When you want to move some files into Android filesystem, you need to move them into /home/nemo/ first, and then CP them into /sdcard/. Somekind of symlink between folders might work aswell.

This is not an issue because you can access /home/nemo/ directly from android apps.

To make it easier in Android just make symlink to /sdcard in /home/nemo/ and you are done.

Maybe we need such symlink in the default configuration.

Actually atleast FPSE doesn't let me access /home/nemo/ from Android. It shows /sdcard and after going "up" it just shows "Internal storage", which is /sdcard/

@jjyks I see /home/nemo in android file browser, so this is probably limitation of that Android app

Yes probarly. I just created symlink between folder "/home/nemo/android" which i just created, and "/sdcard/nemo", and gave both folders full permissions with chmod 777. Works flawlessly now, but this is imo something that they could integrate into Android support for easiness.

You can create symlink in terminal between visible filesystem and Alien dalviks /sdcard/. Personally i decided to create new folder called Android in /home/nemo/, and link it into /sdcard/nemo

Tutorial:

  • open terminal
  • mkdir /home/nemo/Android (or create it while connected to your PC)
  • devel-su ln -s /home/nemo/Android /sdcard/nemo (creates folder nemo automatically)
  • chmod 777 /home/nemo/Android (Android app FPSE couldn't remove files from symlinked folder but this fixed it. Not needed if you don't need write access in this folder.)
