1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.
Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.
2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.
3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.
4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.
Enjoy Jelly Bean!

Thank you very much! I have another question about the attached app. It's a zip file which contains META Information and binaries in a System folder. So i have to place the binaries at the right place in my phone (obviously at /system/xbin , /system/app ) right? And the META folder goes where?

No do not extract the Zip file!
If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).
If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.
Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)

You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.

All Good! But i noticed another "problem" now.. in my Gallery i have a folder named "imageDownloader" who contains 700+ photos. I delete them all and after reboot it exists again. What is that anyway?
update: The images belongs to a folder named "07-11-2012_21-01" , it seems to be cached data of the app "Thumb". This folder is created by the backup, is located in sdcard and i can't delete it, even through my pc.. i don't know why :/

Unable to connect to Wireless N-only or 5GGz networks after update
I've been unable to connect to my home network on either band in the 'N' mode since updating to Jelly Bean. I have no problems seeing both networks and it says they're "saved", but when I click connect, it doesn't proceed to "authenticating" or obtaining an IP address.
I've tried several Custom ROMs with the same result, and I've never had this problem with any ICS versions and can regain connectivity by rolling back the update.
I've tried low-level troubleshooting (no network encryption, MAC reservation, multiple reboots, etc.) with no luck. I'm currently forced in a mixed N/G mode on 2.4 GHz to use my Wi-Fi.
There have been occasional reports of this over the last year or so on various platforms, but I'm wondering if there's any software/files, etc. that can be tweaked or looked at to see where this issue is manifested.

I cannot delete some files located in my /sdcard. I tried through "Root Browser" , through my PC... nothing worked :/ Any help please?

SD card ??

I'm having the same problem of being unable to delete some files off the internal sdcard. Anyone figure out a solution yet?

[Q] Another "sdcard\0" thread..

Soo, I know there's a lot of these threads around, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm wondering: After I flashed 4.2 I got this extra "0" folder on my internal sdcarrd. Can I just cut/paste the content of the "0" folder back to the original sdcard root? or will this have a negative effect on the storage?
Regards.

I had this issue earlier so i moved everything back to the root folder and deleted "0". If you are planning on flashing a few 4.2 roms i suggest you use the latest TWRP recovery or wait for the updated clockwork recovery because everytime you flash 4.2 roms they automatically create a 0 partition so you will end up with 0/0/0 etc depending on how many you flash

K, thanks!
I think I'll just copy the content of the "\0" folder back to the root, and stick with the ROM I'm on now. Then I'll update CWM when an update is released.

Aaargh.. I'm getting kinda pissed now..
When I try to copy the sd-content back to the root, it says that the device has stopped responding, or isn't connected. Can you tell me what is the standard root folder for the sd-content?

After installing a previous backup the was still a 0 folder so I copied all of the files to the root folder however it made the pictures unable to view

I've tried several methods to move my clockworkmod folder out of the "0" folder to the sdcard "root" to no avail.
I'm currently backing up everything from "0" to my desktop. Once that's done, how can I push the clockworkmod folder to the sdcard "root"?

Seems like there are some problems copying big folders over to the root. Try to first copy the CWM folder from your PC into some folder on the sd-root. Then, from your phone, open up a file explorer and copy the CWM folder to the root. Pretty weird, but it looks like it's working for me..
Edit: Yupp! worked for me. Hope you'll sort it out aswell.

What file explorer did you use? Every one that I've used takes me directly to the "0" folder when I hit "sdcard" thus I can't seem to paste the clockworkmod folder into sdcard root.

move it to /data/media
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
here's how it works
before the virtual link to /sdcard was /data/media
cwm was writing under /data/media so cwm folder would show up under /sdcard as well
now the virtual link to /sdcard is /data/media/0
that's because of multiuser (even if multiuser is not working on phones)
cwm is still wriyinb to /data/media so cwm golder eoll mot show up under /sdcard
solutions
1. to copy cwm foldrr on pc: move cwm folder from /data/media to /data/media/0 that is to /sdcard then attach phone to pc and copy folder from sdcard
2. to restore from a backup on your vomputer: attach phone to pc, create cwm folder on sdcard andcopy h erebackup folis, copy cwm foldef from /data/media/0 into /dara/media
it is normal to have a /data/media/0 which means /sdcsrd
it is not normal to have /data/media/0/0 which means /sdcard/0
the latter happens on your second installation etc.

I haven't updated to 4.2 yet because of this sdcard/0 issue I'm reading about
I don't care much about what's on my SD card besides my Nandroid backups so the only thing for me is: can I restore a backup from CWM if I move the "clockworkmod" folder from sdcard/0 back to the root of the SD card?
I assume there's no other adverse effects of all our files and stuff being on sdcard/0 instead of just sdcard root?

