[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ch3vr0n:
So here's the thing i've been exploring the possibilities of USBHost and decided to try an usb stick so i installed Paragon https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter

It took me a while to get the hang of things. At first my usbstick was formatted in fat32. I specified in paragon i would like the default mount point to be USBStorage instead of /paragonNTFS. I made a small typo at first and named the folder usbStorage

now here comes the problem.

for some reason the app created 2 subfolders called sdb1 and sdb2 and i cannot remove them

Things i've tried:

cyanogenmod file manager in root access mode

-- delete directory > "This operation needs elevated permissions. Try switching to root access mode" (translated from dutch so wording may be a bit off

-- modifying permissions of folders > denied > changing permissions failed. for security reasons some filesystems, such as on sdcards do not allow changing permissions

Same problem for Astro file manager

Same problem when attaching the tablet to computer. parent directory (and sub dirs) get "removed" in windows but when checking the file system on the tablet, the opposite is true and the directories is still present

and now it's starting to piss me off. I want that folder "usbStorage" and it's subfolders "sdb1" and "sdb2" removed. so my guess is it'll have to be done by terminal commands but my terminal experience is ZERO.

in preperation of you guys helping me installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm the same one used in cyanogenmod roms. I tried a bit of tinkering myself but prob doing something wrong

what i've tried (in sequence, --ok behind the command means it was succesfully executed)

su --ok

cd sdcard --ok

*rm -rf /usbStorage >> *rm: not found

rm -rf /usbstorage --ok, but folder was still present

rm -rf usbstorage --rm failed for usbStorage, Directory not empty

cd usbStorage --ok

rm -rf sdb1 --ok, rm failed for sdb1, Permission denied

at that point i gave up. I hope you guys can help me out

I do have paragon configured properly now and my USBstick in NTFS is getting recognised. Upon mounting of the usbstick, it now creates a folder called "USBStorage" where the contents of the usb stick is properly displayed.

so where are those android terminal / linux masters to help me out :)

only thing i can add is that when opening paragon with the stick attached but unmounted i do see a line above it /dev/block/sda1 but that doesn't seem to affect mounting in the specified directory

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] userdelroot:
From my understanding of your post.

You are rooted and using cyanogenmod?

Did you try going into the app information and clear data?

In the app drawer hold the app and then drag it to App Info

Clear data.

Did that solve it? If not continue below.

Make sure you don't have the USB stick mounted and or plugged in.

Then go into terminal and type

su

Then type.

mount

The mount command shows all listed mount points. If you don't see the usbStorage or whatever mounted.

Then type.

busybox rm -rf usbStorage

Or whatever the main directory is...

For example directory is at.

/sdcard/usbStorage

cd /sdcard

rm -rf usbStorage

Let me know how you make out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ch3vr0n:
nope, my phone is running CM 10.2 (not relevant to the question) this is the nexus section and its my nexus 7 2013 running stock rom but rooted yes that needs the folders removed. :)

The folders i need to delete according to the Nexus 7 mount main mount path SD content

main path: /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/emulated/legacy (both are the same according according to ParagonNTFS as a folder the mount path /sdcard/USBStorage = /storage/emulated/0/USBStorage or /storage/emulated/legacy/USBStorage

important lines?

/dev/fuse /storage/emulated/0/ fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,realtime, user_id=1023, default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

/def/fuse /storage/emulated/legacy fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatimeuser,user_id=1023, group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

folders to delete are

/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage

/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sdb1 <= can select these just fine

/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sdb2

/storage/emulated/0/ParagonNTFS <= simply selecting this folder prompts CM manager "this operation needs elevated priviledges. Try switching to rootmodus, even when the CM filemanager already is in root mode

so i went

Opening terminal

su

cd sdcard (command ok)

cd usbStorage (commando ok)

busybox rm -rf sdb1

rm: can't remove 'sdb1': permission denied

Then i tried

cd /sdcard

rm -rf usbStorage

rm failed for usbStorage, Directory not empty

cd usbStorage

rm -rf sdb1

rm failed for sdb1, Permisison denied

busybox rm -rf sdb1

rm: can't remove 'sdb1': Permision denied

According to Cyanogen mod file manager:

Filesysteminfo:

Status: rw

linkpath?: /storage/emulated/0

Device: /dev/fuse

Type: fuse

Options: rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other

Dump / Pass: 0 / 0

even with the app ParagonNTFS uninstalled it doesnt work
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] userdelroot:
hmm

try

close the app ParoganNTFS and uninstall it.

then try to delete those directories.

Also when you type

mount

does it show any of the directories you are trying to delete as mounted?

if it is try

umount /sdcard/usbStorage/sdb1

rm -rf /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lamoid:
were you able to delete the dir?

I had the same problems under very similar circumstances. Stickmount rather than paragon. The only way I could delete the dir was to boot into recovery (team win recovery project v2.7.1.1) and delete it with TWRP's terminal command. Something in the OS apparently locks on to the mount and simply will not let it go ever. It has to be done before android starts. It's very annoying. I am beginning to really be disgusted with many of the decisions google is making with regard to android. Why do they hate sdcard expansion so much? its absurd.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

Oh and by the way, even though the OS latched on to that folder as if its very existence depended on it, I was never able to even see the files on the USB memory stick with any file explorer. Worked just fine in kit kat and before. In some ways lollipop really sucks.

