I've got a brand new Nexus 6p and I'm having a weird problem. Some days ago, in every folder of the device, appeared the same file named "_compactdisk_extended_attributes". I've done the hard reset for the third time but everytime, after a few hours, the same files appeared in every folder again.
Is there anyone else with the same problem?
Perhaps you have installed a new app that places this on scan of the sdcard?
If it keeps appearing it would appear that a app of some sort is putting it there.
I was thinking the same thing but i can't figure out which app could cause the files to appear. I've already tried 360 Security and CM Security but nothing.
That's the content of one of the files.
{"fbDirectorySizeCalculationStarttime":1207,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationTimestamp":1453756997,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationFilecount":2985,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationTimespent":36.306762985,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationSize":1353189702}
Is it possible that none else is having this problem?
I'm having the same problem just recently too. But I'm using a year old OnePlus One. I'll screenshot a list of my installed apps later if I'm free and see if we can isolate the app.
The files appeared on my old Nexus 6 too..maybe it's caused by the update of a system app..I didn't do any update since I've been using my new device..
Hello man, I've got this problem on my MOTO X. I noticed that this file always appears when playing Real Racing. Have you found a solution to this probrema? I already installed many ROMS and the problem persists.
I have the same problem on my Sony Xperia Z5 compact. Even made a complete hard-reset, with deleting everything from the internal storage. But the files appeared again.
I didn't find any solution, but this morning something strange happened: I was checking if the files were still there but they apparently disappeared. I found out that they're still in my phone but in form of hidden files. I think it's because of the system update I did this night, build MMB29Q and Android Security Patch Level: February 1st, 2016.

Same thing, files still there but hidden. I've been disabling apps one at a time to see which is the culprit, but like you said it could be one of the system files...
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 5. I have not installed any new apps so it had to be from something I already had installed.
"fbDirectorySizeCalculationStarttime":334,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationTimestamp":1453956217,"fbDirectorySizeCalculationFilecount":12766,

I deleted some out of one folder on my computer and did a sync to overwrite the folder on the Nexus 5 and so far the files have not come back yet. I'm not sure what it is but it does appear to be in pretty much every folder on my device.

Hello
I'm new to android, and basically new to this techie stuff. anyway, my cousin had installed cynogenmod 12.1 on my lenovo A6000, may be its for lenovo K-30T model. coz its showing model number "lenovo K-30T" in "about phone".
And despite the RAM being free for about 300MB, the phone lags.
I want a ROM which is faster. I have come across this OS http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/development/best-cm12-1-rom-lenovo-a6000-plus-withe-t3288805 . Please tell me if it's better and stable than the current one .
*screenshots
It's obviously cyanogen 12.1, so can I flash some files so that it may become the os I want on my phone? or I have to re do the flashing process? DO I have to roll back to kitkat in order to flash this OS?
If there is any other os, which has all in one good package, Pls suggest.
* fast OS
* I dont play games
* good battery backup
*good UI

Well if you want a good smooth UI with good battery backup. Try this MIUI ROM.
The UI with CM11 is not that great. But, in performance and battery, its definitely the best ROM for a6000. Here's the link for CM 11. You can surely try these customizations for CM11.
You can flash MIUI directly over your ROM after wiping system, data, dalvik, cache. But for CM11 you'll first have to flash stock KK, and then have to flash CM11, and ofcourse after a complete wipe.

Thanks a lot mate..
and in the CM11's link, in "AMPERE" screenshot, Its again showing "lenovo K30T" as model number. Now Im concerned about that here. I have same model number in my device information . For some reason, I think My cyanogen 12.1 is made for that particular reason and not for Lenovo A6000. Does it make any difference in terms of performance of the device?
PS. how do we post pictures in this forum? Im new to this whole thing Thanks in advance

Since Lenovo K-30 has same board as our a6000, so any rom working on K-30 would work on our devices too (yeah with a bit modifications). So, there's no problem in using ROMs showing device as K-30.
And, answer to the second question, you click on the 'paper clip' icon for attachments.
P.S. I too a hard time in the beginning to figure that out.:silly:

Bro, These are the screenshots of the memory status of my memory on board. Earlier before I had upgraded to lollipop update from lenovo, I had complete 8 GB as internal memory. but as soon as I had updated to that update, the size reduced, and then due to heavy lagging, I chose to root it and put 12.1 in it., then also after number of wipes and erases, still it's stuck at 4.69GB. I don't understand why complete 8GB is not being utilized.
Is there any way to unlock full potential? or did I do any wrong while flashing?
Thanks in advance

You did nothing wrong. What happened is that the data you had in your internal memory has been moved to some other folder and not actually wiped. This had happened to me a few times.
And, I actually has now forgotten what was its path. But, it was among these two for sure.
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/
OR
/data/media/0/
First copy contents of your internal memory on your sd card or pc. Then delete the contents of the above two directories, you'll get your internal memory freed. Then, you can copy back the contents.
And yeah, es file explorer is suggested for this job. Other root explorers will work too.

