My Note 2 N7100 is slow when i want to drag som picture/folders over to my pc, it freezes and my phone can't always be reconized by my pc (unknown usb devise), after i tried to make a backup of my pictures on my micro hcsd i thought i need to take it out(to make it less slow) to se if theres something i need to back up on the intern sd card, took out my 30gb trancend card while my phone was on and now i have none of my usual contacts on my phone (normally stored on my gmail account).
Need to wipe all my data except for pictures, that i somehow need to take a backup of. Backup of my pictures to dropbox is not good because then my picture is downloaded to my dropbox folder on my ssd, why do i wanna do that? I want open my dropbox folder and look for pictures and the mabye download them.(havn't figure out if that is possible)
I have upgraded to omega rom 17 today, but i would like to try a asop rom 4.2.2, i can't awoid to delete,vipe all of my data, where i many times have upgraded to a newer omega rom with no full vipe
What would you recomend me to try?
Lost my usual gmail contact's, is there any way of getting them back?
Backup of my pictures, how? (havn't tried my laptop to se if that works with my phone so i can make a backup of my pictures)
I use carbon rom and I recommend it to anyone.

U said dropbox download the pictures to your internal storage .. You still can take the pictures from internal to external using file managers app ..
Put pictures on external .. Backup the apps using something like titanium backup also to external .
Go to your recovery philz or twrp are good..
Wipe everything (internal sdcard, system, data, factory reset, etc..)(except external ofc)
Install a fresh ROM..
Restore your apps ..
That usually would fix any problem ..
For which AOSP ROM,
Carbon ROM is the best .. I use latest nightly usually.

Why do i wanna have Dropbox download pictures (which is what i have most of on my dropbox) on to my phone?
Why can't i open dropbox and se what i have, and maybe download them, i take a picture that is stored on my phone and if it's uploaded to dropbox it is also downloaded to my phone.
How do i install simplistic framework and get it to work i have tried a few times, but no i can't, either it dosn't work or if i try installing it many apps like systems ui stops to work, ned to adjust my top taskbar, reducing the numbers of shortcuts and other stuff (i have paid for it but can't find the apk only a zip file)

But Dropbox does not download them... when a picture is uploaded, you just have to remove it from the phone if you don't want it to be there.. I don't get the problem...
Ummm I would advice you to get phoneix rom .. and in it you can install simplistic framework too.. try it..

When i delte it on my phone it's also deleted from dropbox so it's not any more on my pc.
How do i download something from dropbox? I wanted to install simplistic framwork 3.6 but i couldn't download it from dropbox (i can install the controll app).
Have this problem where i want to upgrade to ver 3.6 of simlistic framwork but i cant remeber how to do it, it pisses me off, because i just want it to work and cant remember if it's oxeded or deoxeded and whwn i try to install it i get the som gui that stops working.
Dropbox does not download the pictures, but the touchwiz implementation with it makes it download them. Deactivate it in cloud settings. You download pictures by favouriting them in the Dropbox app.
If you use camera upload, the pictures should not be deleted if you delete them from your picture gallery, unless of course you're deleting from the camera upload folder.
Simplistic framework is flashed from a custom recovery, like cwm or twrp, if you use a custom rom, then you probably want the deodexed variant. Wipe dalvik and cache after flashing.

I have ROM Manager on my phone but as we all know, it does not have many of the ROMS available out there including some of the newer Z roms. I have a new iMac at home and am unsure as to how to push roms to the phone, so I have been relying on qr codes or what is available on rom manager. Is there a way to download a rom, theme or mod file and then somehow create a qr code so that rom manager can upload?
Download them from the phones browser, then in ROM Manager hit Install ROM from SD Card and go to Downloads. Wipe Cache and Data and back up current ROM. DONE! Also there are apps on the Market that make QR Codes.
will try this out...been using SR3.5 and for some reason in rom manager when I select a rom I have to manually reboot the phone into recovery, unlike in other roms the application automatically throws the phone into recovery...seems strange that this happens. I guess as long as I have everything backed up I should be good to go...thanks!

