After researching EFS, if yours is empty that is of course what's causing your problem, as you've figured out. That being said I don't think mine will help you as its specific to phone i think. Hence I took down my link. There may be a way to restore it if you can find something somewhere online. Otherwise it might be a trip to ATT unless you can wait for a fix from a dev.

I tried installing this rom on the i9505 international version using this method

THIS IS ONLY FOR I9505 AND AOSP ROMS

That's right, You can flash any rom for the US variants of S4.

What you need to do is very simple.

============================

Make sure there are no assert prop lines in the file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

If you see a line that looks like this just delete it.

Code:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltetmo");

After you flash the rom, flash this package. It includes the required libs for I9505.

Profit!

I have performed a full wipe and installed a custom boot.img but the phone wont boot it is stuck on samsung boot logo.

Thanks

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tilde88:
Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone ;).

Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root :) Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?

P.S.

Do it.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nhutpham:
I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.

So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.

All in all, still feels like a beta.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magician369:
As translate now offers offline translation I want to move that big amount of data to external SD if this is possible. I am on 4.2.2 custom AOKP ROM .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnz:
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I'm looking for a solution to this as well. Using a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 with Android 4.4.2, would like to transfer the offline translation data from internal sd to external sd (want to download all possible languages before travelling, won't fit on internal sd).

Google Translate is automatically creating a folder on my external SD in the same place as on the internal SD, but not putting any files in it. Results from a google search indicated I should just move the data files to that folder, but it's not working. Google Translate still shows them as downloaded (does the same if I just delete them), but if I turn off data and wifi and try to translate something it just comes up blank.

Ideally I'd prefer to avoid rooting my device or using app2sd or link2sd or anything similar. Just looking for a solution for this one app, and maybe a few others. The other apps I'd like to do the same for are google voice keyboard, google text to speech and possibly some GPS software (if I install any). Really just trying to create a micro SD card to use when travelling while keeping the internal memory free for everything else.

If there'd be some way to duplicate this data onto another phone as well, without re-downloading it that'd be even better.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsvif:
Saving Offline Languages For Google Translate Into External Sd.

The newest version of Google Translate has the capability for offline translates. This is really cool but requires very large files to be downloaded. Here's how to move the file into the external SD card:

1. Go ahead and download all the necessary file onto the device.

2.In your external SD card,create a folder called Android and inside it create a folder called data.

3. In the device storage, look for the file called Android and inside you'll find a folder called data. Go inside that and find the folder com.google.android.apps.translate.

4. Cut (move) the whole folder into the folder you just made called 'data' in the external SD

5.Enjoy - Not now )))

6. Delete folder com.google.android.apps.translate from phone memory.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdsda:
Hi, you says "whole folder" - you mean all with the icon ? I made that that way, does it make any problems speed etc, should I remove anything on internal sd ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
Something funky about folders and or permissions that seems specific to Google Translate, of course with other factors, perhaps something like this:

In order to have the proper permissions maintained as the material is moved the steps in the posted instructions are all important because certain rules of file/folder copying/Moving/creating will be followed by the system (as with PC or network permissions).

In this case it seems that the material must be moved into a folder that was created by the same user that is moving the material so it inherits permissions that make it accessible to that user later in the app.

If there is no such folder on the external SD and the user creates it according to the provided instructions I can see how this works for some people however.

On my phone, and most likely others, that folder already exists having been created the first day I had the phone by ??some app or system function?? as apps got installed and the phone got configured. So, because I don't own the location that the files are being copied to, the files end up with the wrong permissions. Consequently even though they are physically present the app cannot access them.

Since that folder structure may be important to stuff I use I don't really want to fiddle with permissions within it, not that I know how to do so anyhow. Also there is this -

Titanium Back stalls when trying to backup Google Translate.

I would imagine there is some way to work around this or....Google could provide an option to save to external storage (good golly what folly for the failure to provide that).

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Yes, that would be the whole folder that is named "com.google.android.apps.translate". That folder will get recreated if Google Translate is re-installed. If you successfully get it onto the external SD you would want to delete it from it's original home or the system would just use it there instead of where it was copied to. If the test fails you would (as was the case for me) want to uninstall Google Translate and delete the "com.google.android.apps" that you copied there before reinstalling Google Translate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
But is there a way to prevent Translate from using external SD?

