Storage Location/Access Issue

Oh man... I'm in a pickle. :eek: I just clean flashed (wiped cache, data & system) r5 for the 3rd time. Though the ROM runs fine, I cannot download anything. I can push apps from Play Store and they'll load fine. But I can neither download any apps, pictures, etc. from a browser, nor any apps (Plex) from within the Amazon Store app.

Inside either ES File Explorer or File Manager, I cannot find my downloads folder, despite the fact that "Storage/Downloads" shows 375MB used. Just so you know, I had been able to find this folder in the past when it was moved from the /0 folder to /legacy (or something like that). But that's not the case anymore.

If I open the TWRP app, I get an error when trying to find a .zip to load. Yet when I go into recovery, then TWRP sees the zips. That's fine and all, but I need to somehow fix the downloads folder error.

Another clean flash of r5 is unlikely to solve this, I'm guessing. Again, I'm not using MultiROM, though I did unsuccessfully try it once about 4 months ago. I've clean flashed several times since then.

Am I looking at a complete wipe and factory restore? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

sorry to hear that ...

its great to see this thread making so much progress with both devs and users. Awesome atmosphere here!

Anyways, I am intrigued by the new Frank, just curious what makes it different than the other builds and pure AOSP. I am currently on Simple Aosp want to know the differences.

Anyone use viper4Android, and experience driver installation issues?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TA123:
I tried to install it and it looks like it does but asked to install every time I launched viper. So I think it works but for some reason the installation is not registered.

Is there any other GApps package that can i flash? I would like to have some more apps...

I know that I can download it from google play but I don't wanna use all my data storage for apps and have system storage almost all free...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] googleygoggles:
But still... 320!!!

If on the 8GB nexus 4 you only have ~5GB available and each app is between 100 and 300 MB, then your phone will fill up quick.

Google play services is at 100-ish too...

<4GB after google apps

A single heavy game is between 1GB and 2GB

≤2B left

Not to mention the pics, couple videos, and 300MB music library not in the cloud... Your DOOMED!

≤800MB free

A couple custom ROM zips and you phone is beyond capacity...

--600MB left :(

I have a wifi problem when I tried to restore saved wifi points via parcel. The wifi stuck in "turning on" and I only solved the issue when I did a factory reset (dirty flashing the rom again didn't solve).

It works fine with nuplayer from developer option unchecked, and for me with permissive mode on (selinux app) and moving it from data to system (private apps) after install the app. There are zip files to install directly there and remove the lib from viper in its thread,
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
That was the plan to have a minimum gapps version and have a separate zip to flash for gapps. It was supposed to just have the essentials like the launcher, search (search is tied into the google launcher) and play store. Might have to look back into that so people are getting the most up to date gapps versions instead of the preview ones that are like a month outdated now

i dont think the issue with the google apps is a google apps issue, i think that most issues with them are coming from the user space and data associated with it. most arent having any issues. if there existed a problem, most if not all would have issues with them.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I think we should ask people with problems with anything would be did you use tibu and what did you restore. Like I said, we already tracked down reboots to text messages being restored because of sqlite database incompatibly so I would like to have people asked if they used it

Ya that didn't work,its been a constant issues since I went from beta2 to 4 everything worked great for me with beta 2.think I'll wait till its more stable, had to flash back to NX5
[Nexus 4 Android Development] simms22:
i didnt use tibu, i let google restore for me(which it started even before i saw my homescreen, lol). anyways, i had the fc issue with gmail. it would open fine, but if i went to open a gmail, it force closed. i fixed it though, myself. since i fixed it myself, i know its not an issue with the apps, most likely data.

but then again, there are more than one kind of issue hsppening. so, some might be real issues, but mostly probably data issues.

The return key comes up after you press shift. If you are at the beginning of a sentence and it is auto-capitalizing then you will have to press shift twice.

It seems like they rolled it into one button. When Enter is visible a long-press will let you select emoji/skip (previous/next), and when the emoji button is visible a long-press will give you Enter/skip, and so on.

Took a little while to get used to it, but now I prefer the Google keyboard over SwiftKey. Will see how it will compare to Minuum when they update their app for L comparability

It appears as though I'm having a conversation with myself. :cyclops: But I solved the problem and thought I'd go ahead and post the solution in case anyone else has the same issue.

