In \system\app directory what is functionality (purpose) of the "DataCreate.apk"
what does it do?
what is the result of removing it?
before saying anything about searching read the below statement:
I've searched in google, XDA and other forums about this apk but none seemed to know what is it so I am going to ask here.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Inside the apk there is a sound file inside res/raw called mp3_1khz.mp3 which has very annoying sound any idea why does the app need this?
EDIT2: link to the mp3 file I was talking about http://www.mediafire.com/?2zay7j6xrlfyjs1
WARNING: The file is really annoying
Request: if the file is important can someone delete that sound file from the apk and re-upload it (JVH deodexed )
Google is watching us ? what the hell and why is there such a sound file in this ap p.... i delete it.... For me it is google spy ...

I deleted now and I am going to report if there are any negative consensuses
don't think that it is use (spying on us)
Ok
In first reboot (phone rebooted it self)
Second reboot (Email crashed)
EDIT: Doing some reboots and dalvik cache cleaning to see what will happen.
EDIT2: It seems that its needed for phone without it phone will reboot itself.
I though someone knew about this apk so I posted here.
I found what I wanted to know so this thread is officially CLOSED.
Conclusion for future reference this file is necessary for EACH boot.
However I could delete the annoying mp3 file which is 1.8mb by using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681633
It's from Samsung. Have a look into classes.dex, there are lots of sample contacts (near the end of it). There are references to samsungtest. Maybe this app can be used to create demo or test data.
Hi all..I recently flashed XLA6 (russian) my original ROM was XKL3 using CWM and rooted.. After that i was experimenting with germay, again with Indian DDL5 and again XKL3 and finally settled with XLA6. After doing all these.. I noticed that my gallery shows empty even though i have images and videos in my built memory. Picture gallery shows only bluetooth recieved files not copied from PC files. What could be the reason?
Please apologize if this was discussed earlier. I couldn't find similar thread like this..oz column shows only five similar threads.

Option 1. Restart Device
Option 2. Copy all contents to PC and again copy it to Device
I tried restarting it.. May be i shud re transfer the files..
Rescan your media. That should do it. There is an app for that in the Market.

A tip is to use another gallery than the one provided with the Stock. Quick gallery on the market works very well and is immensely quicker especially if you have a lot of pictures. To increase your speed on the external SD-card (if you have one), you may try SD-Boost from the market.
Problem solved once re format the internal and copied the files again.. It seems after flasshing rom it didn't recognise the folder created by older rom.. Is that the fact?
Hi all
My rooted 7inch HD updated OTA yesterday and became unrooted.
I got it back to root no problem, and reinstalled Play. The first thing I did was disable OTA.
I then noticed that Synker, an app I use to synch the stock address book with my Google contacts didn't work so I went through the disabled OTA one by one and even after enabling them all, I still couldn't synch. My phone syncs ok with G Contacts so it must be the HD.
I uninstalled Synker and reinstalled it, but found that I can't create the widget to run it. I previously followed the steps in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
to enable widgets on ADW launcher and so tried again.
Despite following the steps, I cannot create widgets, previously, it was a breeze. The instructions say to copy appwidgetpicker to system/app and though I do that, and get a confirmation message, I find it in /system instead. Is that correct? For my own development, can someone explain why confirmation is given that the file has copied but it copies into a different folder?
Does anyone know of any reason why the update should prevent widgets being created as per the above post and is there another way?
I'm considering restoring to 7.2.3 but because of the time involved thought I'd give it another go to recover the situation.
(I tried to make this post at the end of the above thread or a similar one but being noob am not allowed to post in development threads. Mods can move this to a more appropriate forum if they wish.)
No one else noticed problems moving files into the system/app folder?
It apparently now puts the files in one folder back than you attempt to according to an earlier post, try making a folder in system/app called test and placing it there, if the post was right it will place it in the app folder instead of temp, the post also read that it changed the file name'so check that as well..

strangely enough, that's correct. It also puts the folder name at the front of the file name, so filename.apk in the app folder becomes appfoldername.apk. That bit was especially confusing becase the file appwidgetpicker.apk became appappwidgetpicker.apk. I thought the 'app' at the front was because it was an app, but it was because it was in the app folder!
Creating a sub folder in system/apps sorted it out because the file went in that folder rather than the sub folder. After that it was a simple case of renaming back to the original name and changing permissions and all sorted.
Wonder why thats happening. If its an attempt at frustrating rooted devices its a bit soft.
Thanks for the pointer. Kudos to you
So when i change rom to ressurection remix (on cm i had same problem) i notice that my picture thumbnails in every single one gallery are disappearing. i can view them (sometimes not...) but when i browsing folders some thumbanils are showing but then they disappearing. Only restart of phone help but only for few pics. What do ? its not about pics cause on new photos, thumbnails missing too.
Maybe it's the same issue I had, this fixed it:

It the app that scans for media and creates the thumbnails. Sorry, I don't have CM13 installed anymore, I think the app name is Media Server, you can check it using Link2SD.
I had the same folders as you, and it fixed the problem I had (lots of missing thumbnails). You may want to delete this too, it's the music album covers, not in the gallery:
/sdcard/Android/com.android.providers.media/
Hello people it's just to report and see if any of you have faced a skmilar problem and how To solve it.
The main problem is that all files pdfs, jpgs or any other that are sent to me via WhatsApp it's impossible to open with any app. All apps say the file is corrupted or something like that. The same happens with Edison Mail (app) I use it to have all my mails synced, but the same happens all mails that contain attached files are imposible to open the external apps to open pdf or image files say it's impossible or file corrupted.
Nevertheless, and the main thing is that those files are NOT CORRUPTED whatsoever, if I look for the files on the internal storage and open them with any of the apps that said that the same files were corrupted, the files open without any problem.
I was going to reinstall WhatsApp, but in the end I didn't because it's really time consuming to make a backup and because I realized it was happening with other apps (probably with others I haven't come across).
I have checked permissions, disabled /enabled them but with no luck.
Any thoughts or similar experiences? Any workaround?

This problem isnt occuring for me. It opens for me fine. Maybe it could be an issue with the pdf reader?
What do you mean when you say, it is impossible to open pdfs in external apps?
Im assuming you have tried different pdf apps as well? Try opening the file from the pdf app itself, as in navigating to the file from inside the pdf app, rather than opening it directly in whatsapp.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
If I open the files directly from the pdf reader (I've used several, acrobat, xodo, drive, onedrive, etc) or opening the files from a file explorer (solid explorer, xiaomi file explorer) they open, they are not corrupted.
The problem is when I tap on the attached file on the whatsapp chat or on the edison mail (app) The prompt to select an app to open the file shows up but no matter which one I select it will FC or say the file is unreadable or corruupted (depending the app). That is why I believed the problem was regarding some permissions in whatsapp or edison mail, but I've enabled and disabled them with no avail.
If you google this problem, hilariously you can find a very similar one on an Adobe forum but of course there's no solution because the adobe won't provide a solution that is not directly caused by their apps. The only good comment there is that apparently it's an andorid 11 problem on MIUI devices.
Some mention to disable MIUI optimizations, which I've already tried enabling and disabling because I usually have them disabled.

Yes, it certainly seems like an miui problem or the A11 problem. Okay, do one thing, try opening the pdf file via chrome browser, or any other app, maybe gmail app.
Also, before you do that, download matlog to log what happens, maybe we can try pin pointing the issue.
If its just an app thing, then maybe reinstalling should fix it. But i doubt it is. And the only real possibility seems like reinstalling the rom.
Heres a suggestion, since we dont have twrp yet.
Download the latest full rom, a few issues happened to me earlier, when i installed miui in one of the incremental updates.
So, what i did was, downloaded the entire recovery rom (not fastboot) and just updated the system via system update by locally installing it.
Just google how to local upgrade on miui if you're not clear about it. As i wasn't since this is my first miui phone.
This would essentially dirty flash a stock rom, and should iron out any issues without having to reset the phone.
Is your MIUI optimisation option disabled in the developers options? If so, try enabling it and try to open the files again.

Here are the logs. Actually by doing so, I discovered that also sharing a zip file from the matlog to any app to upload or share it (whatsapp, gdrive, onedrive, etc.) also resulted in an similar error (this part is not included on the logs).
The logs include trying to open one file in two different apps. Gdrive pdf reader and Xodo.

Actually I hadn't tried that, Just did and leaving MIUI Optimizations enabled makes the problem disappear, in fact, the promt to select the app to open the file is different.
But what if I want to leave MIUI Optimizations disabled?

I don't think there's a solution for this. I think the best workaround for this problem would be switching to Xiaomi.eu rom (since they have MIUI optimisiation disabled by default) but it's still not released yet.
I could be wrong though.

Im assuming the miui has its own code for the app selector and the underlying android 11 app selector code is disabled. Probably to speed up the process of switching apps. Maybe if there is a way if you can enable the original android 11 code for it then you could disable the miui optimization setting. But then, if this is just for the app selector, there could be other underlying issues, that you might have not have experienced yet where miui uses its own implementation and has disabled the original android implementation. I wouldnt recommend that unless you decide to switch roms to the EU version for this specific issue like @brzi6 mentioned but i think theres no point as it could cause other location based hassles.
Firstly, miui optimization is garbage anyway.
Secondly, the problem is with app permissions. If you can get your pdf viewer of choice to have access to your file system then all will be well.
