Something strange is happening to me. I always have installed 2.2 roms on my X10 mini pro with the same precedure: formating cache, wipe status and fotmating Dalvik cache and never had a problem; but now, with Gingerbread based roms, even doing the same, always appear my old installed apps and the roms don't work properly. I can't avoid this and I've installed roms even from the original stock rom and I can't solve it, i also tried to format the SD Card, and same...
Strange? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!!
Weird.. never experienced that issue before. I've noticed gingerbread gives you a list of apps when you set up your google account. You can tick boxes and it will install the apps without having to bother with market - however, the 'modern' version of market doesn't like it and is sllllooooooowww.
If the phone/sd card is wiped I don't know how it keeps them. I can only think you could try to move the apps to sd and then format it, then reinstall the rom.

I've tried to move the apps to the SDcard, and still the same. Maybe if I don't tick the Google option about Security Copy it won't happen?
Even if I'm not logged in Google, when I've just installed the rom and the android symbol appears (Touch the android to continue), appears my previous installed app IMO+ and Advance task killer; and when I get the apps list, several of them still there, but withot data, only the apps.
Agree: New market sucks...
Thanks for the help bro!
Here it is what I do always I stall a new rom:
1º.- Recovery mode (Clockwork recovery)
2º.- Wipe data/factory reset.
3º.- Wipe Cache partition.
4º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
5º.- Install the rom from the SD card..
6º.- Wipe Data/Factory reset.
7º.- Wipe Cache partition.
8º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
And... tachaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! The previous installed apps still there, but no their DATA...
I experienced your same issue. Maybe CWR wipe does not wipe porperly.
I solved this way: extracted SD from mini and formated from PC.
Thanks, i'll try wiping with Xrecovery and if it doesn't work i'll format the sd in PC.
Thanks a lot!

Still using Xrec? Most ROM's now use CWM, D4rKn3sSyS recently released a dual recovery (xrec and cwm, depending on which button you press), it somewhere on page 1 at the time of writing. (sorry, im too lazy to go copy its link =P)

Yes, I know and I always use CWM, but when I wipe the apps don't dissappear, so I tried Xrecovery and a different version of CWM, but still the same.
My SD Card has a EXT partition for Link2SD from 2.1 Stock rom; maybe...?!
My SD had EXT partition too. When I formatted it from PC I deleted that partition. New custom ROMs don't need any more to have a different partition to install applications on SD.

Could well be that. Probably worth repartitioning the sd card on the pc.

i upgraded my HTC Hero (villainrom12.0) to villainrom13.0 and now i'm stuck at the boot screen forever. however if i remove my SD card it is able to boot. how can i fix it?
You can try to do a ful wipe
alright thanks. i finally fix it, i do a full wipe, formatted my SD card, and reflash the rom. first boot i have to remove the SD card for the phone to boot, then after everything is set up, i reinsert the SD card and reboot and everything's works just fine. down side is i lost all my previous apps.
by the way is it normal after flashing the villainrom13.0 i only have 30+MB for my internal memory. and Apps2SD doesnt seems to work.
ah..... not trying to bash you or anything but you do realize how old the villian rom is right?.. lol
my bad wrong forum lol ment to be in cdma
you lost your apps because you did wipe the data. didn't you make a backup with titanium?

Not working for me? Care to share your step by step instructions?
This how I tried.
Partitioned my SD Card FAT32 and EXT2 (tried EXT3 as well) -512MB
Copied ROM zip and Dalvik2SD patch to root.
Boot into recovery.
Flash the ROM
Flash the patch
Checked the internal memory size before installing any app. (avg 160MB free) Also checked EXT(2/3) size.
Installed bunch of apps. internal size reduced, nothing changed in EXT(2/3) size.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks

Yes, followed all instructions from newbie guide. Wiped everything off. Now I am just worried about installing iGo, as it takes big chunk of memory.
I have an Optimus V running IHO with s2e installed.
I am trying to use s2e to copy my dalvik cache to my sd-ext partition, but it's not working. I check the box and it says "reboot required", so I reboot, re-open s2e, and it still says "reboot required". I don't think it actually copied it to sd-ext.
How can I get it to copy my dalvik cache (~107MB)?
I havent heard of iho. But s2e is only for cm7 based roms...

Android is right, you can only use with cm7...try using ungaze or darktremor

IHO is based of CM 7.1. s2e copied my apps and download cache to my sd-ext just fine, it's the dalvik cache it's having issues with.
I had the same problem yesterday, uninstall s2e than reinstall from market and all of those blocked selections will be available to check....giving your on a cm7 rom...if that doesn't work repartition the sdcard than reinstall the s2e.apk than select which options you want moved to sdext and it should work

Try wiping dalvik-cache, maybe the new one will be created on the sd-ext.

I currently have my apps and download cache on sd-ext. That worked (works) fine.
I just noticed that I have both /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. Could this be why I can't move it to sd-ext?

I tried uninstalling and re-installing s2e, didn't work. The weird thing is that my apps and my download cache moved to sd-ext just fine.
im having the same problem. just loaded bobzhome CM7.2.0 on my optimus v. it will move anything but the dalvik cache. whats the problem?
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!
i moved applications only to the SD ext partition. after this i wasnt able to load many of my apps, the most important of which was s2e. so i wasnt able to undo the move. fortunately this happened early on after i flashed the new rom. so i just called it a bad job and reflashed the rom.
im giving up on the idea of extending my ext partition. i just reformatted my SD card for basic SD storage. i will just have to live within my means. not being able to move the Dalvik cache should have been enough to ward me off, but after having it mess my apps up too im not going to try again until im really desperate.
Personally I tried ungaze a d s2e and darktremor was my favorite. You get the .zip for recovery and the UI in market, search for darktremor in it. You will have the option to move dalvik cache to sd ext. My ext is formated in ext4 by the way, might be your problem. I write here mainly to tell you that in my own experience moving dalvik to sd-ext on top of my apps to sd-ext made my rom laggy and slow. Apps only worked fine. Darktremor's the best. Try it.

