I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.

Edit:

Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsutton:
The obb folder is what holds all of your game data. If you have a lot of games installed, especially ones such as Need for speed, grand theft auto, etc. Go into it and clear out the data for all the games you don't play.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtool:
I have zero games installed at all. It shows absolutely no files in the folder both regular and hidden and I cannot do anything to the folder whatsoever. Even a clean wipe won't help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
This is all in the CM10.1 thread. It's all user data for different profiles. Format your sd card if you dont like it. Just make sure it's empty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtool:
I have not seen it anywhere. This is all on the internal memory, not the sd card. Everything has stated it's empty but the system storage option in the settings . isn't there some way to force delete this folder?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
Page three using the app. I meant internal sd. You can always format it.

Tablet terminology, my bad. After switching from CM 10.1 to another ROM and copying its contents to the external sd, I formatted my internal sd in recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtool:
Wow it worked! Thank you so much for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
My pleasure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
It holds all internal data not just games every app has its own folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lucky_515:
there is an xposed module that can fix this problem ..found this in google news app on my tablet,very helpfull for gamers.its called OBB to SD...install xposed framework on device as long as you running dalvic on your phone and not ART,cause xposed is not compatiable with ART,my gues is your running dalvic ...google xposed and read ..i see you have allready solved the problem..just adding to the answer,this is if you wanted to keep the files,for games..it moves all the files to the external storage,just make sure you get a large sd card..i like games,so i really find this mod helpful,also store my games on my 64 gig external storage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SebaPlawner:
workaround and I thought it would be a nice idea to write it here.

I came to the counclusion that if I did a fresh new reset factory and installing a large mount of files in the internal storage's obb folder it ended up being deleted after rebotting my tablet.

So I decided to do a few steps the next time I reseted my tablet. First, I copied my files using my pc into the SD Card. Then, I installed a random game from Google Play so the tablet could "adapt itself" and install its own obb folder. After that, I installed my apps but not all at once but one at the time and rebooting after every installation for making sure it was all ok.

It concluded not having the error again and after having deleted the random game from the begining my tablet had finally worked.

Hope this idea helps someone having the same problem as I did. Just don't copy all obb files at once, don't copying it directly from the computer but copying them from the SD Card and install some random game for making sure it can at least hold those obb files.

Good luck!

what the heck is taking up all my internal space ??? I look at every folder and it sums up to maybe 100MB but still shows using 12BG phone:SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
How is anyone else supposed to know what's on your device? Use a root file explorer, not the garbage Samsung one.

Look in Android/data and check all app folders
[HTC One V] mr.46:
I just rooted and flashed the recoveries and it seems to be working ok. however I can't backup my stock rom using the twrp. It will say something like unable to mount sdcard and unable to recreate android secure folder etc. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my sd card and I am not sure if there is something else I have to do before I try to backup anything. Any help would be much appreciated!

[HTC One V] mr.46:
I have about 2 gigs, I think that should be sufficient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
Trying to see if anyone can do this. I have the qmg file for the stock sprint jelly bean. But it's in qmg. My rom only allows to read the animations from the bootanimation.zip file.

Does someone know how to convert?

Basically trying to do this on the animation with the Samsung text and the purple swirl that goes around it.

Flowed from my FreeGS3 3.0.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarmezrocks:
It's proprietary Samsung format there is no conversion for it. If you would like to enable the stock functionality back to your phone then you will need to change the samsungani located in /system/bin back to the standard one and then the kernel will boot the stock qmg file instead of the bootanimation.zip

Hope that helps

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
I'll give that a shot! Thanks

Flowed from my FreeGS3 3.0.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xObey:
What if my rom (CM10.1) doesn't have a samsungani would adding that file still override the bootamimation and play the .qmg file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gollum17:
If your running aosp all you need is the bootanimation.zip that you want to use. Drop it in system/media and give it these permissions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xObey:
Not really my question, I wanted to somehow let my AOSP rom run a .qmg file instead of AOSP's bootanimation.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxqas:
Were you able to try it out? Did the kernal load samsungani with the target qmg files? I suspect the init scripts might also need changing. Please let me know if you have made any progress.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xObey:
No I couldn't get my AOSP rom to read any qmg files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noob403:
did you find a solution?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jburtn:
This 'how to' requires that you already have a rooted device. See here for instructions, or elsewhere on this forum.

Step 1 - Get the files.

Play Store APK

Google Services Framework

Step 2 - Copy them to device.

You need adb for this, make sure you have the SDK platform-tools folder in your PATH or ADB standalone (also in your PATH).

adb push /path/to/playstore.apk /data/local/tmp/.
adb push /path/to/servicesframework.apk /data/local/tmp/.

Step 3 - Move them around.

adb shell
su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/playstore.apk
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/servicesframework.apk

mount -o remount rw /system

Now theres some sort of problem with actually moving files around to /system so we will use cat instead.

cat /data/local/tmp/servicesframework.apk > /system/app/framework.apk
cat /data/local/tmp/playstore.apk > /system/app/play.apk

Step 4 - Clean Up.

rm /data/local/tmp/servicesframework.apk
rm /data/local/tmp/playstore.apk

adb reboot

Step 5 - Use.

When your Kindle Fire restarts it will say Upgrading, after that you should find the play store under the Device tab of Apps.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaîm:
first of all hi everyone.

i'm new to this forum, rooting and android alltogether and i've tried to look up my issue on the webz, but was unable to find anything that gave me 100% certainity.

info:

i'm running my R800i on the stock 2.3.4 GB (build 4.0.2.A.0.69) and have not rooted it so far, because of some remaining questions.

its flash is flickering (that's not what i'm asking^^) and i want to send it back in for repair, but as long as i keep it i'd like to root it to remove all the bloatware coming with it (facebook app, youtube app, timescape, video unlimited, etc.) and just maybe even flashing it with a doomkernel in order to oc it.

now the question is:

when i unroot it for example with the SE PC Companion (source) are there any traces left - especially some that could hinder the repair request - and if yes, how do remove them?

moreover i've read something about rooting being np guarantee-wise in europe. now that i'm from germany are there any issues with rooting (and probably sending it in rooted) at all?

thanks in advance for your help
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Xperia Plays flash always flickers so sending it in for repair is pointless mate. Sorry :S
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticmedia:
I rooted my device and screen didnt work anymore and it got repaired under warrenty guess i am lucky :) but regarding your question no it doest leave traces
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaîm:
seems odd, but at least now i don't have to stay 4 weeks without my phone *not sure if it's a reason to cheer*

now that's a reason to be happy :)

thanks, both of you.

So I've seen things regarding 'the wire' and such..

I'm trying to update the Radio mainly.. Seems I can only do that if I'm S-OFF?

(side note, we were in NYC yesterday and dozens of times throughout the 15+hours we were there I had 3/4bars and No Data) I'd bounce the Airplane mode an 2 out of 3 times it would come up to 3G and I'd be working again.. Radio is the only thing I could think of..

So do I have to be s-off for radios? (coming from a dinc2 which was s-off)

(I found a ton of links)

Thanks in advance..
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
you can also get new radio by flashing new RUU but you need to relock bootloader.

Development Goals:

- stability

- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)

- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)

- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...

- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)

- stability

*I've not uploaded versions for 4.2.1 stock.

**This section contains the STABLE kernels (i.e. tested to be stable for at least a day or two with no problems) for TEST kernels, proceed to the 3rd post.
