[Q] DZ's jb 10A2 - cache and data - Motorola Droid X2

I can't post in the regular forum - so hopefully someone can answer this question here.
I updated to DZ's 10A2 from 9 this morning. No problems - except there appear to be broken file links, which I imagine is due to the sdcard renames.
For instance: I can open Google Listen, but none of the podcasts will download and there is an error finding a file at /sdcard/com.google.etc. Also Evernote has no notes in it. Swiftkey can't load a language pack. Gmail and calendar app work fine.
The instructions said coming from 9-10A2 you shouldn't have to wipe data and cache but it hadn't been tested.
So my question's are:
1. Is the problem I'm seeing because I didn't wipe data/cache?
2. Can someone let DZ know that his instructions might need to be updated that going from his 9B1 to 10A2 will probably need a data/cache wipe?

I dont know anything about Google listen since I dont use it. But for Evernote, are you saying the notes you had are not showing up anymore? This could be due to the fact that CM10 is back to the old storage method. CM9 had the flip flop mod in there that made you external card show as the Internal storage so we had more storage space for internal storage. So if your notes were saved on the internal storage on CM9, which was actually your external card, you may have to move them back to the internal storage. You can find everything on CM10 in storage/sdcard0 (for internal) and sdcard1 (for external)
EDIT: And I dont know where you read you shouldnt have to wipe data and cache. Its ALWAYS a good idea to wipe everything when coming from one ROM to another.

Thanks. Looks like I'll just wipe. It's just a pain to reinstall all those apps and get my phone screens setup the way I like.
I read about not having to wipe from the install instructions:
Installation:
This can be installed over CM7/CM9 or BLUR but you MUST wipe data and cache if from CM7/BLUR. (CM9 should work w/o wipe, but it's untested).
I know it's always a good idea to wipe, but I was hoping I could get away with it. The phone works okay, it's just some apps that aren't finding their data. Not a big deal.

Titanium Backup is the best way to get all your apps back with their data. Thats what I use and dont lose any data when I go to a new ROM or SBF.

I've used it before, but it seems like every time I read flash instructions they say: "Don't use TiBu" to restore from a previous ROM!
It looks like it would have been okay this time - so lesson learned - might as well use it just in case.
Are there particular things you should/should not backup in prep for a new ROM? Just wondering.
Thanks

Apps and app data are fine to restore. SYSTEM data is what causes problems. Don't bother with system data.

Thanks - I'll start doing that. Appreciate the help.
The wipe seems to have fixed all but Listen, which I guess is a lost cause. I remember a couple of times when a download would foobar and it was just screwed forever. No way to really clear it. Apparently it's not supported since August anyway so using a different program.

[Q] CM7 RC1 upgrade issues and questions

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.

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)?

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...

I am experiencing the same issues. I assume you have this problem with ICS roms, because that's where I get those problems. I am currently running WEUI and half my apps are not at all working. I have also flashed back to stock, tried ICS Slim and MIUI v4, but no luck. I am also getting issues, while listening to music, where the song will keep on playing, but the app will ask me if I want to FC or wait. This has only happened recently. I really do not feel like going back to 2.2 or 2.3. Any help is greatly appreciated

Tried it, but no luck. Only option now is to flash a different ics rom, and see if that works. If all else fails I can always go back to bionix.
2 questions:
1 Can you see your internalSD with a file explorer?
2 Did you try wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache and rebooting?
I find a good wipe cure many things wrong (with my phone too )

1. Yes
2. Yes, usually before I flash a different rom/reflash rom to try and fix this I wipe data and wipe cache patition and dalvik cache.
OK. The first question was to make sure you still had access to your internal and not sole sort of veiled encryption error.
Let me think about somethings and ill get back to you. I am wondering if it wouldn't be a bad idea to format /data and /system to make sure that you don't have any ghosts lurking. If you do, make sure you back up SDs contents to PC just in case.

