So I was installing a new rom, when I noticed all of these directories when I hit install from sd card (particularly 0, 10, and legacy ) and was curious as to why they are there and if there is a way to consolidate them. (formatting entire tablet, etc) 0 seems to include what was previously on the tablet, and 10 seems to be a fresh partition of some sort.

No one? Is it that difficult or is it that stupid of a question?

No question is stupid, I can't explain exactly why legacy and 0 are there and what they are for however I will say that's just how android works. But I know exactly why you have what was previously on the tablet and that 0 and 10 folder thing going on. Ever since 4.2 legacy and emulated and the 0 folder were added, all this stuff, for some reason when flashing a new ROM the previous roms 0 folder stays and the flashing process changes the new roms directory that would be zero. My solution is formatting the internal storage then flashing a ROM via sidload in recovery.

0 and legacy have to do with multi user support; 10 is probably related as well. Anthony is absolutely right about how to fix it. You should probably also update your recovery if you're not on the latest already. I'm pretty sure that should prevent this from happening again.

Hi,
0, 10 and legacy are related to multi user feature. 0 is supposed to be your main user, while 10 is your secondary (that's why it's a full new folder) and legacy is supposed to be like the old /sdcard. When this happened to me I simply flashed a ROM and then moved the 0 folder back to /sdcard. Then checked if there was anything important in 10 and afterwards deleted it.
I'd suggest you installing TWRP recovery, it never failed on me .

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. As it's more of a nuisance at the moment (I know it's eating my memory, but I'm not running low yet) so I'm going to wait until I decided to update my ROM, then I'll format and sideboard.

Not sure what the cause is, just got my 7 yesterday.. stock rooted, aokp, doesn't make a difference- dropbox doesn't work and just gives the error "Storage full or unavailable"..
Doing a search, the only thread that mentioned it was "[ROM]| Glazed JellyBean|Version 1.1.2|Glazed Mods|Custom Animations|Speed|" and it had to do with an error in the rom, not my issue.
I've tried reinstalling the app, factory reset, flashing aokp(from stock rooted)- none have had a working dropbox, but I can't find any other posts that others have had the same issue.
I also have a few error 492 when downloading a few apps from market(like dead trigger), not sure if it is related..
Is dropbox looking for an external SD?
And "Protect usb storage" is NOT checked in developer options, just in case someone asks.
All I did was unlock bootloader, root.. nothing that should keep dropbox from working.
Although Im on stock but unlocked bootloader and rooted i have had the play store error and i just restarted and it worked fine since, dropbox i cant help mine logs in fine and i can use it perfect

My issue seems to be more than just drop box.. stock gallery app closes immediately after showing this:

}
As I said, pretty sure I didn't do anything to cause this.. I'm assuming there's a way to flash the original software that will repartition the device(like flashing HTC phones with ruu, or Samsung with Odin)?
I haven't had a lot of time to look into these things since o got it yesterday, so if anyone has a quick possible solution is appreciate it!
Edit: I'd like to know if this process([Guide] Returning to Stock and/or Unbricking your device) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 actually repartitions everything.. but I decided to go trade this one out for another one rather than beat my head on a wall with an issue no one else appears to have. Still worth finding out.

I could not find mine either.
Some people said its in media > data > clockworkmod
What i did was go back to recovery, select back up options and then chose delete.
That deleted them manually.
You should try that.

Thanks guys, the only way I managed to do so is from the Recovery itself under Delete options, nothing found in my file manager, or even a root explorer

Root Explorer can see it perfectly, did you go to the location I posted you?

I screwed up. My impatience to get my tablet setup again after wiping and putting cm on got the best of me. I typically just use titanium backup for game saves and launcher settings, the rest I do manually from the play store. Today I got impatient, half way through setting up I said screw it, restored everything that wasn't in red. And somehow, I permanently broke swiftkey tablet. It wouldn't load language packs anymore, so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now it says network error constantly and refuses to download the app. Do I need to wipe and start over or is this fixable? Thanks

Fix for the SwiftKey problem
Hi,
Try to uninstall the software the manual way.
Delete every folder of SwiftKey.
After that go to System properties / keyboard/kanguage and activate standard keyboard. (android default)
Reboot your device.
Install Swiftkey the usual way (via Playstore)
Ok will do. Btw my original post is wrong, I came from cm, now on stock 4.3.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
May not be you.
Had the same problem with SwiftKey when I flashed 4.3.
Fresh install, or restored from TiBu, same problem downloading English package.
Due to other issues I went back to 4.2.2 for now.
Nah it was me, I had swiftkey working fine but being impatient I said screw it, restored everything not highlighted in red.
I just reinstalled the rom and did a factory reset, it's for the best, gotta be careful with tb, I know this from experience

Ok so you might be right. I was able to set up SwiftKey to work fine once but now even a full wipe of system didn't fix the issue. Something is messed up on their servers

I spent the last 3 years on an iphone so I'm a bit rusty as far as Android. The last time I rooted an Android, it had a regular sd card. Since this phone mounts its files as basically a virtual sdcard, I'm wondering if flashing a rom will wipe all that data as well. In other words, should I back everything up first. Maybe that's a dumb question, I should back up no matter what....but I'm still curious.
Thanks!
Hi jedthehumanoid,
Your thread was moved from the development section to Q&A. Please do not post questions in the development section in future. I have also edited your post removing the first paragraph which asks for a "best" ROM. There is no best ROM/Kernel, head over to the development section and try them out to see which "best" suits you.

Wiping data/factory reset (which is what is required when flashing roms) will not erase your sd card contents. In other words, pictures, downloads, and stuff like that will remain. But you should always do a nandroid backup of your system so you can return to a working state should something get borked. Your apps will get erased. Consider using the Titanium Backup app to backup those.
Do not push this button because that WILL delete your SD card contents. Simply swipe the slider to wipe data/factory reset.

Okay, so here's a quick recent ROM history of my G2 (VS980).
I was on SlimKat for a little while, then switched to build 2014/07/09 of CyanogenMod, and just now I updated CM to build 2014/07/16.
So I backed up my ROM and apps and whatnot in TWRP, then did the default wipe, then flashed the latest CM nightly + Gapps. When I rebooted into the ROM, everything was still there. All of my apps were still there. My processor settings were still there. My lockscreen was still there. It was as if I never wiped then flashed a new ROM.
I went into the settings and it says that it's still on build 2014/07/09.
So can somebody tell me what's going on?
(Here's a picture of TWRP after I flashed the ROM + Gapps. Sorry for the crappy quality. I had to take it with my 3DS camera, since that's the only other camera I had lying around.)
(TWRP version 2.6.3.3)

Alright, I'll try that. I've never had to do this before though, so just a bit confused. What does it even do anyways?
It basically runs commands with out actually changing anything so people who theme twrp can make sure the theme works 100%. I've checked it by mistake more than once when setting up recovery.
*Edit its actually under "settings". Its the last box on the list, on 2.7.0.0 anyway. I checked it just to test and get the same message as you. I hope this fixes the problem.

I found it in v2.6.3.3, so it's all good. Thanks for the help, and I'll see if this fixes my problem.
EDIT: It did.