What version of ClockWorkMod Recovery are you running. The newer one is giving people problems with Rom Manager.
2.5.1.2 Also, when I try and flash an older or even a newer version an error message is coming up that says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". Not too big of a deal though...just one extra step
Just stay on the newest one and manually apply the ROM's until they fix it.
Maybe I do this the long way or something, but I was just mounting the SD card to my laptop then opening the file under My Computer and drag & drop the zip file onto the sd card. Then sometimes when I'm at work and I get the itch, I'll just go to this site on the phone browser and download the link. Another handy way is using Chrome to Phone. Just shoot the download link right over to the phone wirelessly.
^^^^^^
This is what I do as well. Chrome to phone is nice though. To eliminate as many variables as possible I often manually go into Recovery and do it.
Does anyone know if ROM manager wipes the Dalvik cache when clearing cache is selected?
I have a small problem i installed font installer from the market and now after uninstalling the keyboard is stuck on the font that was last installed by the app. I have gone through the root of my sd to find the apk from which the keyboard is installed and cannot for the life of me find it. I thought maybe if i could find it wiping cache and data on that apk would remove it. If there is anyone out there that may be able to help i would greatly appreciate it.
As seen in pic its only the keyboard. Also kote that swype keyboard and gingerbread keyboard are both the same as the system font for some reason its only this keyboard and that is it.

Flash your last back up from cwm?
Or try to install the app again and set it to the default font then uninstall it.
In the future use the built in flipfont.

Hey there everyone. Here is the story in list format.
- Got first Galaxy S2 (Tmobile)
- after a few days rooted the phone using odin
- uninstalled bloatware via titanium back up pro
- installed a few apps(fb, twitter, swift key x, mobli, two different font changers)
- everything was running smoothly until i actually installed a font and the app prompted for a reboot.
- i reboot and the booting process freezes at the bootloader logo (tried countless times)
- i enter recovery mode to wipe phone.
- wipe phone.
- same issue.
- i thought then that the phone had some sort of issue in itself.
- i take the phone to tmobile a few days later and tell em some bs.
- get my new phone.
- root it again same way.
- uninstall all the bloatware i want gone and install all the apps i want.
- again SAME thing happens when i install this font changing program.
the program downloads previews for 146ish fonts. you select one. it actually downloads it and reassigns the default font with the font you download and after a reboot it should work.
except i get a frozen bootloader screen. so this time around i am convinced of the app somehow messing with the bootloader settings (etc...)
soooo...i decide to flash "SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure // Root // Busybox" by bubby323.
odin says its successful, but still same freezing issue at bootloader.
help please.
Your problem is with the ROM. Boot into recovery, mount USB, put the ROM on your SD card and flash it from recovery.
Also, stop using that app

i do not have an external sd card, so is there any other method? i can always go and purchase one tomorrow. there is no way for me to put the file onto the internal sd memory because windows never recognizes the phone because it never boots up.
and trust me, i learned my lesson....never downloading that program again.

There are drivers posted in the dev section, be sure to try and download them again.
Your phone's "/sdcard/" location is actually an internal SD card. So when you use CWM to mount the sdcard, it will mount both the internal, and external SD card if it can. So you should still be able to do it.
as you said i was able to mount and copy over the rom, but after i copied over the rom file, it does not show on the android cwm file menu. maybe if i restart the phone?ill try it now.
still no go the rom file is not showing, the drivers have been installed. i reinstalled them JUST in case.
maybe i'm doing something.
- i mount usb storage
- copy over rom tar files
- unmount and look for it in the apply update from sd card and install zip from sd card selections but both show no files.
alright well after a few hours of trying a million different things...the only thing that worked was eaglesblood rom via cwm mount. thanks romanb for helping.
Next JB problem: When I installed stock JB, I did a wiped data/cache, but when I booted up, I could see that all the folders were still there in Root Explorer as well as Airdroid. But, Android can't see them. What I mean is, if I open up Gallery, it claims I have no pictures stored on the device, despite actually having hundreds of pictures in several folders. Quickpic sees them just fine, but Gallery doesn't. I'd rather use Gallery because it can find pics from Picasa, which saves a ton of space on the phone.
How do I get my phone to see the folders that are still there?
I updated to Bigxie's ROM, but that didn't resolve it (not that I necessarily expected it to).
sorry, can't really help, as it worked for me without problem from the beginning.
maybe it just takes some time until media scan was operated? or are you using any filters like the .nomedia-manager?
No .nomedia files. If I plug in a USB port to connect it to my PC, it only shows a few empty folders, nowhere near all that are there. There's a Pictures folder, but it's empty, even though my Pictures folder actually has a bunch of files and folder s in it. It's like it's looking at some other partition or something.
That happens to me... i fix it by restoring my previos rom backup, and then doind a dirty flash of the JB Rom (only Dalvik and Cache wipe)
Same here .. no media file in gallery so I flash my old rom...

