i am currently building a rom for the samsung captivate built off 2.3.5.
The base im using is stock - deodexed/ ziped / minorly changed
this base flashes and works just fine!
what i am doing to it:
remove bloat.
- at&t apps,
- protips.apk
- remove broken swype
- remove stock email (not gmail)
- removed stock launcher
change to hacked camera.apk
remove bootsound
remove shutdown sound
change bootanimation
added user apps in data/apps
added widget picker in system/app
changed default wallpaper in framework_res.apk
changed install script
changed CSC
custom twwallpaperchooser
everything works fine through the install.
but durring the "setup" on first boot " phone setup wizard " will force close right at the step where you setup your google sign in.
BUT THATS NOT THE PROBLEM, (just the first sign of it)
the real problem is any apps installed after flashing do not show up in data/apps
any apps installed through the flash are there, but any installed after ARENT.
and no they arent on the SD card.
the apps will slowly disappear after installing one by one.
when i reboot THEY ALL DISAPPEAR!!!
it seems that the apps install to cache or memory.
as the memory gets cleared or you reboot, they get wiped away!
i have tried various things to fix this
i have rebuilt my rom MANY times.
with and without my framework res changed file
with and without my custom install script
with and without removing stock launcher
with and without changed CSC files.
with and without twwallpaperchooser
if i flash the base i was working from again, all is good.
this only seems to be an issue when i flash data/apps from the zip file. however i have used a script from a rom that successfully flashed data/apps before without this issue, so i do not think it is a permission problem....
im stuck and lost.
more specific, rewritten description i emailed to a few friends
holy hell i bet youve been busy...
me too, i finally have my rom built. for KH2 KJ1 and KJ2 !!
have it down to an easy process now. install script working!
but im having one final issue and cant find any useful info on it anywhere and its very specific
**I know KJ1 and KJ2 install any app to the SD if possible by default. any app on SD will not be affected by this issue ***until it is moved to phone
if I build my rom to install apps to data/app (through cwm flash )- any app that gets installed after (through market or sideload) will slowly disappear after some use or immediately after reboot. they also will not show up in data/app or system/app when installed ** once again not including apps on SD. and if apps on SD are moved to data/app they do not end up there. they disappear.
this leads me to beleive that they are installing to cache or memory, as the memory gets cleared or the phone reboots. they are gone!
if i build my rom without user /data/apps (and without that part of the script).
everything is fine. any app installed after shows up in data/app and is still there after reboot.
i have also used unmodified scripts with and without the package_extract ("data", "/data")
that have been known to work with the original rom they were taken from. without the issue i am seeing.
so i do not think it is a script / permission issue not allowing the system to write new data to that location. but i could be wrong.
my rom is ready for release once i can get this last part figured out. otherwise ill have to release with no user apps... any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again!

one search i came across mentioned something about possibly not being converted to rfs, but I have flashed to stock with re-partitioning ( rfs for sure ) and the rom and kernel i am building does not support it so that shouldn't be an issue.
from what other rom builders have told me this is an issue with gingerbread roms.
have apps copied to SD card and ask users to install manually.
Dude just found this post....sorry i was busy with KJ2
glad you got a tempory fix
ya you gave me the fix in the PM! LOL

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
Hi, i got major problem! Im using i9300 and Slimkat 4.4.2 rom, newest version.
I installed another cam app, Snap cam and changed folder where app saves pictures. Same folder that my perviosly cam app use: Sdcard1/dcim/camera
Then screen went black, and i realize that ALL MY MEDIA FILES ARE GONE. In this folder but in all other folders also. Like whatsapp folder all pictures are gone!
I think it is impossible to delete +300 pic and many videos in 1 sec, so can somone tell me where the hell is my all media files or are they really gone?
Tryed to search on ES but cant find any... Gallery say no files detected....
Thanks.

Read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/info-flashed-4-2-sdcard-data-t2274218 << and use a root explorer to search where it tells you..
This usually happens when installing a new rom as mentioned in the above guide..I have never known it to happen when changing folders but worth having a look anyway..

Hi, i did try do how this topic say, but i can´t see any files still..
So I accidentally deleted the whole gallery file on my galaxy s3 when I'm in the My File "app".
Don't ask me how....
I can still see the photos in the gallery, but the problem is I can't back up the files on to my computer, because the file don't exist.
I tried several programs, they either don't work or you have to pay.
Help???

Not possible. I bet you anything that after a reboot, those images will be goners.
File deletion equals permanently gone.
Sorry about that.

