Droid DNA File Manager? If No How to Install One? - HTC Droid DNA

Hi
Recently inherited a Droid DNA that would like to use only for Audio & Video (No phone, Internet...)
Looked for a file manager app. Did not find any. Downloaded the man http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf and did quick search also nothing.
Is there a hidden file manager? If not appreciate suggestions how to install one.
Have access to a Windows 7 PC but wonder if 1st need to install a HTC Droid DNA driver?
Thanks
Ken

Update
Searched and found Verizon User Guide for phone http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf
Read entire guide, no mention of a File Manager.
Decided to check App Manager (which should have done 1st) and under All found listed Android File Manager v5.5.24..... (408 KB) and enabled.
Am wondering why it did not show on Home Screen, so rechecked User Guide.
Found p87 "Adding apps and other shortcuts on your Home screen" and followed instructions "1. Go to Settings, and then tap Personalize. 2. Tap Customize home screen. 3. Tap > Apps or Shortcuts. You can: ยง Swipe to browse through the apps or shortcuts"
Somehow All Apps never opened (only Apps already on Home screen).
Then tried "Tap to search for specific apps or shortcuts" when did this No Keyboard opened...
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Will add, since the phone had many apps disabled when I got it, am wondering if some necessary files are disabled?
Thanks
Ken

[Q] JBed for X10i, that actually works

Hi there
Before I installed Eternity 2 on my phone, I had an installation of JBed. That I could run, but instead of listing jar apps in the root of my SDcard, it showed nothing and in the menu there were useless options labeled "reserved", so no advanced options to set where it should search for jars.
So if someone can link me a JBed, that is working and please attach screenshots, too, to prove it
Thanks in advance

Once rooted... where is the settings for "Uknown Sources"

I am already rooted and everything is fine. Have the Android Market and so forth already running. What I am trying to figure out is where in settings was the options to use Unknown Sources and Debugging. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it not accessible even after rooted? Is there an app that lets you get into those options?
Also on another note. Where does anything downloaded for an app store or other files go to. On my Galaxy Tab there is a folder on the root SD called downloads. There is nothing like that here on the Nook. I downloaded Getjar but didn't install it. Can't seem to find where the apk is now to install it.
Go to your Applications and click on tgps_launcher and hit Start.
Everything you want is there.
I must be completely dense today. What is tgps_launcher?
It pretty much brings up the hidden development settings.
When you rooted, you put it on your NT to enable USB debugging, unknown sources, etc.
I don't see anything called that at all. No app at least that I can see. You sure it is on my Nook now. I used the below way to root on my mac...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19592179&postcount=1
and gave me the following apps...
1) Go Launcher Ex (Rooted App Launch/Desktop)
2) Market Place (The Android "App Store")
3) Button Savior (adds tiny button on right of screen for nagivation home/back etc)
4) Home Catcher (makes 2 clicks of the Nook N bring up the new Launcher)
5) Nook Color App Menu (allows you to install sideloaded apps to the Nook home screen/Library)
6) Dolphin HD Browser (Replacement web browser)
Go to Indirect's thread on rooting and DL the tgps_launcher.apk there.
Then hit the "n" button, touch search, type in "tgps", you should be able to see it and launch it right out of the search results. Once it has launched, touch "start" and you will be at the menu you want.
ETA: Here is a link to Indirect's thread. Find this bit
Code:
here is an app to pull up usb debugging menu
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/...s_launcher.apk
and DL that file right onto your Nook.
Look for Appmenu - this will take you to menu settings where you'll see development, etc.
- AppMenu
- Open Application Settings
- check Unknown Sources
- Development - check USB Debugging, etc

Is Appmenu an actual app in the app store or something within settings?

I don't have mine in front of me at the moment, but it's not on the SDCard. It's under My Files/Downloads somewhere in the B&N data folders in the actual tablet storage. Just don't remember where exactly off the top of my head without looking at it.
If you have a launcher installed look to see if you already have it, otherwise:

Thanks everyone for your responses and help. Greatly appreciated.
Now that I got a chance to look, actual location for downloads is media/My Files/My Downloads in the root directory of the tablet.

Uninstall Some Special Apps

Hey Friends,
Today I am gonna show you the way to uninstall some special apps.
Friends you might had / have come across to such situation in which some app doesn't get uninstalled by task manager, file manager etc.
Some apps like apps related to some mobile security have to be uninstalled by following steps:
1.) Just Goto the settings menu of your mobile & Goto 'Location and Security' & it will just look like image 1 of the attachment.
2) Then in that just goto 'Select Device Administrator' tab as it sees in the image 2 of attachment.
3) Then entering in that will open the list of apps(If any present) with check box at right side of the screen which will look like image 3 in the attachment below.
Hope everybody have got my point.
Please rep if anybody has query.
Thank you
No device administratos avail.

Bridgeman

Good day. Can you please help me with installing this app. It is called Bridgeman. And the installers consist of 5 apks. Namely:
* BridgeMan_1.0.apk
* Celestial_1.0.apk
* Misc_1.0.apk
* Tides_1.0.apk
* Voyage_1.0.apk
I got these installers from my phone that has a successfully installed Bridgeman. I used an app called File Expert to get these apks. Wellabout the app. The app is just a one icon app but it consist of manyparts. The main app is the Bridgeman. When you open it, it consist offour menu which are: Voyage, Celestial, Tides and Misc.
When I installed only Bridgeman.apk I can see the menu, but noresponse when I press any of the four. So that's when I saw the fourapk of the menu. And I installed all of them. Now when I press a menufor example Voyage. I get sent to a new page like how it is supposed to work. But after sending me to a new page I just get kicked back out to the main menu.
Weirdly enough the Misc menu is the only one that is working. But Celestial, Voyage and Tides do not work and just gives me a blackscreen and get kicked back out to the main menu.
I also included a zip file of what I got from sdcard0/Bridgeman folder. If this would help.
My phone that has a working Bridgeman is an LG-E510 and 2.3.4 AndroidVersion. While the one I am trying to install is a Samsung Galaxy S2International and 4.1.2 Android Version.
Can anyone help me on this?Do I need to copy some files from the old one? Am I missing files?
I don't think the problem is in the File Expert because I justtransferred a calculator app by the same process. But I could be wrong on this. Anyways the calculator is just a one app apk so it's muchsimpler, unlike this that have many apks. It seems when I press for example the Voyage the page or line that must be executed when I pressthat cannot execute somehow. If this help.

Re: bridgeman
I suggest to seek technical support sending an email or calling their office since the developer's website is googleable(I have googled the word "BridgeMan Android" and found their developer's official website is ww.deckmaster.com.ph(Just add another w), I assumed that you can find a way to communicate with the developer

No option to make Default Apps

Hello Forum,
Usually when you tap a link or document for the first time on a new device, you are presented with an list giving you the option to make one of the apps on the device the default app to open the link or document from now on.
In my case I just get a generic Android system error with a "report" button.
I solved the opening a link problem by using the option in Firefox to make it the default app.
However, for documents and anything else that may come my way, will crash instead of getting the familiar menu option mentioned above.
Any ideas, please?
Possibly an option that is turned on or off in system?
This is a stock ROM direct from Xiaomi. MIUI 10.1 Stable.
Thanks in advance.
I am using Solid Explorer file manager, there's such menu like you mentioned.
