[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Death_Angel:.:
Hello all :) .

I have a Android Phone that has very low Internal Storage. (After STOCK mod restore, there is only 100 MB internal storage free :( .).

So, naturally I want to put all the apps that I install now to External SD Card.

I've tried App2SD and Link2SD already.

But, when i used App2SD, the internal storage was still dropping as I installed more and more apps. (App2SD was working, meaning app2sd did move the apps to SD, but still there was decrease in free Internal Memory).

Then, I tried Link2SD. This gave me the same result as App2SD. This was better than App2SD though, meaning the decrease in Internal Memory was slower compared to App2SD.

Now, here's my question : I want a proper technique to move EVERYTHING app related to SD card when i install an app.

Here is an Idea :

Can i create links to Directories in Internal Memory and move the Directories to external SD card ?

i know i can create links to files. but is it possible to link whole directories ? (If the app tries to create new files or directories, the link must work in such a way that new files and directories are created in External SD....... this must be invincible or transparent to the App..)

Some more of my Ideas :

Recently, I came across this : [TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req. - xda-developers

Can I Bind the whole "/data/app" and "/data/data" and "/data/dalvik-cache" to External SD Card ?

Will it cause any OS instability ? or any other problems ?

And i have 1 more question :

When i install a new Application, I wanna know all the directories that it uses.

These i know : /data/app (for apk), /data/data (for data) and /data/dalvik-cache (for odex) ... Where else does the application use storage space ?

This i wanna know coz, im going to try to Bind the Directories using the tool i mentioned above. Or try to create Links...

Thanks a lot fellow XDA-Developers.... :highfive:.

If its of any help, my android device is "Karbonn A5i" .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LS.xD:
Int2Ext sript is what you're looking for :) You will have to partition your sdcard. First partition Fat(32), second partition Ext2/3/4. The scripts are meant to flash immediately after flashing the rom via cwm as other recoveries are not doing well with the scripts.

Int2Ext scripts move all app data to the Ext partition on your sdcard

Int2Ext+ scripts will move most of the data to Ext partition but will still use some of the internal storage as its faster this way.

Keep in mind that moving all data to sdcard will slow down your device :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Death_Angel:.:
Thanks a lot LS.xD for your reply. I hit a few bumps along the road, but its working like charm now :D .

Here are the problems that I faced :

1) I didn't have Init.d Support in my Phone.

Solution :

Universal Init.d - Android Apps on Google Play

This Doesn't work at all :

[GUIDE][XSP]Easy init.d support for Stock ROMs - xda-developers

2) The Int2Ext script installation resulted in an Error (in ClockworkMod) (Status 0 Error.).

Solution :

After getting past those things, everything is working just fine now :) (I'm using INT2EXT) .

Again, Thanks a lot LS.xD for you help.

Superb headphone volume boost for the Note 12.2 and it's dead easy to do.

Rooted of course, go to System> Etc and open default_gain.conf

Modify the following lines in the first "headphone" section to the below:

{ "HPOUT1L input 1 volume", 50},

{ "HPOUT1R input 1 volume", 50},

Reboot and it's loud as hell with no distortion. It's set really low because of the usual health and safety crap.

I use ES file explorer, open it with ES Note Editor and remember in ES root explorer settings to select Mount R/W

Hope this helps!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jawain:
Sweet!! Does this improve the sound of the device internal speakers?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] wingdo:
Pretty sure the Headphone hack doesn't affect the speakers.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kradcliffe:
No, this is for headphone output only.

You can amend other parts of the file for speakers, but be careful you don't blow them.

Also keep a backup of the original file in case you screw anything up!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gtm55:
I can't find that file...

I have P905, rooted
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kradcliffe:
You need to have system root access and go back to device rather than the SD card
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gtm55:
I have root access and I've searched for that file in system/etc as you said, as far as I know system folder can be found only on device; anyway I want to try something, could you, please, send me that file? I'll try to copy it to that location and see. Thank you!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kradcliffe:
Here is the modified file. Just unzip

Keith
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ColBill:
Thank you Sir for providing the file. I have a P905 as well and could not find the file you described to modify.I will use attempt to use the file also depending on the results that gtm55 gets from that experiment. I did not find or identify the speaker file to hack either do you have that file as well.

Thanks again for sharing.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gtm55:
Thank you!

Tried, but unfortunately "0" effect... We have to find another trick for the P905
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kradcliffe:
Can't understand why the P905 would be any different. All Samsung devices I've had in a while have had a similar file.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gtm55:
My note 3 (SM-N9005) doesn't have it either, maybe lte devices have another configuration...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Spere:
I don't have it either on my SM-N9005 Note 3 or on my SM-P905 Note Pro.

Maby it's only on exynos based devices and not in SD.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
Qualcomm based (mostly LTE) models have very different file structure - this is because Qualcomm provides System-on-a-chip solution including gpu/soundboard/radio devices, not only cpu, so every important component has to be configured in DIFFERENT way than elsewhere...

So has anyone figured out how to hack this yet???? ive been looking every where for a volume hack and this is the only thing ive found.

[MENTION=5129165]esgie[/MENTION], you seem like the person who would know where this file would be for us to change, any solutions????
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Spere:
I haven't personally tested this, but what about opening /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

Then finding this:

<!-- Play Scenario -->
<path name="speaker">
<path name="spk" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="83" />
<ctl name="RX6 Digital Volume" value="83" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT3 Volume" value="19" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT4 Volume" value="19" />
</path>

<path name="headset">
<path name="ear" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="77" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="77" />
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" />
</path>

If I'm right, for headset "HPHL Volume" stands for left side volume and HPHR for right, and increasing these (to 25 or so??) you can increase headphone playback volume

For speakers it might be RX* Digital Volumes.