Each time I insert the SD, Translate stops offline translation. It automatically creates its empty data subtree in /storage/sdcard1/Android on each run if SD card is present. Only card removal restores offline translation.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
I've not played with this for some time but am not surprised to hear what you've experienced. Microsoft Translator, which is quite nice, allows ofline language packs to be stored on external SD and used off line for text translations so I switched.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
As I explained, Google Translate allows them to be stored in external SD too. But the problem is that GT forces external SD to be used if present. Even if you had downloaded offline files to the internal memory while SD was not present, GT forcibly switches to external SD as you insert it. Since it contains no offline files, GT stops offline translation until you remove the SD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
AFAIK Google has never officially added any functionality to store language packs on external SD, and the effectiveness of workarounds may vary across to Android and ROM versions. This makes it both odd and ironic that you are being forced to use external SD when that is just what others are trying but unable to do.

I'm not sure how to fix your situation but I'm inclined to look toward what it is that is allowing the offline files to be saved and used from an external SD in the first place, which could be due to one of the following:

- New functionality in Google Translate? (unlikely).

- A quirk of the Android version and ROM that you are using perhaps allowing storage on external SD in your case but not others?

- The result of a workaround applied in the past?

- Using Marshmallow with Adoptable Storage (ext SD used as internal).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
I use Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm (Android 5.1.1) and Mi Max (Android 6.0.1). All other apps that don't offer an explicit selection, use internal memory (/sdcard/Android/data).

Never used and don't plan to use adoptable storage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
Nor have I. Although I strongly dislike adaptable storage I had to eliminate it as a factor.

You may not want to take your testing this deep but, I would wonder if the same thing occurs with a different and completely blank SD card which has nothing on it except what you are testing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dethfull:
You are rooted,

1:Create any folder on your sdcard

2: Copy (Preventing mistakes instead moving), all the downloaded language data to the new folder on sdcard

3:Test the following commands using terminal emulator:

busybox mount -o bind /mnt/yourSdCard/yourNewDir /data/data/com.google.andrhoid.apps.translate/(the_app_languagedataDir).

Open the translator and test.

If does not works, due to sdCard permissions (some data on sdcard is unusable because fat permisions on unix),

You will need create a virtual disk using dd command with the specified size of your language data, on someDir inside the sdcard, format the disk in ext2 fs, mount the disk inside the /data/data/com.google.android.apps.translate/(LanguageDir), and finally, move the language data contente (STRICTLY FOLLOWING THE CONTENT PERMISIONS), and test again.

That is all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
- Uninstalled GT.

- Rebooted the phone.

- Inserted a freshly formatted (FAT32) SD card.

- Installed GT (5.2.0RC10).

- Downloaded an offline language.

- Language files have been placed to the /Android/data/com.google.android.apps.translate on the SD card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
When you say "SD card" do you mean the external SD card? If so, then I'm totally stumped about this one.

[EDIT] One more thing. I could see how, if the app is stored on external SD the data might also be saved to external but the last time I tested (months ago) even with app on external SD language data only saved to internal SD.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
Of course yes. Otherwise, how could it be "inserted"? :)

Me too. But tested it several times on two phones. GT behaves the same way.

No matter where the app itself is stored. getExternalFilesDirs() return a list of all external data storage paths starting from a primary one. If there is an "internal emulated SD", it is the primary storage. In old devices with small internal memory, only external SD card can be a primary external storage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronTechmonkey:
D'oh! I missed some context there. :o

Ironically, there are probably many people who would like to know how to force that to happen on their devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuzychenko:
I know. :) And it once again confirms that GT uses a strange storage selection logic. No other app (I have more than a hundred) behaves like GT.

Hello every1,

First of all im sry to be starting a new thread about this, but I cant seem to find anything related to it in google or in here, at least with a quick search. My phone is generally treated well enough, and I always keep it in a protector, but tonight it fell off my hands, and I THINK than since then, the "android" settings and return capasitive keys, right under the screen, cannot switch off. This means that if I lock the phone, or even turn it off, the backlight of these buttons does NOT switch off. I have to remove the battery. If I insert it again, and switch the phone back on, they still wont shut down. I now that they CAN be switched off, because I resetted the phone to its factory settings, at least the internal memory, and when it rebooted, the backlight of the keys turned off and back on again.

I am not interested in shipping the phone back to china to make use of its warranty, and im not sure whether letting that backlight on permanently will damage the phone. The screens function and backlighting seems to be OK. What can I do to disable or restore them to good functionality? I never rooted the phone, and I have searched for some apps that can disable those buttons backlight but they require rooting. What would you have me do? I do not mind rooting the phone, or tweaking it in anyway, as long as it remains functional. Thank you for any help!
