Dear all,
Already posted about pinkish fotos. No reply.
Then I found a version of gcam that was working fine. Yes! Loaded the xml file for my phone realme 6 pro. And boom, force close of the app when making foto.
Checked settings, cleared cache and app data. Deleted app and reinstalled. Not working anymore. Then changed around in the settings to see if it really wiped.
Wiped, reinstalled, and the settings I changed where still there.... Huh?
Also now I recall that after the pinkish thing started, all versions afterwards I installed also had the pinkish color on them.
How can I deep clean my settings, apparently it still saves something somewhere after loading an xml file.....
Please help. Cams are unusable likes this :-(
Tanx a million.
Have you verified that the folder where the XML files are kept was cleared out?
Also, is the device rooted? I've had similar issues in other apps and had to clear out all settings from their protected data directories (/data/user/0/xxxx, /data/user_de/0/xxx, etc) You can find the data directories using App Manager. Without root, those folders cannot be modified directly but I've heard it is possible to do an ADB backup, modify the backup, then restore. I have no experience with that route.

Last night I downloaded an app from the market: Anttek App Manager. I didn't really need it, I just came across it & it seemed like a good program that I could use to replace a couple of other apps.
I opened up the program & didn't do anything. I did grant it superuser permissions when it opened, but did nothing else except browse through & get a feel for the interface.
Suddenly I was having a force close party all over the screen. Market, maps, settings, homescreen, anything system was force closing. I tried opening settings to uninstall the app but it force closed immediately. Tried with Market, same result. I could get into user apps to uninstall but when it tried to uninstall through the system uninstaller it would force close. I finally uninstalled through Titanium Backup. I was still getting force closes so I rebooted. After the reboot I could open system apps again. I checked my apps in settings & the app was gone from he downloaded tab but remained under the all tab. I uninstalled again. I checked through root explorer & it wasn't there, but in protected apps there was a downloadfile.apk that was timestamped with when I rebooted. I emailed it to myself to check out later if needed & deleted the file.
What do you guys think? Was it just something buggy that I'm blowing out of proportion or is it something to worry about?
Edit: I'm running cyanogenmod 6.1.2 if it matters.
I honestly dont know if it was something malicious or not. I had an issue when I downloaded an app (Don't remember what it was) and it downloaded 300+ downloadfile.apk. As you probably guessed it filled up my sd card. In my case I found it prudent to do a complete wipe and reflash my ROM. I set everything back up and havent had any more issues.
I would probably wipe and start over or Nandroid back to before you downloaded the app. Just my opinion...
Yeah, I think I'm just going to restore from a backup. I just don't want to have to reflash my theme & font, but it doesn't take that long, I'm just lazy.
I was wondering if there's anyway a virus could go deeper than what is changed by wiping/flashing/restoring? I'm somewhat technologically literate but when it comes to the deep down stuff I'm lost.
SystemUI keeps crashing when it tries to restart, making my phone completely unusable. I'm not able to flash another ROM at the moment so what I'd like to try is deleting the app data for SystemUI (wiping cache and dalvik didn't work). I have Team Win Recovery so I'm able to access the filesystem to delete files.
Can anyone suggest which file(s) I should look for?

I want to keep my most recent files. I took some photos today and they didn't get a chance to instant upload. I can wait a few days until I get to a computer I can use ADB on to push a ROM.
Sounds like you don't need a working device.

