internal storage bork

I also had this problem with the sdcard (internal storage) being "lost". Here are a few more details for anyone who can figure out more. I couldn't fix the problem.

Problem: /storage/emulated/0 will no longer work properly. It will not redirect to /data/media/0. All of the files in /data/media/0 are still there, but they can't be access through /storage/emulated/0 or /sdcard or /storage/emulated/legacy, etc. If you try to get into that folder from shell, you'll get the error message "Opendir failed; permission denied"

How did it get to that point? I flashed L, flashed SuperSU. Then, I noticed that certain root apps caused the phone to go into a bootloop (Greenify, Autostarts). After that point, I could manually power down the phone and get it to boot again, but then the sdcard would be borked. I also backed up using TWRP prior to the bootloop, but restoring it wouldn't solve the problem with sdcard.

Try this

[Nexus 5 General] djovani_:
Or you can use root explorer and navigate to /system/ build.prop and edit it to the custom DPI you want. This actually how i change mine.

Will I have to update anything to get the apps to work on android L and if I'm rooted? Update super SU maybe? Can someone explain??
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
What? Follow the op.
[Nexus 5 General] mpa927:
I have android L and am rooted but unfortunately some apps I love don't work yet. What will I have to update in the future to get them to work? Twitter among others crash constantly... Is it super su I need to update or something?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
L is a preview release. It's the apps themselves that need to be updated. You'll just have to wait
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Twitter Beta was updated with support for L

So anytime I attempt to modify system, I get a bootloop. I'm a seasoned pro (lol) so I know how to get out of it, but it involves my computer and about 20 mins. I've read others with a similar issue, then others that don't.

Anyone in here know what I'm talking about? If so, what's your fix? This is my third clean fastboot flash and LightFlow hates me now. Crash city.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
I initially had issues and what worked for me was a complete re-flash flash. Then before setting anything up boot into the stock recovery, clear cache and then factory reset
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Yea there's some kinda security going on with messing with system files. I was able to remove the recovery-from-boot.p file that regenerates the stock recovery but anything else is up in the air. Also lightflow works so well but it seems after a couple a reboots it just bombs the system and i have to remove or it keeps my system in continuous bootloopage...

Hello. You are new so I'm gonna give you some advice that'll help you along your way both here at XDA, and in the interwebs as a whole.

We are all here to learn. And this being a Dev forum supposedly first and foremost, you are expected to take it seriously. By this I mean don't expect to be spoon fed information. There is a wealth of knowledge in here to be made your own but you must want it enough to find it. Use Google, use the funky XDA search....just whatever you do, search.

Good luck.
[Nexus 5 General] 1ManWolfePack:
To add on to this, here is how I search:

1) go to google.com

2) type "how to do xyz Nexus 5 XDA"

3) read

If you put the XDA tag at the end of your questions it will show the forums in your search results.
[Nexus 5 General] mpa927:

Hello -

When using newromupdateutility_wizard_noid to install any ROM I get a Windows GPF and haven't been able to get around it. When I install one of the other ROM's that are compiled into an exe file they work fine.

Is there any way for me to install the ROM from the storage card without involving Windows? Anybody know if I can convert the ROM files into an installable exe format?

Thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] baarod:
"When I install one of the other ROM's that are compiled into an exe file they work fine." That's actually using the ROM Update Utility behind your back. Try this -- Start, Run, type %temp% and hit enter. Note that an explorer window comes up. Now run one of the ROMs compiled into an exe file -- don't do anything with it just run it and watch that explorer window. You'll see a new subdirectory get created. Copy that new directory to your desktop or wherever and quit the ROM update utility. Inside you'll find all the files you normally do in a ZIP or RAR ROM update including a new ROM Update Utility that you can TRY to use.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igoritza:
I have i9300, locked to Telenor Serbia

It was already updated to 4.3, so it was EFS2 on it

I rooted, installed Philz touch recovery, and Paranoid Android 4.4.2 (android 4.4)

there still is no way to unlock efs 2 ? I need the phone working asap, and I would purchase code, but I need to ask:

will the purchased code work on this rom, or do I need to revert to stock, in order to apply purchased code ?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Unlock code should work on any rom, but you could flash a stock firmware to be sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slixzen:
So, I am looking for a way to automatically add the date and time to contact entries that I enter on my phone. Whether this is by an app, or by some third party or something. My problem is, that I have a bunch of contacts, that I don't know when they were added or who they are (lots of long nights). While I am sure it may be hard or impossible to retroactively do this, I want to find a way to do this in the future.

I am not sure if this would be able to be done by an xposed module, (take the date and time and add it into the description field) or if there is a third party contact manager that would be able to automatically save to my Google account.

