Cool, but why can't I see this hierarchy when I plug my HTC Droid into my Mac? I certainly don't see a /data/data directory, even with ls -a. Do I have to root

- juliano_q 15y agoI dont know why it happens, but I "resolved" it by rooting the device and downloading the app Root Explorer.

- yuliyp 15y agoIf you want to look at the full hierarchy, get the android developer tools and use adb. If you just plug it into your mac, you'll see the SD card instead.
- leoh 15y agoI'll try the devkit. Right now, I do see two mounted devices (phone and sd).
