I'm trying to edit vold.fstab to make my main storage my internal storage, but when ever I try to save it with Astro, Astro closes saying "Unfortunately, ASTRO has stopped." With another file manager, when I try to save it says Error, cannot be saved So it isn't from the file manager but idk, any help on how I can save it without a problem?
Basically, how can I allow it to save without crashing/error/having a problem, ive heard of something called fixing permissions, should I do that?

Which ROM are you using?
I would use Root Explorer if I were you. It is the most robust file manager app I have and the built in editor has no problems reading and saving these files. It also makes automatic backups of the file you are editing so that you can revert at any time. I definitely say it is worth the money.
Its fine now. Ty

I keep getting an "Insufficient storage" message when trying to reinstall Rom Toolbox Pro after having deleted it. I previously had the same issue with poweramp before using root explorer to find the app's cached data file and deleting it. Does anyone know the name of the file for this one?
I'm getting this when trying to update a few apps in the market. Titanium backup shows that my ROM is only about 790 MB. I haven't tried moving apps to the SD card. My internal storage is showing several GB free.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Performed backup, wiped cache+dalvik, rebooted. No help. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
You have a rogue .odex file in your /data/app folder. Probably left there by lucky patcher if you have been using that. remove the .odex file and you will be fine.
Seems I have a few folders named data...
Internal>Android>data
Internal>data
Can you give me the full path?

you only have one /data/app folder found in the root folder
It is not on internal - that is your internal sd storage space. It is on your data partition - you will need to use esfile explorer or root explorer.
Since I'm having the issue with FX file explorer from next app, could it be that one seen in the screen shot? I only see 3 odex files in this folder. Safe to delete all three?

Have you used lucky patcher to patch them?
Something has cracked these apps. You only need to remove the orphaned ones to solve your issue. If they have a corresponding .apk, the app will force close if you remove the .odex as well.
I didn't use lucky patcher on this that I remember. Is it safe to delete the odex files if all I have to do is then reinstall those that force close?

The three that have odex are titanium backup, gauge battery widget, and FX file explorer. Might have tried to lucky patch on TiB.

None of them should be odexed so something has odexed them. Yes you can uninstall them, remove the .odex files and uninstall. Whether it fixes your problem remains to be seen.
I used root explorer to delete the associated odex of next app FX file explorer. Reinstallation of FX successful. Thanks!

I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
I've been changing a lot of ROMs lately and I've noticed that internal memory of the phone sometimes has different names, like sdcard0, sd and any other.
Which is why when going from 1 ROM to another whatsapp saves the path of received photos with original root folder name and can't open many pictures on another ROM.
Am I right about the reason and is there a fix for that?
At least could smb say where to find the file where this path is saved so that I could manually rename the wrong paths.
And if I'm wrong about that what's the reason for whatsapp being unable to open photos on new ROM?
It is because of vold.fstab replace vold.fstab from the top previous rom and set permissions (you must be rooted to perform this)
And vold.fstab is found inside system/etc folder

So what do I need to do?
I should have saved this file from previous rom?
Have you kept the same SIM card? have you tried reinstalling the app? I've never had any problems with whatsapp before...

How is simcard related?
And no I didn't install the app, I anticipated the problem with unopening pictures with my magic powers.
Hey I have a rooted s3 and I can not get any root manager app to: edit, delete nor rename any files, not even stuff in the downloads folder.
I also noticed that my dropbox can't install anything either, just says "storage full or unavailable" but my storage is fine, i have over 9gb of internal storage left.
I patched titanium backup with lucky patcher and I know once I had a message about not having enough storage but got it fix by deleting some file in /sys/app folder i think could this have anything to do with it?
P.S. I've tried fixing permissions in TWRP and it didn't help
P.S. I actually don't think any of my apps have permissions to access the internal memory. I just tired using viber and the app can't even look for a picture from my gallery to sent...
What could be causing this guys?? Could it be a bad root? What should I do, I don't really wanna reinstall my rom and then reroot, its too much work.
