Can anyone figure where the missing 2GB or so is gone? Tried pushing files from PC but it failed and the files don't show up but the missing 2GB is about the size of the pushed files that are nowhere to be found...
P.S. tried to push the same files to my Nexus 7 2013 and have the same problem there...anyone know how I could find and delete these files without resetting my device (I've already tried the search function on ES File Explorer and the same storage discrepancy can also be observed from the storage tab in android settings).

Easiest way is just to flash the factory images and reset the partition

12.92gb total, thats what its supposed to be. you dont get a full 15gb to use, some goes to the system. if thats what youre talking about.
or, you are talking about the 2.43gb in the android folder?

that's not the point, the point is there isn't 4.97GB of data there. It should be 3GB at most...and pretty sure it used to be before I tried to unsuccessful push file to the devices.
BTW I was using wugfresh's toolkit when I tried to push the files if that is of importance

did you ever make a nandroid backup in your recovery?
and yea, dont use toolkits. you think they make things easier, but they dont. plus they can cause their own issues too.

This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!
-E
you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.
Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E
how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?
can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything
Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.
I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.
use total commander
worked great thanks
Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.
Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?
Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.
Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.
sent from my phone using my fingers
Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot
Right, this is very weird...
I made a Nandroid backup (compressed) on TWRP for this first time, it completed successfully and then I powered off and turned the Nexus 4 back on. However to my surprise, I could not find the backup on my SD card. I checked everywhere (data/media...TWRP folder...etc). I even checked the entire phone (with root explorer enabled), nothing. However the backup was successful because my Available Space has fallen by roughly 1gb, the size of my backup. Does anyone know whats going on here?
Thanks in advance, really appreciate your support.

Hmm, unfortunately I don't get that. This is what I see.
Could it be because I am using a theme on my TWRP (the Holo one btw, which no one else has reported a problem on)...
Edit: Okay, I think I solved it...I went onto the root of the phone again this time, searched the data folder and was able to find Media -> Backups (see below). Why is that it appears here rather on the SD card data folder?

maybe because you compressed it? i dont compress mine.
Thanks for the help Simms, but after digging around on XDA forums, I found the cause and the solution (posted here):
jasonwc said:
There was a weird bug with TWRP that put the FIRST backup in /data/media/TWRP/backups (read: wrong). After rebooting the recovery, all future backups will go into /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, which is where you want them.
Here's what I think happened:
1) Your first backup was stored in /data/media/TWRP which is not where TWRP looks for backups. So, TWRP showed no backups.
2) You ran a second backup which showed up correctly in TWRP, and was stored in /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups.
3) You renamed the most recent backup, and then checked /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, and assumed the renaming actually moved the folder. I don't think it did.

Hi,
I'm very desperate and I know I should've backed up everything but now I'm in a situation where I'm wondering if there's any way to mount the block and recover my photos. Please let me know. I would really appreciate it.
I'm on stock Lollipop with root.
Thanks in advance.
I've tried this but I can't tell what I'm doing wrong; I know I'm getting warmer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

I got pretty far but still aren't able to recovery anything from DCIM. Is that separate from userdata partition? Does anyone know?
Trying new route via:
http://www.df.lth.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/
Well, you could try some "deleted files recovery app" from google play.
The photos might still be there somewhere. If not overwritten by some other file that needed that space.

Right now, it appears that DCIM is not on the same partition as "userdata". On my i9505G, the userdata partition is mmcblk0p28. I was able to restore other photos on the /sdcard but none of the DCIM files. I feel like these files might be stored on a different partition but unable to find any reference online. Anyone have ideas?
All I know is that the s4 uses its internal storage to emulate an sdcard.
And this causes problems with some apps, like apps2sd. Maybe it also causes your issue.
Hey guys. I've been struggling. Researching. Trying different things. But I can't get a specific APK out of my phone, located at:
/mnt/expand/05a8567d-f4ea-47f7-8e57-292150ed49ca/user/0/zombie.survival.craft.z/base.apk
I tried copying the file into another location. I can't access that folder on my computer when exploring my phone. The remote object '/mnt/expand/05a8567d-f4ea-47f7-8e57-292150ed49ca/user/0/zombie.survival.craft.z/base.apk' does not exist whenever I try the command 'adb pull /mnt/expand/05a8567d-f4ea-47f7-8e57-292150ed49ca/user/0/zombie.survival.craft.z/base.apk
IDK.
I want to goof around and attempt to edit it with APK Studio but I can't seem to get it over to my computer. Maybe I could use ADB?
I am rooted with Xposed framework and have ADB on my computer.
I am not trying to do this with ill intentions, I am a computer science major who is just curious and likes to mess with things.
Screenshots below:

Since when does photobucket not host embedded images anymore? That's crap.
Move this app to internal memory & use adb.
Or
Use total commander on phone and copy base.apk to another folder(downloads f.e.),
Or
Use my apks from play store.
You have sd card as adopted storage, folders are only mounted/linked. @m3kgt99

Thanks @dzidexx That went so smoothly. Like 2 seconds. I guess I should have researched about what I was really doing when I partitioned my SD card like that and stored my apps in /mnt
I feel like my phone has been so laggy and glitchy ever since I did that. This is probably why?

Yes it could be.
Sd card should be uhs1 or uhs3.
F.e.:
Samsung evo, evo+ 2017.

It's a UHS1 64GB. It just sucks only having a 16GB phone where the OS alone takes up almost half of it.
Geez when I pulled it from ADB I had to search my whole computer and finally found my APK in
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I figured it would just put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot (where I have all my other zip files that I pushed over to my phone)
