Good Day Folks.
I'm a Noob in need of help and i'm hoping the more experienced among us might be able to assist. I have an issue with disappearing phone storage. Over the course of a week I realized that I was losing about 1MB a day. My phone would basically be dormant and I would still see my storage space dropping by this amount everyday.
Cache cleaning didn't work. Later I realized that Android creates a bunch of log files in Data/System/Dropbox that was responsible for the disappearing phone storage trick I've been seeing for a while now.
I know now that Google has incorporated into Android as of the 2.2 iteration, a DropBox Manager that's responsible for logging all of the events that take place during the course of a running Android session. Everything from what took place at boot to force close details.
I understand that this is used for debugging purposes but I'm no developer . So my question is.... Can this DropBox Manager be disabled....somehow.
I really don't need all these files (and its A LOT OF THEM) being created as they serve no practical purpose for me. Not sure if anyone else might have noticed this but I'm hoping to receive some help. Even if it means pointing me in the right direction so I can work on it myself.
I really don't have a clue on how to start. Any help will be appreciated....Seriously...
Currently using G1 with CM6 Magpie running on EZTERRY's 2.6.34.7 kernel.
Its perfect except for this annoying problem.......
NB: I've posted this before in the general discussions area but should have posted it here first....Sorry about that....

i am currently trying to create an app for android 1.6 and i am new to creating applications so be gentle lol. a major problem for those on 1.6 still like people with a G1 have very limited space available for apps, i see that apps to sd in 2.1 could be very useful if it were an app in its self as opossed to being a part of the os. cyanogen and their team of wizards have created a custom rom but what if you are new to this and flashing is either to hard or to risky for someone to perform? as i said i am new to this and could use a bit of help. i want to remove appstosd portion of a custom rom and use it as an app in itself. is that possible? someone please contact me about this if your interested in helping me develop something like this. we can share ideas via email and possibly work together to make those with outdated phones a bit happier with there less fortunate hardware.
Not exactly sure this is what you're looking for, but I came across this tut about enabling move to SD using the android SDK by editing the manifest xml file.
Sadly, I cannot post links, so you have to google "mobile.tutsplus move sd".
First result should be it.
ok it says that is supports all android versions from 1.5 to 2.2 but it only mentions 2.2 and says it must be 2.2 which is pointless cause 2.2 already has this feature standard. any other ideas my friend? i may have read it wrong, as i said i am new to this and dont fully understand everything yet. i appreciate your responce on this matter.
I apologize if this is the wrong area for these questions. I'm having a few issues with my installation of CM7. I've tried looking in several places, but nothing seems to address my problems.
First thing I noticed upon installation was that I was never asked to set up my touchscreen or input my google information. I tried doing this manually by adding an exchange account, but that would not work. I next tried looking for my apps to see if they installed automatically this time around or not and none of my previous apps show, nor does market exist anywhere. Without any instance of market to be found I can't use any of the market fixes. However, without an inputted google id I don't think that would have mattered.
Can anyone guide me to where I can find help for these issues or post any possible solutions?

Google apps - Flash right after you flash CM7. You might have to bypass the setup, but should be able to open the market and input google login. It won't auto download, but you'll have some market access.

Read the dev thread for other issue and such, don't have the time to dig through and help further.

As the previous poster said, install Gapps. That will give you the setup screen the first time you reboot the GTab. As a word of warning, I wasn't able to bypass the first screen (touch the droid) on the main version posted in the development thread (the Beta05), even with the click around the screen. I was able to get past it right away on the "offical" build in post 18 of that thread, however (Beta01).
Let us know if that doesn't fix your problem.
Thanx alot guys. I was finally able to get market going by installing gaps and using the CyanogenMod 7 bet01. I ran into the seup screen issue with the Beta05 just like you warned. I didn't do the full market fix as everything I wanted was readily available. I'm not even sure if the full market is absent or not.
I am noticing that after you mount the USB connection you can't unmount. Also, my internal storage isn't recognized. I think there were fixes for some of this in Beta5. Is there a way to update to Beta 5 without having my previous problems or some other fix for the USB and storeage issues to anyone's knowledge?
flash to vegan5 and you will be way happier.
I tried CM7 and it had so many issues.
Once you flash vegan5 you will actually enjoy your tab
You can try flashing beta5 over beta1 and clear cache/dalvik. I'm not sure if that will work, but would be my best suggestion.
On the other hand, I actually agree with the previous poster saying that vegan is probably the better option at the moment. It seems much more stable and feature complete, even if it is froyo instead of gingerbread.
Either way, make a nandroid backup so you can go back if things go sideways.
I didn't get to post this before the responses. I did actually go ahead and flash over Beta01 with Beta05. I just didn't wipe the data or cache. Everything came back just fine. This fixed the storage and usb issues in Beta01. However, you have the previous audio issue from older builds where you have to plug in headphones and unplug them to get the audio back. I've tried VEGAn 5.1 and it works awesomely. I'm merely choosing aesthetics above overall functionality.
My tab has been delegated to fancy entertainment device (comics, casual browsing, games and video). It does all I need for now. I figure since VEGAn and CM7 are joining forces, why not do the switch early and test it out. I love where they're going with this ROM. I can't wait to get my grubby paws on a finished product.
Again, thanks big time for all the assistance. I generally skulk and read through the threads, but I love this place and all that everyone provides for the lesser technophiles like myself.
I thought maybe I could post my own problems to this thread?
So I'm on cynogen 6.1.1 on htc evo 2.2.1 kernal [email protected] #1
Anyway... I've tried 3 times to install the update to 6.1.2 today and each time it's gotten stuck around 58%. Any links to places I'm sure are there and I just couldn't find?
Also, for some reason, for the first time since I got my evo, I'm getting TONS of errors when attempting to send sms. theres a pink like traingle with a ! in the middle. Any suggestions?
How do I fix the bug with the camera?
You can email me if you like, at [email protected].
I am sort of inbetween a newb and whatever the next level would be, lol. This past week I was able to root, and install a custom mod, AND install an update to that customed mod (which is the one i'm on now) all w/o ever posting any questions to any forums. Hopefully that'll get me some brownie points?
Please PLEASE please!! I will even paypal $10 once I get this resolved.
On bended knee I beg (im not really this dramatic in real life )

My suggestion would be to ask somewhere more appropriate. This thread is for a different version of CM, on a different device all together.

This usually means the installation was corrupted in some manner.
And it's usually because of a corrupt zip one would flash with.
You can reflash cm7 with another fresh downloaded file if you still have access to recovery mode.
Which I think you should be able becase the boot up process makes it up to the "Android" Bootscreen before it starts bootlooping.
From Advanced Recovery mode you can mount the USB option for the SDCard then transfer the fresh DL to your SCDard that way.
Also make sure you are using bekit's version .8 of CWM while in recovery mode.
Grab CWM v.8 from here
Other versions of CWM don't work well with the GTAB.
I've had this little issue for a long time but it's really starting to bug me now & i've got the problem narrowed down but can't figure out a fix. On all of the AOSP ROMS that i've used i have a problem with the browser basically stalling out in the middle of the page loading. It gets to a certain point on the progress bar & just seems to stall there & load & load but never wants to finish loading in the progress bar. But every sense ROM I use the pages load almost immediately but i hate Sense so i want my MIUI browser to perform like the Sense so until it does MY AOSP is inferior & i just can't have that. Now, when i turn off the Java Script or turn off "download images" in the browser everything finishes loading like normal so naturally i'm inclined to think it's something with Java Script. This happens to me on MIUI & CM7. I can use ANY Sense ROM & it works fine. On speed tests i get really good speeds, usually 5mb/sec+ download but still the page loading problem remains with AOSP. Can anyone offer some enlightment? I hate to even have to ask but apparantly i can't figure out myself. But it seems i can't! Lol. Thank u :')
Are you using any ad block apps or custom hosts file?
Nope. Just the host files that are included in Mr. Garak's Freshly Squeezed Miui & whatever host files that are in the Absolution ROM. It's aggravating. I'm sure if i just start fresh with a freshly wiped ROM & just take it one app & tweak at a time to see which one is causing this i can find it. I was just thinking that it does this to me on a fresh ROM too but i'm sure i'm thinking wrong & was hoping maybe someone else had run into this & knew what could be causing it. Thank u sir :')
Well crud. I remember in the early stages of CM7, there was an issue w/ hosts files/ad blocking causing this.
Sorry I can't be of any more help. :shrug:
Hey buddy, i just appreciate the reply. No biggie, it's a pretty unique problem that's obviously just related to my setup so obviously i'm just gonna have to deal with it till i get time to start over & take it slow to pinpoint the problem. Have a good day :')
Hi to all, i got this issue with my Arrows X F-02E .
Believe me, ive searched everywhere and , i dont know exactly what my problem is, because the threads that ive seen, are so different from whats happening to me.
So well, like 6 months ago, my storage stopped working, i couldnt download apps, as my internal storage capactity reflected 0.0gb, neither i could take pictures or store anything, so well heres, what i consider to be the twist.
There are many things that suggest to me that the files are actually inside the device, first of all: clean master.
According to clean master my device has 18gb used, and 24gb free, what i remember to be exactly how my memory was way back, also if i run the cache cleaning on clean master it actually find 700mb or somethin, i havent run it to delete the cache because i consider something awful might happen.
The other thing, all my apps are still there, and i can actually use them, yesterday i was using skype, but i cant seem to update the apps, so well idk what is actually happen, and would appreciate any help.
Some other things to take in consideration.
I have never rooted the device, well not that i know of, i tried once but the device didnt appear on the terminal so i left it as that.
by that means i haven't tried to install a custom rom.
Just downloaded apps from the market.
So well besides an answer , i would like you to recommend me what would be the best course of action.
Because it would be so good to recover everything, but if it cant be done its ok, i just wanna consider what my options or option is.
Hope yall are having a good time, and thanks for your time

