Hi,
I have found a weird problem on my toshiba folio 100
I'm using the toshiba rom (latest version, no mods) and i did install/uninstall quite some apps.
At a certain time, I tried reinstalling an app. It installed, but failed to run. As i'm also developing a bit, i checked the behaviour of adb logcat. Here I saw that the uid that tha app gets was not the one that was requested (I leave the details). I temporary rooted the device with psneuter to see what was going on, and I have noticed the following:
- at uninstall time, the app storage folder in /data/data is not removed
- The storage size in "manage applications" is almost always around 10 Kb, altough several apps have 10mb of data in there
- because the folder is not removed (logcat "couldnt remove /data/data/appname"), it is reused after reinstalling an app. If the userid is already used by another app, it will get a new uid, but fail to access its internal storage. The new uid has no access to the old folder which has still permisions on the old uid.
This is not happening in the 2.2 rom of the dev emulator (This one cleans correctly).
Is there anyone else with this issue? Is it a folio bug or did I do something (or an app) to cause this?
Just to check:
Is there anyone that has an application under "Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <App>" - Storage - Data that report more than 20Kb? (e.g. a mail app that has enough data). This with recent stock rom.
I have the impression that some library call is missing or not working (but again, I don't know the cause).
I also see a lot of messages in the adb logcat reporting unknown permissions, mostly related to "vending"... (android market is not on the tablet...)
touchpad with uber kernel for a few weeks...no issues...
decided to try f4 tonight...email won't load...just says "retrieving email text" until it errors...uninstalled....back to uber...still not working...any ideas on how to fix this without having to start over from scratch?
Just a heads up.
Appears the newest version of muffle is causing problems with downloading email attachments: forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-homebrew/297651-muffle-system-logging-blocking-email-attachments.html
I'm having the transferred photos not showing up problem (still on -21 update), haven't yet tried the hard reset that was suggested here: forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/297585-transferred-pictures-not-showing-up.html
can't post links yet so have to copy/paste.
I'm having the email issue.. The only suggestions I've found didn't work, and I'd rather not reset the whole thing. Hopefully the dev fixes the issue soon.
I'm having the same issue. Supposedly it is an issue with the latest release of muffled system logging.

Thread with info and a "Fix" here. http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...ystem-logging-blocking-email-attachments.html
It supposedly muffles so well, that temp files for pictures, emails, downloads etc aren't even being created. That's what you get for turning it up to 11.
Edit: Author of patch already knows from my understanding, anyway, I'm restoring myself. Whooray for meta-doctor. Preware and testing feeds enabled, check.
Touchpad not recieving + sending email.
So my touchpad has stopped sending and receiving/retrieving email. My gmail folders show messages 2 weeks ago but none that are more recent, and my university email refuses to send anything. I've deleted my accounts more than once and have restarted.
I'm not sure if kernels affect this, but I'm running the Warthog Kernel at 1.7.
Any help would be appreciated!
What other patches do you have installed?
I'm unable to uninstall the muffle system logging, but I have:
ad blocker
add download link option
advanced reset options
default to month view
faster card animations hyper
increase touch sensitivity... 10
no vibrate or sound on messaging send
private browsing
quiet powerd messages
remove dropped packet logging
remove tap ripple
unhide dev mode icon
unset cfq io scheduler
unthrottle download manager
right now, whenever I quit out of mail and reopen, I have to reconfigure my mail accounts- they don't even save!

There is a 3.0.2.23 version on preware. Try installing that to see if that fixes the problem. For me I just did a full erase in the Settings and reinstalled everything and it worked fine. Still haven't downloaded v23 since v21 seems to be doing fine right now. Hopefully v23 fixes the touchpad for everyone else.

[Q] Email won't download
All of the sudden my emails won't load. The program opens and I can see the 3 sections, and all of my folders are there and I can select the emails and I get "An Error occurred downloading this message". But it is for all messages in both my Yahoo and Gmail mailboxes. Only thing different I can think of is I updated the F-15 Kernel.. anybody else have this issue?
**Updated - Uninstalled F-15 Kernel, removed all email accounts and then set them up again and still can't view emails***
Did you download the "Muffle System Logging" patch? If so, did you download the 3.0.2.22 version? If you did those 2 things then that can explain why you are getting the "An Error occurred downloading this message" email message.
What I did to fix it was do a full erase on the touchpad from the settings menu and reinstall everything.

I just did that, but when I set my device back up from scratch, it still didn't work. My "game" and "homebrew" tabs were left over from before, and I'm sure everything else was too, but "hidden".
installed govnah, and it said I was running at 1.7, meaning that my install of the Warthog kernel stayed after my full erase.
Full Erase is not enough, you need to doctor your 'pad in order to restore the OS to factory defaults.
Full Erase only erases the user data area, it does not touch the system area, which is where OS patches are installed.
Doctoring a 'pad is the only way to completely restore the entire solid state drive, and thus the device, to stock default.

