[Q] storage problem - Samsung Galaxy Star

After flashing the stock rom i cant find any data in the android folder.. also there are two more folder added called "0" and "legacy ". and i can find the same thing inside the "0" i.e the android, DCIM and the clockworkmod. Also i cant make any folder inside the android folder.. I had cm before flashing this stock and i could find the same in the cm also. In cm i could not change the permission to RW. I am not sure but i think psych.half had emulated the storage in cm .. and what to do to get the storage back to normal ....

That is the media app problem.

Simply saying media scan never started

yeah something like that..
but it's also solved. i just re-flashed the stock again
and it runs good... thanks for the help...

Lol, everything got auto start in your device buddy :laugh::good:

I dont think so buddy... i think you didnt read my post.. i had previously cm 10.1 and it has an imulated internal storage i guess.. and i installed cwm 6.0.3.7 updated by
Unjust and it does not wipe the whole internal storage . Thats why i was getting all that i guess..

Setup and apps after reboot vanished

Hello
I have a big problem. Every time i start my sgs2 new, some applications are deleted and some setups also gone. I have Checkrom hd v6 and Android 2.3.6. I tried siyah and speedmod kernel, but nothing has changed. I hope some of you can help me. I searched but I couldn't find some threads where my problem was mentioned.

Start new do you mean restart the phone and apps are gone missing .

Yes and stock rom will wipe the phone though some stuff may still be on the sd card .

So this is like I would format the sd card or is there an different between format sd card and install the stock rom? Or do I have I to do both?

I have found an other folder called LostDir (the other folder was on the external SD) . There are some files. I made a screenshot. What is it? And what can I do with this information?

2.1 stock rom low space message even i i deleted from system lots of apps...

as the topic says
do you use Poweramp to play lossless? I have same problem when use PA to play lossless, it creates temporary files, I used root explore to delete it but forgot the file location
nope i dont use it
This might sound stupid but have you rebooted it? The same thing happened to me. But was fine after a reboot

Which storage is full? Internal or external. I do experience like this before. What im doing is reboot the phone in cwm recovery and do wipe data (factory reset). After that, it just go like normal. Its working for me but im not sure if it working to u too.

Hi all,
Hope your well.
Im having the same issue too when trying to install apps. Exactly the same message. just over 6GB available in storage.
Im trying to install friendcaster no luck.
Tried to install you tube too, no luck. I have checked data/apps and I have no Odex files in there. Also, I have not installed friendcaster before on this phone therefore there will not likely to be any odex files for that app.
I am on Omega Rom, which is deodexed.
Btw, where is internal storage gone? only see SD storage and ExSd storage.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks guys

Having odex files is the issue that comes to mind but if you have checked it and there isn't any related to friendcaster then u should try wiping cache n dalvik to see if that works.

Salaam bro.
Thanks for your response.
This may sound silly but I was trying to think back a few days ago if I had made any system like changes to my phone. I then remembered that in one of the settings menu in Rom Toolbox, there is an option to choose where to install apps. Auto,internal or SD card. I changed it from Auto to SD,thinking (logically) it would save internal storage. It turns out (so far)that this was the issue. I changed it back to auto and then I was able to install the app. Wierd I know. Im confused. I hant tried to install anymore apps yet so not sure if this is sorted for good but will keep an eye out.
Once again thank you for taking time out to respond.
Btw, all the best for Ramadhan!! (next month!!)

Wasalam bro
U shouldn't need to install apps to external as u have a lot of memory this time around n u can also use a lot of software to move game data to external sd and run them from there by Binding the directories. Anyways best of luck to you to buddy for Ramadan. Do remember me in your prayers. Tc. Fe Aman Allah

If you use that naughty luckypatcher program it can cause the out of space message as well when you try to install some programs.

