I loaded one of these ROMs and it had an amazing Files app that would allow me to go out and search my wiki Network for files on other computers. This was incredibly useful. I believe it was on fission. The problem is.... I need the Verizon Hotspot app that is Not on fission. Is there any way I could get the APk for the Files app?
Thanks in advance....
Matt
The files app you are talking about I am pretty sure is the motorola blur files app. The 3g app is also available on fission via the rom downloader along with the tether patches if you need those, so there are really 2 things you could do to get it:
If you prefer to use fission with it built in you can get the 3g app by:
1) re-install fission and the rom manager from their website
2) download and install the verizon 3g app and tether patches from the rom manager and install those
If you prefer to use another rom here is the Blur File Manager in a .zip. Just reboot recovery and install it as a .zip. No need to mount or anything as it will do that itself.
DISCLAIMER: I just pulled this file off my phone, so I have no idea if it will actually work or not (it may require missing libraries), you are downloading and using it at your own risk, but it should work.

You could also always grab a copy of some app like root explorer off the market which I think is better anyway!
EWE ROQUE!
Exactly what I needed!
Hi people, i hope you understand what I'm trying to say here
If you ever tried MIUI i think you were amazed by the File Manager pre-installed on it. I simply love it and I think MIUI is very nice ROM but it has a few bugs and it's missing some things that AOSP ROMs (like GingerVillain that I'm currently using) have...
But other AOSP ROMs don't have such excellent File Manager that MIUI has.
I'd like to see MIUI FM installed on my Desire (running GingerVillain ATM) but I don't know how to install it...
I tried extracting FileManager.apk from XJs MIUI and installing it, but it doesn't install.
Then I copied FileManager.apk inside GingerVillain installation .zip and flashing it. FileManager is installed, but i get FCs when I try to run it...
So, can someone 'port' MIUIs FileManager to other AOSP ROMs?
Or at least explain why not...
Anyone? Anything?

Try using root explorer to place it in system/app.
Thank me if i helped!
It works with MIUI framework only. If you need a good file manager, Ghost Commander is awesome.

there is always Root Explorer
any updates on this one?
the advantage of MIUI file explorer is transferring files via wifi. And I need this.
I use Samba file share for WiFi file management. 'bout the same just that it's not as fancy. Works great though.
I've Looked at many options and posts about this and so far as i understand it's not possible unless you are running on MIUI already due to missing Lib that you can't get due to MIUI being closed source.
But there is good news i found an app called star high speed file explorer that is basicly a clone of the miui without the FTP option

This does not have root !

ES explorer has rot? this option is experimental, but works fine for me.
If you like MIUI, why switch to another ROM?

I like ES File Explorer. I love it. The only problem is that it LAGS LIKE HELL when scrolling, at least on Sense ROMs (EVO 3D here).

Thank you for research . I was looking for a file explorer like Miui. This one is great !
I've moved from MIUI and miss the file manager.
In the reviews someone states this app sends text messages to international countries? The permissions for the app look dodgy too:
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money:
send SMS messages
Your messages:
read SMS or MMS
Network communication:
full Internet access
Your personal information:
read sensitive log data
Phone calls:
read phone state and identity
Storage:
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
System tools:
change network connectivity,
retrieve running applications,
mount and unmount filesystems,
make application always run,
prevent device from sleeping
Hide
Network communication:
view network state,
view Wi-Fi state
System tools:
kill background processes,
kill background processes,
force stop other applications,
automatically start at boot,
set wallpaper
Default:
delete applications
Any opinions?

I am using the above stated miui file manager ,but its very slow .
Original Miui file explorer for all roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
I was just wondering if there is some way to keep specific system files from being deleted while flashing a new ROM (at least when not doing a full wipe)?
For example, third party applications like "Theft Aware" or any other app that was manually converted to system app are deleted by the cyanogenmod update script (and of course, need to be re-installed from scratch)- Is there a way to add exclusion criteria or something like that, thus keeping these files between flashing updates of the same ROM?
Solution found
Found a solution for Cyanogenmod rom (I guess it should work in other variants and flavors too)- adding it just in case it is of interest to other users:
Got it from the old/inactive theft aware forum: http://tinyurl.com/d8vjkba
I tried it with other system applications that I have installed manually or converted from user apps- and it works great- saves all the hassle of reinstalling these applications (if you flash lots of nightly builds it's quite a pain in the... )
Hi all,
I recently flashed Koshu's unbelievable ROM which brought JB to the TPT. I am using v. 0.8.1 at the time of writing.
Naturally, I lost all the Lenovo stock applications which came with the TPT. I especially miss the USB transfer app which would allow for transferring documents between a USB drive and the TPT
[The question]: Is there any way to restore the stock lenovo applications to the tablet? I know that the original image must be on the TPT SOMEWHERE seeing as doing a factory reset will re-load all apps.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Some of these preinstalling and normally free to find in PlayStore APKs are even still on your TPT, because they are seperated into two locations:
1. The preinstall APK files you metioned and you and everyone else should still have are in /mnt/pia/. like the preinstalled games, media players, readers and business thingies.
2. The System APK files which were in /system/app/. like NotesMobile, all those Lenovo Widgets, USB FileCopyUtility etc
system
I will upload the latter one first. Copy what you want to /system/app/. and be sure that all permissions are the same as the ones of all other system APKs already being there and have fun. If someone deleted the ones in /mnt/pia/. out of whatever reason I upload them if asked for, too.