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.

Thank you in advance. First of all I am still a beginner in knowledge here. My Alcatel fierce 4 TCL 5056N seems to have been hacked and is now being remotely accessed and controlled by an unauthorized 3rd party. I may be way off base but I think my phone may have been exposed to a R.A.T.. Temporarily rooted long enough for someone to modify the kernel and other system coding, which I cannot access myself with an unrooted phone, installing some sort of sub-OS with limited user setting options and a completely different named storage platform,( I.e. emulated, bdef55, self), and not even factory resetting my device helps because it reboots into the sub-OS they installed. They are screen overlaying buttons, and toggles are being reversed in real time before my eyes, settings and options are disappearing from one minute to the next and I've somehow found myself poking around in some windows software on a PC that is used to develop Android software, maybe sdk, not sure but was Linux coding and looked like it was meant for me. I was on the other end of this hack for a few minutes tho but my lack of knowledge made this useless to me. I have downloaded many an app trying to combat this issue but to no avail. Although unsuccessful I have seen a few thing I don't understand but could possibly be helpful for you to identify exactly what my issue is. One thing is an app I downloaded said that a trust cert has enabled a malicious trust agent and my system is being remotely accessed by a third party. The rest is beyond my understanding but I'm going to list a few tidbits you may recognize. LIB, Kinguser, kingroot, persist, unremovable/???/xxx, code Aurora, bootstrap something, libnfc, system/framework/Apache/xml, bin, user value=0 or 1/2, managed provisioning, also a .base ext. on a bunch of sytem apps below the same app without and a few of others. I don't know if that's helpful but it's all I can remember. Symptoms are apps closing on their own, microphone and camera being remotely enabled, unable to update Google play services or store and being forced to use an obviously older and modified version with possible replica apps with restrictions, unexpected reboots, in settings/apps/permissions apps like gallery, when you click battery and then the little i button for info, it says it's a system app and all of the sudden the disable and force close buttons become un-highlighted and unusable and so on and so forth. Lastly, my home wifi is infected I think as well because my roommate is having the same issues. I've tried(unsuccessfully) to root my phone so I could manually remove some of these apps and extra coding and such but it seems impossible because of a locked bootloader. Tried about 10 different ways without success so I've just about given up and smashed the damn thing but then you geniuses popped into my head so I beg of you, please help me or if nothing else, tell me to proceed with the smashing...lol! Thank you very much for your time. P. s. I'm new to XDA dev website so maybe drop me a line at [email protected] with directions back to this thread. Had a bit if trouble navigating here. Thanks again and have a great day! -Spencer
