Hello! Attempting to have a best version of Android in my phone, I've installed Cyanogenmod 12.1, and didn't have problems. I installed an app called link2sd, give it root acess and tried to uninstall some native apps of the rom that I thought I'd not use. But, after changing my sd card and uninstalling the app hangouts using link2sd, my keybord stopped, and when I searched for it in the list of apps, I realized it was uninstalled. So, I tried to restart the phone, and when I did it, so many native applications like the file manager was unistalled too. Tried to restart the phone by the recovery mode and after reinstaling the rom, I received many alerts like "Unfortunaly, Trebuchet has stopped", by many apps and google apps stopping and can't use play store, and many other aplicattions. I tried to format the USB Storage, the sd card, wipe cache and data, restore the cellphone... And nothing works. Can someone help me?
Hi,
While in recovery, did you select factory reset, then did you also wipe your /system partition? What gapps are you using?

Yes, I did the factory reset and wipe system partition. I'm using arm 5.1 pico 20160708 gapps.

After flashing ROM for the first time, did you try flashing over again (Don't boot into ROM, just reboot to recovery)? Sometimes a second flash will solve issues like this (gapps files missing, etc).

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?
pls help me

Try the SuperWipe from "Android Revolution HD" here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
Be careful, this will erase everything that is not on your external SD-card. Read the instruction first.

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

CWM Recovery mounts and storage FORMAT system cache data and preload .
That fails wipe internal sd card .
jje
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"
Then i suggest as per previous replies to the same question you are auto downloading from Google play after installing a rom .

I disabled wifi/data and sync when it ask for a wifi connection (at the openning screen of the new rom) so there is no way it somehow sync with play store.
you can see below what I mean by saying "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 .

[Q] [H] Dirty flashing CM10.2 nightlies causes sd-apps & app settings inaccessible.
i've just encountered a problem i've never faced before:
i've been dirty flashing the nightlies periodically to get new features/bug fixes with no problem. just clear cache/fix permissions and all is good.
yesterday i tried to go from 8/9 to 8/17, but when the phone boots up, all apps lost their settings and all apps that were moved to the SD card are missing. when trying to look for the sd-card-app folder in /sdcard using DiskUsage, i found a chunk of inaccessible space ~1GB listed as "System Data". i highly suspect that this is where the sd-card applications are.
i tried to flash back to the 8/9 nightly but it gets stuck on boot animation. (never had this happen to me before with cm10.1 or 10.2.) i've tried re-flashed both nightlies but they give the same result.
anyone encountered this or something similar before? i'm not familiar with debugging this so if you need more information from me let me know so i can provide them. help greatly appreciated. thanks!
Something similar happened to me. My external sd-card wasn't accessible in some app's, so no camera, no dropbox,...
I fixed the problem performing a checkdisk of the sd on my computer (Win7):
1. Connect your phone to the PC as mass storage
1. Run cmd.exe
2. Use this command: chkdsk /X /F Y: (Y: the drive on windows of the ext sd-card)
3. Wait...
Good luck!

thanks for the response. i tried it out but it didn't work for me.
did you do this to get app data and access back on the "new" rom (in my case the 8/17) or to get unstuck from the boot animation on the "old" rom? (in my case 8/9) when you run dskchk did it return with errors fixed? (mine said no errors found) did you run dskchk before or after you flash the rom? does it matter? (does flashing the rom cause the error?)
once again thanks for the help!

Whenever you are upgrading. Perform a Clean Install. Specially when you are migrating from one Android Version to another.
Now try wiping the cache and dalvik after flashing 8/9.
If it doesn't help, wipe cache, dalvik and system BEFORE flashing, then reboot.
If you cannot do a clean install everytime, stick to RCs, Ms, or Stable builds. But clean flash everytime.

thanks for the response. unfortunately wiping cache, delvik, and system before installing didn't resolve the issue. (still stuck in boot animation for the 8/9 rom)
question. when you say "clean install" what do you mean exactly? a factory reset? or just wiping of all cache and system like you suggested above?
thanks!
Before flashing a new Rom I use to wipe data&cache, cache and dalvik cache, and also format /system, /data and /cache under BMM and after that flash the new Rom.
You may try this way.
I am getting a fc in setup wizard after installing the Infamous ROM 4.3 "pac_p4_4.3-Infamous_20131017.zip".
Followed below steps:
1. using CWM 6.0.2.7, wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. wipe delvik cache
4. Flashed Infamous ROM
5. Flashed gaps "gapps-jb-20130813-signed"
6. Reboot
after getting the fc on setup wizard i tried, 1) wiping cache and rebooting 2) reflashing the infamous rom on top again.
both solutions did not work.
I am coming from Ganbarou 4.3 ROM and before that i had Toldo's v8 ICS rom. Ganbarou ROM was working well.
Just wanted to test different JB 4.3 roms.
can someone help me out?
thanks.
Have you tried reflashing gapps?

First you need to update your recovery to 6.0.3.6. You can get it from Droidbasement.
Secondly, before flashing you need to format system under Mounts and Storages in addition to the wipes you mentioned above.
After installation wipe cache and dalvik cache again and then reboot.
The gapps is okay as it is same as mine, and I never had any issues.
Cheers.