Yes, the USB-transfer-utility can (most likely but not definitely) be installed onto a 3rd-party ROM.
The question is do you need to? Any decent "explorer" app (e.g: Root Explorer) can see the contents of a connected USB (look in /mnt/usbdrive) and copy files on/off it.
Most of the Lenovo stock apps are clunky bloatware. Plenty of far more functional apps are available on Play.

youre welcome. the tpt community needs every helping hand. we are not that big.
one thing more. there are rumors that the tool won't find the usb device. keep me updated. maybe we find a solution for that too.
Ok, so a few observations here:
1) The USB transfer tool will only disaply /sdcard, and none of the other mounts. So to say, that the full size sd-card reader does not appear in the app, nor does media attached to the full sized USB port. Both drives however can be found using ES-FIle explorer
2) Any idea where that launcher widget is? I have searched EVERYWHERE for it. I am talking about the stock widget that has links for movies, music, books, browser etc. I miss this widget above all else.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you again!

A few suggestions:
1) Wipe your "Play Store" cache
2) Which version did you install? Maybe try one of the other files in the linked file.
3) Download "Papyrus Beta" from the Play Store--it has Lenovo digitizer support for the TPT and is an amazing application. Optimized for ICS and JB (I believe)

I tried to wipe the "Play Store" cache with no luck.
I am using the stock version.
I really like how NotesMobile translates the writing into text.

It could that NotesMobile is in some way locked to the Lenovo ROMs. It makes sense that they would do this since its an OEM app and not available elsewhere.
NotesMobile has a large number of language-specific data files associated with it (also found in that file emuandco linked to here). It's worth copying all of these across to /system/apps too before writing this off.
@jakymiwm: NotesMobile isn't the only "Notes" app with handwriting recognition. WritePad can do this too ... albeit in a different manner.

It may very well be dependant on the Lenovo ROM. Write pad is good. The only issue I have with it, is the interface. Actual functionality is great though!

I did move all the files over. The only thing I didn't do is change all of the permissions. I made sure I changed the main app and the en_.. apps.
I also tried to change the build.props to see if that could help. It did not. It must be looking at the SDK version. I can't change that without getting into a boot loop.

When you say you changed the 'build.prop' file, did you modify the string which sets the OS version? I feel like this is a framework issue....
I changed everything in the build and product area except for the SDK version. If I change the SDK version the tablet will boot loop.
Going back to my original question: any ideas on how i can restore the stock lenovo homescreen widget? i am talking about the one which looks like a flower, and contains shortcuts for music, books, photos and browser. if not, does anykne know of a decent alternative????

That's a good question. It should be /system/app as that's where the all other widgets are (Lenovo Bookmarks / Lenovo Mail / etc). But I can't see anything that stands out obviously. The official name is "Lenovo Launch Zone" if that helps.
It might be that Lenovo shoehorned it into the default ICS launcher (Launcher2.apk). Or perhaps it's in one of the preinstall apks. You could try them one by one until it appears.

Here's the one from my /system/app (stock ROW OTA3.5).
I suspect this isn't it but you're welcome to try anyway.
EDIT:Having a look through the graphics elements within Launcher2, it appears that it may actually be the location of that widget. I don't know how it will play in CM10 as I think that uses Trebuchet as it's launcher. Using Lenovo's launcher may break things.

Whats up everyone? Have a few questions here. I am trying to make myself a "Secure" ROM. Meaning I want a ROM that has no Google related services,apps, browsers, etc. From that point I will sideload all apps I want and also run Orbot with transparent proxying for all apps that I install. Also running Orweb browser. I have now my old Galaxy Nexus which I have been using. Basically I just installed a custom ROM without any GAPPS package and run the same apps I listed earlier. Just want a bigger screen and more power though. Anyone have any idea what all would need to be removed from the base ROM that Beanstown put out to completely NOT have any Google related things ?
