Have cm11 installed. I can navigate to the internal storage "download" folder which both gmail and fireFox use as the download location, yet when I open the "Downloads" app, it shows no items.
How can I change the app to point to the right location?

How I can organize picture in "Photo" gallery?
If you want separate albums: this can be done, but not from the Photo app itself.
For this you can best use an android File Manager, e.g. Astro.
First create a folder "Photos" inside /sdcard, and then one or more album folders inside Photos. Name them whatever you want!
Then use Astro to move files into the new folders. Go to /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA and find them Then activate "Multi File"-mode using the Multi button. Next, select multiple files by short-pressing on them one by one, and when you are done choose Edit -> Move. Now navigate to the target folder, and do Edit -> Paste. Repeat for the next album!
You might also do this from your PC, with the phone connected as a USB drive. But I believe the Gallery app needs Image thumbnails to work, which ARE created when Astro does the moving, and which ARE NOT created when you use your PC + USB to move them.
Good luck with it!
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
Sorry guys my parents bought this phone and I don't own one so I don't know how else to help them. They were wondering where the download folder was since it seems the note 4 doesn't have that specific folder in the apps directory anymore. Also the my files doesn't seem like it has an all files folder either. So how do you check and delete downloaded files?
The my files app has a section for it.
Its in the local storage section of the my files app. you can see all your files there.
Google might be able to help you also.

Also, my files app, settings, then check show hidden files.
Call me a noob, but when I copy files in the "Download" folder (My Files>Device Storage) and I open Dropbox and select to Upload "Other Files", Dropbox goes immediately to the Downloads folder which is blank. I would like to know where the heck this "Downloads" (shown in dropbox) is located. I don't think Downloads in dropbox is the same as Download in Device Storage.
solution to this annoying problem that occurs in the gallery? I installed messanger Facebook or other applications I appear emoticons.
You need to have have a file on the map you want to exclude from the HTC gallery named ".nomedia" then this folder will be excluded from scans from HTC gallery. If you look on external sd and then on the folder Android you will see such a file, copy it and paste it on the root of the folders you want to exclude.
the folder is not there, you could explain? the destination folder and paste it where I find it?
Open the Gallery app tap the settings icon in the top right corner (the 3 dots) and choose "Show/hide albums".
Now you can choose which albums is visible in the Gallery app.

sorry I meant sd card>android>data then you will see a file named ".nomedia" copy it and put it on the folders/maps you want to exclude from scanning.
That file is also present in other folders just search a bit with (htc) file explorer.

I did not understand what folder copy / maps you want to exclude from scanning?
HTC gallery app scans your maps/folders looking for images. In the facebook messenger folder ( internal memory or external) there are images that's why you see them on the HTC gallery. If you use the ".nomedia" file and put it on the root of the facebook messenger folder then HTC gallery will not scan this folder for images and therefore you will not see them .on the gallery.
I installed Simplemind Pro and have Dropbox installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 Android 4.4.2 phone.
I'd like to set up Simplemind to save and read files to Dropbox which it is supposed to do.
Below are your instructions on how to do this along with what happened when I followed them:
How to connect SimpleMind for Android to Dropbox
Make sure the Dropbox app for Android is installed. YES
Open SimpleMind and tap the Mind Maps button YES
Top left in this window's toolbar you'll see navigation tabs as depicted on the right. Initially this will usually be "Local". Tap that to see supported clouds and select Dropbox. YES
If Dropbox is not visible in this list, use "Cloud Setup" to enable Dropbox support. VISIBLE
Selecting Dropbox from the navigation Tabs, opens the build-in Dropbox Explorer. AN EXPLORER DOESN'T OPEN. THERE IS A TEXT BOX THAT SAYS "CONNECT TO DROPBOX". WHEN I SELECT THIS I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE: "CANNOT SETUP DROPBOX: UNABLE TO ACCESS PUBLIC STORAGE".
In this Explorer authenticate with Dropbox using the "Connect to Dropbox" command. This prompts you for confirmation to let SimpleMind access your Dropbox folder. I NEVER GOT ANY SORT OF PROMPT TO LOGIN AND CONNECT.
I've been told that this is because Simplemind is not finding a public folder. I don't know if I have one, where it would be, how to set it up, etc.
Any ideas?
