Hi guys,
I've flashed many roms many times and this is an issue i've never seen before and I haven't figured out how to fix.
I ran into this issue with CM7, Redemptive Revo 2.2, and Re-Engineered so it doesn't appear to be ROM specific. I also ran into the issue with LauncherPro, Go Launcher and ADW Ex so it doesn't seem to be launcher specific either.
Basically the issue is that after setting up my widgets and rebooting the phone, all the widgets will be gone. LauncherPro will tell me 'Problem loading widget' for every widget while Go Launcher will just not display them.
I've re-installed Revo after a full wipe, installed Go Launcher from the market and I still ran into that issue late list night so I'm really confused as to what could be causing this.
Has anyone ever ran into an issue like that? I'm not sure what more I could do, I did a full wipe (dalvik included), re-installed the launcher from the market (no titanium restore) and still after a reboot all the widgets are gone.
Thank you
You didn't per chance move your apps to the sd card, did you?

I do have an app partition on my SD card but I didn't manually move apps to the SD card. That being said though, I know some roms (CM7 for sure) automatically decide where an app gets installed so maybe some of them did get installed to the SD card.
I did a backup of my important files on my SD card and re-partitionned it. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
Well now I'm completely baffled... I wiped my SDCard, did a full wipe of the phone. Installed rEVOlution 2.2, installed my apps via appbrain, setup my widgets, rebooted, and after the reboot all my widgets are gone again...

Check to make sure Appbrain didn't put those apps back on your sd card (if they were even there to begin with).
Ahh I didn't think about that. I checked and the skin for my audio manager widget was on the SD card as well as my poker game. Maybe the fact that the widget was using a skin on the SD card caused the launcher to have issues loading the widgets.
I rebooted twice and the widgets reloaded fine every time so that might have fixed it.
Yea Widgets can't be on the SD

Sorry to bump an old thread here but, pray tell, would any of you guys know of a solution/workaround for someone who has just the exact same problem, but with widgets which are ALL stored in the onboard memory (along with all the other ~650 apps that I already find essential -and this just because I'm waiting to get my class-10 32Gb microSD tomorrow to transfer them to a sd-ext2 partition, don't want to repeat the same process of moving all those apps one by one again.. And even with all that the DS still has more than 250Mb available with the default partition layout. Gotta love this thing. ^^) ??
Been looking everywhere, but no one seems to have a guaranteed, sure-fire, bulletproof way of getting rid of this annoying bug..
(Or I'm just looking in the wrong places -or handling it like a noob. Could very well be. I've had that DS for barely a month now, but it caused me more than half this time period's nights to be totally sleepless, spending the night away tweaking it just right.. xD And now that I was reaching near perfection, this stupid bug pops out of its box ! )

I rooted my Slide back in Nov and have been running Cyanogen Mod since then,
and installed lots of apps.
I just flashed a new ROM (3rd Sense) - this is first time I've changed ROMs midstream. Before flashing, I backed up with ROM BackUp Manager and Titanium Backup Pro and I copied my entire SD card to my laptop just in case.
ROM is running great and my Google apps related stuff switched over perfectly. I logged into Market and some apps that I've bought were downloaded,but not all. I'm missing a lot of apps, including Titanium Backup Pro.
How do I get this stuff back? Have read lots of threads and forums (included the entire 40 page thread for 3rd Sense) before posting, but just don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance!
Rephrase: How To Fit Old BackUp
Okay, so I did more reading and realized I needed to go in and manually install Titanium Backup and then I did a a Restore Uninstalled Apps & Data BUT there's not nearly enough room for everything now.
I used Apps2SD but by moving everything I was permitted to, I still don't have nearly enough room for everything now - Titanium Backup didn't even restore everything bc there was no space. Don't know if the ROM is just so much bigger... Not clear if the space being eaten up is on SD or internal - feels like it's internal.
Old ROM: Cyanogen Mod 7.0
New ROM 3rd Sense
Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.
Like 3rd Sense - big issue for me is Bluetooth works with 3rd Sense and not with Cyanogen which was otherwise just great.
Thanks.
if you have a fast sd card on your phone, you can enable data2ext and get you more room for apps. 3rd sense comes with data2ext installed, but only do this if you have a class 6 sd card or above.
Thanks - I read about that - I don't have a class 6, but might get one. I have 2 questions:
1) is Apps2SD same as Data2Ext? B/c I was using that but it still didn't help.
2) Seems like there just isn't enough room to do a full Batch restore from TiBU - but wondering if the way to go is to restore a few apps at a time, then move to SD.
Finally - since you know this phone and the above ROM - please weigh in if you have a fav ROM for Slide that will let me use Bluetooth properly.
Thanks again.
Hi all, hope this is in the right section.
I rooted my Desire last night using unRevoked 3.3 with the intention of removing all the bloatware on my phone and forcing most of the apps onto the sd card.
My phone seems to have rooted fine, i have the Superuser Permissions application on there, and Titanium backup pro seems to be working too.
Now when i use Titanium backup to try and remove programs such as Stocks, News and Weather, News etc... I click on the app in the list, click un-install and then it tells me its uninstalled. However the apps still appear in my menu and are still there following a reboot. Ive also tried another method using Super Manager and that doesent seem to work either. The apps are still there following them being 'uninstalled'.
Also, similar situation with the SD card, i downloaded Move2SD enabler and that doesent seem to let me move certain apps like Maps, Facebook and others.
Any idea where im going wrong? Im on stock 2.2. My phone is in debug usb mode too.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
The apps you want to remove/move are system apps in stock roms. So you cannot do such things, because you are not s-off. But you might be able to do the things you want with adb:

Or just delete specified .apk's from the .zip file before flashing.

He did not flash a rom. He is just using stock rom. There is nothing to delete from a zip file, because there is no zip file he wants to flash.
Then what i suggest is flashing custom ROM and customize it just how you like, you wont need to S-OFF. (which is much more risky than flashing a ROM)
What i would also try is application called "SystemAppRemover", i'm using it for removing all the system bloatware which you mentioned, but im S-OFF so i cannot guarantee it will work.

Maybe he wants to stay with stock rom? If he wants to flash custom rom, I guess he would have asked for it.
To remove system apps in running system with an app, you have to be s-off.

It was just a clue, had nothing to do with knowledge.
Nevertheless, we should stop filling this thread with our senseless discussion.
haha thanks for the responses guys!
ive been looking at all the custom roms and whilst most of them look pretty cool, im quite happy with whats already on there at the moment, im just bored of seeing my phone telling me i dont have enough internal space etc... so i wanted to root and move as many apps onto the sd card as possible and delete all the unwanted stuff that im constantly closing in taskiller.
i did read something about putting the phone into s-off mode, i guess this is the way to go in regards to deleting the unwanted system apps?
also i believe that i cannot move facebook or google maps onto the sd card, am i correct?
Best option is flashing custom ROM, you could remove any apps you want from the flashable .zip file, and give you an unlimited storage for apps - A2SD. (well limited by SD Card capacity)
You can also S-OFF and remove apps you dont want, but it will barely help as you will probably still run with "low internal storage" errors at some point.
Also with stock ROM you are running, most apps wont be able to move onto SD anyways.
There are custom rom's based on Froyo 2.2 if you like it.
i guess i will look into flashing a ROM. i didnt really want to do that as i didnt want to have to reinstall everything etc... but i guess its the only way i will be satisifed lol.
Just make backup with Titanium Backup and then restore it.
I started this thread because of all the searching, i couldnt find an answer directly related to my phone and my specs. I currently downloaded RKings Random Phoenix. For the first time in life...i see ..."insuff space available"..i really would love to stick with this rom for a number of reasons..but i cant download from my sd card nor the market and yes...i have plenty space available on all levels. Please help for the answers i have searched are not working. Thanks in advance...<Rooted Epic...genocied 1.0 kernel...eco5...random phoenix rom>
I though phoenix was a GB rom, either way this has been seen plenty before, twice by me. Wat I did was wipe the sdcard and redo th rom install. I probably took the long safe way around though.
You probably are trying to redownload an app that you had before. Use Root Explorer to search your phone for any other files with that name in it. Say you are trying to reinstall the Youtube app, search your youtube and delete any other files you find, then download and install. Say it was the SPB 3D shell, search for SPB. You get the idea.
Thanks guys...thats what RandomKing said...i think i had..well i know i had..2 black markets...which left me with a regular new market...but hey...one step at a time..im content right now..but yall know i gotta get that black market back...my phone is all black eerthang...it just wouldn be right without it lol...thanks again doe!!!
Also guys...since i had 2 black markets...lets say...i go into es file explorer..system > app folder ...delete vending.apk...and insert the black market in there..reboot...shouldn i have the black market back and running with no problems?

Wi-Fi not working
Hello and thanks again for keeping our great ancient device alive I have, however, encountered one very unfortunate problem with the wi-fi, which connects to the wi-fi network but then there's no internet connection. I tried updating the radio to the newest version found here, I have tried installing Wifi Fixer and re-installing the ROM a couple times. On previous ROMs (stock CM 7.2 and Andromadus Mimicry (CM9.1)), the wi-fi worked just fine. Also the wi-fi router provides connection to other devices seamlessly. Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
EDIT: OK, to make sure, I flashed CM 7.2 again (both stable and latest nightly), only to find out that on this particular wi-fi network, internet connection doesn't work for my Desire Z so something's probably wrong with the router TP-Link TL-WR740N.
EDIT2: Connectify solved the problem so there's definitely something wrong with the router, even though it has the latest firmware. (And the strangest thing is that Connectify worked fine while sharing internet connection from the same router that didn't work with my Desire Z directly... WTF? )
Slow response and out of space (AlterNdromadus CM10.1)
Hi, I'm new to custom ROMs, and I'm certainly no developer, but I have been successfully running this one on my HTC Desire Z for about a month. It's been more or less fine but I have two issues:
1. My phone seems to be getting slower and slower to respond. Is that just because I'm an app addict and I have installed too much crap?
2. I'm getting the "out of space" error when I try to install or update apps, even though according to the DiskUsage app I'm using I have 110 MB free on internal storage. I have seen the fix of deleting the logs in /data/logs, but this directory does not exist on my phone! Where else should I look for old logs? What else can I try?

