[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] godschildren:
So I'm running CM 10.1 which is running nice. I'm loving the free space that I have and how fast everything is. I made a back up of my rom after setting it up and I've downloaded 2 cm nightly zips. There's the bulk of the space I've used. All of my pictures are on the ext sd card and I have no music on the phone or ext sd card. Now I've posted screen shots below first starting off with titanium stating that I've used 10.2 gb of space with the internal+media. I don't understand that at all. This is where I'm asking for help because that makes no sense. I started using Root Explorer and navigating through the files on the phone and I began to notice that there is copies of copies within folders. You can see with the 2nd screen shot that there is 2 ext sd card files, I don't understand why. The 3rd shows the "sdcard" which I understand is the phones and not my external, and also the storage folder. The 4th pic shows sdcard contents. Remember what that looks like, we'll see that exact group of contents again. The 5th shows the beginning of the storage folder. Now here is where I begin to start to get extremely lost. Emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, don't understand but okay. The 6th shows inside the emulated folder. Even more lost now with a "0" and "legacy" folder. The 7th pic shows what we saw on pic 4, why is this also here? Pic 8 shows what is in the legacy folder which is the same contents as pic 4 and 7, again why is this duplicated here? The last pic, 9, shows inside the sdcard0 folder which shows the same contents as pic 4,7, and 8. Why? Is my phone making duplicates of files containing loads of space? If so, what is safe to delete so I can keep my storage space free like when I first installed CM. And as far as sdcard1, I looked at the contents and it seems to be my external sd card, just named sdcard1 for some reason.

I understand this is a long and ridiculous post. I have some knowledge of how these things work from when I rom'd my evo 3d. But I swear that phone was nothing like this and I'm completely confused when trying to navigate the S4. I'd appreciate any insight into this. I apologize in advance to my lack of tech knowledge but I thank you for any help anyone can provide! :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HPferoxCraft:
Not sure why you have 2 extra sd card listing either.

Before you flashed CM did you also format your internal data when wiping? Maybe there's some leftovers from your previous setup.

Everything else looks normal to me, the file system is what it is. The ExtSd card will be the one you can remove from the phone and the sdcard/emulated/0 listing will be the internal storage. I'm not sure why the listings for the internal are repeated but I believe they're all linked to the same folder, I could be wrong.

Everything looks right to me except for that other ExtSd card entry.

TB says you have 10+ available storage, the in parentheses number is how much is left free. If you look under your system settings for storage it will probably say a gig less.

After your Rom installs and takes up system memory you probably have 9.5ish g left, then subtract the backups and roms you said you had in internal memory and your left with 6ish gigs.

I think that's right.

The two internal SD cards. Are the issue from the gs3. Its the new 0 folder format.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] godschildren:
Yes I did format the internal. I had loads of space when I first began with the CM rom. But your logic makes sense. I guess I was looking at it differently or wrongly but I see where you're coming from now. I guess I was just used to my other phone being so straight and simple. Not used to the extra folders everywhere but now I have more of an understanding to why they are the way they are :) Now I do have two other questions. If i take the backup of the CM build I saved and move it to the extsd card I shouldn't have a problem just navigating to the file using the "restore" function in cwm should I? And my second question would be that I have downloaded the 8/12 nightly zip for CM, that was the one I used to install when I began. This morning I had an update from ROM manager for the 8/13 nightly. I downloaded the zip and flashed it, all is well. While I was browsing through the files I could only find the one 8/13 zip for CM, when I download an update like that through ROM manager, is it replacing the other zip that I already had? I didn't think it worked like that but I'd like to be sure so I can get rid of the old zip to keep space free. Thanks guys for the help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] godschildren:
I'm concerned with that back up also becuase if you look at this screen shot it shows where this back up is saved. Since it's not on the extsd as far as I see, if my phone were to get wiped or screw up and I couldn't access the internal data, I'm assuming I'd lose that back up. Then again I don't know if mnt/shell protects that from happening lol.

Thank you again guys, I'm slowly trying to learn and get the hang of it all :)

Hello

I have an XDA2 which I unlocked using the link from the site. I have now put a pay as you go T-Mobile (EasyMobile) sim card in which works fine for phone use. I am having difficulty getting it set up as Easymobile say they only provide WAP - can I use this and is so where can I put in the settings they have given me - Has anyone done this already?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysdavey:
I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if I'm in the wrong section. I couldn't find any threads regarding this for the HTC One, but then again the search function seems to act a bit dodgy for me at the moment.

Anyway, I'm looking for a way to modify what long-pressing the home button does. I'm currently running on InsertCoin 3.0-14 with ElementalX as kernel (4.2 if I'm not mistaken).

Ideally, I want the long-press of home to show the recent apps rather than google now. I never use Google now, and I often use recent apps. Double tapping the home button is nowhere near as easy as long-pressing the home button for me, it also feels way more intuitive.

Has anyone had any luck doing this? I do recall this is possible in other launchers, but I prefer using Sense as I like the look and feel of it.

In my experience (which is limited) the only lag free user experience I've had with any Android phone is in an aosp or aokp rom. Does any manufacturer make an out of the box lag free Android phone? I find even freezing bloat does little to cure lag. what are your thoughts?

