The files you are deleting are used by An app or two. The app 're installs the files when you boot.

the problem is with my memory!
do you know of any app to SUPER WIPE this freaking memory????
do you know how to format it with command ?
i flashed my phone and it still wont format this memory....
its like all the files i have in my memory are super secure and they cant be deleted unless i unlock them... but idk what the heck happened...
all i remember is that it started to happen after i flashed my note and then i was downloading the radio and then every time i would go in CWM the radio file would not be there so then i rebooted the phone to check and then the radio files was not there......
i tried that like 4 times... now im at the point that i dont care and im trying to delete everything just to solve this...
this memory is just like 2 months old.... its a sandisk... i got it from walmart... 32GB.... i think my warranty was only 30 days

Exactly what file are you trying to delete. I was referring to your memory before. There are files on your removable memory that you can't delete because they will get 're written automatically

Perhaps your micro SD has a write switch on it? Lol. That's all I can think of. Otherwise boot into Ubuntu and open terminal and CD in and rm -rf *

[NEW][KERNEL][REPACK] FK23 with AGAT tREC_v0.2.2 recovery

For those of you who would like to run stock kernels with the builds
here is repacked FK23 kernel with my recovery and some init.rc edits.
SD card read speed.
Custom boot animation support
init.d support
Link:
AGAT_FK23_repack.tar Flash with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.
Did some edits in initramfs and run some tests.
Moved couple of apps to sd. After few reboots apps still working.
Moved apps to sd and flashed kernel separately. Apps were recognized on SD.
Tried to connect to pc in recovery.
ADB shell - works
Mount USB storage - not working. Will try to look into it more.
Hopefully it will work for all of you as well.
Don't have updater-binaries and updater-script for JB so can't make flashable zip yet.
If anyone has working JB flashable zip let me know and I'll try to make zip as well.
Installation instructions:
1. For best results copy tar file to root of your sd card
2. Use mobile ODIN to flash.
Phone will reboot.
It looks like any other method gives some problems with apps 2 sd.
Enjoy the kernel.

nice!

Or use triangle away after flash.

I have only 4 apps on sd and I moved them for testing purposes only.
gps status, root explorer, home switcher, titanium back up.
All 4 are working and I was able to move them back to device and then to SD again.
Apps mentioned above are paid apps. I don't want to buy them just to test if I can download.
Do you have any free app in the list that I can try.

I'm having ZERO issues downloading apps or accessing my purchased apps.

I didn't have any problems with the free apps. Mobile Odin was one of the apps I lost access too. I did run a mD5 check before flashing.
I moved the file to my sd card and will try again in the morning. I'm pretty share I did some wrong on my end. If not, will try and capture a adb log for you.

It will still be unlocked right? And when I flash the rom I still put T-Mobile in the set up? Also one more thing how do I know if my phone is ics. Or jb cause I have the v8 jb downloaded I'm sry for all the question I just wanna be 100% before I do this

I'll try to answer a few of them which i can
*wiping won't delete rom files from internal sd
*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb

If you're worried about losing any if your important content, including your nandroid backups, I recommend either transferring your content to a flash drive or to your pc that way you'll always have it and know where to look for it in case anything were to go wrong on your phone. You can also upload your content to a cloud but that can take a bit more time. If this helped please hit thanks as it really does help my status here on XDA.

No. Nandroids are recovery dependant. You would need to revert back to TWRP in oder to restore that backup and vice versa if a backup was made in CWM. Install GooManager from the Play Store, hit menu, then select "Install Openscriptrecovery" to flash the latest TWRP.

You can either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

You can use CWM or TWRP. What he's saying is you cannot recover a TWRP backup through CWM or vice versa.
So if you plan to use CWM, make a backup with CWM so you can recover in case something goes wrong. Your TWRP backup will not work with CWM.
Wicked is a great rom, it's what I use everyday.

[Q] TWRP issues

I have searched around and cant find a answer for this. Its probably something simple that Im overlooking.
When I DL a rom,theme, or whatever when I go into my recovey 2.5.5.0. its not there. NONE of my internal memory folders show up. The SD card memory is there.
Now I use FX file Exploerer....so to flash anything I must move the zip to the "O" folder and put it in downloads. Why isnt my internal memory not showing up? Its a real pain to have to keep moving files when the internal memory has them and it should show in recovery.
Am I missing something here?

Ummm...no suggestions?

The 0 folder is the virtual sdcard (internal sdcard) and there is no need to use it at all, it has the exact same contents as /sdcard.
But don't think of it as a "duplicate" of some kind, it's a virtual partition so you really do not have any duplicate files or folders.
With your file manager navigate to the / root of the phone and there you will see /sdcard which is the default/normal internal sdcard,
If you want to check the external sdcard you would navigate to /storage/extsdcard .
The reason for this is that starting from v4.1.2 of the Jellybean firmware all future Jellybean firmwares are
mulit-user capable just like when you log into windows 7/8 which has the ability to handle more than one user
with security in mind.

Perhaps this is the reason why so many people who have flashed a 4.2.2 CM/AOSP/AOKP rom and for one reason
or another wanted to go back to the Touchwiz 4.1.1/4.1.2 roms kept having all these "error 7's" in twrp and cwm.

simplest fix without using the root that you gained would be just disable the stock samsung camera then download one from the play store....but if you wanna use the root you just gained i would say download this then extract the samsung camera from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413 then with the root browser just delete the samsung app that you have installed and put the one you extracted in its place then fix the permissions then reboot and it should work now

3. Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“
4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
5. Save the changes and restart your device
6. You are now able to write on your external SD card again

Even if you sent the apps to your external SD they would still be wiped if you do a full wipe in order to flash a new rom....but what you can do is copy the apps data to your external SD with a root browser. Basically make a copy of the "Android<Data" sub folder from your Internal SD then change the name of the Android Folder then paste it to your external SD and the apps data it self will be safe even if you wipe to flash a new rom...
