ES File Explorer

Unrooted Xoom here.
Just found this app (thanks to a forum member!) and I'm wondering if I can use it to uninstall apps I don't want i.e Dungeon Defender.
TIA

Not sure but I know root explorer works.

I'd be curious why you don't just do so through the Market? Either way ES File Explorer is great -- I use it to manage files on my server both through FTP and my local network. Fantastic app it is!

You can get rid of anything in /system/app just by renaming it so it doesn't end in apk.

I am wanting to delete some of the pre-installed apps.
They don't show up as market downloads.

You can't remove system apps through the market.

My bad didn't read far enough! I just tried unrooted and it was unsuccessful. Back on the phone it was easy to do. Not sure if its the same as I'm waiting to root. But go to the menu, click manage, then apps. Again rooted may be a different story.

Don't you need root to be going around and messing with system files? Pretty sure you do, but I might be wrong.

I'd like sabnzbd for android, that way it could download straight to the device and repair/extract after the download finishes

GetNZB (from the Market) allows you to download nzbs from nzb.org and upload to an FTP server. I use it for uploading nzbs to my NAS which polls for nzbs in a specific folder then starts downloading.

I've got sabnzbd working on my xoom. I installed ubuntu using the guide on this forum (in android developments) once it was working a quick "apt-get sabnzbdplus"gets it installed. Then edit the /etc/default/sabnzbdlus to set the user as root.
Once its running connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 and it'll bring up the wizard.
Tada. ;-)
You can install transmisson this way as well with a quick "apt-get install transmisson-daemon" then connect to 127.0.0.1:9091

The only one I know of is NewzDroid.

EZ Usenet guys. It is for Easynews if you have an account and you can download directly to your Xoom or android device. Works great...free version has 15 days of news and paid is of course more days..

Yep, I read that the standard version looks for an IMEI number that a tablet like this would not have, while the premium version does not check for that.

Tapatalk works just fine.

I've found there's quite a few apps unavailable on the market when on my Kindle. I usually install to my phone, pull them off, upload to dropbox then download/install on the KF.

I have done the same same for a lot of apps. I've even purchased apps on my phone to get the app on my Kindle Fire.

I followed the guide pretty everything but it didn't work out for me. The program updates all information in build.proc but not for the IMEI number. The pop up windows shows my SN, no MAC address and IMEI 00-SN, but after the adb it reboots and I found the IMEI still remains blank, XDA app still FC. Tried many times no luck. Please help.

Problem solved by updating the JAVA, realized the issue after reading the original OP carefully. Thanks the guide, it's wonderful.

I had the same problem with the XDA app Force Closing on my Rooted Kindle Fire, still on the stock ROM. Sounds like the easy fix is just to purchase the premium which I intended to do but had wanted to check out the free app first. If you guys say premium is working good then I'm going to get it.

.nomedia folder not working to hide pics?

I'm trying to hide some pictures from folders that I need from the Gallery app.. I used to do this by adding a ".nomedia"folder.. But since I got the galaxy s3 it doesn't seem to be working that way.. I can't delete the pictures or the apps won't work.. Does anybody have a fix for this.. Without downloading a application for it? Thanks for any help you can give me!

It's a file named .nomedia not a folder...

I used to use a folder.. But either way neither of them work (file/folder)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

just add the .nomedia file to the folder.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

How are you adding the file? Maybe I can walk you through it... check you private messages if you need help still

After you add the .nomedia file, clear gallery cache, reboot, and see if the pictures are there.

I did... I have never had a problem doing this before.. Until the galaxy s3 its soo strange., I appreciate everyone's help thank you so much.. I just can't figure this out. I will post some screen shots

You could also try deleting those pictures. Then they're sure to not show up.

If I delete them then my clocks won't have images.. So I'd have to re download all my files.. Then I'd be in the same boat again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I just sent you a link in a private message with the nomedia file i created - maybe the one your creating has a permissions issue, so maybe if you download that one and put it in your directory, then clear the data and reboot it will fix your issue...

I had this problem too. Download hide it pro and you can set pics to not show in the gallery.

I think your problem is using myfiles to create the file - try using a different file explorer - i use root explorer but there are others ones like astro that should work, then clear the data and reboot....
If you look myfiles doesnt see my .nomedia file but root explorer does:

If you clear data it will not delete your photos, it will just make gallery rebuild its database of the files...

Why are you adverse to downloading an app to accomplish your goal? There are free apps that do what you need and with a lot less time and hassle.

what windows program can i use to browse phone files?

I need to extract some files from the phone itself (data for certain apps) but my screen is completely busted and I can only turn the phone on and connect via USB. Any windows program I can use to extract information ? My phone was/is rooted

You must always next time post on question section.
Ok back to topic.Do you mean sd memory files. ?
Then better to connect with pc to take all backuo of phone. This is the better way if your screen is blushed.
If you still have problem then better to contact service guys. Then can help you.

Try to use hdmi on big TV with mouse. And install root explorer.
Then you will be able to see all things which you can't see in your broken screen.
