I may have a Virus

I just noticed that the memory (internal and sd) has been reducing at a very fast pace. After some poking around I am finding thousands of files with a name similar to- token1282972226926. They are just labeled as file and have varying file sizes from 1-2000 kb.
They seem to be related to the htc mail program. I am finding them in .mail on sd card, and /data/data/com.htc.android.mail/app_mail. The files in internal storage do not have the word token attached, just the numerical value. It also has a file labeled with boxes and question marks(ascii type characters).
The system seems to be writing files 2-20 times per hour on average but probably more. I have noticed a process named zygote using a considerable amount of battery power in spare parts.
Any info or ideas on how to rid myself of this problem with out wipe, would be appreciated.
Thanks
ST
I am using fresh 2.4, updated using freshupdater from 2.3 on launch day non branded hero. This has been going on since the 16th. I do have some files that I have not erased from then and some from today.

Zygote is a standard system process. The file thing I couldn't tell u.

I read about the zygote process and somehow I interpreted that it would used during development and later removed. Quote from andriod developers
"This class is deprecated.
this is an internal Dalvik class that is not appropriate for general use. It will be removed from the public API in a future release. "
I have a very limited understanding of all this and don't recall seeing that process before.

[2.1+] SwitchMe - Share Your Device [MULTIPLE USER SPACES]

MOD EDIT: links removed
Another Android first from Fahrbot Mobile
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
E-reading - whenever you want to read on your tablet but dont want any notifications or need any connectivity, just switch to an ereader profile.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Usage warning
Its critical to understand that incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. This can happen if you create and switch to a profile that
exceeds the available memory – switching into this profile will cause a boot loop as Android attempts to unsuccessfully build the Dalvik cache.
Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through recovery.

Seems neat, can you use the same version of Android with multiple profiles?

Yes... isn't that what it says?

So it is a lot like BootManager? Only hopefully works well and doesnt have tons of bugs

No its nothing like bootmanager.

Hi, first thanks a lot for this app, was looking for something like this a while.
My question is,
i create two accounts, as tell by the help.
One is my main OS, CM7, nightly 181, glitch 13.1
The other account i just see like four hundred kb memory used. if i reboot with this account i get a boot loop only solved by nandroid restore.
What am i doing wrong?
Enviado desde mi GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk

I don't know, its probably something to do with SD links to apps, or just sme weird crazy from the nightly. Works fine on all our cm7 and 9 builds at the office.
By the way, tried the TASK from for 10.1 - it worked fine! So your issues are probably from the mods and other crap. But while you're there, ask yourself, what kind of nutjob would want a grey framework on a tablet like this? Just ditch it for something cool like KANG or at least that Overcome!

I was just double checking...

Any issues to report?

1.0.10 - this release is aimed at increasing compatibility, if your device was not supported before for some reason, please use the new logging function to let us know why!
Improved logging, added ability to send logs even from incompatible devices
Reworked native switch code - it is now faster and much more stable on all architectures
Added new notification graphics for all screen resolutions

Any issues to report? Did the last version help those who could not fast switch?

i have jus tried on my kindle, and it works. now ill have to re root it to switch back

This is very cool! I had to pull my battery on the first restart though. My boot animation was up for over 30 minutes. Pulled the battery and it booted right into the second profile.
Unlike the above post, I did not need to reroot. I'm assuming it's just because my ROM is rooted already.
Please excuse my ignorance, I try to avoid flashing as much as possible, but how would I go about installing a different ROM onto just one profile?
Thanks for this nice app! I will actually use it!
EDIT:
Things I noticed:
-On my first swap back into my default profile, I had no vibration! No apps, ringer, notifications, or anything at all. I messed with my settings but it would not vibrate until I restarted.
-This might sound crazy, but I actually think this improved my boot speed. I am running a Droid Charge with Humble 5.0. It wasn't slow before, and maybe it's in my head, but it seems really fast! (I don't have fast swap enabled either)

You will only loose root if it was installed outside /system with a different name... since 1.0.8 the app copies the binary as well, so that should not be happening. Let me know if it still is please!

Works fine for me! Bought the pro version as this is really very handy - and cheap!

The only real issues so far have been with MIUI... almost everything else should work fine.

I enabled fast switch, and I am very impressed with it! I can switch to my second profile in about 15-20 seconds.
It works great on Droid Charge running Humble 5.0 (2.3.6)
One thing I noticed is that I need to configure my account settings on both profiles, or it messes up my normal profile. Because I am not logged in to my google account on the second, it got rid of all my contacts on the first, and had some verification issues when I tried to buy apps, and with google voice. It also changed my keyboard. None of these are huge issues, you just need to reconcile these differences between the profiles.

