i mean is there a benefit to doing it over the data part? only diff i'm aware of is that (in this case, street view) putting an app in the system bit means i can't update it and as i can't get adb working on my PC, then i have to :
backup all my apps, barr those in system, flash a new rom (but remove the apks from the zip file), then reinstall all apps again
i need google street view and since adb doesnt work, this is the only way that i know of how to do this.
They're put on /system/app as that's where they originally live...if it's an app from the Market it will update itself correctly
It's also a space thing as if they were all on /data/app then you'd eat up your space in no time (unless using A2SD)
umm, ok stupid queston, why is it then no matter whose rom i try (here or modaco), if an app is on /system it is never updated? i *always* get an error during installation
few weeks back, it was google maps, now it's the updated street view.
i've flashed a new rom now but removed street.apk from the zip and can now install just fine, and can update as needs be.
I dunno, I'm stock and just today had Flash and Maps update automatically
If your system apps won't update there's something wrong with your custom ROM.
it wouldn't just be me then though?
i'm using leedroids latest and that's not updating, same with opendesire earlier on, modaco ones etc etc
Are you wiping before you install the ROMs? I've never had a problem updating system apps via the market in my ROM.
of course. full wipe

just uninstall the app and re-install it from market
You can't if its on the system partition. Updates go on the /data/ partition, though...
Other way is to get the APK in question and install it using a file manager, it'll do the same thing
uninstalling also isn't allowed, neither is updating. it seems that once it's there, it's there.
now, i've got adb working and can list what's in system etc but it gave a read only error when i was trying to 'rm Street.apk'
remount didn't appear to be a valid option. alls working now anyways. just need to remember to remove certain apks from a zip before flashing.
funky
You *can* update system apps with market updates, as has been said before. The app remains on the system partition and the phone uses the data version instead. If it's not working for you I don't know why, but it's absolutely fine for me.
So what we need is a mod that will give you the option of replacing the system/app with updated market version, but replaces it on system and not data.

Well that's exactly what I do in mine. And I get those by updating the system app via the market.

Thats great for you, and i appreciate that you do that with your rom +mods, but it means relying on you. Would be good if android would have it as an inbuilt function.
But i guess with newer phones having increased internal storage + a2sd this won't be an issue for much longer.
It's never going to happen as part of standard Android, because the system partition is read only. Also the system has to be a set standard in order to allow upgrades to work.
Hello everyone.
I've recently switched to the Data++ Hboot with 10MB cache. Ever since then I haven't been able to download large apps from the Market.
I was wondering how to make the Market save the APK's on the SD Card instead of the cache partition. If I remember correctly this has been implemented in a number of ROMs, including the Oxygen ROM to name one. Where would I change that?
Sorry for deviating from the topic, but I have this strong urge to ask you this: How did you get 10MB cache with Data++? According to alpharev.nl, Data++ gives 5MB cache....
On a side note, I also have 10MB cache but my apps are installing fine (with a little help from A2SD).....how big are the apps you're trying to download? Maybe I haven't come across "big" ones yet...

Oh I see they've updated their website. I'm using an older version of Data++ (System 180M, Cache 10M, Data 261M). I still have the img plus a screenshot of the website to compare MD5, if you're interested.
Well, it was just a guess. Downloads to Angry Birds (both versions) and Rocket Bunnies are not working, to name a few. Since they're all over 10MB I assumed it was due to the smaller cache partition. I'm also using A2SD btw.
Hmmm,they are not too big then (was expecting 20+MB).....I just downloaded those two apps couple of hours ago on my one and it's running fine even though I've only got 10MB cache.
Normally you'd need a file manager (like the one with Titanium backup or root explorer) to do the job of moving .apk files to SD..these are normally stored in /data/app inside the internal memory and requires root access to get them...but the files must be downloaded in the first place.
Is your system up-to-date? I too had similar problems until I did a complete flash-over and updated everything.... unfortunately I didn't work out the cause of it

Oh I see, I was under the impression the apks get saved on the cache partition. In that case, I should look for the problem elsewhere. Yes, I'm running the latest Sense ROM (2.29 with the 5 ending), but modified to suit my needs. I guess it could be related to that.
More info about the 'non-downloading'. When I click on install in the Market, the download icon appears quickly in the notification bar and then quickly disappears. Was this the same problem you were having?
In short....yes...that was the main sympton I had....the download icon disappears quickly....and it only happened to some of the apps
Have you tried rebooting the phone?...

