[Q]Gallery on newer ROMs Gingerbread - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I think I have pinpoint a problem on my device. I would like some advice.
I'm on Synergy ROM....Amon Ra 2.2.1. I flashed Fresh 4.1 beta back a month ago and had the same problem.
When on a Sense ROM gingerbread, I loose Gallery. My SD card unmount everytime I go into Gallery or Mms and attempt to load a picture from gallery. Even when I open gallery via Camera...it maintains for probably a minute or two longer before it unmount.
Why am I having this problem? On Cyanogen and Miui it doesn't happen? Not at all. Is there something up with Sense and my SD card? 16gb class 2 sandisk. Or is there a general bug in the Gallery app on gingerbread sense. I have read about four people on xda with same problem over the past two months....they all conclude with reformat card. But it "only" happens in Gallery. No other system app or download app can reproduce this unmount issue.
Any advice helps.

Synergy RC2 vs RLS1

Are there any big differences between RC2 and RLS1? I have reviewed the changelog and don't see any major changes. I'm not having any issues with RC2 and wondering if I really need to update. Thanks

No not really, the only reason I would is because its a stable release. Not just a candidate anymore.

Agreed and for some reason, RLS-1 is a tad faster than RC-2. You can boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup of just your data & your sdext (if you have your apps stored on an ext3 partition). Afterwards, if you decide to flash RLS-1, all you have to do after booting to your new home screen is skip the sign-in process, remove the default widgets from all 7 screens and then reboot back into recovery and restore the nandroid you just made of your data & sdext. When you boot to your homescreen, you will find that all of your apps and data are present and your homescreens are as they were when you had RC-2 installed. DO NOT DO THIS if you're going to from RC-2 to RSL-1 G-mode.
Thanks for the info. I haven't partitioned my SD card yet. Why has this Rom gone to the partitioning.

You do NOT have to partition your card to use RLS-1, however, I do not know how many apps and games you will be installing on your device. The CM A2SD script is built-in to Synergy so that it auto-detects an ext3 partition and cause your apps to automatically be stored there upon installation. It's beneficial in freeing up internal storage.

Thanks, i went ahead and partitioned. It only makes sense to have the extra internal room. Thanks for ur help.

Hey guys, I had a quick question on the RC2 God Mode Synergy Rom.
Is there anyway to turn the landscape mode off or flash something to turn it off so it doesn't switch between vertical and horizontal when I'm at my main home screen?
I like to keep the landscape mode available when I use the web browser, games, and certain apps, but the auto rotation when I'm at the home screening is kind of a pain esp. if you are moving around.
How does A2sd work with the stock evo class 2 card? Saw some posts that apps are slow on the slower stock sd cards.

I'm not sure with RLS1+, but there is a flashable zip that disables landscape mode for RLS1.

I have a 16GB class 2 card and I'm very satisfied with it and the speed in which my stuff is accessed. Synergy RLS-1 along with the DTA2SD zip that is found in the Synergy Updater has my device operating smoothly & responsive.

Just woke up to a blank sd card.. (not really)

A sd card symbol popped up on my notifications and when i clicked it it said my card was blank or had unsupported format. That freaked me out as i have a lot of stuff on my sd card. Clicking the icon would ask me to format the card or cancel. Going to storage and hitting mount also failed to mount saying blank sd card. Luckily i didn't format and decided to reboot. Everything was still on the card when it restarted. Anyone had this happen? I've always said this phone gets buggy when reading sd cards since i bought it but now it seems its gotten worse on ics builds. Currently running stock FC24. Well I'm just happy my stuff is not deleted and the experience just made me back up my card to my pc just in case.

Need more info to determine why.
What model card is it?
I've had issues with one of my 32gb class 10 cards messing up due to coming loose randomly. Other than that no issues and I have several SD cards for this phone.

Have you ever formatted it or did you use it from the old epic without formatting?
It might need a fresh format and wipe. You might also want to scan it for problems.

Just wanted to see if you've resolved this issue. I had been running Calk's E4GT v 2.9.1 with no problem and recently updated to v 3.0 FC24, ran fine for a few days then noticed a couple days ago some of my apps were missing because my SD card wasn't mounted. Reboot=fixed. Then today it did it 3 or 4 times, once it let me remount and all was fine for a little while. The other times mounting SD resulted in "Bland SD Card" notification and required a reboot.
Just for note, when I updated to v 3.0, I wiped cache/dalvik but not data. Already updated PRL.
Anybody else have a similar issue? Any suggestions?

I ended up upgrading to the FD05 tar and so far it hasn't happened. Maybe its an FC24 issue. I never experienced it on FC22 or previous builds. I can't say for sure thos cuz I've only been on FD05 for a few days and I'm already downloading FD10 lol. But if i run into the issue again I'll bump this thread.

[Q] Can anyone take a look at my phones logcat?

Im having a problem with my phone, specifically with media scanning. It never completes im going to post a logcat of my phone to see if anyone can figure out why.
Is anyone going to answer?
How much storage does your device have free?
The media scan says it's completed. The only errors I see are I/O errors (cannot create folders).
It looks like you are out of storage, or your storage media has corrupted sectors.
Also, this is a global forum, people are on different schedules than you might be. You should allow more than 30 mins, before you start bumping the thread for answers.

Well for the internal sd i have 5.39 GB free while the external is a 16 GB class 4 samsung sd. with 8.97 GB free. Its not the card i scanned it with windows and linux mint and the sectors are fine. It works whenever i put in another sdcard thats empty. as well as the one where the card is full of music.

That indicates it's an issue with your SD card, or a file on it. Try copying the contents to your computer, format the card, and restore your data.
Try it again. If, still not working, format the card and add folders individually to isolate.

