hi guys.
sorry im posting this here and not in the official thread but because im new i cant post there.
i have a BIG problem. yesterday i had a problem with files on my DCIM library on my device storage. i could see them with the built in file explorer but when i connected the device to my pc - the files wasnt there!
i looked for a solution and when i didnt found one i tried upgraing my ron to the last one available (10.1-20130107-NIGHTLY-I9100). sincs then my gmail acount jas been erased on the device! when i try to add it under "+add acount" i only have an option to add CORPORATE, EMAIL, FACEBOOK or SKYDRIVE - no GMAIL option.
what can i do? please help, all my contacts are on the gmail account :crying:
btw - the files issue didnt resolve itself and i found another issue. i tried to make a screenshot, the device took it (made the animation and sound) but couldnt find the file itself in the device storage.
after flashed rom, did you flashed latest gapps (20121212)? for gallery issue, did you clear data of gallery and media storage under setting-application? dont forget to reboot after clear data
thanks for the reply. yes, i just realized that the nighly update changed my android version from 4.1.2 to 4.2
im installing this now, hoping it will work.
will update after the install - thanks again :good:
update - ne gapps solved the problem - thanks!
omg we have an outbreak!
the cm10.1 noobs overcome the borders of their thread and will now spread across the whole forum...
...we are all doomed :fingers-crossed:
sry mate i dont really like bashing but sometimes there is no other way:
- people please READ the instructions in the op of the rom you are installing!
(not installing gaps is NOT a serious problem... its a standard procedure with every cm installation and mentioned in the instructions...)
- read some stickies about your device and android!
- do not play arround with nightlies if you dont know what you are doing!
(man this is every-day changing code far from stable)
its just a pitty to see the forum loosing quality every day because 90% of people having problems wich could be solved by reading the instructions of the OpeningPost of the threads...
sry again if i sound rude, it is nothing personal but i'm hating the idea how xda-developers looses his "developers" level
personaly i wish you all best and much fun learning here but please start with the theory, by reading, then jump in the deep waters, by flashing. :good:
regards and peace :angel:

About file issue exactly the same thing happened with me today, I lost all my images and videos from both the storage and can't see them in any file explorer or at PC
I don't know what to do I have changed several roms.
Must be a virus or something I don't really know what happened, will try to recover files.

anyone??????
For me this happens when I first boot up. It shows that there is no music in play music, and no pics in the gallery app. I usually just wait, and it fixes it self. Idk why this would work, but try using a file explorer (I us es file explorer) and playing a couple of songs through that. One time play music recognized my songs after doing that, but I don't know if it was because of that.

There's a setting somewhere in system settings that you can switch to use internal storage. I've never had a problem and with the os recognizing media with that checked. Requires a reboot though.
still not work buddy, please any other fix? :'(

Try to view your sd card from a computer or a file browser, look for sd card1 , sdcard2 .. if you have this its just because of the new
base through the cm10 system. It no longer uses EMMC as the path, easiest fixes are under settings-advanced-use internal storage or copy sd card1 into sdcard0 where the path is looking for music and pictures. That should fix it!! Try to reinstall cm10 if that didnt work, fresh wipe, and before your phone boots up the first time, pull the sd card out and let it boot completely then add the sd card back. GOOD LUCK

Im going to need some more info to better assist you then.
Of course you have the moto photon..
What kernel are you using? 1.3 should be the only one stable for a daily driver.
Try re-dowloading the rom from Jokersax.com and do a complete hard reset in CWM recovery.
Please verify you are using the jokersax recovery v3 NOT V4 .. v4 has a known issue when flashing gapps.
Try to do the hard reset 2x before doing any flashing. Hard reset all, clear the devlik cash as well 2x to avoid any issues.
At this point, going into mounts and storage you might want to go ahead and mount and format ALL the storage locations, pull the sd card out so it dosnt recieve a wipe. You may also want to remove your media from the sd card , format and only move back the DCIM picture folder for now.
Once your to that point, install cm10.. do not do anything else.. boot up and test the rom for boot, once you have boot, just go back into recovery and start flashing anything you need. i suggest the latest gapps, the cdma data fix, and mms fix 2 try this.. then re-boot and allow android to upgrade your fixes. once you have booted, go into the settings and choose the advanced-use internal.
Open voice dialer and say open APNS ( once opened it should be BLANK ) i know dont worrie, just hit your menue button and click return to deafault, then re-boot and your data connection, mms and pic mail all should be perfect. Add the sd card in and open gallery. give it time to refresh, mine took almost 2 minutes for pictures to load. If not i would use ( ROM TOOLBOX) or equivilent app that will allow you to browse your directorys with full access to make copys or rename items. Find the storage location and find the sdcard0 and sdcard1.. make a copy of the dcim folder in the sdcard1 that actually has the pictures there, and copy the folder to the other side as well so they are identical.. ICS doesnt look for EMMC anymore and is designed to have the two spaces for memory to support some apps..
Reboot after the copy and try to veiw pictures and music.. Apollo music is my favorite but seems to have some issues working well with google play music as well.. it seems if you run one dont run the other one unless you have closed the process out, I HAD ALOT OF FC issue without doing that each time.. Also use ROM MANAGER to run a fix permissions or do it inside the Recovery mode.
Verifiy some of this information for me and we can get this straightend out.. If you feel that ive helped or resolve the issue let me know!!

