I just downloaded a picture from an email
I went to /sdcard/download and there it was.
Something weird must be happening on your phone then.

are you actually downloading the file or just clicking on preview from the email apk

Attachments are not downloaded until you hit download. The they will go to sd/download/.

Clicking preview ! < open button >
I see the little droid with da clip ! I click on open , I don't see any "download" option in the menu .
So... I asume it's already downloaded ! but not where you all say guys !
edit : I changed from built-in to k9mail .. and now is working fine .. they are saved at /sdcard (root)
Thank You all for the help , maybe YES ... something is wrong with my built-in mail !

Clicking Preview doesn't download.
Also, I think only certain files can be downloaded.
I just tested with a .RAR file attached to an email and there was no Preview button and no Download button.
With a jpg attached, there were both buttons.
It's probably a security feature, so you can only download certain file types...

Yeah , must be that ... ( I sent to myself an .apk file )
Mystery Solved then !
Thanx again Paul ! and all of you guys !

anytime... FWIW, you can just change the extension to .jpg or .txt and you should be able to download it then. once you have it downloaded just change the extension back to .apk or .zip
actually... not too sure if you can change extension file types on the phone...

Good idea !
I had this problem .. found some apps ( .apk ) and wanted to install them ..
BUT .... I forgot the usb cable @ home ... so decided to email them , and then I had the second problem .. where da fu... are the "downloaded" files ???
So... I found the websharing app .. OMG .. what a great tool "online SDcard" using wifi ( maybe I'll buy the app to have full features )
And got the job done ! Files @ my SDcard ..
Finally .. I tried to replicate the same email problem using K9Mail ... but I did get the "save" option
That s the whole Tale !

How To Change Bootanimations And Boot Sounds !

HOW TO CHANGE BOOTANIMATIONS AND BOOTSOUNDS !!
*The size 7 looks funky eh? *
Ok, so this thread is a tutorial on how to change the bootanimations and bootsounds on our beloved LG - Optimus One/P500..(You had already guessed that, had'nt you? ) .. Basically I will start from scratch so this thread can be easily understood and appreciated () by everyone including newbies to Android ('n00bs' is racist, isn't it ?) ..So here goes...
PRIMARY REQUIREMENTS
1) First and foremost 'BRAINS' .. Please read and re-read the thread carefully before asking any stupid questions.
2) A Rooted Phone. Use any one click application such as z4root or gingerbreak to root your phone. There are many tutorials on the net for that matter.
3) A file manager (Installed on your phone) with the ability to R/W (Read/Write) .. Such as Root Explorer (Highly Reccomended) ,File Expert..etc..
4) ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING ANY OF THESE METHODS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOTANIMATIONS
1) Download any bootanimations online (or create one using the link below) and make sure they are of '.zip' format. Please see the links below this section.
2) DO NOT extract the file. Simply rename the file to 'bootanimation.zip' (without the quotes).
eg: if your file name is xxxxx.zip ,change it to bootanimation.zip
3) Connect your Phone to the computer ,turn on usb mass storage and copy paste the file onto your sdcard. You can place it anywhere, but just remember to keep track of it. Turn of usb mass storage and disconnect.
4) Go to Root Explorer and move your file to data/local (put it in the 'local' folder) or system/media. The location of the bootanimation varies with ROMs . Wherever you see the old bootanimation.zip file, put it in that folder. If a file with the same name already exists, replace it with the new file and move the old file onto your sdcard. (Thats your old bootanimation)
5) Reboot
STFU and enjoy your new bootanimation !
NOTES :
If the file you downloaded from the net is already named 'bootanimation.zip' you do not need to re - rename it. (That was obvious, wasn't it ?).
Also you could also rename the file using root explorer and not neccesarily using the PC. Its really upto you.
If you want to download some bootanimations go HERE
P.S. My personal favourite is Transformer Bootanimation by aspee.
You can create your own bootanimations using this tool.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOTSOUNDS
1) Ok, for this process you need a sound file, preferably a '.wav' file, but any will do ... You could download them from the net (Google ) or you could just choose any file from your PC, its really up to you.
2) Now you need to convert the sound file to a '.mp3' format..A fast and easy way to do this is by going out here and following the instructions on screen. You could also use any other audio converters but everyone has their own preference.
3) Change the name of the converted file to 'PowerOn.mp3' ('P' and 'O' capitalized)
eg: change the name from xxxxxxx.mp3 to PowerOn.mp3
4) Connect your Phone to the computer ,turn on usb mass storage and copy paste the file onto your sdcard. You can place it anywhere, but just remember to keep track of it. Turn of usb mass storage and disconnect.
5) Go to Root Explorer and move your file to system/sounds/lgeSounds (put it in the 'lgeSounds' folder). If a file with the same name already exists, replace it with the new file and move the old file onto your sdcard. (Thats your old bootsound)
6) Reboot
Your smiling, ain't you ? Enjoy the new bootsound.
FOR CYANOGENMOD USERS
1. Download this shell script here bootsnd.sh
2. Place it on the root of your SD card & then open Terminal & type the following
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
3. Now by using a file manager program with R/W (Read/Write) go to the /system/bin in your phone & make sure the file has transfered over! It should say BOOTSOUND & have permissions set to rwxrwxrwx! for this I use Root Explorer or you can use File Manager once you have selected R/W
4. Before transferring your sound file over rename it on your pc, android_audio and make sure it is a .mp3 file. Transfer the sound file from your pc to the root of your SDcard. Now move your sound file you want to play when the phone boots to /system/media of your phone & rename it android_audio you will have to be in R/W mode! Typically fifteen seconds is plenty long and just perfect, however anything over 30 seconds will get cut off.
5. Reboot & enjoy your new BOOTSOUND B)

