adding ebooks from computer to Kindle app - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I have the Kindle app on my phone and am trying to copy some ebooks I have on my computer to my Galaxy Nexus to read with the Kindle app. I never had any problems before on my old phone that have SD cards, but with the Galaxy nexus I cannot see any files inside the \Android\data\ directory, which is where I need to copy the files to in order for the Kindle app to read the files. Anyone have any ideas for how I can copy the ebooks to my phone? They are all in .mobi files if that matters

The Kindle app reads the books from the Kindle folder on the faked sd card, not the /android/data folder.
put your mobi files in /mnt/sdcard/kindle

Or you can just email them to your @kindle.com address... If you have a Kindle.

Thanks. The "kindle" folder seems to be hidden as well. I can see it in ES File Explorer, but it is not viewable in any way on my computer. I would do the email way, but that costs money and it gives a new attached email address every time I install a new ROM so I dont know if the files I upload would even properly carry over to a new ROM.
When I browse the kindle directory in ES file explorer, it simply says no items are there when viewing the folder. On my computer, nothing in \Android\data is there and the kindle folder on the sd card root is not there either. Many app folders are not there actually, just user stuff and things I created. I really hate how Samsung mounts the phone to the computer. This would be so much simpler if it just mounted as a proper removable device instead of a dumb "media device"

Not hard to find at all on my device look at the attached pic. Use calibre program if your having trouble. Its an awesome ebook manager and its completely free. Google it.

I use File manager from Rhythm Software. It is a free app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yaG1zb2Z0LmZtIl0.
Once you open the app, the home folder should be the fake SD card with a path of /mnt/sdcard. the Kindle folder should be in there. See my screenshot.
I am running the stock 4.0.4 ROM. Assuming you are also running stock, it should be in the same location for you.
As a plus, File Manager can also access windows shared folders, so it is easy to copy files from the computer onto the phone over my home wifi network.

Yes this is fine. I am using Nexus 5, android 4.4. The kindle folder is visible while checking from file managers on the device. But it is not visible when I connect my nexus to a PC as a USB.

Can't Copy Titanium Backup Files to My PC

I created a Galaxy Nexus folder on the "data" drive on my PC. I connect my rooted Gnex and can see "Internal Storage" with folders and data in them. I can drag and drop the Clockworkmod folder and all the files inside move over to my PC just fine but with (paid) Titanium Backup only the folder is moved and none of files inside. The folder is empty. I can try to drag and drop single or multiple TiBu files and nothing is moved. I tried moving them to my desktop rather than the other drive and same thing happens. This happens with drag and drop or copy/paste. Why would Clockworkmod files move but not TiBu files?
Any help appreciated.
Have you tried using a file explorer on the phone and copying the the TitaniumBackup files to a folder that is viewable always through MTP such as DCIM and then transferring from that folder to your PC?

I'll have to do more reading but I sort of understand that. Isn't that just a workaround? Shouldn't I be able to drag and drop the TiBu folder and its contents?
There's no problem dragging and dropping folders from my PC to my Gnex.
Thanks for help!
It may be...I got my GNex today (been on the same Drod Incredible since mid 2010). Already rooted, CWM and custom ROM, but I haven't had much time to play with the phone yet. I did notice using File Explorer I can see more folders on the SD card root than I can see using MTP which I believe may be related to the issue you're having.
I've only transferred files from my PC to the phone and subsequently deleted files using MTP, but I'll update trying to pull files from the phone. You could use ADP as well if MTP doesn't work.
MTP has to do with Media Player right? Maybe my problem is when I hook the Gnex up via USB the AutoPlay box comes up and I've just been closing it out without selecting anything. The only selection that mentions Windows Media Player is, "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". Should I select that one? There's also, "Open device to view files using Windows Explorer" There're some others but I don't think they pertain.
Thanks, again for your help.
I've been clicking open device to view files or opening it through My Computer.
Make sure the phone is set to MTP and not Camera mode.
You can also use adb to pull the folder of your phone, assuming you have the correct drivers installed.
adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/

ADB seems daunting, but is actually easy to use. Same with fastboot. Before you start running things, get ADB and other apps installed, open a command prompt from the platform-tools folder of the SDK and run the command: adb devices to verify the drivers are working. I've found usually the ADP driver installs fine, but the Android 1.0 driver for fastboot doesn't. Make sure both work fine before you start messing with things.
To test fastboot, boot into the boot loader and see if the computer recognizes the phone. You can then run the command: fastboot devices to see if you have a good connection.

OK thanks. The pulldown shows MTP checked. Could it be something in Win 7 that needs changing to be able to recognize the Internal Storage files?
Looks like there's quite a few steps in setting up ADB. I'll have to read through everything carefully.
As with so many things unlocking and rooting opens up a can of worms. I don't mean that in the negative but it's like learning how to ride a bike again.

