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...
My wife's phone started having major force close issues on CM7 #105 the other day so I decided to go back to stock and bring it back up to date with #142. I can get it back to stock no problem and root it too. When I try and put any other custom rom on it it will not boot. It just sits in a loop on the kernel screens. I tried 2.2 roms that had previously worked on it and even backed it all up and completely wiped the internal memory card. I am at a loss. It runs ok on the stock 2.1 rom. Obviously I would like to get it up to 2.2 or 2.3.4. I tried running Titanium backup on the stock rom to at least get her data back and it will load and start the backup then just lock trying to restore the first app. Has anyone else ever seen this?
have you cleared the mounts?
format cache, data and system ( under mounts and storage in CWM )
lots of ghost files hang out there
Yeah, I have cleared and cleaned about everything. Could it be a hardware problem?
I even go in and delete any folder, containing anything that had any possible data from rooting / flashing..
voodoo, downloads..
sometimes when having issues, I take out sim and Sd card when flashing
I had A Downloader and it worked fine yesterday until my phone bricked and I had to recover it. Now my downloader will not work. It said it could not make the folder on the SD Card for it. And when I went to look for it I found a bunch of weird files. I have included a screen shot of it. Any help is appreciated.
I am running JT114's Vanilla Gingerbread, and have deleted the weather/news and terminal built into the ROM.
Don't see a screenshot. If it's a downloader app, just uninstall it and reinstall it. That usually fixes the random weird things like this that happen from backing up and restoring some apps.
Screen shot added. I have uninstalled and re-installed it. Yet it still tells me no.

That's your SD card being corrupted by the Rom. Back up anything you got left to your computer, because eventually everything will disappear.
You either have to get a class 6 or higher SD card or go back to a TW Rom.
Do it now, I'm serious , before you completely ruin your SD .
The explanation for this is that mtd roms don't play nice with some SD cards, no matter how you install them or how you prepare your SD.
As a safety measure, back up the contents of your SD before converting to mtd, and daily thereafter.

I had the same thing happen when I first rooted when froyo came out. I reverted to stock and then rerooted and was able to delete the files and ever since Ive had no probs
so this is what happened, i installed a fresh rom, checked the music app and it could read all my music files. then after running antutu benchmark, the music app will show "please insert an sd card".
i tried unmounting and remounting the card but doesnt work.
however, if i go into astro, i can see all the contents of the card and can play music and movies from the app.
does anyone know how to fix this?
reboot maybe?
tried that. doesnt work.
Try clearing the data on the music app. In setting/applications/manage application

Same thing happened to me on miui. I just hit the play button and it just started working.

i tried that but didnt work.
with no music, the play button is "greyed out".
so far the only method to make it work is to full wipe and reflash rom. but i was hoping someone would have an asnwer before i do that as a last resort.

Try Reinstalling the App that's giving you the Problem... For Instance if its the Music.apk Go to System/Apps and the Click the App, then when Asked to Install just Select Yes! Or try using Titanium Backup to Make a Backup, then Uninstall/Reinstall... See if that Works, I'm Curious to hear if that Helps...
Good Luck...

I think we might both be having the same problem...my Music app can't find any music, and my Gallery app can't find any pictures!
Someone told me to reformat my sd card (which was a two-hour chore) and re-load all my files, but that didn't help. Like yourself, the only way I've been able to fix the problem is to flash a rom from scratch, but the problem invariably returns.
Is your Gallery app able to see any of your pics?
I'm extremely anxious to find a cure, as Ive been living with this problem for about three weeks now..

What's with you and capital letters... seriously...
Anyway, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem.
First, try clearing data in the app like suggesting before. Go to settings, applications, (system or downloaded apps), select the music app, and clear data.
If that doesn't work, try removing the music.apk (or whatever music app you're using) from /system/app/ and reboot. Get one from your ROM and put that in /system/app/ and reboot. If it ever worked on your ROM, it should work now.
If for some reason even that won't work, it sounds like a kernel/device/SD Card problem. Device/SDcard would be extremely unlikely because if it works in root explorer, it should work in Music. Even a kernel issue sounds unlikely, but you should try flashing the kernel the ROM came with to be sure.
That should fix it, but if any of those don't, chances are getting a new music player app should detect the SD card. Uninstall your original music app from /system/app/ and install google music from the market. This should definitely fix the problem if the other stuff didn't work.
If it STILL doesn't detect the SD card, try reformatting the SD card.

