Hello,
I was browsing through Root Explorer, cleaning out some files, etc. and I noticed a file in the main "sdcard" path titled "music2_hprof_data". I'm not entirely sure what it is but it's averaging around 50MB. I've tried doing some research but I literally have come up with no results. Can anyone give me any insight on what this file is? The only thing I can really think of is that it might have something to do with caching my Play Music - although usually the music cache is in the Android/data path.

HI
I have check the SDcard Root and I have a lot of DiskCacheIndexxxxx.tmp
Does anyone know what are this files?
Thanks
good question
Good question I have about 50 of them!
Most likely app-created index files to hold the location of cached contents. Did a quick google search and you can find other refs to these files, mainly in other android and even other xda threads (G1 for instance) where in one someone said he went ahead and deleted them with no ill effects. YMMV

I found that already and delete the files..
but it has start creating new ones..
Thank you
believe they are caused by Quandrent Advanced. I only get them when I have that app installed. I just delete it and use Quadrent Standard and the files go away
I had this exact problem. It was caused by installing 3d froyo gallery from the market. After removing this app, rebooting (and deleting all the files in the root), the problem was resolved. Not sure if this applies to you guys, but figured I'd chime in.
Also, they are not caused by quadrant advanced, i've been using that for quite some time, and it never dumped files to the root of the card.)
Sounds pornographic to me
Just kidding. Anyway yeah it's Quadrant.

Instead of using 3D gallery from market you can use standalone *.apk from Nexus it works without creating any temp files on sdcard root.

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi only. As I understand it, there's a 4 gig file size limitation due to how the memory is formatted. Is there a way to get around this. I have looked and searched multiple times not being able to find anything.
second questions, when I updated to touchwiz the sound on my videos and movies decreased significantly(using stock player) and 5.1 did not seem to work as well anymore, Thus I had to switch back to stock 3.1, is there a fix for this?
Thank you
Fellow noob here... How did you find out about a file size limit? I would like more info on this one if you can direct me to the right place. I've had my tab for a month. How did I miss this?

i searched for it on google, everytime I would try to put a movie on my tab over 4 gigs it would halt, didn't have this problem on my xoom which i returned...it probably is the rom...i might try a different rom
Please let me know if using a different ROM resolves the issue.
It is not a limitation of the device or the filesystem (as many Google search results suggest).
I have this problem too and I noticed it copies the files to a temporary file on the device. It seems to stop at the end when it is done copying all the bits. It should move the temp file to the actual location where you wanted to copy the file but it doesn't thus failing to place the file on the device and deleting the temp file. I noticed that if you rename and add a filename extension to the temp file before it is removed it will play in whatever media player you use. This is very annoying to have to catch the temp file before it is removed and rename it manually each time so it's not worth the effort. Especially considering the Tegra 2 can't handle High Profile h.264 anyways.

This maybe isn't useful to you, but I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm running CM10 FXP133 on my Xperia Ray. Wrote a post a bout it here.
So I guess we're both equally desperate. Anybody please help!
/Daniel
Not sure if this is any good (I don't have time to try it out right now), but I found this.
/Daniel
edit: Nope. Sorry. Didn't work. Crap.
Looks like its a problem with the latest nightly.. it was working fine last release...

I partially solved my problem. Something had put a .nomedia file in /sdcard, which quite naturally led to problems. I removed the file and did a new scan and now I got photos in the gallery again. Apollo is still empty though, so I'm kinda pulling my hair here. Done the obvious stuff (reboots, clearing cache, purging app data).
/Daniel
Ha! Found the rest of the solution. Seems the media scanner doesn't scan all folders anymore but just some (found out about it in this post). I moved some of my music to /sdcard/downloads, run a scan and suddenly it's there in Apollo.
Oh, and the .nomedia in sdcard root appeared again. No idea where it comes from, but it seems like a good idea to check for it and delete it once in a while. Strange things happen...
Oh. And sorry to the OP for hijacking this thread. I hope some of my mumbling is useful to you
/Daniel
I reflashed rom again,and now in gallery and apollo,media is showing.
Maybe it's a problem with Rom Manager,because that pushed .nomedia files in wrong folders.

after using Rescan Media Root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
there's a folder in DCIM called 100ANDRO.
put the music files in there and stock player detects them
put pictures in DCIM>Camera and gallery finds them.

Similar thing happened to me on CM9, Xperia mini. I deleted the .nomedia file and cleared the app data on music players and things are fine now.
My status on this one right now is that scanning mostly works. It refuses to scan some directories though. If I move all my music to /sdcard/music it's scanned, but in /sdcard/subsonic/music where it's always been before it's not. The only big problem with this is that for example /sdcard/ringtones is not scanned. So according to the system I no longer have any custom ringtones. This gotta be a bug, right?
/Daniel
Maybe you could try another music app like winamp. Because there you can do a manually media scan and as far as I know you can choose the folder where it should scan manually, too. Maybe give it a shot

at first i couldn't find my ringtones, put one in sd/ringtones and in the system/media/audio//ringtones
in doing all this i ran SDrescan and rescan media root multiple times.
now i've got two of the same showing up.
one thing the messed me up is that the ringtone filename is not used on the menu.
instead, the ringtone menu is pulling the metadata to tile it.
so I've got my filename 'ringtone.mp3' but it show up in the menu as 'song'

Ok. I also ended up putting my ringtones in /system/media/audio//ringtones which solves my problems. The media scanner still doesn't want to have anything with the ones in /sdcard/ringtones to do. Guess the media service will need some polishing before CM10 is released

