Is there a way to keep my phone from picking gvoice files up in my music
Sent from my LT18i using XDA

I'm not sure what they are, are they required by an application? Any files I don't want to be scanned I just put into a directory that begins with a . Which 'hides' the folder, but can still be read by a file explorer.

Ringtones and music

How do I get my music player to not play my ringtones? I have them in a separate folder yet they still play. Do i just have to rely on playlists?

Try creating an empty text file named .nomedia place it in the folder with your ringtones.

Back when I used to own an HTC Titan, I had to put my ringtones inside of the Windows Folder to make them be recognized as ringtones, and that used to work well for me to prevent windows media player to read them.
Here in android, I'm thinking it might be similar, but I'n a noob in android and I don't know the OS structure very well, so I hope this makes sense to someone and can reply back to us.
Ok sorry about that didn't think it would block them from being seen as ringtones all together. As the post above states mabey putting them in the system ringtone folder might let them be ringtones but not be recognized by media player. To do this you will need to be rooted and then move them to /system/media/audio/ringtones. Just throwing stuff out there i'm still pretty noobish.

[Q] transferring app data from a rooted Arc to a non-rooted Ion

So, how do I do this? have manually transferred the apk files so that I have the apps installed, but how do I transfer the app data? I haven't turned on Google backup, and I hear it is a bit hit and miss anyway, so what is the best way of doing this? Does titanium backup work on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks
Bolo

I don't think it will do it automatically but maybe where you have to install each one at a time. And without root I don't know if it can link it to market etc. I used to use my backup pro on my X10 before root

Titanium no go wo root but do u even need data? Sometimes that's trouble anyway w using a dif rom. If u have apks just install, open and reset them, minor pain but otherwise could get nothing but force closes. eb

After running a bit and market too should sync themselves. eb

I'm trying to do the same thing did you ever figure it out?
After install the game, look for the file or folder of your game in the old phone - copy & paste to the new phone in exact location. Ie: /android/data/..xgame.
I play PES2012 and that worked for me.

Nope still have not. The game data is saved on the system part of the phone and so can't transfer without root...

Rooted or not you still able to access system folder.

Hi, I might be missing the point here, but if you are not rooted you cannot write to the root folders. So even if you can access the folders (which I can using astro on my non rooted ion) you cannot write the required data which means cannot transfer the data. It really depends on where your app saves the game.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
I could be wrong but I don't think any programs install after the rom would write into the system and do not allow you to copy & replace. You just have to know what you are doing.

Unblockme definitely saves a database to the data/data folder of the root. Like I said I think it depends on the app.

I download the game and played it - really cool game. I found the folder for the game - from Astro - /mnt/asec/com.kiragames.unblockme - copy that and paste to your ION, you should be good.

Thanks. But my asec folder is empty. My data is found in the root folder, at /data/data/com.kiragames.unblockme
I might try moving the game to the sdcard first to see if this helps.
Edit. If I move the game to sdcard/ internal storage, I get the folder in the asec folder. However I believe this folder only contains the app itself, not the game data. Will keep looking.

EXE file extension only works on PC. It may be a compressed file with the actual book inside it. You could try downloading WinRAR, change the extension to .zip and see if you can open it.
It's most likely encrypted. So, unless they have an Android app, you are out of legally accessible luck.
Then there's the whole DRM argument.
Use software too convert to mp3

That may be virus. Im certaintly positive it is. Where did you download it?

Try a different music app?

I'm guessing that the problem started after tinkering?
Might want this moved to Q and A. Maybe someone there has a solution.

Check if you have a file called ".nomedia" in your music folder. (I don't know why you would have this file but it worth verifying). If you have such a file just delete it.
Yeah .nomedia would prevent the files from being indexed. Delete it if you have them.
