Probably need education on this. I'Rve been reading about /0 directories on 4.2.2 ROMS, and in searching found a comment about each time you update, you bet another /0 under /0.
What I've read is that it is on sdcard.
I go into ES File Explorer, go all the way up in the directoroy structure, and then to device, then to sdcard, and I do not find a 0 directory.
I'm on Liquid Smooth, which is a 4.2.2 ROM.
Not sure what else to search on to get this figured out.

If you wipe properly you won't get multiple/0 folders.
A lot of the good file explorers don't show the /0 they show as sdcard0

Thanks so much.
I now do see that when I expand at the left in ES there is a 0 and and sdcard1. And when I go to device root, then into sdcard, I guess it's taking me to 0. A bit confusing.
Well the internal sdcard is labeled as sdcard0, nit to be confused with the /0 folder. The 0 folder is actually located in data/media/0, while on tw ROMS, the internal sd stores stuff one level up in data/media.

Hmmm....When I go into ES File Explorer, and then to Device, then Data, the Data folder is empty. My show hidden files setting is turned on.
Am I missing something?
did you manually give ES File Explorer root permissions? this was my biggest and longest troubleshoot step i had.
Yeah, you need root permissions to even see that stuff. Good catch

or... only use root explorer. None of that manually having to give root permissions and you always start at the root directory. There's nothing better
Some ppl don't like paying for apps. If I had known es had root capability, I would probably not have Root Explorer

That's it. I've used ES for quite a while, and this newer version does not ask for root permissions, unless you select to go to root explorer tool. I didn't realize that.
On topic of Root Explorer, I do own it too, but haven't used for a long time. I like how ES allows hooking to PCs, etc. Of course, for all I know, maybe Root Explorer does that now too.
Thanks folks, I appreciate the help.

So I'm slogging around with a file explorer looking at all the neat stuff in my rooted EVO 4G (rooted only). I see all the canned apps, like the Amazon MP3, Sprint crap - in the /apps folder....
...but where are all my downloaded/installed apps - the ones I haven't been able (or just chose not to) move to my SD card - things like the Astro file browser, or my Wireless Tether -- where are those .APKs? They're not in the same directory as the canned ones.

Depending on your configuration, your "3rd party" apps can be found in the /data/app folder
or
/system/sd/app folder
they are in /data/app
My data folder shows as empty in both ES and Astro. This some sort of file perm thing?

didn't have a system/sd/app folder and the /data/app folder shows as empty with both Astro and ES. I'm guessing it's a file permission thing, why I'm not seeing them with these phone browsers.

You're very welcome, my friend. Also, get into the habit of copying those 3rd party apps to a separate folder on your SD card or an external drive, just in case.

I have titanium backup keeping copies to the SD card, plus sending to my dropbox. I'm also keeping copies of my nandroid and ruu there on dropbox, just for sanity sake.
The reason Astro and ES won't show anything in /data/app is because to access that folder in /data, you need Root permissions, which I'm guessing those apps don't get.
As RootExplorer's name suggests, it gets root and so can browse through that folder and others.
Where is game / app data stored / folder location in Ice Cream Sandwich ICS?
In GB, it was stored in: /data/data/
But that folder is empty in ICS?
I'm trying to find a way to backup the progress of all my games before having to reset the device in order to root it.
I think you need to use root explorer to copy and paste the file somewhere else so you have access to it. Don't know for sure.

My phone is not rooted but I did installed ES Explorer from the market and it does let me look at system folders.
I looked in the /data/data folder where game/app data is usually stored/located but it was empty?

Shameless plug, but I have a guide for this here
If you have a specific game you want to back up, you can just do a command such as:
adb backup com.zeptolab.ctr-paid /backup/cutTheRopeBackup.ab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you add the flag -apk to the command, it'll back up the APK as well. Basically, just add the package names in order that you would like to back up (the downside to this is that you have to know the full package names for the apps), or just do a -all backup to backup everything.
Thanks! Still will be nice to know where Google moved /data/data/ to in Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)

I have since, been rooted!
I am looking for the data in my phone but I can't found it,
My phone is rooted,
In the root folder I have and data folder, but is empty,
I also have an datadata folder and is also empty.
I have the OI file manager.
There's apps for that lol
EDIT : I forgot but it backups your data as well.
I use App Backup Restore by INFOLIFE religiously every flash, I actually back them up to an external HD because of the numerous times I'd forget and flash anyways.
And as for your actual question mine are located in /sdcard/Android/data/
I use Root Explorer and File Manager(free) and they both seem to work great when it comes to locating files howeverrrr! I did just come across a bug myself, I usually ADB my game data files with no problem but when I tried a big file size (ie. The dark knight rises), it said it was on the phone (settings/storage) but I couldn't find the file for the life of me with any file manager which resulted in a re-flash. I hope you have better luck!

I downloaded a new boot animation. I'm trying to move it to /system/customize/resourses but es file explorer and Astros say file cannot be moved. I was able to move the original file out. Now I can't even move the original back. In ES I made sure the root explorer and mount file system boxes are checked. I have the permissions checked but still nothing can be moved in.

Does either of those apps have root permissions? Idk cuz I don't use them..but its easy to just use adb to manually push the file

Use Root Explorer. So worth the $2. I don't use astro or ES, but if you can't copy or move anything in or from the root directory then / is probably not mounted as r/w. Look for an option while in the root directory that says "mount as r/w"

Yep root explorer is your best option. adb push can be used to, but its command line only.
Well I know what caused me to have this issue but I do not know the details why.
I was running the Mikrunny Odex ROM with the Red theme. I wanted to give the Coredroid theme a try so I installed the theme and this issue started. After many hours of trying to fix this I restored my backup from a couple weeks ago that has the red theme and all is good again. To reduplicate the issue I reinstalled the Coredroid theme and the issue returned.
I use es file explorer and i have no issues moving things to the system folders whenever I want. If its not working you may try to uninstall and reinstall the app and then go to the settings and make sure you check browse as root and mount system as r/w.

Yep, did that too. I think it had something to do with a theme I installed. When I restored a previous backup I could use ES just fine to move the boot animation file.
