[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
So a few days ago I downloaded boot animations from play store. The boot animations were working fine. But then in supersu I tapped full unroot because I didn't want root anymore. It did unroot and the boot animations were still working. Then I thought I actually want root again cause my app GL to SD doesn't work without root. It took many times for me to get Odin to flash the root file thing cause I'm so noob that I forgot to install the Samsung drivers. It was rooted successfully. Then about a day or two, I lost my custom boot animation. BTW I did a factory wipe and reset through recovery be4 this happened. So I thought that when I install another custom boot animation it will fix the problem so I did. But it didn't work. All it shows is Samsung galaxy s4 then a black screen the. Then the lockscreen came up. It does boot into android. Do I have any corrupted boot animation files are missing any? Did the factory wipe and reset wiped my boot animation files? ( but that can't probably be possible ). Or did the unrooting and rooting broke my boot animation files? Have anyone gone through this problem be4. Thanks in advance. And also BTW it is running on cm 11.

below is an image of the folder of system media tried setting permissions to rw-r-r but still no luck.

EDIT: Just notice that i have 2 pics that have 2 different boot animations. This pic was took early and the other pic was took later and i changed the boot animtaion file be4 i posted the second pic.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreezIn:
and here is the folder of the data/local folder. Same permissions and put the boot animation in the data/local folder and the system/media folder but it still won't work.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingbowness:
I bricked my Fire HD 7" a while back and decided to start working on it again.

I was doing some mods before I bricked it. The device, once it boots into Kindle's OS is EXTREMEMELEY slow. All the icons are blank, and it is extremely slow to do anything on but it kinda works. The menu to reset the device doesn't work, and the keyboard and other stuff barely works if at all as well.

I believe the unit used to be rooted, but somewhere along my bad fixing process I believe it is 'locked' again.

I am currently working on making a factory cable from the droid website in where you solder a cable from 1 to 4.

Following that guide. Any tips?

Thank you very much

Edit:

I can boot the KF HD second gen into fastboot mode but no idea what to do next. I have tried almost everything. I can't instal adb or even get the drivers to work. The device shows up with Windows giving me an error message. Yes, I have Android sdk and Java installed with proper Google usb drivers and api in there modified to add Kindle Fire HD in there. And yes, I have tried to manually add drivers. It just won't work, and or show life.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
This sounds like a bad qemu root... look in the /data folder for a ".prop" file and delete it if you can. I would check the device manager for a usb composite device with a hardware id vid of 1949 and uninstall it if I were you. Also try the drivers in my signature, they should work with all modes but you tend to have to uninstall the driver between going from normal os to fastboot and recovery.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingbowness:
Can you go into detail on what it is that you mean pleasE?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
ok lemme reply now that i'm on my pc so i can type better, the kindle drivers are a bit finicky, between switching between fastboot, recovery, and the normal os it tends to make you have to uninstall the device to reinstall the drivers, and if adb was enabled in the os typically it shows up as a composite device that you don't tend to notice, so if you goto the device manager, look under usb devices, and see some composite devices right click them and hit properties and goto the details tab, look for one with a hardware id with something like "USB\VID_1949" it will have other stuff after that but i don't feel the need to put it. If you find one of those then uninstall the composite device and search for new hardware or just unplug and plug the kindle back in, it should be able to install the drivers now. Otherwise just uninstall any previous kindle devices when switching between boot modes.

As for the other part i was saying, you could probably just fix this if adb is enabled in the main os, just connect to the kindle from an adb shell and cd into the /data folder and look for a ".prop" file(run the command ls if you don't know that much about linux it will list the contents of the directory you are in.), i don't remember the name, but part of the qemu root process sometimes leaves that file there and causes the symtoms you mentioned, deleting the file fixes it but i don't remeber its name offhand. so if you see a .prop file in the /data folder then run "rm whatevername.prop"
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingbowness:
Nope, nothing shows up in device manager in those areas. The Kindle shows up under portable devices. NOTHING works in uninstalling or changing it's drivers.

I can't get ADB no matter what it seems.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
So what about when its in fastboot mode? If it goes into fastboot, uninstall the portable device and try searching for new hardware, if it cant find a driver then point it to mine. If you can get fastboot working you can just use kindle fire first aid to restore the device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingbowness:
Drivers don't work in fastboot. I keep getting This Device cannot start code 10.I got the drivers to work in normal mode now and have ADB installed, but I can't find the ADB devices even with kill-server and adb devices.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingbowness:
Thank you everyone for your help, I got the issue fixed.

I used FFFirstAide.

That didn't work for me for a while because my fastboot cable had a disconnected data lined.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joenathane:
I have the 32GB N5, and currently have about 500MB free. That seems like it should be enough to me, but Android obviously thinks differently. I called Google Nexus support and talked to someone who had zero knowledge/training, so no help there, they just told me to delete stuff until the message disappeared(which I find to be an insulting "solution").

My question is, is this message a bug? And/or what is the minimum amount of space that needs to be left unused for all of the "system functions" to work correctly.