Can't speak for the OP, but for my own part I've already tried everything you suggested (as I stated, I've been wrestling with this for several weeks now), with no joy. And the problem recurs regardless of rom or kernel, or any particular combination thereof (and I've tried LOTS of rom/kernel combos).
Clearing data from the app didnt work. also tried going to system/app to reinstall the app. cannot install. shows a error parsing package message.
@oldjackbob
yeah, my gallery isnt functioning as well.
edit:
by the way, reflashing the kernel didnt fix the issue.

So our phones are acting like there might be some kind of system flag that somehow keeps getting set to the wrong state by a custom rom or kernel (or rom/kernel combo), and the only way to reset the flag is by flashing a rom (any rom) again. But eventually the flag gets bumped to the wrong condition again, and clearing caches or re-installing apps doesn't fix the flag setting.
Is there anyone out there who might be able to make any sense out of a debug dump if I was to generate one? Such a person would need to let me know exactly how to get a dump of info for them.
Sure hope someone with more brains than myself can help us through this!
If anyone else is having the same problem that the OP and I are having, please speak up..
TIA
what ROM are you guys on, and what ROMs have you tried? I know you said it's across various ROMs I'm just curious. Also, what hboots do you guys have and how you rooted? And what recovery and version? Any kernel you flashed? Just trying to get as much info as possible.

I has an sd scare last week where recovery wouldn't read it. This was after removing the sd, inserting into a reader on my comp to mess with files, and reinstalling into phone. Booted into recovery to flash an update I had just made on comp and put into sd from comp - but recovery wouldn't read it. So I (oddly) had to pull the sd again, reinsert, reboot to OS, reboot to recovery, and it worked, thankfully. Unrelated, but it was my sd story
I'm curious as well. What rom are you guys on???

Kind thanks, Duce. I'm at work right now so I won't be able to get a logcat until I get home this evening, but here's my current phone setup:
Currently on Warm2.3 Sense3.5 r52 (damn, I love this rom!) and Tiamat Sense kernel (early 1.03 I believe). I was hoping this rom might immunize me from the problem, but apparently not. Currently running System Tuner Pro, but when the problem first appeared I was running System Tuner free. Baseband 0.97.10.0808, PRI 1.24_003, PRL 21081. Rooted via the Revolutionary exploit, hboot 1.04.2000, Eng S-off RL. TWRP 1.0.3 recovery (I don't care for the capacitive buttons on 1.1.1). Running a 32GB class 10 sd card, low-level formatted it last night and restored all my files, but that made no change from before. Prior to that, I tried pulling the sd card from its slot and re-inserting it, that didn't work either.
When the problem first occured I think I was running one of chad's Infected kernels (not saying the kernel caused the problem). I've played with a number of his undervolt kernels over the last couple of months, very nice kernels, but they always get laggy for me after a few hours (a reboot fixes that for awhile, then it gets laggy again). The problem also occurs now with RCMIX v11 kernel. I think I was running ARHD's 1.1.2 rom when the problem first surfaced, but I can't be sure now (not that the rom caused the problem, either). I was also running xron's rev117 rom for awhile, so maybe I had that one installed then, I just can't remember now. In any case, it doesn't matter what rom or kernel I run now, the problem always pops up eventually, and will only go away with a new rom flash, and will always return again after a day or two.
I've even tried pulling the sd card from its slot and re-inserting it, didn't work.
I'll get a logcat for you this evening, thanks again Duce.

I did a low-level format from the pc, laie. Took two hours to format a 32GB card, lol. Then I reloaded all my files and rebooted the phone, and Gallery and Music apps still weren't working.
Edit: Yes, after the low level format I did a Format SD Card from recovery's Advanced Menu (but that operation took less than a second to complete, if that matters).
Edit: I also tried a Factory Data Reset in settings a few days ago, problem still remained.
You skipped the recovery format step. When my sd card starting acting wacky this always worked for me. But just formatting it threw my pc wouldn't solve my issue. It wasn't untill I formated it threw my recovery did it actually solve the issue. Not saying it will solve yours but it might. So If you have the time I'd suggest format your sd threw your pc and a quick format should suffice. Then before you place your data back on ypur sd put the sd in your phone and format it threw recovery. With no swap no partitions. Then put your data back on and see if that helps. Hope it does.