Yes, tried that. Also tried clearing the dalvik cache and cache but with no success. I have found this while looking for a solution on Google. Seems someone else is having the exact same problem.

Hmm, yea. The thing that's really frustrating is I still don't know what the problem was in my case..if I did I could've been a little bit more helpful. In my "rage" I just flashed a new kernel and a new ROM and that sorted out the problem for me....didn't stop to wonder what was actually causing it.
EDIT: I think changing the kernel, especially, did it for me...
Hmm…
I have the same problem (except my /cache is 3MB so I can't download files larger than that).
Funny though, it used to work just fine (I have Angry Birds and flash for example), it has only recently started to act up.
If anyone finds a solution (possibly without flashing), I'll be quite grateful
P.S.
When my download fails (downloading icon simply disappears), my logcat shows DownloadManager reporting that there is not enough space (with about 60MB on /data) and then Vending complains about the file not being found (because DownloadManager didn't download it).
Seems like a bug in DownloadManager to me. It probably doesn't look up the cache (mine is in /data/cache IIRC) but uses the free space on /cache to determine if there is enough to fit the .apk.
I'm now working on same think. Need to Market downloading apps to SD card instead of /cache. So is there any tweak for this?
Yep.
Requires a little bit of knowledge about how linux handles mount points.
Basically, the easiest way is to bind mount a folder on the sdcard/data to /cache.
I get this .. I just clear the market cache ... go back into the market , all fine .
I normally have to " download " stuff 3 times , before it installs.
[Q] "UIDs are inconsistent", most apps are FC'ing -> Can't Download from Market
So yesterday I ran your run-of-the-mill market search for updates, "update all", phone back in pocket while downloading.. when I pull it out, it's frozen up completely. I leave it for half an hour before pulling the battery, but on booting, the updates start again, and sure enough before long the damn thing freezes up. I try this again a couple of times before clearing all data of the Market and Download Manager apps. Woohoo, seems to prevent the downloads automatically starting, and thus in the short term my phone works. I'll sort out the problem app in the morning (ROM Manager seems to want to go to 4.x from 3.0.2.4, and it's by far the most system-nosy app on the update list, so I'm eyeing it with suspicion).
Morning comes, quick check on facebook and xda in the morning, seems fine. Phone in pocket. Next time I take it out, the bastard's frozen and needs a battery pull again. Swearing a bit by now, I see with some anxiety that when it finally boots, it's throwing something about "UIDs are inconsistent. You should wipe /data." Ohhh dear. Interestingly (and adding to my stress levels), it seems to have started the Sense launcher instead of Launcher Pro, and I'm getting "Swype has FC'd" errors every half a minute or so, on top of the fifteen or so FC messages for various apps after dismissing the UID error. Thank god for the hardware keyboard.
Having a look around on the net, there's a few references to a file called 'uiderrors.txt'. I've taken a look in this, and it seems to have every single app (i.e. everything listed in the All tab in Manage Applications) listed with a mismatched UID.
Any ideas? I suppose the next step is formatting the SD card, but I was wondering if anyone knows what's actually gone wrong here before I start down the path of blindly resetting things in the hope that something will work.
Virtuous 1.02 with the Standard (not Stock) kernel, on an Indian model Desire Z.
Hello... Okay first thing is wipe everything. Then reflash the Rom. If that doesn't work download a different Rom and redownload the Rom you were using. After you flash back try to fix permission. Don't format your SD card yet, let's do that if the wiping and reflashing doesn't work.