Also i forgot to mention to copy the music as well. I would do ALL the copy work from inside the phone not from a computer at this point knowing that the computer does not see the storage spaces correctly, ROM TOOLBOX PRO has given me the best results.. Also try NOT having internal storage selected first and see what shows up if anything. You can also keep the card out and take a picture to see what side your phone uses to view/save the photos and thats the place old pictures need to be as well to be viewed.. I know you might be frustrated at this point but take each step one by one and see what has changed and the results that came from the change.. i didnt do ANY build prop edits, any changes to the rom and have EVERYTHING running on my mypho.. (even videocam records for me on 3rd part app and mapping) PM me if you need links to downloads and if im in good coverage i can let you pull from my drop box privately if needed.. GOOD LUCK
I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.
The issues arised a little later.
1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.
2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.
3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.
There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:
FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.
Thanks. Peace Out.
i think you remove some part of them
try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,
ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not
App List
Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)

Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.
Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.
Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk
try this...

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:
Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide
Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.
Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
Calendar Restored !!!
The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.

Hello guys!
Before you say anything, yes, I am a noob.
So, here's the thing.
I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy I9070 (aka S Advance) and everything went perfectly until I found out that I don't know how to do several stuff. So, my questions are:
1) How to flash Cyanogenmod and Gapps, because I have several apps that help me throught the day (like bank account app) which I can not found on internet since it's croatian bank? I really need Google Play Store.
2) I have no Iinternet connection what so ever. I can only go on Internet if I am connected to wireless network. Mobile phone just does not "read" (I don't know how to express myself right now) Internet connection throught my SIM card like it used to.
3) Is vibration bug fixed? It really IS ANNOYING!
Sorry if I opened thread that is similar to others, but I'm in a big mess and got no time to search forum to find anwsers. I hope you'll help me ASAP, I appriciate every reply and every shot. Thank you all.
Kind Regrads, Niko.

Since you're using CM10.1 these would be the gapps you'll need to get you rolling: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Yup put it on your sd card and head on over to recovery, Not sure what button combinations take you there for your device, But if those are the ones you said then yea, Then select the zip and flash it, Reboot, And enjoy.
Thanks m8, I'll try that now.

Hi all
A couple a weeks ago i've downloaded a rom ported from Note3 to W200s @ needrom.com [W200S_N3.zip].
It seemed to be a nice one, until i tested the Torch app. As i opened the app and on the flashlight, turned the back of the phone to me, i watched clearly the flashlight dimmed before my eyes.
At first i didn't care much about it, just thought that when i flashed my twrp backup it would all back to normal...
But no... The flashlight is dimmed since then, despite all my attemps....
Here you so, some of my fails
- Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
- Flashed all the W200S ROMs available - Still dimmed
- Edit the scatter-file to include hidden partitions
misc.img, pro_info, seccfg, expdb, protect_f, protect_s
Got a hold at another w200s, backup those partitions and flashed them all... Still dimmed
Right now, i'm running out of ideas...
But, before i send my phone to replace the flashlight LED, i'm creating this thread as my last hope...
I know there's other users out there that happend this, i saw their reports on the site...
However, the user who posted the ROM, deleted it. So the issue was silenced....
Plz, lets gather here and try to find a fix for this issue... if there is one...
Thanks
Admins:
I apologize if the thread isn't on the right place...
If possible, move it to the thread to its right spot, thanks

Hello
I have the same problem with the same ROM(W200S_N3.zip).
I have done the same things
-Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
-Flashed all the W200S ROM's available - Still dimmed
I have contacted with the site from which I have purchased the mobile but they only replied that I should try another programm for the flash. The only thing that I need is to find the specs of the flash ion order to find the same one and replace it.

after reading your post i've made some research and came up up with this:
Kevin TeslaCoil @ said:
stackoverflow.com
HTC has an alternative API that supports this, however it's only on HTC Sense devices, and as of Gingerbread they've changed the permissions so it's only for their Flashlight app, not third party ones (unless you use root).
But on 2.2 HTC devices you can use it by writing a string to /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness. This controls if the LED is on and how bright it is. For maximum brightness write "128\n", half brightness write "64\n". Easy to test from adb shell:
echo "128" > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
And finally turn it off by writing "0\n" there.
Click to expand...

So it seems to be possible to change the brightness of the flashled.
Of course this info is for a competely diferent device with yet another android version...
But i'm pretty that we should have a similar folder and file on our phones that can allow this... maybe where the flashlight app itself changed the settings...
I need your help to find out this file...
I'm using a root file explorer and still didn't find anything similar...
Lets try this one last time before throw our phones against some wall...

