thanks it worked if u dont mind me asking what rom/kernal do u use?

I'm using CM7 right now, nightly 24 with Neo 07 (for the led notify and smartass governor). I haven't really had the time to update to the newest nightly nor have I really had the inclination to.
I might be trying miui soon though, seems like something new to work with (kinda getting bored of have the CM7 install process so streamlined for me).

I got it working then installed cm7 and both storages don't work again its like they only work on stock. I've tried 4 different cm7s nitelys and rcs and miui on all of them the storages say unmounted. This never happened before I was running cm7 perfect for a week or two then I tried flashing a new today and a voodoo kernal and now this is happening. I flashed revolution rc1.2 and ever since I've had this problem.

Well, that probably happened because you flashed Revolution from CM7. You cannot do that as they run on different filesystems. Therefore, you will experience problems.

So how do I format the system for cm7

Why? I give up on 2.2....

So i used to have Obsidian V5 and jump around to rom to rom (2.2) but now after flashing another rom (Axura) everything lags (even worse when applying voodoo or OCLF) and now the only thing that works for me well is a 2.1 rom.
I want to go back to 2.2 without having constant hiccups...is there a way to completely reset the internel SD or something. I tried ODIN to stock 2.1 and unofficial 2.2 then flash a 2.2 but still same results.....anyone?
Have you been clearing user data and the cache before you reinstall packages?
Your best bet is to Odin back to JFD for a fresh start. I do it every time before I flash a new rom just to make sure I'm not bringing over any ghosts.

I have been doing that, for every single 2.2. but i do want the "black froyo theme" and after i flash that to it, it starts lagging, and it starts laggin after i install voodoo or OCLF (ironic huh)
Im running obsedian v5 with no lagfix, black froyo theme. Im also running launcher pro and have 6 homescreens and the phone is super fast and has no lag. Snappier then 2.1 roms with OCLF. "Spare parts" helps transitions run faster, its free in the market.

Okay, im going to try your setup
By the way, have you tried it with a lag fix?
Within spare parts turn animations to fast or off,whichever you prefer. And no I haven't needed one. I've ran OCLF, z4mod and ULF and there is no need to apply any of these. Im not even overclocked and its really quick.

Hmmm, well i seemed to have narrowed it down to my External sd card.....every time i remove it, it runs super smooth, everytime i insert it, it scans and as soon as its done scanning, it lags.....should i format my 8gb Class 6 sdcard?
Ahh i think i fixed the problem I found a thumnail folder in my DCIM folder......it was 600MB and contained over 31,000 items.....as soon as i deleted it, looks like it runs fine............ for now
i've been using macnut r12 with the black froyo theme and eugenes stock kernel with CWM, and it is as smooth as silk with amazing battery life.

Link2SD - Gingerbread Issue

Hey guys, I've a problem with gingerbread. I've created an ext2 partition on my sd card. LINK2SD successfully installs, but when I start the app it asks for partition type and reboots immediately. I never came across this problem with froyo. Please help me out.
Thank You
as far as I know,there is no solution yet,the problem is on ace you can't write the init.rc file yet.
Link2SD works perfectly on Froyo. Hence I'm holding back upgrading to Gingerbread until that's fixed .

You must install with Odin a CODE_S5830XXKP modified file (it contains changed init.rc).
You can use DarkTremor App2SD with VillainROM...

Cool, thanks for sharing. However, I wanted to ask if it is ok to upgrade to KPE and also do the above technique without any factory reset or wiping the data and having to reinstall all apps again. I already have Link2SD set up on my KC1.
Also, I dunno much about DarkTremor's A2SD, is it better than Link2SD in any way?

Every time you make a change with Odin, the phone is completely reset and data are lost (with a backup program is not a big problem). This does not happen just by upgrading by Kies.
Hmm, well not really an upgrade but I did reflash my KC1 when I got soft bricked twice, and all my data was intact I believe.

With odin? I do not know... Long ago I have flashed KC1 and recently KPE (two times) and this has always reset the phone memory (I lost applications, settings, etc.). Better for you
Yeah I did with Odin. Reflashed KC1 twice. I just lost certain minor stuff like Speed Dial numbers and all. My Google and other accounts were still there. Also my Messages.

You can use Titanium Backup or MyBackup for backup your apps and data... its easy and fast...
Yeah I have my apps backed up on Titanium. I just didn't want to deal with manually Link2SDing them one by one again.. I dunno if Titanium would restore the linked and non-linked apps as they are now.

