Hello,
I have a Nexus 6P running LineageOS 15.1.
So I have a folder with 5000 images.
When I copy this folder to my phone, I can see that the folder only has 4991 images.
So I though 9 images must have failed in copying (although I didn't get any error).
So I copied the same folder from my phone to another folder on my PC and it showed it had 5000 images.
I find this really strange, Android shows that the folder has 4991 images while Windows shows that it has 5000 images.
What is this happening? None of the images are hidden in the Windows filesystem, neither do they have a dot in front of them to be hidden on a Linux file system.
Bump.
Is it a bug of Lineage OS?

I connected my phone via USB to my computer, selected all folders/files, and copied them to my PC. The operation stopped a few times (I believe when the phone went to sleep when I forgot to keep doing something every 10 minutes). I selected the last folder which was copied (alphabetical order) plus the rest of the files and continued copying.
I'm worried I may have missed some folders or perhaps hidden system files, etc. I'm trying to take a complete backup before flashing a new ROM. How can I list/view the # of files and folders on my device? I can easily do it on the PC and I'd like to compare to ensure I have everything. Please help.
Hi there!
I recently tried to move a folder with image files from my Moto G to my computer. Android 4.4.2, USB driver from the Motorola site. I used an USB cable and accessed the folder via the USB mass storage function of Windows Explorer. However, after a short time, the file transfer stopped, the file transfer window disappeared. In the target folder, there were now 137 files, but in the source folder, about 300 files were missing. Adding to that, the 137 files copied seem to be still in the source folder. To sum this up, the system (Vista x64, but also same with Windows 7 x64) seems to have copied 137 files, and deleted 300 on the Moto G. I tried to copy all the files again a couple of times, but every time to no avail. The file numbers have varied, sometimes I have got 122, mostly 137. The transfer seems to always stop at a certain file.
Is there anyone who can make sense of this phenomenon and tell me whether I'm able to restore the missing files, and to successfully copy the files?
Thanks!
Can anyone advise of how to locate the vendor folder on Android TV Boxes? I would like to export a file in the same folder so even after a clean wipe up those files remain there.
Also what will be the best way to connect the boxes with Windows laptop and transfer the files to Vendor folder? Is there any particular tool or will it be drag and drop into the folder?
Apologies being a naive and thanks for all your support.
When I copy text containing images in android 4.4.4 and paste it somewhere else, the text pastes but none of the images.
Is there a way around that or is it an android problem?
Android OS doesn't support this feature AFAIK but you can do it with StuffMerge.
I have a BLU phone that was my only source of contacts with no Google or backup (yes, I know). It was dropped a significant distance. It won't show any indication of charging or powering up, no lights or sounds. However when I plugged in the USB port I noticed the toggling of the USB driver install, typical for a MTK device so I decided to try to read from it with SPFlash tool.
To try to get at the contacts I downloaded a factory restore ROM and loaded the scatter file to see what location I needed to seek to find the user data for download. I first found userdata.img location from the factory scatter file and set up SPF under the ReadBack tab and used the Add button to specify a range beginning with and including the same numbers where the scatter file indicated the user data was, plus with SPF tool I stated I wanted the user data area read and saved as userdata.img. Now clicking on the read and then plugging the phone in with the read button pre-pushed, the SPF tool took off reading as soon as the dead phone USB was plugged in, operating just like I was flashing or writing to the phone. (Excitement was mounting.)
From here on my Windows machine I installed DiskInternals Linux Reader and mounted the userdata.img with that software and was able to navigate to the db file containing the contacts and the android call list located at
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db.
Now the DiskInternals software allowed me to save the contacts2.db as a Windows file anywhere on the laptop but when I tried to open it with SQLite, it said the file is encrypted. I viewed the file using a Linux friendly editor (Context) and saw some names and numbers in readable text, but they were surrounded by tons of formatting and unprintable characters. (Looked something like a MS Word docx file.) I also tried the FireFox plugin for SQLite in addition to the SQLiteManager and the SQLite browser software. All of them said the file had a password that was needed to open it. (Exit excitement.)
Now it looks like my options are to either try to find someone or thing that can hack the password of the contacts2.db, locate the password perhaps hidden somewhere in a system.img that I can attempt to extract via the same method as I did the userdata, or I can try to assemble a working group of restore "parts" which include this userdata.img, adding it to some mix of the restore file and other IMG files I can possibly extract from the "bricked all but for flash tool" mostly dead phone. Theoretically, with such a reassembled package of IMG files I would then go look for an exact same model of this bricked phone and then try to load the new assembly of IMG files onto that good used phone.
I am open for suggestions of how to solve the puzzle. The objective is to get a list of readable contacts from the crashed phone and ideally get them exported into a format that can be input into another phone.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Android 5.0 on the phone
