Does anybody know if there is a way to get rid of ringtones that have been deleted from the /system/media/audio file from the system settings interface. I put the galaxy nexus ringtones in the audio file and I'm ending up with duplicates, triplets, etc. In the system settings interface. I'll post screenshots in a sec

This can be deleted. I fixed permissions and all is well
Edit: Never mind they all showed back up again after a few seconds
You can delete them by making the /system partition re-writable. If they're still showing up after a reboot, you might need to wipe the davlik cache. Or they're located somewhere on your SD card.

Thanks that did the trick. I had a bunch of folders on my SD card with the same audio files in them.

OK, so I'm going to give it one more try and install a custom rom. When formatting in cwm, I see format boot, format system, format data, format cache, and format sdcard. Which one does NOT get formatted so I do not lose the rom zip file I am installing? I'm assuming format sdcard would be the one I would leave alone, but not sure. Thanks.
I think I figured it out. I formatted everything except boot and sdcard and everything seems to be working good. Also, I chose not to copy home screen in go launcher settings and no longer have the problem of my home screen duplicating itself after every reboot. I'm back on zeus baby!
All but sdcard. Bit of a late answer but I myself usually format all but the sdcard.
All you need to format is system, data, and cache

Formatting sdcard will erase the sdcard, no need to format it unless your having problems with it.

Ok, just today my pictures + videos stopped showing up in MX Player or Gallery. My music shows up after an extensive scan from Poweramp (87 seconds when it normally only takes 10-20 seconds) I can also access storage via a file browsing app with no problems. I've already tried fixing permissions to no avail. Any idea what could be happening? Help?

I deleted the .nomedia file but google music still doesn't see the 5gb of music on my phone when i check the box that says on device only. It gives the me message saying to see my full library to uncheck on device only. I'm running the 8/2 build of JB with the built in kernel on my NS4G.

Did you guys update rom manager? If you're stock, I don't believe there's anything you can do (nothing I've heard of anyway) If you're running a custom ROM, try reflashing the ROM and gapps and they should show up. (Read in another thread that it worked) Rom manager really screwed us over.

this happen to me and i solve it.
del ".nomedia" at the root path of sdcard, and then reboot. the media service will scan you sdcard, after a few minute you will find you media files again.

What I did:
Update Rom Manager -- delete any .nomedia files from your sd card -- clear cache/data on gallery/music/etc -- clear data on media storage --wipe cache/dalvik -- reboot Flashing won't get rid of the .nomedia files on SD
Maybe some unnecessary steps but worked
Found another instance of the .nomedia file. Found it by going in the Android folder then into the Data folder. Deleted it, cleared cash in gallery and music, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik then rebooted phone. It now sees my music with the on device only box checked.
Hello everyone,
I have a serious problem here. Before factory reset everything was just fine (except that my phone won't connect to my google account, but i already fixed that) Now after factory reset i can't move some apps/games to my sd card! It's annoying because i have just 160MB internal storage, and now its just less than 50MB free. I heard about all those app2sd apps and so on, but they say that it's can't be movable to sd card, when i was able to do so before the factory reset. And this is a little bit tricky because before factory reset i had this option in my settings->application setting menu, a "preferred install location" and when i pressed that it opened a menu with 3 options:
1.Removable SD card
2.Let the system decide
3.Internal memory.
When i selected external SD card it allowed me to move almost every app (except updates to the pre-installed apps like maps, youtube, facebook etc.) But now there is no option "preferred install location"... So the question is: what i should do, to make this option available again?
My phone is Huawei U8650 sonic with stock-fresh android 2.3.5
I was googling for this problem for 2 days and no answer. I also posted this problem on 2 other forums but nobody knows the answer Please can somebody here help me? I would really appreciate that.
English is not my native language - sorry for mistakes and have a good day!
You could try the app - Link2SD - this app can move almost everything because it replaces the original app with a link.
Apart from that, have u tried to boot into recovery and run repair permissions and cleanded dalvik cache?
Hope I could help.

Really, Im not advanced enough in android to understand what you mean, but i think I'll try to do what you said, and i will reply if it worked or not. Oh yeah does this method need root?
EDIT: so i entered the recovery menu and all I got is;
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe misc partition
touchscreen firmware update
I wiped the misc and cache partition, gonna try now.
EDIT 2: no luck, wiping cache and misc didn't helped...
Link2SD is an app you can dowload from the play store - yes I think it needs root - but it is simple as simple to use like any app 2 sd - just give it a try :fingers-crossed:
S2E is good one :thumbup:

You can use apps2sd or android assistant or do yourself
1) goto settings
2) application
3) manage
4) select app
5) click on move to SD card.
That's it.

Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

I personally did it this way on the advice of the developer of synergy and worked flawless
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.

So I just connected my phone to the computer, where I found an extra TitaniumBackup folder. The said folder was located in storage/emulated. Here, the "storage" folder itself was located in the Internal Storage, that shows up on the PC. (I hope I'm clear)
Since there was a more current TitaniumBackup folder already sitting in the root, I decided to delete the extra one inside the sdcard folder.
After deleting, I've lost everything I had on the device. I checked in a file explorer app, and all I had in the internal memory was the Android folder. Apps are working fine at the moment, but camera app asks me to insert an SD card. The amount of free space also suggests all data has been wiped.
What do I do rectify this? I'm guessing remounting in recovery should do it, but I'm not sure. A simple reboot could fix it too I guess, but I'm not sure again.

This is what you're talking about? check picture attached.
And which folder you actually deleted?
Oh yes, it's storage that I deleted, not sdcard
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It's a mirror storage link that also the same as your main storage.
Deleting the storage meaning deleting your main storage too I would assumed.
Edit:
For the camera asking to insert new SDcard or something. You need to clear data in Settings - Apps for camera.
And the rest of your data in your storage is gone for good now.
Cleared the camera app data, didn't help. You'd say a reboot should help?

If clearing data and a reboot doesn't work it's factory reset time, at least that would be the easiest way.
I guess I panicked more than I should have. Reboot fixed that, so I don't have to reset now
Thanks for chiming in guys

I wiped internal storage in twrp, will the camera data wipe also work when I did that?
