[Q] Where are the files going? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi guys, I was showing my friend the CM ROM and he was very excited by it and wanted it for himself.
I rooted his phone with ODIN and flashed latest CWM. Then I downloaded one of the CM nightlies, put it on his phone with GAPPS and then proceeded to CWM.
I did wipe data, flash CM, flash GAPPS, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then rebooted.
CM has installed completely fine, but my issue is NONE of his original files can be located on the phone, I thought the internal sdcard wasn't touched during flashing ROMS?
In old versions of CWM, a '0' folder was made, but I can't find one on the phone anywhere, it's as if the files have just disappeared from the phone's visibility, and they are still on the phone because restoring to a previous nandroid backup showed them again and then when we reflashed and they were still gone, I checked under storage and despite the different categories totalling a small file size, there was still only 3GB left stored on the phone (same before flashing of CM).
Does anyone know how to access these files? For the record, Gallery won't show any of the other albums.

that's the way CM10.1 works, you can't access the files from the ROM. Pull them via adb or use an aroma file manager. or flash 4.1

[Q] Adding gapps to Droid 1 with CM6

I finally made the jump and rooted my Droid 1 today and installed CM6. I had issues with Rom Manger giving me an error when trying to download CM6 with Google Apps, so I downloaded the ROM from the web and installed it manually. Works like a charm.
I tried to go back to ROM Manager and just install Google Apps, but it keeps giving me an error during downloading.
I still need the Google Apps installed... I have downloaded the zip and moved it to my SD card, but can't figure out how to flash it. (been searching the past hour for an answer) I have gone to recovery mode but it looks like that is only to update ROMs (update.zip) am I missing something easy here?
Thanks

It depends on what Recovery image you are using. For some reason ROM Manager gets a bad CRC or other error when downloading the GApps addon update zip. Don't know why. However if you get the latest file directly from the CyanogenMod site (hardware appropriate of course) you can install it from the recovery screen.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 and it allows you to specify a .zip of any name and directory on the SD-card (you have to mount it first). I'm not sure if normal SPRecovery allows for that. Make no mistake, installing the GApps is basically a ROM update, as it installs them to the System apps folder (which is essentially read only).
One thing to note once you get it installed. Sometimes you get issues with updating the ROM's apps (including GApps). This was notoriously noticed with the new Car Home and the new YouTube apps. In order to fix it, you have to use RootExplorer, TitaniumBackup or another SuperUser enabled browser or app manager to forcefully remove the system app, then get the updated app from the Market.
I hope that helps.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 but didn't see a menu item for installing zip files. I ended up renaming the Gapps file to Update.zip and flashed it in recovery mode. Worked like a charm.
Thanks
Do any of you have this error itself?
I'd like to see if I could make sense of it. Back when I installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 on my new phone, about 2 weeks ago, I was able to install it with GApps with no problem.

System Clean Out

My issue is that when i first started to root then flash my phone i didnt read enough and i got it wrong.... i now have files in all different types of directories many different update.zip files and have successfully installed many more kernels and ROMS numerous apps and themes. but now i have files / folders and apk files every where! what i would like to know is what files / folders are safe to remove. what is the best way to remove all the **** without having to re-install clockwork recovery (as it has saved me so many times) so i dont mind if i have to delete everything but i need the recovery console to stay. i just want to get rid of anything not being used or left over from old installs. thanks & thanks

It should not be a problem, but to be 100% sure, first i'll check why the Bcombo fix doesn't work on your phone.

[Q] what is update.zip in titanium backup app..?

Hi guys..
Can someone explain to me in detail ref: Titanium Backup, what is update.zip function..what is it & what does it do..??
I read somewhere it can be used to create a zip file of your backup apps.. in your next flash you can flash the update.zip in order to restore your apps from "cwm recovery"..!!
Thanks for any help or better tips/solutions..!!
It creates an unsigned update.zip file for installing TB in recovery mode.

So is it only for installing TB..!!
"Is it possible to create a zip file with all my apps which I can restore from recovery mode"..??
It's only tb. App u flash with cwm,but do a nandroid backup and tb. can extract and restore from your nandroid.quite easy
When u make a tb.zip then use titaniumbackup.zip name,so it's easy to locate and flash.
U use this when u wipe and instal new rom.
Btw.if u extract your rom using root explorer u can modify,delete/add apps and kernel,everything to your liking,then zip it with rootexplorer and flash in cwm.then it's only a few apps u have to restore depends on how many apps u have installed.
Remember if this file doesn't exist then create it and put your 3' apps in there