Does anyone know of something like this? Or any trusted third party contact managers that may be modular, or extensible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sahkha_92:
I've been using [MENTION=4491606]ktetreault14[/MENTION]'s and [MENTION=1512492]cdmvirt[/MENTION]'s S5 port ROMs for some time now (which by the way, are both amazing, I honestly salute your guys' work), and being extremely particular with regards to small details, I noticed that the Download Booster toggle, though it does show up in the Settings under notification panel, never actually makes to the SystemUI - statusbar toggles. I'm not sure as to whether this was just an issue I was experiencing, perhaps I was doing something wrong while setting up the ROM, however, being new and not being able to post on the development forum, I wasn't really able to see if anyone else was experiencing this.

Nevertheless, I managed to figure out how to enable it, if indeed you were not able to get the 'NetworkBooster' toggle to show up in the statusbar toggles.

---------INSTRUCTIONS--------

1. Go to the Google Drive links below and download the noti_pane_netw_boos.zip AND the SystemUI(corrected toggles).apk.

2. Rename your current SystemUI.apk in system/priv-app/ to SystemUI.apk.bak, or simply back it up just in case.

***MAKE SURE TO DO NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE NEXT STEP IN CASE FOR WHATEVER REASON A PROBLEM ARISES***

3. Reboot into recovery mode (I was using Philz), clear dalvik cache, and flash the 'noti_pane_netw_boos.zip'.

4. Reboot your device.

***NOTE: YOU MUST ADD THE 'WifiCalling' TOGGLE INTO THE 'Settings.db' 'system' TABLE, NOT 'NetworkBooster'. ***

i.e. If you use the SQLite method to add/remove quick toggles, go to SettingsStorage.apk in SQLite Editor, go to Settings.db, then go to 'system' table, then for the value of 'notification_panel_active_apps_list', add 'WifiCalling;', making sure to not add any spaces and to end the line with a ';' (semi-colon).

----> If you use the method of going into csc/feature.xml or csc/others.xml and adding the quick toggles in the <CscFeature_Settings_DefNotificationPanelOrder> and <CscFeature_Settings_DefQuickPanelOrder> tags, simply do the same. Add 'WifiCalling;' at the end of the list.

5. Reboot device once again in order to allow the above changes to take place, and you should have the download booster toggle in the statusbar.

Let me know if you have any issues or questions.

Regards

db loss

I used an aluminum bumper on my s4 and had a large signal loss. How is it with that case?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jspare:
I don't really see any signal loss. The case is slippery and makes the phone heavier. It also does not "grip" very well. It looks awesome but the sweeping bulges interfere with using the phone. I am happy with the way it looks but not with the use of the phone with it on.

It fits in my pocket fine but it does make the phone very wide. I think it is bigger than a note 3 when in this case.

GPS

I find the aluminium bumper affects GPS reliability. Even till a point where maps isn't usable on the S5.

Cell signal is affected adversely by around -10 dBm with the aluminium bumper on as well but I'm in the bush so signal is usually bad.

Vin.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SeaFractor:
Carrier posibly an impact?

I have a similar setup. However instead of the Draco Design Supernova, I have the cheap (~$12) Love Mei knock off called the "Slim Waist Bumper".

Finish is not as good as the Draco (all the milling marks are still evident, rather than the quality finish of the Draco, so you get what you pay for. A cheap prices for a cheap case).

Note, I'm not sure but possibly the Wireless Charging Back is helping? Besides the charging pad, there's an extended antenna for the NFC (normally from the battery). Perhaps it's used for more than NFC and thus negates some of the metal case impact?

I do see from the FCC images for T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint that antenna layouts differ between those devices. Perhaps this impacts the signal as well.

That said, I found that I still have extremely close to the same amount of phone signal, no appreciable Wi-Fi impact (I use 802.11ac, but it's been solid everywhere I use wireless) and the GPS shows accurate to 16 feet when using the GPS testing software. Removing the case yields a stronger GPS, but the accuracy seems to be similar (14 feet). So perhaps it's where I'm located and the number of SATs in view (15).

Downtown Seattle, GPS is pretty spotty but I suspect the skyscrapers blocking line of site is the reason. But in urban and suburban locations it's pretty solid. I've used the Google Navigation functions multiple times with the phone and case and have arrived to my destination every time.

The use of a glass screen protector, this case and the official Wireless Charging Back have provided me a nice looking phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] wildguess:
Thank you for your review SeaFractor.

jspare, SeaFractor, I heard that the Wireless Charging cover is thiker than the original one and many cases will not fit.

Does it affect how Draco bumper sits on the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] SeaFractor:
No, it fits fin as the wireless back is thicker, just still has that rounded back on the sides. There's enough slope that it doesn't interfere with the case. It actually looks designed for it. I've removed the back and put on the original and it looks good either way.

Obviously I enjoy using the wireless charging as I was worried about the USB port cover eventually getting damaged from use.

To my experience, I've never gotten a virus. None of my phones have issues. Nor have I ever heard of it. Linux is complex system, though viruses exist everywhere. And in many forms you have a slight chance of getting a virus.

Using anti-virus apps are worthless and don't really work. They slow your device down allot, and usually ruin your experience.
