I'm looking ,,I'm looking.... but maybe I'm wrong... but I thought that when you remove apps thru adb you where suppose to gain more memory.... or I'm I not removing them right... I mean its no longer in my phone but maybe it still stays somewhere internal.?.?. Anybody got any suggestion....
Thank-you in advance...

If you remove a file, you should see an increase in available storage, not necessarily memory. Like RAM vs hard drive space.
I think it's some kind of problem with how the applications and app lists are cached/stored in the phone. Because even after you remove an app via adb, a "ghost" piece of that apk will still show up in the Manage Applications menu....it's like your phone still kinda sees the app somehow even though it's gone. I think this also affects the accurate (or inaccurate, I guess) reading of internal storage too. So you probably do have more internal storage, your phone just isn't accurately showing you that. I have never figured out this issue, even with this thread that myself and a couple other people had going a couple months ago... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676818 I just learned to deal with it.

Okay, all!
I have been a lurker for a while now and y'all have been a BIG help (I am actually comfortable flashing ROMs- and I am learning the lingo - see?)
Now it’s my turn to post. I am helping a friend with her Samsung Captivate - AT&T. something happened last night (it had to have updated, because she doesn't really download anything. also - her battery started draining very quick last night. She had to turn it off for other reasons too.) And now get the "Sorry! The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close" it is in loop mode, I cannot get anywhere after unlocking the screen. The status bar doesn't work, neither do the buttons. So I can’t even get to settings. I/we are not so worried about the phone itself, but she has some holiday pictures of her brother who recently passed away on it, and didn't have an SD card in it. So, this is really my last hope.
Now you are probably saying "well, why don't you look at other threads." I did! And came up with some options on my own as well. Below is a list of what I have thought of, have found, tried and have some questions on. Please let me know if you have any other options or info, as I am her last hope. The store and repair shops are not very helpful.
I can’t tell you for sure what she is running, but it should be current stock, no mods at all.
bat pull - DONE, no change
sim card pull - DONE, no change
force DL a new launcher from PC. - DONE, can’t get it to download. It says she never downloaded anything to the phone from the mobile market. (I think this may have something to do with not have 4g and Wi-Fi not on. from what I have read)
Built in recovery mode cache wipe - DONE, no change
I installed Samsung kies, tried to plug the phone into the computer, but the PC won’t recognize the phone. I think it is in charge only mode, but I can’t access the option to change it.
P.S. debugging mode is ON.
Okay, so now what I found on here - these lead to my questions as well.
If I "wipe user data" will this wipe pictures, videos, etc. as well? I do NOT care about apps.
I found the below threads and have questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795638
Post # 2 - can I do this from the recovery screen? And will is keep the data (pictures)? I don’t care about contacts, messages, etc.
Post # 3 - cans I re flash the ROM from the SD card? (Again - NOT rooted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417244
Found and tried everything - it don' work Lucy.
I think this is all for the moment. I appreciate any and ALL help. She is to the point of tears about those pictures and I really want to bring her some good news.
edit: another try: press and hold search key for voice. - DONE. i get a connection error for voice. or an "app has stopped unexpectedly"

I would suggest doing wipe user data option. It shouldn't touch anything stored on your internal SD as you've already read elsewhere but there's always the possibility that things can go wrong. If you aren't worried about apps, text messages, and all that stuff I would also suggest looking at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 If you go that route I suggest the Odin KK4 with bootloaders as your one click option. Going the one-click route will start you over with a completely stock phone as far as the ROM goes but again shouldn't touch the internal SD.
whoa, dude. a lot of questions at once.
what rom was the phone running before you started?
you say it got updated but at&t doesn't do ota updates on cappy. they direct you to use minikies update packs, not kies. from samsung direct to pc, not ota.
Have u tried to use ADB to get the pics, etc. off the phone and copied to the pc ?

not sure what rom she was on before - didn't look at the phone until today.
i think TW Launcher updated somehow. but i could be wrong. i was checking into the problem and found out about the Kies and tried that. but couldn't get the phone to connect. (i now can SOMETIMES get the notifications down.)