But like I said, I have not tested this so I can't know exactly what this do :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
Yup, been using it for a moment, even 88 seems clear and significantly louder.

Also, in the nearest neighborhood of above lines of xml file there are adjustable values for different scenarios like dock or bluetooth speaker etc.

I still recommend ViPERs audio btw
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Spere:
In fact I can't find any way to increase bluetooth volume (I got SM-P905). With V4A I can boost it up a little, but not enough.

More about it HERE

If you know how to increase volume max level for BT playback any help will be appreciated :)
[Moto X Q&A] Talguy:
I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.

1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.

2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.

3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly

4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.

5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.

So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.
[Moto X Q&A] danny39:
Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.
[Moto X Q&A] Talguy:
So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.

So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.

Love MX Pro! Your H/W+ was the only thing that fixed my video stuttering issue on my HTC One with Android 4.4.2, thanks! My question is if there is a way to fix the Bluetooth audio lag while watching videos? It's about 1-2 seconds off. I think it's a Android bug, and did not have the problem on my HTC Sensation on ICS.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
I would think this is an android bug as well. It's been mentioned on the old forum before:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/KlZenh0VFR4/discussion

The developer is aware of the issue, though I'm not sure if he has a fix yet.
[MX Player] RADiuMOz:
Yes - it's an Android bug, but funnily enough, apps like YouTube don't have any (noticeable) lag. I posted about this a year ago, as well (here), as it was supposed to have been fixed by then - but as it still happens, it clearly hasn't been. I've had to stop using MX Player Pro because of this (I play video through my hearing aids via Bluetooth). Fingers crossed the developer will (eventually) fix this...

It's seems to be audio latency issue. Either It may be from ROM or Headset.

Kindly try the latest nightly version. It has an option to audio offset. You can even set default audio offset for bluetooth devices.

how can i reinstall android again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medy89:
did you delete everything ? even the root folders ?

thats probably the case if you tried to insatall unbuntu... if I guess right..

in case you didnt back up what was on your phone before ... you will have

to find those datas again .... since you probably deleted

I never deleted everything so im not sure .. but you probably need

a new factory image for your nexus 5 in that case....

then just do a factory reset i guess.... or you probably can boot up again if those files are back...

Okay so here is what i did. I was looked at wifi at the house and noticed that I have two wifi SSID that I did not connected too but when I tried to delete them it would fail. So I tried this and now WIFI is messed up. I somehow changed something in wpa_supplicant.conf and now I get '"Wi-Fi Connected to %1$s"and I can not turn wifi on. Can this be fix with out restoring the whole phone or am I BONED.

I searcher all over the place and did not find a wifi fix, but then I remembered what my wife always tells me, search for what you f'ed up, not what is f'ed and bam I found this. I did what part b said and deleted wpa_supplicant.conf and all is right with the world. Wi-Fi is back to normal and working great.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fmcfad01:
Before I get into my question, I want to say I've tried literally everything I've been able to google, titanium backup pro, rom toolbox pro, etc. None seem to work on the SkyFall ROM and maybe Sense.

So essentially I want to back up my bluetooth pairs in order to restore them on any other ROM. My reason for wanting to do this is that I have a bluetooth dongle in my car that will only accept 2 pairs before it has to be reset. The fun part is, I can't reset it and have to send it back to the company for that to be done. So I try to avoid completely wiping my phone in every way. The problem is, our phones are so new, there are tons of roms to try, keeping in mind CM11 hasn't been officially released.

My phone is in a little bit funky of a state and I'd like to do a clean wipe and install, however, that will use up my last slot in the car.

Since none of the tools seem to work, is there a particular folder, database, etc that stores the bluetooth pairs? If so, can I just copy that off and put it in place on the fresh install/new ROM? That would be lovely.

Any help appreciated.

I just back up Bluetooth Parings with Titanium Backup. Works for me.

Can you let me know exactly which items to backup in TiBu? I've given it a try a few times and it hasn't worked. If you could give me a step by step, I'd appreciate it!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Bluetooth Parings is the only thing I back up and restore. Every once in a while if I flash a rom and restore Bluetooth Parings I have to go into bluetooth settings and click on whatever device I'm trying to use. No paring necessary though, it just connects. After that, the rest of my bluetooth devices seem to connect without having to do that. It doesn't happen on every rom I flash though. Usually I just restore them, turn on the device and it connects.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

OK, I got to thinking about this. Up until now, I haven't tried it on the M8. Before this, I was on a Moto Razr Maxx and running Jelly Bean. If I backed up bluetooth pairings, all of my devices would show up in bluetooth settings after restoring them. I got to thinking about the fact that I hadn't tried it with this phone yet so I restored a backup of a rom that I hadn't paired any of my devices on yet. I restored bluetooth parings in TB, rebooted and then looked in bluetooth settings to see if they were there. They weren't. So, I turned on one of them and without doing the scan for devices thing, I immediately got a message asking if I wanted to pair to the device. I chose yes and it connected.

So, perhaps things have changed since Jelly Bean. However, it seems to me that the device must have been properly backed up by TB or else I would have had to scan for devices to see the one I'd turned on. In this case, like I said, I turned the device on and immediately was asked if I wanted to pair to it. I chose yes and it was connected.

On the other roms I've tried (when I hadn't restored a backup) I had to go through the scan for devices routine before it would connect. So, not sure what to tell you. Seems like something is there from the backup or I would have had to scan for devices first.