All those apps are still force closing on 2.2. Could it be, because I'm restoring them from titanium backup?
I'll try to backup SD onto my Computer and then format sd. It's probably some ghost file that is causing my phone to have errors. It probably is a file that has to do with MIUI since I flashed that as it happened.
Btw thanks for trying to help
Edit: I formatted sd card, put all the files back onto sd card, restored apps with tiatnium backup, but still no luck. I even factory reset,wiped cache and dalvik cache after formatting sd, but still no luck.
Thanks everyone for trying to help. I figued out the problem. Titanium backup was causing all those apps to have issues. I uninstalled all user apps via tb and download them from the market. I am getting no force close what so ever, with dl apps from market.
Usually when that happens from TB, it is from restoring system files (they show in red in the TB list of apps).
I use it to restore user apps + data every time I flash a new ROM, but I never use it to restore system apps, and I don't have any problems with it.
Since you've already restored from the market, you could try running TB and deleting it's backup data and then running a new batch backup of user apps (and no system apps) to have the freshest copy of your apps from a working system. That should allow you to restore in the future, hopefully without issue.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
This could be a problem with using TB. TB gives you the option of restoring apps+data. If you're coming from a 2.2 rom to 4.0, you don't want to keep the data from a 2.2 rom. What you can do is restore apps without the data. That should solve your problem.

[Q] Apps Remained after a full wipe

Something strange happened to my S3 after a simple reboot I noticed that some app have been removed so I decided to clean my phone on the way.
I made a full wipe + everything you can think of to clean, delete, format the phone but after I install the rom I can still see my apps in the application manager and I can't get rid of them even if I uninstall them through the application manager the come back after a restart.
I tried 2 different roms but it happens on both of them, both are xxDLIB .
How to fix that?

Are the apps system apps perchance? A wipe of data WILL wipe all user installed apps, the full wipe script alluded to doesn't do anything that you can't do manually from recovery.

Sure the apps aren't part of the ROM. Depends on what the dev has cooked into it.
Sure you're doing a full wipe vs wiping caches only.
Could also be syncing to your Google account meaning when you launch play store it automatically detects your market links and reinstalls previously installed apps

explanation
I think I didn't explained my self right, these apps are "user" apps downloaded from Play store.
things I did before installing the rom:
1. factory reset from setting.
from cwm:
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. wipe dalvik-cache
5. wipe battery stats
5. format /cache
/system
/data
/preload
/sdcard
* also I removed the external sd.
but still I have these app "ghosts"

Clean Rom Install
Many people don't exactly know what a Data Wipe / Factory reset is. NO it does not delete "all" your data on Internal SD-Card. It Deletes all you user data and settings and stuff, like it says it formats "system". For Example if you Full wipe you loose Whatsapp, but the Whatsapp folder on your internal SD-Card remains untouched, that means you can restore your Conversations with ease. This means you can cause a huge mess on your internal SD-Card over time. This is my way how to do a CLEAN install. Doing this prevents many unwanted issues like Bootloops, FC's and all those other nasty laggy ****.
1. Put new rom on EXTERNAL SD Card (if slot available)
2. Data Wipe / Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Format Internal SD card
6. Install Rom and enjoy
Keeping your personal Data on your external SD-Card is a good idea (pics, music, vids , docs ...)
[You can do this even if you don't have an ext. SD-Slot. After "cleaning" your device mount USB-Storage in CWM Recoery and you can connect to pc and pull over your rom. ]
And this is probably one of the best ways to do a clean install without aditional Scripts like superwipe or other "flashy" stuff. (DO NOT USE THOSE SCRIPTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN AN INSTALLATION GUIDE)
One addition to above format/preload as well .

Ultimate wipe?

