I am running CM 7.1.0 RC1 plus gapps-20110613, and it has been running fine. But now, out of the blue, Google Maps, Navigation and Car Home has disappeared. I swear I didn't uninstall them myself.
Also, when I try to install Google Maps from Market, the download icon appears briefly in the notification bar, and then disappears and the download stops without explanation.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I guess clearing and resetting everything and reinstalling the ROM and gapps will fix it, but then I have to do all the tedious setup work again.
You have to move the download cache to sd card. A guide can be found by using the search. After creating this symlink you will be able to download apps from market.

that is already did from the rom itself (CM)..the /cache/download is symlinked to the /mnt/asec/download (its in the data partition)..ensure u have enough space on /data..then try the usual things..reboot..retry..clear market data and cache..retry..reboot..rarely it happens in every rom that the market doesn't start the download

And I guess how does not use the cm7 hboot and so did not have enough space on /data. So I recommend to symlink to sdcard.
I've rooted my phone about a week ago and have been fiddling around with all the different things i can do with the phone, but my main reason for doing it was to help with the crap internal storage it has. So i got Link2SD setup and partitioned my SD card with a second ex2 partition, and for a while it will work well, i will have around 70-80mb listed as free on my internal but that won't really change much even when adding and linking new files with l2sd, but lately i've been running into a problem where it will drop down to 10-20 mb and just stay there. I've already tried formatting and doing a clean install which will fix it for a day or so, but it keeps dropping low and staying there even when i delete things to clean up space. I've clean installed 4 times already with the same effect, and now it's getting annoying since i started fresh yesterday and had the issue come up almost instantly, wiped again and now i'm already back at the same spot.. is there some folder that is filling up that i'm unaware of? I'm just very confused about this issue now hah, any help would be greatly appreciated
Link2sd doesn't prevent your phone from thinking that internal storage is full, I think.
I'd recommend trying s2e instead.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
hmm, s2e won't run on stock rom will it? i think i've read that it will only run on cm7/9
Hmm. When I was new to link 2 sd I had same problem. Don't worry I got a fix. ^_^
1.Uninstall stupid system apps you don't use. We need to make space in system partition.
2. Download titanium backup and when u open it. Go to options select integrate davlic cache into rom. It'll take few minutes, when it's complete reboot.
3. Make sure all files are linked.
4. Clear cache occasionally.
5. If you still are low on space you may use this command as the last option.
Warning: you may have to reboot phone after installing a new app to run it for first time.
Go to terminal
Type 'su'
Accept superuser request.
Type 'a2sd cachesd'
Phone will reboot and may take some time to start.
6. That should be it. I'm running cm9 with link 2 sd and I have more than 100 apps still I got 75 mb free.

When you flash a new rom, make sure first thing you do is installation of Link2SD.
Tick auto link on it, and then install whatever you want.
It's how I solved that problem.
Now I have 107 apps installed with Link2SD, and around ~40mb of free internal space.

Try deleting files in /data/tombstones (if there is any), using a file explorer.
Many apps will save their data in your internal memory, even if they're linked to your SD. There are some programs (like S2E) that can move all your data to your SD but you may loose performance if you don't have a fast SD. One alternative is using Titanium Backup to move to SD data of individual apps, this way you can keep in your internal memory the data you want to access quickly (ie your contacts) and you move to SD all the other data. The process is reversible and if you think it slows down too much a specifc app you can move back its data to internal memory.
To do dat you have to go to "Copy/Restore" in Titanium Backup, long-press one app and scroll down until you find the option "Move app data to SD".
This way I've been able to save about 60 MB of additional internal memory and I haven't noticed any change in performance.
An additional advantage is that this Titanium Backup feature is available in the free version; the Dalvik cache integration proposed in a previous post is locked if you don't have PRO version.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if this is still true. I've just installed Titanium Backup Free v5.5.2 and in the "Backup/Restore" screen I follow the instructions above and see a 'Move to SD card' option, but no 'Move app data to SD' option. Choosing the 'Move to SD card' option does not move the app data. Is it still available in the free app?
I'm very happy with link2sd with my stock rom HTC Wildfire S except that it doesn't offer me the ability to selectively link /data/data application files. Perhaps there's another linking app that does a more complete job? I've seen this thread mention simple2ext but that seems to require Cyanogenmod.
Cheers,
Mark