Does it work for all Android ?

[Tweak][4/16/12] Better GPS configuration (U.S. Only)

***Update***
I simplified it down eliminating what I wasn't using apparently and it works a million times better. This is pretty much the stock config but I added wifi location option and a supplemental server from google. Installing is just the same.
I've searched around compiling pretty much every little bit of code to make this better. I take no credit for the stuff you see I just want to share my find.
Thanks to cmlusco and the Warm Team for getting me into tweaking this stuff and the base file.
I've included a stock gps config for anyone who doesn't like it.
Improvements:
1. I get better indoor lock now
2. I get a fast fix ~5secs
3. Accuracy is off by about 1500 meters (network only)
4. With GPS on I get a pretty much instant fix
5. Accuracy with GPS on is within 25 feet for me.
Install instructions:
7-zip method (Preflashing)
1. Use 7zip to "open archive" the rom zip
2. Navigate to the system/etc/ folder
3. right click the gps.conf file and click edit.
4. Open the included mod with notepad and copy and paste the text over the old text.
5. Close the file up saving it and allowing 7zip to include the changes.
6. Flash and be happy.
OR Root Browser method (postflash)
1. Place the gps mod on your sdcard
2. Move it to the system/etc/ folder
3. Paste it in allowing it to overwrite the file there.
4. Profit.
OR Flashable zip

**Devs, feel free to use this in a rom!

So, uh, what are you modding and what are the effects? My Inc gets a GPS lock in less than 10 sec normally. Warmed up with fresh aGPS data will kick in less than 5 seconds most of the time.
What kind of improvements are you getting with these tweaks? Faster kicks, higher accuracy, something else? Better indoor reception?

Check the OP I'll update it, I knew I was forgetting something

Is this that much better than the stock config?

In my opinion yes, this even includes the original config in the mod. I find that these configs can vary with people's location.
Say for instance, I live in a rural area with few towers and not the best signal. I needed the gps boost.
If you live in a city like NYC, Atlanta, etc... you may not need this due to your phone's ability to track your locale better.
The one thing I did find though, was with this I could get proper location updates inside or outside. The stock one took 30+ seconds to find me sometimes regardless of location.

Just went to replace and compared the changes to the gps.conf currently on my installed MIUI rom and yours is identical to it?

I didn't check miui but I used warm 2.3 as the base and tweaked it for my phone. I just wanted to have one consistent thread for gps edits

Can someone confirm that this helps?

I did this on MIUI and it actually made it worse, so like op says results may vary.

Used on Nils ROM and it works fine. It was accurate (used it on a 40 minute drive today), however, I never had problems with GPS accuracy in the past. My main issue with GPS is over time it takes a while (sometimes over a minute) to get a solid lock. I'll keep testing to see if this helps with that.
Things that have always worked for me to get a quick lock: 1) wipe dalvik (first GPS run after a wipe is always almost an insta-lock), 2) download GPS Status app and reset GPS through the tools option.
If I don't have to go through these steps then I'll say this is a great tweak but I really won't be able to tell until I can test further but it hasn't made anything worse on my Gingersense ROM.
Edit: I would advise saving your original file somewhere so you can revert back easily if this does bork something. Faster than doing a nandroid restore.

Hey, thanks for that! Unfortunate its not that much of an improvement... He did include a stock gps config in the zip for easy restore however.

I'm really not sure if it made things worse, better or the same. I'll keep using it and see

True. Although I wasn't sure if his "stock" matched mine exactly so I decided it was easier to copy my own file. Also I changed the permissions to match the stock file, not sure if that helped.
Tested GPS on the way to work and it locked in about 10 seconds. Will update if it slows down any. Still accurate within a few feet.

Well that certainly speeds things up... 3 meters indoors in 7 seconds from a cold start. Nice job on the tweak!
Thanks

I have a question, what encoding or language is this mod in? The gps.conf file should be plain text, unix format, and ansi encoding. But when i open it it is unreadable, just a bunch of characters. Putting this file on your phone as it is essentialy bypasses using the gps.conf file and defaults to using the android os's default settings. A correct gps.conf file would look like this http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/gps.conf.

Looked fine to me. All plain text. Unzipped it and checked both files in notepad.

In notepad it does look fine, but if you open it with the android text viewer (how the phone will see it), it is all garbled. Notepad should never be used to edit an android file, it leaves unknown characters, and can change the files encoding. The file in the op is in pc format whith ansi encoding, it should be unix format ansi encoding.

