Does anyone have the images, wallpapers, movies (green hornet), etc that is comes with? I did a factory reset and cleared the SD and I guess that information was stored there. Let me know if someone has a link to zip or something of that sort. Thank you.

I have searched, without result, for an answer. I am hopeful someone here will be able to give some guidance.
A whle back, I took a screenshot of one of my homescreens, using shootme. Then uninstalled, as I learned how to do it using the SDK and adb. I now have an album within my gallery named screenshots. It contains the single screenshot I took with shootme. It is not located on my phone. I have wiped internal storage, flashed several ROMs since, and it still remains in my gallery.
After fresh install to any ROM, with or without wipe, it shows up. I have noticed that it will show up on ANY phone that I setup with my gmail credentials. I am assuming that this is stored somewhere on Google as part of a backup. I am frustrated, and have searched for how to change google backup settings, only to not find an answer.
Anybody have some insight as to how to remove this pesky pic?
Solved!!!
After some more digging around the interweb thingy, I found that it was Picasa Web Album that was storing that screenshot. I logged into my GMail account, then clicked on more, in the top left section of gmail, then clicked on photos. Sure enough there was my rogue screenshot!!! Clicked edit-> delete, and now it is gone from my vibrant!!!
what happened is when you install shoot me it creates a folder on your sdcard that it stores your screen shots in. when your phone 'wipes' to install a rom it wipes system data, not sdcard data so that folder is still on your sdcard and will continue to show up until you delete it.

It was Picasa Web, not the SD Card. Thanks for your input though.
Just realized I accidentally deleted a picture from the SD card on my Hero awhile ago. The card is quite big and has never been close to being full so I'm wondering if there is a deleted folder on the card or some way to recover the file?
As far as I know, only recovery programs as used by the police, government etc can recover deleted files. You can download loads off the internet, but they are designed to reconstruct the magnetic residue on hard discs, don't know if it will work on a flash drive. Won't hurt to try though.

This person doesnt appear to know what they are talking about, no offense.
Data recovery is possible (in theory) on all types of media. When a file is deleted, the space it occupied is marked as unused by the system. The file isn't actually "deleted" until something else has written over its space.
however, due to the random nature of writes to the disk, and given that you said "while" I presume there will have been many writes to the disk since, the chances of recovering the file fully are reduced.
recovery software: a good free one is http://www.piriform.com/recuva
http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/free-data-recovery-software.htm
Is a good piece commercial software, but the free 1gb trial should be enough to give it a try.
"reconstructing magnetic residue" is what "professional" data recovery companies might attempt I guess. sounds a little fishy to me though.
So you say I don't know what im talking about with recovery programs and the like, then point the op to 2 recovery programs. Recovery programs which, no doubt, will try to reconstruct the files from the left over magnetism of the old file.
Incidentally, I know when a file is "deleted" the memory sectors are merely market as unused, so new data can be written there, but still the only way of recovering them files is with a recovery program.
use "testdisk"
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
Actually there is no such folder exist on card which kept the deleted files or etc but don't worry just try a good third party data recovery software for the recovery of your data and files. Try Kernel for FAT and NTFS data recovery software for the recovery of your files.

Yes, You DON'T Know. And since you don' know please, don't give anyone "information". Police recovery software... BUNKO! we use the plain old software everyone else uses and there is no recovery of "left over magnetism" shXt ... Go play in your sandbox after mom changes your diaper, and let the adults do the helping here.
A good way to recover deleted files from HTC Hero android phone is to use HTC android data recovery program, here's a good one: HTC Android phone data recovery
The data recovery program recovers data from both HTC Hero phone internal memory and SD card. Recommend that you try it.

Hi Everyone,
Recently allot of random images popped up in my gallery, and i don't know how to get rid of them, because they point to a System folder. Here are some examples:
/System/etc/mrg_default_forms/ this is the common rood, followed by:
-MyGuide/MyGuideBoard/Initial/02/res/dreawable/
-ConciergeBoard/card_forms/birthday_noti_no_contact/res/drawable-xxxhdpi/
-QvoicePlus/sms/
Can anyone help me get rid of them without rooting my phone? it's not that i don't want to root it, but i don't want to lose the warranty.
If you need more information please let me know, i appreciate any ideas.
Daniel

Have you tried factory resetting and wiping internal storage? Those might be thumbnails or some app might have created this crap. Make a backup of ONLY those folders / pictures which do not lead to that path.