I can provide an answer to my own question here. It turns out that the 'Move app data to sd card' option only appears if Titanium Backup sees a valid mount point, as per this documentation: http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-technical-faq.html#requirements-for-using-move-app-data-to-sd
If you have a phone like mine (Wildfire S, stock rom v2.3.5) then you don't have one of the TB supported mount points so you have to create it yourself using Terminal Emulator and Busybox
e.g.
Code:
$ su
# ln -s /data/sdext2 /data/sd
# mkdir /data/sdext2/app
Also I've now discovered that for the functionality to work properly the second partition must be a unix filesystem type like ext2, ext3 or ext4, but not vfat (FAT32) since that doesn't allow TB to create symbolic links.
There's more discussion of this and gory details on this thread
Cheers,
Mark

Brother u are a life saver, I just followed your syntax and it worked like charm. I am now having 98 mb of internal memory from 38mb.
But have Couple of question for u....
1. Can u tell me if I have to run this command again and again after installing new apps or will it work on its own if once executed?
2. I have link2sd installed before this command and have linked all the files to 2nd partion of my sd card.
Is it safe to uninstall link2sd app now?

1. You only need this command again when the memory runs way too low. Don't try it again coz it reduces performance too.
2. I guess you can/ I've never tried it tough.
I ran into problem with your command...it force closes some of my apps which I noticed later ....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
I had the same problem a while ago that i had to reflash the rom because apps were force closing all the time
The reason this happened was because i downloaded several apps at the same time, so Link2SD didnt had enough time to link all files
and the internal memory became full and went crazy
the only solution for me was deleting all apps and reinstalling them
so my recommendation would be not to download more than 1 app at the same time, wait for Link2SD to link files, and then download the next one
Actually I did that I did a factory reset and then ran the command..bt after that my internal apps was also force closing like playstore,etc

i have the same problem and the solution (2 steps) is a bit stupid but here it is:
1 - go into (manage applications) in settings and wait till it calculate the storage of every app (under every app's name), where you will find that the memore increased usually from 12 mb to abou 20 mb.
2 - you have to go into link2sd app and do one of these 3 things:
1. link library files
2. link dalvic cache files
3. clear cache (not clear dalvic cache)
one of these options or more will do the track. now check storage and you will find more 30 or 40 mb
if anyone know a good application that links data too, i'l be very thankful
I am using link2sd with ext3 partition created through cwm recovery after re booting some apps disappear and i have to install them again
Any fix?

Hopefully the question says it all really. How can I disable a system app in the EliteMod/AOKP ROM? I've tried googling this but can't find any way of disabling the system delivered Facebook app.
Under andromadus or cyanogen mod ROMs I could use the pm command in a terminal but this doesn't seem to be applicable here as it fails. Does AOKP bring its own package manager?
Thanks

There is no 'system delivered' Facebook app in EliteMod (nor in AOKP I don't think). You actually have to download and install Facebook from the Play store. Yours was probably automatically installed when you signed into google, in which case, just uninstall it.
But normally for 'system' apps you goto Manage app, tap on it, and then the 'disable' button. Just be aware that some actual system apps may break the phone if disabled.
facebook is safe to get rid of altogether, use titanium backup to delete it or root explore, or through terminal or adb. any of these methods can remove it

