JB stock download not playing well with others - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I normally move downloaded items on my Xoom to cloud storage at the end of the day, however when attempting uploads to Drop box, GDrive, or Box I get constant force closes and the process fails. Originally thought it was the Drop box app, but when it failed on all 3 I figured something was not quite right. Went into ES File Explorer and quickly moved the files to the cloud. Went into the app settings to clear data and cache, but not an option. Anyone else having problems?
Stock MZ604 with OTA 4.1.1. No other issues, loving JB!

[FUNCTIONAL][CM7] HONEYCOMB Music Player w/[CLOUD SYNC] w/ Correct Instructions-eMaN

ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL. Thanks to lws803 for OWNER OF ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS + me for instruction edits to make it work. NOTHANKS to KarateExplosion6 for giving NO CREDIT to us and copying thread exactly. His isn't as functional
These instructions work for both CDMA HERO from SPRINT and the HTC DROID ERIS from VERIZON
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING make sure you make this path/folder on your sdcard /media/Music and place all your music there or music will NOT sync. Delete Your original music app if running a non-Sense based rom.
1.5. Download the music apk here. -----> http://www.mediafire.com/?j73zh5ld7bpcbqn
2. Open the apk using Root Explorer from your phone or from your computer with winrar
3. Open the lib folder and the 'armeabi-v7a' folder and extract 'libjumper.so' to root of sdcard. If on computer put it to your desktop
4. If you used a computer connect your phone to your computer and copy the 'libjumper.so' and the music.apk file to the root of your sd card
5. Using root explorer, go to your sd card and copy the 'libjumper.so' file and paste it in your phone system/lib
6. rename your honeycomb music apk into 'Music.apk' and make sure its in the root of your sdcard
7. close root explorer and go to terminal emulator(available on Market)
8.then type
su
[enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[enter]
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
[enter]
9. Then go to root explorer again and into system>app and long press on Music.apk.
10. select permissions and make sure the check boxes have a inverted (upside down) L shaped pattern
11. close your root explorer and reboot your phone
12. You should see a bown coloured music icon on your phone's app list enjoy!
13. eMaN edit: To initiate sync go to Setting, Accounts & Sync , click on your google account and there will be options you can check and check music
14. Go to your apps and open Jumpertest app(has the music icon) then click on acounts tab, choose your gmail account, next go to the tab that has start peer, stop peer, and import media.
15. (HOW CLOUD WORKS) Ok this is the important step to initiate sync. Once following step 14 on that tab click start peer and wait 5 seconds. Next click import media and wait 5 seconds and the sync should initiate and BOOM there you have it sync may take several hours if you have a lot of music.
Also make sure in the music app u hit menu/library something/ and only stream
Make sure you tell your buddies and pals about this.
I'll try this soon, I actually wanted this for a week or so.
Looks like I'll need to nandroid first though.
EDIT: Wait, it really needs Root Explorer? Darn, I guess I finally have to break down and get it.

IMHO, root explorer is one if those apps that no rooted device should be without. Along with titanium backup. Both are excellent.

im trying this now. how do I know if its syncing?
also, will i not be able to access the music files on my sd?
I couldnt find them in my music app.
[EDIT] Nevermind, I think ive got it syncing now.
I followed the steps, synced a couple of songs, deleted them from my sdcard, after that they still showed up when i pressed "only streamed" but when i try to play them it "buffers" for 2 seconds and then says "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file." All files are mp3s.
I have no idea why but it works for me using an Eris and this one Guy with a sprint phone. Its 5am ill look into it laterz
I tried this on CSouth Hero and it installed fine and I believe it is syncing as we speak.
Question: Does it have to completely complete syncing before music begins to show up? I'll found out soon anyways since I didn't have much music on here.
Installed fine, synced well. Thanks!!!
Guys, it's NOT syncing in the sense that it is actually uploading music to the cloud at this time. Anyone telling you different is lying. It is simulating syncing, but not actually doing it; it is syncing file indexes...that's why the titles appear even if you remove the sd card but get the error saying "cannot play this type of file".
REPEAT: it is NOT uploading to cloud yet. Don't believe anyone who says they've got it working. It's a load.
Obv., it's nigh and will be happening soon. But not yet.
I'm finding step 10 a little confusing.
Mind clearing that up a bit?
EDIT: Never mind, got it to work. Thanks.
Hello,
You may want to make it clear to all users that the permissions for both Music.apk and libjumper.so need to be set to R,W,-,R,-,-,R,-,-. Also all steps can be completed using Root Explorer without the need to use Terminal Emulator. I seemed to have the same results doing it both ways. This is a great music program but since it was designed for a tablet there seems to be issues playing music in portrait mode at least with my phone running 2.3.3. I do have a tablet but it is only running 2.1, has there been a mod released to allow this application to run in 2.1?
Cheers

