I am looking for 3 things.
1. Is there a way to disable video uploading? I only want to back up photos.
2. Is there a way to force dropbox to only upload when connected to a charger? I find the lack of this option in the app to be ridiculous really. I thought dropbox would be a fairly mature app by now.
3. How can I disable the uploading of the screenshot folder? I really have no need to back up these and it just clutters the camera upload folder.
I am rooted so if there is any root way to do it then do tell me. And if there is some other service that can provide me with all these features then do tell as well.
Thanks.
The first two can't really be solved, unless dropbox adds that functionality. For the third one you could try adding .nomedia file to screenshots folder and see what dropbox does about it. .nomedia file hides particular folder from being searchable by android aps like gallery and music, so it might work for dropbox too. Worth a try. You still would be able to access screenshots through file manager

That would be annoying as I share screenshots on whatsapp and facebook frequently so I'll just deal with it. Thanks for your input.

@Gambler_3: did you try the solution that @jake9891 suggested? Did the .nomedia file worked without messing things up?

Thanks for pointing out that you find a solution by using a thrid party app.
I know that app is good, but i would like to find a "workaround" with the official dropbox app.

I'm looking to find the directory where apps go when they are downloaded. I have ES File Explorer.
Do you mean apps downloaded and installed from the market? If so, generally the .apk files go to data/app.

Is there a spot where they are stored after downloading, but before installation?
Try /sdcard/Download

Looked all through my SD card and did not find what I was looking for (I don't have a /sdcard/Download directory BTW). I'm looking for the ATVAndroidClient Amazon Video apk, because I saw one post where the user got it to successfully install when selected directly from its directory location. I too am having trouble getting it to install when I just select it from the popup window after it's dl'd.
The directory structure is pretty annoying on this (and I guess android). I find multiple (3,4,5+) locations for downloads (and books, media, etc). Each browser puts it somewhere else, etc usually without asking. Anyway, easiest thing to do is to do a search with a file manager (root explorer, file expert) to find where you downloaded something.
It is in /cache as downloadfile.apk

Alright! I am glad you kept trying and finally got it figured out. Very cool.
I somehow lost the stock Nook "My Media" app. Can someone post up an apk so I don't have to reset in order to get it back?
Here you go...

be advised, Indirect has a much cooler setup than the default.

Mind putting the APK up again? The link's dead...
I do prefer Indirect's set-up, but I can't access my screenshots through the 3D Gallery.

If you ever lose a system app again, you can do an "adb push" from your computer. Just download the firmware and unzip it and you will find the files you need. Getting the file posted can be easier but not having to wait for someone to respond can be quicker.

Related question... when I try to add an attachment to an email the "My Media" is the only option remotely close to being able to browse for a file - how do I replace it with (or simply add) a real file browser?
Also, where can I put a file so that it actually shows up in My Media???
Couldn't you just use ES Explorer or any file manager with root access and reinstall the gallery.apk located in "System\App"?
Or maybe I'm missing something.

Is that the Nook Gallery ("My Media") or the standard Android Gallery app?
I'm trying to replace the crappy and very limited Nook one...
Would I just install another gallery to replace the My Media?
EDIT: I just clicked on it and chose install, I guess it IS the "My Media". Have you used "My Media"? I want something like a regular browser that let's me attach files (when sending emails) other than just the pictures that come with the NT.... Also would like a gallery type browser in addition to the Root Browser I have installed...
With Enhanced Email, I can attach any type file from anywhere using Gallery, My Media, Quickoffice, sound recorder or any of my file managers.
help?

Sorry to be a noob, but where is the firmware zip?
I'd like to reinstall a couple of things I de-blated prematurely. Thanks for any help any of you have.
So whenever I take pictures or add pictures to my phone, a separate thumbnail folder with duplicates of all my pictures gets created. I was just wondering what this was? And can I delete it without losing the rest of my pictures?

Freeze it. Backup. Remove.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
Can't freeze because it isn't an app...

It sounds like it might be the directory where they store the thumbnails you see in the gallery app. Where is this folder located? I can give it a look.

Ok the folder is located in sdcard/dcim and I'm running cm7. You're probably right about what it is but I was just wondering if it was necessary. It flutters up my gallery with a bunch of duplicates :/.

I don't have cm7 flashed ATM, but I know in the MIUI gallery app, you can hide certain areas of the file system from being scanned for images. Maybe there is a similar option in cyanogen?
Guys as you would know verizon didnt add stock samsung photo editor to the phone and its not available from play store either. So i was able to get my hands on an apk if anyone needs.
I have tried it on my note 2 and it works flawlessly.

I have the stock calendar widget APK from the Sprint Note 2. It works, but force closes a couple times when you first add the 4x4 calendar widget, but seems to work well after that. I think the issue might be that I got the APK and not the odex file. So I'm running the sprint note 2 calendar widget with the original odex file. I'm waiting for the user over in the sprint forum who provided the apk to send me a odex file. I'm not a developer so I'm not sure if this is really a possible cause for the issue. I'm just grabbing at straws.
Fixed my issues. Instructions are in the general section. Maybe it should be moved to this section. I dont know...
I installed this app just like any other APK and it Force closes. Not only that but now other apps FC like Maps etc. Any suggestions besides rooting and fixing permissions? Also I when the App does work I can only use half of the features. I really want to wait for CWM tar to root.

I finally got the stock LG Music app to install on the AT&T H910 last night!
Download one of the stock music APKs that are floating around. Then go to the Play Store and download APK Editor by SteelWorks.
Open APK Editor and tap Select an APK File. Navigate to your download folder and tap the music player APK and select Full Edit (Resource re-build). Once it opens, touch Manifest in the lower right corner. Then don't edit anything. Just hit Save in the upper right corner. The APK Editor then rebuilds and re-signs the APK. Clear out of the ad that serves up next and hit install at the bottom. It should install now that it's been signed.
Enjoy!
I tried this but was unable to get it to work with any of the .apk files in this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-music-app-t3488769 do you happen to have a link to the music apk you downloaded?
Try this one. I either used this one or one I extracted from another ROM
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B72...w?usp=drivesdk
If I have time tonight I can try to share the signed APK the app produced.
there was no app in the link, but i did take your advice and downloaded a rom and extracted that app from there. worked like a charm.... thank you!
This is FANTASTIC news. can some one please post the working apk? thanks soooo much

So I tried like a dozen of stock LG music apps on my unrooted Sprint's V20 and noone of them eventually worked even after appying that APK Editor "trick"! No installation at all, install with FCs and installed no FCs but FCs on attemps to play any song ((
Seems to be the case for other stock LG apps floating around the forum like Calendar, Email, Gallery and so on. You gotta have root and change permissions to install these apps and make em work properly! Only old version of Calculator work ok and works in sideapps, just hope that XDA masterminds will come up with a nice custom rom cotaining all of the stock apps working no prob!
I got my lg music app to work and some can confirm that it works. No FCs or anything. I'm also unrooted.

If you tried the link in the OP I believe they are taken down or just got removed. I'll send you a PM for the lg music all you have to do is just download it and install. As for the other apps I have those as well. I can send them to you but you will have to do the same steps as the Op stated for those because I don't actually need them at this time.