read my commeny above: yes, although cumbersone, yes

I'm thinking this is the appropriate thread to post this so here I go. I flashed the newly released 4.2 rooted stock image and there were a few problems :
1. I forgot to delete the cache/dalvik cache, which created a bootloop and completely messed up my device, and I had to wipe/factory data reset from the recovery to fix it (in which case I had to lose almost all of my data)
2. I accidently overwrote an existing nandroid backup of the previous (CM 10 stable) ROM I had made to restore just in case anything happens, so I was out of options to restore my nexus to a working state. I finally had to use the crashed ROM's nandroid backup using an advanced recovery so I had my photos, videos etc intact. I got it finally working but anyways,
3. I restored my apps+data using titanium backup. I wanted to go back to my CM10 backup which I had made using ROM manager and it was still present with the rest of my data. But when I selected the backup which made, the device restarted and gave me an error stating "SD CARD MARKER NOT FOUND" :crying:
Now I'm unable to restore or even make a new backup with ROM manager. And to add, I have like three folders for storage using up too much space on my sdcard :
1. root/sdcard - I have no idea where this came from but it sure has an awful lot of my files copied there
2. root/storage/sdcard0
3. root/storage/emulated - has two subfolders : 0, legacy
All of the above locations contain the same exact files and I just want my nexus back the way it was. I know I can flash CM10 right away but I just wanna get some help on how to delete and make changes to these added folders by properly moving the files without crashing the os.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am having this issue as well and am very very annoyed. Please help. Thanks. I cannot get into recovery manually or otherwise. Keep getting Andy with the red exclamation mark in his chest and must remove battery to reboot.

Fu#k rom manager and CWM use TWRP an rom toolbox pro an you will be fine on 4.2 JB.

Update: got it working.. had to flash back cm10 stable, move files around and get back the old ROM manager backup and restore it. Its fine now. Not to mention the 4.2 ROM was pretty unstable on my nexus, causing several reboots and sometimes it froze (especially when I connected it to my desktop) and I had to remove the battery and put it back in to get it working. Moreover the 4.2 rom screwed up the file system, making my nexus' SD card unreadable on any desktop. It just wouldn't install the drivers whatsoever. I'd wait for cm10.1 than try any other custom 4.2 from now on.

You can download Root Browser Lite from play store, which gives you complete access to the root of your phone and internal files such as system/.

[Q] Can't access some important files after 4.2 upgrade

Hi all,
Thanks for helping me out with this. When Jelly Bean was first announced I tried an unofficial ROM that was very buggy, so I went back to an AOKP ICS build. Since then I switched to CM 10.0 and continued to use it for a while until I heard about the recent Paranoid Android builds so I decided to give Jelly Bean another shot.
As we all know, Jelly Bean places its files inside a folder titled 0 (Zero) on the phone. When I upgraded the first time, all my files were automatically moved into the 0 folder and when I downgraded, they did not move back but I could still see and access the 0 folder with my old files in it. So far, so good.
Since I was using that configuration for a month I took a lot of photos and downloaded some files that I definitely don't want to lose. So imagine my surprise when I installed Paranoid Android and I could no longer access my old pictures and files!!
My guess is that the files are still on the phone's memory, but since the operating system now sees 0 as its root folder, it isn't aware of all the files existing outside that directory and can't physically access them using Astro or Android File Transfer (or Windows Explorer).
So my question to the amazing community here is this:
How can I access 100% of the phone's internal memory?
I assume there is a way to do this from recovery, but I don't want to do something that could potentially delete those files before I get to copy them to my computer and the folders inside the 0 directory.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

Use a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and move the files into the relevant folder under 0

Hi,
i have the same problem than you ><,
appeared after flashing nightly CM10.1, the only solution to remove the folder "0" than I found is to save everything (by ftp because by usb connection I did'nt see my file) and formatted the sdcard ... not clean solution...

ES File Explorer is not working for that. It still doesn't see the old folders. Any other suggestions?
I tried using ClockworkMod recovery and selecting "Mount Storage" while connected to my computer but when I click "Mount Storage" nothing happens. Any help with this would be appreciated, because when I browse using ClockworkMod Recovery (like for a .zip to install) I can definitely see the old folders with the old files in them.

[Q] How to clean wipe?

Hey guys wanted to know how can i clean wipe all the data folders on my phone except the new ROM file i want to flash
i have done normal formats and wipes but got so many dead/duplicated folders on it with the 0/0 and some other stuff
for exmple with root browser i got the SDCARD folder and then i got the STORAGE/SDCARD0 folder again
also got STORAGE/EMULATED/0/ and here ALSO all the files
and also on STORAGE/EMULATED/LEGACY
what am i missing guys?

The SDCARD folders are in fact only links to the real sdcard folder.
I think these links are needed because android used to have another folder structure and older apps wouldn't be able to accept the sdcard.
For a completely clean wipe you can select wipe internal data in TWRP. Maybe you can push the ROM you want to flash via ADB push. But I'm not sure about that.

Ok thanks bud, its just that i know that the /0/ folder is a shortcut to the real folder yet the other 2 i wrote down are old files that i had with other ROMS i have used back in the day

Extra Directories with CWM and CM11

Hello All!
I seem to have gotten a strange directory structure after going to CWM and CM
/storage/sdcard0/
and /storage/sdcard0/0
both have the same directories underneath. With /storage/sdcard0/0 being the directory that shows up when I move stuff onto the phone and /storage/sdcard0/ being the directory that holds the CWM backups.
Is this normal? And if not is there anyway to wipe it to be normal? Even when i'm trying to install a new rom I have to use , use last directory .zip install of the normal download folder (the default one goes to /storage/sdcard0/)

I had an error like this yesterday while flashing stock rom using LGPNST and going to CM 11.
If going between CM Roms and Stock roms, keep both. Copy root to "0" folder. Easiest way
After you flash your rom, make sure you factory reset, thats what did it for me. I was using TWRP though.

Thanks for the help. I eventually figured out it was partially due to what you mentioned + clockworkmod. changing to TWRP and flashing CM11 made it all go back to normal
