This is very frustrating... expert help needed. I have a Samsung Fascinate running AOKP JB 4.2.1 under a clean install (...formatted my system, data, datadata, cache & dalvik prior).
On phone startup, "media storage" seems to scan all internal audio files. The audio list exists... but after a while, the list just disappears and I no longer can choose my ringtones, music, etc. from any application depending on "media storage". I found out the list of media files are in the "internal.db" database under /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases. So I cleared the "media storage" data, restarted the phone, n observed the folder contents...
On startup, "internal.db" shows up @ ~100 kb and doesn't change in file size. What does change in size is the accompanying wal-file, "internal.db-wal". According to sqlite.org, the wal-file will maintain the audio list and commit it to the database "internal.db" after so many records. Yet, at some point this wal-file drops from ~700 kb of records to 0 kb... no idea why. This is when i can't access my music.
For a long time, this wasn't an issue. I believe the records from the wal-file were already successfully committed to the database. Then I must've cleared the data (for some reason), thereby having "media storage" rebuild the database from scratch... and ultimately revealing an issue with the wal-file. I've even uninstalled the "media storage" package "mediaprovider.apk" from /system/app via TitaniumBackup. Rebooted. Then reinstalled the apk to /system/app. Rebooted. Same issue happens! All else is working perfectly.
I'm no sqlite expert, but is there some way i can force the wal-file to commit? Any other advice? Yes, I googled all i could think of. And i'd like to avoid reinstalling my ROM. Your help is greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]
Found a workaround...
1 - Delete the contents of the folder /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases.
2 - Reboot and wait ~5 min after startup to let the media store reindex all ur media. DO NOT configure any app's ringtones/sounds just yet.
3 - In terminal, enter the following commands. You should see "x | y | z" after the checkpoint command... where x is 0 (database is ok), y is the number of modified pages, and z is the number of pages successfully committed to the database. y and z should be equal and much greater than 0. If the result is not as described, the database is probably screwed up and u were too late. Go back to step 1 and repeat.
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases
# sqlite3 internal.db
> pragma wal_checkpoint(FULL);
> .exit
# exit
$ exit
4 - Trust the workaround and start configuring ur ringtones/sounds now... or reboot again and ensure the media store database stays fixed. I recommend the latter.
5 - 3 sir!

Checked posts / searched for an existing answer... didn't see anything (please move this post if it is in the wrong section)
So I have a app, when I open it asks me what Google ID to uses (preferred ID) but after selecting a Google ID I can not change to a different ID
- If I clear the App Cache the selected ID persists
- If I clear the App Data the selected ID clears and the app returns to the select ID option
- I keyword searched for the App name on my device (Nexus 5x)with Root Explorer (12 different file locations, with subfolders and a bunch of empty folders)
Clearing App Data is a working interim solution, the downside is that every time I clear the App Data the app "downloads assets" (40mb+ ~40 times per day - 1.6Gb!)
What I am hoping to find is a app / script / terminal / log solution that will tell me what file is being modified when I select the Google ID, so I can delete that file re-open the app and change Google Logon
(I contacted the app developer, they said they may be able to fix the problem on the next patch eta 12-24 months)
So I have tried these apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=file.observer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm
But I didn't see system changes (root level) or I didn't know what to look for in LogCat
Any help or suggestions are appreciate!
- I do not have a computer with me (ADB) will be about 7 days before I can try that
- I have been experimenting with deleting files / folders and testing to see if I get lucky (probably not the best method)
- I am not a developer
My current process (as of today) - I clear the app data, then restore the app data with TB (just restoring doesn't clear the sign in status)
As long as my TB backup is "always" in the signed out state, then the "app assets" restore with no issues (and I don't have to keep downloading them)
I am looking for a way to get these (2) operations into a single script / file / shortcut, but it is working for now
I did try the terminal with cp -a (copy the assets - app had a error on library permissions when the files were restored) chmod, chown, and find (try and locate the file) but had minimal success
Requirements:
AmazeBackup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/utility-amazebackup-backup-tool-pace-t3801165
FitnessSyncer.com account;
DropBox / GoogleDrive / OneDrive account (it will be used by FitnessSyncer to automatically sync new data when it is extracted from watch);
Runalyze.com account: it will get data from FitnessSyncer and calculate VO2max (run activities only), it's optional;
Know how to read and install/configure simple software on computer.
It works with ANY watch (Pace/Stratos/Verge), ANY firmware (unlocked or not) and ANY computer (macOS/Linux/Windows).
Download and install AmazeBackup, connect watch to computer and run option #12 (export data), it should create a folder named "export" inside its main folder;
Install and login to DropBox/GDrive/OneDrive, configure it to sync data from the "export" folder above (here you have to know how to do it by yourself, it varies from software to software, computer to computer, user your brain and tutorials from help pages and the internet);
Login to FitnessSyncer, open your account page and add a new *Source* (image 03);
Add your online service (DropBox/GoogleDrive/OneDrive) as "Maps", set "File Type" as GPX, grant permission and point to the folder in your online storage service that will sync the "export/gpx" folder (image 04 - standard Advanced Options settings should work, but you may want to change them if you find any problems with multiple data sources later);
OPTIONAL: Do the same for the TCX folder if you also want to sync non-GPS data, obviously setting "File Type" as TCX and pointing to "export/tcx" in your online storage;
In order to get VO2max calculation, you must sync to Runalyze, then go to Account page and add a new *Destination*, then fill the data and grant permissions accordingly (image 05);
OPTIONAL: If you want to sync data with other services like Endomondo or whatever you use, go back to you Account page and add new Destination, then fill the required fields in "Synchronize with Service" (image 06).
Both FitnessSyncer and Runalyze have an extensive help, read them before asking questions. I like the way Runalyze shows data, but if you just want to concentrate all your activities in one place, FitnessSyncer may be enough, it even has a phone app for both Android and iOS.
That's it, every now and then, after new activities, connect the watch to computer and run AmazeBackup option #12 again, new data should be uploaded to your online service and synced automatically via FitnessSyncer and your preferred online storage service.
All services and AmazeBackup are free, please donate to keep then running and their developers happy.

Situation
I have a 780 MB msgstore.db WhatsApp file that I recovered when my phone data was corrupted ( from the available image - data recovery software).
now the issue is that I have the UN encrypted msgstore.db file available and the encrypted files that is dbcrypt or whatever they go by - those were not recoverable.
when I open this 780 MB file with a SQL lite reader I can browse the database so it is not corrupt.
after wiping and new ROM installation WhatsApp went to the cloud ( Google Drive)
and created A 380 MB msgstore.db this file has a lot of my chats missing ( remember WhatsApp cloud stores only 1 backup and it will synch a newer back up senselessly even if it appears less size that previous backup. Which it did not until user confirmed but that is the brain dead design of whatsapp )
What I did
I used these guides
this one
manual intra db merge approach . ( Ignore the fraud website warning from your browser and override to visit . It does not like the word 'crack' on the website that is why you get it
and this one
XDA discussion.
( Above thread is a long one but they describe 2 similar approaches 1 uses a phython script and other a Java Prog. I used the latter and successfully created a 1gb output.db file from 2 messagestore.db's )
to
create a working messagestore.db files and placed it in the working whatsapp directory at ( after renaming the existing file )
Code:
/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases
for 1 moment I could see some messages appearing but after that it gave me message which came to something that it could not read messages and wanted to restore messages from backup ( which is
Code:
/storage/emulated/0/whatsapp/databases/*.dbcrypt
files )
given up hope. How can I get this done ?