Sorry double post.
Thanks for the reply. I first formatted /data with CWM; on rebooting everything was nice and factory-like, but for the fact that nothing could install from market. After trying various fiddling around to make it work, I gave up and re-flashed Virtuous 1.02 (clearing cache and /data) - but still I can't get market installations to work. It eveidently worked for a while, because this time it managed to automatically re-install most apps from my Google account, but now I get "download was unsuccesful" for everything; paid and free. I've tried downloading on both wifi and 3G, uninstalling market upgrades, clearing cache and data for Market, Market Updater, and Download Manager, using ROM Manager to fix permissions, renaming /sdcard/.android_secure, unmouting SD card completely, and rebooting after each of these steps (except the SD card unmount obviously). I only have my primary Google account set up at the moment to try and eliminate any issues with my secondary account (which is a Google Apps email address). Now I'm at a bit of a loss. Does the download manager keep a log of the actual errors encountered?

Well try to download a different rom and flash it, try to download something not sense. I had that annoying issue before... Backup everything on your sd card and format it using clock work or go on the setting and format the sdcard there.

Why would formatting the SD card work if downloading fails even if the card is unmounted? Thanks for the reply though

Because sometimes the sd card can be corrupted and when you download stuff from the android market you will get an unsuccessful or your app says its downloading but never installs. When you restore the sdcard to its original factory it should work again. Well thats just me i guess. but i hope everything goes well my friend

i am having the same problem, i am about to lose my mind.
same issue here cant install anything on any rom
I just ran into this issue today. Anyone know if formatting the sd card actually worked? Backing up 7 gigs of whatever is on my phone is just gonna take too long. I don't wanna do it unless I really have to.
I've wiped multiple times and tried several roms, and I've even checked the rils on my radio and fixed permissions. The whole 9 yards.
Edit:i give up ._. im gonna try formatting it. are any folders on the sd card necessary to keep in order for the phone to function or keep it's root? if not, im only going to keep my music and clockworkmod folders.
had same problem, but a full wipe and clean install helped.
Hi,
First i will say thanks for the great rom, i will try it asap (a little bit more stable)
i read about this rom in the topic since it was started .
i have some Questions, it will be my first "clean" Android (without Sense)
There should be a installer after first start of the rom after flash? Where can i found more information about the things i can chose?
Evervolv toolbox, is that an addtional Settings Dialog with more Options or still a app which can be used as "standalone"
(sorry for the bad english)
When you install it you will get some options to choose a launcher and a2sd-script.
On first start you won't get the app to set your g-acc and so on, you'll have to do that in the system settings.
And the Evervolv-Toolbox are additional settings the this rom it's not a standalone app.
Hope this helps
grtz
Please note that Sandvold ICS v. 0.4.2.1 has some stability problems at the moment. Many people experience "black screen of death", device fails to turn on screen after a period of inactivity, battery has to be removed to reboot. I found that raising the minimum CPU speed from 245mhz to 384mhz completely removes this problem. With this small tweak the rom is great! You *should* be able to change this setting with Evervolv toolbox, sadly it does not work. For some reason the toolbox runs with insufficient rights to tweak cpu speed, I did my own scripts to set cpu speed from the console instead.

App space problem
Hello - some help for a newbie please (well Desire newbie)...
I did try reading though Sandvolds thread, and I have tried to remedy, but I don't seem to get much further ....
I am running an ICS beta on my tablet, so I thought it would be interesting to try it on my Desire too. On the tablet there is more memory, so I have never experienced space problems with apps.
I rooted the Desire OK - and flashed 0.4.2.1 ... ran fairly smoothly, but hit space problems when trying to load up some of my favourite apps. I have a 16gb sd card. I downloaded apps2sd from the market - and moved some of the apps. However still not able to update some system apps from the market due to insufficient space (even though there appears to be enough).
Reading the other thread, I have gathered some/little understanding... and so before flashing 0.4.4 I reformatted my SD card from recovery choosing the largest ext4 that I could.
I was then ready to go to try 0.4.4.
On trying the Amarullz script and Nova launcher - I was having lots of lag after boot and I kept getting prompted to enter PIN number and reboot the phone. (I had done a factory wipe and cleared Dalvik after flashing the ROM).
I then reflashed choose Apex launcher, stock Kernal and data2sd option.
I wiped after flashing, did a few waits and reboots - as others recommended this.
Now seems to run quite smoothly, I have added back a bunch of apps via Titanium Backup ... but I don't see any apps 'automatically' being moved to sd card. I have moved as many as I can manually.
But I can also see that I am going to run out of space again soon ....
If I look in the settings at storage I see...
Internal storage - Apps 104MB Available 26.86MB
SD Card - Apps 239MB
Am I doing anything wrong?

