Thanks, but this rom has important bugs, i like miui design.
[HTC Rezound] slimer110:
So I am a somewhat new tech savvy root happy android user. I was so impatient to wait for ICS, that I flashed my phone yesterday. I tried to post in the thread for the new release, but being a new user, I was unable.

Anyway, is there any possible way to get root on this latest build? Con and some others were working on some stuff, according to what they posted in the thread, but it has been dead for a few days. I would like to S-Off, but apparently I can't go back to 3.14.605.05 to do it. Has anyone had any success achieving root on this new build? I did unlock hboot with htcdev again after flashing, but that is as far as I can go. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Flash recovery, install a rooted rom like mine or cleanrom for example, then do S-OFF. Hboot hasn't changed so they haven't patched S-OFF
[HTC Rezound] slimer110:
Ok

I thought the roms were slaves to firmware in which they were created, i.e. a 605.05 rom could not run on the 605.10 If so, I didn't see your 605.10 rom, could you direct me? I already have Amon Ra installed, so I am good there. Also, his original post with the S-Off toolkit said to only use on 605.05, and didn't know if it would work on 605.10, even if I could achieve root. Thanks in advance for all your help, I've found your replies to other users to be most helpful in untangling the web of android modding in my mind.

Also, one more questions. I made a nandroid backup before I upgraded to ICS. Is that backup essentially useless unless I get S-Off and go back to the firmware that I created that backup on?

Edit:

"This is a stock, rooted, debloated version of the new 3.14.605.10 leak. This is the only 3.14.605.10 based ROM with APM, Tweaks, Aroma Installer, and Aroma based Sense and De-Sense! It was also the first to have working root."

Sorry, was so busy reading everything else in the thread, I completely missed that. So I guess I need to install your Rom first, and still use the PH98IMG.zip because I am not S-Off? After that, I should have root and will be able to S-Off?
[HTC Rezound] bolt_of_thunder:
Also interested in this. I'm on stock rooted 3.14.605.05 because I was trying to get s off, which failed miserably.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skinna:
Think thats bad!

Think that's bad. I have two thumbdata's both at 2gb each!

My partners Xperia S still had all her old thumbnails in her album even though she has deleted most of her pictures. So I googled how to remove them, the best solution I've found is go into settings, apps, all, media storage and erase the data. When I try to test it on mine the data is only a few mb. No where near 4gb!

Still I'll let you know if I find out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
the best solution i found my self is: delete the big file thumbsdata and then never run the stock camera app,if you run it ,the file will be generated again consuming all your free space(me becomes 0 bites free :crying:).......of coarse i cannot live without a camera app so i installed fx camera app.... it is good now but if i turn fx cam to video mod the problem comes again(it uses the stock camera app for video ,but not for photos),,,,,so i will not use video record option, until some hero comes with a fix:cowboy:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyonex:
Yeah! That's it!

Just copy names of that files (thumbdataX--x), delete that files and other files in folder, then create folders named the same as deleted thumdatas. Reboot device. No annoying thumbdata3 (my spend 2Gb) anymore! And look in folders named LOST.DIR (you can find it in the root directory of your internal memory and your SDcard) - huge temporary files may be left in these folders, so delete these files.

Tested on Toshiba Thrive Tablet (ICS). No problems with gallery and camera apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
I will check this up...because untill now i cannot use my camera without generation of big files eating all my space no matter what rom..anyway u mean creating a new file with the same name right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyonex:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
Untile now this works.i dont see any thumpsdata files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgunf:
Solution works!

In my opinion that file was related with pic preview directly from camera app, when you click on little thumbnail.

When I deleted it, camera stopped working and that thumbnail was blank until file was recreated, then it worked again (with 2GB pictures and a 2.74GB .thumbdata!)

Now creating the folder with the same name of file stopped that huge file from recreating himself.

I think camera now refers directly to thumbnail files (in thumbnails folder) for preview. Or, if not, that's the same because now I have 2.74GB more on my internal SD!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
Yes this is a camer app problem(or bad feature:banghead: ) it takes space more than the photos itself:eek:....anyway this is the only way right now to fix it.

I found this thread Googling for the thumbdata becoming a HUGE file size issue. I tried this suggestion hoping it would work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 which had 2 of these files, each about 1.65 GB in size. I've deleted the files and named 2 new folders with the exact names the files were (including the preceding ".") and rebooted, but my device still thinks the giant files are there because I have the same amount of free space. When I browse the dcim folder, it just shows the empty folders. Not sure what to do now.

My tab is stock JB 4.1.1.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chral513:
Any luck with this? I also have the same problem.... Toshiba excite, 2 giant thumbnail files, 1.6 GB each. I've tried everything..... shows deleted, but available space has not changed. Then randomly the files eventually return. Rinse and repeat. I've deleted, tried other small files renaming to the thumbnail file names, everything. Even the thumbnail deleter app. I've been at it for like 5 days now. Making me crazy. I do not want to hard reset but it appears that may be the only way..... sigh....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srvctec:
Yep, I had to factory reset. I used Mybackup Pro to back everything up and get my tablet mostly like it was- still have a lot of time to change app settings to my liking, but I gained over 3GB of phantom space on my internal memory.