Insufficient storage available (market install)

I'm running the latest 3.0.27 (I think) market and I am unable to install anything, it will go through the download and then say insufficient storage available. I have 1.27 GB left on internal and am having no other issues... anybody know how to fix this or anybody else getting this?
(I lost gmail in some flash problems, gonna take it out of a rom zip I suppose but market won't let me get it the easy way or get anything else.)

i'm actually having the same issue. my market seemed to update itself and now i can't actually update anything else and get the same error. does anyone have any other suggestions?
were you able to fix yours?
When this happens to me and it does quite frequently one of two things usually works.
1) go back into the market and tell the app to update again
2) if that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app
One of these two options gets the app to download and install for me
edit: just reread your op try in this case I wood suggest wiping everything and flashing the rom again
I also have this issue. It is really annoying.

Any chance you flashed a new rom before this. I had this problem twice and both times it was when I flashed a nonvoodoo rom the voodoo conversion didn't happen. Just an ideal.
I am on gingerbread, no voodoo. I resolved the problem by doing a full data wipe/factory reset before updating MIUI. Everything works great now!
dood. ..did you happen to grab a logcat? I had this happen in cm7and realized that even though I had 1.3gb internal free, the /datadata partition was full.,
I never had this issue before that, and it even made apps start to fc! I checked by issuing the command df from term.
I moved a bunch of apps to sd, a feature of android I've never had to use until I upgraded(sounds more like a downgrade, I know) to gb! it worker but I still only have limited space (14% free) there while my /data partition has 1.3gb free...
I have never seen this before and my only clue from logcat where to even look was disk i/o errors.

Wipe cache and dalvik. Should fix it. If not wipe big three and that should do it.
This was a big problem a while back and it was caused by not wiping cache after new rom install.

Questions about ics passion 10.6

Hey guys I have some questions about this this rom.
1. How do I revert back to bionix 1.3.1 from this rom. Wen I tryed it wouldn't let me flash back to bionix through recovery mode.
2. How do I access my external SD!? I've tried with root browser,astro, and a couple others to access my external SD but when I click the ex SD folder It says its empty.
Other than that I really dig this rom. I can't mute while on call but that's not a big deal. Also my HD cam was laggy until I flashed Eugene's kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
For 1, you'll have to go back to stock and flash bionix. That's what worked for me.
For 2: it is the EMMC folder
Thanks guys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
good job with using Eugene's kernel... really helps out an already awesome rom! also, for the mute issue... maybe do a clean flash of the rom? i haven't run into this issue personally, but since there's no need to do backups any longer, it would literally only take a couple minutes to reflash and you wouldn't have to worry about reinstalling all your apps etc!

[Q] Anyone try PDroid?

I am trying to find a way to block permissions to certain apps after installation. I came across this app called PDroid but requires a patched ROM using a linux script. App can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056.
Has anyone tried this app?

Thanks I will try it out this week.
UPDATE: Bad news bears. I flashed the patch as described (mounted system, wiped cache) but the system went into a boot loop. The boot animation kept cycling over and over again.
Did the restore zip work at least? That's the first I've heard of a bout loop caused by it.
It only edits 3 files, none of which could possibly cause more than a boot loop in any case.
EDIT: May have been a corrupted download, I'll be sure to post MD5, hashes next time. Sorry about that!

I don't think it was a corrupt download. I just created a patch myself using the Windows program and it also produced a boot loop. I restored from a nandroid the first time, trying out the restore file right now.
Alright sounds good. That's still really is though, and I have no idea why it happens. Did you flash any addons on top of the stock ROM?

Nope. Just the patch. Although the second time I didn't mount the system. Is this a necessary step? I didn't see anything in the OP of the PDroid thread.
Possible reasons for failure:
* Corrupt download first time
* Second time, didn't mount system
What is this "If you "integrated sys Dalvik into ROM" with Titanium Backup, you will have to undo it"? I am using TB but I'm not sure if this applies to my situation.
I noticed the ROM must be deodexed and I didn't see any odex filetypes in the system/framework directory. That should be the only place they appear right?
On a better note, the restore file works =) Thanks for the help
Yes, you should mount /system in CWM, as I didn't manually edit the patch to add in auto-mounting.
I just tried on Unnamed 2.2.1 and experienced the boot loop as well (created the patch using the Windows patcher). Restore zip works fine, and tried with and without mounting /system in CWM. There apparently is something in Unnamed that the code doesn't like
Too bad, sounds like a good program (I also use LBE and wanted to use it along side).

It's a great app. I am running it on a Hellraised ROM. None of the AT&T base ones work. I sent the dev an error log from UnNamed 1.3.1 and he knows what the problem is and will try to address it in a future patcher release. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22111242&postcount=757)
Check back on that thread whenever he updates it. It's worth it!

Thanks! I guess I didn't go far enough back in the dev's thread (DUH!) so hopefully he's got the info he needs to fix it. I'd really like to try it sometime.
The developer of PDroid has released an update to his patcher that fixes the bootloop issue for AT&T roms. I just installed using UnNamed v1.32 and it works great.
Feels good to block all of those permissions.
