Since I switched to CM7 (about two months ago) my calculator app is missing the minus and times buttons. There's just blank squares where they used to be. Even the functionality of them are gone. When I press them it inserts a space and gives an error when enter is pressed. Has anybody else seen this and know how to fix it?

Wow I've never heard of that problem before. Some general steps you can try are clearing cache and dalvik cache from recovery and running a fix_permissions from terminal or rom manager.
If that doesn't work I suggest manually deleting it from the phone and upgrading to the latest nightly/stable. You can do that by running this from terminal:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/Calculator.apk
Try those but if they don't work I've got a few more ideas.
Thanks. I'll give that a try.

didn't work. however, the functionality is there for the buttons now. weird. I did a wipe/reinstall of CM7 earlier and it returned briefly. I wonder if applying my UOT Kitchen theme after had anything to do with it.
Reflash 7.1 without a wipe and don't install your theme. What happens?

Hello All,
I have a rooted Evo with DamageControl's 3.2.2.1 rom. I know it has apps2sd built into the OS, yet I cannot seem to get this working at all. Would anyone be kind enough who has this OS and a2sd working to make a quick and dirty guide? Ihave tried partitioning via Rom Manager and then turning it on...tried a few things. Any help is appreciated.
I would like some help with this as well. Have tried all the same steps, just can't seem to figure it out.

Im sure someone out there knows how to do this!
Got this from another forum:
Did you patition it on the phone? Did you upgrade EXT2 to EXT3? If the answer to either or both of these, that could be the problem.
Type this in order:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools (or wherever you have installed the sdk)
adb remount
adb shell
busybox --install /system/xbin
mkdir /system/sd
a2sd
exit (wait until its done doing its thing, you should see # when its done)
restart your phone after the prompt is done spewing and you're all set.

Personally I don't think there's any need for this since the EVO has hugeee internal memory. This was used mostly on older phones.
Thanks I'll try it when I get home
correct, most roms using this will only use app2sd if you have the ext partition on the sdcard, otherwise it defaults to the normal app storage
Hi and thanks for helping. Right now I'm flipping between various Synergy ROMs and Deck 1.2.1, and when I flash Deck I lose A2SD support. Flashing DarkTremor's A2SD zip in RA 2.3 recovery doesn't seem to work when I'm using Deck (the zip reports a successful flash but nothing actually pops up like when you install the DT A2SD zip on other ROMs).
I've got a 16GB card partitioned exactly as Virus recommends for all Kingdom/Synergy ROMs (2GB partition upgraded to ext3; apologies, I can't find the original post with the explicit instructions). I'm using dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta05-signed.zip and Tiamat 4.06 for a kernel. Any information/guidance would be most appreciated!
--VK
I'm not 100% on this, but you can try flashing Decks GB, then flash DT beta 04..
Here's the link to beta 04
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938
After flashing, open terminal and type
su
a2sd check
If you get no errors your probably good to go

Hi, and thanks for the suggestion. It did seem that for some reason I was using another bum version of DT (I think I got it off the attachments list for a post somewhere; those lists should really have reference links to the posts, but I digress). When I used beta 04 I got the functionality back, but strangely I was getting a lot of Market FCs so I re-did the entire ROM from the beginning. Everything seemed to work, but anything I restored or downloaded disappeared after a reboot. Running "a2sd reinstall" thankfully fixed that issue and everything seems normal again.
I've never seen Dark Tremor pop anything up. It does usually set itself up though. Pull up terminal or adb shell and run ls -l /data. You should see symlinks pointing to the SD card if it's setup. If not, run a2sd reinstall, and it should set things up. If that doesn't work, then yes, you may have an issue.
I have been having an issue with not being able to update the Maps app (insuficient space error) in another thread but after trying a few options have now managed to kill the market !
After trying to clear data cache etc I reflashed the ROM (Redux 1.2) to no avail.
I read about a possible cure through terminal monitor of moving the market cache to SD via terminal which I followed using :-
mount -o remount,rw /
rmdir /cache
mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard/cache
ln -sf /mnt/sdcard/cache
mount -o remount,ro /
This failed ( I didnt note the error message unfortunately) & now when accessing the market Downloading an app fails midway through the process.
Does anyone know how I can reverse this process ?
I don't know if this will help at all, but I was having a problem with the Market as well. I had just installed a new rom, but was getting error messages saying there wasn't enough space to install. I just ended up backing up my SD card, formatting it, and starting over. That solved my problem, I don't know if it'll help you with yours.

Try downloading marketfix from the Android market. Had the same problem, this fixed it.