I'm glad that worked out for you and her. I would suggest making a backup of the photos and then look into moving up to some more recent roms that are posted here on XDA. They will make her enjoy her phone again and she won't have to deal with Touchwiz anymore lol

Hey everyone,
I'm getting this error when I try to switch on my LG 4XHD.
"Security Error
Error !!! Read morningcall"
To give you a background, I actually happened to drop my phone on a very rough and uneven concrete surface, screen-first. This developed cracks on the glass, but everything else was perfectly normal (the touch sensitivity, screen, camera, etc.) so I stopped using the phone and removed the SIM card until I could get the glass replaced. But a few days ago I switched it on (without the SIM card) just to make sure everything was still OK and also turned on the WiFi. I then went into Google Chrome and tried to open google.com, but my phone hung up, so I had to remove the battery and start the phone again, and that is when I started getting this error. Since then I've been getting this error whenever I try to switch on the phone and it does'nt get past that, not even allowing me to switch it off.
There is a lot of important data in the internal storage of which I would like to take a backup before doing anything.
Can someone please help me fix my phone?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance...

One more thing that happened before it hung up is that Whatsapp gave an error saying the date was incorrect and also the Onavo data monitoring app said I used up 325% of 3G my data. Just wanted to mention these in case there are any known bugs related to these.

I think you would not be able to make any backup now ( I personally had this morning call problem as well but it was because of some other problems) the only thing that you can do is restart in software update mode and re flash with LG Flash Tool. You can find the thread named under "Rollback to ICS by SnXo.
I hope it can help you and don't forget to thank him for his post.

Sad to know I cant backup my files now. But, nevertheless, thanks a lot for the reply and suggestion...
So I noticed on Friday every app (Discord/Signal/Twitter/etc) that used WebViewer was crashing and wouldn't open. I traced it down to the Chrome app and disabled the Chrome app on the phone and everything worked. However, I wasn't able to uninstall or install the latest version of Chrome on the phone, even after re-enabling the app. Not a problem I thought, I'll just Restore from a Titanium backup. However when I did it put the phone into a boot loop. Crap, I'll restore from a Nandroid backup. Nope same thing. So I wiped the System/Dalvik/cache and downloaded the full Rom from OnePlus's website and did a fresh Flash. Same thing. If I try to Format the phone all way it freezes on the data and then goes into a dead android state.
Does anyone have any ideas? Preferably I would like to avoid wiping the phone to zero, but if I have to I have to. If it comes to that, does anyone have a good Rom recommendation for just playing games and taking calls?

Suggestions for what?
Unfortunately these signs you described are leading to memory chip failure (sudden death, hang on formatting data).
If you could boot into TWRP, I'd suggest backing data up to your PC, as much as possbile.
You may try your luck with an unbrick tutorial (without or with data wipe).

Yeah TWRP isn't an issue. That I can get into and it is my fault that I should have mentioned that I have already tried the unbrick methods.
I guess I was hoping that it really hadn't fallen to a hardware failure and more along the lines of something I did. I'll be honest in saying that I was really hoping there was a bit of knowldege that I was missing or that somebody would just be like "Nope, I've run into this before. Go in and change this flag from 1 to 0 and do this step you overlooked.".
Either way thank you for your time and responses and many thanks for taking time out to respond back to me.

Hi All
Ever since the last update end of July I have been getting the transparent pop up in the middle of my screen "Failed sending messages (Error: General Error)" its on random times, not even sending a msg. I have cleared cache partion
And also done a factory restore.
this is at complete random times even when im on the home screen, the note still works as normal too, or rather i haven't had any other issues yet, apart from that pop up.
I can't find anything or what apps causing the issue.
If anyone can assist would be awesome.

I've had the same issue on my unlocked Note 8 with T-Mobile service in southern California. Prior to this, I used to get some other error (I think it was regarding connection) but neither error notification appears to affect the phone's performance.
