I noticed lately after flashing a new ROM I get duplicates of all the ringtones. I did a full wipe. I checked system/media and the are no duplicate files. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks

On my Galaxy S3 I've run into a similar issue but here's what's REALLY weird... I manually pushed some Nexus 4 ringtones to system media MANY ROM flashes ago. I've even flashed back to stock twice (not due to this issue) and flashed a bunch of different ROM's and my ringtones have STUCK through it all! I've fully wiped, formatted my internal SD card and everything and they STILL STICK. The suggestion the prior poster made to clear data/cache for media storage helped to reduce the number of duplicates I have but I STILL have them. I don't get how flashing back to stock which, by default, wipes the internal SD did NOT clear out these ringtones.

Hi All
Is there a way to "format" your internal memory so that I can start fresh? When i load a new rom all files are still there.
Thank you
Llewellyn
Got the tab a few weeks back and after a bit of playing around I did a factory reset in settings / security.
When it rebooted I lost everything, folders, apps, pics etc. It was like I just took it out if the box.
I was a bit surprised because I have used the wipe data/factory reset function in cwm recovery a thousand times before on other android devices but SD card files always remained.
So try from settings.

I have noticed that doing a factory reset from a stock unrooted rom results in a clean format, while doing so from a rooted rom will reset the rom and still keep all files that are on the sd. I am not sure why it's like this, but that was learned from personal experience.

I had to return my Samsung for repair before I could root it. As posted above the factory reset will do the trick for you. I would guess if you root or rom your tablet it would not remove these as well. Not sure about that though.
Questions go in the Q&A section

i have the same problem on my GTP1000, restock not working, cutom rom not working, i try so many way but no success
my internal memori is Read Only, any body can help?
Story:
First a factory reset from the phone.
I have wiped all, battery stats, user files, caches and Dalvik cache, all you can wipe from Clockwork.
Then I formated everything that you can format in Clockwork.
After this I flashed original firmware (unbranded version though) from Odin.
I got rid of the problems I had except one.
Every time I reboot the phone warns that I lost connection for roaming, until I start internet.
Only I have roaming disabled in settings.
Also there was STILL files left in the phone, the folder and files accepted via bluetooth on internal sd card.
I don't know if there's anything else left but these files showed up in Gallery.
How can this be after I reset, wiped and formatted everything? Makes no sense to me.
I really have no idea what to do.
Cant find anything similar in threads to find sollutions from.
And it seems to be pointless to wipe and reformat yet another time.
Any tips at all to get me started would be really great!
You have to manually delete everything. Clockwork does not delete storage files.

I know, I meant the system reset, wipe and formats.
But even in CW there is options to format system amongst other tings, that should have done it I think?

Hello I'm new in this.
I just installed a custom rom CM9 nightly. When a new version or revision of that MOD come out, what is the procedure to update without loosing all my apps and settings?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Download the new nightly, put it on your external or internal SD card, boot into CWRecovery, install zip from SD card, either choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from internal SD card, navigate to the folder where you have the new nightly, choose the file, yes to install it, let it install, reboot the phone. Done. Some people like to clear cache & Dalvik but this isn't an absolute necessity.
Or get Titanium Backup! You'll be able to restore all apps and setting if something went wrong during the update.
During CM9 update /data is safe.
Thank you Guys. I'll practice it.
My backup pro ia also an good backup app for backing up all apps. data,sms, contacts etc..
also check dis out..

Just do not restore the system data (essentially anything with red writing)

Data Connect bug?
I have the latest cm9 nightly rom running on my original sensation, and I am having an issue with my data connection where most apps - besides browsers - cannot connect to the internet via my data connection. Is this a known error?
This has happened with a different cm9 rom too so it may be an issue unrelated to the rom. Prior to that I was running stock and was having no issues.
If this issue is unknown I will post more details/specs on my phone.
Thanks
Edit: I see this is in the SG2 Thread. I would delete, but can't find the delete button. My apologies.
hello, recently every few day in my gallery, the phone decides to duplicate every picture and video but as a corrupt file, which is unusable.
any ideas why this is happening?
the only way to solve it so far is to keep unmounting and mounting the sd card to get them to disapear again.
thanks in advance

U can also wipe cache and dalvik cache through recovery ( and no this won't delete ur data too )

Sorry about that.
-Goto your picture folders using a file manager, enable hidden folders
-delete .thumbnails folder, everyone of them, even in sub-folders
-Goto Settings - Apps -All - Media storage, clear data.
-Reboot phone to recovery
-wipe cache
-reboot phone.
Note:
-always try to properly unmount/safely remove your phone, after connecting to pc, when necessary.
-You can also scan your external SD for errors in your Pc.