[Q] Internal Storage Full Issue

So I check my Xoom out this morning and Boom "Low on Space 'Tablet storage space is getting low'. It is impossible that I filled all of the space. I looked at my breakup and i have about 6Gb of music and it says the rest is completely full due to applications. I look at my applications but I only have about 3GB worth of application and data attributed to saves (manually counting). For the most part, besides the stock honeycomb apps, these apps are the same that I have on my Droid1. Which has much smaller storage. Somehow some app is taking up all the space (which i can't identify), the OS is corrupted, or I have a virus. Everything else has been pretty mainstream applications.
I have the OTA update and my Xoom has never been rooted.
Is anyone else having this problem?
A lot of people got this issue. It is being discussed in the Motorola official Xoom forum. But still no one know what's the root cause.

Hi Everyone,
For those users not yet experiencing this but wants to see whats going on, I made a video. There is also a way to check to see if this is occurring to you by checking out your internal storage on the Xoom.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWFeq0Qj3iA
Is there anyone else experiencing this issue on their Xoom?
It happened to me last night while playing WordFeud. I get the two line message "Low on space" and "Tablet storage space is getting low"
There is no way that I am using 25 gig in applications.
Thanks,
Dan
My initial guess is that it is Application specific. My xoom has 628Mb for Applications. I think maybe some app that each of you is using is continuing to pull in data and not deleting it over time. Maybe something like a news stream or something else. I would chat with the others having this problem and see what similar apps you have.
Just a thought. Sounds odd, I agree.. but.. a place to start. Maybe akin to a memory leak.
Thanks for the quick reply, eaglecomm. Your suggestion makes sense. In looking around a little this morning, I see that some people thought it might be the Google Body app, which I had installed. I uninstalled it, but it didn't make a difference.
It turns out that there is a fix coming in the next update.
The thread is at the Motorola Owners Forum titled 'XOOM Storage is Full' problem - 47 apps takes up 27 GB?
Since I am a new member here, I cannot post the actual link.
I thought I would post this info for any other Xoom owners that are have this concern.
I am glad to see it is being addessed.
Thanks,
Dan
My Xoom is not indicating that it is low on storage, but the applications do seem to be taking up an inordinate amount of space. Funky little bug.
On a positive note, it is good to know that the functionality of this device will only get better over time.
Tombstones
Are any of you able to look at the sizes of the files in /data/tombstones? I had the same problem and did some digging and found a tombstone file that is 19 GB. It appears to have been generated by a browser crash. If any of you are having the problem can you open a terminal and go to /data/tombstones and find the biggest file and type cat (name of biggest file) and tell us the name of the process (listed after pid). You may need to be rooted and may need busybox for cat to work. I doubt it's only the browser... I'm curious to know if it's a honeycomb thing with how it tombstones app crashes.
Have you tried using a cache cleaner ? I use 1 Tap Cleaner and Fast Cache Cleaner .
Try using DiskUsage to view what is using up your storage. If you're rooted it gives you even more options to view specific folders. If you've ever used WinDirStat then this is the closest thing android has to it that I've found.

Although Moto is promising an update "soon" to fix this, the problem has been getting reported on for over 45 days now. Some people were hit with this early and some more recently - like myself. This one was sort of the last straw for me. I had to do a factory reset on mine (in Settings) in order to resolve this issue; which hasn't reared its ugly head again since. However, between that mess, and no SD card, SMS, etc, I finally got fed up and rooted mine so that I could use the Tiamat kernel and at least add a 32 GB SD card in the slot provided. Rooting also allowed for Clockwork Recovery (which I love) so making modifications is much easier. If and when Motorizon decides to provide us with the 4G update, then I'll flash it back to stock. However, in the right here and now, I needed a tablet for my work and didn't have the luxury to sit around with my hands tied and wait for Moto to finally have pity on us and provide what they hyped us with. The XOOM has become too integral a part of my work and home life. The product answered a lot of needs - some I didn't even realize that I had. I'll just have to do the extra step now of flashing back to stock when (and if) update time finally comes around. Until then, I'm moving forward and I've got WORK to do!! Yippee kyy-yaayyyy!!
I have this problem and looked in my folders trying to find large files using ES File Explorer. I have found a repeating set of folders here:
/sys/module/usbhid/drivers/hid:generic-usb/module/drivers/hid:generic-usb/module
These folders keep going and going and going. I tried to look at the properties of the sys/module folder but the file size kept going and going and going. I ran it all night and it was still running in the morning at 1.25GB and counting. Is it safe to delete the repeating set of folders? Does anyone know what these folders are used for?