Hi guys!
I've been fiddling around with different ROMs. With every new rom I install, I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache + Dalvik cache.
However, it seems there still are files lingering from earlier versions (eg. wallpaper settings).
Is it possible, and if so how, to do an ultimate reset, to make the phone as bare as possible before installing a new rom?
I've tried using CM recovery, TWRP, CWM, and others based on earlier mentioned recoveries. Right now I'm running the latest Candy 5 (infected) + CWM
It's not quick but if you encrypt before wiping it that is one way. I've always reccomended doing this when selling your device.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
usually I do a full wipe with TWRP (go advanced wipe and check everything including internal sdcard), this will wipe everything you have on the phone like pics and other stuff, so make sure TO COPY THEM FIRST, the are not included in a nandroid backup, had to learn that the hard way
There's no better wipe then what you do (except formatting sd card).
I think the settings that stay between flashing are the one restored by your Google account.
Uncheck backup / restore from Google settings next time you install a rom and it should be all new !

If you mean files that are on your sd (internal or external) they are not Google's backup but have no big effect on your settings (except for some apps). If you want to get rid of this, just format your sd.
Now if you mean some settings like the wallpapers, they are restored by Google automatically but the setting is stored on the data partition (which you wiped).
Do you have other examples of things that stay between wipes?

[ROM] [ROOT] [7.0] [SM-P580] [BQK1] SaMBoNeS - 02/10/18

Here's a ROM I put together that I figured I'd share with you guys called SaMBoNeS! It's based on BQK1 from the Galaxy Tab A SM-P580 10.1" with s-pen. Most of the Samsung Apps have been removed. I like my ROMS completely barebones and then I install the apps that I want and if you do too then this is for you. It's pre rooted with Magisk. The boot.img will not force encryption. All of the remaining apps have been updated with the latest versions including Play Services, etc. Just wipe, flash the rom and you're good to go. S-Pen functionality remains. Not all the Samsung apps have been removed but most have. A total of 118 apps have been axed. Included is Adaway to block ads. In the screenshot are the apps that are left in the ROM. SaMBoNeS is Xposed compatible.
Instructions:
1) Boot into TWRP
2) Make sure your data is not encrypted. If it is do a Data Format in TWRP then reboot recovery
3) Wipe or Dirty Flash (Wipe recommended)
4) Reboot and you're set
5) Download the Removed Apps zip if you'd like to see what I removed
6) Put any of the removed folders into the ROM zip in system/app or system/priv-app that you want installed before you flash
7) Profit

It boots fine for me. What TWRP are you using? Is your internal storage already decrypted. Do a Format Data in TWRP then try flashing again.

From Advanced Wipe, wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage & Cache
Install the ROM
Remember to remove the tick mark against reboot before clicking next, do NOT reboot yet!
Wipe Dalvik/ART cache (yes, again, after ROM install)

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't have to re wipe Dalvik/ART after flashing multiple times to test so you may be able to skip that step. My goal is to keep this simple and keep the OP uncluttered as a lot of OP's are totally unorganized.

Yeah I'll provide more feedback as I continue to use. One note I'd say is to add back calendar storage to the included apps. I was unable to use calendar at first, and this being a school tablet for me it was essential. I was unable to locate it in the deleted apps zip you uploaded. I just downloaded calendar storage from online to my system apps folder and then adjusted permissions. After that, all was well. Thanks!

The reason I removed it is because I use an app called Calengoo (It's awesome) and you sign into your Google account through that so you don't need any other calendar services running. I'll add it back in though.
Updated build with more removed apps up in the OP.

I'll let you know if any issues are happening with this rom tonight, I haven't updated my tab in a while, last rom I made for myself and was pretty great, but eh I like flashing new stuff just because why not.
Is this the most recent update to this rom?

Yep.
Well I've been running this Rom for a few days now and it seems pretty smooth, all we need now is a custom kernel????

I agree. It's a shame there isn't more development on the P580 as it's the superior device with the extra ram, storage and s pen. It's kind of like a big Galaxy Note.
Any plans on getting your hands on P585? Was about to flash this on my SM-P585Y since they are similar but I realized I would need carrier specific apps like messaging, contacts, dialer, etc. Thanks.

Did calendar syncing get added back in? I'm having issues with it if it did. Downloaded today from the op and keep getting calendar storage errors on my P580.
Does this rom natively support formatting a micro sd card as internal storage?

No, not that that I remember. I moved on to another ROM awhile ago though. Nothing I found allowed formatting micro sd card as internal.
