[Q] Looking for storage location for HTC Notes app - HTC One X

Hi,
I used the HTC Notes app to record a meeting today and would like to save it on my computer. But I can't find where Notes save the voice recoding on the SD card.
Can somebody please help me out.
Many thanks

..
im not sure if the recording works but i sync my HTC notes with evernote and al my notes are on the pc automatically.

I flashed a new ROM without backup the stock Note app, now the Note app on the new ROM does not show my old recording.
Can someone please give me some clue on where the video recording might be located, or the what the extension for Note recoding is?
Many thanks

I recently ran into this problem on my HTC One XL: I flashed a new ROM and realised my girlfriend had recently added notes that we needed. I found them on the sdcard partition under .data/HtcNotes. Given I'm running a non-standard ROM I could just mount my phone as a mass storage device and browse to the folder. If you want to look at them on your phone, then you can do that too using the ES File Explorer app (I have no affiliation with them, I just know that it works) after enabling hidden folders in the settings.
FYI, this directory seems to contain a hidden directory for each note, and each directory contains (possibly among other things) a content.html file that has the textual contents of your note saved as HTML. I'm guessing that other media types would be saved within these directories, but I don't have any to test with.

Can I hide/lock files

Hello people,
I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.
Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.
His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.
Not sure if this makes sense
Thanks in advance for any help.
download filebro lite
Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc
What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:
With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.

yup it can hide files.it basically adds a '.' before file name

Officially Annoyed At Missing Media Files (photos and ringtones)

Phone: LTE Galaxy Nexus (VZ)
Preface: I recently swapped from JB Sourcery to AOKP M1 (JB). I loved Sourcery, but I was having stability issues. Anywho, I go into my Gallery, and notice all my photos are missing. Same w/ ringtones. I did some google searches, and have found it is potentially related to ROM Manager (which I had installed).
The fix(s)/attempts:
1) Delete .nomedia in DCIM folder -- No .nomedia files to be found (yes, I was checking hidden files [w/ MI File Explorer])
2) Check sdcard0 for .nomedia files, none
3) Settings > Apps > Media Storage > Clear Data; reboot -- nada
4) Downloaded StudioKUMA .nomedia Manager + Rescan Media Root and couldnt locate any nomedia files in the photo, ringtone, or root sd card directories.
5) Downloaded QuickPic - yes, this worked, but I don't like it and I don't want to rely on a 3rd party. Plus, this didn't solve my ringtone issue.
6) Removed the .nomedia file (//Android/data/.nomedia). Started media scanning via the app I listed above, cleared media storage data, and rebooted --> this did the trick BUT with one issue.
My issue w/ #6: My ringtones (slowly) returned--took a while for it to trickle in from various directories. The biggest gripe is that I now have all these extra images in my Gallery app that I didn't have before. What I DON'T understand is why/how the sdcard0/android/data folder affects the images that are located in a completely different directory (sdcard0/DCIM/ & sdcard0/ringtones/).
Has anyone figured out what actually happened here and how this android/data directory is playing a roll in my media?
Thanks & I hope my fixes/attempts help folks w/ this same issue.

same thing happened to me...coming from MIUI to AOKP...maybe its an AOKP issue? i also read something related to rom manager..but i didnt have rom manager installed...i never encountered it on any other rom before
there were no .nomedia files when i ran several scans...i downloaded quickpic and saw that a lot of my folders were labeled "hidden"...i deleted a bunch of the folders because as you said a lot of unwanted pictures started showing up when i un-hid them...i re-added all the stuff i needed from my PC...to this day i still dont know why my folders became "hidden"
Which phone do you have? W/ the GN, moving files is uber slow and a PITA. I have >5GB in my photos folder, and it will take forever.

[Q] legacy emulated and doubles of everything in storage

I'm having troubles consolidating my files on my internal storage and sdcard. There are duplicate files that have no real extensions and almost seem like my storage created an exact copy of all of my files.
Image folders are listed twice in the Gallery app and the dead files show up in my gallery as black/nothing photos.
When looking in a file manager application, there are folders titled "0", legacy, and emulated. I have done some research and found out that this is a product of the feature within android 4.2 called user profiles. I'm still not exactly sure how this works and would appreciate if someone could shed some light onto this topic.
I am just having troubles getting my storage back to its consistency which is a huge thing for me. How can I at least gain control over my files?
Look on cm10.1 thread..there will be a .zip u flash in recovery, its called restore sd after downgrade zip. Hope this helps

[Q] Weird writing problem on rooted ND8 stock.

Recently rooted my phone thanks to these wonderful people at a place called xda-developers. You may have heard of them.
Anyway, I find that there's something weird going on with my phone, I can't write to the internal storage. External SD card works fine, Internal SD card does not. Only a few apps work.
The camera app will take and save photos, but using the camera within Kik Messenger gives m the error that the photo cannot be saved, I have to take photos with the camera app, then import them to Kik with the "choose photo" option, which will let me choose a photo through Gallery.
In another related issue, ES File Explorer will not create new folders. I'm in the main directory of the "internal" SD card, where things like Downloads and DCIM like to sit in. I cannot make a folder. If I go in with a Windows computer over USB I can make folders fine. ES File Explorer cannot even delete the folder. Says "New Folder cannot be deleted" Why is this? I can even rename the folder, but I still cannot delete this folder. Going into the properties it says I have full read and write access to the folder, I still cannot delete it.
In a third instance I have the GPS program Navfree. I cannot even run the program. Google Play installs it and it says it works, but when I go to actually open the program it gives me the error "Program cannot be installed, contact support" before quitting me back to the home screen. This program is special because it downloads and installs, but there are map files that it needs to download before it becomes useful. This is done within the app and I do not know where it tries to save to.
I think all of these problems are related and I have not seen any forum posting about it so far and I have been searching for a while. Google Play will still download and install apps like no problem and ES File Explorer will copy and move files around and will even rename New Folder to 'folder' but will not delete i
At first I suspected it to be the problem with KitKat and the debacle about writing to /external/ SD cards. But my problem extends to the internal storage as well. I have applied the fix to the 'permissions.xml' file by adding "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" I had to flash the fix in with recovery because I could not save the edited file I had typed up. Using one of the automated fixes in Google Play told me the action had already been completed. On the contrary, external storage works fine, I can write files and delete them and whatever I want to the external. The problem is with the internal card and it applies to everything I've tried except the camera.
So what is going on with my phone? I have root access but some apps will not work properly. It's just one headache after another. Here's hoping I won't notice the next one until I get another phone...
Eventually I just got fed up with the problem and re-applied the stock rom with Samsung Kies. Re-rooted and now the problem is no more. Thanks for thinking about me!

Samsung Music Issue

Please note the attached screen shots. I use Verizon Visual Voice Mail - and I have used the option of permanently saving some of those voice mails (messages from my deceased Dad, etc) - which puts the recordings in a folder in my internal memory. The Samsung Media Player has found them and includes them with music to place in my phone. How do I tell the Samsung Media Player to ignore certain files or folders...?

Locate the folder where those files are saved. Using a FILE MANAGER program, make a new file and name it (without the quotes) ".nomedia". It does not have to contain anything. That file alone will prevent Android system from showing any files included in that folder in Gallery and Music. The name must start with the period.
If you cannot create a file with the period character, you'll need a different File Manager program. However that will fix your problem. Use this method to hide anything from the basic file system of the music and gallery apps.