Okay I doctored it, and now it works. Interestingly, my Game and Homebrew tabs are still here!

That's quite interesting. From my understanding of the doctoring process that shouldn't have persisted. Apparently doctoring a 'pad isn't quite as through as I had been led to believe.

It wasn't necessary to doctor it because a full erase was good enough for me to work and was confirmed by other ppl that ran into the same issue. The other step that you had to do was to remove the email accounts and recreate them. I even have the 3.0.2.21 muffle system logging patch installed right now and my email is working fine.
This is what worked for me:
1) Uninstall Muffle
2) Reboot
3) Remove mail accounts
4) Reboot
5) Connect using WebOSQuickInstall-4.2.3
6) Go to Tools, Linux Commandline
7) Paste in "find /var/file-cache -type f -mtime -7 -exec rm -f {} \;" minus quotes
8) Reboot
I'm leaving Muffle off until this issue is resolved.
** There is a chance that you may have to Dr. your Touchpad after this, some people claim to have had issues. I accept no responsibility for damages.
Is there even a point to muffle beyond what you can already do with ##logs# ? That pretty much shuts down the entire non-error logging system doesn't it?
I had used the app System App Remover to remove some of the crapware that Sprint and Samsung bog down your phone with. In particular I use Google Calendar for my main calendar and I use it through Thunderbird too as well as Google's web app for calendar. I love that I can easily create events and wham they are right there on my phone too.
Now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung puts it's own calendar app there and when you go into that calendar it wants you to set up a Samsung account, etc. I don't want a Samsung account and I'm quite happy staying with Google Calendar. So I tried to remove the Samsung portions of Calendar but leave the Google Calendar, etc. It is hard to tell which is which because they both simply use the name "Calendar". In any event I screwed up my Google Calendar on my Note 3.
Now this System app remover says it's safe or relatively safe and that it backs up any system app you remove in a "recycle bin" so you can reinstall it. So I go to the recycle bin and attempt to reinstall the Google calendar app I removed and it failed! I've talked to the developer and he's just perplexed and I'm out of a calendar on my phone!!!
I've tried reinstalling the Google Calendar app from the play store and while that succeeds I see no calendars being displayed. Here's some of the odd behavior I see:
When it starts it presents a month view with no events
Selecting Calendars to Display shows nothing
Selecting Calendars to Sync shows a blank page with Cancel and OK buttons but it says Loading forever!
Even though I have already signed into a Google account, if I try to add a Google account and supply my username and password it says that it had trouble contacting the Google Servers and to try again later. Of course later it does the same thing
If I go into my Settings and look at my Google account and what syncs I see no entry for Sync Calendar
If I try to make a new event I get a similar black screen saying Loading..., Cancel and Done buttons but it goes nowhere
It seems like the sync portion of Google Calendar/Account is broken or something is not signed properly. I've tried to find the appropriate CalendarSync.apk file and found a few, installed a few but the behavior described above remains the same.
HELP!
Is there a way to fix this without having to flash a rom? I used to play with installing rom's but now a days I try to just keep it stock - well I get additional apps but I try not to flash rom's and get unsupported. I have used towelroot to gain access to root. I use it because I also use Tasker and Secure Settings to try to automate some things and for some odd reason you cannot toggle GPS on and off until you get Secure Setting and root your phone! Stupid. And because I'm rooted System Update doesn't want to update me. I'm not sure if there's an OTA update for Sprint Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.2 but I would have thought that if there was say 4.4.3 available that update would fix my problem.
If I can't fix that problem could I flash a stock Sprint rom (where?) and then have all my apps come back from backup/restore (I recently did a factory reset and even this didn't fix it! And while many apps came back courtesy of Google, a number didn't and what is worse is that I lost a number of settings and configurations. I wouldn't want to have to do that again.
I'm almost at the point of saying screw it and getting back into custom ROMs. Sprint rarely updates us, Google doesn't update us so what's the point of staying stock kernel? Sprint tech droid are incompetent.
In any event if somebody can help that'd be cool (why such apps as Calendar and the like need to be backed into the ROM instead of just downloadable and installable like every other app is beyond me!)

Ok, chances are the Bloatware removal script removed more than just the GoogleCalendarSnycAdapter.apk. It probably removed most or all your Google Apps. First I would try and reinstall the calendar app from the recycle bin again, this time copy and paste it with some type of root manager app like Root Explorer. Make sure you put it in system/app and not system/priv-app. Check the permissions they should be rw-r--r-- after your have pasted the app. Then with the root manger app go to Delvik-Cache and delete it, now power down the device completely and reboot. It will take a minute as it rebuilds the Delvik-Cache.
Now in the event that the removal script took all the Google apps, here is a link for stock KK 4.4.2 NC5 .tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 ( Thanks micmars ) just follow the steps listed on his thread. Here is a link for Odin v 1.85 and Samsung drivers http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 version 1.85 always works the best for me.

