what have orange done, it should be a crime

Try another file manager, some cannot see some files....try xplore

edit: so it is there ?

because you are on ics with stupid mtp, no usb storage lol, some files cannot be seen, I had this problem other day.

I think it is mtp which is what ics uses, there is no mass usb storage.

[shootomanUK]

ok i got it, its 565MB does that seem right ?

[jikobutsu]

Yeah mine was 409mb.....all that extra is orange bloat

[shootomanUK]

ok ive zipped up the system.tar so its only 329MB now easier to upload

[shootomanUK]

where is best for uploading ?