Okay, I have taken backup of /0/ .
and I tried going into the path you have said. But in my phone, the path only lasted like this.
"/mnt/shell"/(empty). no emulated folder
and same with the data folder in the root folder. there is no file or folder inside data folder.
Shall i delete these two folders? SHell and Data? just like that?

Use es file explorer for that. And first from its options, mount the partitions from Root explorer menu. Check all the partitions. Then you will be able to see the contents of /data/ and /shell/emulated/
Hey guys so last time I used it a few months ago this was how I got Samsung Gear VR working on my LG V20 rom. For those DEVs that would like to add this feature I thought we could all work together to get this on every device that is running 1440p screen just for quality reasons.
This is for devs only not a flash able zip.
Extract the contents and just copy and paste the info in the build prop.
Change Log
Version 1 - What has worked as of 4/4/17 on the LG V20 Ti-X Rom

Possible to slim it down (Apps)? To include 174Mb in the System is a bit much for that few Users who'd own a Gear VR. Maybe I'll be better if You provide it as flashable Zip. If You need help with that i could be Your Man!
BR and cool stuff btw!
De-odexing could be also a good Step besides pulling it from the System Image instead of dumping it from a running System. But just a suggestion....
Im about to compress those apps to see how much i can save but i need to finish installing a new os. If you want to make a zipable you can ill post it up and can givw u access to the google drive.
I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway:
Where do you copy the contents of the app-private folder
Are there any other instructions? I remember I had to get this to work on a rooted samsung and I thought there was suppose to be some service running for the gear vr software to kick off when the device is connected.

I will make a lovely flashable AROMA based ZIP this Weekend. I can also improve the Size a bit by using my optimized Compression methods. Think the Size isn't that important as standalone ZIP, but some Users have slow connections and bad Data Plans...
I don't own the Gear VR but things like that have to be supported! It's a step in the right direction (Android shouldn't be used to include OEM exclusive Features dear Samsung! Share them!)
BR
So I understand you copy it to app-private in data, but that doesnt give you the software. Does anyone. Have a zip with the required apks needed to actually launch the vr setup wizard?

200MB is not that much gain when most roms will have 500MB+ removed and the system portion would be un changed so free space would be sitting there to be taken up.

Oh so this has to be done before you even flash your phone, you can't add Gear VR functionality after your phone has already been flashed. Sorry I misunderstood.
It would be cool if this was a separate package that could be added to an existing phone with root access.
My way was just how to add ot to a none flashed rom if you throw these files in your system clear cache is should work also if you set the permissions correct

Would you still copy it to app-private in that situation? I tried that and it wiped the folders from the app-private, but did not install any of the applications.
Nougat 7.0 lg v20 sprint. Maybe I am better off installing your rom which will just have it working???
this is great news been trying to get this working on my S7 active ! tried boot.prop changes but no different
as its just software stopping it working, as hardware is pretty much identical ..
did try from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/port-gear-vr-software-to-android-device-t3540402
but couldnt get it to copy properly, so wouldnt work ..
once rooted, is it just a case of coping over, can this be done via say ES.Explorer ? ..
does this then enable the auto detection when pluging in ? and the touch pad and buttons too ? ..
This looks super interesting. I've got a V20 running AOSP & I'm going to play around with it after work

If you just copy and paste the folders inside the priv app folder think there's like 7 it will be just fine if you copy the priv app folder it might not merge and just replace. I had to factory reset for the apps to get all the correct permissions not sure why.

I keep getting told by support that the latest build is NMl64c. I still have not got it. * Edit- It's Out!
Didn't even know there was a new build yet. Assume it contains Sept security patches at a minimum? I've checked for updates today and haven't gotten anything... but maybe the new phones are shipping with this update already?
Nothing here yet, but I'm keeping fingers crossed. I'm really beginning to like this phone, shortcomings and all. When I pick up my Pixel XL now, it feels like a boat compared to the PH-1. I'm hoping that updates will help put this phone in the upper echelon.
I've had one PH-1 since Friday of last week and no update... Received another this morning and it's on the same build... So new phones aren't shipping with it I'd say
If only the camera wasn't so terrible... It'd be a perfect phone then... Imho

according to support, it has camera fix. She said it was pushed over the weekend, but I think she's mistaken.

Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out. Lets start with making sure you have the latest build. Please check if there are available updates as a new build became available (NMI64C) over the weekend.
Now where have we heard that "over the weekend" line before?

I put my Nexus 6P with all the accessories up on Swappa Monday.
It sold yesterday and I shipped it.
I guess I'm keeping the PH-1 as I now have no other phone.
I picked up some ABS this morning and plan to construct a custom case.
Since I can't buy one, I'll make one.
Still no sign of an update here.