Dude,I was looking for an easy solution, it's like saying a game dies not work, well you can always reinstall Windows...
Dear guys,
I accidentially deleted around 70 GB of videos and photos on my Galaxy S6 128 GB (SM-G920F, Android 6.0.1, G920FXXU3DPDP). I was so stupid to try to move the camera folder instead of copying it to the computer and since the process was aborted it was gone from my phone and not on my computer. I'm missing a lot of family pictures and videos that were very very valuable for me.
My phone is rooted (odin) and the root works properly. I tried several recovery programs, some are working in general and are requesting supersuser rights (like phone paw android recovery) - but can't find any of the deleted images and videos. Others (like Wondershare Dr..Fon Android recovery) do not work properly (it gets superuser rights but in the last step before scanning the phone it tries to get (other?) super user rights that are not properly requested).
I should be gratefull for any kind of help. Please let me know if you need any additional information. It would be the biggest present to get back any of the many photos and videos I lost.
Best,
Sonstiger
Or does anybody have an idea where I could find help? The photos and videos are precious memories of my daughter and two holidays.
Thankfull for every help!
An addition: I wouldn't mind if the procedure to recover (part) of the photos / videos would break my phone.
you didn't have any back-up solution? try some photo recovery apps from play Store like: DiskDigger or DigDeep Image Recovery, i can recover almost all deleted photos but have no experience abt recover video
In the past I've had phenomenal success with Dumpster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster&hl=en
Of course I can't guarantee anything, as file deletion and recovery is a bit.... weird. However, with Dumpster I've been able to recover many photos on multiple occasions, even really old ones (months, maybe even a year for a few of them) I had forgotten I had deleted. I didn't even have it installed before deleting said photos either. That being said, since your photos/videos are freshly deleted, it may work out for you.
Good luck!
Thanks ubergeek77.
Unfortunately, Dumpster only recovers files that have been deleted after Dumpster has been installed. So it can't help in my case.
Any other ideas?
And there are some more promising tools for the PC. E.g. I tried Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android. It scans my phone (with superuser permission). But not a single photo / video of the ones that I deleted (70 GB) are found. What could be the problem here? Anybody out there who can help me and finds the time to reply?
Connect your phone to your Pc and try some recovery software like EaseUS..... (this is not a free software but you can install trial version).
hope it help.
Next time, if the transferring process is aborted , just undo and get back your file right from PC.
None of this tools found relevant photos or videos from the 70 GB i lost. I will now try to get an image of the data partition to recover the files on PC. Anybody can help me here?
I was now able to copy an image of the data partition on my computer -- using Photorec I could scan this partition for lost files. Unfortunately only undeleted or not relevant files were found. None of the files of the 70 GB deleted pictures and videos. But there have been tousands of files (from 4 MB each) extraced with the file extensions ".elf" and ".sqlite". I assume that these files are my lost photos and videos and that they, for any reason, cannot be assigned correctly .
This may be related to the file system ext4? Or the blocksize? Or any other reason related to the fact that these files were not deleted the standard way but while trying to move a to big folder to my PC.
What can I do here? I would be gratefull if any expert here being familiar with the ext4 filesystem or Android partititions could help me in any form. Please let me know if you need an additional information.
Looking forward to any reply. Thanks!

Very sorry! I totally misremembered what app I used. I just checked, and it was definitely DiskDigger, it works without having been installed first, and works even better with root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger
Sorry for the confusion!
The results I mentioned were with root, so that may be something to keep in mind.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if TWRP backups are 1:1, but you should research a way to make a complete raw filesystem backup of your device if DiskDigger doesn't work. The more you use this phone, the more you risk losing some of those photos. With a raw disk image, you could mount it in Linux and throw every recovery tool you can find at it.
Best of luck. If I run across anything that may help, I'll be sure to post it here.

so someone hacked my android, they watched me through camera and everything and when i do factory reset i think i cant delete all files because i still have some files in hidden files and i dont have recycling bin for images like before. i also find out he was addin some kind of codes on images and on calendar and other small system apps. so what should i do.
The same happened to me. Someone had full control over my phone, even in recovery mode (I had twrp). I unrooted it and instal stock rom, but I don't know man... Is there a way to be sure my phone is clean? How to check, is the spy app or something, still there or not?