Assuming you know where exactly to look if the OP is talking about more than just the downloaded Facebook app you could just 'uninstall' from Manage Apps.
I wonder if the OP is talking bout an AOKP rom with EliteKernel on it? In which case it would depend on how AOKP itself was distributed, I know That EliteMod Rom (kernel and rom, and nothing else) does not come with Facebook.
All,
Thanks for your responses. I was able to delete it using titanium backup. manage apps gave me options only to uninstall updates, but not the app itself which makes me believe it was shipped with the ROM. I'm using the EliteMod ROM with kernel for ICS as per this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700436
I don't like the Facebook app as it seems a bit cumbersome, hence why I wanted to get rid of it, but hopefully its removal won't impact on other Facebook apps I have installed. We shall see... I don't recall installing it, but I'll admit that it could have been installed automagically
Thanks again.

I'm using the same (note my signature), it doesn't come with Facebook, but your google account will re-install it automatically upon signing in if you have your google account set up to do so. You should be able to uninstall the main Facebook app itself form manage apps (would appear under downloaded).
Though I get the same thing you do, and I imagine that you would have to uninstall updates before you can uninstall the main app.
however if you searched Facebook for Android in the Google Play market, you would see the Open / Uninstall options right there.
So next time (for a downloaded app, as we determined Facebook is not a system app in this case):
1) Try from Manage Apps
2) Try from Google Play
3) Try other means (titanium backup, or going in thru 'adb shell' and removing the apk from /data/app/)
Hi,
I noticed you were/are running the same ROM, but it's still odd. I did try looking at Facebook in the play store, but again there was no uninstall option. Still, the end result is that Facebook is no more. At some point I'm going to implement dataswap, after I've backed up my sd card and I'll take another look then.
I did check the EliteModICS120706.zip and it does contain a com.facebook.katana.zip under the system/app directory. Whilst I'm familiar with Linux (and of course Android is based on this), does its inclusion in the ROM zip file mean that it is automatically installed
Thanks for your help

I can confirm that both the likes of com.twitter.android.apk and say com.facebook.katana.apk are present under /system/app but course com.facebook.katana-1.apk is present under /data/app for me since I installed it.
I *think* the two that comes with Android are notification/tie-ins with the rest of the system, i.e.: what allows you to connect say Twitter/Facebook/Yahoo/Google/Etc account to the rest of the phone for means of notification and contact imports etc. I just know that I actually had to install the Facebook app before that option would even show up under System Settings -> Accounts.
By the way when you partition the SD Card for sd-ext (which is what is advised for dataswap), depending on your type of recovery, do not create a second sd-ext, and preferably skip the swap as well, so you should only have two partitions on the SD Card, a sd-ext and the FAT32 (for your normal /sdcard stuff). The dataswap mod will put a swap file within /data/local since most of your apps will be moved from /data/app and /data/app-private over to /sd-ext/app*
And furthermore, don't bother to move any of your apps "to SD card" when using sd-ext, since they are all already on the SD card (just in the faster, more efficient /sd-ext/ partition that's mapped to /data/).
the apps twitter and facebook came with the rom and are installed under system app, can not be removed with market, nor settings>manage apps. many roms nowadays come with those so you can either remove them from the rom before download or remove them after via adb, terminal, tb, rootexplorer, or whatever means.
you do not need to unistall updates before you uninstall apps, even system apps, you just need to uninstall them diffrently than just settings>manage apps>uninstall
that will only work for apps stored in /data

The modded play store could be messing with it. Especially if Google Play tries to update itself (which is does without telling you) might even mess with the edits. You would have to get a logcat when you try to install something that says there's not enough storage space. The package manager should throw some sort of code to let us know whats going on.

This happens when you have a corrupt data Dir for the app.
Use Root Explorer or something similar, and go to data/data and look for the app folder that is giving you the error message and delete the app folder.
You should be able to reinstall the app.

Now it says I do not have enough space to install it. Storage says I have ~650 mb free. Why can I not install a 9mb app? I have cleared my cache and dalvik and still I get insufficient storage space.
