Please advise (also my phone becomes normal after it fully installs)

this is ABSOLUTELY normal... i have CM7.1 and its the same thing...
the CPU gives all his power to install an app, or move it to SD card, to provide the fastest installation...
plus, if you are installing an app, you'll be in the installation screen, so you shouldn't do anything else while installing... if the installation slows to provide performance to other stuff, your thread title would be "installation painfully slow"

I'm running CM7 v1.0.1, I have just wiped my phone and performed a lean install, I did not have the below problem with the 7.1 RC.
My problem is, the moment all my apps are detected on my SD the phone freezes. I can't lock/unlock and the phone won't reboot (unless battery is removed). I'm guessing one of my apps gets upset because it's on the SD, so it freezes my phone. Anyway to know which app? Or do you know any other cause?
Thanks,
Unfortunately I don't think you can figure it out, but to stop it doing it and remove the apps from SD, delete the .Android folder from the SDcard.

Do you use SD booster ?
I followed the instructions to install supernova up to the point where you have to go in recovery and run Data2sdInstaller.zip. Pressing volume down + power button all of a sudden doesn’t work and just starts the phone normally. What happened and what do I do?
Also when I go to the SD & Phone Settings it says available internal storage only 34.7MB even though the total space of the sd card has been decreased by 1gb (I made the ext4 partition 1gb). Is this related to the previous problem?
Finally I am noticing that even though I click power off, the phone stars instantly once I press the power button again as if it was hibernating but NOT actually being turned off. Is this normal? Is there a way to change this so the phone actually shuts down?
Thanks
Uncheck fastboot. It's found under one of the options on settings. Just look for it. That will probably solve both issues you are having with having trouble accessing recovery and not shutting down completely.
About the space issue or something you are talking about, you have to flash that data2installer zip to make use of the partition you created.
Thank you very much. It finally worked 1000MB for apps now but a little slow. I guess I need a faster sd card than the one that came with the phone.
Another question. I used titanium to backup my apps, but now the market crashes everytime I need to run it.
Code:
The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
I googled it and found out people are saying you should change the language to English (US) which I have but it still crashes. What do I do?
I usually use Titanium to only restore my downloaded apps and never system apps. If I really have to restore system app, I usually restore just the data part. I never had issues with the Market that came with the rom although I believe it's still the old one?
ive been flashing some cm7 nightlies today and finally got on cm7.2. everything is running well, but it just reboots every time apps are loading from sd card.. normally i can use the phone when sd card isnt inserted, i really dont want to wipe it, is there any way to find out what app(it has to be something, because apps stop loading in the menu at some time, and then phone hangs up) is force closing everything?

Hmm... One of the reasons why a custom MTD Partition is needed. Apps on SD won't function like apps on the the internal memory. I have apps on my SD and rarely see FCs. I would advice you check your card if it is error free. Your phone shouldn't hang.
My apps have always worked perfect from SD ext, its probably a corrupt file on your SD card and could be anything not just an app, hook it up to a pc and do a disk check, see if that helps.

i did a backup with TB, wiped data, reflashed cm7. i wanted to check which programs cause everything to FC, so i installed games first - nothing happened. so i installed rest of the apps, i mean those:
flash player
ak notepad
antutu
camera360
real drums
drums hd
convertpad
dolphin browser
elixir

^ what app causes all the problems? maybe you guys know which one is this, i know i can still reinstall them, but im running out of time..
I need a bit of help guys, the thing is that I'm running Pac-Rom on my LG Nitro HD because I found it to be the most stable rom
after a long trial and error period as well bricking my phone many times. I have only 1 problem on this custom rom, my apps tend to disappear for
absolutely no reason whenever the phone turns off or reboots. I've been messing around for the past 3 days trying to figure out if it's some issue
with the encrypted .android.secure folder so I installed all apps onto the onboard internal storage and deleted the folder then tried replacing all the
apps back on the SDcard hoping that would work, and it didn't. Not all of my apps disappear though, some stay on the SDCard and work perfectly
fine but games over 20-30MB will disappear and I have no clue why. My next effort would be to format the entire SDCard again because I don't
understand why these apps keep disappearing Any ways I appreciate any help, I've been googling and lurking this forum for days now haven't found
anything but a terminal command that doesn't work for me :crying:
Wow this forum is really dead huh?
so,you try to install app to sdcard, and they will disappear?
if this is the case,then make sure you sdcard is not fake. i have seen cards formatted as 16gb, but actually is only 2gb

