[Q] vrtheme-backup - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the international version of the galaxy s3, and i found the vrtheme-backup folder and it is 255mb, i was wondering if i can delete it cause it takes alot of space up? if i delete this will it effect my phone, i am using NightStorm 3.4 and i am running 4.1.2

It's fine to delete. It's just an auto backup made when you flash a vrtheme zip.

Boot up sounds not working/ ripple effect for 4.2.2?

Hi guys.
Need some help, using root explorer pro I have put an mp3 file into store/media/ui named 'PowerOn.ogg'
However it doesn't play when I start my phone up !
I had this problem before and I fixed it (somehow) but I cannot remember exactly what I did, now since flashing a new ROM I encountered the problem again.
What can I do? thanks.
I am running Omega v6 with whatever Kernel came with it.
WHile I am here also, is there anyway to get the lockscreen off Jellybean 4.1.2 onto Jellybean 4.2.2 that I am currently running?
I miss my ripple effect

Problem with stock SMS app after updating to jelly bean in the razr HD

Hi, guys !
Yesterday I updated my razr Hd to jelly bean by OTA. Everything gone fine, but this morning, when I tried to use SMS, I saw that the stock app were gone!
I tried to reinstall it by the native apk (my phone is rooted) but it doesn't install saying that it was not possible.
Then I installed the Go SMS Pro app to see what would hapen: it worked like a charm! All my old SMS were there and was fully operating.
I tried once more to install the stock apk, but had the same error...
Anyone knows what may be happening? What can I do?
This go SMS pro is very heavy, I don't like and want my stock app back!

if your phone is rooted, try placing the native apk in system/app

Have you made a backup before flashing?

Try flashing Cm10.1 MMS apk
Try flashing the Cm10.1 MMS Apk. Just search it in the forums. Download the zip. Reboot into recovery. And install zip from sd. Its very similar to the stock messaging but with a couple extra features. If that doesn't work and you really, really need to have your stock MMS back, do a titanium backup of all apps and data then factory reset. Or just flash a custom ROM.

Is it OK to delete /o folder

Hi guys, I've just installed slimbean 5 on my galaxy s3. I took all my photos and stuff I needed before install. my question is, is it OK to delete the /o folder from my phone as it seems to take up most my storage. I think its all the files from my last ROM, or do I need to keep this folder thanks.

Hopefully that explains it but to summarise, that is where your new sdcard is. You can only delete it if you go back to 4.1

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit
Looks good but ill wait for the update maybe they put it in there to move apps to ext sd.

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

No, the CSC is only to help Samsung it doesn't do us any good. Keep away from XSA though as we (Aussie) have the bottom dock locked.
The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.

Sd internal memory full. Some questions...

Hi, i'm struggling about an error i get during installation apps on my phone in signature. I receive the message that the space in memory phone is full.
When i have freed space (about 200Mb) on my phone i have not received the message anymore.
But checking the folders in my phone folders i found a directory in Dcim\.thumbnails that contains many only files .jpg (over 2Gb) despite i setted in phone that video and photo made by camera-phone must be saved in external sd.
Further usually i use Dolphin browser and my question is: can i modify my directory output for downloaded files? Do not think so!
Can you help me?

The thumbnails are like cache. They are cache for the pictures. U can clear them. Just tat ur gallery will load slower the next time u open it as it has to download the 'cache' for the pictures again. All browsers shld have directories to where they will be downloaded i think.

Thank you for your early reply!
If i can obtain a faster load when i open the Gallery i would leave it so now..
For the download folder in my Dolphin browser there's not the function to modify the folder.
If i try to go in tab Manage file in Download by browser i can only entry in different directories than default directory but the new directory has not modified

You are right! Infact the file has been downloaded in external sd. Not being the possibility to insert a directory path i thought i couldn't modify.
To free the space again i noticed my Aura Sygic navigator with over 1Gb of data map saved in internal sd.
It would be useful if i can take these data in external sd.
However i didn't find anything in Sygic settings for change of position. .

But in S3 wasn't there this function? Hasn't it been already installed into O.S.?
In other case will not i have problem with Navigator when i move data in external sd card?
Anyway the biggest amount of data concerns the cache for pics that i mentioned some post up! It's about 2,5Gb
If i cancel all pics in cache will be they saved in internal sd again?
What is the purpose of this cache over to load faster Gallery's pics?

I did encounter a similar problem with thumbnail caches. In that DCIM/thumbnails folder there were 2 files taking up around 2.5 GB each. They had the name .thumbdata3 I think. I deleted them but android didn't recognise that I had deleted them, although I could clearly see that the files weren't present anymore. I searched around on forums but found no solution but to factory reset. To prevent those .thumbdata files from forming again I think the solution was to create a folder name with the same name as the file so that it wouldn't form again. Weird

They are thumbnails which are the pic showing the preview. If u get it. Like in YouTube, when u upload a video, u have to choose a thumbnail for ur video. Which shows on the video icon before the viewer watches it. Its basically a preview.

What do you mean when you say that Android didn't recognise that you deleted files?
@JellyYogurt
It would be optimal at least if we can move these cache files in external sd...to avoid a risk about factory reset.
For about map of navigator a displacement to extsd would be good too..

Surfing on the web you find many guides about both ways ( deleting thumbnails and moving data map on extsd ) to free space in internal sd. However it's advisable to follow precises guides to prevent errors when you start the navigator or simply only cancel the .thumbnails folder.