Great advice...
I also always suggest a system format...
I just wanted to add that with the older recovery...it doesn't like 4.3 gapps. You can boot after ROM flash. Then go back to recovery and flash gapps...wipe cache and dalvik before. And that will work also and I've seen gapps cause some weird issues with this device as well as my e4gt..
Or just use twrp...I've had zero issues with flashing anything since switching...
Thanks for the advice. (John and Gil81)
I followed the steps as advised i.e.
1. under Mount and Storage, format system
2. format cache
3. format data
4. flash rom, this time i flashed CM10.2/SGT7 rom.
5. reboot
everything was working smooth, so moved on to
6. flashing gaps
7. reboot and now
8. Enjoying. (restoring apps)
great work from all the developers of 4.3 roms for our device.
have not upgraded the CWM recovery yet, but please advise if it is absolutely necessary to do that. May be i would do it with any future upgrades.
also to get better understanding of the recovery, what is the difference between format data and format sdcard option?
thanks.

Formatting sdcard will wipe everything in your device including the media partition where your user generated data like pictures, videos, downloads etc and also all the files copied to the device from PC. So be careful NOT to format the sdcard.
Formatting data, on the other hand will remove your installed gapps and the associated data. This is necessary when migrating from an older ROM to a newer one that will need you to install different version of gapps that is suitable for the newer ROM. Even when crossing from one ROM to another based on the same version of android, it becomes necessary to format data to get a clean install so the data from the different ROMs do not conflict.
The recovery version, as I understand it, is necessary for the changes to the filing system of 4.3 which is different from 4.2.2. In addition it is also designed to support the multiuser feature of 4.3. I am a single user so I can't attest to how it helps there.
Cheers.

Hello,
I just installed CM7.2 RC4 on S5830i, and Gapps. Whenever I try to download a new application or update an already installed application, I get the following message "[Application Name] could not be downloaded due to an error (492)".
I tried the following to try to solve the issue but in vain:
Clearing data and cache of market and Google Services Framework
Wiping cache and dalvik cache
Formatting SD card (anyway apps were set to be installed on internal storage)
Factory Reset
Factory Reset then Wipe /cache, /system and /data and then reinstalling the ROM and Gapps.
What can be done about it?
This is a kernel error where it fails to mount /cache properly. It is not the ROM issue.
One solution posted by @marcussmith2626 on the SGY forums is to make a Nandroid backup from CWM first, then do an advanced restore of the cache from there. It should work, and has worked for me.

I have encountered similar problem and I solved it by using an app called "Cache Download to SD (root)". This app enables cache on the SD Card so that you will never get the Error 492 ever again. Here is the link,

Try the app I specified earlier. It works on any phone that runs on Android 2.2 & up and as long as it is rooted. One of the cause for this is as @NightRaven49 mentioned, the failure of the kernel to mount /cache partition properly. Another cause which I personally encountered is that some roms set the default cache size to 25 MB. So any app download greater than this size will give you this error. In general, this is mostly related with cache partition. Hope I Helped

I have an i717, not a 55830, but I tried this fix anyway. It didn't work for me. What resolved my issue, was flashing the stock recovery, and wiping/formatting the cache there. Unfortunately, installing the stock recovery also installed a bunch of at&t apps (yuck!)
Hello everyone,
A friend of mine has a Galaxy S3 i9300 which I installed years ago CM13. I don't what update he installed but now the phone starts with the screen "Preparing X of Y apps" => when we think it's over (because the phone restarts at the end), well it does another "Preparing X of Y apps", and so on
I don't know what I should do : repair it by flashing the old zip (cm13-2016...-.zip) but maybe I have to "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik" before?
Or maybe I have to wipe everything (wipe cache, wipe dalvik...) in order to flash LineageOS ? I'd like to follow this path anyway but how can I save the data of my friend such as SMS, Contacts.. ?
It has TWRP and I can mount the partitions and access them via PC
Thank you for your help

That's what could cause the problem ? Do you have a link about which version of Gapps should I install ? I'm gonna try that by flashing them via TWRP
Should I do a wipe or anything else ?
The only thing you could wipe is cache without having to start over. I doubt that'll fix anything. You can try sourcing another copy of that version to see if the one you have is corrupt.. Otherwise it's probably going to be that it simply doesn't support your os.

I am not sure, try restoring only the data partition over a clean lineage install. I don't like dirty flashing, but you have no solution other than try this. If it doesn't work it's time to start from zero.
I was almost forgetting, try flash cm13 zip, then restore data partition from twrp and if you can boot, do a Titanium backup of the data you want. Then do a clean install of lineage and try to restore the titanium backup

I think you need the Pro version of Titanium to do that. I don't know any alternative
After many attempts, I finally managed to make it work again
Here's what I do (maybe it could help other people)
Step 1: I restored the Nandroid backup I made via TWRP
=> At this point Cyanogenmod13 is back
Step 2: I found a Cyanogenmod14.1 zip file somewhere on internet (cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip)
=> I flashed it before/after wipe cache/dalvik
Step 3: I flashed Gapps for this version of Android thanks to open-gapps website
=> Last wipe cache/dalvik before Reboot
Step 4: Enjoy
