a tryed flash anythink, but it can`t find any media on my sd.
try to look for if there is a ".nomedia" file on our sdcard root or in your media folders? If so just delete it.
thanks that helped
If you flashed a custom ROM, and you havent wiped the cache and dalvic, wipe it. I had the same problem when I 1st flashed to blackhawk.

Hello All,
As I'm a noob I can’t post in the main ROM thread for this ROM
I'm really tempted to install this as it looks dam good.
I'm in work so I can’t read all 55 pages.
It says on the ROM download page be on any Gingerbread stock ROM I’m currently on Cyanogenmod 7.2 will this be a problem?
Looking on the patches link I think the only one relivant to me is the Theme what does this do and is it a must? Also it says mount system before flash.. How do you do this?
I’ve read the last few pages and a few people say it takes a lot of internal memory and to remove the app details from the local fold is it really safe to do this are they just duplicates and not required and are there any I should leave alone?
Sorry if these are already answered on the ROM thread but I’m in wo9rk for the next 10 hours and my boss won’t let me read them all, he thinks I should be working!
Cheers
ACD
you can mount system by going to the "mounts and storage" option in cwm menu.. then selecting "mount /system"
and there is no problem with the internal memory here.. all you have to do is select "move and rebuild" option in a2sdgui after checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext"
have been using this ROM for long time, its perfect
Cheers for the speedy reply much appreciated.
I'm still very new to this.. Where is a2sdgui and dalvik cache in sd-ext
Will I be ok installing over the CM7.2 I am currently running?
What is the theme and is it required?
whatever ROM you may be, once you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache (all of which wil be done before installing ROM) there wont be any problem...
but I always install a new ROM from fresh stock ROM which is advisable as the seniors in XDA tell
a2sdgui would appear after you have successfully installed the ROM and it appears as a Application in app drawer..
For theme you would find the patch in ICS by ahmed thread itself..
read all the instructions carefully and follow it step by step so that you could do it correctly..
Ok I think I understand.
This is what I think I need to do.
Download the ROM file and the theme file place them both on the SD card.
Boot into recovery
wipe data/factory reset, wipre battery stats, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
Install the main ROM
Factory reset
Mount system
Install Theme
select "move and rebuild" option in a2sdgui after checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext"
Reboot
Is this right?
They only thing in not 100% is the checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext"
this would be the correct order :
Download the ROM file and the theme file place them both on the SD card.
Boot into recovery
Mount system
wipe data/factory reset, wipre battery stats, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
Install the main ROM
wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition
Install Theme (reboot and enter the ROM, go to CWM manager, then select flash update and choose the downloaded theme patch, it wil reboot and you can see the new theme once it is rebooted)
select "move and rebuild" option in a2sdgui after checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext" (it will automatically reboot once you press move and rebuild)
Dont forget delete apps in data/local in your internal memory using root explorer.....

I thought you didn't need to delete them from local/app if you select "move and rebuild" option in a2sdgui after checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext" (it will automatically reboot once you press move and rebuild)

How do i see the phone memory? I only see sd card
Polite Bump
Can someone please help me? I've installed this rom it looks good I just need to stop the low storage message every 2 mins.. How do I clear data/local I'm guessing its on the internal memory but using the built in file explorer (ES File explorer) I can only see the SD card? please help
I’ve sorted it.
If anyone else has this problem and finds this thread this is how I did it.
Open ES File explorer
Settings
Enable up to Root
Enable Root Explorer
Exit settings
Press the up icon and it will take you to the phone memory
I hope this helps someone
once the theme has been installed are you meant to go back and unmount the system

When I flash with Odin it does not wipe any my files.?? I can install any rom with out no files being wiped! What causing this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
You're not doing a data/factory reset before you flash the ROM.
You mean files on your internal Sdcard? Odin doesn't do that. It resets you back to stock ROM.

back when I made some roms for the BH2 some were like that. It has to do with that is being flashed. technically your data partition does not need to be touched when using odin and it just does system kernel and recovery, there is more to it then that but odin basically acts sort of like an update.zip file if /data isnt getting written then you files will still be there.
Does data factory wipe internal files?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Be more specific. Are talking about your internal SD or other partitions like /data or /cache or /dbdatabase?
What specifically are you trying to wipe and why so that we can better help you fix this.
In some roms it says it will possibility of erasing internal SD. But In recovery and I do wipe date and cache and delvik and flash a new rom. The old files from the last rom still on my internal SD

their supposed to be there...
Wiping data and cache and dalvik only clears out the previous ROM and removes your apps, it doesn't remove anything from your internal/external sd.
are you TRYING to remove stuff from internal/external?
i have installed RootBox v1.5 but when i try to play music by walkman, it can not play, and i tried to es file explorer, it can not recognize my external_sd.....any1 help?
external sd
In es file explorer, make sure you have given root permissions and pressed 'up to root', your external SD is under mnt/emmc
This is on all AOKP ROMs.
No idea why it isn't finding your music though.
If you already knew this, your card might be corrupted.
i have tried but did not work for me, anyway thank you

Hey, nightfury, thanx for the quick reply.
I've already formated my sd card...
The folders that I was talking about, are in the phone itself, and not on the sd card.
I was told that reparation the phone in odin, basically does what I want, but I'm afraid to brick it...

Reset flash counter with Triangle Away if you want/need to assuming you still have root. In CWRecovery format cache, data, system (no need to worry about formatting internal SD card as you've already done it). Odin flash stock rom of your choice. Done.
Hello,
I have installed this rom cm-11-20140311-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat on my Xperia U, everything is ok but I have a strange problem.
I tried to delete all data from the internal storage but it doesn't work. It looks like is working but then after reboot all my image and my contacts are still there. I just want a clean install. Anyone can help me? I also tried to format sdcard0 through recovery but it says that "can't format sdcard0". Have I missed something?
Thank you
Wipe everything during flash, easy

No need to wipe sdcard (that's where the pics etc are)
Contacts are in /data
Use wipe data/factory reset option in recovery.
All app data will be lost. Restored to factory state. (Installed rom will remain)