Looks to me like a recursive bug where the folder or device is continually being created inside itself, it would cause everything from unstable os to complete unresponsiveness and even filling up the storage.

Rom Manager lag?

First off as a first time poster but long time reader, hello everyone.
Now my concern is, is anyone else having issues with Rom Manager lagging? I'm running newest release from Market(v4.2.0.2) and when I start the app, the little waiting circle keeps circling and circling, I can access all the main functions except manage/restore roms. It just doesn't load up the backup files. Even on the main menu the app appears to be still loading, though I can access Reboot in Recovery and Fix Permissions actions. Just not the manage/restore part.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, FC/wipe data, and even FC > wipe data > uninstall > reboot > reinstall from Market. The issues still remain.
Thanks in advance for any help an insight.
I'm getting a similar problem. For me, when I open the app, the screen is black for some time (the app is an empty black screen), and then it shows the available functions.

same here, maybe it's checking for updates off the internet? i have noticed that sometime the text of the menus shows up before the icons next to the text...so maybe that bit of the programming needs tweaking....
And I thought it was only me.

Mine only begun this problem after CM7. I'm going to be out for awhile, but perhaps someone could post a logcat while RomMan is opening?
It stalls for a second or two before the menu shows up for me, too. It also can't see my backups, but when I go into recovery they are there.
It's always been this way for me no matter what phone I use. It's gotten slightly better over time but it's still super dogish. It's going online and checking all the resources looking for the new ROM/kernel versions and now it pulls back ratings and comments too.
Rom manager looks for backups in the internal SD and CWR creates your backups to external SD. You can manually move them when mounted to computer or file manager of some sort if you want but in general rom manager is buggy for our phones due to tegra processor.
Multiple threads in the development section explain further, however you shouldnt be using rom manager to flash anything right now based off their reccomendations including the recovery (use NVflash). See the development section as well as use the old school flashing methods until a fix is implemented.
These guys are getting flooded with the same questions and problems so be sure to read the OP instructions and search the thread for your individual problems for there sake.

Odd file explorer/file association problem

Hi.
So, this is what happened.
Was watching an avi movie on Rockplayer, and I paused it and turned the screen off and forgot about it till this morning when I tried to turn it on and the battery was completely dead and it was off.
I charged it up and left it.
This afternoon when I tried out the new Micro SD card, I navigated to the folder to play a video off it with ES explorer and when I clicked on the file. the screen went greyed and nothing happened.
The file was an mp4, so it should have at least launched and asked if I wanted to play in stock or rock player or whatever, but nothing.
I tried file explorer HD, IO explorer and from the gallery and it just wouldn't play and of the mp4's from internal or external memory, just the same thing... greyed out screen and nothing.
AVI's play fine from the explorers, booting straight into rockplayer and playing, but it seems that files that would normally ask me which app to use, no longer work, including docx files.
If I go to rock player, it seems to work fine, just not from the explorers. Also the stock video app won't play them either when I navigate through it to them.
Quick office pro will open docx files from within as well.
So, to try fix this I went into the app settings and force stopped and cleared cache of everything that might be even remotely related, recking my layout in the process.
Still no joy.
So, I'm guessing it has something to do with the file associations or something.
Any ideas?
If not, how I do I safely wipe to default. It is stock US wifi with 3.2.
Or is it time for me to finally give in and root and try a kernel that actually works with the Micro SD?
If so can anyone point me in the right direction, if I do pick one, it must be really stable!
I'm not particularly attached to any of the data on the Xoom, I have backed up and can get it all again.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Jayd

