How to modify the files in subfolders of android/data on android 14, I tried shizuku + ZArchiver or FV file explorer and it doesn't work, i connected my phone to my computer and tried to edit files from there also using adb and it doesn't work, I tried the files app by Marc and used splitscreen but even that doesn't work. Is there a way to modify (specifically push files into android/data) **not just read** the files, as even before trying shizuku or all these I could already view the files and copy them out of android/data, but I couldn't copy anything in, or edit or delete anything. To clarify I am talking about the /sdcard/android/data folder not /data/data and I need a way push files in, I could already view and pull files out from before

I know it sounds like a recurring topic, but I would really like to know how to modify the contents of the Data folder in Android 14. I am currently using a Xiaomi 14T that has HyperOS (1.0.8.0.UNEMIXM) and Android 14 UP1A.231005.007. I have used tools like Shizuku and they have not worked for me, nor can I get that menu to appear to give permissions to a certain file explorer, since the Data folder simply does not appear. For example, I have used Super File Manager Explorer, which allows me to see the Data folder, and all the content of the applications but it does not let me edit, delete or add anything. I do not want to become an expert in programming, because I am not, therefore I will not try to move or do strange processes that can damage my device, also I do not want to Root it because I have no idea how to do it, nor because of the issue of updating it manually and that method is known to leave smartphones in a loop, so Root is not an option. Does anyone know of a safe way to edit the data folder? I'm not very experienced in this area, but I thought of deleting the default "Files" app on the device, but I'm sure that would cause more than one problem. As I said, Shizuku didn't work for me with either the wireless or wired method.

Android phone does not show up on file manager when cable is connected. Thunar is my file manager. I am using Ubuntu-Mate. It used to work ? My phone is a samsung a25. Can someone help me?

I have an android app (uses sqlite db) that I created and installed on my device. It's an app for my personal use. It's debuggable and its /data/data folder is accessible from the PC with adb pull. Even overwriting the sqlite database file is possible from device explorer from within Android Studio on the PC. The device is not rooted. I was wondering if there is a way to modify the sqlite db file within /data/data from outside Android Studio. Since AS allows modification from PC, I guess, there shouldn't be any security concerns for allowing access from outside AS from the same PC. I have a desktop app that needs to modify the database and every time uploading the file through Android Studio device explorer is cumbersome. It would be great if I could either create a symlink or write a script to automate the process.

The app/process "system updates" started using network data constantly a few days ago, also I think the battery is drained faster. Should I be worried about being hacked, or is this just some bug? And how do I make this stop? I'm using crDroid 9.0 (android 13) ROM (from here , I think) on Samsung S8. The first screenshot from android settings shows data usage in about 3 days. And the second screenshot from PCAPdroid app shows data usage in a few minutes, to see the IP adresses it connects to. Seems the IPs belong to google. Also, I think my phone is identified as pixel phone by google, maybe this has something to do with this, maybe google tries to update this "pixel phone".. But what seems weird is the data speed, which is always only a few KB/s, if google only tried to download pixel update files, I would think it could reach higher speeds.

I'm trying to find if there's a location within root where your phone keeps a record of what apps have been installed on your phone, like maybe a database. As a secondary question I'm also trying to find for instance where a game would keep local game saves. I did a test where I installed a game that I had played before, so the default local game save is where I left off. Uninstalled it with SD Maid and double checked data/data for the package name and it was deleted. Reinstalled the app and it had retained the last game save, so it obviously knows it had been installed previously. A factory reset clears any record of an app having been installed, since by doing that, your phone is considered a different device. Anyways, after uninstalling again, I tried doing a

/ -name *packagename* > sdcard/output.txt

and only ended up with 3 results:

/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.google.android.gms/files/backup_chunk_listings/
/data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/files/backup_chunk_listings/
/data/data/com.google.android.gms/files/backup_chunk_listings/

I assume the save game data would be somewhere on /data/ but no idea where. As for a record of what apps the phone has installed, I have no idea where that would be, my only guess was

/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/

(Stock android.) "E:Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log" -Other phones don't prompt this during the data wipe(factory reset), this is fecking intentional. Also it got no battery charging cycle count in the bug report neither. Is there any other reliable way to determine if the phone is genuinely brand new? Through Recovery Mode and Android Settings, Wipe Data(Factory Reset) related log entries should persist in the recovery log file under Recovery Mode right? The related log entries should persist even after reboot, power off, wipe data(factory reset), right? Other phones I've used will retain all wipe data related log entries. Currently I've a brand new android phone that doesn't do that. 'Wipe data' related log entries will disappear after powering off or rebooting the device(the recovery log file still exist, and judge by the changes of the numbers inside every [ ] at the start of every line, all remained log entries are actually newly generated, though the log file's size will shrink back to the exact size before the wipe data action). (It proceeds like this: Go into the recovery mode; No wipe data related entry inside the recovery log file; Perform wipe data; Related entries appear, the log file's size increases; Reboot or power off then on again; Wipe data related entries disappeared, the log file's size shrink back to before the wiping, the numbers inside every [ ] at the start of every lines have changed.) Such shady doing, alternating the default logging behavior.