[Q] how to get out of bootloop on s 2

first time i install cm10.1 nightly on s2 i9100, there was no prob...then flashed pacman rom ..was a little glitchy and slow.
So moved on to paranoid android..this is where the prob started... it keeps on bootlooping :?
Right now flashed stock 4.1.2 via odin and rooted with siyah kernel s2 v6 0.5b ..works fine
but if i flash any custom ROM it bootloops ,even with the prior cm10.1 that i had..
checked xda , did a lot of work but still stuck at square one..{wiping this , wiping that}
only thing i can find fault with is in recovery when wiping data says
Format/sdcard/.android_secure ..fail
skip Format
Format completed
when trying to intsall from sdcard it says
E:/ cannot mount..
tried different cwm recovery .. all with the same findings..
so please help me.. its boring to be stuck with stock ROM..
i am a doctor ..i tried but couldnt follow running SDK and commands ..so please keep it simple
or if possible publish a video.. bcause iam not the only one with this predicament...during my research i found a lot android users with the same problems..
Thanks

Thank you..ammar but as i have already said my phone works but with the stock rom...i end up bootlooping only when iinstall custom ROM
n the solution given in that thread 1. is to flash a stock rom.. 2. flashing villain rom but the download links are not working..
i think it has do with fail to format .androidsecure thing but what do i know?
again thanx..
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906362
also backup all ur internal memory data to a pc and then format your Internal memory from within the rom
You could try using a couple of wipe scripts by a guy called hawkerpaul....I think they're called 'romwipe' and 'kernelwipe'.......
Use the XDA search function....should be easy enough to find.
It may be that there are some 'leftovers' following the usual wipes (cache, dalvik and data) that are causing conflicts with your fresh installs.....
The above mentioned scripts perform a more in depth wipe....might help.....

i have tried that GS2ROM wipe and nuke scripts already, with no luck ... yes that runs bigger wipe but it still fail to format sdcard .andoidsecure
i think it has do with renaming of the sdcard{silly doubt when recovery states sdcard , it doesnt refer to extsd right?} from sdcard to sdcard0 while installing CM10.1,,
if i could safely erase that {.andoidsecure}, probably things will back to normal .. anyone know how to
oh iam not able to use install from sdcard option in recovery(formerly before flashing any ROM i was able to..i hav to install from "internal memory"
Again iam grabbin at random bcause i want to go bac to custom ROMs. .if any of sounds untechi ..let me remind u i am just , what do they call it.. a noob and i do apologise...

i can find folder .androidsecure in extsd card and that erasing that doesnt solve the problem.. there must be another copy
iam not able to find .androidsecure in sdcard {internal}..with neither ES explorer nor Root explorer..
i dont know if this helps but i tried to intall that int2ext mod once but it didnt take ..installation aborted in recovery..i cant really remember if this was before or after i started havin the bootloop problem...Most likely after ...when i was running stock rom
There those are all the cards ...someone please solve the puzzle...
hey i can install custom roms again
1.formatted extsd and usb storage{after making back up of course} in storage setting in ROM
2.in recovery : Mount emmc
Mount sdcard
wipe user data
Flash the custom ROM
and it didnt go into bootloop ...hurrah
Running CM10.1 on i9100...
thanks guys..
looking into dual boot with siyah...are cm10.1 and PA rom compatible? jumping the gun too soon..lol..

I think it's related to this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218 I'm not quite sure but take a look at least.
Known behavior, explained many times.
New mount points leave the old Rom on the phone.
Check rootsu guide.

How did you full wipe? Full wipe from non-stock recovery DOES NOT clear your SDcard.
Well screenshot abit later but ATM its like I've done hard reset from stock recovery least 4 times and its every time like that storage .Currently idk why its like that.When I enter the folders I don't find any content of any sort cause I've wiped every think clean .But still I'm left with 4.6gb storage and I have these 2 folders I typed only soooo its bumnmer
Here you go
Please im deeply confused and ima ****in cry.When i went to flash some other rom to see if this folders get fixed i noticed that my old stuff from 4.1.2 aint actually deleted but are somewhere deeply buried.In CWM i see the path to them but when download some root explorer i just cant find them
WTF is happening..I can see the files in sdcard/0 but i cant when using some file manager but only via CWM.Serously serously..
