer' enabled, and type in the file or book you want to find in its search bar you want to find in that app.
