Definitely not. Leave it alone; everyone has those folders and I assure you they do not exist twice.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ckamc:
What makes me scratch my head is that both folders are the exact same size with the same content so I just don't understand why my phone needs double since it shows my storage at 17GB and want to free up some more space
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdevaughn:
One is a link to the other. They are not duplicated, they are one and the same files
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alone-together:
Alright, think about it this way. Open your file explorer and check the size of either of the folders by looking at their properties. For instance, mine both show that they add up to 10GB. I've also got about 3-4GB of space being used for backups and my system partition, and even more for apps. So my guess? Probably using at least 20GB of my storage. Keep in mind that I have a 32GB phone. Now if I go to settings > storage, it shows that I have 12GB of free space, so it all adds up. If you do the math, I couldn't possibly be using 20GB total for both of those folders, so they have to just be different paths to the same location, and yours probably is, too.

My conclusion: if you delete one of those folders, nothing good can come of it. Look elsewhere and account for your system itself (I see you are using the stock firmware, which is quite large due to LG bloatware) and the apps you use. Check Settings > Storage and see what's using so much space.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ckamc:
Thanks for confirming everyone. I guess I need to browse my phone system with my PC to find where the real bloat is at. Yes the LG apps do take up a bit of space.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alone-together:
You might consider finding an AOSP ROM that fits your needs if you're looking for a bit more space. They tend to be a lot smaller than stock roms. Also, try clearing your cache.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 4Nails:
My final decision point of the S4 over the HTC was the availability of a micro SD card which now I realize is basically unusable.

My thoughts were to move programs and media files to the micro SD to free considerable room in the internal memory.

Of course it is somewhere between hard and can't do that.

It my understanding the new upgrade makes it even tougher.

Are there custom ROMS or other solutions that solve this problem?

Hey there,

I'm currently working on an app to export data from Google Hangouts using the Takeouts JSON file.

Unfortunately I myself have not been using Hangouts TOO thoroughly, soo I need some more example datasets from other users.

If you want to help me, head over to https://www.google.com/settings/takeout#custom:chat and get a copy of your chat history.

Then you can use the following script to anonymize your data. As I can only anonymize data I know of, PLEASE go through the file afterwards and take a look if some information leaked before sending it to me.

If you find data that is not anonymized by the script, please give me appropriate feedback!

#!/bin/bash

cp $FILE "$FILE.pseudo"
FILE="$FILE.pseudo"

function randstr(){
echo `perl -e 'printf "%08X\n", rand(0xffffffff);'`
}

IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

#pseudonymize all gaia_ids (and chat_ids of the same value)

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] minionhunter:
I've been looking around for a case for the Note Pro 12.2 but I have not really found any other than something that looks like a paper thin slicone skin.

I really would like to get a gumdrop bounce silicone skin for it (its like their cases but with out the hard plastic cover). I bought them for my wife's ipad air and my mother's (with the glass screen protector) and they both think they are great and my wife's has survived many drops (from the kids).

I think it would be ideal for the Note Pro 12.2 because it would:

1. Not have the annoying clear plastic cover (we want glass right)

2. Be lighter than the ones that have the extra hard plastic case

3. could cover up the capacitive buttons with silicone (could be done with cut outs instead of pre cut out for you), so that the end user could instal something like LMT pie controls and not have to use/turn off the dedicated buttons on the device.

4. would not cost as much as the two part skin/cases (both the company and consumer would need to spend less on the silicone skin)

If you would be interested in gumdrop making a case like this, I would suggest requesting it from them for the Note Pro 12.2

http://www.gumdropcases.com/support

Otherwise if you know of anyone like otterbox or another company making something similar, please let me know I can turn anything up in my searches, but I did just find the announcement (from a leaked memo) that went up today (28th) that Verizon will have the LTE version of this tablet on March 6th.

Thanks for any help you can offer me on this!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h0ward01:
Yes, It's true!

