Where is the "Trash" folder on the S9+? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

So when I started using the phone, I enabled an option, passing where when you delete pictures, it goes to a folder called "Trash". It stays in that folder for 30 days and then it is permanently deleted. As luck would have it, I accidentally deleted a picture last night and would very much like to retrieve it but I can't find the folder. I've Googled and searched and no luck. Anyone knows where I can find this mystery location?

Saving email and other settings

Hi Guys,
I tried doing a search but i cant find any threads on this.
Does anyone know how to save all your settings before u do a flash? settings like the emails settings are pretty time consuming as i put in nearly 4 email accounts. It would fantastic is i could just copy a single setting file each time i flash the rom .. that way there will be less inertia to reflash again
You need to do a more thorough search next time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308100
thanks man.. but actually was just looking if there is a single setting file for the email accts .. i dun really need all the other settings to be saved as i run my phone pretty bare..
i dun suppose there is a single file that you could just copy and paste over is there?
Nope sorry. The settings are all contained in different areas of the registry.
That program is about as elegant as you can get.
There is a way of making your own .cab file for these settings so that you only have to make that once, then re-run it when you flash your phone to get all your settings and stuff back. There is a thread somewhere about how to do it.
I've had a brief look myself but not yet got around to doing it - i'll have another look this afternoon and see if I can work out how to do it easily and post a guide for everyone else.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Woohoo!
Just noticed that that was my 100th post and I'm now a senior member - about bloody time ;-)
Does this mean I have to do my own ROM now? ;-)

There are several threads on this forum abous this. Just search more.
For now try to use my example here that sets my POP3 and Exchange accounts. Just put your own data in and load it in a XML loader or make it a .cab file.
cheers,
dan

PM me and I will walk you through making your own cab for them. fairly easy.
Thanks
I'll have a look for myself first and do some reading - I always find that if I do that, I can do it easier next time round as I "know" how to do it and what's wrong when it doesn't work But I'll definitely take you up on your offer if I get stuck
Cheers

How to get these.....

Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.
The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?
Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help
As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done
Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.
Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?
I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

No matter how big or what colors we use people seriously have selective reading. lol
actually I read that a few times but I was not sure what a cab file was.
Funny how much you care about the mistakes I made instead of helping haha.
Thanks everyone.
alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.
Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.
I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?
Whats the time difference on the clock?

[Q] What/How do these get there ?

Try this:
Setings/Google/Maps & Latitude/Manage Your Places
I have a BUNCH of stuff there and automatically Check in here is checked on most!
I have not found any way to remove any of these entries, nor how they even got there in the first place! There even is an entry "Robin's House"
and I have no idea who this "Robin" even is!!!!
Using the Root66 Jelley Bean rom am I am a bit puzzled at the existence of these entries (How the heck did they ever get in my phone?)
If you have any entries or knowledge about how to prevent/remove them, please leave a note on this thread.
Thanks! and....
Happy Holidays!
Ok I think it's
Settings->Accounts->Google->Maps & Latitude
I have everything unchecked and just go through each and clear them.....
Whoops lol I've been cooking all morning. It should be under there though and if not log into Google on the computer and I know there's a place to clear location history somewhere in the settings.

Already done that, but these are places I HAVE NEVER GONE TO! (My phone either!) there is no facility to delete these entries.
They are listed under Google/maps & Latitude/check ins/manage your places
The list is long, but no place to add/manage anything.... WTF???
does anyone else have this?

[Q] ExtSD hide

Is it possible to hide files on the external SD card from certain apps? Primarily video player and photo gallery. I've got little kids in the household that I don't want seeing certain things, if you catch my drift. I searched and couldn't find any way to hide the SD card from those apps, so as soon as you open the app kid-inappropriate thumbnails pop up. If possible I'd like to make those apps not scan the SD card so Iddon't have to worry about letting the kiddos play with the phone. Is this possible?
I'm running Jedi X6.1.2 ROM. Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Lol, it's homemade, not downloaded from the net. I was just wondering if there was a way. I'm also usually sitting next to the kids while they use the phone, but I don't want them accidentally getting into the wrong place and seeing something theysshouldn't.

smh.. lol anyways:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.droida.nomedia&hl=en
I have never used an app to hide files from apps. I usually just put a ".nomedia" file in the folder in question. That makes it so no apps except a file explorer can see it.
However, it may be easier to keep track of by using that app. (actually WAY easier)
it looks like the app marks the hidden folder in red so you know which ones are being hidden. That feature alone is enough to make it better than adding a .nomedia
That app puts a .nomedia file into the folders that you select to "hide." Works perfectly! Thanks!

Haha yeah that's what I meant. That's why I referenced the ".nomedia"

No problem! I'd rather have you hide the video then have to explain what going on in them to a kid lmao

[Q] Cliptray and password managers?

I use LastPass as probably a lot of people do to login to my apps. I noticed cliptray had taken all of these passwords that were inserted via lastpass and stored them clear text. Obviously this is undesirable. Is there a fix?
I have this same problem. I have yet to find a fix, except to clear the clippings twice a day
Thanks Guys
Not thought about this its a good security point
I assume that other phones are doing it but it may be in the background.
Can uninstall the clip tray app?
Sent from my LG G3
<nvm>
How can we disable the clip tray? What file do we need to delete?
Wow what the hell, I can't find it now! I swear I saw somewhere an additional clip tray service/app/something. :S
I'll keep looking ...
Anyone ever find a way to kill the stupid cliptray?
This worked for me.
Comment out this line:
<feature name="com.lge.software.cliptray" />

You're a goddamn rock star. Thank you. I used Root Explorer to find and edit it. It now no longer shows up when I copy things, so I hope that means it is fully disabled and not just invisible. But regardless, it helps my peace of mind. This is really your first XDA post? Well, you are batting a perfect 1.000

Cliptray writes the contents of its paste buffers to a sqlite database, I'd guess it uses that to keep the data over a reboot. This stops being updated after patching the permission file and rebooting so I'm fairly sure cliptray is inactive, not just invisible at that point.
I should have mentioned the database in my earlier post - if you didn't clear cliptray before disabling it then whatever was in cliptray at the time is probably still in the databae so you might want to delete it - the files are /data/data/com.lge.systemservice/databases/clipdata.db*
Those files will be automatically recreated if you ever re-enable clipboard.

Yep, first one. I've got a lot of useful information from XDA - I finally found something that I can answer for a change so time to start giving back.
