Un-installed the Facebook application earlier and reinstalled it on restart in order to remove my duplicated friends on Facebook.
Once I restarted, I noticed a blank quick-link on the home-screen. I then tried to replace this empty quick-link with a shortcut to an application, but to no avail. I have tried dragging other quick-links into this space, but that shortcut just disappears. I can place shortcuts into every other quick-link space except this one.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Any help would be much appreciated
you can clear it via the registry....
give me a few minutes to look up the values.....
okay, you need
HKLM - software - htc - home
sorta misread your post but this may still work....
there are loads of numbered entries, one of them is the link you want to clear, its probably still hanging onto some facebook related info, find it and delete the info relating to face book.
check its not set to read only.....
hope that helps.....
I have done exactly what you have said.
Gone into HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
and all there is in the folder is another folder named SMSMMS, both of which are empty folders
Sorry dude, should have been
"hklm - software - HTC - manila - home"
My bad..... sorry

Bit of a "newbie" to this kind of registry thing as you amy have guessed.
You have any idea how I could find out which one corresponds to the boxes that are not working??
don't worry, i managed to fix it using a bit of guess work, mixed with logic.
i saw that folders 5 and 16 were missing, so i copied the data from another folder, and pasted it in, seems to have solved the problem.
thanks for your help.
couldn't have fixed it without you
ha ha
consider your "newbie" status lifted......
I would have never thought of that!
glad you got it sorted......

what folder did you copy? my number 6 & 9 are missing?
i didn't copy anyone in particular. just copied the contents of one, and pasted it into a new folder. i don't think it makes any difference which one it is though...
hope it helps.
I am a new Eris user (my bro-in-law upgraded and gave me his old one) and I just recently installed xtrROM_5.0 and am loving it.
Does anyone know where the xtr wallpapers are located on the phone, or sdcard by default?
I really like the xtrwallpapers that were included with the rom, but the only way I've found to access them is by hitting menu>>wallpaper>>wallpaper gallery home. And when I access it that way, I can't set any of them as the lockscreen from that menu. I have looked in the photo app, under all photos, and they aren't there. I have searched every folder on the sdcard and the phone and haven't found them.
Does anyone know where they are located?
Thanks!
edit: for that matter I have a couple of wallpapers that came with LauncherPro that have the same issue. I can set them as my home screen wallpaper by going menu>>wallpaper>>wallpaper gallery LauncherPro. But I can't find them with the photo app, or file explorer. If I could find the actual file, I could open it and then choose "set as" and "lockscreen" but I can't find the files.
If I remember I found them in the folder system>customize>resource but I can not check since I'm on one of the CM7 Gingerbread roms now... so I may be wrong on the exact folder
Also I don't think you'll be able to choose a lockscreen wallpaper from there because it needs to be in the gallery... I had a few that I downloaded for that purpose and saved in the gallery.
Hope it helps!

I was thinking that xtr puts a folder called xtrWallpapers or something on your SD card, and that's where they're located. If they aren't there, zach.xtr just

Yeah, I PM'd him at the same time I posted this question. I didn't know if he'd respond to a newb. lol But he did.
Thanks for the help.
ok I have checked the search option and I find similar problem but no definitive answer. So:
When I reboot an app will show up as a grayed out image and it says app is not downloaded. I have archived the app but it doesn't do any good. It's no big deal because I can get them back through the market. But I would like to know if this is something I am doing wrong or is it the phone. Thanks.
You may find its due to them being transferred to the sd card .
jje
thanks guys
....
as can be soon on the pictures, the free space should be around 6gb, but why they show only 2gb?, can anyone help me to solve this problem?
*seen,
by the way, im using Ressuraction Remix Custom Rom
1. You have an edit button if you wish to add anything. No need to double post.
2. How are we supposed to know what you have on your system that isnt covered by the items in list? Download a disk usage app form Play store to find folder sizes and see which is taking up the unlisted space.
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.
All the best rich

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.
These little buggers are all over my SD card and internal storage.
I have the same issue on my LG G3.
I've never heard of iFonts, So why there are so many .tcookieid files all over my Internal AND External SD cards?!

Totally same
i have it all over my sd card
+1, Z2, no IFonts ... weird ...
find . -type f -name ".tcookieid" -exec rm -f {} \;
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!
Fill me in on any extra details

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
