(Leedroid2.3d) sense lockscreen when ringing?

Hi
Ive deleted the sense lockscreen apk from my rom (unlocks fine with vanilla lockscreen now)
but when phone rings whilst locked, the sense lockscreen still shows.
is there either an APK or some other file i can delete so the phone will show vanilla lockscreen when it rings?
thanks
Extract your ROM's com.resource.apk file from the system folder and inside you will find a folder named res. In that res folder search for anything that has "lock" in its name and replace those files with what you see fit (if you just delete them you may not be able to answer the phone ). The files i mentioned should be in /res/drawable-hpdi .

Nice work, soldier
Just what i needed to know
Worked a treat
Cheers
So what exactly did you replace the files with?
I would like to have the same done to my phone.
You can replace them with a lot of things. If you want a large choice,just get the files ffrom a Sense HD rom and pick from there, if not you can basically put anything you like in there as long as you keep the original names.

OspHome Folder

Hi all,
may i know what the OSpHome folder and its function? We know that all apps are also included on this folder aside from [email protected]@[email protected]@__
is it safe to delete some folder files here w/c is already deleted on [email protected]@[email protected]@_ folder?
ive noticed that even i deleted the apps, it is also deleted on [email protected]@[email protected]@_ but still in OspHome folder.
Thanks

storage/emulated/0/

can someone please explain to me why, since updating to 4.2, I have what looks like a duplicate of my SD card contents in a sub folder called storage/emulated/0/?
all my gallery apps, Gallery, DroidIris etc. see duplicates of all my pictures now?
And If I save a pic from a browser It points to the folders in storage/emulated/0/, not the SD card ones?
deleting any file in one folder effects the other, so it is probably not a true duplicate thats taking up space is it?
I assume this has to do with the multi user addition to 4.2, but I have not set up a second user at all.
Does this just occur to people upgrading, or to people who installed a fresh version as well?
Cheers.

I think this has been added as part of the multi-user feature and is where the data/content is stored for other users. It has been mentioned on the forum somewhere else, cant remember where I seen it though.
I also wondered this but then thought logically.
Two users using the same SD card wouldn't be a good idea.
So they sort of virtualise the SD card, and then when a new user is created a sort of partition is created for the user.
I was wondering what that was in ASTRO I thought it was something I did wrong and yes if you delete one file it will end up deleting both of them so be careful luckily I deleted some old downloads I didn't need anymore GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

thats all fine, thanks guys,
but now, if I download a new pic from dolphin browser to the /emulated/0/pictures folder, the gallery sees my SD/pictures as well as the /emulated/0/pictures folder, the original has 99 files in, and the new one 1 file in, both are called "pictures".
the "save picture as" action opens up its own file explorer, and it wont let me go back far enough in the file tree to access the SD/pictures folder so I can only save in the new /emulated/0 folder and its sub folders?
cheers.
I can't find the folder on my pc. I am trying to run a backup app and it stores it there. I try to replace the backup location to downloads for example and it won't work. It's driving me mad.
The linked directories are linked to look like separate directories but they link to what is called a mount point that the actual physical storage and the actual file. What you do in any of folders will be done in all the folders.
I'm still wrapping my mind and this and my Linux knowledge it's weak. So I'm not going to try to suggest how to deal with these folders. As much as possible I'm letting the app handle the files.

Same for me. Music player, gallery and other apps now show two copies of files. Any solution to fix this yet?

I think you are confusing a symlink'd directory with a second copy.
No one - so far - has reported a real problem related to duplicate file - so don't be expecting a fix.
Spend the time reading up on Linux directory structures instead.

This.
It's not broken do don't expect a fix. It only 'looks' like you have duplicate files. A change you make in any single place will show up in all locations. Delete a file in one place it will be gone everywhere. The whole file system is an optical illusion. Layers on layers of naming parts of the file system.
For instance /sdcard is actually /data/media/0 if you created another user on your tab they would get /data/media/1 but they would find their files under /sdcard in a file manager.

I understand that it is a link. As I said problem is that applications show two copies of all files put in /sdcard folder. Because applications treat each link as a separate file. This is exactly what the original poster and I wrote in our posts.
So far I fixed this problem for myself by deleting all files from /sdcard (they disappeared from other linked locations as well) and saving them back straight to /storage/emulation/0 (they appeared in other linked locations, including /sdcard, but this time the gallery and other apps show single copy of each file in their collections).
This is not confortable for a typical user to learn about all these linked folders and I consider it as a drawback of Jelly Bean.

