Hi,
I have installed successfully CM10 alpha7 on my I-8150. I have a strange problem, however. using the built-in File Manager (even in root mode), when I try to move a file, it replies that "Operation not permitted in the current folder". That situation is the same for a wide number of files and directories that I have tested.
Select the file/s that you want to move/copy. The navigate to the destination folder. Tap over 8-dots icons and select paste selection or move selection.
You can not move the file over the same folder.

That is OK now :laugh: I was used to the PC way of life, so I was convinced that one should select first the file, then "Copy/Move" and finally navigate to the destination folder. Thank you, jruesga

I have installed a program which does not appear in Installed Programs.
To run it you have to tap an .exe file which is in a directory on the storage card.
Is there a way to create a shortcut and preferably an icon that I can add to the Programs page in the Touchflow.
TIA
Paul
I had the same issue (with Tomtom). I just made a short cut to the .exe in the folder the program was in, and moved that shortcut to Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. I did this using Active sync.
Hi Gunther
I have just tried that however when I right click the .exe in file on the phone or in Active Sync I do not get the option to create a shortcut - just the Cut, Copy, rename, Delete etc.
Did you take a copy of the .exe file or find another way to do the shortcut?
Thanks
Paul
using File Explorer in your HTC Touch HD right click on the target and chose copy option
go to the destination folder right click again and chose pase shortcut
I am not having any joy. When I right click and copy the .exe file and then go to the Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs and then right Click again the option to paste as shortcut is greyed out. If I paste the .exe file then it appears as a program in the list of programs however it does not run.
The shortcuts are .lnk files. I presume they point to the .exe/program files location however I cannot open them to see what is inside.
Thanks everyone - I did it. Just went to the Start Menu and then used Menu - Paste shortcut.
If you've already got File Explorer installed, just install the file explorer extension.

Then just click and hold on the program and choose Send shortcut to Progr ...

Basically this will allow your Android phone to display Softbank Emoji encoding. This is not limited to just your text messages, but will also allow applications to display emojis that people have in their profiles or whatever.
Things needed before you install:
1)Root Explorer (from the Market) You can use a different file explorer app, but it must be able to mount your system folder as read/write
2)A program that can open a 7z file (you can find that online here The file that is provided is compressed with 7z format. There is probably an app that can extract that on the market, but I haven't looked for it.
3)Your phone MUST be rooted!!!
To install:
1)Download the droidsansfallback.7z file to your computer
2)Uncompress the file and move the droidsansfallback.ttf to your SDCard somewhere
3)Go /system/fonts with root explorer
4)Click "Mount R/W" at the top
5)Long-press on Droidsansfallback.ttf and click delete and then Yes to confirm
7)Navigate back to where you placed the droidsansfallback.ttf
8)Long-press on droidsansfallback.ttf and click "Move"
9)Go back to /system/fonts
10)Click "Paste" at the bottom
You're done!

