ES File Explorer Question

[markdoc]

I have written to support at least five times without getting s response. I need to know where (what file) does the app keep the created gestures. I'm switching phones and trying to transfer all the settings. I've used their backup and restore, the app "Helium", and manually moving files that could hold the gestures. All without success. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Dr Mark W Helfand

I don't use that app, but I do use Dolphin browser which allows gestures. Try checking under "Local" in your ES file explorer, and look for the name of your app. The gestures file may appear in the app's folder as mine do for my browser. I hope this helps!

That would be in app data, so it should have backed up with Helium.

First, thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, Helium didn't back it up. After searching through the file structure, I found the files in "/sdcard/.estrongs/*.*". Note the "." at the beginning of estrong. When I copied those files to my new phone, the gestures were there.

Oh good, I'm glad you found them. I wonder why Helium wouldn't back that up.

I finally got a response from EStrongs. ES File Explorer doesn't backup the gestures or themes. They said it will in the future. I guess where I found the Gesture file is not in the normal place where setting files are stored. Therefore, Helium doesn't pick it up. I'll write to Helium and ask them.
