Hello there.
Running Samsung Galaxy S III with CyanogenMod 10.
One day I made a backup of my phone via ClockWorkMod like every good boy should, and updated to CyanogenMod 10.1
After a few minutes I realized I didn't exactly what 10.1 just yet, and wanted to switch back to 10.
So I went to ClockWorkMod and restored my backup.
Now in my folder, I have all of the normal folders in the /sdcard/ directory, but I also have a 0 folder (which I found is a feature in 4.2.1 to allow for multiple users or something of that sort?).
Basically I want to safely remove the "0" folder, but merage all of the goodies in it with the stuff in my /sdcard/ folder, so it will be back to the way it was before I got 10.2/4.2.1 and just have all of my stuff on my /sdcard/ area.
How should I go about doing this?
Thank you!
Just use root explorer (what I used and know it works) or another file manager, then select all files, click move, then move upto the /mnt/sdcard/ folder and paste it there

This is a question for Zach, but as a new user I did not have access to his thread. First, congratulations on developing a great ROM. You do great work, I love XTRSense 5.01. However, I have come across two small glitches, both related to your GScript app.
After running the Apps2SD script, all of the other scripts disappear. There is a note to find them on the SD card, but I haven't been able to find any scripts there. I specifically want to install the battery life script. Is there a way to recover access to the scripts?
Second, I accidentally ran the script that deleted HTC Teeter. Is there any way to get it back short of reinstalling the ROM?
Thanks in advance ...

Hi! Just to note, I'm not currently running xtrSENSE or xtrROM, but I have quite a lot in the past and probably will again someday, so I thought I'd answer what I can.
1. I don't know what's going on with scripts disappearing, are you sure you actually added them to GScript's list of available scripts? When you load GScript, initially it's blank, and you have to tell it to load each script individually. Make sure the checkbox for run as root is checked for each one. Then the first time you run one from the main GScript screen, it'll prompt you for SU access. Sorry if I'm including info you already know, just making this answer friendly for anyone who happens to find this thread. There should be a folder called gscript on the SD card.
Note: Different folder listing programs list files and folders in different sorting orders. Linux is case sensitive so you can have both a folder named gscripts and one called GScripts (only the first should exist, I'm just using it as example). What I'm getting at is that some programs list all the files and folders with starting with the lower-case letters first, and then the upper-case ones after, so if you look for the folder gscript, make sure and search everywhere in the listing.
Also, if you must, you can open the ROM zip file on your computer and look in the sdcard folder in it and you'll see the gscript folder there with all the scripts inside. Just copy the gscript folder to your SD card if they got deleted somehow.
2. Same as the last suggestion, you can open the ROM zip file on your computer and in the system\app folder there you'll find "teeter.apk". You can use Root Explorer off the Android Market to put that back in system\app, or you could just install it from your file manager (Astro, File Manager...) for it to reside in normal user memory.
Partial Success
"Also, if you must, you can open the ROM zip file on your computer and look in the sdcard folder in it and you'll see the gscript folder there with all the scripts inside. Just copy the gscript folder to your SD card if they got deleted somehow."
This worked perfectly. The GScript folder on the SD card was empty. Not anymore, and the scripts work fine.

I put teeter.apk on the SD card, but my attempts to intall it with ES File Manager failed. Maybe related to Apps2SD?

You don't want it on the SD card. You need to navigate to /system/app in internal storage on the ROM. Apps2sd moves third party apps that you install from the market to the SD card, but does not move the internal apps in /system/app.
You may need to restart after you pop that .apk back in /system/app to get it back in your app drawer.
Hi all,
I now have a folder on my Galaxy S3 after installing Wanam Lite called '0'. All the stuff that was in the root of my sdcard folder is now in the '0' folder. The only trouble is when I sync things from my computer like music my media player does not recognise the music in the '0' folder and syncs the songs all over again.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
the android 4.2 possesses "MultiUser" although mainly for tablets , but still , it's in the nature.
that's why you have folder "0"
but sadly , don't know how to solve your problem. maybe manually do so would be an idea ?
Thanks for the quick reply.
I was messing with a 4.2.1 AOKP ROM and I am guessing that is where it came from!
I'm doing a full wipe and installing from the external SD to see if I can get it back to normal. I'll report back in case anybody has the same problem in the future.
Thanks!
Sam Tab 2, 10.1 GT-P5113, CM 10.1
Rooted and good to go, got CM 10.1 on it flawlessly. I use Ubuntu on my laptop as dualboot, and wanted to try it out on my tab. I got the files to the "media" portion of the device "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM and made a folder "ubuntu" there. Then came the long line of finding out how to move the files to "/", got them over by using Total Commander (as told by android police)with assist from CM File Manager. In trying to move the .img over to the /ubuntu folder, the device restarted and now "/ubuntu" doesn't exsist.. The device won't let me switch "/" to read-write unless I use Total Commander (or some other method I'm not aware of yet", so here is my question..
How can I move the files from "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/ubuntu/*.*" to /ubuntu/*.*" and keeping the folder there without it rebooting and deleting the folder? I read an article at galaxytabshacks and they said to move the files there.. Any help you guys/gals know would be awesome!

The folder labeled "root" , I enabled Root Explorer in File Browser. Browsed to "root" folder and still no files are visible. Says 0 bytes/files in properties. Other folders eg... \data and system I can view and modify the files. Just nothing visible in root. Is there really noting in there?
This is my first time rooting so don't scold me if I missed something here. Yes I did a quick search and nothing immediately came up directly related to this.

What is it you're trying to do though? That folder on my phone is also empty even with " show hidden files" enabled.
Maybe confusing what's called the "root" of the SD card for an actual folder that's there labeled root?;

My S4 isn't rooted, but like Mistertac said I've never seen anything in the "root" folder on any device. That goes back to the Samsung Epic and through the Galaxy Nexus I guess.
Just trying to view files. Nothing special. Thought the phone being un-rooted was always the reason the ROOT folder showed no files, as in they were hidden. I had always thought that the ROOT folder was like the WINDOWS folder on your comp. The source of the Android OS. ?

The root of our SD cards is just the main storage area that pops up when you say view the contents of it.... Then from there are all the folders. In this case that "root" folder we were talking about earlier is just a folder, similar to the " download" folder.. Both folders are seen from the root of said SD card.
I actually don't know much about the folder you mentioned, I know it's always been empty for me. Not sure why it's there though, I'm sure someone on here would know

/root is empty for a stock ROM. There's nothing that normally stores any data there.
Edit: it's there because it's the home directory for the root user.
Hello,
Today I updated one of my friends phone to Android 4.3 from Android 4.1.2. I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. The problem is, all images, songs, files, everything is gone. The strange thing is that storage is used by more than 4 GB (the same use before losing data). When I go to install ZIP from the recovery, there is a 0 folder inside SD Card, however, I cannot access it normally using a file manager, not even using ES file manager or root explorer.
Any ideas?
Note: Better say, file managers can only go to sdcard/0 which has empty folders. How to go to sdcard?