Try this: when the screen goes grey (at the time when you should have a dialog box popup asking which application you want to use) just rotate the Xoom, making it redraw the dialog box. It is said that once this is done, the problem won't appear again with that app.
let us know if it works.
Thanks for the quick reply.
That is great advice
Unfortunately, I was hasty to get it working and I unlocked and rooted my Xoom.
Ya, that was dumb, I know, since I now made this whole thread pointless. Although now at least other people might find your advice and be able to try it.
Sorry about that. And yes, as expected, unlocking did fix it since it wiped the data.
Thanks
Although, now that I have joined the rooting ranks, what is the Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.1 "Hammerhead" like?
Is it stable? Does it still have all the Xoom functionality? Does it work with the SD nicely?
What motivated you to go to it?
Ya, I know they have the Dev section, but it is way too much information everywhere.
Got bored again and also installed the Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.1 "Hammerhead" ROM. It's really cool. I like that the things that were supposed to be fixed by moto-goog are now fixed. Thanks devs

Great! You know you would have rooted eventually, this problem just gave you the justification.
Keep the screen rotate fix in mind...the problem you encountered seems to be from the HC3.2 update, and it may happen again.

Large file transfer to SD card failing

I'm trying to transfer my pictures and videos from my Nexus 4. There is about 8GB. I first transferred them to my laptop and then plugged in the Nexus 5 to transfer them to the new phone.
The phones android.process.media keeps crashing 1/4 of the way through the transfer. Even when I limit it to 100 pics at a time there is still some crashing somewhere. I just can't get a big batch of pics/vids to transfer.
Any idea why?
I get that too. Someone else reported it too. Not sure how to fix it right now though.

In a pinch, you could try sending an entire folder via adb push. If you don't have ADB set up and working yet, there are guides available. I realize the average end-user shouldn't have to do this but it's worth a mention.
For example:
adb push ./bigassphotofolder /sdcard/bigassphotofolder
And then wait... quite a while... until it finishes.
An alternate "cloud solution" if you don't need them all stored locally is to put them in Google+ Photos.
Use Airdroid and wifi instead. Excellent app.

That's a disadvantage yes. Also if you are using a desktop computer with multiple USB ports, make sure you are connected directly to a rear port and not to a hub or a front port. That can make a real speed difference.
Hello
I'm having the same problem trying to transfer files from my Nexus 4 to my Nexus 5.
I'm using adb push and while some folders would transfer without problems, others would simply get stuck halfway. No error message or anything. It's just stops and I have to Ctrl+C and retry and the whole operation.
It's frustrating yesterday I've spent the whole day with this and I still could finish copying the files, so I'm still on my old phone.
Is there anything reliable like adb push but with resume support, or at least that skips existing files?
Thanks.

Thanks. I ended up using SSHDroidPro. Paired with WinSCP I was able to transfer everything over, and finally I'm using my new phone. Up until now I was under the impression that a USB cable was faster than Wi-Fi, and that adb was the most robust way of moving files. I guess I was wrong on both fronts. Oh well, I learned something new
Cheers.
The easiest way to prevent the FCs is to do as follows:
1. When copying audio/video etc, select 'Camera (PTP)' as the connection from the statusbar dropdown.
2. When copying music, select 'Media device (MTP)'
No more FCs.
I just got my nexus last night and I did the same thing as op and was getting the same error. Will try some other things when I get home tonight.

I have the same issue on my Nexus 5 and glad it's not just me. I never had anything like this happen on my Note 2 so it was really weird seeing it happen.
I had to resort to using Airdroid, which is highly annoying because anything over 100 files takes forever to load into the web interface and even has Chrome thinking the tab has crashed when it hasn't. I had to load files 100 at a time onto my Nexus 5.
I hope Google can fix this. Does anyone know if a bug report was filed? Is Google aware of this issue?
Hmm I have around 2500 pictures and 1k songs to transfer...I think I might wait for a better solution

I have almost 2000 wallpapers that I use with a rotation app. Air droid worked for transferring them all as I was having the same issue.
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
On a related note, I have noticed with past transfers that adb pull does not preserve created/modified date flags, while adb push does. In particular it does this with photos which then confuses the gallery. So often I have had to use Windows copy to dump files without losing the date stamp, and adb push to put everything back en masse.
(Sigh, I do miss the days when this entire process consisted of moving a microSD to the new phone)