I have the same issue but mine doesn't work at all.
There's a /sys/class/flashlightdrv/kd_camera_flashlight and a /sys/devices/platform/kd_camera_flashlight.0 (which might actually be the same directory) but it doesn't have a brightness entry. I'm going to return my W200S for one where the flash works

CyanFox on my S2 has begun to crash a lot lately... Usually when I'm in an app (both Google and otherwise) and I press some button or something, the phone immediately reboots. And just now it was stuck in a reboot loop while connected to the charger. Any way to fix it?
Also, it sometimes have problems hanging up phonecalls. I either have to wait for the other part to hang up, or reboot the phone.

"Can't establish reliable connection to the server"-problem after flashing to Cyanfox
Hi there! I got this nasty problem and no idea how to solve it!
I flashed my SGS2 (I9100) to "CyanFox-2.0.2-20140228-NIGHTLY-i9100" and added some gapps to it (Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.4.4.build.9-20150404), but when I tried to open my Google account, it said "Can't establish reliable connection to the server".
I tried every solution that I found in this site, even the most reasonable - edited the "hosts" file with Total Commander with superuser rights granted. Even after factory reset, nothing happens. In fact, I noticed that my "hosts" file contains only one line - 127.0.0.1 localhost. Anyway, my phone stays invisible to Google and Samsung servers! (I even tried the "Find my phone" option on the Samsung site - couldn't find it!). At the same time I have perfect wi-fi and mobile connection - browsers, viber and skype work almost without lag. I still think my phone lacks something and this makes it fully invisible to servers.
Can somebody come up with some solution? It's really a brain-tingling puzzle!
Thanks in advance!

I flashed my SGS2 (I9100) to "CyanFox-2.0.2-20140228-NIGHTLY-i9100" and added some gapps to it (Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.4.4.build.9-20150404), but when I tried to open my Google account, it said "Can't establish reliable connection to the server".
I tried every solution that I found in this site, even the most reasonable - edited the "hosts" file with Total Commander with superuser rights granted. Even after factory reset, nothing happens. In fact, I noticed that my "hosts" file contains only one line - 127.0.0.1 localhost. Anyway, my phone stays invisible to Google and Samsung servers! (I even tried the "Find my phone" option on the Samsung site - couldn't find it!). At the same time I have perfect wi-fi and mobile connection - browsers, viber and skype work almost without lag. I still think my phone lacks something and this makes it fully invisible to servers.
Can somebody come up with some solution? It's really a brain-tingling puzzle!
Thanks in advance!

Could be gapps... Use smallest unless you changed partion size.sounds like some of Google framework is missing
Is Battery Life better on CM-11 then on Stock?

Thank you! But can you give me a link for appropriate gapps for this ROM, since the one given in the installation guide is no more active - it leads to an empty folder.

Thank you for your prompt reply! One last question:
Why neither of the compilations contain Google play store and Google play services? Is it forbidden to put them in a gapps file? I think I need them for my phone.

I thought they would be included... Find the minimum pack... With least in

I've been thinking of repartitioning my internal memory first, so I'd be able to install more extended version of gapps. What's your opinion?

Yea, it seams pretty straight-forward. I'm going to use these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/repartition-memory-s2-t3018749 - method2
Hopefully I'm not bricking my phone!
Fixed! Fixed! Fixed!
I finally made it and now I enjoy using a brand new SGS2!
Here is how I did it:
1. I did a internal memory repartitioning using the first method from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/repartition-memory-s2-t3018749
/The moment of removing the battery to reboot in recovery (step 4) was a bit disturbing, but all went on as it was supposed to, according to the instructions/
2. On "step 11" I installed the Cyanfox CM-11 KITKAT 4.4.2 Official ROM - the last nightly, which I downloaded from this link https://mega.co.nz/#!ZNY1lQiR!mbX_xL...pGlI6YDY2mDHJg
/The release looks very stable - after one week of running it, I had only one crash with automatic reboot after opening a youtube clip in fool screen using the Chrome browser/
3. I activated the developer options (tap 7 times on the build number in settings->about the phone) and in the developer options activated the root access for Apps and ADB. After that I installed the Total Commander application (downloaded the .apk file from the net) and granted it superuser rights.
4. This was the most difficult to me - to choose the right gapps compillation. I tried all the PA Gapps packages, but uniformly received the "error status 6" message. So I tried this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554406 - the MINIMAL edition from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53319258#post53319258
I finally had connection to the Google servers, only the google keyboard crashed!!! Luckily I had downloaded on the SD card a SWIFT keyboard - installed it and that was all I needed - with access to Google Play store my phone was back alive!
I hope posting my humble experience here would help another people having my problem to solve it and "resurrect" their SGS2s - it's a really great phone and I believe it has the capabilities to serve it's owners well for another year or two, or... who knows?
I'm sorry if giving all that links violates the rules of this forum in some way. I hope the moderators will excuse me and make this post right
Wish luck to all the adventurers who decide to change the OS of their a bit aging devices!
And a deep bow of respect to all the DEVELOPERS trying to make the ANDROID a living and always changing (most of the times improving) operating system!