The GNex Toolkit can easily install the correct drivers for you. You don't need the entire Android SDK if you just want Fastboot and ADB.
There's a DL link to Fastboot + ADB here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806&highlight=download+fastboot
Thanks everyone for the help. Fastboot and ADB will certain't have to be installed but it seems like it's a work around for not being able to drag and drop the TiBu files to my PC. I haven't seen other folks with this problem so I need to find out why it's happening with me.
Again, I really appreciate the help. I've learned a lot.

Sync your tibu to dropbox or Google drive. Easily done over wifi.
I agree you can't copy the entire folder but I have no problem copy/paste the individual files inside titanium backup folder.

The file directories for MTP aren't updated as dynamically as they should be. Try running an application like SDRescan or any of the solutions in the threads about missing files through MTP.
thank you all. Tonight i've uploaded to dropbox but i think it's a long way to get the result.
I'll try soon SDRescan.
If your on a custom ROM make sure to fix permissions.
I've had this happen on my GNex and my Xoom. Only real way I solved it was deleting all the files in my SD card with root explorer except for CWM folded and the rom I'm installing. Then reboot right after the delete FORMATTING system/data/cache and factory reset.

I had this problem on my stock but rooted nexus. I could copy over files and folders just fine except the Titanium folder. I just restarted my phone and it worked.

[Q] CWM wont reboot after flashing sdcard utility (for updating PRL)

Hi -
I would've replied in the appropriate thread here but I dont have 10 posts yet. Anyhow,
I'm trying to update my Profile & PRL using the method in the thread above. downloaded the tar file, MD5 checksum verified. Extracted the contents via 7-Zip, copied the "multiboot" folder into the root of my sdcard. Booted into CWM 5.0.2.7 and installed the file. Received following output:
Code:
-- Installing: /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/boot_FC09.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Boot /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/zImage
Create mount symlink.
Remount partitions read-only.
(Re)mount /sdcard read-only.
Unpack kexec
Load zImage and initramfs
Sync.
Reboot into zImage.
Install from sdcard complete.
this whole process takes about 2 seconds and them my phone doesn't do anything. Doesn't reboot and stays in CWM. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm running CM7 RC0 with FC09 modem at the moment.
Where did you put the multiboot directory? It has to be at the root of your sd card. It can't be inside of any other folder.

it is in the root of my sdcard. it's the same place I've always put other roms to flash

So you flash all of your roms from /sdcard/multiboot/FC09? (Just being sarcastic, honest advice below...)
The directory structure must match exactly, meaning everything must be in the FC09 folder, which must be in multiboot, and multiboot must be at the root of the sdcard (honestly, I have seen this part vary - sometimes, my phone recognizes /sdcard, but other time I have had to use /mnt/sdcard... either way, the / at the beginning refers to the root of the file system (this is a linux/unix standard)... hopefully that helps
You should also verify the md5 of your download, and make sure the full extension is retained (sometimes .tar.xz and similar archives are saved as just .tar in some browsers, and sometimes that goes unnoticed because some archive programs will still appear to open the archive correctly, but the extracted files won't match the originals)

Thanks for the help styles. I did verify the md5 hash when i downloaded the tar.xz and it matched my local file. And I do believe my multiboot folder is in the root of the sdcard. But just in case, here's a screenshot from FileMananger:

sorry kenny! Didn't realize the "this is a question" meant only Q&A forum. Can you remove the [Q] property of this thread so it goes back to general discussion section. It's not so much a question but a need for assistance is getting the sdcard utility working.
No worries. Just hoping others see it and keep questions here. And you did ask a question in the OP so here is a good spot for it.

ok so back to the original issue at hand.. i've been doing researching a bit more into the issue and i'm glad i'm not the only one where this is happening. Others are saying that I just need to keep waiting and the phone will reboot itself into sdcard rom after the flash is done.. just wanted to ask is that true? and how long should I wait ?
If set up correctly no more than a few minutes. Our SD card is class 2 so the read is a lot slower than phone memory.

it's been about 10 or 15 minutes already and still nothing. I posted where the multiboot folder is on my phone. is that correct ? does it matter that i'm on CM7 and not CM9 ? What are the mount settings I should have in CWM "Mount and Storage" options ?
Yours looks to be in the same place mine is. Mine boots into it fine.

