Android is Linux based so look for Linux directory structure explanation which many on the web. In general /etc is commonly used to store various system settings (of daemons, services etc) and /dev refers to phisicial devices available in the system. This looks like a read that could cast some light: http://www.goitexpert.com/general/a-guide-to-linux-directory-structure--part-one/ You usually do not write access to these folders unless rooted and even so, you may also not need that as playing with these may brick your device if you do not know what are you doing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
