You shouldn't have any problems by deleting that folder. On my phone it's like 6mb.
In that folder are stored TTS languages, so I guess whenever you install a new TTS language it goes there.
As I've said, should be safe to remove.

I just found that folder contains some sort of tts files. Weird is, that when i open any file from there it it contains my past google searchs. For example. When i google "rambo movie" it makes new file in that folder and when i click on it it speech to me " rambo movie"

where are books stored

on the device the default ones that come on the phone ?
They are in /etc, but you can't just add new books if that is your intention.
You would have to edit some database, but I am not completely sure which one, and add a separate entry for every book.
Copying the books from the device works fine, they are epubs.
Edit: The database is /data/data/com.htc.ereader/databases/ereader.db
Edit2: I was just going to write a dirty little app that adds books to the database when I realized, that there is an "Import" function in the reader ;-;
Hello,
Can you tell me where is this book import, because my only visible options are to download and buy books from kobo.
Thanks in advance.
Switch to the list view of the books, press menu and select "Import Books"
My only options in this view are sort, delete and accounts. In any type of view don't have option like import or something wich add a book from the phone.
Maybe it changed in the Gingerbread update?
You can try my apk (attached).
In Gingerbread maybe is changed, but i'm with stock 2.2. Thanks about the apk but it says "cannot parsing the package"

A pity.
Well if you are rooted you can manually edit the database (/data/data/com.htc.ereader/databases/ereader.db) and add entries for your own books there.
I would recommend Root Explorer & SQLite Editor for this, but it is still very uncomfortable if you want to add a large amount of books.

[Q] Can you hide txt files in "MyLibrary"

I have some apps which use ".txt" files for configs - and so they show up in "MyLibrary" which is sort of annoying, and I can't just delete them.
Is there some way to hide them?

Does the .nomedia file stop MyLibrary from seeing the files in that directory?

Don't think so - I tried adding one and reboot, but it still shows up.

Dialer/contacts replacement

Hi, cm10.1 here.
I want to increase the free space on my system partition. Now Im looking for a dialer/contact app replacement.
Anyone got recommendations?
Also, this is critical, I need to know which /system apps/modules I can delete afterwards?
Thx and have a nice day.
one less gadget.
You can delete the CMWallpapers.apk (it's ~7MB).
Also, in the fonts folder, there are some big font files (for displaying the languages with different alphabets). Search for info about them:
DroidSansFallback
NanumGothic
MTLmr3m
If you don't need them, you can delete.
Also, you can delete some ringtones, alarms, etc.
Also, bootanimation.zip can be deleted.
And also video editor apk. Also install Google keyboard and delete latinime apk

I've heard that deleting dialler.apk breaks some things of the system. I recommend keeping the dialer.
EDIT - mediauploader.apk can be deleted if you don't use picasa. Calender can be replaced by the play store app. Browser, calculator,etc. can also be deleted if you use alternate apps. CMupdater, cmfilemanager,etc. can also be deleted. Live wallpapers, email, exchange, html viewer, phototable, development, stk, voicedialer, etc. can also be deleted.

Thx for your list, I was already through with most of those, will check more closely.
Trebuchet/ stock keyboard, are the biggest apps and the 1st things I delete after a new flash.
my system seems trimmed extensively already, so I thought about replacing the dialer, but you are right, seems to be a nogo.
Concerning the calender, titanium shows me a few calender modules in system, do you know if all of them could be deleted?

[HELP] Funky Files in Download Folder, Where Are They Coming From?

Nexus 6p on project fi, running DP5, systemless rooted, systemless AdAway.
For several months now, I've been seeing some rather odd files in my downloads folder, and have been unable to find any related search results anywhere so I'm finally asking for help. They are particularly odd since they are very small plain text files written in what looks like Chinese or Korean (or at least that's how they show up on solid explorer).
Furthermore, whenever I look at these files, the last-modified date is within the last 12 hours or so. Whenever I delete them, they simply return, sometimes within hours.
The only apps that I've allowed storage permissions are the following: Avast mobile security, Google camera, cardboard, chrome, device manager, Dropbox, FlashFire, Google keyboard, Google play music, Google play services, hangouts, LIMBO demo, google messenger, new pipe (for YouTube, not from play store), Google photos, Snapchat, Snapseed, solid explorer, titanium backup, and walloid.
I know it is not new pipe, since the problem existed before that was downloaded. I can't imagine it was one of Google's apps. Does anyone know what's going on, or has anyone experienced something similar?
How can I find the origin of these files? There's nothing in the metadata that's of much(any) help. Also of note, these files only show up when viewing the downloads folder with solid explorer, as opposed to the built in one through settings.
Tl;dr: odd, persistent, small, Chinese plaintext files in download folder, need to find out where they're coming from
one way to find the culprit would be to delete the files, uninstall one app a day and see if the files are re added to your download folder. If they are, you know the uninstalled app isnt the culprit. Rinse and repeat until the files stop showing up.

Are there any log files or something else I can pull to see internet traffic to see where it came from?

Oneplus Gallery app - filled with tons of icon pictures

Anybody know how to get rid of all the junk collection of non-photos in the Oneplus Gallery app. Or have a workaround in the stock software. The Gallery app shows photos taken from the camera app, and a " collection folder " at the bottom which stores a ton of garbage gifs of game screens, icons, etc that fill the folder.
Google Photos are NOT showing included in the Gallery app, and you can't share the Google pics from the photo app to text or share on facebook without saving them directly to another folder in app before sharing. .
If you open photos in facebook, the options are littered with like 1,000 gifs, of hearts, and emoticons, game screens, etc with the few camera photos mixed in from the Oneplus Gallery App.
I'd like to know where oneplus is storing these and wondering if I can get rid of the garbage " collection " folder or somehow replace that app as default to make the phone more usable for a family member. They love the phone but need facebook, and this is a major hangup for them that I'd like to help resolve. Can't find the folder with gallery folders with the explorer app I installed. They don't seem to be in DCIM. I may get my hands on phone this evening but any directions / solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks
I've noticed too so I'd appreciate it as well
still an issue.
It's been mentioned on Oneplus Website a couple times too. I searched the photo names ( long string of numbers ) and found the folder they were in. Deleted the folder and it got rid of a bunch, then deleted them individually. Slowed the problem but didn't stop it. Also tried to lock down the Gallery app from writing to phone with no luck.
Hoping they solve the problem pretty quickly with a software update or workaround. It's an annoying issue.
But I've not seen a resolution yet.

You should be able to create a file in the same directory as the icons named .nomedia (including the full stop at the start) using es file explorer etc. This informs android not to scan this folder for media files. I have had the same issue on previous phones in the past and this normally solves the issue. You may need to clear the data and cache from the gallery app to remove any icons already displayed after.

LOL well spotted. Corrected :good:
Found a solution that seems to be working
I did a factory reset - and chose not to transfer all apps / data / settings, instead downloading each individual app to phone along with manual setup. I also disabled the "Oneplus Gallery" app from writing to the phone in app settings, while grabbing a random Gallery app from Play store. So far, for the day, seems to be working. I'm seeing no stickers pop up on the phone.
< Crossing fingers >
I'd be happy if I can get rid of the "Recently Deleted" feature.

You're the man!! It totally worked as easy as that! I created one in the "Android\data" folder and directly on the "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.facebook.orca/files/stickers/" that's it they disappeared.
Thanks again
The .momedia thing was pretty funny, you can imagine doing that and then android doubles the trash, you did after all ask for... mo.
I delete all that with this app
