Hello all! I have a problem with /data partition. I was on JoyOS RC4 + Fresh ThunderKernel 2.1 for CM (now on standard CM 7.2). As usual, I rebooted my phone and realized that lots of apps are missing! I tried to reinstall them, but every time I got just a reboot. When I managed to access the file system, I saw that "app" and "app-private" catalogs were missing in /data partition! Only re-flashing (via CWM, another ROM, for example) was helpful. Anybody knows why does it happen? Maybe SD-EXT?

hi
i recently flashed the CyanogenMod 7 beta3 found here
I have an issue with my apps, prob. due to the a2sd stuff. i can't see most of my app's widgets, including the messaging widget. maximum annoyance!! when i put other apps such as facebook in the phone memory, the widget appears in the selection screen, but the messaging app was and is in the phone memory all the time..
HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRETIATED
also, i'm planning to make a vid about flashing the cyanogenmod rom to a phone. who's with me!
i'm having problems with darktremor's a2sd too, it seems to be that it's unable to mount/recognize /sd-ext... i've just backed up with TB, re-partitioned and wiped everything, let's see if a fresh flash enables CM 7 b3/a2sd to recognize /sd-ext -.-"
it keeps gettin stuck at the cyanogenmod animation... it's getting me mad!
there was no way for me to get dt's a2sd working on cm7b3... -.-"

Look at the CM7 thread, in the first post is the solution to your problem, you just need to flash a .zip before flashing CM7..

I think it is native to the system, at least you are able to move apps..
Correct me if i'm wrong
Am I the only one that the choise of the keybord is not stored between reboots?? can someone test please?
(using smartkeyboard pro)
Moved the app to phone memory and worked fine, my bad!
Well, these actions may help you guys "am not sure":
-When installing a widget in CM7, never move it to SD card, it will be only recognized when it's located at phone memory.
-When installing CM7 itself, don't partition your SDcard, just format it using PC or any utility and install CM7 using recovery "so it won't stuck".
-if the stuck thing still happening, download from CM7 topic a Wiper file which will wipe your system setting if wiping is not working on your O1.

I did the partition but flashed the Wiper file, worket fine!
Is thera any way to flash CM7beta4(when it's released) and keep all the apps and configs?
EDIT: Sorry, wrong thread.
When i connect the phone to USB, the widget crash, and also the apps i have to move it to SD because they installing in the phone memory. Dont recognize the Partition.
Sorry for my English.
question
my messaging app (stock) is in my memory, and i can access it, but i cannot access the messaging widget. CAN ANYONE HELP?
I'm not that noob, I can follow instructions, I erased /system using adb, and flashed cm7 many times, partitioning (needs to be done to get darktremor's a2sd working) and flashing a2sd every time, it's just that this time just didn't work... I flashed again doing a "fresh install" and got cm7 to load, but there's no way to get a2sd working... Using "native" cm7's a2sd doesn't just move apps to fat32 partition?

If you already have cm7 on the device, flashing the rom's zip file from recovery should be enough ;-)

Hi,
I recently flashed a new ROM (fla.sh's fla.sh X2, it's excellent, btw) and successfully set up ext4 partitions for a2sd.
The problem is that I sorta "pushed" my phone a little bit too hard whilst downloading 3 apps simultaneously from the Market (I have a weak connection and was furiously multitasking at that time). In the end, those 3 apps wouldn't start at all; it'll load, then pop up a force close dialog.
First I thought it was a problem with the Market data or cache, so I cleared both. Still got errors. Now I believe that the apps are messed up from the ext4 partition.
How can I fix this? I browsed the partition through Terminal Emulator and Ubuntu, but I can't seem to find anything that'll help.
Should I format the partition (or SD card)? I'm picking that as a last resort, since I have other apps in a2sd.
Thanks in advance, let me know if I'm being ambiguous or you need more info.
actually u can browse a2sd partition directly using ur phone, no need ubuntu or teminal whatsoever. in this case, im using rootexplorer. its /system/sd
I can't believe I just realized that. Thanks for mentioning!
But still isn't helping me with my problems.
I took a look over at the fla.sh X2 post, and fla.sh said that it's caused by the V6 Supercharger script.
I'm downloading the de-supercharger script now, hoping it'll fix it.
Have you tried unninstalling them and then installing them again? :S
No, just do a factory reset before flashing. It will format your .asec and sd-ext folders and clean out the apps.

