Hi,
Earlier today I installed CM10 on my phone and so far it's been absolutely fantastic! Very happy with it
One small problem I have is that I've downloaded some themes which go to storage/emulated/0/download (along with all of my downloads when I was on stock) - but I cannot access them? It says my download folder is empty - any ideas please?
Thanks

Thanks! I've just tried that using ES and couldn't find anything, so plugged it into my PC
Computer\GT-I9300\Internal storage\data\media does not exist
Computer\GT-I9300\Internal storage\Downloads is full of my downloads
So that looks kinda correct. However under settings, then Internal Storage, then Downloads... it's empty

it's not supposed to. your internal storage IS /data/media. and it won't work from the PC

Oh bugger. Tapatalk didn't save it this morning. I have to write it again!!!
Edit. OK I added it again and put in some screenshots too.

Thank you, I've followed the instructions for ES and found my files, I also have them in /sdcard/downloads
The problem is, if I go to downloads (or downloads via the storage menu) it just says "No downloads"
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong please?
Its not screwed.
Download app only records new downloads afaik? It wont pick up old ones that it didn't download itself.
Would need specific error logs from /cache/recovery to even start to troubleshoot recovery issues but its nothing to do with this anyway

Your downloaded files are sometimes stored in the "Files" folder. Once there, open the "Downloads" folder and it should be there
Emulated/0 is the "new" way to access the internal storage. It was added for an extra layer of permission protection. It stops apps misbehaving behind your back.

Go to the My Files folder. Click All. Click Download folder. There are all the files downloaded from emails.

Have you enabled the permissions for storage in app manager?.
Have you encrypted the folder?.
Have you tried developer settings and enabling root?.
I have no idea why you've changed from stock to a custom rom. That's like trading money for dust..

Hey guys, I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket on AT&T and I really want to get Google Now on it without rooting. I was looking around online and I found a video in which the guy manages to install it using only apks. Yes, he was rooted, but the only reasons I could see that it needed root was to edit build.prop and to edit the system apks. So I thought, well, couldn't I just do that on my computer? I was thinking that maybe if I plugged my phone in via USB, got build.prop off the system folder, edited it, then edited the system files, but the new build.prop on, installed the apk I would have Google Now! I'm pretty sure this won't work, but I'm curious why.
You need root to access system folders

So even if you go on PC and via USB browse to system folders, you can't open them?

You can't view system folders on a PC, only using a root browser (to edit), a normal file browser (to view) or adb (to view)

Hey guys, I'm currently running Miui and since a couple of months ago I completely lost the ability to copy and paste text.
The clipboard is still present but I am unable to paste the copied text, there is no paste option at all.
Logcat says unable to obtain Clipboard service.
What should I do?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
go to /data/clipboard there you should select and delete all files.
a reboot may be needed.

I did a search and found an HTC EVO flashlight apk. Installed it on the HTC ONE but the 3 brightness setting doesn't work.
Does anyone have the HTC ONE stock flashlight APK?
My phone is bootloader unlocked, rooted, and running on stock ATT rom. Not considering custom rom at the moment due to some app and software compatibility issues.
Thanks!

Sorry I am total newbie at this. I downloaded the zip file from the dropbox link to my computer. I unzipped it. Inside I see two folders and three individual files but non is with an apk extension.
The two folders are named: Meta-Inf, and Res. The three individual files are AndroidManifest, class.dex, and resources.arsc.
I also tried to put the entire zipfile into my phone's memory and install from there. But since it's a zip I had to open view it with ezfile. Also no luck from there.
Should I just change the zip extension to apk?
Thanks
Just download it on your phone and install

I was a little annoyed when I rooted my P600 and lost the ability to use screen mirroring. A bit of searching gave me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421642 showing how to patch libWFD_ENGINE.so. Thanks to everyone on this thread and I have attached a working libWFD_ENGINE.so for my P600 on MK1 / ML1 firmware. Tested using an Actiontec Screenbeam Pro.
Installation:
Using a root-enabled file explorer, like Root Explorer, make a backup of /system/lib/libWFD_ENGINE.so
Download the file below, unzip the zip file, and copy the so file to /system/lib, replacing the one already there (again, make a backup).
Set permissions to 644 / -rw-r--r-- and reboot.
Not tested if it will work on other versions / variants / firmwares
Update, flashed ML1 a couple of days ago and applied the fix again OK.
Excellent work! Did you build this from source? Mind sharing the kernel base?
Worked great thank you.