I am trying to understand what you are seeing.
On my device, the gallery app only shows pictures in my user: emulated/0. This is from selecting a picture and then asking for info on it.
What apps are showing duplicates, other than a file explorer that you would expect to show symlinks?
I should add - are you copying pictures directly to /sdcard from somewhere else?
Well I had a problem...because of all the multiuser crap I was unable to restore a titanium backup cause of all the emulated directories that another user makes...I had to delete every /0 directory that it made cause if you install another Rom it makes a new /0 directory inside the other /0 directory so after flashing CM10, MIUI and slim bean I finished with a directory like this: sdcard0/0/0/0.

restoring backups seems to be a problem too in cwm. Hmm how to fix it

I ran into this problem with Titanium Backup and my Nexus 7. I was trying to copy the titanium backup folder on the Nexus 7 to my windows PC (also tried mac too) as it was taking up a lot of space on the Nexus but Windows and Mac wouldn't have any of it. It just copied the folder and not the contents. Android file Transfer manager on mac just keeped crashing. I did not try adb pull folder with WugFresh toolkit, so that may work. I ended up copying from the nexus 7 to a USB drive using an OTG cable.
I been looking into this too, this is what I find so far I did a fresh install after I installed my Rom I wipe storage on my N7 so I have a clean storage nothing on it about 27.80gb after I installed one game that is 2gb and its show on both storage emulated and 0 n after my available space is 23.72gb. So I think its does create a duplicate that take space. But Im not sure.I going to run some more tests. If this is true this kinda suck cus then my 32gb n7 is only 16gb then.
Ps. Also if u reboot ur n7 and u go to storage there is another folder under emulated with 0 with the same files you can deleted this folder is save you won't loose anything but if you reboot and go back to storage the file reappear and you can delete but once u reebot again it will reappear again and over again.

No way are there 2 copies of files (unless you are auto backing up, which I do). My free space was 3.9gb before and after 4.2. Have all the extra meaningless folders.
You could think of the emulated storage locations like a shortcut. You could place multiple shortcuts to your 'My Documents' folder on your desktop without creating multiple copies of 'My Documents'.
Same problem with Galaxy Nexus
I have the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.2.1
In my Windows Explorer i dont see the same files like in my Phone with Total Commander on my Storage.
This is not funny.

[Q] Flashing creates 0 folder

Hey guys, anyone know why or is having the same problem, I've flashed lots of roms but this time a folder named "0" was created and moved all of the folders and files from the root drive into that "0' folder. Then I flashed another rom and another "0" folder was created within that first folder and moved all the root folder and files into that one. Im using twrp and Im not doing anything different and its driving me nuts cuz everythings being tossed around in there and I dont know why!
It is happening to me too when I flash ParanoidAndroid on my N7 (although that has been the only rom that I have flashed on it thus far). But what I have been able to gather from reading around is that those sub folders is because of being able to add accounts now to Android. Although I haven't figured out why (or found a response as to why) it is moving them into a legacy folder (I think that is one of the folders is called that the info has been thrown into) and not been kept into the root folder or a way to fix it.
The 0 directory comes with the multiuser function of Android 4.2

You need to update your recovery. The latest version of TWRP works with the multiuser feature.

I need some stock files guys

I know this is a Samsung S7 forum. But I think the files will be very fimilar and thus the reason I am asking here as well.
I need your guys help. I am trying to create a data fix file for Note 4 for a note 7 rom. I need some files off of a note7. I need all of the following:
all files, folders and sub files under System/CSC. all files, folders and sub files under System/Etc, all just files under System. lastly I need the file under Data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml this file
you most likely don't even need root to get these as you won't be modifying anything just copying them.
the size of the combined files should be under 10 megs zipped.
Or if anyone knows of a way I can use a stock firmware to extract files from it that would be awesome. However I have yet to find a way.
In the note 4 sprint forums we are having a hell of a time trying to get the note 7 roms to work on the note 4 for SMS, MMS, DATA, Phone calls. this would help out a ton if someone can do this for me.
Thank you guys.
I REALLY REALLY need Customer.xml and Others.xml ASAP however I really need the rest as well
