Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums but no luck for the S5 when it comes to finding the com.android.web directory. I know on previous galaxies It was located in the data/data directory but It's no longer there as well.
Anyone been able to find the directory? I've tried using root explorers along with searching hidden files and no luck..

I can't seem to find the folder where skins are located. I have looked in the system/app folder and the slate one is in there. I just can't seem to find the ones that I downloaded like memories and Chinese new year. Any ideas?
I messed up Chinese new year and it says I downloaded it but it's not showing up in the list, so I would like to delete it and redownload it.
I am running a2sd if that has any bearing on the problem.
try /data/app/. the name should be com.htc.skin.___.apk
if you are using a file manager (like Root Explorer) you could use search function in system folder
Hello!!!
i am another happy owner of the Ideos X5! New to android but i read a lot, before every step.
Here is one problem that i can't find a solution.
My device has preinstalled the app "Documents to go" v 2.5004 (748). I got the "documents to go" v 3.001 but i can't install it. :S
I used Root Uninstaller to uninstall the app, it said that the app is uninstalled, but i still can't install the newer version.
I got a message that says that the app is not installed.
what should i do? :S
with root explorer go into system/app folder and see if there is any trash of this app left... also check into data/data folder...
in the first directory there aren't any leftovers and the second is empty.
any other suggestions?
maybe you can use a new room?

that's the most difficult solution, for a simple problem.
finally i switched to OfficeSuite v4.0.351.
the portuguese model have the stock apps in the folowing path:
cust/tmn/pt
The "TMN" is the company name, soo you maybe have some like this.
You can go in this path and delete the apps with Root Explorer, Mount R/W and long press on the app and select Delete.
Sorry about my english
As syckopt says, you can delete the .apk files via Root Explorer, but the directories may vary depending on which carrier you have (and which country).
For example, my directory is: /cust/Dialect/SE/app
@ syckopt , sebgus
The Greek model has most of the stock applications at this directory: system/app/
while at the /cust/wind/gr/app/ there are only three (GreekPack.apk , Layar.apk and TouchPal.apk)
there are some applications, they say that they can "freeze" some stock apps. what exactly is freezing?
please check out and my other active thread: [Q] how to migrate to a new SD card?
thank you all for your help!

Freezing is basically the same as renaming the app or removing it. Its just allows to to unfreeze it (or rename it back to original name again), which is a lot easier than using something like root explorer.

oh, i see!
which is the best app to do this?
Hello,
I've got the same problem. As it is not possible to update the pre-installed Documents to Go via Google Play (I always get error -104) I uninstalled that app using Titanium Backup. But unfortunately, it is still not possible to install ANY version of Documents to Go. If I try to sideload the APK file, I only get "App was not installed". Google Play gives me various errors, mostly -4 or -104, refusing to install the app, either.
In System/apps, there is no remnants of Documents to Go as far as I can see, a directory named cust does not exist.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance and kind regards,

Guys,
Last night I attempted to create a .nomedia file for a folder that has Application generated pics that I want to hide from the Gallery App.
No problem in accepting the creation of the file but that's where it ends.... the .nomedia file does not display in any of my file management Apps inc My Files.
Later I then tried to copy from my Galaxy SII to the Galaxy Note over bluetooth a file named .nomedia
This time the Note refused to accept the .nomedia file
So... what is going on here?
It works fine on the SII but not on the Note!
Maybe it does not show hidden files. In linux any file that starts with a dot it's hidden.
You can try also in Terminal Emulator:
$cd /sdcard/desired_folder
$touch .nomedia
$ls -a #optional to check that the file is indeed created

Without checking, I would agree it does not show hidden files..
I suppose the question though is WHY??? It shows them on the Galaxy SII so I would have assumed it should be the same on the Note.
If this is the case, (without rooting) I now need to get the system to show hidden files.
EDITED:
Just tried using Terminal Emulator and it says "Permission Denied".
I can see hidden files using the "My files" app. Just need to enable "show hidden files" in settings.

I've already got that set on my Note but it's not showing hidden files.
I've also just tried again to create a file titled .NOMEDIA and it says "Operation Failed. Please use a different name"

I'm lazy, so I use Gallery Excluder from the Market - what happens if you try with that?

I've just created a .nomedia file.
It's working great on my SGS I9000.
I'm going to buy a Galaxy Note this afternoon, I'll test it and post my impressions.

That's weird. I just created a .nomedia file and it showed up fine. Let's use the Note's s-pen thingy to show what I mean .
How are you creating the .nomedia file? I just used
Code:
echo "" >.nomedia
.

I'll give it a go... purely to see what happens.
I don't like using additional Apps to do this ~ hence why I normally just use a .media file instead.
It will however allow me to hide the files until I sort this issue out.
EDITED: I've just come across 'Hide It Pro' which also does this and has excellent comments.

Hope you don't have issues like me. However I think there's something strange going on with my Note.
I'm going to Factory Reset it later tonight and try again.

Yes, I can see it is working for you.... As mentioned above, I'll try a Factory Reset later tonight and try again.
Well, I've done a Factory Reset and I don't know what was causing the issue but everything is now just fine.
Obviously an App had interfered with how the OS was handling hidden files.
Thankfully it happened in less than a week of running the Note.
Now I need to rebuild my App list slowly and see if any one of them recreates the problem... However, thinking about it I didn't enable show hidden files until after a few days of using the Note and I never checked after doing so that it did infact enable them. As such the problem App may have stopped hidden files from being deactivated.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was to rename the folder by adding a . In front of it. So rename the folder from FolderName to .FolderName and it'll stop searching the conté. Ts in that folder
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,
pb
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/

If you are rooted, use Root Explorer from the playstore.
I have used it for over 5 years and I have no problem opening and seeing all the files and folders on my s6 edge plus phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day.

You cannot upload the file from it's current location, copy the file into your internal SD card first.
If that don't work then make sure to check the attributes of the file is set to R/W READ & WRITE.
Also check your file manager's permission & attribute settings, it should be set to allow read & write.
Good luck, have a great day

i know this. but its r/w so it should work but it don't work fine,
but in the past i had it to that root browser don't copy the files completley (for example my account files) from sd card to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files so some one said to use solid explorer and that worked but now it is the other way arround, it copy fine to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files but not from there to sd card, it copy the files but i can not open them in a bin editor
Don't know why people are so happy with Root Explorer it's very nice but lacks a lot of features.
I've done these thing with Total commander without problems. Try that one.
ps blind me missed the part about Dropbox. Did you try to put it in (by example) your downloads folder and upload from there? Goodluck anyway!
