Guys, what is this lazylist folder on sd card? Can it be deleted?
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using Tapatalk
Its just cache of icons even if u delete it it will come back..
But I hate the way android impliments apps folder creation directly too the root of sdcard. I think there should b some hack so that apps folders (folders created by apps for cache and stuff) are in one sub folder.. like a symbolic link.
My sdcard is cluttered like hell with all the folders.

Thanks for the info, dude. And, you are really right about folders issue. Very nagging. Even more nagging is the fact, these folders do not go away even with uninstal of app. Have to delete them individually.

I deleted it everytime i turn on or rebooting my phone and nothing happens.

Having lots of folders will not have any impact on the read speed of the sd card but if you have a number of files one the root of the sd card then the read speed of the sd card will be greatly reduced.

(Just realized this thread is several years old)
I think its safe to say that any of the files/folders that wern't there prior to intallation of the app would be safe to delete. Often times after uninstalling an app some files and folders are still there. Usually they are files and folders that werent originally installed with the application such as saved preferences, data, settings, ect. Those files are safe to delete but I think the best rule of thumb is when in doubt, dont delete. You can usually use google to find out which files and folders are associated with which app and which files and folder are important or essential.

Just wondering where APK were stored after downloading from market

Why do I show a bunch of apps in the download folder too?
My bad. Those are ones that I copied there.
What a dummy, I've ben up for 17hrs.
Lol. That's how I get to bro with no sleep. Usually with htc phones anything you download goes to your download folder...except if you download from your HTC mail it will be in downloads folder. If you download from your xda app a file attached to a post it will be in a tapatalk folder. This is your card Im taking about. Any app installed to your phone from the market will be in data/ app
System apps can be installed by flashing or adb push

apk file
I wanted to increase the battery life on my wife's rooted Infuse to increase battery life. I read that faux123's Kernel and script are supposed to be the best and compatible with ALL Samsung Rooted Stock and Custom ROMs
For reference I'm including the links:

FauxClock app by roman:

My question is where do I put the apk file (FauxClock-0.9.apk):
1. Internal sdcard (sdcard/download)
2. /data/app
3. system/app
Does it even matter where I put that apk file? Thanks for the help.
System/app

Thinking about flashing serendipity over infused but I'm tired of always loosing my pictures and videos after flashing since we always have to wipe data. Is there a way I can move them to my sdcard?

I just backup all my files to my PC.

Yes you can move them. Go to sdcard and make folders for pictures and video and copy items to corresponding folder or get a Dropbox and upload your items there.
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. DlevROM Yo!

Wiping data does not touch your internal SD card where your pics and videos should be stored....unless you save them to phone ...
If not then you are doing an unnecessary step like wiping your partition or formatting internal storage ...you should never lose pics or vids by flashing any roms ...

So I'm trying to free up some space because i only have an 8gb card, and i want to download the new Batman game, which takes up a lot of space. So my question is, are the lost.dir files needed? Because they take up a lot of space, but i don't know what to delete
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
You can delete them but they will keep coming back
If your lost.dir is taking up any space (past the directory itself), you have had filesystem corruption problems on that volume. That directory is used when the OS can't repair the filesystem and puts "orphaned" directories and files in there.

Is there any way to increase the storage limit of 500mb for /system? Without deleting anything from there?

You can also save system space by converting system apps(system/app) to user apps (data/app).This can be done very easily by titanium backup.long press on the icon of the system app and select convert to user app.:thumbup:

if I move it, will it be stored in internal memory? And opening the app shouldn't create any lag or fcs rite?

Most apps won't be a problem but some apps work only as system app so you'll have to try for each app.

Hey!
I noticed I have almost 2gb of miscellaneous files all the time. What are these files and can I delete them?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
if u upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 recently without wipe data afterwards, this will happen. if that's not the case,just ignore me.
That's shouldn't be the case
Miscellaneous here refers to the files other than system memory and cached data. Which means the things you have on your internal sd card

if my case,i boot in recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset,but that way,all your apps are gone too. so you should investigate better,like brian said,try search you internal via pc see got any abnormal file.
I did a little investigation and found out that there was still Asphalt 7 files after uninstall. Now I have a bit over 2gb free space and 0,8gb of miscellaneous files. I don't know what are those files, maybe some app data + play music + YouTube player cache.
