I accidentaly deleted some pics a while ago and installed the Undeleter app to try to get them back. I managed to find all the pics and recovered them, but amongst the files that it found as being deleted i got some strange results. I found screencaps of my activities; such as received calls, different apps/games, random camera snaps, etc. And quite a lot of them. Can anyone help me find out where they come from? i just flashed my N5(LTE) with 5.0.1 rooted.

Possibly overview (recent apps) cache, but I can't be sure about that

You're right, i even tested your theory. They are screencaps used for overview. At first i thought it was some kind of virus; someone monitoring me
Thank you Lethargy

Hi mate, im the developer of the app. You can find the apps thread on xda here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-undeleter-t2849045/
Yes, these are various files that are not usually exposed by the media scanner. You can filter them away by using the "Hide extant files" filter.
Thank you for the tip and thank you for the great apps. Keep up the good work.

Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.
I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.
Any ideas for why this happening?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue
Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.
The email app, really? Why does that affect the camera apps?

To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?
Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.
Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?

Yes reinstalling the email apk should fix it as it as on all the roms with this issue. If you cant find it have a look at the Phoenix thread and grab the email zip from the FAQ

Reinstalled stock email, rebooted the phone and now everything works fine.
Thanks for this, I never would have guessed that a missing email app was the problem here. Strange bug.

I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

Hello everyone
I searched the web and somehow it looks like nobody else tried it before. Weird.
Anyway, after long time I've decided to backup my whatsapp photos and move them to the computer. There are a lot of images from many different people, and I want to organize the photos in different directories according to the different contacts. I can't do it one by one, and unsuccessfully tried to find an automatic tool/app for that.
It must be possible to do, since when I enter a contact there an option to see the media only with that person, but I don't even know at which file that information should be.
Does someone know or have a solution for me?
Thanks as lot:angel:

any solution yet?
Wandering to see if there's any solution yet
Hi everybody.
I made my own solution a few months ago. It works pretty well, but it was not a phone app, and it requires some technical skills: https://peremolto.net/projects/whatsapp-organizer-script/README.txt
Seems to be a wanted tool, so I am also currently developing it as an Android native application.

Hi,
I just received the KitKat update for my phone in which i didnt like at first... And well now i HATE it as it just caused me a 48 hour argument with my girlfriend.
Anyway, the issue is exactly as i have described... After the update photos that i have previously deleted now magically reappeared in my Gallery... Including the ones of my ex which my girlfriend found which caused a HUGE argument with my current partner.. Why did this happen?
I dont backup my phone and i dont have it synced with my google account... Ive very concerned with my privacy and dont want my information stored with Google and all that Jazz. I dont have the photos stored to my SIM card nor do i have them located elsewhere other than the Gallery.
How can i be sure that what i delete actually gets deleted? This is extremely strange and a little violating to me.
Appreciate the help... Save me from future grief please!
Guystillintrouble.
Aliens...
If they did that, I guarantee you have them backed up somewhere.

Go to your Google account with a web browser or install Google+ from the Play Store (you're looking for an app called Photos with a pinwheel icon) and make sure your photos are permanently deleted
Thank you kindly CWG.
I removed Google photos long ago when I first saw it install with an update. I tried logging onto my Google account and the only photo I saw was the one I have set as my profile picture for google+.
Definitely at a loss here.

Hmm, that is unusual. Not sure what to tell you.
Hey everyone! I have a problem with every N rom i've tried, that in some app like google photos, the default wallpaper picker, and the inbuilt file manager, lot of my camera pictures (from a specific date), and some of my wallpaper folders doesn't show up. But in other apps like totalcommander or Quickpic they are there. Do you guys have any ideas what's causing this? On MM roms everything works fine, and i haven't read anything like this from other users. I would appreciate any help or idea

If i snap a pic now its gona be there, but if i change to a different N rom or just do a clean flash, then the last photos the apps gonna show, those will be the ones i took in april. And with other wallpaper directories, the half of them are there but the other half is missing.

Are your photos dependent on Google Photos? Maybe they're in the cloud and can be accessed on another device.
Also, use a root file manager to search your device for all *.jpg.

Yeah tried already with google search but couldnt find anything that would be useful. But the link you gave me had one trick that seems to be good, or at least kind of, it's weird, but i have all the photos and walls for now.
Thank you for your help sir.
