[Q] files folder in app drawer - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, sorry if this has been posted before
my brother just got a desire today and i put doodle jump on it from my laptop but we cant find the files folder where i put it
my galaxy s has a 'my files' folder in app drawer where all music and apps download to but we couldnt find anything like that on his desire, just wondering if we are missing something
he downloaded astro file manager aswell but couldnt find it through that either
thanks

How have you moved Doodle Jump to the phone?
You have to download a File Manager like OI File Manager and install the .apk from there.
Or just download Doodle Jump from the market...

i moved it to his sd card when it came up on computer but cant find where it is to install
he searched for it with astro file manager but it said nothing found
is IO any better ??

Maybe you can try to copy it again to the SD-Card.
No it isn't that much different.

Problems Updating Library In Win Media Player From The Micro Sd Card

It finds all the files when I select to update the library. But when it tries to add them, the the status bar stays frozen and then it doesn't add it to the songs to the library. When I had windows mobile 5, I never had this problem. I have the At&t Version 8525. I can still open the folder and play it though. Small problem, but it bugs me. Anyone know what is going on?
Delete the WDRM folder from the memory card than try again.
solution
using the file explorer delete MSMETADATA folder in the store card on the root directory.
many thanks guys.........
just a small thing, by default the MSMETADATA and WDRM folders are hidden
so you'll have to set your pc to show hidden files, or you could use an alternative browser (such as total commander) on your ppc
try reading the wiki next time. the solution to this problem is in there.
EDIT: heres link to page in wiki about this:

accessing the internal memory on pc

hi,
i recently got the xperia play for christmas and i want to play my psone games on it. so i got the PSXperia tool but requires to get a .apk and .zpak files, which are in the internal memory, which i cannot access through windows explorer. is there a tool that allows me to access this? its an unrooted phone, on 2.3.4
thank you
AFAIK none of the instructions @ https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki require you to access the internal memory.
Urrr...not on the website...on the actual application though
"You need to extract some files from the Crash bandicoot apk that came with your Xperia Play
The APK is either com.sony.playstationblahblahblah.apk or com.sony.playstation.blahblahblah.apk in the system/app folder of your android phone's INTERNAL MEMORY"
So I can get the ZPAK from the SD card, however I cannot get the APK. Help?
You should be able to use adb pull to get it
(Do a temp root with zergRush if you have to).
Sorry Im a noob could you explain what those are and how you do it?

no.
this is what wrong with the Internet. people expect to be told everything.
many threads in Xda on how to do it or perhaps Google how to use adb to pull files
rant over.. this wasn't personal

Download Astro File Manager from the Android Market. Launch the app and find the directory where the APK file is located, which is in "/system/app".
Press down on the APK file and tap on "copy". Then go back to your SD card and paste it there.
^^ This was the fastest way I was able to get that APK file.

apk location

Hello, I installed a rom on my htc s one, miss the application location is very useful to me where I can find it?
I think it's somewhere in /system/apps folder I'm not sure what one you want but inside that folder find either "HtcLocationService.apk" or "LocationPicker.apk" or "Locations.apk" or "LocationsInstaller.apk"
ops ... sorry I realized now that I sbalgito section, I had to post one htc s! However, the same thing ...
else is not the system folder, you can not find location ES I use file manager.

[Q] Cannot delete contents in extSDcard

So I recently found out that I cannot delete the contents within my SD Card, worked before.
I have tried it with the stock file explorer from samsung and ES file explorer. What happens is that I try to delete it, it disappears, then I load up the file manager app again and the files are there!
I can load up these files no problem (video files and everything plays well)
Does anyone know any way to fix it?

Download, " Folder mount" from google play, it will detect a faulty SD card & will fix it, reboot, you will have again a functional Ext. SD Card.

cant find my CWM Nandroid backups ?!

Ok so I just rooted my S3, 4.4.2 Boost Mobile phone. Worked fine. No problem rooting it. Made a backup using CWM and then I installed Philz recovery and also made another back up. In recovery it shows BOTH backups, and says they are located in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
then in individually named folders of the backups.
HOWEVER, when I look using ES File Explorer, I only have the clockworkmod folder, and it does NOT contain any other folders, no "backup" folder at all.
Ok, so let me try the Aroma File manager. Same thing if I go to /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/ there are two very small files:
".last_install_path", and ".recovery_version".
HOWEVER, I am able to navagate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and THERE I find the backup folder with my two backups.
Why can I not find this folder from android? Even when I use STORAGE ANALYZER and tell it to look at the system parttions and even when I use ES FILE MANAGER and tell it to do an SD CARD ANALYSIS, it doesn't show these backups. So I have copied a backup to the download folder of the sdcard and am hoping to copy it over to my PC before flashing a new ROM.
NOTE: I do NOT have an external SD Card installed yet.
I just thought this is super strange. ?? Anyone have any idea? Thanks.
Now after booting into Android and looking into the folder I copied to /Download, the folder is empty.. !?!? I'm SO LOST right now....
It SHOWS that space is missing on my device so these files DO EXIST SOMEWHERE but SOMEHOW it's as if they are being hidden... is it knox???
Ok if I use "MY FILES" I can see the folder that I copied to /Download and the files in it, but NOT if I use ES File Manager, and NOT if I use Root Explorer. However even MY FILES still shows clockworkmod dir as empty!?
Ok so it turns out it has something to do with a permissions issue. Why is that? I run Storage Analyzer and when I try to click on the recoveries I copied to /Download it tells me that I don't have permission for that folder. Do I need to run some kind of FIX PERMISSIONS on this? Is there such a thing for the S3?
I found someone else talking about this same thing and looks like they solved it. here is the link:
