I tried flashing the Rom yesterday and was successful. The issues I had revolve around restoring my apps. I used My Backup Root for stock to Froyo, but this time it seemed as though the apps were on the phone and the card, which cause an error stating that I didn't have enough memory. What should I have done to restore the apps to preserve the memory? I also received force close error for SetCPU, SlideIt (which I love), and a few others.
Also, what is the benefit of partitioning my sd card and does doing so erase it's current contents?
Lastly, are the nightlies a full rom or just part that needs to be flashed? If found some on CMs website, but not here.?
Yes, I'm a NOOB.

Regarding your nightly question, they are full ROMs...the difference between them is the code that was committed within the previous 24 hours. Of course that also means that, in theory, some of the nightlies could be 100% the same...anyway, the nightlies can be a beautiful thing or a disasterous thing...usually if there's an issue with a nightly it is quickly found by those who flash each nightly and it is brought up around 3.2 million times and it is typically fixed by the next nightly.
Partitioning usually does mean a wipe of data on the SD. Careful!
When I upgraded to a 32GB flash from the stock 2GB from my Aria, I backed up the entire contents and restored on the new one. Apparently there is volume information stored somewhere (not sure where) and the phone couldn't recognize the card and asked me to partition it.
Because I had a backup, I decided to do so, but instead of partitioning for the entire size of the chip, it partitioned only 2GB!
So I had to stick it into a reader and repartition it manually and then selectively restore music, etc back on the card.
After that it worked just fine. So short version: yes it does.

You will need to creaate an sd-ext partition to fix the issue of installing (larger) apps with CM7.
The best way would be through ROM Manager.
wifi
Installed the RC2 and can't connect to a hidden SSID wifi network.
That is a known issue with the wifi driver on cm7 thus far. Not sure if it will be corrected though. Anyone else know if it is in the works?
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
I believe if you flash to nightly 14 all will be good, not 100% sure though.

As far as I know there are no plans to change it. But then again we weren't supposed to get fm radio working either...

Great input from everyone. Thanks! Following up on the sd-card partitioning... I have a new 8g card and want to more to CM7. If I partition it, what happens when I restore the backed up app using My Backup Root? And, what is the best partition configuration, why, and what info get store in each section (ext)?
Thanks...

The easiest way to partition is using your ROM manager.
Just select the max size for SD-EXT (I think it would got to 512MB), and none for swap.
I'm not sure if this would have any effect on your backup - I myself started out from scratch and got my apps from the market even though I had made an Astro backup...
You will store all your stuff - music, pictures etc in the normal partition. The SD-EXT will be automatically handled by the phone.
Tried flashing Nightly 22 on my Aria from 17. I spent a lot of time customizing 17. Is there a way to keep all of the old home screens? Also, GPS lock isn't working for me. Using MyBackup Root for Apps, but it seems to duplicate the apps?

You should be able to flash each new nightly without losing any of your settings/customizations/homescreens and apps.
While upgrading from ROM manager, just check the backup option, don't check wipe data and cache.
I can confirm this works transitioning from 14 to 22 because I just did it yesterday night
As for the GPS problem, thats a known issue - the workaround is to make a nandroid backup of your current cm7, then do a complete phone reset, then do a nandroid restore of cm6 or 6.1 (hope you have one), do another factory reset, and restore your cm7 from the backup you took in the 1st step

first of all, i would never suggest using rom manager for things such as that. historically it has only caused problems and has been more of an inconvenience than anything. second of all, when you boot into CWM and do it the right way, don't wipe data, it's suggested but not necessary that you wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom and you'll be good.
Thanks to both of you. Big help and not deleting the data did the trick. Looks like I'm good to go and GPS is working well again. Is there a way to ensure I don't have duplicate apps taking up space on the card and phone? I'm getting errors on moving some apps to the sd card.

Not all apps can be moved to the FAT32 partition on the SD card. Widgets also, won't work properly if moved to the SD FAT32.
If you need more memory, look into (read up) partitioning your sd card with a ext3 partition and installing S2E or Dark Tremor a2sd (DT a2sd).

Oh, I had no idea about that, thanks for the info.
I've been using ROM manager without any problems so far, apart from one lately, that when I reboot to recovery, I always get an error screen - exclamation mark in triangle...but I just pull the battery and reboot into recovery manually and it starts whatever command I had given it (backup/new rom) automatically...
In a world of trouble now. been on sd 1.9.0 (initially on 318 official), everything was great for some time, then, after a month or two, phone started acting funny (frequent random reboots, hangs, could not start for hour or two when got into dell logo loop...), so i decided to do factory reset. did it and after that could not install any app or recover any titanium backuped apps. when installing any app, install process will continue endlessly, with progress bar always on start (but not freezed, bar is moving, but there is no progress). same thing with titanium backups - could not make any restore - also it starts, but no progress.
later tried new rom flash (sd 1.9.0), then 1.8.1, then 318, then simplestreak 1.2, then again 1.9.0, all with factory resets - could not fix my problem - could not install or make recovery.
hardware-wise all seems without malfunctions. been thinking that maybe internal sd is defective, made check from engineering menu and all seems ok with it.
got no more remedies, made around 50 reflash attempts today, no luck.
another idea that buggs me: could it be that app folder on internal memory is somehow not writable? what are normal permissions on internal memory folder structure?
looking forhelp - solutions or ideas. do you think that is hardware or software defective?
got some kind of warranty, but i'm not sure that i could enforce it...
Can you install apps normally though the market or sideloaded?
It could be that your backups are bad if you can install other stuff
Need a little clarification. Does your ROM after the flash run OK? If it no longer reboots on its own or hangup, doubt you have a problem with your internal SD.
I would recommend scrapping Titanium, I quit using it and started using MyBackUp Pro and haven't had any issues since when I recover apps.
You could do one of several things...
1)Use the QDL tool to get back to a stock ROM, then flash StreakMod and then StreakDroid 1.9.0 and see what happens.
2)Try replacing the internal SD with a 4GB class 10 which will improve performance and do away with the trouble if that were the problem
3)Use the QDL tool to get back to stock ROM and send it in for warranty if all else fails

No, i can't install via market. When i connect to market, it instantly start to download updates (Gmail, Maps etc.) and, when downloaded, it will start installing, and progress will endlessly be stuck on start...so basically same thing like manual install or Titanium recovery.

Ok, you do understand that if you are allowing the market to install all the updates you had on your phone before, it could take a considerable amount of time, and may seem to get stuck. It doesn't download and install one by one, it begins downloading everything you had in your market account (something I hate about the market), so it may be trying to install 20 or 30 or 40 apps and updating others that are part of Android ALL at the same time. It could easily take an hour if you have a hundred apps or so on your phone.
Just a comment, not sure if you have taken that into consideration.
But I doubt you internal SD is bad, if it were, you wouldn't get as far as you get without some force closes, or maybe not even boot.
Your issue is software related in my opinion. But I could be wrong.

ROM(s) working (relatively) OK. Have some FCs on some ROMs, no frequent hangups and only some reboots. Didn't have any of them for a long time because i was trying to find some solution for apps install because without ability to install smartphone is useless.
I heard some bad things of Tutanium, but i was happy with it so far, and i think that it is not his fault.
1) tried that (318 and 351 stock), and others combinations, and always ended with same problem
2) and 3) if i try to replace internal sd, then i will void my warranty
if anything else fails, i'll try my warranty, but i don't know if i'll succedd, but i'll like it better to fix it on my own, if it is software problem, not hardware
Breaking News!
Interesting turn of events: out of pure despair, i tried to flash Streakdroid 2.0 (Gingerstreak).
Out of blue, i could again install apps! I played a little, and tried to flash SD 1.9, hoping that it would be "fixed" now. But, sadly, it isn't! I still cannot install apps on SD 1.9.0! I flashed SD 2.0 again, and found that on SD 2.0 i CAN again install apps (Titanium also works, although it is basically useless because most of backuped apps and settings don't work on GB).
Here is summary:
- on Froyo builds (318, 351 stock; SimpleStreak 1.2; 1.8.1, 1.9.0 SD) i CANNOT install apps (endless install loop) and restore Titanium backups
- on GB build (SD 2.0) i CAN install apps and restore Titanium backups
This is completely puzzling to me. I though that is probably hardware fault (internal sd or something else), but if on SD 2.0 everything works, and on Froyo builds not, it seems that is some kind of software error?
I suspect on some kind of folder permissions error. Does anybody know right permissions for internal system folder etc.?
==== Update 20120215 ==========
It seems Galaxy Note also has this problem.
jager13 has posted this issue in code.google.com, so please anyone with this issue comment there so that google devs can know about it and fix it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563
==========================
I believe that many of us (if not all) should have this problem.
I got so many apps installed, so many of them are installed in SD Card automatically by Android or I manually moved them to SD Card.
(In total I have ~650 app elements in Titanium Backup and keep growing depending on what I have installed or haven't restored at any given point)
The problem is since I updated from 2.3.4 to version >= 2.3.5 even to ICS 4.0.3 LP2, LP6, LPB, LPH.
Problem:
- Power On then phone will reboot after some 2-5 minutes idle and again reboot infinitely so I cannot use my phone at all.
- If I removed my external SD Card, no more reboot.
- Or if I delete some amount of .asec files in ".android_secure" folder (where the app in sd card is saved) in the external SD Card no more reboot.
- And yes, I have done many (if not all) imaginable things: re-flash, factory reset, wipe cache, fix permission, change SD Card, reinstall from market...
- And no, this is not specific SD Card problem.
There is older thread talking about this problem but the thread is about general reboot problem so it got mixed with other kind of reboot.
After trying ICS leaks in a hope that the problem is fixed I find that it is still NOT fixed
and maybe won't be fixed if not enough people complain about this problem.
And I think Samsung developers and QA don't know this issue.
It will be shame if SGS3 still has this problem. I absolutely won't buy it.
So to check this, I hope the reader of this thread to try this (Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4 only):
- Please move as many apps as you can or all of your apps to SD Card..
- Or please install as many apps as you can from market and moved them to SD Card if not already.
- The apps number is not exact (60 maybe more), more is better, maybe related with apps size too.
(I found that when my ".android_secure" folder size in external sd card approaching ~1.5GB maybe more, the reboot problem occurs)
- And then tell here that you have infinite reboot or not in idle mode 2-5 minutes after power on. Please try 2-3 times.
- Also post your ROM/kernel version, stock or mods.
- And please check that removing the external SD Card solve the reboot problem.
Remember that u have to be at least Samsung based ROM version 2.3.5 because this problem is side effect (2.3.4 and earlier does not have this problem).
For us who has this problem, please add your post to this thread to keep it alive
and don't forget to rate high so it will get attention from other users and hopefully from Samsung.
Let's make this issue known to Samsung.
And I hope that people who got firmware leaks from Samsung can tell them about this problem/thread.

Are u using Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4?
I have this bad problem. I posted about this problem on old topics and how to remove this problem by return to old firmware with android 2.3.4.
Thank you for opening this thread because It is I think a general problem and the big problem that its happened with ICS. I tried and tried to solve this problem without success but I found that this problem start faster after transfer small size apps.
This problem must be solved, because we need to transfer apps to SD card.
Thanks again dragon135
i can confirm i am another user who had no issues at 2.3.4 upgraded to ICS LP2 this evening and now have this problem! not cool....

I have had the same problem with the following Samsung Android versions:
2.3.5
2.3.6
I have a SGH-I777 (AT&T Galaxy S II).
I have tried several class 4 and a new class 10 made by Samsung. Same results.
After using App2SD and after moving several apps to SD, the device will eventually reboot right after the SD scan completes.
Removing the SD is the only way to fix this. You can reformat the SD card but the problem will eventually occur when you move several apps to the SD card again. I have been unable to identify a particular app that triggers this reboot.
i have the same problem with my lg o2x. no solution??
exactly the same issue with my Captivate
I moved more than 100 APPs to SD recently. It worked fine with Froyo. The only problem I had is the icon disappearing issue. After switching to GO launcher, everything worked fine. Today I upgrade my phone to GB (KK4, 2.3.5), and started to have the same problem. I have to unmount my SD card to keep my phone away from rebooting. With my wife's card, only data on it, my phone had no issue. Once I put my card back, it starts again.
I can confirm. This issue exists and NOT just samsung firmware. i had the same issue running MIUI. When there are too many apps (my count is 264 apps) the phone will boot, the back of the phone will get really hot and then within 2-3 minutes of booting reboot again to the same unlock or home page screen. And it will keep doing it until your battery is dead. it also drains the battery like crazy!!!
Seriously wtf?
Is there a way to move those APPs back to phone? This is really annoying.

yes, just cut some .asec-files (as many as it needs) from the .android_secure folder an paste them into another folder, so that the phone won´t reboot anymore.
the apps according to the .asec files now won´t be shown in appdrawer.
than you install gemini app manager and move the smallest (if you have not much space on phone) or just some other apps you want back to phonememory. after that you can put the .asec files back in to the android_secure folder, so that those apps appear again in app drawer.
if phone still reboots: same precedure.
like others wrote, and my own experience: abourt 50 files in android_secure folder is ok, more: reboots.
or if you have backups from your apps in titanium:
put sd card in pc. delete all the small asec files, so that in android_secure folder remain only the biggest files. and not more than 50 files.
better only 40. than your phone should work again and you can restore those small apps with titanium, but before that, you tell titanium only to restore into internal memory.
this helps for me. but i really wouldlike to be able to install more apps an sd card! nobody??

As requested I also have this issue.
Seriously considering the downgrade to 2.3.4 despite the aggravation it will cause me.
I transfered all of them to my laptop first and then moved them back ~20 APPs at a time. But then I got the 'phone storage space is getting low' error. Trying to fix it eventually led to a 'factory reset'. I don't have backup for all of the APPs. Without all those junks the phone was very smooth and stable. Once I restored a few APPs and moved them to SD card, I was hit by random shut-down issue but no reboot yet. Finally I figured out why my phone went to sleep almost every night with me. LOL. It happened just after I moved most of my APPs to SD. WTF.

Now like I said earlier, everything went like dream. No bricks etc. and stuff really seemed to work. But after messing around with my phone, restoring all contacts from SIM-card, downloading mozilla etc. I found out that Gallery wasn't working.
It opens, crashes and then tells me that "There is not enough space." and that I should remove stuff.
Now after that I went to My Files to do some cleaning and I deleted few photos and pictures, although I had more than 5 Gb of free space. After I selected the photos and chose to delete, a pop up just said that (x) Files deleted. But nothing really happened, the files did stay there.
Then I plugged my phone to PC and started up Samsung Kies, and it found all the stuff from SD-Card. I tried deleting those but again, nothing really happened. Pressing the trash bin button on Kies just basically un-checked the selections of pictures. "Now that's odd" I thought.
After that I went to their related JB rooting guide and rooted my phone with Siyah Kernel. The rooting apparently worked (the Root Checker APP congratulates me with successfully rooting my phone) and the SuperSU and CWM apps are there. Nothing really did change, and I couldn't remove stuff from my SD card.
Now then I was ready to wipe my SD card clean from all the data, and booted up the phone in recovery mode. It booted up and there was the "format External memory" option or something like that, what I chose, and it asked me that "Do you want to wipe the \SDCard0". I chose yes, and it succeeded in less than a second. But on the event log it said that SDCard error.
EDIT: I also tried mounting my SD Card from the recovery mode but it didn't work!
I'm pretty clueless what to do. It seems like I have lost all my "write" privileges on my SD card and only have the "read" ones, or something like that. If you could point out whats going on I would REALLY appreciate it. I asked this same question on TeamAndroid's comments but I haven't yet been answered. If they answer and I find solution to the problem I'll post it up here. I'm not that expert with Android troubleshooting etc. that I'm not sure how to get some error logs etc. if they are necessary for you guys, so if you need them just give me link to instructions or something and I'll post 'em up. ^^
I'll follow this thread until I find the most reasonable solution.
Thanks alot in advance

I'm not that expert with Android troubleshooting etc. that I'm not sure how to get some error logs etc. if they are necessary for you guys, so if you need them just give me link to instructions or something and I'll post 'em up. ^^
I'll follow this thread until I find the most reasonable solution.
Thanks alot in advance

"Error mounting /sdcard!"
I just want to clarify that I don't actually have SD Card but the problem is in my S2 internal storage (which is basically seen as unremovable SD card right?).
But thanks for replying!

I am answering now for partly bumping up my own thread, but also asking that could formatting the internal SD card with Gparted work? Does gparted have more "rights" than recovery wiping?
Thanks in advance

This link may solve your problem... do give a try?
To format your internal storage choose the /emmc option in format menu not the /sdcard.
Once you have formatted card re-flash rom.

Thanks alot, I flashed the ICS back and tried formating the SD storage and it worked. Then I flashed Jelly Bean and I'm currently installing few apps and trying it out and so far it seems like it works!

I got it working by flashing the ICS back, then formatting the storage from settings menu and flashing JB. It seems to be working now :cyclops:

Great... Problem solved! :good:
Now I consider myself above average on pc/tablet/phone blah blah knowledge. This is my second tablet and my first I unlocked and rooted and my iphone is jailbroken so I have some knowledge. Now the problem I am having is my secondary tablet is a Ultratab Jazz C925 android 4.0 baseband 1.5 build number 98v2-z1-h1-h01-2659.20121012(version1). One day I am not sure what I did(this was a while ago and this is why this one is my secondary tablet) my tablet restarted and all the memory was gone. Now I don't mean I installed to many apps. It was factory reset and the total space now shows 0.00b with the apps taking 37.32. Now I should have somewhere around 700-1000 Megs with no apps installed. I have tried doing a factory restore clearing the cache and I have recently even tried to say screw it and making the default app installation location the SD card but I can't get anything to work. I have also tried installing a couple custom Roms to see if this would like reset everything. I have a feeling this might have all happened when I tried to change the partitions due to the fact the memory was set to have half internal memory and half internal SD card(was very inconvient). Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix it.
Thanks.

Have you tried installing the 4.2 update for it? It may restore the partitions to the correct size.

I couldn't install the official 4.2 update because the company is slack and they never sent even the 4.1 OTA upgrade. No I did however use livesuite and install and new 4.2.2 ROM after trying a couple it worked I used FAAAAST JB V2 at first i tried v2.5 and touchscreen didnt work and the touchscreen fist didnt work either but all is good now.