Hey guys! Big news!
I've fixed the problem, well.. sort of.
I will edit the post If I had something else to test.
1. Uninstalled Android System Webview and installed the one that is present in the Play Store (I can't select it for Webview Implementation though)
2. Launched YouTube app and showed a green screen no matter what the quality is.
3. Tried Chrome and the video works well without any freezes.
I am running the latest CM nightly. The system states that I am out of memory. When I go into Settings > Storage and refresh, it shows several GB available. I can't install any more apps. I deleted all of the apps I know longer use. I had about 600 pictures in my gallery. Since I sync with Dropbox and Google+, I deleted all of those as well. I changed my email retention from 7 days to 3. I cleared the app data of all apps.
Still getting this strange problem. I looked and there were a ton of strange log files in /data/system. They were RS_01.log, RS_02.log, etc, all the way to RS_90.log. Each log file was about 910 bytes. I deleted all of them in root explorer and rebooted. Same problem.
I can factory reset and reinstall CM, but want to see if there is a fix first. Found online people saying to dial *#9900# and deleting a log file, but dialing that number does not open a menu. Might be due to the fact that I have a later bootloader (M2), or that I am running CM.
Ideas?
Give lucky patcher a try. There's an option to odex system files which frees up int storage

I can't install any apps. Android is throwing an error, not enough system space to install whenever I try to install anything. This has to be some sort of runaway log. I found references to dumpstate logs causing this problem, but they are all in /data/log. I don't have that directory on CM11. Not sure where to look.
I found solution..
Go into your time tool box and set apps to sd to auto. having it set on ext sd messed ours up too. Easy fix for us. Hope it helps.
I just rooted my G4 using a couple of threads and a how to video from this forum. This is the only place I trust and everything went great. My phone is rooted and I'm having fun with it. I just have one issue and it's a strange one. At least I consider it to be. Here's the problem. Any app I install that will both uninstall an app and restore it I'm having issues on the restore end. There is no exact info I can give you except to explain what's happening. Usually only the first file I uninstall will show up in the recycle bin and I can restore it. But sometimes nothing shows. If I try to uninstall more than one app, let's say three for example. In the recycle bin it will show that I uninstalled the FIRST app I chose to uninstall as ALL THREE listed. So Let's say I uninstall app's a, b and c. In the recycle bin instead of showing apps a, b and c, it will show three versions of a. This seems very odd to me.
The thing Is I have troubleshooted this and I have used different uninstall/restore apps that do the exact same things as App Master/System app remover (root) etc. I evven tried others. but still have the same exact issue with all of these apps. And also within these apps I moved the backup folder and recycle bin locations to several different locations incliuding different locations both on both my external SD card and different locations within the external storage just to see if the location was the issue. The locations does not matter. The app does not matter. I have the same problems no matter where the locations for the backup and restore folders are and I have the same issues no matter which app I use. BTW I have no problems at all with installing apps from either the app store or anywhere else and also I even used an apk extractor before I turned my old phone in and extracted a lot of apps and installed those on my new phone via a folder in the external SD card and no problems with that. Also if I only uninstall one app with any of these uninstall/restore apps I CAN restore it.
My fear is that I will one day need to restore an app, maybe a system app and because I have uninstalled many apps since then it won't even be listed in my recycle bin via these apps and I will be screwed. Have any of you even heard of anything like this before?
I realize there could be work arounds such as periodically backing up ALL apks, but really that would be a hassle and I would just like these uninstall/restore apps to work like they should.
Any Ideas? Thank you so much in advance guys. You're the best.
Hi there. I just signed up thinking this was an Amazon Firestick forum. Looks like it's a lot more than that.
Maybe you can point me in the right direction, maybe not.
My firestick keeps telling me its critically low on storage and to remove apps. I have removed every app I cam remove except one. I have cleared every cache. No luck So with one app and every cache cleared it still isn't happy. What can I do?
When you go to FireOS settings / My FireTV / About, how much space is actually available?
The suggestion to remove apps is generic, and you may have a bunch of files taking up space elsewhere. Download a file manager app like Total Commander or MiXplorer and check to see if you have accumulated files in the Download folder.
Also check the rest of the internal storage one folder up (storage/emulated/0). Some apps may have left behind a folder with their own downloads. For example the Downloader app, creates a 'Downloader' folder where it puts anything downloaded through that app.

Try reset to factory defaults, that should wipe all the garbage left out by other apps

Problem is if I reset it will wipe out the one app I can't afford to lose.
It might still be easier to install a file manager and browse through the stick to find out where the space has gone.
Thank you1
