Hi,
I recently set up my new phone and copied from my oneplus 6.
Everything worked well but the filemanager from op6 is somehow transfered and I cant remove it, and I cant find it among the apps.
The app is inactivated so I guess it doesnt disturb anything but it would be nice to get rid of it.
And also, I need suggestions on what filemanager-app to use. (to be able to for example, transfer from drive to phone.)

Xplore by lonelycatsgame is a great dual pane file manager and all I've ever used for years.
Are you sure it was transferred from the OP6 and not the Android default file manager? It's called just "Files" (with a light blue folder icon), as opposed to the "Files by Google" (bloatware) application.
I was asking about the same thing in another thread, because the Google app really sucks, and I couldn't figure out how to get the default file manager to show up in the app drawer. Personally I'm using Material Manager at the moment. Have to give Tulsadiver's suggestion a try as well now.

I have tried using an app called, "Files Shortcut" from the playstore. Which essentially launches the same Files app. Instead of using actibity launcher, this has been a solution for me. You could try this.

Oh perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for, as the default file explorer is totally good enough for me. It's lightweight, sleek and it can handle network storage, which Files by Google can't! Thanks for the tip!
Thanks.
The same goes for me.
Thanks everybody for your input.
Solid explorer is my choice. Have used it for many years. Never found anything better. Dual pane, supports cloud storage.

Ok so back when i had my tp2, i had this wonderful app called Wifi Remote Access that allowed me to connect to my wifi and computer and transfer files through my file explorer on my pc through wifi? And it was called ftp support, no i found an app on the market called ftp file expert or just file expert and dont know how to get my computer to do what the windows mobile app did?
Anyone know what i can do to make it so i can transfer files through my file explorer on my computer so i can copy paste and mange files on my phone?
Or another app?
Thanks

I use wifi file explorer to move stuff to and from my phone. It isn't as slick as showing up in your file explorer, but it gives you web access from any computer on the network.

Ya its only that folder too? Oh well maybe if i take thos folders in that one and move it to another? also it might be because i got a wifi error saying no connection on the app however it works fine and that is the only folder that wont open, i guess ill try reseting my router see if that fixes the error?
btw sorry the pic was so small, damn xda and there small pic attachments lol
I was having trouble finding decent (HD) or there abouts wallpapers for the d2. Im about to sbf and cant seem to locate my current wallpaper again on the web, when I got it, I just long touched on the screen and chose save as wallpaper. Trying to backup all my stuff and for the life of me I cant find this dang file on my phone/sd card. Anyone know where its located? Thanks.

I'm curious where/how the wallpapers are stored as well. Just for kicks, I went to Google Images, searched dragon, and pressed and held a file named red-dragon.jpg, then selected Set as Wallpaper. Using Root Explorer, I went through every folder on my phone, excluding the ~/sdcard, searching for "red-dragon," ".jpg," and "dragon.jpg." None of which gave me any results.
So, sorry to say, but I think the D2 really likes to hide your wallpaper. :/
Did you know that you can actually google how to boil water? In any case, google is your best friend. Rarely picky and almost never down...anyways, back to topic:
I recommend googling: current wallpaper location android. The first hit helped me a little bit into it. It seems there is this folder called data that you can only access once you rooted your device. Since Im in no need to do so and myself new to android I leave you to do whatever you want with this information.
Im also sure that you will need a root file explorer...only guesses though.

Maybe you were too busy being smug to read my post, so I'll just give you the tl:dr version.
I searched through the entire /data folder with Root Explorer for ".jpg" and found nothing when I was using a "red-dragon.jpg" as my background.
Thanks for your mastery of searching on Google though.
I am not rooted but whenever I save wallpapers from the internet on my phone they end up in a folder titled downloads..that shows up in my gallery and when I look at mt sd card..check to cee if you have a folder titled that as well

I think the system puts things like that in a database file. I have my walpaper of a picture I took but it is no where on the phone. It is defined in an xml file but where actually stored i think it is in a DB file. Sorry I can not make the "thumb keyboard" do commas.