Yes sir, I did all that (see my edited post above yours). Sorry I didn't answer that earlier.
Edit: I'm fairly certain at this point that the sd card itself isn't the problem. The low level format from the pc does an extremely thorough multiple write/read on every sector (that's why it takes so long to complete).
Besides, the OP and I are both experiencing the exact same multi-faceted malfunction, which suggests some other problem besides a random card defect.
I started having an issue with my phone where the pictures on my internal and external memory card are no longer being displayed in the gallery, but they are present on the memory cards. Quickpic and other apps display all of the pictures, but I want to use the stock app. I'm not new to this either. I've had the Galaxy SI, SII, and SIII since launch with no issues to date and flashed ROMs 100+ times.
Background:
I was running CM10 for a month and a half until a few days ago when my gallery and camera would crash repeatedly. They would open for a moment and then close, no error message, no force close, just exit without a message. I rebooted, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache, wiped data from both the regular menu and from recovery, and the issue would not go away.
I then flashed Jelly Bean DLI5 with a data wipe. It would show any new pictures I took in the gallery, but would not show my old pictures that I copied into the folder. It would also not see anything at all on the external memory card.
Flashed to ICS LG8 with a data wipe and an external card format, same issue. I then learned if I copied pictures over to the camera folder 12 at a time instead of 500+ at once, they would then show up. I did that for my camera, download, screenshots, etc. folder. After a while, my pictures disappeared again.
Flashed to CM10. Pictures wouldn't display still.
Flashed back to Jelly Bean DLI5 and used an app called "fish bowl photo" to manually choose which folders I want added to the gallery. All my pictures showed up, everything looked great. Hours later in the day, all of my external card pictures are gone once again.
For every picture I copy over it gives a message along the lines of "this device may not be able to read this file, copy anyway?".
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I have no clue how this issue has survived so many ROMs and so many full wipes.
The SDrescan app just freezes. Clearing cache+data from gallery and other such places does not work.
Also, the gallery closes randomly while I'm browsing through it. Could happen after 2 seconds or 2 minutes.
Thanks in advance.
i had this same problem on my phone for about 2 rom flashes.........i cant say i have a Fix, just what i did to fix after many many attempts to do the same things you are doing, wiping, clearing, flashing, ect......
Sooooo what i did was 2 things, i 1st created new folders to mirror the ones i already had and moved my pictures in bulk to each one of there new respective folders and DELETED the old ones that were not showing up. this worked for most of the pictures ( After a reboot they showed up )
the other thing i did was use the NEW gallery from the note 2 ( FLOW GALLERY ) and it seemed to pic up all my pics with no issue.
so i dont really know which one of these solved it.....as i got so fed up i was trying things all willy nilly and those are the last 2 things i did.
it does get frustrating though, so i hope you get it solved soon.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm going to try those two things in order right now.
Did you create the new folders for the internal and external cards? Or just external?
Thanks again!
just try one folder and see if it works......i even went to the extent of using quick pic to create the folders within the app instead of root explorer prior to rebooting.
but i have flashed many roms since then and no longer have that issue with the "Flow Gallery"

Unfortunately neither of those worked. I'll try the folder trick some more after work.
Another strange thing is that the gallery (even the flow gallery I just installed) will randomly close itself while looking at pictures. So that's the stock and Note II gallery doing that now.

Thats crazy.....i know you have wiped. but have you tried the superwipes. or dialing *2767*3855# ( Will Wipe NO MATTER WHAT AFTER YOU PRESS # ) then going into advaced in CWM and formatting system/cache/partition
i would do all of these, to make sure that there is not something lingering from earlier flashes. i do them anyway before ANY flash just to be safe.

I'll give it a go in a few hours when I'm home from work and let you know how it goes. Thanks for all of the ideas, I appreciate it.
Edit: On the way home I use Quickpic as mentioned. I changed a folder, rebooted, it was there. Did another, it worked. Did 5 or so individually and they all worked. I then did the last few without a reboot after each and now I only see a few folders on my external card and nothing from the internal. I was so close!!
Ok, I tried everything mentioned without any luck.
Tried 10 other things too.
I then removed the external SD card.Then wiped the phone via the dialer, wiped the phone from the setting menu, flashed LG8 via Odin, wiped it via recovery. Copied the files over that go on the internal memory. Everything works, gallery doesn't close by itself. Put in a new external SD card, formatted it, copied the files over and so far everything is OK. It could change at any moment though and I'm worried about changing ROMs now. I'll check back in if it screws up again soon, but hopefully it was just that one card.
Thanks again for the help.