Thats exactly what i did. I think either its a directory issue or something within one of the cards.
Alright heres what i found out. (this whole issues made me learnn a lot more about my phones subsystems) It turns out because i had installed a deodexed version of the ICS gallery from CM9 and it was fighting for resources from the built in one from the samsung gallery.

Ok...what on Earth?

So, I've been flashing roms since February, and I am starting to see several random issues all of a sudden.
On a fresh flash of a rom that I have used for a LONG time, I suddenly have force closers on the Weather Unlock animation. My phone reboots randomly (I posted about this issue in rigid detail a few months back). I tried a different Sense 3.5 rom, and I suddenly cannot change certain settings. So, what's going on?
I've also noticed this strange behavior. When I flash from rom to rom, occasionally it will either have the background of the rom before, or the background of the last time that I flashed the same rom. I wonder if "footprints" are being left behind somehow.
And of course, I triple wipe everything, sooo...any opinions/ideas/help?
Using Smelkus 4.3 recovery, by the way.

Remove everything from your SD and format or partion, then if your still having issues go to recovery - other - fix permission and see of that helps. What size and class is your SD?

Well the second thing about the wallpaper that is because you have it set to backup your settings. If you go to settings>privacy check backup then uncheck automatic restore then uncheck backup. So everytime you flash a rom skip through all the start up menus and do what I said above. Having that backup thing checked is linked to your gmail so whenever you signed in it would automatically restore your previous settings

It's a 32gb card, and I don't remember the class. I'll edit my post in a few with that info. But I had those problems before and after my recent format/partitioning of my card. It IS less frequent after the partition, though.

Wow...never thought about that. Strange how it was always checked, but NEVER worked up till recently. It also restores my installed apps, but at a slim chance of success. Usually, I flash, link my email initially, and nothing happens. I've only sren this implemented properly on JB roms, regardless of device.

Are you using a2sd? Anything above a class four and over a certain gig will cause issues. I'm assuming yours is a class ten and that could be some of your issue.

The reason it doesn't install your apps automatically after you link your email is because you haven't opened the market. Once you open the market app and hit agree it starte installing your apps

The class 10 shouldn't be a problem, but anything more than 16GB I think may be the problem. Wasn't the evo made only for a maximum of 4/8GB??
Also buy a recognised brand (e.g. Sandisk) to reduce any problems.
I have a Toshiba 16GB Class 10 and so far has played nicely. *touch wood*

I think that the Evo was made for a max of 16gb. But it certainly seems like my sd card is the problem. My original 8gb card became corrupted when my phone dropped (yes, it made me cringe, too...it fell pretty hard...), and I thought a 32gb card was the best idea I ever had. Apparently not. Sucks...but I'm not getting a new card.

I am using a2sd. However, my card wasn't always partitioned, and I had some rebooting issues before the card was ever modified. I am not disregarding what you are saying, but I think the problem goes beyond a2sd. I will confirm, however, that I have had more problems from the time I partitioned my card. But the benefits far outweigh the issues. For example, I LOVE the fact that I can flash a new rom and use Titanium Backup to Batch Install all of my apps without starting and stopping to move them to the sd card for more space.
I use an 32 gig class 4 SanDisk and have never had any problems with it. And on another note, if you're partitioned, when you flash a rom, and are on smelkus just do superwipe and clear temp. Files (aka cache, dalvik cache, and temp. Files) then when you flash your new rom all your apps will still be there as that partition hasn't been wiped. As long as the rom you use supports a2sd. All you have to get back is app data. a nice feature that I love, and have never had a problem with so far.

Freezing when installing/updating apps...

So ever since I started modding this phone with custom ROMs, I have had an issue with almost every ROM freezing just a bit when installing/updating apps. It all started after installing Chemistry ROM, and then has been happening on every ROM I've been on since then (Paranoid, TPR, Goodness). It happens right after the app finishes installing, my phone is useless and frozen for a good 5-10 seconds. Has anyone had that issue and possibly know a fix?

Maybe something happened to your SD card?
There are lots of posts where wonky sd cards create some strange behavior.
I know there are some posts with the correct steps to backup your sd card contents, format it and then copy the contents back to it.
might be worth a shot.
I hope you get it fixed soon

Maybe your partition got messed up. I know it seems like a PITA but did you try to Odin back to stock and reset partition? Not sure if you need a special file for the reset of the partition though? Maybe someone can answer that before you proceed.
I would say to back up your internal and external sdcards and then reformat each one twice...then go into recovery, wipe everything and reflash your rom
I know its sounds like a long and annoying process, but in the long run your sdcards will perform better even if they arent the source of this issue
Here's a short video. You can see how I install the app and then it freezes and then all of a sudden "snaps back" to what I was doing.

Try running some read/write benchmarks on your internal sd. The transfer speeds may just be slow and thats whats causing it

Ok, try some benchmarks, a reformat may be in your future if its the transfers are lagging
Sorry to sound like a noob Lil but what should I use to run the benchmark? Does the benchmark fix it? I've used quadrant standard a couple times, just don't know what I'm looking for...

Haha no problem, just download any app that will test your transfer speeds (read and write) a couple times, if quadrant tell you that then use that
What i mean when i say this is not that it will fix it, but it'll tell you if the transfer component is the issue behind why you're experiencing lag when installing apps. You can then proceed to fix it by reformatting your internal and external sdcards
OK so I downloaded Antutu and ran a benchmark for Database IO and SD Card Read/Write and got a score of 555. Is that ok? What do I do now?
Honestly have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm looking for. How do you format like you said?
