Help with my DCIM directory

Hi all,
I am actually on here all the time I just dont post much. I recently did an NSFFAN flash on my touch. I have done a lot of them... I usually upgrade when the new ones come out. Anyway, I forgot to pull my mini-sd card out this last time and I have lost all my pics. I have read about this problem before but I am not sure about the solution. Here is a screen shot of what the directory looks like on XP.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone know how to go about fixing this? I assume the pics are still there maybe the headers are just gone? Maybe somehow the flash overwrote everything? I would like to get them back. Any idea's?
Thank you in advance!
Oh, and the new 100Media has nothing in it... When I try to take pictures now they take but do not save anywhere.

what the hell?

Yeah thats kinda what I said... hahaha
I have left the micro-sd card in there before during a flash and never had any problems like this... I mean if I can't get all the pics back its not the end of the world... but it would be nice to have them.

Sorry to tell you, but your SD card is corrupted. The same thing happened to me once and erased my Autorun folder for my Garmin Mobile XT. My solution was to reformat and re-install my apps. Luckily I made a back-up of my pics somewhere on my PC and was able to restore them.

Ah bummer!
I have most of them backed up but not all of them. It's not the sd card because everything else on it is fine... something just went in and killed that one directory. Strange...

ROM How to ?

I guess you've read this a million times here: "Apple User switched to Android = completely lost"
This forum is fantastic, but I gotta say its SO big with so much information, I find I've spent an hour or more just trying to find the right information, and even then I feel lost.
I recently tried Slim-t0lte, but I used the wrong ROM which was the N7100 when I have a GT- N7105 device. Lost all ability to make and receive calls and worst of all I lost my 64GB MicroSD card. Photo's, music, files the lot - gone!
That was a couple of days ago and since then I've done a lot of reading and have somewhat rectified the situation.
I am now using Slim-t0lte-4.2.2.build.7.2-WEEKLY and its working great, ie. I can make and receive calls at least, and I had to go and buy a new 64GB MicroSD which set me back $70 dollars. Formatted the new SD card to Fat32 using GuiFormat and the device now see's my new 64GB drive which is great.
But here I am now with everything done and I am completely lost as to how to use this ROM. In the image below is the phone set up how I thought it would look when I loaded the ROM. But it doesn't look anything like that, so I had a play around in settings and I've got the Time, Weather up on the lock screen, but nothing else.

Also I downloaded Universal_SlimBean_theme_lockscreen_blue_bubble, Universal_SlimBean_theme_power_widgets_ics_blue, Universal_SlimBean_theme_powermenu_ics_blue and Universal_SlimBean_theme_settings_ics_blue. I installed them all through CWM but I can't find a way to load them so I can see how how they look.
My question (after all the background info above) is there a how to, a video or something which shows the features of SlimBean that a novice user like me can watch so I can begin to navigate this great looking ROM and access its features?
Thx

If it's easy I'd suggest you take it back and replace it, you've clearly been sold someone else's return after they've stuffed it up. You read enough on here about how people bugger up their tabs then return them hoping the retailer won't notice what they've done. Mine is packed with apps and system memory is less than 6gb.

Mine says 5.63gig you must have a lot of stuff running.

Thanks for answering me
Actually I bought it over seas
That's the problem
How do I know what did they stuff it with so I use root explorer to delete it if it's easy
Or pit file signed with reparation so I fix it
B, r

at last i fix it
here is the solution incase some one have the same problem or need signed pit file for p600 wifi only
just flash the pit file with odin
after that flash stock rom and thats it
now used space is 5GB
b.r.

[Q] changing the partition map sizes

Ok so i want to change the partition sizes of my galaxy s3. Like shrink system & cache size and raise the internal Storage size (See layout below)
how to i go about doing that? i see theres guides for different phones but how do i do this for my Sprint galaxy s3?
back in my xperia play days changing the partition sizes was done in the kernel.

ok let me give you guys a baseboard then.....
i have found a tool that allows you to edit a galaxy's PIT file. [Thread here!]
The pit file is the file responsible for all of the internal memories partition sizes. As you may already know the galaxy s3 has one unified NAND like chip called eMMC, not going into details but its one chip that can dynamically grow or be software modified my this Pit file as oppose before in older android devices that the system and data were hardware locked sizes. the pit file tells Odin how big and what block does one partition start and begin e.g here
Now editing a PIT file can allow you to tell Odin i want this system partition to be 600mb and the cache partition to be only 50mb.
now with all that explained your probably it seems like you have already have it down, but here's my new dilemma.
now that i have found out how to edit this i now
1. have to now figure out how many blocks are in a sector?/kb?
2. and the total amount in a 16gb galaxy s3, how to add the reminding kb on another partition
if theres any advanced devs who may know how to calculate this please tell me.

Tab S died, can I restore apps from TWRP backup to another device?

So my beloved Tab S finally died recently due to accidental damage. I have wept every night since. :'(
Jk but seriously, I miss it badly. I had the perfect setup on LineageOS and everything working nicely, then it fell off the arm of the sofa and smacked the screen hard. Cracked badly and the digitizer is also broken. I was able to complete a full backup in TWRP using the adb shell, so I'm pretty happy with that.
My new device is a Huawei Mediapad M3. It's the best tablet at the same kind of screen ratio I could find. Decent price too. I've not been able to unlock the bootloader or root it just yet, but I expect to have this done shortly.
My question for you guys is how can I extract my apps from the backed up data partition in my TWRP backup from my Tab S to my Mediapad?
I can easily access the data archive by renaming the file extension to .tar and opening in winrar, but when I copied a single app folder to my phone (just to test it) the app did not appear in the app drawer after restarting.
Has anyone here had experience extracting apps from TWRP backups successfully?

Basically you are looking for /Data/yourappname/ and /sdcard/Android/yourappname folders.
I would suggest first install yourappname.apk, then when it will make folder structure in mentioned above paths, copy your backup data for yourappname over and restart. That should do it.
PS: but for dealing with /Data partition you need root access in your new tab. Also , pay attention for attributes of the files copied over.

Yes, you can restore your apps with titanium backup and a twrp backup.