I restarted my phone several time, and the pictures is still there.
I can not play the video, but I can see the image.
The file no longer exist, i think if i clear gallery cache, the pics will be gone.
Is there any program to pull the pics out?

No, there's no program, as the picture files d o n o t e x i s t anymore. The cache still shows them, yes, but because the files are gone, you can't get the pictures.

Files are gone when the block is overwritten and what you describe as a picture is the thumbnail of your video.
Dear all,
as there is no specific thread for the tablet, here my request:
I rooted the device (A1-840FHD) and everthing was fine until I installed the latest update (and re-root).
Now the camera is not working anymore (immediate force close) - no connection with google camera. I already tried to reset the device (hard reset and via settings), deleted data of the camera and gallery - camera still does not work.
Therefore: if someone could create a stock image which is installlable via recovery or a backup of Titanium backup of the device (with a working camera), this would really appreciated. Any other hints as well...
I can offer some space on my webspace in order to upload. Please help, if possible by any circumstances...
Best regards,
ww
Installing titanium and backing up.
Never having used titanium before it might take a little experimentation.
If you know the files needed then it would obviously reduce the size of the file I need to upload.
Where did you find the update, I'm on 4.4.2 and have seen 4.4.4 mentioned but haven't found the update file anywhere.

Thx a lot. To be honest, it could be any file so from my point of view a whole tb backup package would be the best option just use batch actions (button on upper right corner) and select "all system data" in the backup section - it should backup almost everything system-wide (it might be a good idea to reset the device first, if possible)
One try could be just the com.acer.camera...
Btw.: It is still 4.4.2 - a few weeks ago there was an official Acer update (as far as I remember about 50 to 100 MB), after that the camera stopped working.
Let's see how large your titanium backup folder is afterwards and how large a zip containing all files will be...
Please keep me posted,
best regards

Same problem here. But I think in my case was my fault.
After the root, I was making a "cleaning" with the Titanium, but forget to backup everything first. So I think I clean to much, because after that my cameras stop working anymore.
I'll be very appreciated too for that files rentaguru.
With that system files I can find what is missing in my tablet.
Thank you both.
Ok I have a full system at 475mb =. You could try the three files with camera in the name first
Easier might be to try what fixed the camera on other tablets where a KitKat update screwed it. This is to boot into safe mode, try the camera, if it works then it should be fixed when you boot back to normal
The backup is climbing into Dropbox. When finished I'll get a list and try posting it
Thx - I will try it via safe boot - but to be honest I guess I will try either the cam or the whole package.
Thx again for your support
best regards

Tried safe boot... still the same (error). Looking forward to your package...

Hopefully....
this. ht tps: //copy .com /MWW6G8mEuvGtawGu is the tit backup of the systems applications (less the bloatware that I deleted before I decided it was a neverending task better left until we had a custom recovery available) Btw I have absolutely no idea of whether there are any limits (volume or otherwise) to the public access to that folder. Blast it won't allow me to post the url so piece it together!
I would point out the uploading it is really slow and keeps crashing, at present about 413Mb out of 475Mb has been uploaded and the brest is uploading at a rate of around 40kB/s. STOP PRESS .... now finished all 475mb is there

I tried the archive.
Unfortunately TB tends to freeze while restoring system apps (at 0% - even with other app processing option still the same) - i extracted all included apps and installed them manually.
The error still remains - last possibility in my point of view is to create an update.zip, boot into recovery as shown in the rooting thread and trying to install update.zip with CWM. After that the only chance remaining is to contact the support and get a replacement.
Nevertheless thx for your support.
Best regards

Sorry it didn't work. My suspicion is that it will be something in one of the various configuration files that don't get copied by titanium.
I will try to find the drivers for the camera and the entries in the configuration files for it and if I find them post the details so you can check yours against mine. Should get it done tonight so cross your fingers and hope.
Until we get an installable custom recovery solving things like this is going to be difficult. If you find such a beast let me know. I am in the process of installing apktool (h ttps://github.com/pqy330/apktool/tree/master/Apktool) which can unpack the boot.IMG and recovery.IMG but don't hold your breath
Someone as posted a cwm backup of his device on the root thread .... At http://acer.shreps.fr/dls/storage/A1-840FHD/A1-840FHD_1.042_AV0K1_RV0MRC02_WW_GEN1.zip
That might help .... Don't think you can flash it but it should give all the files.
I already sent it back to Acer. Now an official image is available on the support site... unfortunately too late. Let's see what Acer will say about the camera...