No, I just patched the code using Winhex after decompiling with IDA as in the thread I have linked to
apparently it doesn't work on the wifi version because now I'm just stuck at the SAMSUNG screen....I did make a copy of the original file but I'm not sure how I can get it back to where it needs to be because I cannot get ADB to recognize my tablet.

I am using this on the P600 wifi, are you using the MK1 firmware ?? Did you setup permissions correctly and did the filesize of the one you backed up look the same ??
TWRP can get you adb, plus the file manager can copy from microsd into your lib directory if needed then setup the correct permissions or use fix permissions from the advanced menu. Be sure to use the 2.6.3.0 version from http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/lt03wifiue, I used Odin 3.09 to flash the .tar
P600 Wifi Version
MK1 firmware
Just ODIN'd the correct .tar, I used a different TWRP the first time.

My laptop will not recognize my tablet so that I can put that file in a folder so that I can move it with the file manager....hmm.
Still no luck. I even downloaded the zip from the computer and transferred it to a SD card and moved it to the system folder that way and it still will not go past the SAMSUNG screen. I wouldn't care to just flash back to stock with ODIN but I cannot find the firmware without having to pay for the ability to download the file. Does anyone have a download they could share with me? It doesn't really matter which one, I just want my Note back.

You didn't look very hard From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516013 gives http://www.samsungis.com/download/XAR-P600UEUBMK1
When you flash this over the top you won't lose any settings etc., just root / recovery

No worries, but you did scroll down through that thread and find the other alternative places to download it ?? !!
I do believe the other options require you to pay for downloading the file. I'm not that desperate yet.

This is from the last link I mentioned http://uploaded.net/file/95sl3ijv
Edit, OK, I have Uploaded Premium so can download big files, now I get it !
Paid the 4.99. Hopefully I will be up and running soon. The download speed isn't blazing fast from that website. I have a dedicated line where I work and I'm only seeing max download speeds of 800Kbs. Lesson learned about not making a backup first. I never would have thought that little file could cause so many problems.

It's worth comparing the file sizes 1st to see, I noticed that on the other thread the modification was used across several versions / firmwares of the same device. But make a backup and have a fresh copy of the firmware just incase !

When you use the screen mirror do you just select it from the settings? Or do you use another app? I am thinking about getting an actiontec screen beam pro and would like to know how the setup goes?

My phone is telling me I have a limit space so I go look at what is taking up space and it says just over 9 GBP of miscellaneous files, so when I look at it it shows one with 5.05 GBP of usage but it is labeled "0."
Any ideas to what this is or if I can delete this file wothout bricking my phone?
Any thoughts guys?

I am unable to understand what exactly you are trying to say!
could you please tell in detail?
I am trying to free space on my phone, and I need to know if that file under miscellaneous that is taking up 5GB can be deleted.
I am also wondering if I can delete CWM for now, as I don't plan on loading a new ROM, and if I do, I would would rather use TWRM

is it just one file or any folder of that name?
you may try to search the file by it's name using any file explorer.
It looks like it is the "0" directory, which is what Android uses for emulated SD card. "/storage/emulated/0"
If it is showing something different than what you actually have in your internal emulated SD card, you may have to do a factory reset.

I have found the file within the system, and it essentially put all of the old stuff from when I was running CM 10.1 into it and then put it into the emulated directory.
Just if you're not yet's solved you problem

Hello !
i'm new to xda
I've got that problem before
It happens when you swap SDs (i.e:extSdCard==>sdcard) & delete a file
so the free space still becoming smaller until it becoms 0
the solution is to RE.Swap the SDs
it may not work for you !
Press Thx if i've helped you
