somefile.ext???? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Rcmix 4.0...for some reason, there is a file called "somefile.ext"
soon as i click on ES File Explorer.
I delete it, and it appears again.
Can't open it, all I know is that it's 1.04mb in size.
Any ideas as to what this could be?
cheers

What folder does it appear in?

Soon as I click to open es.file explorer its there. It's not in a folder.

I can open the file with Es Note Editor, but takes a long time to load and this is what's displayed:
1st pic is what i see when i open ES File Explorer
rest of the pics are a few screenshots of the actual contents of the 'somefile.ext'

Uploading files with Froyo default browser

I am trying to use the default browser with Astro file manager to upload files to a website. However when I select the file a / is appended to the file name which I believe is causing the file to not upload. The same happens with an alternative file manager.
Anyone managed to upload non-image files to a website using the default browser?
I guess I will have to stick with using opera to upload files for a bit longer.
Sorry for my answer, it's maybe three way you do it, but you have to long press the file in the astro file dialog.

Thanks for replying. I just tried doing this, but still get the same result. After I submit, the page just refreshes as if I didn't select a file at all. In the file location box I get the correct path, but with a / on the end of the file name. I believe this is the error as it would cause the browser to think that the file I picked is actually a directory.

Which file explorer?

Very sorry, this is a bit of a newbie question. I've updated to revo HD 2.1 and recently put on the power notification widget add on.
It says you can edit the widget.txt file in system/customize.
Well I got there but using root option on estrong yet I cannot see or edit the txt file. I've accepted superuser access etc. Selected Hiapk, didn't see it, selected cryogen and that didn't see anything either..
I also tried atsro and root explorer with no luck.
What file explorer people use to edit root system files?
Thanks for reading.

Why don't you edit the txt file on your pc before flashing the mod? ES file explorer should do fine...
Doh, I think it wad titanium back up causing problems, I reinstalled it and everything looked fine.
Out of curiosity, how do I explore system dir when on pc?
Thanks for quick reply.

Answering to your first post I will recommend ES File Manager too.

You can do it using adb, but you would have to work in the terminal (unless there's a GUI for it I don't know off?)
Regarding your first question: I would recommend Root Explorer, works like a charm

i think that ES file explorer is the best of the explorer
I use ES File Explorer and sometimes AndroZIP for unzipping archives.
Isn't he asking for a file explorer which will let him edit /system/customize/widget.txt?
I think the thread title is misleading.

[Q] system folder and lang cahnge in MIUI rom.

from the headline, where is it? am i blined?
anothre thing, where do i find the build.prop file in the system folder, so i can change the lang in my phone?
thanks for any help.
p.s
sorry for any english mistake-not my prime lang.
Hi
To view system folder u will need root explorer or similar file manager. Inside the system folder is build.prop
Ordinary file managers will only show SD content.prob why you can't see it, there is prob a free file manager also but I only use root explorer as I find it very good.
Hope that helps

i use ASTRO file manager. am i loking at the wrong place?
Astro only views SD card contents, you need one that will view phone file s
The system folder is on ur phone not SD
Download file expert from market that's free
Open it ,on local tab just press back arrow in top right corner, then click the back slash this will bring you too all files.
Then click system
Hope that helps

you are great! works fine.
how can i replace it with another build.prop file from my PC?
Not sure from PC assume it would be thru adb but I don't no much about it
U can do it manual just put it on ur SD then copy and paste it to ur system folder ,make sure permissions match the original
Try root browser lite its free and works much better than file expert allows copy paste moving and permission changes.
Long press on files for all options

If you have ES File Explorer (if you don't, it's free on the market), go to sdcard/download, press and hold until the menu comes up and select shortcut.

I am using Astro File Manager.
I can get to the file in the download folder, but where do I put it?
Where is the folder for the Home Screen?

ES File explorer

Hey guys,
I'm hoping I have placed this question in its correct location(If not please excuse my mistake) but on my one x I'm having troubles with my ES file explorer. It came with the viper 3.7.4 that I'm now on. I have been wanting to change the boot animation zip with this program but I cannot delete or rename anything. I have superuser set. If I long press the file and click on properties I have read and write enabled. I also changed the home directory to /. The only thing I was successful in was cut and paste(I took the original boot/down animations and placed them in the newly created folder on my SD.
I also deleted and re downloaded ES file explorer but that did nothing
Even in my file explorer app I cannot delete files. It's like this phone is not letting me change anything. Is their something I have missed. I can only imagine its something simple that was overlooked but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the app, press menu, then root explorer, then mount r/w