I don't have hidden folders with miniatures, but when I reboot the device, it keeps duplicating the files. If I clear the media storage app and reboot, gallery shows the right files, no duplicates. But if I reboot again and don't clear media storage, when the system starts I will have duplicate media files, so it's not a permanent fix. Is there another way that I could solve this?
I'm using RootBox 1.8 with Siyah 4.1.4.

For real though what's going on. Whether I use ES file explorer or root explorer, Even TWRP's built in file manager. The first two mentioned will delete the file and say "File Successfully Deleted" and the Storage for Internal/External (which ever it's located in) Reflects the correct change as if it was actually deleted. Yet once you back out of the folder the storage changes right back and I go back in the folder and the file is back...
Another example is moving files,
Just a few minutes ago I downloaded the Latest BeanStalk. I proceeded to move it to my External SD Card. And I deleted several files as well(Several Movies and a Nandroid), I then reboot to TWRP. I get ready to do a backup and notice that the damn storage sizes are back to the same sizes they were before I downloaded the ROM and deleted files. And the ROM is gone, not on Internal where it was downloaded to and moved from. Nor in the External Storage in the folder I moved it to.
Doesn't matter if I delete 17kb or 25GB the storage goes right back to what it was. And what ever files are there no matter if I delete/move/alter. It all goes back to identically the same...
Another odd thing, I made a Nandroid to my internal SD and once I booted back into the system it was gone. Even though it said backup successful. And before rebooting I checked the restore tab and the backup was there
What in the hell could cause that?

Did you update ES File Manager? One of the updates turned on the recycle bin by default, so a bunch of stuff, and space, started appearing (stuff I'd deleted) and depleting (space) until I deselected that option from settings.
Worth a shot.

Well that sucks.
Might be time for a full wipe and restoration of your rom of choice.
I'm unclear if killing the internal USB storage is a good idea, but at least the default wipe in recovery (system, data, dalvik) makes sense, though you may end up having to do everything.

Everytime that I switch ROM's( with the exception to when I am upgrading a build number from the same ROM) I always go to Advanced and check Cache, System, Dalvik Cache .... I then proceed to back up one menu and swipe the "Factory Reset" Wipe option built into TWRP.
I can't even make Nandroids at this point, they just Disappear after I Reboot. So I went side door on this pesky little bastard. And brought in my OTG and 64GB Thumb Drive. And these Nandroids are sticking. Although the current ROM I am running atm (BeanStalk) isn't recognizing OTG inputs. As it's built off of CyanogenMod, and this is one of the known bugs ATM.
Anywasy One of the Kind fellows on the International N3 forum notified me of a certain Build.prop edit that may tackle this issue. So off I go

OK, this sounds bloody awful.
I am way unfamiliar with AOSP roms (I have clean rom on my Nexus 7 2013, however, so I get the simplicity of it), just isn't my cup of tea for this phone.
I am wondering if you switching between the 2 platforms hasn't caused some issues. I've wondered this before with other major issues, different from this but similar movement (AOSP to TouchWiz KitKat and back).
I'd like to see some definitive input on properly moving from one to the other.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I've found the culprit and its Permissions. Going to the AOSP ROM which was a KitKat ROM set the Permissions on my SD Card to read only. And I don't have the "authority" to change the permissions back.
I've tried editing the platform.xml to no avail. It's starting to get pretty damn frustrating. Even now when I go back to 4.3 ROM's following a clean wipe(dalvik, system, cache... Then factory reset) my permissions remain the same.
I have been having the same problem. I decided to order a new sd card and change my buildprop using ROM Toolbox Pro. I modiified "ro.securestorage.support" from "true" to "false". I will be receiving my new card either today or tommorow. I have had some bad luck with SanDisk and I am going to try lexar. I'm really considering reformatting back to the tried and true FAT32.

I was having similar issues for awhile, not sure if this is what fixed it or if it was something I did unintentionally but here's what I think may have worked: flashed my modem with MI3 once without auto reset on odin and then again with it then I changed my permissions on my external storage with root file explorer, i went into system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and added <group gid="media_rw" /> under the write_external_storage. I wasn't sure if that was the issue so for good measure I used triangle away and reset the flash counter, id been flashing a lot so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. idk. anyways, I haven't had the problem since. aside from APNs, still cant get custom apns to stick for some reason.