Note that all other Google apps (at least the apps I use) work fine. Hangouts, Chrome, Chromeccast, GMail, Music, etc.
OK, I see two GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk files - one in /sdcard/Download that is 490.33 KB and one that is already in /system/app that is -rw-r--r-- but 618.06 KB. More is better right? I use ES File Explorer as a file manager and I am root. I could not find anything on my system with *delvik* in the name. Might it be something with *art* instead? Isn't Kit Katt on art now and not delvik? Wait I found it under /data. When you say "delete it" what is "it"? I ask because I see things like:
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter(1)[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
I think #4 was created when I accidentally downloaded GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk twice into /system/app. I've copied these 5 files to save them then removed #3 and #4, powered down and back up. Nothing different.
Next I copied all of /data/delvik to the sdcard and removed all of the files under /data/delvik, powered down and back up.This took considerably longer as the cache was rebuilt at startup. In fact it said Android is upgrading... After that it started apps and I was back up. But the calendar still exhibits the exact same behavior.
I think what needs to be reinstalled is probably the Calendar Storage because it seems to me whenever I try to add an event or a calendar it fails.
As for your links, why am I flashing my entire phone with a new rom and what will be happening to all of the apps and settings I currently have installed? I'm sorry but I really only want my Calendar app to come back. Everything else works. Last time when I did a factory reset in attempting to fix this many apps came back, but many didn't and lots of them had missing settings, etc. I really, really don't want to go through that again!
BTW why didn't I get an email when you responded...
Bump?

First sorry for the slow response, was out of town helping my daughter move. Now the correct size for the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk is 618.06KB. Here are copies of the files off my device which is a note 3 stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5.
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk https://mega.co.nz/#!tNxxxI5T!5xftzTM9ajyF45MeMR-qDS61ftYIhUIT3p2-hsBdN0w
SecCalendarProvider.apk https://mega.co.nz/#!0FIE0JgI!ENASoyihE3CLhECDDvBbRec1ROU5FxkAERQID7q7FPU
SecCalendarProvider.odex https://mega.co.nz/#!8MICFZSY!z23JLhKGgI9K5-1Lpe_GYszMlXmJyVaKsfaKd2vyCm8
Download to PC desktop, copy and paste to your sd card, then with your ES File manger copy the original files to a ext sd card or PC desktop. Now copy and paste the downloaded files, the adapter goes in system/app and the provider goes in system/priv-app. Once installed, check permissions rw-r--r-- then go to data/delvik-cache and delete the delvik-cache file, then go to cache/recovery and delete the last install and last log files. Then completely power down the device and reboot, delvik-cache will rebuild, then the new apks to will install.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Looks like I'm back up! No problem on the wait, I just wanted to keep the issue alive here.
Detailing what I did for the benefit of the next person I first downloaded your files and used PushBullet to push them to my phone. If you haven't heard of PushBullet then you should check it out! It's a nice way of pushing files, links, directions between your cell phone and your browser. I then:
. Put these files into /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar
. Moved /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk -> /sdcard/Downloads/save
. Moved /system/priv-app/SecCalendarProvider.apk -> /sccard/Downloads/save
. I could not find a SecCalendarProvider.odex file under /system/priv-app! Perhaps that was the root of my problem.
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk -> /system/app
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/SecCalendarProvider.apk -> /system/priv-app
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/SecCalendarProvider.odex -> /system/priv-app
. I looked at the perm bits of these files and when they were in /sdcard/Download/Calendar I could only see one of the 3 bit setting. It was set to 6 or rw-. However once I copied them to /system/app I could see the full set of perms and I changed them to 644.
. As for /data/delvik-cache, I didn't know exactly which file to delete but played it save and only deleted [email protected]@[email protected]. I figured if that was not the right think I could do it again but move all of the delvik-cache off of the phone like I did before. Turns out I didn't need to.
. I didn't bother (actually didn't see) the part about deleting the log files in the cache/recovery. Apparently I didn't need to.
Powered down the phone and then back up. Briefly saw a thing about updating and then I boot in. Started the Calendar and it didn't look good - it looked like it did before. But I went to the "Calendars to Display" and to my amazement it displayed many of my calendars! I went back and events were filling in as the background sync was taking place. I'M BACK!!!!
Thanks.

Hi, all. I followed all the instructions in this thread twice because I'm having the same issue and no luck. The "Calendars to Sync" is still spinning endless on the "Loading..." screen. I'm on stock Note 3 and have root. I even deleted all the files from /data/dalvik-cache. Any other suggestions? My issue is just the calendar sync as well. All the apk and other files mentioned here have been placed from the downloads that were provided. I'm totally dependent on my multiple calendars and dead in the water here.