That sounds like a good solution, except whatever it is that's preventing me from finding my media files is also preventing me from accessing my Nandroid backup.

Might have to do with the sdcard being linked to another folder in storage
KJW979 said:
Didn't see mentioned in here but over at rootzwiki is being mentioned that the reason some can't wipe and return to a previous rom might have to do with JB adding a new folder named storage. If go into root explorer or similar right below folder Sd there is a storage folder if opened brings up another folder named sd, seems to be a duplicate sd folder. I can't remember ever seeing it on any previous rom's. Also nobody sure consequences if deleted. Personally not much knowledge, just passing along.

I'll have to remember that for next time. I gave up and did a factory wipe from Galaxy Nexus Tools, and am in the process of restoring my Nandroid, then I'll do a 'dirty' JB upgrade from there and hope it doesn't do the same thing twice. If it does, I'll just stick to ICS.

Just saw that, thank you for your post. It's weird, though, is it mirroring the SD card? I've got my SD card almost full, and if it duplicated it I would have gone way over.
I decided not to take any more chances now that I'm back to ICS. I'll wait for the official release. I don't think Google Now and the smoothness make up for the loss of themes and customization.

Where did you find a Galaxy Nexus with a SD card slot?
Hello to all!
At last few days, my phone start bugging.. First and biggest problem is that, all apps from SD card are unreachable( cant be loaded, but they are installed).. Also, other files are available on SD card.. Can preview pics, listen music, etc.. Also, few days before this problem, phone didnt open any pic and failed to load any video.. I dont know what I did, but that problem is gone..
Phone is rooted, and worked fine till now..
I must notice that this is happen after SD defragmentation.. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is last app I installed before problem..
Please, give me some options becouse I have alot apps installed and moved to SD.
Ty for any suggestions, all are welcome!
If you have apks than try to install them again.
If you don't have apks
Than u can find your installed apks here
just open any file manager
Go to
MNT>ASEC
just copy them
To sdcard and reinstall
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Your SD card has gone kaput. Try scan and fix through Windows. If it fixed, even then you may have to install apps again.
Ahh, ty guys..
I have apps on application menager, but icon is like unmounted SD card..
Also, I tried to defrag by PC, scan with NOD32, and nothing..
I have good progress in games, so it would be a pity to play them again.. Btw, if that is only way, I dont have to choose..
Feel free to give me some more recommendations..:good:
Guys, if someone can post me some good file menager with which I can see and "backup" list of apps and apps.. I have installed Kies, but they dont have ability for that..

Again, try saving the game folder on your PC and restoring after fresh install. It should work.
I tried today Mi File Explorer, and in APKs, I dont have all installed games.. Only few... Maybe I need to setup something?
Mi File Explorer shows the APK installer file and not the installed APKs. So if you need to backup your installed APK, then installed Airdroid first and then from web interface, select the games files you need to backup and you're done.
I tried to connect to Airdroid, but still no apps.. There are not on System apps too..
I also tried to format MMS, but nothing...
Ok, I downloaded a Root Browser Lite and in phone memory(I think, its first what I see when I open the app) in folder Data>data, I found app folders.. U can see in attachments.. What should I do now?

If you haven't already, I'd suggest you stop using your sd card immediately. As you might know, the more you use your memory card now, there'll be a higher chance for your phone to overwrite the data/memory slots you are trying to recover.
You mentioned, you backed up your data before but ended up deleting it after a successful install. Was this folder in your extSd card? If yes, then this should be the main focus for your retrieval process. Which recovery software (the pc app) did you use to try to recover your files?
I would strongly recommend using EaseUS Data Recovery. I have personally used this software on more than a few occasions, and it was able to successfully recover formatted, deleted and to some extent overwritten data contents. I am asking you to consider this software because while recovering my recently lost data, I was able to recover files that I had deleted over two month ago and should have been lost for good.
EaseUS website - http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/
If you do decide to give this software a try, during the wizard, select Complete Recovery option instead of Deleted Files Recovery. Complete Recovery option will scan your entire partition and show you everything it can recover from images, videos to random data files.
And no matter which software you end up using, expect certain corrupted data depending on how much memory spots have been overwritten since you deleted your backup.
For the future, I would recommend Super Backup Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
If you give it a try, you'll see it offers an easy but comprehensive backup methods.
Hope you get your contacts back
EDIT : Forgot to mention, as far as I remember, the free version had only a limitation of 2GB data recovery I think, but you just need your backup so you should be good
