Running sd maid. had lots of duplicate files. Still have almost 11000 files 6225 in similar size. Is this normal.

It can be normal.
Some apps create alot of small files and directories to create some sort of structure.
Last time i checked the Pulse News app did that.

On my SD card there is a folder that just appeared by it self called lazylist
I found and deleted it a while back but it came back
Does anyone know what it is?
Also since there is a crazy amount of files in it does it make media scanner go slower?
I know it took forever for me to copy it from my SD card to my computer when I was back when I was backing my SD card up

It could be a folder from a game or app that you downloaded, I've noticed I have a lot of folders for apps that I no longer have on my phone

Do you have applanet? I think it might from that I never noticed it until after I installed it
Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700
I come across too and there was hundreds of file there slowing media reader big time. I deleted the whole folder and there is new one there with no files for now. Yes I do have applanet but didn't open it or use and folder is created already.

Hello could anybody explain me this on the pic? How is it possible that I having 25 Gb of internal memory and only using less than 5 Gb in total of pics, apps, music than downloads, it says that I have only 2,41 Gb available?
Thanks

the sub categories only measure specific folders not the entire card. like pictures, videos reports the size of the DCIM folder.
If you add up the different sections it will not include things like CWM backups and custom folders that you add I add folder for CWM zip files called ZIPS to the root of my card
If you look at mine it does the same thing, they dont add up.
but if you look at the details of the internal card from my root file manager it shows I have 7GB used which does add up. dont forget the size differences from GB to MB. 1GB is not 1,000MB
Thanks. So I'll have to erase some back up to free some space, no?
EDIT: it seems that "others" is using the most memory, upon looking up it seems like Titanium Backup folder is the culprit. Some advice?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
you can transfer your titanium backup files to pc.
Could I transfer them back with no problems later today even if the apps update?
I'll try, thanks
I did but it just freed 6 Gb, it still has a lot of space occupied by "others"..

yes you can get it back without problems, look again into your folders.
Check the cwm recovery folder for outdated/unused backups.
When connected to PC you can right click on all the root folders of the sd card and check properties for folder sizes. This should be easier than tapping on phone. That is if your not already doing this.
You may even find a storage app from the market.

I dont really know what to title this, so ill try to explain the best i can. Whenever i hook my phone up to my PC, there seems to be 2 same yet separate storage. If i go straight into my internal, there are the normal Music, pictures, podcasts and those type folders, but then there is a golder named 0 and it has the same exact files but it seems like those are the ones my phone uses.
So to recap, my internal storage is copied into a subfolder of the normal files...Any clue as to what is going on? Im running Lifeless btw.
Here are the pictures of what im talking about. Notice the firsts contents, then the second. Nearly identical, yet i use the 2nd's files.
First picture is the normal folder, and the second is the subfolder.

Have you had AOSP before? I noticed that after moving back. If I helped don't forget to click the Thanks Button
That would explain it. Would it be bad to delete one of them?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
It has something to do with the fact that 4.2 can support multiple user logins users I believe. I'm sure there is someone that can explain this better than I. I deleted one of them without any real trouble, but if you go back to an AOSP ROM it will just create it again.
Does it matter which I delete? Should I just delete the one not being used?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Just move everything over to the "0" folder. When you reboot it'll create what it needs in the other/regular folder.

Would be interesting to see an app that would or can defrag ext sd card mp4 files.
Reason I say is cause diskdigger pro recovery frags the larger recovered mp4 files that are recovered from being accidentally deleted.

Android doesn't need a defrag, they are only for windows os...

Your not neccesarily understanding my thought...
I mean the app diskdigger pro Version
Can and will recover any deleted mp4 jpg or png file
When it restores the larger mp4 files it Tells you immediately before you save them to the new chosen directory that some of your mp4 /video files may be fragmented upon restore due to being larger files.
So if they restore to your external sd all fragmented ..might there be an app that can scan them and defrag them once more so they play fine as they once did .

You're not understanding the message correctly.
It's implying that the file you're recovering is large and was likely fragmented when it was deleted.
Since being deleted, the fragmented parts of the original may have been overwritten already which would make a successful recovery unlikely.
eg. A file is fragmented into three parts (1,2,3). File is deleted and location of fragment 2 is overwritten with other data - recovery only has parts 1 and 3 of the original file meaning recovery is not successful.

So in essence that would make the option for mp4 recovery useless moreless for that part of the apps supossed function. .. which is one reason necessary to upgrade and pay for the pro version..to enable mp4 recovery.... where the end result is that it cant do something it claims too.

Might there be any other sophisticated apps that can perform a mp4 recover better than one that Trys but fails. .. What about even if you mount the ext sd to a pc and run a windows program

You could try Recuva by Piriform. It's a Windows app, free, and every bit as good as any other data recovery software.
Good luck.
I found that my note 2 internal storage & CPU battery all used by Gallery, which is scanning my internal storage & external SD files to create thumbnails. And even worse, it created one stupid big file which is totally wrong. I tried deleted it, created a fake one. But more than thousands thumbnails keep generating. Any one has similar problem, or recommended solution?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm new to the note 2 but you could try the .nomedia trick. Is there a particular folder where it's finding tons of thumbnails? Make a file called .nomedia and put it in that directory and it won't scan that folder. Kind of a hack but just to get the phone going.

Thanks, I did the trick. The problem is still the same. The Gallery automatically create one directory DCIM under sdcard, and also create .thumbna ils sub-directory under DCIM. I followed one solution here, create a directory name the same as the .thumbdata3--????. And it keeps this dumb file never being created again. Even though there are still a lot of tiny thumbnail files created, at least no more single dumb huge file error any more. FYI.