I also was unable to follow this procedure with any success. I'm trying to get Google Calendar working again on my Sprint Galaxy S4 running 5.0.1 rooted stock. When I put seccalendarprovider in the app folder I get a crashy Calendar Storage (unusable). When I put it in a subfolder of priv-app it just says that Calendar Storage is disabled. When I just dump it straight into priv-app it's also crashy and unusable.
Hey,
today I needed to turn off my phone to swap battery. On turning it back on, my Google account wasn't there anymore, a notification said "due to changes to your account you have to sign in again". But signing it just won't do it. It doesn't fail, I come to the accepting terms and conditions, but when accepting the app just closes, the account isn't created so it seems that whatever app is responsible for that just crashes for no reason without any notification. The strange things: in the process I can see only the arrow in the bottom right, not the words "next" or "accept" (at the last page), only when I tap on them I can see them. And I had no accounts.db under /data/system/users/0. Now I have that file via TB restore. And I now see, after reflashing my ROM (by wiping /system, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP and flashing the ROM) that I also have under /data a system_ce (with accounts_ce.db) and system_de (with accounts_de.db and accounts_de.db-journal), but I don't know if I had them before the TB restore or the ROM reflashing (having english (US) and german (germany) as system languages).
No solution form anywhere else was helpful. I froze AdAway with TB, deleted /system/etc/hosts, deleted data from PlayStore and PlayServices with multiple reboots and the mentioned reflashing, nothing seems to help.
I'm running Emotion ROM based on CM 14.1 on my Note 4 N910F with latest modem and bootloader I can find. Since I don't know how far that could be ROM or CM related, I'm posting that problem here. I have absolutely no problems logging in with my account on my desktop PC via browser, even logging in on google.com from chrome on the phone is no problem. But filling in the infomation either initiated over system settings -> accounts or by opening PlayStore, I pass everything but the account is not under the accounts section and PlayStore would just open again with the login page.
Anyone any idea how to fix it? Here is a logfile of me trying to log in.
UPDATE: Just did a TWRP restore. Did not help! Going to ask Google meanwhile since it might not be a problem with my device...at least if I can find out where to do so.
PS: just looked into my account settings, it seems to recognize that I log in to my device, but that's it. Disconnectiong the device from there and trying again also doesn't work.
Greetings.
I'm having a problem restoring my messages using adb method in Nougat. I have done it before in CM12 and CM13 with no problems but since I flashed LineageOS 7.1.1, I had problems with it. First was the location. Before it was located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database. After googling around, I found a this thread. Turns out it was now located in /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony. So I go ahead and pushed my mmssms.db backup to that location but still my messages did not appear. Worse is my SMS app crashes every time I open it. Did a reboot, wiped cache/dalvik cache, tried to delete the *.db-journal files as mentioned in the thread but still no luck. I had to wipe the data again to regain my SMS app. I hope someone can help me. TIA
Bump
I have the same problem...
Yep same problem here. The /data/user_de location doesn't really seem to work either
Same problem here with latest Lineage on a rooted serranoltexx (Samsung Galaxy S4 mini LTE). I think something changed in the last update, but I don't understand whether it's Android's or Lineage's fault.
I give you more information, as it seems like a recent issue which troubles a lot of users - I found many similar threads, but no solution so far.
On my old Samsung S2 I was using the app SlightBackup (free, from F-Droid) to backup SMSs. However, copying the SlightBackup database (.xml format) on my new phone and reinstalling it there doesn't seem to work, so I decided to copy manually the mmssms.db file. Also in my case, the new directory seems to be /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (however, there is also a file called telephony.db which has a symbolic link in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases )
Still, my SMSs do not show up, and moreover the "contacts" app crashes. I tried deleting all the content of the folder and then the messaging app crashes (a full reboot restored the content, however, and the functionality of both apps with it).
Interesting to notice that all the *.db and *.db-journal files in the folder do not change size even if I send/receive SMSs, so I guess they are there just for compatibility, and do not actually store the messages. The "real" database is probably somewhere else, but I have no idea where to look for.
Help would be really appreciated. I'm willing to send 0.01 BTC to the first person who finds a working solution
P.S.: yes, I have also taken care of the filesystem permissions of the .db file, which is something not mentioned in any other thread I found, but important I think. In my case the .db file is 660 with owner radio:radio, same for the .db-journal but permissions 600.
P.P.S.: installing third-party apps to restore my SMSs is not an option in my case. I know about working apps in the Play Store but I don't want to use them.
P.P.P.S.: yes, my phone is rooted, and I am not using third-party messaging apps, just the default one.