No garbled text when opened with ES note editor either.
Strange...try this.

[APP][WINDOWS]ZOE Repair Tool

So maybe it's just me, but I've been taken off guard by the wipe features on the HTC One clearing /sdcard along with the usual user data a few times. It's a bit of a struggle to find your "happy place" after remembering a couple minutes too late that the bootloader unlock actually erases the media storage too...so much for that nandroid backup you made just in case
Luckily, these phones come with all sorts of backup options right out of the box - but these (DropBox image backup specifically) have a few "quirks" that don't really work in our favor. One that especially ground my gears was the fact that dropbox doesn't play nice with the ZOE's filename-based groupings. So now those 12 ZOE shots you had now show up as 252 individual files. Neat.
So, since I'm overall a very lazy person it's safe to assume I had little to no interest in manually renaming each and every one of these files to make my Zoe collections work again. Ain't nobody got time for that. That's exactly what I made this tool to do for me, because hastily writing a few lines of code sounded way more appealing than fixing all those files just hitting the delete key.
Now, I can't reiterate enough that I'm really lazy. That being said, this tool is poorly written. I even decided that it was easier to simply disable the ability to minimize it rather than bother messing with a crash bug related to that option. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of ways to make this program crash horribly.
So without further ado: I made a thingy, and I'm sharing this thingy that I made with you. In case you're stupid about backing up your media storage, like me.
DISCLAIMER: I AM AN AWFUL PROGRAMMER AND I PUT VERY LITTLE TIME OR EFFORT INTO THIS. I ALSO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE COAUTHORED THIS WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A BOTTLE OF VODKA. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, MAKE BACKUPS, AND GENERALLY JUST BE READY FOR DISAPPOINTMENT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THIS APPLICATION MAY OR MAY NOT DO.
Using this app is pretty simple.
1) Copy your defiled Zoe images to a new folder (I can't promise you that this thing won't screw up, so make sure to work with COPIES of the files!). I didn't trust this with my original backups and neither should you!
2) Open the application and choose the directory that you copied the files to.
3) All the JPG files in that folder will be listed in the upper list, these may or may not be in correct order because the backup function doesn't even name them in a way that always sorts correctly. Focus on one Zoe at a time and use the arrows to put the files from that set in the correct order.
4) Use Ctrl/Shift+Click to select all 20 images from that Zoe's set.
5) Once you've selected 20, the app will try to guess which MP4 file to choose in the box below. This feature is super basic, make sure to double check that it has selected the correct file, correct this selection as necessary.
6) Look in your phone's /DCIM/100media folder to see how high the file numbering goes for the images on your phone. There's a box on the application bottom-right to fill in a number. Type in a number that is NOT already associated with another image on your phone.
7) If everything is selected correctly, the "Rebuild my ZOE" button should become usable. Click it. It should (hopefully) tell you that it has finished working on the selected files.
8) Move the newly renamed IMAGXXXX_ZOEXXX files back onto your phone's internal storage.
9) Rinse and repeat until all your files are renamed appropriately to be recognized as ZOEs.
PS - This application was was written in VB2012 using the .net framework 4.5, if you get errors starting it, make sure you have this framework installed. Source code is available upon request if anyone actually wants to put time into making this suck less, but for me it's "good enough".

Looks very handy.. Thanks

I'm glad you guys found this useful
I'm twice as glad that HTC changed the way the Zoes are saved in the new software release :good:

[Q] Security question Folder Moment.me?????

I have noticed that I have folder when cleaning cache by clean master with name Moment.me. I did run a full system scan using CM Security and nothing was found.
To explain this matter more in detail. When I open my bank app somewhat is creating an folder in emulated storage by name imagecache. Then when I scan cache using clean master, clean master is telling me that that folder is from uninstalled app from moment.me which I never had anyway. And this is only when I access my bank app. It's like it some kind of logger or trying to be a logger, by either keylogging or image capture cache something like that. I searched all Google to see what comes when typing Moment.me. Can somebody tell me what this is. It doesn't feel good knowing this. Second isn't uninstalled app being deleted from Android all the way. How can there be a left over and if no app. Who creates image cache folder? Which app does that when accessing bank app. And that antivirus doesn't recognize this stuff but recognize which app did that which was never installed in first place. Tell me what you know. Tnx
P.s I'm using stock lg l90 never rooted. Its on KitKat 4.4.2 have no shady app installed on my phone except that I tried yesterday opera max, some onvo data limiter not sure about exactly onvo but something like that and some other data limiter software. I think its with first in search. Blue icon. Please help

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
