Changing main files - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi there. I installed cm10.1.2 on my s3 and I can't seem to get subway surfers to work. Now I looked around and the only thing I can find is that its looking for the data in the wrong folder. Now my question is can I get rid of the emulated folder and just have the sdcard0 or is emulated mandatory?

Same issue here. Its not because its looking for data in the wrong place, if you download the game straight from the play store after flashing a ROM, the game still won't work (it doesn't have any data to look for so the game should just start up and its always worked before on different versions of android and custom ROMs). I'm not sure of the exact issue, but a recent update caused the problem. Try sending an email to the maker of the game through the play store too see what's causing the issue.

Well talked to kilo and they said it isn't tested on custom roms. So I guess until someone finds a fix it won't work on cm10.1.2 :'( guess I'll stay stock...

[Q] Question about media files using AOSP roms

can someone please try and help me figure out my situation?
Problem: everytime i flash an AOSP based ROM, my pictures will not show up in google gallery(they show up in quickpic) and my music will not show in any music player ive tried.
Ive searched the whole file system for .nomedia files, there isnt one on the root of the storage.
can anyone help me resolve this?

Damn dude, sorry, but I stayed away from AOSP for several reasons, and the mixed up mount points drove me crazy. I dont think I ever got it workng 100%. Didnt really try maybe, I missed TW.

Thanks! At least I got some feed back. I ended up fixing it. But it took all day. I had to Odin back to stock, re root. Then format the phones SD card and the external SD card. Now she works beautifully!

[Q] Loose all Photos after Flashing new Rom

I seem to be having an issue which started just recently anytime I flash a new rom or nightly release of AOKP or CM10 all the content in my DCIM/Camera seems to be gone the content in the thumbnails folder is still there but the photos at completely all gone any ideas what could be causing this issue? Thank you in advance.
The photos are gone in your internal sdcard?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
well I just checked all images are gone... internal and external photos.. images..wallpapers... just gone very strange plugged into pc and I see some of the files there for the images and the file size but can't copy any of them and on the phone the folders are just empty
Maybe you could get lucky using a data recovery tool on your sdcard. There should be some free/trial ones on the net. You just gotta search em out.
As for why....no idea. Obviously it shouldn't be doing that! Maybe the updater-script does something like format data or something...though tgat diesnt make sense either....has anyone else in the rom thread reported this too?

Actually someone said that they had the same issue with AOSP roms and started using quickpic instead and solved the issue
I don't understand how an app could stop the files from getting deleted.

Indeed I mean my new pictures I'm taking seem to be staying but everything all of my 700 images and pictures are gone nothing left which is very strange how only all the image media got wiped on external and internal sd
I don't see why or how but is it possible they were somehow actually stored in the apps data/cache folder and just linked to the sdcard??
It seems far fetched but its the only real explanation I could come up with other than something being corrupt and not working as intended.....
That's an odd one man.
Have you looked into any data recovery tools? I've heard of some success with them dealing with flash media like sdcards.

I'll look into the recovery tool and I was thinking the same with it being tied to the cache as well just really strange never had this issue before

Help can't flash new roms on T-mobile s3!!!!

Hi I might have erased something on my phone. I have flashed roms before but something must have gone wrong. I flashed a cm10 rom and it messed my folders up by creating a folder on the phones memory (I forgot what it was called)I tried moving the folders out of it because my files looked ok and something happened where it erased my external 64gb and crashed my phone( it became unresponsive when trying to move the data to my pc. I flashed the stock rom using odin and it took ok I rerooted and installed twrp and tried to flash different roms but they all stay at the boot screen. Wierd thing is I can restore/backup just fine. i just can't install custom roms. I also saw something that i never noticed before in my folders on the phones internal memory I will provide a pic. Are those usb folders normal ? I can't access them though. Someone please help what can I do to be able to flash roms again? Also before anyone mentions it I tried with clockwork same issue.

Flash new ROM. Factory reset.
Yeah, I think I know what's happening, enter the sdcard folder, and if you see a folder in there called "0", all of your stuff should be there. This happened to me while using CM10.

That's what happens on cm10.1 just look in your 0 folder.

Thanks for the help guys yes i'm Puerto Rican and I already knew about the 0 folder issue and the work around (i do look at this site quite frequently but don't post much because i look before posting) but the problem happened when i tried to move the items from that folder to my pc. The fact is it just stopped transfering files completely my phone shut off it erased my external 64gb sd card and it pretty much corrupted the internal storage thank god i was able to factory reset with odin. However even after i factory reset with odin i couldnt flash roms. Thats why i posted this thread, and also to make sure that those usb folders were normal (which i found out were normal to see) Reflashed Odin factory rom 3 times in a row and that seemed to clear up the issue. Like i said thanks for all the help and sorry if it seemed like i was noobing. :good:

What is changing to a new rom going to do for him? If his music is gone it's gone... Unless I'm missing something? Why isn't your music on your computer or somewhere else? How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.

So i downloaded all of my musics whitin my device reason i never store music on my pc is because i barely do use it...
I guess i could do that too but i once remember i restored an backup and everything was in its place ? Its weird..
Also since i use various apps to get my music they are in different folders there js nothing inside my /music folder is this anything bad ?
I could download the music back also but takes quite a while + my lost game datas and precious images :/
Off topic : thoughts on the xperia t ? Im wanting to buy one..

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

list all the areas you are looking for the media... what is your recovery?
Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.

The Dark Knight Rises game

Can anyone run this game?
With cm10.1?
It freezes for me after loading the first level.
I don't have cm10 installed now but I did a few weeks ago and thus game was running great. The spider man game runs great too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Hmm... Not sure what I'm doing wrong... The game won't load the first level... I've tried reinstalling the game many times. I've tried to contact gameloft tech support and they gave me another Dark Knight Rises apk that doesn't even work! Their apk tells me it's not the real game! Lol!
Lol im not sure are the old files for it store some where because sometimes it will save files on my internal sd card so when I uninstall im at the same spot instead of starting over