I'm going to investigate this hunch further. I'll search the /system folder for all .xml files or database files. I can't say I'm an expert on the matter though, so... No promises on results.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but if others stumble on this like I did, here's the answer. in the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ folder there is a file called wallpaper (no extensions). it is actually a jpg file (if you copy it somewhere else and add a .jpg at the end you'll be able to see it)
@tsachi Here is my question: I would like all these lovely wallpapers I downloaded to show up in the dialog when I press Menu...wallpaper then hit the wallpaper button. The same default papers are always there and I would like to move my downloaded wallpapers to where ever that is.

Thanks tsachi. I was able to confirm this. I couldn't see the contents of /data with ES File Explorer, but I was able to do this through adb:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.settings/files/
cp wallpaper /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg
exit
exit
Then I was able to look at it in any image viewer.
Not directly related, but I used adbWireless so that I wouldn't need to connect the usb cable and I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper as my wallpaper switcher.

Hey there,
I wanted to set my Wallpaper manually to avoid cropping when choosing a file in the gallery.
On my Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.1 the wallpaper is found at:
"/data/system/users/0/wallpaper"
The file has no ending but is a jpg file (as sad by others).
If you want to exchange the file with yours remember to set the right permissions.
I dont know exactly how they have to be, but if you give all users at least read access it should work.
After a reboot the new Wallpaper should be set.
My wallpaper now has a resolution of 3966x2560 and there are no black bars anywhere. The system seem so crop it on the fly.
Confirmed on JB 4.2, the location is
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper
Copy wallaper to somewhere else and change its extension to wallpaper.jpg and you are done.

Hello Everyone,
I have this strange question/concern. I was using my phone today, opened up my browser to goto google and I noticed in the left corner, that icon that shows you are downloading a app. I thought this to be weird, so I clicked on the top task bar and it said the file completed downloading and it was called "babylon9_setup.exe".
This freaked me out, so I went to settings, then applications, then manage applications...clicked on the downloaded tab...and that file was not there!
So, next I went to root explorer, then to "sdcard" folder, then scrolled down to the "download" folder...and the "babylon9_setup.exe" file was there.
I searched on google but could not find anything. I have deleted it, but this has me thinking, if its possible someone might have control of phone and they downloaded this app to my phone.
So...two things. What is this app "babylon9_setup.exe" and is it possible someone has control of my phone. If answer is yes, how can I tell?
Thanks so much for any help,
Brian

You're wise to be suspicious. I read an article that said that by getting you to download a simple file a remote user can access any file on the phone as long as they have the path/filename.
This happened to me when trying to download an mp3 from an untrusted source. They changed my google account password.
I would restore a nandroid backup and change your google account password just to be safe.
I'll try to find the article.

You can't. Also, if you put apps into folders, they will mysteriously move outside again after while, so don't even bother. Maybe they fix this some day.

Samsung was a bit shortsighted on that one and didn't build something like that in their launcher. My workaround for this is the following procedure: go into edit mode, grab the folder you want to edit to a new empty page and than delete the folder. The apps in it will populate the new page and you can re-add them to a new folder in your desired order, than re-add the new folder. If you want a more convient way for this try GO Launcher EX from market. It handles folders much more user friendly.As a note: You'll not be able to use any of samsungs widgets with any of the alternative launchers though.

I never have had something like that happening. Did you uninstall/install an app? In that case it looses its place in the folders.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yea it sucks that we have to use such a long proceduren.. I quite like to organise apps in folders..

So, I know we are still a long way off from a real root solution, given the locked bootloader issue. However, would there be some way to get root at least until a reboot. I've got a couple of apps that I can't live without, and as I am about to get my S7 Edge, I am getting concerned.
Top of the list:
1. Titanium
2. Ad blocker
Use AdGuard, NetGuard or Block-This for ad blocking, works just as good. going without TiBu sucks though.

Package Diabler Pro on Google Play is an excellent program that you can use to disable aps you want to 'freeze". Not as good as Titanium Backup but a good secondary choice

Not sure if it was a bad install, but I tried Block-This last night and it worked great, until I restarted my phone. I couldn't swipe left or right on home screen, and couldn't access app drawer. I had to uninstall it by pulling down from top and going into settings then app management. As soon as I uninstalled all was working again.

It's a virtual VPN. Your data doesn't go through anyour outside servers. It just let's you use a HOSTS file without root. Personally I use NetGuard. I had issues with Block this.