The answer was found in this very helpful post (#2 of this thread):

Though my error messages weren't the same, the root of the problem was. The first 8 steps here resolved the problem.

Thanks V. That's exactly what started my problem- restoring Wi-Fi Access Points via Parcel.

I was typing my resolution when you posted. That's essentially what I did to resolve the problem- factory reset. Thanks again!

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Shad0w32:
Because syko was nice enough, to warmly welcome OT in this thread. This led to a community that is helpful, yet still fun. Does it really disturb you this badly? Or what is the problem?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:
There. You have it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fedevd:
Even if Mr. Bean is the OP, this is a dev thread so the first concern gotta be dev discussions, not funny coments. Do you wanna be fun? It's ok for me but be smart and answer the dev related question first and the joke later or use the Q&A thread on Q&A section or General. Why so hard follow the rules?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Shad0w32:
As you may have noticed, all questions regarding the developement are being answered, yours included. This means, that if we go OT, thats no problem. And if another question/problem comes, it will be resolved in, like, half an hour, tops. OT does not obstruct anything.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fedevd:
Look dude, is simple, this is a dev thread, answer the related question just how it should be, not with a joke. What is ok for you could not be ok for me so if I ask something related to this thread how it should then I hope an answer how it should.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
All the users here are all helpful and will answer your questions. You should ease up a bit.. This thread is like how it is, Tons of fun.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Shad0w32:

There's a saying that goes "when in Rome, do as the Romans".

I think everyone here understands and respects your preference for a more serious thread, which most of us here would consider less fun and more boring, and there are plenty of those on XDA for the Nexus 4. If you are not comfortable with how this ROM is supported in a thread where the OP and developer has specifically encouraged OT discussion, then this ROM is probably not for you, and there are similar AOSP based ROM's available for the Nexus 4 whose threads have less OT discussion.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] fedevd:
So better to not use this rom 'cus the thread have OT? Your point, in that aspect, it's totally wrong, rom is one thing and the thread is other thing. Look, rukes are simple, dev thread, dev discussion. If you like OT then do it, never said to stop OT, I just wanted a clean answer like [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] made, not that funny one so I claimed that kind of answer. Is that bad? Not at all and I am not wrong claiming a seriously answer and not OT.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Yup, getting ready for the NFL games and college playoff selections. The first three teams are locked (Alabama, Oregon and Florida State) but the fourth team is a toss-up between TCU, Baylor and Ohio State and I'm rooting for OSU since I grew up in Ohio.

I did try to be diplomatic in my last response but now I need to be blunt.

This thread has been reviewed by several moderators, one of whom suggested that it should be more OT, until he saw the preference by [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] in the OP:

If you haven't read the OP yet I suggest you do that now and take special note of that request by the developer of this ROM.

You're not a moderator and have no authority to enforce the XDA rules so it's time for you to stop spamming this thread with you personal biases and either accept the wishes of the developer or move on.

If you're concerned about a specific answer that you got and think it was flippant then ask it again and request a more serious response. But that has nothing to do with this thread being often OT by design and the preference of the developer.

15. Keep threads / posts on-topic

Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.

The rule allows exceptions to be made since the term "general rule" is used.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] fedevd:
Again you are wrong. Never enforced anyone here and I don't need authority or be a XDA Staff member to claim what is right or wrong. If you think that developer whishes are more important than global forum rules then you're wrong in that too. Didn't said to stop OT, just wanted an answer in the same way that I asked the question that syko answered how it should be, now, the funny one wasn't of my interest and I told it and now I have a couple users almost on DEFCON4 because I don't want OT, just the answer that Syko made? Either you are a staff member, have the authority or made the thread to keep me out of this, even if you are a contributor, you are not more than a normal user so stop suggesting me irrelevant things, I don't have 2 days on this forum. Ok, no more spam here but your point of discussion it's totally wrong and I will be glad to show you why over PM.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
The problem with that is everyone has a slightly different idea of what is off topic. In a more "strict" thread I've even seen users object because a kernel being used with a ROM is discussed in the same thread when they feel that discussion should be in the kernel thread instead.

I think most users here are fine with things the way they are currently handled and when that's not the case I believe there will be a consensus to make some changes. Or [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] will qualify what off topic discussion is allowed as he did when requests for Inbox invitations were banned.