Mount as Ext4
how r u partitioning the sd card? I use mini tool and have partitioned it fine. make sure you make a fat32 1st, 2nd ext2 & 3rd Linux swap (see attached image - Disc 2 as example). Thats the only way it works. Best of luck Also, once s2e is installed, open s2e > menu > settings > select option 'Mount as Ext4'. I will not recommend moving applications and private apps, just move dalvik cache and download cache.

I have been going round and round with this issue for a long time.... i used mini tool and other programs like darktremor and NONE worked,
I used mini tool like nth20 has stated only I created a fat32 partition,
I used the integrate SYS davik option in titanium backup!
I am useing a IHO rom that has link2sd and that worked for me...
good luck i have reflashed and tried so many roms and was finally able to get this to work.

I don't really want to move the dalvik-cache, to sd-ext, but when I try to install or update anything from the market, I get "package file invalid". I'm assuming that the error is that my cache is full.

Do you need a swap partition for dalvik cache to move correctly? I didn't add one, so that may be the issue. Unfortunately, I have too many apps, and I need them moved to sd-ext, because they don't fit in the internal memory.

"integrate SYS davik option", eh? That looks interesting, let me try it. That seemed to help. s2e still didn't move the cache, but I can correctly install/update from the market now.

Yup. Either your dalvik cache or download cache or both cannot find enough space in internal memory.

You need the swap partition as apps use it the space while installations. Saves you from the 'package file invalid' error.
Hope this helps.

I was able to use Titanium Backup's "Intergrate Sys Dalvik into ROM", and that fixed the problem (it moved ~20MB of stuff).

I can try to add one, and see if that helps, but I think if I can install apps now, then I don't need to actually move the dalvik cache.

Just 20MB. That's kinda low. Attached is a screenshot from my device. Check the size of the dalvik cache.

Hey guys,
So my Skwiftkey was acting up so I decided to clear cache in "manage apps". Instead of hitting "clear cache" I hit "clear data".
Now my keyboard doesn't show up anymore, I get that annoying message and also my phone isn't reading my SD card anymore :/
Appreciate any help
(I have CM10.1 installed)
Because SwiftKey go to settings > language & input > default
And set SwiftKey again (maybe activate, too.
For all the other prob try a reboot first.
If same problem go to recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache one.

The problem seems to be that the phone outright doesn't read the SD card at all, doesn't even pick it up (however it can on ClockworkRecovery).
So I can't even backup my stuff to an SD card before I wipe cache or data and do another install.
Any ideas guys?

No, wiping cache and wiping dalvik cache won't delete the data or apps (only factory reset or format * would do)
So u can try this.
If u r able to access sd card in recovery and u have the zip from rom there, u can reflash Rom once (without wipe)
Just try this things and only if nothing works and no other idea comes, do a factory reset (not earlier)

Tried wiping dalvik and cache. Tried installing from sd card. Still didn't work!
And I can't wipe data because I need to backup my contacts and messages but I can't do that because my phone can't read my SD card and literally every backup app requires that I have an SD card inserted :/
Any other ideas guys? I could re do everything but I would need a backup, and without a backup I'm stuck with a useless phone
Hello , My sd card is not being recognized , I installed Black Bean Rom and everything was just fine. Then I decided to try Panandroid Rom , I liked Black Bean better , so I then tried to flash a restore/back up thru TWRP . I could not find the back up and also the it wasn't shown in the TWRP . So I ended up having to flash a new Black Bean Rom, even though it was in my file system. Now whenever I try to download a file or app from over the internet i'm getting message that says " No SD Card" even though the sd card is installed Can anyone please give me some advice on this thank you

I would suggest doing a full wipe in your recovery (data, cache, dalvik annnnd system). This is not the same as factory reset. In TWRP you have to go to advanced wipe to wipe system. If you did this already sorry. Also on my LG Optimus G when I go from stock to AOSP a "0" folder is created that emulates the internal storage. That could be a reason why your backups and stuff aren't being found. No idea though, I don't have my TF Prime yet.

Wiping system will mean you have to re-flash your blackbean rom. Are you using TWRP? If so:
You can specify where to look for your Rom.zip. There is a dropdown bar for external sd card or internal storage. When you wipe your system, your "internal storage" remains intact. Your movies and music will remain.
It's sounding to me like in the rom chaos your sd card became corrupt. To check if your SD card is defective
- Wipe everything like I said, install your Rom of choice (preferably one that your sd card worked on before) from "internal storage"
- Reboot and see if your SD card works, if it doesn't, it's probably the card itself and not the rom:
Format your sd card to fat32 with a pc or the prompt you got on your phone (you will lose everything on the card)
If your pc can use it just fine (copy some files on and off of it) then your phone should too. If it doesn't work on your pc, your card is probably dunzo. If it does work on the pc, but not your prime, then you still got a rom issue (unlikely if you wiped everything).
Probably told you some stuff you already knew but oh well.

Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.