1). www.revolutionary.io use this
2). www.alpharev.com download cm7r2.img
3). flash the hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
4). re-flash 4.4 and choose stock a2sd
5. enable a2sd
Code:
su
a2sd install
#choose settings#
Thanks for quick response..... I have a fee more questions....
I originally rooted my Desire via revolutionary .... do I need to do it again?
I guess I then flash the zip file.
The fastboot command - can I do this from the terminal app?
hi,
fastboot command and adb must be running from computer.
you need to instal sdk android sdk android
if you run revolutionary, u don t need to do once again but to flash an hboot you must be Soffed.
dunno if revolutionary does the job... i used alpharev to do son gain S-offed and able to flash hboot from fastboot command.
I saw the option to install agps in the installer but i chose gps. How can i add the agps when i already installed the rom? Because getting gps fix in navigation is taking way to long, so long that i abort it while trying

where have my apps gone?
So I can't get cm7r2 to work, so I reflashed hboot back to standard, I then reflashed 0.4.4 choosing stock a2sd. I installed a2sd via terminal and moved cache too. After reboot I installed a bunch of apps .... and eventually ran out of space - as if apps not being moved.
I then rebooted, and all of the apps except the paid apps have gone. I installed a couple of apps from the. Market and they have also gone after reboot.
I turned a2sd off, then I was able to keep apps over a reboot ..... but I would like to get a2sd working.
Any ideas?
For now I am manually moving apps to SD card.
Sorry for this question...

Did you do a wipe after flashing the rom? I had a similar problem when doing that. CWM Recovery also deletes the sd-ext partition, and as on cm7r2 there are also system apps on sd-ext, they are gone.
With the included a2sd apps should be moved to sd-ext automatically. It is not shown on the phone.
How big is your ext4 partition? And did you create it with CWM Recovery? If so, try recreating with gPartEd.

This.

