try deleting pictures

Comeon buddy, thats gonna take me ages to finish with about 1500 contacts... Is there no automatic method to achieve this???

im pretty sure most pictures are saved in some folder, if you find that folder you can delte all the thumbils, or just try looking for a contact backup that makes a txt file backup and then there wont be pictures

Searched every where but couldn't find any folder where the thumbnails are stored. Still stuck with the same problem...

MusicMod Thread?

Hi all. Just installed Serendipity! I am loving musicmod, but can't seem to get it to read the internal music folder structure properly. Did some searching...but...would anyone have a link to an appropriate thread?

Sorry for not supplying enough info. Here's the issue.
PowerAmp "Albums" tab can read /mnt/sdcard/music exactly the way the subfolders are structured. Songs and album folders are in order and complete.
MusicMod "Albums" tab shows split album folders and duplicate songs.
Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.

Ok...somehow the tags got screwed up. Now I have to figure out why some can be edited, and some cannot. Back to work!

REMEMBER Turn on Wi-Fi

This is mainly common sense, but it DOES happen.(just did!) Don't forget to turn on and connect Wi-Fi (if you have access) before starting Titanium Backup after a ROM flash. Just thought I would share my "woops"!
why do you think this is necessary?
TitaniumBackup restores from LOCAL files. The network doesnt have anything to do with it.
Do you mean like games and redownloading data for game... You might want to give a little more detail cause as recently said the information is saved on as

Then again, could be wrong.. Need more info OP!?
Ehh. Someone ...

Ok. Guess I should have thought about the "local" data. Can a mod please delete this as not to confuse anyone. Sorry

Network Backup App

I was wondering if anybody has seen or wanted to build an app that would allow you to do system backup, and allow individual folders to be selected, then transfer them to ftp/sftp address on a schedulable time. Maybe even after it was done, send an email/alert that it was successful/failed.
I looked and there was really nothing around like this...
I wish I could program, make a few bucks off it!

Also, Titanium (non media) Backup will allow you to make a backup to your dropbox account

I think you need stock Rom to save contacts to SIM or there might be an app for it. Not sure.

There is option to import contacts to sim
^ Import means bringing in from outside. I dont think you can do vice versa in Non-stock based custom roms. Again- Not sure.
Just login to google account from pc, go to contacts, and delete them. And disable syncing. After that clear contacts data, and restore contacts from sd card
Yes. www.google.com/contacts/
I also had that problem. Log into your Google account via PC (as yackovsky already said) and just merge duplicates.
I also had the same problem i had around 6-7 same contacts then i use go sms pro and batcg deleted all .It took me almost one hour to do as i was having around 4000 contacts

Wallpaper and music help

So I downloaded some wallpapers from my drop box and some music but it didn't do up in my gallery or my music in the player. I downloaded es file explorer and I could see them there but I can't seem to find them in the apps..anyone having this problem? And how could I fix
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You could just move them with es file explorer in to another folder that the apps do see.
Tried that..still doesn't work

Same issue happened to me bro. I had no idea how to fix it. No one knew how to fix it either. Hadto reset my phone and resetting with back up gives to same result. Had to use NO back up. Kept the media files though. Try going in to sdcard/android/data and see if there is a nomedia file in there. Delete if its present. Do it from the computer or enable hidden files in whatever file explorer you use. Report here if it works. I was never able to try it.

Ok so the pictures I figured out that you have to show all albums in the gallery..one downfall is that the gallery will show everything from drop box to Facebook..music I'm going to figure it
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Just realized in the gallery app you can customize what the gallery shows..don't forget to hit all pictures
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Well looks like you got an easy fix. wouldn't work for me. Mine just would not work. Whether I looked in all pictures or downloads they wouldn't appear. Quickpic could see them but not camera or gallery. Ah well doesn't do it anymore now. just hope it doesn't happen again and I have to reset once more.
