No... I have to put the APK installer file into internal memory... Not after installing.... Is b4 installing

In the basic sense of the question, it means just put the APK "NOT" within the sdcard or any folders under it. I think this only possible if you're rooted.
In any case, I wonder why there's such requirement. APK is just an installer and even in the sdcard level it should work or run. Then when you install, default is the app will be placed in the INTERNAL memory. That should be what you wanted.

Maybe tick the unknown sources option if its not already?

I suppose that's what i will do also even if doing so sounds strange. If still don't work probably its a bad apk. Try it on another device or look for another source.

test using titanium, so you can integrate the game to system, it can work maybe

For what purpose?

i have a *ahem" game called "Spectral Souls"....
but i can't install~

You can put it to system/app with Root Explorer if a install from sd card doesn't work.

[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

Where abouts I'd the folder.
If if it's on sd card then check what data is in it then yes delete it.
If it is needed it will automatically be made again on reboot.
If in system files then do a backup then delete if phone goes wrong or acts strange you can always but back

It's on the root of the sd card and it's full of video ads and png files probably from games I've downloaded. It's before the .android folder.

If on sd card then you can delete,perhaps show backup of card on pc just incase you need to restore.

[Q] Recovering 'hidden' photos after wipe

Hey XDA!
I have a quick question about recovering a 'hidden' folder that I can't find.
I recently just wiped my device and installed a new ROM with Philz Touch Recovery.
I looked through my photos and I can't find a special folder I had 'hidden.'
There's no option to 'show hidden content'
Is there any other place I can look? I backed up that particular DCIM folder from internal memory to my computer.
Then after I couldn't find the hidden folder in phone, I replaced the old DCIM folder to my phone's memory.. STILL can't find it.
Any help is appreciate at this point..
Thanks again!

Root explorer will show hidden files

Files made hidden by the stock gallery app will still stay in the DCIM folder, right?

I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think so. I don't use the stock gallery so i am not sure. But usually natural linux hidden attributes is simply adding a period to the beginning of the file or folder.

Omg I found it lol, so basically I made a random folder then hid it. Plugged it into my computer to find the folder name.
Of course with the option to view hidden files and folders.
Saw the folder I was looking for and opened file location. It's stored in:
Phone > Internal Storage > .hide > folder name
Thanks for your help, though.

Help to delete :(

Mod delete when can

Night_Slayer said:
Hello there everyone, I was scrolling through my storage using androzip, when I found this folder called "Discover new apps." I found it weird as I never saw this before and when I tried deleting it....it just won't delete . I tried wiping the internal sd card and using the external as a restore from a way earlier backup and sadly to say it's still there...

Don't worry, it's just a feature in the file manager. It's not a file which is inside your internal or external sd card. It's just in the file manager.