I'm using a rooted Android 13 device, and an external SD-card that I mount as /data by editing the fstab. The SD-card is partitioned into few EXT4 partitions, and I can boot with any of them mounted as /data just by editing the fstab. For example, my current fstab entry is: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard wait,noflush_merge,fsync_mode=nobarrier,reserve_root=134217,resgid=1065,check,formattable,quota,reservedsize=128m,latemount,resize,checkpoint=fs And I can change it to mmcblk0p3, to boot with a different partition as /data. But there is an issue. Each time I boot with a different partition as /data, it works, BUT when I return to my previous one (same way, by editing fstab), it's lock screen password/PIN/Pattern **no longer matches**. It says like Wrong PIN. Since I don't use encryption, I easily solve it by deleting the locksettings.db file from /data/system. But if I used encryption, it definitely wouldn't work. My question is **why it happens**? **Why, when I successfully unlock a phone booted with different /data, and then switch back to previous /data, the password that was set there no longer matches, and I have to delete it?** **EDIT**: I made an experiment with a clean, not modded phone (without any SD cards or Root), that uses encryption and everything is stock. I took a full backup of the NAND flash, which includes GPT table, all partitions, and therefore the encrypted userdata too. After taking that full backup, I performed a Factory Reset on this phone, and booted up. Then, I turned phone off again, and flashed my full NAND backup. **The phone booted successfully, but yes, the password that was set there didnt match.** This result is very weird. What could even get modified on the phone, if not something on the NAND flash?

worked for some company using their own application to deliver parcels. never got paid and they claim that "i never worked" their application was used to track every single delivery I did.. i see it has about 35MB of userdata and cache storage that I cant access. How would I go about to accessing it? phone is not rooted and I have no experience with rooting but am willing to learn if it can help me find those files

I share a phone with someone who's being shifty and I just need some help. I was typing an email address into the search bar on the Samsung Galaxy A12 that we share and as I was doing so, a whole bunch of suggestions showed up on the keyboard- they were all usernames with an @ in front of them. ( @username ) I was going to write them down but the problem is that after I clicked on 2 or 3 suggestions, they stopped popping back up in the suggestion part of the keyboard. It seems like it may have accidentally glitched or something and they weren't meant to pop up at all, but the fact that they DID means they're saved somewhere on the phone, right? The phone only has the Samsung keyboard on it- not GBoard board and the phone is not rooted. Is there any way at all that I can access that again? Anything I can try? Can I root the phone myself to access that data? Thank you.

I have a data roaming pop up every 5 mins on my S23 Ultra with T mobile service, I live Across Lake Erie From Canada, PLEASE!!! does anyone know how to get rid of it

I wanted to ask whether on Android phones it is normal to access another phone who only uses data and no wifi from a phone that only uses wifi and no data, using an app such as WhatsApp to place a call. I am trying to debug in a phone setting where one or both phones may have network problems, and was thinking about whether anyone can help me with this. Both phones are running Android 12 and 11. Thanks.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I am in process of upgrading LineageOS from 16 to 18. The instructions indicate to wipe the data partition in step 8. Will this remove my installed apps and data? I know how to do a backup and restore using adb but I wondered if there is a way to upgrade lineageOS and keep the apps and data without backing up and restoring.

My phone seems to be suddenly uploading GBs of data at speed of 8+Mbps. I cannot identify which direction app is doing this. But systems network indicator seems to show that is uploading data. Just not which app. I even tried force stopping my frequently used apps while this happens to see if data upload stops. But i haven't been able to identify which app is the culprit. Sometime the speed of upload reaches 20mbps and makes my phone stutter. What i can do find out enough app/process is transferring so much data. I also tried installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drnoob.datamonitor It also shows high speed of data transfer being happening. But it cannot identify which app is doing it. App specific usage stays low. I have access to adb tools, root, as well as termux if that matters. I tried using nethogs in termux but it didn't detect the process causing high speed data transfer.

I am using an app on android I have confirmed that : - if I clear the app data or even reinstall the app from google play, the app does have a specific behaviour - if I install the app on a completely new device (I'm actually using bluestack android emulator), the app does have a different behaviour => hence, what is the data specific to an android install an app can access? how can I change this data without reinstalling the entire os?

I have installed an app from play store, which contains pdf files. When I click on download button the app download them in such way that these files are only able to be opened in that app. (Like how youtube saved videos offline) I cannot share these files to my PC. When I went to Android/Data/XYZAPP/Files, I get to see these files. But I cannot open them directly. They have no file extension (e.g. 234828173) I tried to open them with bin file viewer. They contains a lot of binary or hex code. Those are the pdf files (because if I download 2 pdf there shows 2 files if I download +1 there gets a +1 file, except them there are no files in that specific app data folder), how can I open them like I open other normal pdf files. Thanks

Will I lose my data when using Recovery's Apply update from SD card option? And, if so, will I lose data on the phone, on the memory card or everywhere else? Phone: Samsung SM-A107F/DS (Galaxy A10s) System: Android 11, One UI Core 3.1 Bootloader version: U8 Recovery: stock Root: **NO**

Trying to get access to "data/tombstones" directory from my rooted phone. I am implementing a crash collector application (system application) which would help to record the system's ANRs and tombstones crashes. I am able to access the "data/anr" but not "data/tombstones" I have written required SELinux rules to access both "data/anr" and "data/tombstones" but still it does not work for tombstones. I am trying to read them through below Lines of code: File[] anrs = new File("/data/anr/").listFiles(); File[] tombstones = new File("/data/tombstones").listFiles(); This way I can read the ANRs but not tombstones. Any help to solve this will be appreciated.

Just wondering if everything is normal on my cell phone... It's an LG and they stopped updating, but I don't remember this behavior before...

I am trying to clear the data for a few apps on a work profile without clearing the data on the main user account for my android phone. What I'm trying for example is : pm clear com.Microsoft.teams Is there a way to clear just on the work profile and not my main account? From my research, you can't seems to specify a user for this command unlike a few other commands: pm documentation