[Oppo Find 5] vakeiros:
hi guys,

my find 5 was having some reboot issues (it was rebooting a few times per day) and that was a bit anoying. I was using an old original FW so i decided to update to a newer one. Heard good stuff about the Omni so i went for that, so i was using TWRP 2.4.1.0 (i think... i'm sure it was 2.4.x) and on the omni page they said we have to use TWRP 2.6 so i went for an update.

here, i think, i've created my problem. I used the new flashify app to install the TWRP but instead of choose recovery img i choosed to flash the boot and i guess i'd flashed the TWRP on the boot.

well anyaway, now i'd installed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 i manage to start the phone in fastboot and recovery all good here, i install every rom nice and easy over TWRP but the phone simply doesn't start, it gets stuck on Touchscreen Firmware Update please wait.... this happens ALWAYS with what version of TWRP or even if i install CWM...

my guess is that i'd messed up some partition or so i don't really know what but i'd tried to format every partition that TWRP let me and still getting the freackin Touchscreen Frim updt screen... so need some Pro help to help me undo the mistake i'd done...

thanks for everything
[Oppo Find 5] Vashiru:
On the official Oppo forum's there's a guide on how to install the latest Omnirom. Under known issues it says:

I haven't tried it myself since I didn't get the problem when flashing Omni and Asylum, but it seems to be worth a shot.

In case you are looking for the topic, search for "How to Install OmniRom 4.4".

[General Questions and Answers] Parikxit1993:
*Applicable only if you know that your phone have this problem or occured previously also. If it occurs for the first time then you should visit your brands service centre or if you know the engineering mode process then you can do it.

To solve invalid IMEI issues :silly: . Generally this problem occurs when you factory restores your phone or wipe factory data through recoverys. There are two methods -

1) Engineering mode" process- Sorry cant explain dis process its against the rule".

2) By using MUT(Mobile Uncle Tools) Works on Rooted Android Phones.

Before doing Factory restore first download MUT software from any external website and kip the apk file on your SDCard dont remove it or you can kip it on your PC and move it later on to your Phone via usb. Then go to SETTINGS of phone then SECURITY then tick the UNKNOWN SOURCES option and then install the downloaded MUT.apk open the software there is an option called "IMEI Backup". Backup this in the memory card or SDCARD of your phone(*Note- Backup the IMEI in the memory card of the phone or else it might get removed while doing factory restore). You can check the backup file through any filemanager in the SDCard to be sure if its there or not, its just a small file.

Then do the factory restore. After starting up your phone again install the MUT software and go to the IMEI Restore option and hit it then reboot it. Your phone will gain its own IMEI and the problem will be solved.

Thank you !!! Hope it works.....:D

Could anyone find what code to mod or make a mod to hide it. And nope I'm not using WIdgetLocker because I want the Ripple/Watercolor effects on my Note. Any help or ideas would be welcome thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Looks like a bit has changed since that source post.

I haven't tested this, but you could try this:

In android.policy -

go to com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard/KeyguardViewManager.smali

and look for

.method public declared-synchronized show(Landroid/os/Bundle;)V

within that method you should find a line that looks like this:

invoke-virtual {v4, v3}, Landroid/widget/FrameLayout;->setSystemUiVisibility(I)V

I think if you add const/4 v3, 0x4 right above it you should have a fullscreen lockscreen... not sure, but I think so :)

so it should look like:

const/4 v3, 0x4

invoke-virtual {v4, v3}, Landroid/widget/FrameLayout;->setSystemUiVisibility(I)V

Let me know if that works, and apologies if it doesn't (keep that backup android.policy handy!)

This method looked promising however it did not work for our build.

It didn't seem to make any difference.

Anyone get this working properly to remove lockscreen statusbar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Out of curiosity - did the edit do anything, or was there no change? I assume this was a 4.3 build yes? If it didn't break anything but elicited no change, perhaps the rabbit hole runs a bit deeper then... or we gotta poke that method with a different forced entry (even though given

this

it sure seems like 0x4 was the right value).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdunham:
Yes, this is for 4.3. I'm not as proficient at smali as others but I don't see anything obvious either.

It didn't seem to have any affect at all. I even tried 0x0 thru 0x4 just for the sake of it to go through some other registers as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lljeffll:
Hey guys I recently googled and made my own otg cable. Actually a few and the procedure that I found were very solder intensive. I dont mind soldering tiny things but its not easy and it is so easy to mess it up. I got an easier way for those who enjoy building rather then buying. These cables are not expensive but its more rewarding to say I made that.

Here goes:

Get a regular micro usb cord. I got mine for a buck at dollor store. Make sure it has 5 contacts inside the phone end and try to get the hard plastic ends not the solid ends. They are much easier to work with.

Crack the phone end open carefully with a knife along the seam. You should be left with the metal tip and wires exposed.

The phone end is made up of a few parts and if you carefully pull the plastic peice closest to the wires out of the metal housing you will have all 5 contacts exposed. Keep ever part. You will need them.

This is the only soldering you have to do. Use a match book or a peice of thin card and insert it between the 3rd and 4th pin. Count from the red wire side. Should be right after the green wire contact. You are soldering the black wire pin to the next one. I bend my card in half and tape the end down to the table so it doesnt move. Very carefully and with very little solder and some acid paste flux to help it stick solder the last 2 contact prongs together. Just a tiny bit about 3 mm from the plastic on wire end will do. Dont put to much on or go to far to the end of the contacts. Make sure that only the 4 and 5 pin are soldered.

Gentally slide the contacts back into the metal housing. Use a flashlight to look inside and make sure they are all evenly spaced and back wherebthey were. Put the plastic cover back on and glue or tape it tight.

Go back to dollor store (cause why screw up a expensive cord. Practice on this first.) And get a female to female conector and you are done!

Plug your new otg cable into phone with the female to female conector on usb end and plug in your ext hard drive, flash drive, keyboard, mouse, etc into the female connector and your laughin'

It still works as a charger ( mine is plugged in now charging) and you have a otg cable aswell.

This worked very well for me but I caution you to be really carefull. If you fry your phone I won't send you a new one :)

Good luck!