I created the extra partition via CWM recovery - maybe too large as I made it 4gb.
I wiped the device and Dalvik cache after flashing the ROM.
I then set a2sd via terminal and allowed reboot.
I then downloaded apps (or restored via Titanium)
Eventually ran out of space when downloading apps - so they were not being moved.
Apps run OK.
When I did a normal reboot - the apps 'disappeared '.
Reading Bortaks debug guide the only thing I can see that looks relevant is to try reformatting the SC card with 2 primary partitions.
Read what i wrote? Do the following:
1) Recreate the partitions on your sdcard using GParted
2) Do a full wipe BEFORE flashing.
3) Re-flash the rom and select stock a2sd
4) Do NOT wipe again
4) Reboot, start Terminal emulator, set up a2sd
5) See if apps stay
On my first try I selected stock A2SD and set it up as explained using the terminal. (using a 2GB ext3 partition, placed after FAT32)
I rebooted and everything seemed fine, and I installed several apps. After a while, though, I got the "insufficient storage" error whenever I tried to install something. In the application manager the internal memory available had a large negative value.
I then wiped everything, reformated the 2GB ext3 partition to ext4, using "Minitool parition wizard" and reinstalled the Sandvold ICS ROM with Amarullz. Everything seems fine, and it shows 2GB internal memory. However, I've noticed that the ROM gets more unstable the more apps I install (it shows 500MB installed apps now, after removing around 50MB)...
Most of the time what happens is that system apps start crashing (Google Music, Dialler, Contacts, etc.) out of nowhere. After a while normal apps crash on execution as well. Google music is useless, as it crashes after a few songs and brings down the whole phone. Other music apps don't have this problem.
Am I doing anything wrong with the way I set up Amarullz? Should I retry stock A2SD with ext4?
I'm using stock HBOOT, Nova launcher and stock kernel.
Got there ..... but.....
After repartitioning my SD card for the third time ... I finally have this working.
Thanks to all for help/advice ..... but (isn't there always a but) ....
Downloads from the Market/Play are extremely slow maybe 5+ times the same apps took before .... I have tried on different WiFi connections - still the same.
Is this a consequence of the write speed of my SD card (it is only class 4) ... I did see a post in another thread where a class 4 wasn't recommended, but this was refuted by others using a class 4 card.
Otherwise all apps seem to be running OK, with no real loss of performance.
I guess once I have finally loaded up on all the apps I want, the Play updates will be more infrequent and less of an issue.
Hello guy's,
I'm new to the rooting business, and i've unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM for my Wildfire S(Marvel),
I have a quite few problems(bugs), in these few weeks of using it:
1. SU binary wont work besides the 2.3.1-ef version, and i've tried updating it through SuperUser, and flashing the binary through the CWM.
After the restart, all aps lose root access becoming unusable, not accepting or prompting for privileges. I've tried multiple ROM's and the SU Update fixer from the market...nothing has worked...
2. CWM(although re-flashed) wont backup my data(gets stuck at: error while making a backup image of /sd-ext). I am using an ext2 1gb 2nd partition for my apps.
3. The phone freezes at random(usually when some app is opened). I am using Stock ROM currently, flashed with Dust 9.0 and updated adreno 200 libs. I've scored 2000 on the antutu benchmark(without any bugs whatsoever). Im using smartassv2/noop on 400mhz/768mhz.
4. The internal storage of the phone(/user) jumps from 100mb to 70mb(even to 20mb), even if there are no apps installed, and the current apps are linked to sd-ext via Link2SD.
5.The phone keeps syncing at random, and lasts until i manually cancel it. It really isnt doing anything, just sits there...and when i manually sync it, it doesn't take as that long to finish...
Hope someone can tell my why my phone if full of gremlin's...
EDIT: Im testing CM10 and none of these bugs have appeared(except for CWM theoretically)

1. Try SuperSU, uninstall superuser, install supersu from market and update. I never had such problem.
2. A pretty common problem. Maybe ext2 is to be blamed? I use ext4 and it worked for me..
3. Dust kernel had a problem of random freezes. try cake kernel, Set minimum frequency to 245 Mhz for less battery drain.
4. Link2sd doesn't link data files. Also mostly the cache is stored in internal memory. Clear cache and reboot. When rebooting it'll link library files which can free up some space.
5. There are many things that need syncing in our phone. For example: calendar, contacts, whats app, bla bla. Don't get bothered by syncing sign. Its just doing its job. I examined the data usage when it was sycing and its not more than 5 kb/ps. so I guess it is meant to be slow to allow free browsing and usage of data for other apps.

Thanks for the reply
1. SuperSU starts looping while updating the su binary, especially after superuser tries to update it. If its clean then it gives me this error: "there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!"
2. It has been backuping perfectly until yesterday...i just cant see why this could be a problem all so sudden...ill try to experiment with ext4 as soon as im finished testing CM10
3. I'll try Cake kernel then
4. Really weird with those jumps, sometime its jumps from 77 to 100mb and freezes...
5. I understand, but its really weird that there is no animated sync icon in any tasks it should sync...everything is blank yet it still standing
EDIT:
Did a full format, reflashed adreno 200 libs and Cake kernel...no dice...stuck on a reboot cycle at random times
Reformatted and repartitioned the sdcard and sd-ext to see weather the backup could work
Reflashed CWM
I'll update as soon as i get a working ROM
EDIT2: None of the custom ROM's work...freezes the phone in the middle of the setup or begins a reboot loop(although i wiped it)
Stock rom boots, but SuperUser or SuperSU dont insert the su binary, thus acting like its never been rooted at all...
It seems that my phone wont simply become normally rooted at all and there is no help
Does anyone have the original recovery.img?
The one with the memory optimizer from 2.26 ruu?
I would like to revert my phone back to stock since it wont cooperate...
(sry for double posting)
EDIT: Found it in the RUU's zip(i would delete my post but i cant)