Cant see old files after flashing to 4.3 after 4.1

Im sure this has come up a few times but I cannot find the answer...I went from 4.1.2 mc2 to 4.3 and everything is running smooth as butter, but my files such as music and even the newest rom zip is still on my internal storage taking up so much space but I cannot see them through es file explorer or through my pc to delete them and free up space. When I flashed, I wiped cache, dalvic, factory reset then formatted system data and cache in that order, 3 times each and that's how ive always done it. I restored my backup of 4.1.2 (which after the fact I read that's the ultimate no no) but all files are there and the phone worked like it always had. I did flash 4.3 again and im still running it with no issues but I can't figure out how to see my old files from 4.1.2...any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!!! GO BRONCOS!!!

Your older files from 4.1.2 are stored in the /data/media folder. Newer Android versions now store internal data on /data/media/0. Use a file explorer with root permission features like Root Explorer to find and copy those files.

sdcard not visible in explorer

!!SOLVED!!! (see my last post..).
Hi guys
i have an issue where i have files on internal sdcard that are only visible in cwm. Any file explorer i use only shows sdcard/0 . These locations arent mirrored and the only way i am able to see the files is cmw. I have had this problem before and i found a script on xda some where that made it visible to my root explorer, howevr i cant seem to find this script again anywhere.
Does anybody know of the said script or have any suggestions as i want to free up this storage (300mb)
Thanks in advance

i don't understand your problem cause you stated its "sd card" and by that i thought you meant external memory but you listed saying it's phone memory?So you can't access your phone memory to delete files off it?Which ROM are you running? And have you mounted your system correctly if you're using es file explorer?
I'm using resurrection ROM. I don't know how else I can mount it with a file explorer?. I simply cannot get to that location in any explorer.

Check for your content in 'sdcard/0/' directory.
These are the options I can get to.
If I select sdcard/0 it takes me too sdcard/emulated/0 as shown below.
In cwm if select install from internal sdcard the files I am trying to get to to delete are visible. But all my files on my device are in the 0 folder which is all I can get to on my device. Its like I need to go up another level but cant.

sdcard0 and sdcard0/emulated/0 are same, try it by moving your files outside from 0 folder to sdcard0/ if you got loop folder means '0/0/0'. First verify you've given root access to ES File Exp (From side pane >> root explorer). And if still didn't unable to move goto root directory '/' there you'll find 'sdcard0' directory, give a try with that.
This has happened to me before. Usually it's because of a bad backup due to lack of storage. What I did was delete the failed back up in CWM and you'll get the space back. For some reason, if you're backing up your phone on the internal SD, CWM will save it in some folder that's only accessible to CWM in recovery mode. Hope that helps.

Access to Emulated/999 Storage

Hi.
So I updated my One Plus 3 to Oxygen OS 5.0 via OTA update. As much as I love everything, especially the integrated Parallel Apps, it's infuriating to know I can't access the storage area of these apps on our phone's internal memory.
Let me explain.
Normally, our internal storage is located at following path: "storage/emulated/0/sdcard.
But incase of Parallel Apps, it's "storage/emulated/999". I was able to access it via both ADB via PC as well as Terminal Emulater using phone. BUT, it's not explorable via any File Explorer software.
My device is not rooted, neither do I want to risk rooting it for now. But I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with a way to access that storage. Is there a method to create a path shortcut but terminal commands or some other sorcery ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

There's no way you can access that data nor oneplus ever responded to queries of user's on the oneplus forum for the same. Hope we all somehow get access via stock explorer for that from oneplus and in the mean time If you find any solution somehow than please post here.
open the DOWNLOADS app on the device.*
In the left upper side click the three bar button. you will find parallel app storage
Solution to the hidden folder - 999 in internal storage of the phone.

Here's the solution for android users:
1. Download ES FILE EXPLORER from Play Store.[This File Explorer is the only exception.]
2. Find "Favourites" in top left corner section.
3. Add your own favourite folder by tapping on "ADD".
4. Name it as you wish and in the path section type "/storage/emulated/999/" and tap ok.
5. Here you go. Now, you can access the 999 folder where you can find all the cloned apps.
For iOS:
1. I don't know man.
2. Go for Apple Store.

Hi, Bro, I have the same problem, I need to access /storage/emulated/95/, but when I create the ftp server, no files are found in this folder, can you help me? Thank you
In addition, can this method be used under Android 11?

Yes. But I have faced some issues creating an FTP server now. so I am looking into another FTP server for phones and I am currently trying ES Explorer but to no avail, nothing worked yet. but yes, It'll work on Android 11 too because it's not bound to any kind of restrictions, it's just a server that's it.

I am using a Samsung mobile phone and my dualapp data is saved in /storage/emulated/95/, but when I create the ftp server, there are no files in this directory. Do I have to use an ftp client on the computer?
Why not use adb pull for entire WhatsApp folder or specific folder
adb pull storage/emulated/999/Whatsapp <destination>
999 is for dual space storage
