App Associate Folder - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why when I install an apps (on kitkat 4.4.4) do they create App Associate Folders on both the internal and external storage?
Is it down to the individual app installation setting, android setting or is that just the standard?
Thanks

Free app to encrypt text file and launch it with external app?

I need free app to encrypt/decrypt text file and launch it with external app from the share menu? I do not want to edit or view the file inside the encryption app. I want the app to just encrypt the file on the fly when i open the file from it and pass it to external app by choice. Can you suggest such app?
I searched numerous in the market but they either open inside (no search features) or do not work at all.
Thank you.
No one seen such app?
i'm looking for that app too

Create folders in gallery

Hi all
I see that I am able to create folders in the gallery app but it is residing in the sdcard folder? How do I change it to external sdcard?
I tried clearing the "miscellaneous files" in the settings > storage and now I lost all those pictures!!
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
uh..nobody knows?
it would be easier if you create a folder in sdcard, then copy 1 image file into it via file explorer.
It will start showing in gallery, then drag and drop the files into the new folder via gallery only.

[Q] Help Restoring LectureNotes Files

My tablet decided to unexpectedly crashed on me but thankfully I had backed up some of my lecture notes. Sadly not all of them. When I back them up I didn't use the Zip function. I just had folder sync copy the LectureNotes stored them. I've tried just copying and pasting them back into the new Lecturenotes folder but it doesn't display them on the Notebooks Board.
How can I get LectureNotes to read the older files that it created?
I'm on the Wifi only Galaxy 10.1 2014 Edition running android 4.4.2.
If you need more information feel free to ask question. I'll do my best to answer them.
@Icon000: Copying the files back into the app directory should actually do the job.
Before the hardware crash, did you use a custom app directory in LectureNotes? If so, have you set it again?

I'm like 85% sure no. I did mess with a lot of the settings. I couldn't set it up again since it was pre-KitKat and it would have been on my SD card in Folders I created to be similar to the way it is set up by default.
The way I found the LN folder last time was by just creating a new notebook in the empty lecturenotes and give it an unique easy to find name like ln123456. Then just use search functionality of your filemanager to find that folder and copy your old lecturenotes files over.
@Icon000: To which location did you copy the files?
The standard app directory follows an Android standard and is Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files, starting in the root of the SD card.

@acadoid, Sorry for the delay, I've been busy. So how do I now move that the contents of that director to the SD card considering the limitation of Kitkat, where apps can modify files they create?
@Icon000: The constraints in Android 4.4 (KITKAT) apply to the external SD card, not the internal one.
On the external SD card, the path that is accessible under Android 4.4 (KITKAT) is Android/data/com.acadoid.lecturenotes/files (in fact the same path as the standard app directory on the internal SD card).

okay, I was trying to move it off the internal to the external so should something happen to the tablet the files aren't completely lost. I was told that the native file manager can do more than 3rd party managers as a result of these new restrictions.
@Icon000: It might be that a file manager app that shipped with the device has the permission to write everywhere on the external SD card.
Note that you can easily restore pre-KITKAT behavior of the external SD card if your device is rooted.

@acadoid, thank you for the recommendation of rooting. At this time I am considering it.
While I have your attention have you considered adding another way to view the folder structure where a list of the structure is on the left 1/3 and on the other 2/3 have the contents of the selected folder and relevant information such as modification dates.
I ask because I have a lot of folders and its getting hard to manage them even in the ultra compact view. What do you view and relevant settings do you suggest for when you have a lor of folders and notebooks?
@Icon000: I use `ultra compact´ with `display as tree´ and `display mini-icons´ (the latter allows a distinction by cover color).

"Downloads" app is empty

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 to backup Dual App?

Redmi Note 5 CN has been changed to Global ROM.
And Rooted with Magisk via TWRP.
My question is How i can backup/restore an app created by Dual App function.
I tried Titanium Backup but It only displays Original app not the dual app.
Guess Titanium Backup could not recognize /data/user/999 than /data/user/0.
Also tried Titanium Backup to be dual app, however it couldn't give root permission on dual app of Titanium Backup.
Any help or suggestion would be very appreciated.
ps. the app i want to restore from other two phone into redmi note 5 CN is KakaoTalk, a messenger.
have you managed?
Just copy all files and folders from /999
Create dual app and restore / paste files and folders.
I do like this with WhatsApp. Of course you need root.
I copied files of '999' to '0' but when I open Whatsapp I don't have the validated whatsapp of dual app.
How I could do this?

Any rooted file manager should work.
You can use miui file manager } storage for dual apps
I'm using solid explorer: root } storage } emulated } 999
Just copy and backup the old WhatsApp folder.
If you like to reinstall backup: create new dual WhatsApp and replace folder with backup folder before you first time open WhatsApp.
