Minor Mistake - Xoom General

So uh.. don't ask me how but I deleted my /sdcard directory contents.
What issues might this cause me other than the loss of downloads etc....

You shouldn't have any other problems, other than loss of whatever was stored there.

Rooted but still cant delete a ringtone?

Hi I have a rooted n7 stock 4.1.2, I can't seem to delete a ringtone "hangout_dingtone.m4a" I am using ES File Exploer with SU permissions. Every time I delete it and reboot my n7 the files come back. The file is one file but when done a search shows up in two places, if I rename it in one place it renames in the other place as well. The files are located in /data/media/notification/hangout_dingtone.m4a and /storage/sdcard0/notification/ hangout_dingtone.m4a is there any way I can delete it from both locations? The reason why I want this done is because they show up multiple times in the default sounds menu.

That's because they are exactly the same location!
Just delete it from sdcard.

Youd think it would go away, but after a reboot there it is back in the folder. /sdcard/notification
any other way you can think of?

Ok, I deleted both hangout ring/ding tone files from notifications. Rebooted the phone and ding is back again.
Based on the name, it belongs to Google+, so I would say the app reinstalls the file if it is deleted.
Either leave the file alone or try freezing/uninstalling Google+.

How would you suggest I freeze google plus app?

Storage is full

I have cm10.1 on my nexus 4. I suddenly got a message telling me my storage is full. I am really confused because android tells me it is full but I got a storage analyzer app that tells me I only used 6gb(this is about what I think I used). Can someone please help me.
I couldn't get the screenshots to upload here so that is why I have the links below.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have any Nandroid backups on your phone? They don't show up in that storage tab in settings. They are also pretty big files.

SDCard0 vs Emulated/0 vs Emulated/legacy folders

I was browsing through my files using astro and I noticed I had three folders all of which have the same files/folders in them while also being the same size (6.9gb). I was curious if anyone knows which one is safe to delete? They are wasting space on my nexus 7 that I would like to free up. Or are they mandatory for the device to function?

You're seeing the same stuff, it's not taking up 3 times the space. For Christ sake don't delete from any of the locations as you'll be deleting your stuff.

OK thank you. Do you happen to know why it does that?

Hey that's confusing, because when I view the files in Astro it says that I have 10.79GB in /storage and 3.60 in /storage/sdcard0, /storage/emulated/legacy and /storage/eumated/0 respectively. It looks like it's being duplicated.

Galaxy s4 gallery keeps crashing?!?

what can I do? I go into gallery, then it's usable for 4 seconds, then closes. I've went into app info and cleared data and cache. I've wiped cache partition. nothing seems to work. it was usable yesterday. rooting has gotten me so many issues. my gallery thumbnails are over 9 gb gallery issues... please help. thanks

Ok, you're running stock firmware. Are you storing pictures on the external sdcard? I'm thinking you have a corrupted file. Are the pics backed up any where? Corrupted file would explain the large thumb nail size.

really? well uh my laptop died too.... (I'm in a MAJOR technological crisis... and to top it off, I just underwent a surgery on my foot which makes living with these issues 100X more frustrating) I'll backup all pics onto my new computer and delete my SD card and restore pics.... but the thing is, one time I'd unmounted and completely removed the SD card and it still showed a 9 gb thumbnail. how can the file get corrupted? I've never done anything to it. but the major issue I'm having right now is the gallery app crashing on me... i am able to view pics and videos through other app galleries like quick pic... but I really want to use stock gallery cause it has weather tags as well... i just like the extra details.... -_- haha. Thx and look forward to your reply.

Before you do all that, have u tried to clear gallery cashe in app manager under settings. If not it's worth a try...
thanks for trying to help, I mentioned that I already did that in the first post . I'm actually thinking of unrooting later. but idk... I mean iPhone was so much easier to use and even I thought it was an overrated phone. perhaps I should just use galaxy s4 uprooted so everything will just be bearable to use...

Take your sdcard out and see if out still crashes. What size and brand of card do you have. 64 gb SanDisk have caused some problems.

A lot of people have been having problems with them. I haven't paid that much attention to what the fix is other than Samsung cards seem to work. Google "64 gb SanDisk xda" and you should find threads that discuss the problem. Sorry I can't help more but I think that's your problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you restored system apps with tibu, yes it could cause problems. You should rarely if ever restore system apps. If you do a batch restore with tibu only restore missing apps and not any system data and apps.

I've been using quick pic... and when I opened the galley app it ran perfectly for about 15 seconds(very very slight lag from not opening it in a long time) and then crashed... i really want this problem to be resolved..

I'm encountering the same issues. If I clear Gallery data and restart the phone, sometimes the Gallery will stop crashing. But it will always crash again soon....
