Does anyone know what this file is? It's found in the /data/local folder. Mine is 1.15GB and I want to know if its safe to delete.
Also if someone could see if they also have this file and if it's a similar size.

Its safe to delete providing you reboot right afterwards. Its size is zero, I'm guessing the 1.15 gig you see Is from trying to pull the file via adb?.

Yes, I had to reboot otherwise the device remained in a totally unstable state (lots of Force-Close because of missing free space on /data)
Using Root Explorer, /data/local/tsprsp was actually a very large file, not zero-sized.
Is this related to /system/bin/immvibed ??
This binary hogged my CPU usage for a while.
EDIT: this seems to be the haptic feedback (vibration) daemon.

if you are okay with shell interface, Terminal Emulator is what I would recommend.
sorry guys, I'm trying to overwrite this file
\system\media\audio\notifications\22_on_time.ogg
but ES explorer say it cannot do it. I chose properties and see that the file is read only.
How can I do it ??

Are you rooted? If not, you cannot do it, because you need root access to do changes in /system directory. If, you can do it with e.g. one of the following apps:
Root explorer (paid)
Super Manager (free)
File Expert (free)
After starting, you need to mount (switch) r/w. Additionally, in both free apps, you need to enable root option in their settings before. Now can you can overwrite.
Yessss !! it works (yes, I'm rooted)
Thank you, MatDrOiD ! I used File Expert. Just 2 questions:
in file expert, when i go into options - mount - and choose "read and write" should I be already positioned browsing the "system" folder ??
I've done this way, but I suspect that "mount read and write" is a global option referring to system folders and can be enabled just when entering File expert ?

Only System files have to be Mounted as Read/Write to Edit them, other than that they can't be Modified!

I don't like to say it, but pressing thanks-button would be awesome!
You can also mount r/w while in root folder, does not matter. After closing file expert, you always have to enable root explorer function and mounting r/w again, when you start file expert the next time. At least i cannot find an option to enable it permantly. Which is understandable for me, because superuser rights can damage your phone (so this enable action works metaphorically as a little warning, imho).
Hi, I have a rooted an android tablet (Chuwi Hi12) and find the lowest brightness way too bright. Now I found the settings of brightness and want to lower the settings but the system won't save the file with the new settings. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Many thanks.

I just need a location (I think). I looked in the root directory, /sdcard, and /cache and can't find anything. I am wondering if because this is small (~13 meg), if it isn't in the update.zip format???
I did a search on my PC with the phone connected for any file with a size over 10MB to see if I could find a strangely named 13.3MB file... but no luck there either. Do you have a file in your root directory named DiskCacheIndex25466.tmp or something like that? I never noticed it before, but it says it's 0 bytes...

Need some help here:
I need to delete some of the backups I made with CWM recovery. I already have them backed up onto my PC, but need to delete them to make some room. For some reason I cant.
Ive tried root explorer, es file explorer, and my PC. Im unable to change the permissions of the files, and if you look at the pics I attached youll see they have some strange permissions, but I cant change them.
I am able to move the files anywhere else in the sd card folder, rename them, but no matter what I cant delete them. And when I try from my PC it shows them disappear, but they are actually still there.
If there is a way to format the sd card folder I will, but thats not an option in the settings, or CWM. Can someone please help me out here? This is really frustrating me. Thanks

Same, tried with multiple apps too.
I posted this in the other thread, but figured I would do so here in case other people needed the "fix".
Ok, so some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, I was able to put together a flashable zip that WILL DELETE the entire CWM backup directory from the sdcard. It is available here:
http://core.routed.com/CWM_Backup_Wipe.zip
You simply need to flash it via CWM. Easy peasy. I confirmed that the directory/files were all removed, AND the storage space is now available for other files (I checked df before and after).
The bad news is, before attempting to delete the directory, I first tried changing the permissions (recursively) to see if that was a better "fix" for this problem. Unfortunately, even with the directory 777 and the files 666, I still could not manually delete them through the system. Which means, whatever bug is causing this problem is much more severe than a file/directory permission thing.
In any case, until the CWM developer can figure out a way to fix this bug, at least we have a way to manually remove the backups and get our storage space back.
The script in the zip is very simple. It just does a recursive delete on /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
Enjoy!

Just saying thanks for this, I hope they figure a fix out soon. Flash worked perfectly, for some storage space back. :good:
I'm with T-Mobile if that helps or changes anything, running 4.2.2. Now, I've gotten my phone to stop bugging me to install the OTA update. But the problem is the OTA update is still downloading in the background, it's just that I'm not being bugged by my phone to update it (i.e. there's no icon showing up in the notification bar). It becomes a sort of "silent update." So why is this a problem for me?
Because I'm on T-Mobile's cheapest plan which is the 500mb data plan. Each time the OTA downloads it eats up 155mb. And twice already this billing cycle it's done it, so that's 310mb of data wasted.
There are posts saying to use Titanium Backup Pro and freezing an app called Software Update MUC, and another post referring to the file as Software Update 2.3.0.5, but on my phone (using TB Pro) there's no file starting with "Software" anything.
So how do I stop my phone from downloading the OTA all together? Please help. Thanks.
Just install the update, that will make it stop for good
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Sorry, forgot to mention doing that won't work. For some reason my phone doesn't properly install OTA updates. I don't mind being stuck on 4.2.2. I just want the OTA downloads to stop in the first place.
Give this a try...
If rooted, use a file manager like Root Explorer, go to System/Etc/Security, (mount R/W) and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Reboot phone.

I've done that already. I renamed the file to otacerts.zip.back (instead of .bak). I assume that doesn't make any difference. I believe renaming the file is what is causing my phone to not show the OTA icon in the notification bar. But as I said, the issue for me is that my phone is still downloading the update itself.
Any other ideas?

On my phone, the file listed that comes before where lgfota.apk/odex should appear is LGEIME_THEME_BLACK.odex, and the file after that file is LGGallery.apk.

you can check in the system/priv-app; that's very odd for it not to be in system/app are you on stock rom/have you removed any bloat

I don't have a system/priv-app folder, either. I'm on stock rom, but I removed as much bloat as I can, including certain apps I find no use for (e.g. double-tap, voice command, etc). Maybe this will help: I used Root Explorer's search feature and searched for "fota", and here's what I think are the most "relevant" results:
/lgdms.fota.rc
/lgdms.fota_update.rc
/etc/fota
/etc/permissions/com.lge.fota.xml
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.jar
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.odex
Does this help? Anyone?

I also got the same issue. Sprint here. I have renamed all files like otacerts.zip & lgfota.apk/odex, still it downloads the damn update.
What is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads?
My /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache directory is 3.4GB, which is a major chunk of my internal storage, which is down to around ~768MB. Can I safely delete the contents of /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache?
I have so little internal storage that I can't complete app updates without going in and manually cleaning up cruft. And yes, I've moved apps to external storage and am saving photos and movies on it as well.
My thanks to those who take the time to help me with this.

Thank you for the reply!
On my phone I can't see this directory with my filesystem GUI of choice, X-Plore File Manager, but it's accessible from a terminal. which is how I discovered it was filled with over 3GB of cruft. I'm about ready to just clean the cache dir in that path and see what happens. :silly:
Answered
So, tired of waiting for input (except for you, robmeik. Thanks!) I decided to just clear the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache directory an pray it is just what it appears to be, a temp directory. Turns out, yes, that is all it is. I deleted the files and have suffered no deleterious effects.
Hi, Fat Rat Bastard. So sorry no one replied to you because I have the same issue. What happened when you deleted those large files? Did you android device even notice them missing?

You need a rooted phone and a root capable file manager to access that folder, android 101
