[Q][Solved] Strange file browsing problem... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I browse my sd card, and try to open a specific folder using Root Explorer or the "Root Browser" tool in Rom Toolbox, the folder appears empty. However when I browse my sd card on my PC while connected to USB in disk mode, or with the Script Manager app, or while in recovery, the folder contains all the files I have placed there previously that I would expect to see. Permissions for the folder are set to "--xrwxr-x" just as all my other folders on the sd card are set to. I am rooted (obviously), running Deck's 1.3d with Tiamat 3.3.7, and using DarkTremors a2sd.
Any ideas why the files are not visible in certain apps?
Edit: see attached screenshots.

If you are connected to pc in sd card mode, you will not be able to see sd card contents

Yep, sorry, I edited my OP to reflect that.

You can always backup the contents, format the card, then move what you need back.
It might not fix it, but it definitely shouldn't hurt.

Thanks, plainjane. I will give that a try in the next couple days and let you know how it works out.

Problem solved: renamed the folder in question. Must have been a bad character that the explorer didn't like.

External SD files not visible on phone

Sorry guys - this must have been answered before, but after over an hour of searching, I cant find it here, or anywhere through Google.
Epic 4GTouch Rooted w/ Blazer.
Just bought a 16G c6 SD, connected phone to PC, transferred ~5G of music to the SD, and while all the files are visible and accessible through Windows Explorer ( /external_sd ), none of the files are visible on the phone. I've tried PowerAmp, MixZing and the stock music player - none of them see any music on the external SD, and I've tried both the stock file browser and ES File Explorer - neither see any files, only LOST.DIR.
But, if I connect the phone to PC by USB, all the files are there and accessible.
I can't be the only person with this problem. I only want to use the extSD for music, nothing else.
Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked 100x - I swear I searched forever.
I'm going to guess that either this has happened and been posted about 1000x, or I am the first person ever with the problem so no one knows what's wrong.
If someone could post a link to a known thread, it would be a huge help.
Thanks.

[Q] Face Unlock

does anyone have the apk for it?
Sent from my SPH-D700
Does not work with our FFC
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I have gotten it to work almost every time I tried it. To get it just put a file named .forcefaceunlock on the root of your sd card and reflash gapps. The apk and its assets will probably be in the gapps folder

With any file explorer... just add a file to the root of your sd card... I'm sure you know how to create a file right? Well create one called .forcefaceunlock on the root of the sd card....

how to access System/

So upon plugging in my phone (newest iteration of clean rom) windows takes me into and lets me access the sdcard/ extension. I am trying to install an app by copy/pasting into the system/app directory but am unable to navigate to it via my computer. I'm unable to access it via root explorer because it says the folder is read only. anyone able to shed some insight into this situation?

In root explorer when you nav to /system, at the top you'll see a button that changes it from read only to read/write(see pic). If you wanna access /system from your computer you have to do it with adb.

Airdroid will also allow you to access the system folder from pc. Good luck
In cleanrom you can choose your file manager, each one has a different way of allowing your pc to write to storage, mount, umount, etc. Go through the settings and you will find what you are looking for.

(Q) File Camera Not Saving Pics

I've been snapping away and I can't find any pictures. They arent in the gallery or in any of the folders using root explorer.
Any ideas?

Usually in /DCIM/Camera folder.... check external sd if you have one installed (DCIM/Camera folder). Also look in /Pictures folders (internal and external)
No joy. I looked in gallery, in root and solid explorers in sd card and sd 0,all in the dcim media, and picture folders.. Nothing. Also I should be able to preview of the pic in the bottomm left box of the camera app but it brings up nothing.
I'm at a complete loss here.

So it doesn't matter whether I choose write to sd card or phone memory the camera app will not save pics or video. Google search keeps coming up issues with sd card formatting, however since it's not writing to phone memory I don't see how it can be that. Just to be safe I did a clean install of cr 4.9 and I'm having the same issue. Something else to note, I now have 2 different camera icons that open 2 different camera apps. The second one I don't recognize and neither one will save pics or video.

maybe I'm not understanding you correctly. Can you take out your SD card, put Madhi on the SD card and then reinstall it onto your tablet?
