I am sorry that the process is proving so difficult. The initial setup of Mnemogogo/dodo is sometimes frustrating, but after that it normally works smoothly. Have you been following the step-by-step instructions at: http://www.tbrk.org/software/mnemogogo.html#config There are basically two phases: 1. Getting the exported cards onto your phone. There are basically three approaches, in order : a. Mount your phone as a USB drive and export directly from Mnemogogo into a sub folder. b. Export from Mnemogogo into a Dropbox (or other) folder and wait for it to synchronize with your phone. c. Export from Mnemogogo into any folder and then copy/transfer that folder manually onto your phone using any technique that works (file synchronization, proprietary syncing software, etc.). Method (c) is not ideal but it is often a good way to debug problems. Please check the exported folder (ideally, once it is on your phone) to ensure that it contains at least the files STATS.CSV, CARDS, CATS, IDS and CONFIG. It is important that the names are all upper-case (in the past, some OS/phone combinations have messed with the file names). 2. Having Mnemododo find the exported cards. Sadly, this is sometimes trickier than it should be. There are two options: a. Fully automatic search This sometimes takes too long (for complicated directory structures) or fails completely (for reasons that have never been clear). b. Restricted directory search You can enter a path in the settings dialog box to restrict the search to a subdirectory. This technique should always work, but getting the path name right can be tricky. I have implemented, but not yet released, a third option: c. Restrict the initial search to the /Android/data/org.tbrk.mnemododo subdirectory and only fall back to options (a)/(b) if nothing is found. This subdirectory is the one recommended by the Android API for storing application-specific files. The development version of Mnemododo creates it on first startup so that it can then be found without confusion. The only risk with this option is that the directory is completely deleted on uninstall. This shouldn't normally be a problem but it does introduce a slight risk of losing review data (something that I take great pains to avoid!). Some earlier Android versions (at least in the emulator) deleted this subdirectory on upgrade, but this bug seems to have been corrected. Are you able to complete Phase 1 successfully? If so, what goes wrong at Phase 2? Would you be willing to try the development version if I send it to you via private email? Tim.