Actually I have 2 questions. What would be the guess to how long it would take for a new root method to be developed if you have a Samsung galaxy s4 where AT&T sent out the latest OTA update that left you with a MF3? I want to wait for the method that I would have the custom recovery and ROMS. Also who develops the method is it someone here? Just asking. Thanks!!! You are all awesome here and very prompt in your replies!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] markbc01:
Sorry, XDA (like CyanogenMod!) is a place where there are no deadlines/ETA (estimated times of arrival). XDA participants are not members of one organization. The users, reader and (most importantly) the developers here (individually and in their own teams), all do their own thing. Kind of semi-focused chaos really. . .

All these thousands of custom roms are the work of individuals and teams who do it on their own, and do it for fun! It's all free and done for the science and the art of being able to bend the technology our way. That's why developers here develop (for the most part!). Developers are not pushed by requests, and won't tell you when they have something -until they "really" have something ;)

So folks can't predict when a development will pop up. Frankly, it is considered kind of bad form or even rude to ask for a date when some development will be ready or will arrive.

Many folks are stuck with the MF3 version.They can root, but they can't swap roms because of the locked bootloader issue.

Also, we do know that developers here - several individuals and even groups of developers are trying to "beat" that new bootloader, [and there is even a thread here with folks offering a bonus/incentive/whatever for the one (or many) who get the latest exploit.]

But the motivation is not the money, it's the success in making it work. Will they do it? Probably, but as one already answered here, it is possible that they might fail. Although I don't think that is the most likely outcome. When will they succeed? . . . No one knows, and we can almost do nothing except work on the exploit ourselves, or just wait :eek::eek:!

Sorry, that's the best news as of today:eek:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corseting:
So basically I need someone to clarify this for me, I read many forum posts about the changes to directories in 4.2.2 with the data/media folder and the 0 folder etc and I'm still having trouble understanding .... Here are my questions...

If I clean wipe to flash a new rom..

1) I must make sure everything I want saved (like titanium backups etc) are in the data/media folders correct? (i assumed this since the nandroids are there and are maintained after wipe...)??

2) my media player won't recognize songs unless I move them to the data/media/0 folders.... So will I have to move ALL my songs and movies to the media/data folders so they won't get wiped? Do I have to do this every time.. that blows..

3) I've read that flashing can cause you to have multiple 0 folders.... Like data/media/0/0/0/0/0 etc... What does this mean (is it bad).. How does this happen and how do I make it not happen..

Side questions...

4) there is a storage/emulated/0 folder.... That is the same or a "shortcut " to the data/media/0 folder.... Right?

5) the data/media folder is essentially the SD card now?

Thank you so much... I realize this may be a reiteration of questions asked in other forums etc but like I said I'm having trouble grasping this change! :thumbup:

For anyone concerned with Auto-Brightness and trying to save battery, I highly suggest Lux Dash.

Basically you tell it what brightness to give it under every lightning circumstance. It takes into affect time of day etc. The more you Link it and tell it what brightness to give it the more accurate it becomes to your exact liking. I've noticed a decent battery gain over the stock Option. As you can set it to only change after Wake, lock, Constantly, etc..

Here is an article about it to better get everyone to understand: http://lifehacker.com/lux-automatica...gets-934245674

hello xda,..

i was having win7 on ma laptop..recently i have upgraded it to win8 .. my screen clarity has decreased and looks somewhat blur..right now i don have drivers cdto install..so is there any other ways to solve my issue?? pls reply...thanks

my laptop is asus (x5dc)
[Windows 8 General] Iron Doktor:
If you haven't installed the drivers, then your screen probably isn't set to the correct resolution. Go into the screen settings and check that the resolution matches the specs of your laptop.

Keep in mind, without the proper drivers installed, you may not be able to change the resolution.

If you can find the drivers cd, go to asus web site and download a copy of the video drivers.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Move your cursor to the bottom left of the screen on desktop so the little start square appears, right click it and in the menu which appears click "device manager".

This will open the device manager window. In the list that appears will be an option called "display adaptors". Click the arrow next to it to enlarge the options. It should then list what graphics chips are available on the system (in my case on this laptop "Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000", on my desktop NVidia GTX460 and some AMD integrated chipset).

Right click whichever appears (if 2 do this twice, once for each, but do it 1 at a time). Click update driver software. Click "search automatically for driver software". Unless the laptop is older than I think, windows should be able to go off and locate the correct driver for you and install it, you will need an internet connection.

Once that is done, reboot and then go to desktop (you must not skip the reboot). Right click the desktop > screen resolution. In the window which appears set the resolution dropdown box to 1366 * 768, anything else is incorrect for your laptop. The screen might flash a bit as it resizes, thats normal.

Running windows update fully may also update your drivers, its a good idea to try the method above first and then run windows update anyway.

Failing that. ASUS have all the drivers available here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=X5DC&os=17
[Windows 8 General] darshan dazzGeEk:
thanks... but wen m trying to install the drivers it show's .net framework is needed...and when m installing .netframework it show's d same...and its not installing..
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
There is something seriously wrong with your windows 8 install if the drivers are claiming to need the .net framework and the .net framework won't install, its built into windows 8.

But if you want to try a manual install of the .net framework:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 .NET 3.5

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718 .NET 4

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653 .NET4.5 but I doubt required.

But before trying any of those 3 links (which are in the order I would try them), run windows update. The full update, every single important and recommended update. Will probably take hours (on my internet it will actually take 2 days....) but to me it sounds like there is something not right on your system, windows update should fix a few things (like lack of .NET and possibly drivers too) and you can go from there.

After I flashed again 4.3, now it do not boot. Stuck at Google boot animation.

I thought it will be fixed if I flash the stock rom via Odin (only PDA with I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXABMGA_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5).