Just make sure to create empty folder(s) with the exact same name as the thumbdata file(s) to replace them with once you delete them immediately after factory reset.

On a side note, since my Tab 2 7.0 didn't have enough space because of the thumbdata files size, I had missed out on getting Android 4.2.2. Once I did the reset, the software downloaded.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hikhokk:
Does anyone know how to recover the contents in the .thumbdata please? I dont why but before flashing new rom i have copy all the pictures in the camera,DCIM and all that into my computer.by then i did not know view all the content as i was confirmed all the pictures has been transfered.but when i want to restore back the pictures only somes are present in .jpg whereas there are two .thumbdata that size about 300++ MB both.So my guess is that the other pictures are in there.please help.thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John8472:
Replacing the thumbnails file with a folder or file never seemed to work for me. Using some other information, I did something else and it solved it. The thumbnail file is now small again.

Android stores some information in a database called external.db. Every time you use the camera, for some reason Android thinks its a good idea to recreate a huge file based on all the URL's that are in that database. But these are URL that at some point have been on you phone. This makes no sense at all and seems to be a bug.

But to solve it, do the following steps:

1. Get a file explorer that can see and delete system files. I use ES file explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

2. Get a tool to modify the database. I use SQLLite Debugger: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=oliver.ehrenmueller.dbadmin&hl=en

3. Use the file explorer to delete everything in /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/

4. Start SQLLite Debugger

5. Choose the App option and find Media Storage (com.android.provider.media)

6. Choose external.db

7. Create the following SQL: DELETE FROM thumbnails (just start by clicking DELETE ? and then choosing thumbnails). Now press the run/execute button.

8. All URLs will now be deleted. And the next time the thumbnails file is created, it is created based on the current pictures. When it grows big again, you can repeat this.

The first time I started the gallery app after this process, it crashed. But then I rebooted and everything was ok again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
Thanks john,the problem seems to be fixed in the latest JB and KitKat ROMs.I am no longer having big .thumbsdata files.If the problem returns I am going to try your fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] largeruk:
I also followed the above procedure and ended up with just 2 empty folders (in /emulated/0/DCIM, /emulated/legacy/DCIM, /storage/sdcard0/DCIM and /sdcard/DCIM). I'm on an MK6 4.3 stock ROM on a I9300.

However, the overall size of 'miscellaneous files' reported under Settings->More->Storage (which includes those DCIM-related directories and files now reduced to 0byte folders) is still huge (nearly 9gb) and has therefore not increased my still dwindling 'available space'.

What is the reason for this and any tips on how to reduce the actual & reported size of these 'misc files'?

Cheers :)

Edit: As soon as I viewed a pic in the gallery via the stock camera app, a .thumbdatax-x file (of 1.23gb!) was recreated on the all the folder locations mentioned above.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
I use an app called flux on my computers which changes the screen to be a warmer color at night, to match indoor lighting (so that it is easier on your eyes at night). Is there an app like this for android yet? Kernels like franco let you change the lcd color properties, so I guess there just needs to be an app that does this on a timer. Where would I start for making an app like this?

I have extensive experience with languages like C, but IIRC android apps aren't made (entirely) of c.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
I think everyone so far has missed the point. Most apps currently available only offer the ability to change the brightness of the screen, but not the color temperature. The color temperature so far is only modifiable via the color control apps currently being used with custom kernels, and it doesn't respond to the light sensor on the phone.

The OP is asking for brightness and color control to be linked together so changes in the light sensor will trigger warmer colors at night and cooler colors during the day.

I spoke with the developer of lux auto brightness (nice guy). The only way he's found to do it is with an overlay. Android doesn't give access to pixel data, he says, so he can't implement Photoshop style blend modes. He's working on a way to do it with root, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmsfang:
can't post the link because of post limit, but try

googling "twilight android app" should be first one by urbandroid team

Not many options but better than lux/ all the others I tried
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AutomaticFailure27:
First, download Lux AutoBrightness (Yes, you will have to pay for it for this to work)

Then, go to Lux's Google+ Community

Join the community, once received a proper acceptance, click on the right hand side for the BETA tester link.

Install Lux as normal (Now since you have joined the community, you will get BETA updates as normal through Google Play) It may show that the app is already "Installed," Just click on the Install button again and select your device.

Once installed, open Lux Dash > Settings icon (gear) > advanced > [Root] Enable low-level control.

What this actually does it once the lux levels are low enough (usually in dark areas and in Lux the "negative zone") it changes the Gamma Offset to a more eye-pleasing yellow state.

Now.... If you don't want to go through the whole process and don't mind having a "f.lux yellow" look all the time. Go into an app that can change the Color Temps (Trickster, F.KU, etc) and lower the Red and Blue temps to -10 (Negative Ten) while leaving Green at "0"