I use an appcache cleaner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache ) and also you might think about moving apps to the sdcard.

Well, I've tried both, and I currently have 126.9mb free in internal storage and 128.7mb free on the SD card. But I still get an "insufficient space" error when trying to update apps.
What is the underlying source of this problem? And what can I do about it? It seems odd that I can't update a 50kb app when I have 126mb free.
PS: apologies if this got posted twice; I thought I responded yesterday but I don't see the other post.

sorry out of thoughts....maybe a ROM reload.
I get that insufficient space error quite a bit - here are some things to try:
Uninstall updates for the Google Play Store through "Settings" --> "Apps" --> "All." I've had better luck with earlier versions of the Play Store, though very recent builds seem to be improving WRT this behavior.
I usually try to keep 140-180 MB free, which will be enough for most programs to update. Problematic ones are Swype, Swiftkey, Dropbox, and OneNote, which can be uninstalled and reinstalled with the later version if necessary.
I move plenty of stuff to SD with "DS app2SD Lite" and uninstall things like Talkback with "System Apps Remover (Root)." I also run "lagfix (fstrim) free" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en ) every now and again, which might help further.
As far as slowness - you can try tips mentioned a few pages back in the ROM threads for setting up internal swap with Turbo Boost ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 ) and misc scripts like Supercharger v6 which is also included in the more comprehensive "PurePerformance" mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ).
Some critical opinions on Supercharger: https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDodd/posts/3AaCammc2Jw
In any case, with a fast swap set up with Turbo Boost, you can reduce or disable ZRam entirely.

I also use Amazon services & appstore, which to my regret runs in the background always and won't hibernate. Appstore / Amazon store app / Amazon Music all churning away, sucking up my precious megs and mips and is the cause for some of my own hiccups.
I also occasionally boot to 4ext Recovery and run fsck over adb shell to try to fix filesystem errors for each block device that never seem to stop cropping up. I actually have to reformat cache as ext2, then ext4 again to clear some... but that's probably another issue.
Hope some of this helped.

*sigh* I thought you might say that...
At any rate I went ahead and cleared everything off the SD card (after backing up, of course), then I ran all of the formatting and clearing options in CWM a couple of times. I also messed around with the partition size options in CWM. I didn't take a note of what sizes I chose but I went with the middle of the range options.
After flashing everything again and restoring what I could, it all seems fine again. Perhaps I missed a step in cleaning up before switching from CM7 to this ROM and left too much old info hanging around, eating up space and confusing things? DiskUsage now reports 485mb free, even though I restored all of the apps except GOBackup. Maybe the backup files were being stored in the wrong place.
Hi,
Having one old D-Z on shelf and now got inspired to flash custom Rom in it and this AlterNdromadus 10.1 seems most interesting Rom on sight, there is only one problem; can't find any download link for Rom
Could someone post a link or direct me to right place?

Lock sdcard access through USB possible if phone is locked ?
Hi,
Firstly, thanks a lot for AlterNdromadus !
I just migrated from my old CM 7.0.3 to this latest AlterNdromadus and ... ok, I should have to update earlier
I also flashed the latest gapp-light, updated my radio to latest Europe one and fixed the GPS with the recommended tool (just in case due to radio update)
Everything is ok except one thing. I set a PIN on my phone but it is still possible to access sdcard through USB cable even if the telephone is locked.
For me, it's like a security hole even if the SD card is physically accessible.
After googling the problem :
- I tried to find a "charge only" option without success (settings ==> storage ==> menu ==> USB connection to computer (path "translated" from french))
- I tried to disable usb mass storage but at least one of the three options has to be selected in the menu : USB Mass storage, PTP or MTP.
Why it is possible to access the SD card even if the phone is locked ?
Is there a way to fix this ? or a workaround ?
Thanks
P.S. Yes, English is not my native language
There is already already a KitKat Rom for HTC Desire Z. Problem with Desire Z is, that the hardware performance comes to an end, what I read in that post, so that someone went back to your 4.2.2 version. This was my experience, too, with an optimized 2.3.5 ROM. Without freezing some system apps my configuration wouldn't work on that. I am happy to be able to run a Android 4 version on the Desire Z at all to be able to install apps working only on 4 onward.
Great Rom but touch screen problem
This rom is great, But has anyone experienced touch screen problem after installing it?
I have to frequently lock on and off when my screen seems to stop responding to my touch.
How to fix it please?
Yep -- I have exactly the same problem. But I have to say that this issue has appeared after a some month of using this ROM.