I have found an Android 4.4 ROM for the Epic 4G Touch called Villuminatti ROM.. Great ROM!!... I'm just making it better. :P

I am creating my own faster version of this ROM by adding some build.prop tweaks to make quality and performance better for the everyday user!

About me and why i'm doing this..

I am Austin Howard and I am 15. I am doing this project for my schools technology class. The project is called "20% project", and the class had an individual choice on picking whatever they want to do on the project.. well I love fast technology so I decided to use my daily ROM on my Epic 4G Touch to make it faster and share it with everyone!

I will be putting the file link up once I get 10 thumbs up..

Please help support me in this project so I can make it better.

After you guys have the chance to test it tell me some things to improve it with.

Thanks guys! Hope you guys get to try this out!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubs790:
I tried to update my XYboard 10.1 yesterday that I bought used with an OTA update. I am guessing it was the 4.1 update because it was on ICS prior to the update. It failed during the update, and it loaded into the "dual core" screen, then went black with the backlight on and didn't boot.

I tried a one click method to reflash Honeycomb back to the device, but no matter what I do, it won't finish flashing. I tried redownloading the files, and no change. The first time it froze flashing "bootloader", I tried a few more times and it didn't work. So I downloaded a different set of fastboot files and tried to flash them, and now it's stuck flashing "radio". I have let it sit for a half hour and it won't flash past that.

I am not sure how messed up this tablet is but I am stuck, can anyone help me get ANY operating system on this thing so it is at least useable? it is not rooted, I can flash to it but everything I have tried fails. Tried factory reset and cleared cache through recovery and that didn't work, and now I can't even access recovery. Right now all I can access is fastboot flash mode.

I bought this for my girlfriend and I am giving it to her tomorrow and I can't get this freaking thing to work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmarkod:
Hi guys, I'm looking here for help so I will try to describe the problem

So far, I've dismantled it 2 times not completely (didn't dismantle to part of tochscreen, digitizer etc.) and restored stock software twice, also tried rooting and installin CWM.

The problem is : 1.st thing- I't boots up and everything works, I lock it and unlock it without problems.

2.nd thing- If I try to unlock it with opening gamepad the screen stays black, even if I put game pad back.. But touch screen is usable because I can hear the sound and vibration feedback. The display becomes usable after some time of laying around.

3.rd thing- If I unlock it normally like in situation 1 and open gamepad and use phone for while, after I lock it (with opend/closed gamepad) the screen won't come on like in situation 2, but will become usable after some time of laying.

My main suspect is main flax cable.

Question

hi! I've recently bought a Nexus 5 which was updated to lollipop, lost 3g/4g connection and rolled back to kitkat, the problem still persists.

I've tried 5.1.1, 6.0 and now on cm12, whenever i try to switch to 3g/4g, it automatically disconnects itself from the network. Tried several radios, APN is good, and 2g works great.

This file would help me to restore 3g/4g connection? My imei is shown, so i don't have the "0" imei issue.

i would need to put the phone in diag mode, then run the qualcomm nv tools from the efs pro, and then upload your file to my phone via NV Backup/Restore function?

Thanks!

This is not my first time installing a custom ROM via CWM, but this is the first time doing so using adb sideload with an HTC One.

Here is where I'm at:

My device: m7spr 4.4.2 software version 4.06.651.4.

1. I am unlocked and rooted.

2. I am NOT S-Offed.

3. I currently have the stock ROM installed.

4. CWM is installed on my HTC One.

5. I have a custom ROM downloaded and saved in the folder with my adb (platform-tools) files.

From what I've gathered, the process at this point would be wipe the system, go into sideload, and through cmd run "adb sideload ROMNAME.zip."

If I'm missing any steps please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Is there a reason you need to sideload?

you could also adb push a rom to your phone from recovery

adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

Or just boot to OS and copy the rom over to your device.

To fix this, you need to desolder the USB-port from the mainboard and solder a new onto the mainboard. This is very hard to do if you haven't soldered a lot before, and it requires a lot of flux.

Just replace the mainboard, order a cheap Arc S from ebay with cracked screen and swap the mainboard.
