Trying to do a clear up and organise un-needed files on my Phone & my SD-Card

What is the best way to roganise my phone?
I plug in my phone and all i see are folder's after folder's and file's after file's
totally, unorganised it looks a complete mess and to be honest i dont even know what most of the files are for as well as folders.
102 items in the root of my phone & Sd-Card, am trying to tidy it up,
I want all my music in a Music folder as apposed to 3 which I have Music, Music Junk & Music_online , its really unorganised. Photo's and Video's need to be organised as well.
So i have applications that create folders in the root. , can i not add a folder called Applications, and then the apps will create folders in their or somthing?
Anybody got any idea's and will i be ok to delete most of these folders and files?
Thanks

I too find it a complete mess, although I have organised my media folder. Here's what mine looks like right now...

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Thanks for the reply, I had a LOT more than that in my list haha, so what i decided to do was just backup my music / photos / apps (.apk) / video's and format my card, then place the backup back .

I've rooted mine so think some of what's on there will be needed, so I'll just have to put up with it. I've had to flash it 5 or 6 times already by tinkering, only had it a week too lol.

How to get Worms from EA on your tablet

First, get the game on your Phone!
If it's not available in your country, you can change your operator with Market Enabler (to T-mobile for example) and one of the 3 versions listed by EA will become compatible with your phone.
Run Worms and let it download it's database in sdcard/android/data/com.ea.worms_NA_vzw
Create a folder called com.ea.worms_na if it's not there already and paste the content from the one above inside it.
You should now have an identical content in the two folders and the same size ~34mb each.
Then locate your worms.apk file (com.ea.worms...).It should be in or data/app; if it's not go to your program manager and select "move to phone".
Then paste the folders in sdcard/android/data on your tablet and worms.apk anywhere you like and install it.
Voila, you have worms! Don't forget to say thanks if you enjoy this game too
Let's see how long it takes for EA to "port" since the only thing that's not in place is the cross-hair, it's a little too big but the game is totally playable.

ill try (did this on my nook) but since the last update the game doesnot even start up

Make sure you have the two folders synched right, the app is bugged and doesn't do that by itself.
If anything else fails, delete the folders, uninstall, start over.

I use a Appkik Backup to get the .apk, then I email it to myself from the phone.
On the tab, I download the app and install it from email.
Same process, but easier (the backup .apk's are always in the same folder) and it's wireless. Plus some paid apps are hidden.
Then occasionally I will plug my phone into my PC and make a copy of the backup folder. Then all apps are on my PC should I clean sweep and want to reinstall all of them.

I have tried this several ways, but it tries to download the files to support and then says unsupported device. Any suggestions?
OK - after playing around I finally got it to work. Do I need to install anything to get the sound to work? No luck here.

Turn off Dolby.

Been getting touch screen issues with 3.1 custom roms. Have to check around more.
Please try a round and report.

[Q] What's installed & how do I update it?

Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?

Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.

Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.
sent from my phone using my fingers

Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot

[Q] Recovery Photos after System Wipe in Stock Recovery

Hi,
I'm very desperate and I know I should've backed up everything but now I'm in a situation where I'm wondering if there's any way to mount the block and recover my photos. Please let me know. I would really appreciate it.
I'm on stock Lollipop with root.
Thanks in advance.
I've tried this but I can't tell what I'm doing wrong; I know I'm getting warmer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

I got pretty far but still aren't able to recovery anything from DCIM. Is that separate from userdata partition? Does anyone know?

Trying new route via:

Well, you could try some "deleted files recovery app" from google play.
The photos might still be there somewhere. If not overwritten by some other file that needed that space.

Right now, it appears that DCIM is not on the same partition as "userdata". On my i9505G, the userdata partition is mmcblk0p28. I was able to restore other photos on the /sdcard but none of the DCIM files. I feel like these files might be stored on a different partition but unable to find any reference online. Anyone have ideas?

All I know is that the s4 uses its internal storage to emulate an sdcard.
And this causes problems with some apps, like apps2sd. Maybe it also causes your issue.

NSTwG "testgossamer" factory partition folder?

I've been looking into the "factory" partitions of the Nooks I have in my family and on 3 out of 5 units I have noticed one folder (testogossamer) and one file (mfg_update.zip) more, that on the rest of the units. If I understand correctly, this is a quality control leftover. Am I right? Is it a common and well known thing? Or should I upload those files somewhere for others to see if there is something useful there?
This is a gallery of the .pgm (converted to jpeg for the online gallery) and .jpeg files that I found there and a screenshot of some of the others: http://imgur.com/a/Q05ca#0

You can, for example, prepare the Noogie microsd card (burn the image on the card, however I am not quite sure that the term "burn" is proper in English for that). Then power on the Nook with that microsd inside and plug it into your PC. With a properly prepared Noogie microsd you should see a "Rooted Forever" screen on the Nook, and all the partitions on your PC available to see.

One of recent topics reminded me about this, and I finally got to upload those unusual files. For everyone interested, they can be found here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!bxRmEbwC!DK3iJWyFfwBTwa-SEv0DzQ If anyone know how to run tests connected with all those result message pictures, I would be very grateful for an explanation.
