forgive me if this is obvious to everyone but me, but i am trying to locate an APK on my tablet and for the life of me i cant find it. I have a game deal or no deal uk that i downloaded from somewhere, it is now no longer available online cos of copyright issues. i want to share it with my friends but cant find the file to give them. I have downloaded root explorer, es file explorer, been into evey folder it comes up with and cant find the bloody thing... can anybody give me any advice where it may be hiding. Could it be another type of file .. swf or something that i am not seeing.. the words deal or no deal appear nowhere in my system tree that i can see.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Click the button in the top right of root explorer that says mount r/w

I don't know how it happened, but it appears that I have somehow changed the path that contains the ringtones. I was looking for them out of curiosity. Now, whenever I try to bring up ringtones, I get a directory listing of /storage/emulated/0. I can probably reset it properly, but I don't know they actually reside. I don't have root access, and I'm afraid that may be a problem in resetting the path. I'm thinking that's why a search with ES File Explorer can't find them, (or maybe I'm not searching for the correct extension). Can anyone offer any guidance?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,

Can't help you without root access. The correct path is:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
Edit* In doing some looking. Were you trying to add more ringtones? The folder you gave seems to be the downloads folder. Ringtones you add maybe be in another folder. For example it could be ...../emulated/ringtones
Another example would be any folder in your usable internal storage will come after the emulated/

Hey guys I need your help... Ive searched and searched and used youtube etc and I still cant figure this out. Okay I downloaded a torrent file and now it is in my internal partition and it is nothing but an empty file, 0 bytes. Now, I try and delete it and it does delete, until I press refresh and then it comes back into my downloads folder. HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS?? Ive triesd and tried, Ive tried to delete it while its on the pc, Ive completely wiped my device and re flashed the Foxhound ROM, and after all my apps and data boot up, I go into my file folder and there it is... still there. When I try and delete it on the PC it says it is write-protected and I dont know how to turn the permissions off it.
I am using ES File Explorer and have Root Explorer but dont really know how to use it to do anything. I know I have to change the write permissions cuz it wont even let me rename it. So can someone please walk me through this, I know it isnt a big deal being there as it is an empty file, but if theres nothing there I dont wanna see it. and its annoying lol. Thank you in advance.
Jeff
It might help to share the directory/FileName etc, also its a guess but if you used an android torrent app to download the file... You might need to remove the torrent from the from the app... It might be re-downloading.

I looked through the apk and didn't see this image anywhere. I think they're downloaded remotely, so not built into the apk.

I'm thinking the same thing. I also went through the apk and didn't find anything. I haven't had any luck searching in the internal file system, but if it's downloaded remotely, I would expected to find it somewhere. Hmmm...
Anywho, thanks for taking the time to look. I hope I can find it.

It's probably stored in cache, which I don't know how to look through. Good luck!
You can find it in the Nvidia Customization.apk

Can you upload it somewhere?
Give your mail, I will send you

Thanks for sending me the file.
Actually, changing the file is easy, but I'm not sure how we can replace the system NvCustomize.apk after changing it. even if we sign it, it has to be with the original sign key, which I dont believe we have.
Anyone been doing this before?
Edit:
Actually, I did it with XPosed and a custom module that I wrote. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't want to usa a resource from the sdcard/internal storage, it has to be hardcoded in the app. Ill continue to look for a solution.

What is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads?
My /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache directory is 3.4GB, which is a major chunk of my internal storage, which is down to around ~768MB. Can I safely delete the contents of /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache?
I have so little internal storage that I can't complete app updates without going in and manually cleaning up cruft. And yes, I've moved apps to external storage and am saving photos and movies on it as well.
My thanks to those who take the time to help me with this.

Thank you for the reply!
On my phone I can't see this directory with my filesystem GUI of choice, X-Plore File Manager, but it's accessible from a terminal. which is how I discovered it was filled with over 3GB of cruft. I'm about ready to just clean the cache dir in that path and see what happens. :silly:

So, tired of waiting for input (except for you, robmeik. Thanks!) I decided to just clear the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache directory an pray it is just what it appears to be, a temp directory. Turns out, yes, that is all it is. I deleted the files and have suffered no deleterious effects.
Hi, Fat Rat Bastard. So sorry no one replied to you because I have the same issue. What happened when you deleted those large files? Did you android device even notice them missing?

You need a rooted phone and a root capable file manager to access that folder, android 101