That's the first logical thing I did. If it worked, I wouldn't asked for help, friend.

Actually, it's solved now. In the end, I had to format the SD Card.
Btw, how do I mark a thread as solved using the XDA app on Android? :\
But thanks for everybody's help!

Just add [closed] or something to your first post
It all started when I tried to update busybox and it told me that multiple versions were present. I reflashed KH3 (which brought me back to basic busybox) and the problem still persists. I can download FINE over 3G. Never had this problem before.
Factory reset the only solution? I've read online that it works, but I'd like to avoid it.
I've decided to go for the hard reset, but I'm worried that I won't clean everything that's necessary.
I think busybox may be installed in /sbin which is outside of /system. I was planning on flashing the leaked KH3 (NON FRANKENSTEIN), but doesn't that only wipe /system?
How can I restore the absolute root of my device to stock? By that I mean the parent "directory" (if you can call it that) of /system.
Thanks!
So I wiped absolutely everything, have basic busybox installed, and I'm still getting the issue. Sometimes I can get an app to install, but more often than not the download fails to start on wifi.
No one else experiences this? Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I'm so frustrated!
I also think that the wipes may not have worked properly because somehow PowerAMP remembered my settings and Tasker didn't revert to the default notification icon. I can't figure out how this is possible if /system and /data were wiped.
Does flashing a stock ROM not wipe all of /system?

Clean wipe via CWM recovery mounts and storage format system data and sd card .

Aside from SD card and USB storage, doesn't all of that happen when flashing stock ROM?

When you have the Rom on internal_sd, then put it on your external_sd and when you have it on the external_sd, then try to put it in your internal_sd.

I was having the same problem, when I downloaded the .zip there was a space in the file's name. Remove that and you should be good.
I'm also having a problem, when I install the ROM I have a bunch of problems. I get messages saying com.process.gapps has stopped, Android Keyboard has stopped. On top of that when I choose System Settings it says the apk is not installed and the phone dialer and status bar are both missing.
I followed the extended instructions exactly as I came from Litening ROM and that didn't work. Tried re-downloading/re-flashing RR but still no joy. Any help?
I've been having an issue where it installs fine as first or second ROM (siyah) but won't boot. Doesn't even get to boot animation; just freezes either right after opting to boot into it as first or second ROM, or allowing it to boot straight from an of state.
Tried full wiping including manually formatting system partition, redownloading the ROM, using a different kernel and even changing the installation type from custom to full.
No luck.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Working now. Copied the ROM from my external memory to the internal; installed RR (secondary ROM) n then fixed permissions and wiped dalvik

Hello everyone!
Up till now this forum helped me in every stupid thing i did with my HTC Tattoo (rooting, insxtaling cyanogen etc) but now im stuck and i couldn find any anwsers so i have to ask for help
Here's the deal: I have cyanogen mod 7 on my HTC Tattoo and yesterday it got stuc (bootloop) and wouldnt turn on. Me being the i***t i am didnt do a backup recently, so i did a backup in clockworkmod recovery. I did a factory reset and everythin and the phone works ok now, but i've lost all my data. I can live without the apps and sms's but i would really like to get my contacts back. I tried to backup only the data in clockwork recovery, but i get the same bootloop again. I managed to extract the contacts2.db file from my data.img, but now i don't know how to get it back on my device. I tried coppying it back in the correct folder using root explorer, but that didnt work (contacts were still empty) and now i'm stuck.
I would really apreciate some help
Thank you!
This is why you should sync your contacts to Google. Before you wiped your phone, did you try flashing the CM ROM zip first? If the cause of the boot loop was something you messed up in the /system partition, then flashing the CM zip will wipe your system partition and put a clean copy of the ROM there, and your phone will work. You wouldn't need to wipe your data partition. So try this now, restore the backup of your messed up ROM and flash the CM zip over it. Let's see if it works.