Threads I've found suggested that Major Mayhem was promoted inappropriately on the forum, this isn't a promotion. Also the games and apps forum said if I have a question it should go in Q&A not games and apps forum.
Basically, I have a HTC One X with Jellybean Rom installed and have found that you can run the battery out completely even if it's on ac charge. I was playing the game for ages and the ph switched off. I thought it might have been overheating but it turns out that I had to boot into clockwork recovery to charge for a bit before I could boot the phone normally. Quad core burns battery power really quick.
I did this playing Mayhem and when I reloaded it I found all my saves were gone. I've spent heaps of time building up my accomplishments in this game. Can anyone suggest what might be going on? I don't know about how apps work yet. Could someone tell me the save game file strutucre so I can see if it's renamed/corrupt/missing or something? The game appears functional but I've probably spent 80 hrs on it building up the rep. Maybe someone could guide me through the file structure or how I could track programs install pathways?
Thanks,

Use a file browser such as Astro, navigate to where you installed the game and look for the games package name (For example com.xyz.majormayhem). Once you find that go into the folder and look for game save data files, and other data files that are usually stored there. Try searching through the general "data" folder as well.

What do you mean by install process breakdown? Do you mean install location? You can find out install location by going to system manager and seeiing if its installed on the internal or external storage. Also try a package explorer app that should give you more information.

He means that unlike windows wizard procedure, android owns user and device so it does not bother telling you where files are and even hides files from owner, so break down is both destroying that concept and make everything available to owner at his own leisure, and creating decent installation log viewer from google to be able to inch every tiny detail, as those which don't have nothing to hide do.

Ah I see, that would be an interesting app to develop although I imagine that it would require root access to get all the necessary information from the system to present a complete and detailed installation breakdown log.
just noticed today a file, .tcookieid (33 bytes in length, dated yesterday, opened file, about 30 characters of Hex), has appeared on my M8 in every folder on my SD card, and is also on the root dir. anyone know what it is?
Have you recently installed ifonts app?
I saw that I also had this file throughout my sdcard.
The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with how ifonts deals with replacing and/or backing up your current Fonts.
I found your post after a google search about it. But there is not much info about it (that I can find)
It may be that everyone knows what these .tcookied files are and me and you are a pair of idiots lol.
But I figured I'd post just so you wouldn't feel on your own!
I'm gonna keep searching for answers and if I find anything I'll let you know.

there could have been an update to ifonts recently, in the past few days, cant really remember as i have so much stuff getting updated daily. but ifonts makes sense as to what is making this small file. its harmless anyway, just wondered why it was appearing. surprised no one else has picked up on it here on XDA (apart from ourselves)...
Hello there,
Even i stumbled upon this post from the Google keyword query, my SD card was displaying as being damaged, so i was closely examining the contents of my SD card and i found this newly created file.
It was only in the root path of the SD card, nowhere else.
Even i think that this file might have belonged to iFonts, i have uninstalled the app and removed the file after iFont messed up my factory font restoration pretty badly.
same here
On every folder on my sdcard appeared a file called .tcookieid with a strange code inside
I just installed some new application this afternoon, i am 100% sure that i hadnt it some hours ago.
If someone know what is the cause or what is this please let me know.
I cant find nothing on google
Just found it myself..delete some of it..i hope it doesnt affect my files.....curious?????

Well iFont has never even been near my device, I hadn't even heard of it until this thread. So either something else creates it too or it's nothing to do with iFont.

Not sure what it is. I found one website which gave information stating that it's recognized as a form of a Trojan virus that collects info and sends it somewhere. Can't verify that, however, if you want to remove them all then open up terminal, change directory to root of internal sdcard and copy paste the command above. Do the same for external sdcard as well.
I haven't seen them come back yet, but if it does, then best believe I have every intention of wiping my device out and restoring with a pure stock Rom.
EDIT: I noticed that it's not just the internal and external storage. Its everywhere on the device. However, I still have not seen it come back on my device since I have removed them.
same issue, not that alarming
I believe they are a direct link to a cookie on websites to keep track of your browser traffic, lots of websites use them, some more aggressively than others, I just delete them through 7zipper 2.0. If you stay on top of it, check once a week, it doesn't get too out of hand.
Read this article; type in your browser "what is a cookie?' And click the link, ".... All about cookies" I can't post links yet, sorry.
Correct me or add to if you find anything else

It's more of a headache than a threat, its a file that allows websites to keep up with browsing history on websites to give suggestive sites on your mobile browser through their cookies. Read this article and put 2&2 together. Type in "All about cookies" in your browser, I can't post links yet, sorry. I just monitor my files closely and it doesn't get out of hand checking once a week, but that would depend on how much you surf and what sites you go to. Hope this helps!

Me too never had that app but many others have come and gone. I have this file and many others stored in "miscellaneousfolder" or whatever on my Samsung Galaxy s5. I'm going on a deleting spree and still the numbers don't add up and oddly enough the bar reflecting the slices of memory shows a larger, I believe more accurate, slice of free space than my phone is telling me. Ugh I'm just gonna get a bigger SD card it'll probably solve everything.
How do I remove .tcookieid files?
I also have this problem. The files are all over my internal SD card and I need to get rid of them. Are they dangerous files?
I'm pretty sure it is caused by games that offer all sorts of in-app free stuff if you watch videos and such. As the name suggests it's a tracking cookie.

I too have found this file, it came from xmodegame which i had install for clash of clan. I think the file contain some kind of ID, for further exchange of data, this app get root permision and voilate privacy by tranmiting other data too. I have install in rooted device, my suggetion to refresh the ROM. Rest phone works only with non rooted device with root and also granted root, my guggetion is that refersh your ROM asap. 5his is leach (worm).
It is a kind of permanent marking. For each directory, the file has the same contents. After installation Xposed with xprivacy and refusal to provide android id, my device has been so marked. It is best to install the new clean rom.
Is it anyhow lethal to my data or my sd card .? should i worry about it .? help will be appreciated