Thank him for this.
Shell script download -> Clcik Here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES :
1) Yes. These animations do work on custom roms. You do not need to do anything else as stated elsewhere by other articles.
2) Always make a backup before doing new things.
3) If you still have a problem then you see that reply box below..Well yeah, fire away !
4) Utilize the THANKS button. That was made for a reason
THANKS AND CHEERS !!

Umm well..if you do have the 'lge sounds' folder then it will definitely work.
And yeah you dont neccesarily need to use your PC everytime..As long as your sound file is 'PowerOn.mp3' You're good to go !
Sometimes, instead of converting the file to mp3 format you could just rename your file to 'PowerOn.mp3' but I personally have experienced that only renaming the file doesn't work always i.e it works sometimes and sometimes doesnt..But converting AND renaming it is a sureshot method
Please tell me whether it works for your optimus V..

I followed the tutorial and I couldn't make the boot sound to work. I followed everything by the book. I don't know what to do.

The method works for sure..I tried it on Mik'o Void which IS a CM ROM..
Make sure u convert the file to an mp3 format and also rename it to android_audio.mp3. Before using the terminal emulator to use the script, go to root explorer and click on mount r/w and you are good to go.
This is the reference :
deaver_92 said:
To start go to
/system/etc/unit.local.rc
and open it in the text editor. Delete everything from
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start###
to
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Stop###
Delete any instances of it.
Next go to /system/bin/ and delete the file bootsound.
Now go to /system/build.prop and open it in the text editor. Scroll all the way to the bottom and delete any instance of
ro.config.play.bootsound=1.
Now delete build.pro this is an error in the bootsound script. If you don't have this file don't worry about it.
Now open the bootsnd.sh file you downloaded and scroll to the bottom. Find the line that reads
echo ' ' >> /system/build.pro
and add a p at the end so it reads
echo ' ' >> /system/build.prop
and then save and exit.
Now open terminal emulator and type in:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
Now go to /system/bin/ and verify that the file bootsound was created and make sure it has full permissions.
If all is well place android_audio.mp3 in /system/media/ if it isn't there already. Reboot and enjoy your bootsound!

Gotta say, this worked like a charm! Now I have to decide which one I like best. The Transformers one would be awesome if it had a corresponding sound file simliar to the movie sound of heavy metal joining into its shape!
Thanks again for the share as well as the awesome tutorial!

Well, the bootanimation is actually a series of PNG images which are displayed in quick succession. The fps actually depends majorly on the number of images.
If u wanna create ur own BAnim there are many threads on XDA for that matter.

Modern Combat 4 data not copy

hey guys i just came across a problem that I cannot copy the main obb data file and the patch to the given path. Every time i try to copy it to the phone it gives error " the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" and this error comes only in the obb folder other then that i can copy the file in any other folder.I formated my cell and also tried all ways i could to copy this files but failed. does anyone have this prob or is there any solution to this ???? In the instructions there is written non root and offline from where i downloaded the game so what does that mean? and is that the reason for files to not get copied as my cell is rooted.

[Q] Two Questions About the Google Nexus 7 (2012/32GB/Only WLAN)

Hello! I've got two questions that i've not been able to find on the whole XDA-Forums!
My First Question:
1.Is there ANY way to restore lost data under the followwing conditions?
· Crappiest AndroidVersion: 4.4.2/Kot49H
· Locked Bootloader, No Root
·Ahh, damn! Forgot what! I hate forgetting something! <---this text will be replaced by the conditions by edit or quote...
2. Wuestions about the AndroidManifest.xml
>Where is the Location on the device? For Free+Padi+System Apps
>Is there a way to back up ALL Android Manifests? (Free+Paid+Sýs - Applicationets) - ?
>
I searched for „Manifest" on the „ES File Explorer" in the Rôôt-Directory. 0 Results. But „AndroidSysteemInfo was /is able to display REALLY ALL AndroidManifests for all free and system and even the paid apps!

With the word „location" i mean the fldr (folder)path on the device.
In other words: Where can you find „AndroidManifest.XML" of a Free App on with ES File Explorer.
Where can you find „AndroidManifest.XML" of a Paid App on with ES File Explorer?
Where can you find „AndroidManifest.XML" of a System App with ES File Explorer?
I mean the File Path.
For Example: The Path of the Windoes-Explorer Application on Windows XP/Higher:
Usually the Operating System Does Being Stored on the C:\ Drive so=
C:\Windows\eXplorer.ExE
(I did edit this post. Before the EDIT the link wasn't working and looked like THIS: C:\Windows\eXplorer.ExE