Can you explain more clearly..I'm confused on what you said about make tb.zip..(how)..?
So do I make zip > use update.zip function..??
Open settings in tb. There is an option to make a "update.zip" of tb. This one u can flash from cwm,but its only needed to flash when u wipe your phone and it's only tb. App that is restored,the rest of your missing apps u restore from tb.
In tb. settings there is also an option to extract your nandroid backup(of cause u got 1) and restore apps from that.
About "root explorer". read a bit more on how to add and remove things from roms u downloaded.even though it's quite easy to do
@Zodiaxe.. Many thanks cleared up my confusion..
The update.zip is only used for tb..!!
I was hoping there would be a method whereby all my apps could be compressed in one zip file, which I can then flash in cwm to "restore" all my apps..
I hate the tiring method of restoring them manually..!!
Yeah I know what u mean.its a drag,LOL
but buy the premium its worth the money.
When u restore in premium u select the apps(as in free) but it's then 1-click restore and tb. do the rest.and a whole lot nice features comes with the premium

Btw. I think what u are looking for is APP2ZIP try search play store.don't know if sgs‘s is supported.
Thanks mate.. Have been very helpful..!!
I will have a look at that app, many thanks again.
What exactly is an update.zip file used for? I know I had to run it when I flashed AOKP to my Droid Inc. It was in the instructions to do so, but I was not completely sure what I was doing at that exact step of the process.
Also, I have TB (Premium). I use it to back up all system data and user apps. I have never needed it to restore any data, but I am sure I will in the future. This is mainly because I flashed AOKP M5 to my Galaxy Nexus a little over 2 weeks ago and have not looked back.
My last question at the moment is this. If I wipe/clear cache, clear dalvik cache and wipe user data (factory reset) how does my TB data stay in tact exactly?

This is a general explanation of update zip
There are several ways to install applications or library
files to an Android Phone . You can use Market application
to find and install or adb command line tool to install or
push the files to Android file system. These are all easy to
implement for single file but if you have several
applications or library files to install at once, it might be
better to use update zip file. The update zip file is Android
advanced system to install applications or lib files to
Android file system using recovery tool. This method is
commonly used by rom or theme developers to distribute
their package.
Hope that makes sense
Answer to your last question all data saved in TB will stay in tact..so when you flash you can restore apps & data nothing will be lost (as long as you don't format sd card)

It definitely makes more sense now, but I am not quite there yet. Are you saying that update.zip file is just one option and that using TB would be an alternate to using update.zip file?
As far as your explanation on the TB file staying in tact, that makes sense. Thank you.
-Kris
If you go back read first few posts..
In tb the update.zip function used to restore tb only from cwm.. Or you can create an update.zip in order to restore/update something in your rom (as in your case when you installed aokp you also flashed update zip)
An update.zip is flashable file, this can be a rom, theme or apps.
there is a update.zip on your SD-card, this is your costum recovery(cwm) do not remove or rename this file
No, clearing cache or dalvik cache nor factory reset will affect TB. or it's data.
And wipe cache + dalvik is a good thing to do once in a while.
Factory reset is is done i u flash a new rom or have trouble with your phone, lag,slow or other problems
Usually this is caused by some app or settings. Then do a factory reset,if u can't find the problem

But can update.zip file be created where all my apps are inside or compressed inside..??
So when I flash new rom can I flash that update.zip file (after renaming it) in order to restore my apps..?? "Yes I'm aware of tb batch one click restore..
No, not with TB but u can extract and restore apps from your cwm(nandroid) backups.
check out the APP2ZIP,that can do do exactly what u are looking for,make a flashable zip with your apps and settings.u can find it here on xda and in play store.
regarding on the topic
Im just newbie on android and i have intentionally delete the folder App on my system files thinking that it was just a back up file
and my android phone just stock on boot up!
I have to same android phone
rooted
is it possible to make an TB update zip containing the system app on my other android phone and
flash it on the broken one using the CWM?
No. It isn't that simple. While you could install titanium backup with the update . zip the phone still won't boot. And you need a running system to even start tb.
So you would need the Rom you were using. Flash that first and flash the tb update.zip afterwards. Then you will get a rom with tb already installed.
From there you can start to restore apps you hopefully have backed up before...

Yes.. It's all there as long as you don't wipe or format sd card. (tb data folder)

Reviving this to add that last month tb added support for update.zip which holds all backups.
Theres 2 now:
1. settings > update.zip is a flashable zip with only tb
2. batch > recovery update.zip is a flashable zip with all backups
Everyone should be using one of these two methods to ensure u have the latest tb to restore from (since roms are always out of date), or to restore everything straight in recovery.

Q&A for CM10 roms on the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g (n00b friendly)

OK so I know how crowded some of the forums have gotten, so I made this, for every question asked here I will update the op and next three posts with all the questions and answers. Basically I am trying to get ring of having to search hundreds of pages for an answer. So please be kind here.

