I have moved a works folder from my pc to my nexus via the USB cable. I dropped it in the Internal storage along with the other already present folders. How do I view this folder on the phone. Should I be doing this another way.
All help welcome.

I would recommend using a file manager like Astro or ES Explorer.

You just need to install a file manager app from the market. Try astro file manager.

OK, I don't know if this is an issue with Astro File Manager, windows, MTP, or the file system but when I rename a file using Astro, the file names don't match when I connect to a PC as an MTP device. For example, I downloaded a zip file containing wallpapers, and renamed it to wallpapers.zip from xra48.zip using Astro, but when I plugged into my PC, the file was still named xra48.zip and trying to rename through windows would reject any changes without an error message.

That is an issue with MTP, not with Astro. MTP will not always display the latest information... it needs to be refreshed. Don't trust MTP; trust Astro.

Is there any way to force refresh MTP?

Probably, but I don't use MTP, so I can't help you. Sorry.

Maybe you have to run the Media scanner to get the changes to stick?
Fixed my issue with an app on Google play called Rescan SD which forced a refresh. They advertise it as fixing the gallery not updating
I need the APK for the FILE MANAGER that came with the Galaxy S3....I downloaded the file explorer or other file managers, but it's too hard for it to navigate to external SD card, anyone has the original FILE MANAGER it shows like a YELLOW FOLDER...which has a very good system...where it shows the External SD CARD folder, and the Internal Memory fold, and it's so str8 forward...
If someone has a thread that can lead me to find all the APK from the ORIGINAL rom, please help
thanks.
I hope this works for you https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw3HpBJlsyA0cDFocW1QZnpZeXc/preview

I can access my Clockwork Mod files via my Gnex, but they are not accessible when trying to copy to my PC. I see the device, I can see the CWM folder, but no backup folder exists. I can see everything else on the device. Tried coping the files to the root with no success. I have been able to access this files in the past.
Ideas?
I haven't had a problem specifically with CWM files, but changing the folder options on my PC (inside the Galaxy Nexus folders) to "show hidden files" usually did the trick...

Small chance, but look in your "clockworkmod" folder and its subfolders and see if there are a file called ".nomedia" which would cause the folder contents to be hidden when connected to the PC in MTP mode.
You can also use the app AirDroid to transfer files through WiFi.

I'm pretty sure that's a solution to the opposite problem. Hence, the files are showing up on the computer and phone file manager, but not in the apps. The .nomedia file tells the apps not to scan the specific folder they're sitting in. For example, yesterday my friends Galaxy Mini wasn't showing any pics in the gallery app or music in the music app, even though they clearly existed on the phone (via file manager and when hooked up to the PC). Deleted the .nomedia file and <insert sound effect here (I.E."BAM!"> all was good.

Thanks for the assistance, but no luck. Using Airdroid at the moment, but is is slower than slow.
Any other ideas are appreciated.

Try Local Sync, it easy and fast.
Thanks
Thanks. Local Sync doesn't seem to be much quicker. Can't find the option to sync one folder only, so it is syncing my entire CWM folder.
Question still stands why the heck I can't see those files via my PC.

Have tried reboots o both PC and phone. Also tried a different PC. Very strange that i can see everything else.
I could try to restore from a previous CWM backup and see if I am able to copy.
Any luck using adb?
ADB

ADB command line is a bit out of my scope. Maybe I'll take a shot at it later. Installed a previous CWM BU, but no success.
Hi i am trying to access files inside my rooted device but it appears it cannot, even if i use a third party file explorer android app .

Be more specific. what's happening when you try to access files with adb or a file explorer?

Any suggestions?
I recently updated from CM 10.0 to 10.2
it seems that all my old files are at
/mnt/shell/emulated/
while the new home folder is at
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/
even giving full root access to any app (solid explorer/cm explorer...) I can't open copy or move any of the old files
I'm able to list them and thats it
How do I move the files at the right place?
thanks

Try an other Explorer. Like es or root browser.

+1 for root browser. Not sure if you can pull entire directories via adb?

sorry the other explorers did not work
its like the files are owned by the wrong user and they can't be modified
update...
I rebooted the phone after trying es root explorer and suddenly I got access back trought ES explorer
It failed before the reboot... I don't know why...
thanks
