Non existing photo, synchronization issue Google Photos - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange problem with Google Photos. I am user of Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with MIUI12 and Android 10. Whole software is up to date.
On 27.10 i tried to take a photo but my camera app crashed. In a result picture have been created which looked deformed. I deleted it using my stock Gallery app. From there and from my file manager everything looks normal. Unfortunately when i open GP i can see "black photo" with corresponding date and time to this crash.

Moreover the path related to picture simply do not exist and picture have 0B. I don't have external sd card and path to my dcim folder is with 0 inside it not 999.
The issue is I am not able to delete this picture in any know to me method. Simply clicking on trash icon GP ask for permistion to sdcard (which do not exist). Anyway i gave it and nothing happened. Button move to archive also don't work, it simply says it cannot be done.
What really annoys me is fact that it constaly trying to synchronize it to my accout.
What i did so far:
-stop the app
-remove all it's data
-reinstall
After reinstalling i noticed one thing until i won't resume synchronization the file do not exist but shorty after resuming it pop up again...
I can also add that i tried to find it in on my phone without succes and it is not visible on others synchronized devices.
Any advices how to get rid of it?

[HELP] Strange files using all RAM-memory!!

I suddenly noticed that I only had about 1MB free program memory left to play with (when I usually have about 15MB). I searched the whole memory for large files and find these in the Windows folder:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They do totally use up ~20MB!
I can also see that they were created on the 15th January (yesteday) thus I'm quite sure it has to be these file that caused my memory loss.
The files are not able to delete.
Does someone have a clue of where the files came from and what to do to get ried of them?
Help would be very much appreciated.
AFAIK the files are related to Pocket Outlook.
These files should be maintained by Pocjet Outlook as well
Tried a soft-reset?
Have you restored any backup or something?
I also noticed on your screenshot that the files are double as well, one with 2,71MB size and one with 2,62KB????
The are _not_ using your memory. They are Pocket Outlook databases and i have no idea why OS shows it (another bug in WM2003 for XDA?) but if you do a hard reset and sync, you'll have these files, BUT you'll have allmost all avaible memory. So they are just showing these big sizes but they're not - you shouldnt care about it .
I removed all my programs (installed on SD-card) before I would do a hardreset and then my old ~15MB memory was back(?) I reinstalled the programs and the memory is as high as is were before
Conclusion: Something must have went wrong when installing a program to the SD-card
Thanks for the help, though. Now I know that those files I found are not evil.
it's not a 2003 bug because 2002 showed them aswell

2 Tweaks I need help with...Alltel Touch Pro

Guys I have a couple of tweaks I would like to get help with:
1 - How can I change the highlight color(when you click on files in file explorer and the clock on the today screen, etc...) from the default green to another color of my choice?
2 - How can I remove "Alltel" and "Youtube" from below the Globe on the Internet tab in TF3D?
Oddly...I followed these directions ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44689 ) to a T to remove Youtube even double checked...deleted the youtube stuff between the operator links and it still shows up on the Internet Tab even after multiple soft resets. I will even attach my Manila file so you can see what I did. I did exactly what he said to do.
As for the Alltel link, I've been told to delete it from my Opera Favorites....well.....I deleted it from my IE favorites, but I either A) can't see my opera favorites or B) don't have any opera favorites.
I found the Opera6.adr file in file explorer which is suppose to be the favorites file, but when I open it in MS Word there is nothing on it except for this:
Opera Hotlist version 2.0
Options: encoding = utf8, version=3
Can anyone help me here??

I found the solution for those of you that have the same issue:
Go to your Main Memory then see if there is an "\Application Data\Manila" folder. If there is,...then the fix is simple.
Either rename the \Manila folder to something else
I just renamed that folder to "Manilabak" and it worked perfectly after a soft reset.
Thanks. This got rid of the Alltel bookmark for me but the Youtube bookmark is still there.

Infected with malware via chrome

Hey guys.
When I was exploring the Internet via chrome my phone has been infected. The new tab opened by itself, phone started to vibrate and page said that my phone is infected and that I should download Antivirus (but this page was similar to other pages with slogans "YOU WON 100K$ CLICK HERE etc.) so I ignored it. Now after every call (only then) Clean Master is saying that I already installed "Games " so I can delete apk file. Sometimes I press YES or sometimes I press No and sometimes it appear on desktop as game (last time it was yahoo logo) sometimes it doesn't. Clean Master Says That is malware with ".bf" extension. I tried every AV, even Avast didn't find anything. I tried also looking for this file by my self but no results (CM Antivirus also find nothing) . (gonna add name of virus for better tagging)
NAME OF VIRUS:
Android .Troj.tb_downloader.bf

I think that is ads... Btw to be safe you can always format your phone, be sure backup your data and contacts.. If you are rooted use adblocking software.. If not use browser which supports adblocking features..there are many in playstore

Ghostery is a great adblock browser

Google Drive Backup - No Backup Found

I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50

WhatsApp stickers migration from old phone and "Something went wrong"

I made a WhatsApp backup to GoogleDrive in old phone (Redmi Note 7) about 11 gb
Restored that backup into a new Redmi Note 11 (took 2-3 days due very slow ISP)
- chats restored ok
- stickers restored ok at first. But now I'm getting "Something went wrong" when I want to see stickers from a pack (see image attached)

1. In RN7 I had Wemoji App which I used to create all custom sticker packs and install to whatsapp. Could not restore this app data in the new phone, even copying manually Android/data/com.wemoji folder from old phone to new one
2. I've removed both apps, WhatsApp and Wemoji from battery saving or battery optimization in new phone's settings; then restarted phone, etc. no luck
3. I can't open WhatsApp in old phone due it detected I've moved all to new phone and 1st time wizzard shows
4. I think Whatsapp files in old phone may still be available to copy manually, but I guess it won't work by just copying:
RN7: internal_storage/WhatsApp/media/Whatsapp Stickers
to (new path since Android 11)
RN11: internal_storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/Whatsapp Stickers
There must be a database used by WhatsApp so it knows how to organize all the .webp files stored in stickers folder
Does anyone have a suggestion? I don't want to restore Google Drive backup again. Maybe some tool that can assure I'll be able to migrate stickers from old phone to new?
Thanks for any advise you may have
