I'd like to put some PDFs on one of the homescreens on my Xoom. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot but it doesn't seem to have the capability built in. Could someone explain to me how to do this? I downloaded ES File Explorer and found the pdf in the download directory. I assume I can just cut and paste it to a directory and it will show up on a homescreen?

I do the same thing. We recently bought a house and everyone always as me for pictures and the floor plan. I created a pdf that I sent around, but it's useful to have it on the xoom to show people.
I have two suggestions, both of which I use:
1. Download Astro. You can then create a direct shortcut to any file including a pdf. Go to "+" --> More --> Astro. Browse to the file you want. The location depends on how you got the pdf onto the device. Since that file doesn't change, that works.
2. Use dropbox. This is good option for pdf's that change a lot. I often read weekly publications that I get in pdf. I created a direct shortcut to a dropbox folder. When I'm using my computer, I get and store pdf's there and use it as a "read later" option. Creating the dropbox folder is also in the "more" tab.
Both work for me pretty well. hope this helps.
to answer the OP android doesn't support files on the home screen like a desktop on windows or Mac
Two questions if anybody has any ideas.
1) Is there a way to prevent text files from showing up in the My Library application?
2) Is ther a way to prevent the Alice in Wonderland cover from showing up in the gallery? I would prefer to move the two files completely, but if I can't do that I would settle for something similar to .nomedia. The problem with .nomedia is its recursiveness. I want other things in the /sdcard root directory to still show up, but not cover art generated on every reboot from the My Library app.
If anybody knows how to solve one or both of these questions please give a reply.
Thanks,

Put the ebook files in another folder? The MyLibrary app scans for all folders for ebook files.
I tried putting the demo epub.epub into another directory along with the png cover. The problem is that on every reboot the My Library app seems to recreate them in the root of the sdcard directory.
I wish I knew how to get rid of Alice too. Its like the Newspaper bookshelf. I can't seem to get rid of that either
A stupid bug in S Memo deleted all my existing memos!!
To replicate this:
1. create two folders, say "folder1" and "folder2", and create a couple memo pages in each of these folders.
2. in root directory (i.e. "S Memo"), create a pile, say "pile1"
3. use Move function to move all pages in "pile1" into the folder "folder1". now only folders and an empty pile in root directory (but no memo in root directory).
4. at root directory long-press "pile1" to delete this empty pile
5. confirm at the message "The pile will be deleted"
6. all my existing memos, including those moved pages inside "folder1" and any other folders (including those protected with PIN) are now gone!!!
this bug (#6 above) happens when there are only folders but no memo directly in the root directory.

ok, thanks for the feedback, now i know what i shouldn't do.
Thanks for pointing this bug out.
How on earth did you find this? Is this something most S Memo users will encounter, or do we really have to look for it, like you did? Does this only affect rooted users?
I really don't want to find this bug. I noticed this bug because I lost all my memos while I was taking notes in a meeting!
ps. My device is not rooted, and I regret this. With root + titanium backup, I may have had my own backup.

I found TitaniumBackup to restore white sheets instead of notes filled with contents.

If so, maybe I should try sync with Google Doc, even though the content will be converted to an image.

Google note sync works great. Have been using it well .
Titanium works with S-Memo - somewhat

Just found out that if you open and edit a note the content re-appears - so it is saved and restored with Titanium, but has to be recreated from the dataset. I have so many memos that I wish there was a quicker way to restore them than to open each one.
Anyone tried saving them to a Dropbox folder?

Sorry.. wrong thread.. delete
@cyman777 Excellent find!
With the more recent software revisions S-Note can sync to Evernote by the way. Since I don't have an Evernote account, I cannot say if notes get converted to an image as (reportedly) the case when syncing to Google or if they get synced in their native format.

Though I have surprisingly lost all my notes TWICE as well, i tried to replicate the process as you described but all the folders & the files inside are still existing this time! Nothing has been deleted after deleting the last empty pile & while making sure there are no individual notes on the root! So i think this bug does exist, but may have nothing to do with single notes on root or not! Please advice if you have found an explanation or a solution to this serious problem!
Life changing!
This happened to me twice, resulting in me not wanting to use the S Memo app anymore.
Lost a good ~30 sketches the first time and a lot of notes the second time.
I cant trust this app anymore, and it was so close to being that one thing i always needed.....
What were you doing messing about with the root directory in the first place. Surely it's not a bug but more a user created error!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app.
root directory of S-Memo, not / (=root) in the filesystem structure. Hence an application bug, not a user created error.
Did any of you already report it to Samsung? Otherwise it wont get fixed anyway...
#Tapatalk #Galaxy Note
confirm
It just happened to me. 100 sketches and notes, neatly organised in piles, all gone. I am an architect so I sketch not just for fun. I have filled many physical sketchbooks over many years until last fall when my dream gadget was introduced by samsung, with S-Memo being the one killer application that tells the whole story of the device.
So the Note is a device that you can draw on with a pen and every now and then it deletes everything you drew.
I am running out of words for this.
- sync methods -
I just posted a similar sync alternative in one of my threads a few days ago, which can be used for S-MEMO as well:
This is my workaround for *in this case* S-Memo:
You need:
- A Dropbox account
- A Dropbox sync app like Dropsync (link)

Sadly S-Memo seems not to store the drawings in an easy to find folder (please tell me if i´m wrong!), Note Everthing makes it easier here...it places a folder on your SD Card, which contains every single note you take (JPEGs, textfiles, Soundfiles etc.).
What I´m doing is the following: Every here and then, I´m exporting my sketches in PDF converted files (just hit the menu button in the "root directory" of s-memo and you´ll see what I mean). Now all your sketches will be saved automatically to your s-memo folder on the internal SD card. And here the content of my thread again:
I´m autosyncing this folder to my Dropbox via Dropsync...and voila, here we are, I´m happy!

Of course, there is GDocs as well (and it works well)...but I like it more to have my sketches on my desktop when I´m at home without having to visit the browser and download my stuff again.
I tried to search the forums first so apologies if this was already asked/answered.
I use box.com for cloud storage (150 gigs free!). Lets assume I have a public folder with the link https://www.box.com/s/blawblawblaw is their a way to create a folder that points to it? Im not looking to sync as I have more stuff then room on the tablet. I know I can use various file managers to view the files with but thats now what I need. A example would be a ebook. I want moon+ to be able to view the folder containing my ebooks just like it can any folder on my actualy tablet I just want it to be able to do this from the cloud instead of local storage. Same idea for audio, vg roms and such. I believe dropbox had a feature like that built in. Thanx guys
Ok the issue im having is all my pics are together. All I iwant to do is organize them with folders. For example. I want to make a folder just for Family Pics. I also want to make a folder where I just put my friend pics in. Right now im running File Commander. It came loaded in the phone when I got it. I can go right to the picture button and all my pics are right there. But why cant I create folders to organize them. Its so simple. I can rename pics and do almost anything else except put them in seprate folders. Does file Commander not have this feature? Do I have to download a different program that stores all the files (sorry i dont know what you call the file commander program) All I want to do is organize my photos and put them in the proper folders so they are easier to find.
I am very new to this so please explain it clear and simple.
Download Quickpic. Much better and easier.

It's now also possible using the latest Sony Album app (7.0+), as stated in talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Album/creating-folders-for-photos/m-p/946641#M1515.
In Album --> Folders select one or more pictures from a gallery and choose 'move to' in the options menu. You can select either an existing or a new folder as destination.
