Hey there, I am running MIUI XJ 1.8.26 XPART and I really like this version and I don't wanna change to a newer one.
This one is fine with battery life and smoothness so I will stick with this since my vacation
I am having this strange bug again when deleting pictures from the gallery app.
After a reboot they just show up like I never deleted them.
Last time xj told me to delete sdcard\miui\.cache\ and everything was OK... but now the pictures keep showing up after a reboot AND the cache folder is empty...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
What pictures you want to delete? Your own? System Images?
Pictures I took with the camera or which I copied to SD card.
No system files or kinda protected files.

Vanguarde, you can try to delete the folder which I posted.
That helped me quite some time.

No, did not work, i tried but the pics are reappeared. but it doesn't matter if you delete from file explorer its ok.
I just tried to delete it by inserting SD card in a card reader and delete it with windows explorer.
I don't get that. That didn't work also.
Every reboot I get the pics "back".
What the hell?

I cant seem to locate the dump file created by better battery stats, i am able to access my Samsung galaxy nexus but i see no such file, can someone point me in the right direction.
Mine go to /sdcard. Can you use your file explorer on your phone & check there?
thanks

i didn't know that i needed an app for viewing this types of files, i think it might of gotten deleted when i rooted my phone if i had one on my phone before. I downloaded one from the market, now i have like 20 file dumps i just thought i would be able to see it with my desktop.
thank you again.

Glad it was that simple to solve!
P.S. There you go, your first thanks!
So I feel like a noob, but here goes. Going into restore from recovery shows to backups I created. I can not find these folders from any explorer. I've checked all /clockworkmod/backup folders under /storage/ and they are all empty. I also tried searching for boot.img and gave up after a few mins, I also searched various responses on the net.. So where else could the backup folders be, i'm running a 4.2.1 rom.
Thanks

I'm using v6.0.2.3 could it be a version issue and the backups are not actually created...
Recovery still shows two folders and shows the location as /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and ES file explorer shows that folder as empty.
So I don't think it is working. I let a search from root finish for 1970-03-02.03.38.38 which is showing in recovery and it found nothing. I'm curious why recovery is showing these folders, does it keep a list of backups in a file somewhere.
Figured it out. Right in ROM manager it states, In Android 4.2 backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps.
So anyways..
*edit*
If anybody else happens across this, if you enable root explorer the secure folder where the backups are can be accessed.
In my defense I didn't have rom manager installed...

Sorry, I took for granted that you knew more about root explorer, my bad.
As for ROM Manager, please unistall it. It will only cause problems.
use "ES Filexplorer" and enable hidden files in the settings menu. Then go to the root folder in ES and look for a folder called mnt and you will find it in there
I know its an old thread but took me a while to figure out.

I wanted to delete the folder from root browser, apparently it deleted, but the folder remained there. So what I did is quite simply, open up a terminal, su, then rm -fr /mnt/whereclockworkfolderis, and that's it.
You can find here:
\storage\emulates\clockworkmod\backup

Yes. With ES Explorer and turning on "Root Explorer" in the Tools menu in Settings, I was able to see /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/<mybackup>
I just backed up my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 running CM 10.1.3 Android 4.2.2 and was unable to find it until I saw this thread.
Thanks,

Date of file creation?

Now this one just makes me wonder. I was cleaning out some files and of course I ran across this one. I have, actually two backup files. Im deleting the older, however I noticed something odd and pulled up properties of the file. I have no idea as to why it says the file was created in 1969 or as it says 1970 in the file. Is this some possible issue?

No. When you reset a phone, it doesn't have the correct time. it's like replacing the battery of your bed alarm clock. So when you create a file, it will use this date.
Unrational!

Well that's even more odd. You think that if it didn't know the correct time or date, it would probably reset to 2000. But 1969, 1970? Weren't PCs way back then, so where's this very odd number coming from? A Grand-Father Clock? There was a period that many PCs weren't ready for when the time came. The turn of the century, when 1999 went to 2000, it was a numerical difficulty with Computers. Kind of makes what you are saying difficult to believe shall I say. It's a really odd number to reset to.

Early computers were made after the WWII, mostly used by government. It's not an random date/time. Every computer use unix time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

Hey XDA!
I have a quick question about recovering a 'hidden' folder that I can't find.
I recently just wiped my device and installed a new ROM with Philz Touch Recovery.
I looked through my photos and I can't find a special folder I had 'hidden.'
There's no option to 'show hidden content'
Is there any other place I can look? I backed up that particular DCIM folder from internal memory to my computer.
Then after I couldn't find the hidden folder in phone, I replaced the old DCIM folder to my phone's memory.. STILL can't find it.
Any help is appreciate at this point..
Thanks again!

Files made hidden by the stock gallery app will still stay in the DCIM folder, right?

I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think so. I don't use the stock gallery so i am not sure. But usually natural linux hidden attributes is simply adding a period to the beginning of the file or folder.

Omg I found it lol, so basically I made a random folder then hid it. Plugged it into my computer to find the folder name.
Of course with the option to view hidden files and folders.
Saw the folder I was looking for and opened file location. It's stored in:
Phone > Internal Storage > .hide > folder name
Thanks for your help, though.

Hi,
I realized that the pictures in App_parts folder, MMS photos sent and received, appears in Album, Google Photos and the interface that opens when I want to share a file (view screenshot attached, I don't know what app it is).
My rom is [Stock][PreRooted][DualRecovery][D5503] 14.6.A.1.236 Customized DE - Lollipop 5.1.1, rooted, xposed and Serajr installed.
With .108 Privacy Guard, I don't had this problem...
My wife's Alcatel idol 3 don't have this issue.
How can I fix it ? Where is the problem ?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor english.

have you rebooted the phone after creating the .nomedia file? or any other method that forces the media scan because the change isn't instant
I just try to reboot the phone, maybe if I wipe cache and dalvik cache ?