A solution similar to your attempt:
http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showt...e-to-install-large-apps-like-MAPS-from-market
I know it's for MIUI, but it works for other roms as well.
Ive had this prob now for a while and its driving me crazy! I have searched for queries
here but cant find the exact problem or working solution.
Problem:
I want to install a program from the Market. I click to install, but as soon as I hit the
button it throws me back to the main Market page. The download starts in
top Android bar. It downloads to 100% (Ive checked the data usage and it does download all)
but then disappears! No error message, nothing installed.
The funny thing is that if I 'open' the download icon on the top bar. I can see the green
download bar. If I click this there is no option to cancel the download(!) instead clikcing on it
it opens up another app on Android Market! Weird!
Same happens with wifi or on 3G. I have about 30mb free at moment.
I tried emptying all possible caches on all apps can think of
***Rebooted
***Unmounted SD card - tried download and install with or without SD card
***Taken SIM card out nad battery
***Cant downgrade Market, its 2.3.4 version
***Tried different apps, big and small. Nothing is installing now...
Nothing seems to help!
Depending on your Rom and hboot your /cache partition might be full, so you could try to reboot into recovery and wipe the cache-partition. If I recall correctly, that's where market usually (i.e. this depends on the rom you are using - some use the sd-card to cache market downloads to allow hboots with small /cache partion) downloads and stores the apps prior installation.
Also deleting market data and cache might be worth a try. Actually, try this first. ^^

Hi Tillus. Thanks for quick reply!
Im on 'stock' rom. Gingerbread 2.3.3 the official one from HTC. Can I still go to the recovery mode?
I have emptied the Market data and cache dozens of times. I went even to android-secure folder deleting all the old unused stuff. Nothing seems to help... its weird: Market starts to download but it just vanishes after 100%!
hmm, I don't think, you can wipe the cache-partition when using stock-setup and I don't think /cache is the culprit, because in stock-setup the /cache-partition is quite large.
But you can still check: Download a terminal-app and check the output of 'df -h'. There is a line saying Filesystem: '\dev\block\mtdblock04' and Mounted on: \cache and the size, used and available space on this partition.
Edith Says: Download a terminal-app...
Can you install apks without using the play store?
Hi
Ive got a terminal app. How do I check the output df -h? Sorry im bit novice using it.
I typed in \dev\block\mtdblock04 but it says permission denied. Mind let me know what to type exactly?
Many thanks!
just type df -h . Let's see, if it works, without root-permissions.
Sry, my last post was confusing
Doesn't seem to work on my phone...
I tried:
df -h
No such file or directory
df-h
Permission denied
'df-h'
Permission denied
More ideas love to hear!
Hmm, I'm out. Sorry I couldn't help. :/
Code:
busybox df -h

Android is based on Linux. You dont use a backslash on Linux.
Hi
I tried that busybox df -h, but it says:
Busybox: permission denied
Is this because of stock Rom, or because a fault?
Atm I can't download and install any more apps from Market...
Menu>Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data
And try again after a restart.
This exact path doesnt exist: Menu>Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data
The following does: Menu-Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-All-Market->Clear data
This one I have done dozens of times now, as well as claering the Market Updater and Download Manager. Restarted, taken off battery, SIM, SD card.. nothing seems to help.
Im gutted...
The past few days I've been having problems with the past store, wonder if anyone can help, google search and xda search not turning up much help...
I had an update for Sygic, first it gave that it couldn't load to SD or USB storage, then it would download and hang without installing. Sygic support recommends deleting some settings files from the app, still awaiting confirmation on one point.
In several attempts to download and update various other apps I am getting insufficient storage space (app2SD should be working... ran through the installation procedures again last night, and left it overnight) and download that just hang and won't install. Erased play data to no effect, uninstall FB app to try and work around it, now I can't download it, just hangs.... there goes my social life
Ready to factory reset if needed, any help before I do?

Re: App2SD, play store, problems..
App 2 sd probably is working, but I'm guessing your dalvik cache is still on the phone and needs moving to the card.

Re: App2SD, play store, problems..
Do I need to move dalvick with recovery, or a script?
edit- another search led me to S2E, but if i look for it on play, its not compatible.... still dont know if i could download it anyway......

How to move the data folder or dalvik-cache:
Sometimes this is also described by the term "A2SD+". Some Custom ROMs support it (e.g. MoDaCo Custom Froyo, according to the comparison table). So if you use MoDaCo Custom Froyo and have A2SD enabled (by having created the ext2 partition on the sd card as explained in section A), then also the dalvik-cache will be moved to the sd card.
However you also can do it by yourself if you already have A2SD enabled (this is necessary, as well as root access).
start the terminal and type (without |):
in order to move /data/data:
| su
| cp -pr /data/data /system/sd
| rm -r /data/data
| ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data
Be careful! you will loose all your application data if this fails. however usually the default data can be restored by android using the .apk file. I recommend creating a Titanium Backup before doing this (as well as an nandroid backup).
and in order to move dalvik-cache:
| su
| cp -pr /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd
| rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
| ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
If the dalvik-cache should get lost, it's not such a problem because it will be easily recreated on reboot (taking some minutes the first time). However, the dir /data/dalvik-cache should exist and be accessible for the system (or the according symlinked dir).
Caution! If you do this, most of the apps or even the whole system won't work if the whole SD card is ejected / unmounted!
this any use? not sure i like the last line though......

you can use int2ext
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
this app or script via te?
edit- wiping data now, enabling app2sd on JV-JB, and when activating one permission is to move dalvik, getting confused now....
SOLVED- kinda complete wipe and re-flash.........

That was my first thought
Aye, was trying to avoid it, maybe learn something in the meantime, but I was going round in circles. Funny that when I tried mount2sd, it gave a warning, must have been something with the script. Seems to have settled down, just wondering why Play store was acting up too...

Dunno what kind of update they did back in september, but since then many people noticed that something is wrong. Must be that OAuth2 they implement.
I'll Google that one later