I am facing some strange issues on my galaxy nexus 4.2.2 unrooted
I have notice that in my phone there is a file name THUMBDATA3-1763508120 in DCIM--->thumbnail folder of size 1.5 GB.
And even after deleting this file no space of my sdcard is released . Means my SDCARD is still showing the same space as before .
and after some time it recreate again with same size when i use camera for some time.
One more thing in my phone I have 9.35 GB of data content but SDCARD is showing 11.5 GB of space out of 13.3 GB
This may help , please confirm
Using a disk space analyzer, I was surprised to see that my Android tablet had 1.03GB of photos. This was odd to me, because I knew there were only a couple of photos on the device.
I pinpointed the problem to thumbnails. These are tiny copies of photos used by some apps to more quickly display pictures. Specifically, the 1GB was being taken up by a thumbnail index file, and I didn't need to lose that 1GB to a function I don't use on the tablet. I erased the file as follows:
1. Open a file manager on Android. I use File Manager from Rhythm Software.
2. Ensure that it can display system or hidden files. This is an option somewhere under Settings. In File Manager, tap Menu > Settings > Show Hidden Files.
3. Navigate to \mnt\sdcard\DCIM\ .thumbnails. By the way, DCIM is the standard name for the folder that holds photographs, and is the standard for pretty much any device, whether smartphone or camera; it is short for "digital camera IMages." Another BTW: when a folder name is prefixed with a period, then it is a hidden folder in Android (such as .thumbnails).
4. Select and erase the file that's about 1GB and contains the word 'thumbdata." The exact file name will vary.
After I did this, image viewing apps like Gallery operated just fine, with no apparent slowdown from the loss of this file.
In this way I freed up 1GB on my Android v4 tablet, 1GB on my Android v4 phone, and 750MB on an older Android v2 phone.
Keeping the 1GB Free
Because .thumbdata is a system file, Android recreates it. Indeed, you may find more than one copy in the .thumbnails folder, if you have reinstalled Android or similarly redid the system in some way.
To keep Android from creating the 1GB file anew, we need to create a dummy file that fools Android. In short, we create a text file with a text editor, and then move it to the thumbnails folder. Here are the steps to doing this:
1. Use File Manager to determine the exact name of the thumbnail index file. On one of my Android devices, the name is .thumbdata3--1967290299. Write it down.
2. Start a text editor or word processor on the Android, and then create a new text file.
3. Use the Save As command to save the file in the DCIM folder. (We move it to the .thumbnails folder in a later step.) Save it with the same name at that index file, such as ".thumbdata3--1967290299". Now, depending on the text editor's capabilities, it might not allow the "." prefix or a blank extension. Thus, you might end up with thumbdata3--1967290299.txt as the file name. We fix this in a later step.
4. Exit the text editor, and then switch to File Manager. Now, it is important you use a file manager like Rhythm Software's File Manager app, because it does what some others cannot: it can (a) rename file extensions and (b) access hidden folders.
5. In File Manager, navigate to the \DCIM\ .thumbnails folder. If the thumbdata3 file is there again, erase it again.
6. Move up a level to the \DCIM folder, and then right-click the thumbdata3--1967290299.txt file name. ("Right click" means hold your finger down on the name until a menu appears.)
7. From the menu, choose Rename, and then rename thumbdata3--1967290299.txt to .thumbdata3--1967290299 -- (a) add the dot (.) to the start of the file name, and (b) erase the ".txt" from the end of the file name.
8. Click OK (or Rename) to finish renaming.
9. Right click the file name, and then choose Move (or Cut).
10. Navigate down to the .thumbnails folder, and then tap Paste.
The dummy file will now prevent Android from creating the huge index file.

I just answered this in another post but check it
I have root on my device, so I did the following.
Using Root explorer I went to the folder /DCIM/.thumbnails (hidden) and deleted the huge file. Then with the "+" I chose "New file" and named it the same as the previous .thumbdata3-.... it created a file that is 0 Bytes and then I went and used the camera and the apps, so far the file stays the same size, so maybe that trick will work for others too. Good luck.
Id like to pull wallpapers from one rom and add to another but I cant find the location of the wallpapers. Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Thank you
What's needed: Astro file manager with root access. (Root Explorer will work too, but this tutorial is for the free Astro, so steps may be a little different on RE).
From Astro file management (download it from the market if you don't have it, you need to be rooted too), press the "up" button until you're at the highest level. Now press "system", then "app", and then find "TwWallpaperChooser" (you'll see two, choose the largest of them, it also has the android icon instead of plain white. I've read that this package file may also be called "Launcher" or "Launcher2"). When the "Application File" window pops up, choose "browse file". Go into the "res" folder, and then into "drawable-hdpi". All your wallpapers are in there. You can either copy the "drawable-hdpi" folder onto your SD card using Astro file manager, or copy individual wallpapers from within.
How to copy and paste with Astro:
1) Long click on an item (in this case, the drawable-hdpi folder or an image).
2) Choose Edit.
3) Choose Copy.
4) With Astro, navigate to the destination you would like to save to.
5) Press your menu button.
6) Press Edit.
7) Press Paste (it will be grayed out if you cannot paste there).
There you go, you've just extracted your stock OS wallpapers, and you didn't even need the big, red "That was easy!" button.

Thanks kenny,sorry for the mistake!
I have aftv gaming edition and I want to copy files to my sdcard. I have es file explorer mapped to a network drive but cannot select a file or folder to copy to the sd card. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
In es file explorer a long press will select the file, then 3 clicks down will move you to the lower navigation bar, then go to the right and use the "More" menu.
You can also move multiple files at once this way.
Wow. Man Thanks I should have known that.