Nah it's not fake, I have tons of pictures, movies, and music on it as well I'm running Pac-ROM and it shows me the amount of my storage on the sdcard as well, it's just when I install the applications onto the sdcard and the phone restarts the apps I installed onto the sdcard just stay on my screen (if placed on) and when I go to tap on them it says "app not installed" :\
i've never heard of this but it sounds like some sort of bug caused the by reflashing of the partitions during reboot.
does the app get deleted from the sdcard or is the app still on the sdcard just not registered with phone?
if the app hasn't been physically deleted it's a rom issue, try the rom in my sig its based off stock but debloated with custom kernel, its very stable.
or if you have your heart set on the rom your already using, try redownloading and reflashing, don't just reflash your download file was probly corrupt. and i don't think these forums are that dead, this is just a bit of an odd issue that the average person doesn't want to guess at, i like guessing tho
if the app is physically deleted from the sdcard, i would try doing some malware/virus scans, because that would be really fishy.

Well I ended up getting frustrated and downloaded Titanium Backup Pro then moved all my apps onto the SD-Card which works wonders but I decided to change my rom because Pac was using 500mb+ of my ram for system rom memory rather than the normal 200mb since Pac is a hybrid of AOKP, Paranoid Android, and CM10.1 so now I'm happy I got past the SD Card apps not being installed but now I'm having this issue. Yet I cannot even post in the development section due to my posts...
Nevermind I still have the same problem even switching through roms, I'm now running HONO Full Throttle and I'm losing all my apps whenever I restart my phone and have them all on my SD card.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to all this "rooting" and "flashing" but I managed to HBOOT unlock and root my Wildfire S (GSM) and now I'm trying to find a stable ROM version.
Currently my phone has some pre-installed garbage from Vodafone like:
360 My Web
360 Shop
FaceBook
FaceBook for HTC Sense
Gmail
Google Maps
Music Shop
Peep
Qype
Since my phone is constantly full I decided to root my phone and install a custom or stock ROM. But my problem is I am not very familiar with all these different kinds of ROMs. I have done some research and I've come across the following ROMs:
Sense 2.1
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7.2 / CM7 NIGHTLY 2013)
CyanogenMod 9
CyanogenMod 10
CyanogenMod 10.1
I know there are plenty of threads with similar questions but they seem to be outdated to me and therefore I'd like to have some up-to-date info about this. I'm looking for a ROM with the least amount of bugs and possibly a little improved battery life. Currently thinking about Sense 2.1 or CyanogenMod 7.2 or CM7 Nightly 2013. I just want to install a clean ROM with Google Play and a few apps.
Could anyone help me? Thanks!
Hello. I flashed cm 10.1 to my gf's phone, but she seems not to be satisfited. I checked it than and it was pretty nice, some features might take a while but everything works fine after few seconds. Don't have much time for testing other roms, but as soon as possible ill let you know about progress. I hope my English is fine, apologizes otherwise

It sounds like you want CM7.2.
I have been testing different roms and all of them have some bug. I'm now down to two:
1. KitKat_CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525765
It is the only ROM I could achieve 2-3 days of battery life. Everything works, with every few bugs. It is very fast. Exactly what you are looking for.
2. Marvellous CM10 Reloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481155
This is Android 4.1.2 so it has more features, the interface is more polished, more apps work. It is fast enough for everyday use.
With any of them, you'll need to flash a Int2ExtV2 script after installation to trick the phone to use SD card instead of internal memory. Flash ROM, flash script, reboot, flash gapps. If you flash the gapps in the same session, your home button may not work.

Thanks for your input dawnckr! I'm currently using mod version: CyanogenMod-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel with kernel version: 2.6.35.13eoghan-cryptomilk-alquez-r1-g0bb9087-dirty and I like it except the battery life.
Thanks for the tip on using the SD card as main storage, I've read some articles about it and yes I'm having the same lack of storage . I think I will try out cm7.2 KitKat you were talking about and install everything in the right order.
Thanks again!
What apps would you recommend installing on my SD card? I have read that some apps might cause problems when installed in locations other than the internal memory.
The following apps I use regularly:
Google authenticator
Keypass
Youtube
Whatsapp
Gapps
Browser
Dropbox
Maybe some games when I have some storage left
Is it safe to say that all apps will work without any problems when installed on the SD card? I know the apps won't work when the phone is connected to the computer because the SD card will be used by the computer at that moment.

If you use CronMod-INT2EXTV+ , the phone will think it has very large internal memory. I had mine set to 2GB of internal storage. All apps will work. The down side is that you can't swap cards in and out - but if you use one fast and large card, you just leave it in the phone forever.
TO use Int2Ext, you need to format the card to two partitions 1) FAT32 2) Ext2 . You can do that from clockworkmode recovery or on a PC (microsd with adaptor plugged into the SD card slot). Download the script at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 Flash the script from recovery (you'll need a fresh installation of your ROM).