My appreciation to anyone who can answer this question.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, not a bug. thats how it is on every android device. on the first generation devices, it was 100mb, on later devices its 400-500mb. you phone needs about 300-500mb to really function, this space is used by caches. i go past this point fairly often with my device(s), and usually delete/move photos to get my storage memory back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L.iam:
I know this is for the Nexus 7 but the same logic applies running out of storage space - 500MB Warningl

Hope this helps you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joenathane:
Now I'm really wishing the N5 had an SD card slot. Thanks for the info, you would think Google would be more forth coming with that info.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnlineBogey:
Hello guys, I am very new to Android and want to get this sorted ASAP.

Having prior experience with jailbreaking on IOS, I decided I'd root my Razr I running 4.1.2, this process went very well, but I made a bad mistake and forgot to create any sort of backup for Stock JB 4.1.2 I am now deeply regretting this due to the fact on some ROMS my mobile data does not work and on PI-llama my phone seems to crash rather a lot.

Basically, could someone help me revert to Stock Motorola Razr I GB 4.1.2 software, without any sort of backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated, step by step would be very nice though. Thank you for your time:)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtr3m3:
Here you go:

RAZR i XT890 Firmwares SuperThread (Jelly Bean)

You will need RSD Lite to flash the firmware.

You can also download firmware from here - But make sure it is 4.1.2, as 4.0.4 will most likely brick your device.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thephm:
Ok so I've been using a wm2003 pda for some time so have been running AS3.8 on two machines and everything was fine. I get my vario and install as4.1 on both the machines ... One behaves perfectly however the other one insists on unticking my "Allow USB connections" box resulting in a "connection disabled" state. Once I re-tick this box everything is fine it just bugs me to have to keep reenabling USB.

I've done some searches but not found quite this problem, has anybody else seen this or know how to fix it ?

The only thing I can think of is that the machine with problems uses XP's fast user switching and the other machine doesn't

Many thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
since i allowed me firewall to allow activesync connections etc it works fine without unticking the usb fing

im using norton 2005...maybe it will work for you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thephm:
I don't believe it is a firewall problem since the machine that is having problems doesn't run its own firewall since it sits behind a "Proper" hardware firewall. Syncing works fine but AS seems to have a mind of its own and keeps unckecking the "allow USB connection" box.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jok3sta:
hey man. i have the same problem also on my desktop. mine only happens when i log of my desktop and back on. i hope someone here has the answer because it is pretty annoying
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thephm:
Actually did some further testing last night in a bout of insomnia. It is definately* something to do with the fast switching, it appears to only happen when I switch to an alternate user and then back.

So now to see if there is a "fix"

I just flashed the KOT49H official ROM along with the associated kernel to my phone after doing a factory reset. I was running the latest CM11 nightly. I have the MDK bootstrap as required. Strangely enough, when I booted up, it presented the message "Type password to decrypt storage." I did try encrypting once about two weeks ago, but I did a factory reset when it was not working out. After flashing KOT49H, I am getting the message again and none of my previous passwords work. Even worse, when I do a complete format (everything but sdcard), it does the same thing. Strangely enough, I can reflash a nandroid backup without issue. Any ideas?

I was just able to install the CM11 snapshot, so my phone is not actually encrypted, however when I tried again to install the GE ROM, I still have the same "decrypt storage" error.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
A simple but yet puzzling question - and I would so much avoid rebuilding the ART cache ...

If one chooses to wipe the dalvik-cache from recovery will this magically return some of the "wasted" space or this is the same folder used for the ART cache?

More technical: where is the ART cache stored? in a special folder like data/dalvik-cache or it's coupled with the apps themselves?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
you will save/recover space from "cache/dalvik-cache" However, the "data/dalvik-cache" will stay even if manually delete the files, it will rebuild upon reboot.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonpaac:
Nope

No , tap and pay will not work on kitkat for the SMN900A due to removal of host card emulation in the build. You cannot use Isis Mobile Wallet either even with build.prop modification and a secure-element enabled SIM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apraetor:
I've had an AT&T Note 3 since January 2014 and ISIS has worked the entire time. The Tap and Pay setting in Google Wallet was greyed out when I had 4.3, and since 4.4.2 was released OTA the setting has been entirely gone in Google Wallet. Is it still true that GW doesn't work for the SM-N900A models? Or am I just using the Google Wallet app wrong?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonpaac:
No , It's not you. GW has removed Tap and Pay for the NFC hardware that's installed on the SM-N900A. At this point there is no working GW solution to SM-N900A. It's possible that there are drivers written for it in 4.4.4 and will be released and that'd enable HCE

[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
It should probably be in the Win8 general forum, yeah, since it has nothing to do with Surface devices per se.

With that said, unless it's an option in the Settings for the app (open the app, then use the Settings charm), the only way that I know of to do this is to remove and re-install the app. That's obviously a pain, and not really sustainable. You could scrub it manually - it'll be stored in local app data, almost certainly, so a script could take care of it easily - but that's kind of a pain to write...