[Q] One thing I noticed is that now my connection shows as 3G instead of 4G. Do I really have a problem with my data connection or does this ROM exposes T-Mobile's fake 4G for what it is?
[A]You are correct it shows H when you are in Tmobiles"4G" area nothing wrong with your phone. Here is the link if you would like to have a 4g icon instead. 4G Icon Fix Link updated
[Q]In the stock ROM, they have a task manager which I get used to as a habit to run that and "Clear memory" from time to, but i can't find the task manager in CM10, where can i find that?
[A] I have tried this and it does work. Good find Task Manager
[Q]When upgrading from CM9 to CM10, what do I need to wipe? I read that I need to wipe data, cache, & dalvik. Do I also need to format system?
[A]in CWM, or TWRP whichever you prefer, do a romwipe and dalvic cache and then just install cm10, gapps, and whatever else you want i.e 4g icons tiptop mms. and your set

Request for Help: CWM Clarifications for CM10 Install Prep
(UPDATE 11/29/12 8:55PM: Updated to include a complete installation list based on the advice I received from this and other threads, which worked flawlessly. This process assumes an upgrade from a stock ROM. I don't know if there are any differences moving from another custom ROM. Note that these instructions use CWM. Some developers prefer the newer option of twrp instead of CWM, found here.)
Thanks for opening up this CM10-specific, newbie-friendly thread, tazmaniondvl! I've been lurking through the CM10 thread for the past few weeks and have finally decided to take the plunge and install it. Since I've been unable to find a tutorial that meshes cleanly with the Exhibit-based CWM 6.0.1.2 package (found here), I compiled the below list of steps.
Thanks to all the developers taking the time to build these Exhibit packages, and helping us enjoy our phones even more!
Prerequisites:
Device is already rooted
Battery is charged.
There is sufficient(?) room on the SD card and internal memory.
The thread found here has the latest CM and gApps downloads.
Installation:
Download and install the Exhibit-based CWM 6 package. Verify CWM recovery is working.
Download and place the latest Exhibit-based CM10 and Exhibit-based gApps packages onto the External/Internal SD card.
Backup all user applications and data (contacts, call logs, messages) to the external SD using Titanium/Go Backup.
Make a list of all user applications you critically need at restart (backup/restore programs, preferred browser, basic utilities), to ease the reinstallation process.
Reboot to Recovery.
Select Backup from CWM menu to create a ROM backup.
Under the Wipe menu of CWM, choose to wipe the ROM.
Under the Wipe menu of CWM, choose to wipe the cache.
Under the Wipe menu of CWM, choose to wipe the cache/dalvik.
Install the CM10 ROM.
Install the gApps package.
Select "Fix Permissions" under the CWM Advanced menu.
Reboot, and enjoy the bliss that is CM10.
Download the apps used to backup up user data, and perform the restore.
Reinstall all applications from the Play store directly, rather than restore from backup.
Hi there.
Very green noob here. I just flashed my virgin Exhibit II 4G to 11/26/2012 build. I'm still restoring apps but everything looks good so far. One thing I noticed is that now my connection shows as 3G instead of 4G. Do I really have a problem with my data connection or does this ROM exposes T-Mobile's fake 4G for what it is?
Thanks for all the great work!

Task Manager
Hi again,
I'm new to using custom ROM, now that I have played more around with the CM10 ROM, I got question: in the stock ROM, they have a task manager which I get used to as a habit to run that and "Clear memory" from time to time (since we all know how the stock rom is laggy and stuff), but i can't find the task manager in CM10, where can i find that?
I don't like the ones in play store as they seem to be a bit complicated (that can kill system processes?), is there a way to get the stock or stock-like task manager (is that touchwiz task manager btw?) in CM10?
I read the CM10 thread, and someone posted this

So i have looked over the link of what you have posted, i have not tried that or seen anything like it. However if you would like to try it, download the zip and flash in cwm or twrp, then go to advanced and fix permissions.
EDIT: Just flashed it and it works just fine. Just actually have to click on the app itself instead of holding the home button like on 2.3.6

You might just try Fast Reboot from the Play Store. Works instantly and doesn't actually reboot, just frees up a ton of RAM.

Cannot install google apps

I downloaded google apps for CM 10.1 from wiki.cyanogenmod.org , I have installed android 4.2.2 and when I put gapps.zip on phone storage CWM does not see this file, other zip's like cyanogenmod.zip is visible on files to install, i tried a lot of versions and I dont know what to do.
Maybe I should install CM rom with google apps, but on cyanogen mod official page I dont see rom like that?

You can't get a CM ROM with gApps built-in. Also, this should be in the Q&A forum, not in here.
I solved it partially, I have something wrong in directories structure.
If i put device into MTP mode and copy zip's on strorage everything goes to /sdcard/0 and if I open it in CWM I can see files that I uploaded.
It would be ok, but for example when I'm installing go backup the application files are going to /sdcard/GOBackup and if I want to restore data I must move /sdcard/0/GOBackup to /sdcard/GOBackup .
How I can repartition my device, or which app I should use to get state before it was broken (it was after installing miui).
EDIT. I readed that is feature of android 4.2 connected with multi user structure, I am first user of this device so i have directory 0, but I didn't found answer what I should do to connect mtp to /sdcard not sdcard/0
