Was wondering if anyone knows what .aid.bak is. I only noticed it in the root folder because i was using retroarch and it shows hidden files by default. After enabling hidden files in astro and my file managers i see it in those as well.

I have searched the forum and can't seem to find any help on this, but where are the apps located on the MTP view for the system? I am trying to load backup files for certain apps and can't find the folders for the life of me.
I really miss the easy SDCARD view .
You will not be able to see apps in MTP view, use Astro or any other file viewer on the device. I am not sure if its possible to use something like airdroid to see or not.

I tried using Astro but could not locate. Do you guys know where they are on the system folders?
Using ES file explorer I see:
the apk files in /system/app
the binaries in /system/bin
most of the data is in various directories on /sdcard
Try using ptp mode instead of mtp; it seems to show more file types, at least on my win7
Airdroid is also good.
You can't see /system with MTP. MTP/PTP allow you to access the "sdcard" which is really just another folder of sorts.
that's a known down side of the MTP
just use root browser or Rom Toolbox
Hi everyone. When I'm connected to my pc in MTP mode and try to browse, certain files and folders are invisible. The folders in particular I'm trying to access are my app folders under Android\Data\ specifically my kindle app folder to place a few pdfs to read in there. These folders were visible before I rooted my phone and installed my current ROM, also I know they are there because I can browse them in my file manager app. I am currently running the latest build of CM9.
If anyone could explain to me how to fix this issue that would be great. Also I know there are ways to still move my pdfs into this folder but I would prefer the simple copy paste route. Thanks.
I keep uh...a few hidden folders on my phone for certain files i dont want loaded in general apps (gallery, video player, etc)
However ive noticed that sense flashing to a custom rom (codename android 2.0 RC) im not able to access these folders via MTP USB connection to my PC. Its not a huge deal, as i can access the files and move it to the appropriate folder but is there a fix for this? i have a folder called .stuff that i cannot access via my PC...but can via root explorer.
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Linux, you could need to press ctrl and h to view hidden data.
Windows, you would have to change your explorer preferences...
You could also just put a .nomedia file in the folder you don't want media players to see.
Using windows.
They aren't set to be hidden in properties.
Just when you put a . In front of the folder name it hides it from media players in android.
Putting a no media file inside will hide all the files as opposed to just hiding the folder from say dice player. As it has a toggle to show hidden folders. It was perfect. Just cant access the .folders in windows anymore. Is this a cm9 bug? Didn't have this issue on my stock rom

I have the same Problem I simply solved it by going into the default file explorer enabling hidden files and copying the files into other directories which I can access on the PC.

Yes why not, but if i understand in mtp mode no hidden files, in the windows explorer. What a shame, really i dislike MTP protocol, the usb mass storage was more easy
Thanks
How can I access the "addons" folder? I don't see it when browsing the folder structure in XBMC. Is it a hidden folder?
Yes, it's a hidden folder. Enable the option to show hidden folders in whatever app you're using to view the files.
