Problem loading widgets after a reboot

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 ! )

[Q] Can install/update maximum of two apps at a time, then no more

Posted this thread a couple of days ago, kinda the same issues, kinda not. Enough that I think it warrants a new thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948712
I can install/update a maximum of two apps. After that any others that were downloading simultaneously will just get stuck in that un-cancelable "installing" state. If I only downloaded/updated two apps then no others will download update until I follow my "solution" on the thread mentioned above.
Any ideas?

backup your apps with titanium, try a new rom, see if another gives you problems, if it does then restore the one you have now, if its fixed with another rom then restore your backups and enjoy a new rom

I backup apps and data regularly with Titanium. I use the Stock 2.2, rooted, S-Off. "Try another rom" is not a solution.

Coupled with the issues you had on the other thread -- have you considered that you might have a problem with your SD card? If you remove the card entirely and try to install more than two or three applications, does it still occur? I think you also said something about having a large amount of programs already installed. I don't know if the large number of applications can cause any types of market issues.

SD card has been tested and tested again for errors and issues. There are none.
However you are correct about the removal of the sd card. I removed it and installed 5 apps in quick succession. All were downloading at the same time and installed without problems.
Also the issue I was having in the previous thread is back and the solution I posted no longer works.

That's really strange. I'd guess your phone doesn't like the card. Have you applied the SD card speed tweaks that have been going around? Maybe using different values may help.

Backup only the irreplaceable things from it sdcard (pics/video/music).
Try wiping it delvik cache. That helped me with installation issues.
Id also format it sdcard for safety.

Dalvik was wiped regularly as I was looking for a solution. Tried the backup and format earlier today as well.
Tried deleting the android.secure and no go also.

Have you tried wiping your cache, and clearing market cache and data from settings/applications?

If it works okay with your SD card removed, it's going to be an issue with the card, even if you haven't been able to find one otherwise. If you have another card around, try to put that one in and see if it works.

[Q] cleanGb update procedure

Hi,
Im running an MTD version of CleanGb for months now. I'm not sure if its 1.05 or 1.1 (the zip file on the sd card simply says CleanGB-MTD-1.zip).
Here is the problem: recently my phone has been acting up, eating battery, slowing down, etc. When I tried to power cycle it I either get stuck in a SAMSUNG reboot loop, or it goes to the CWM screen. I pulled the SD card thinking it maybe corrupt but it still took two battery pulls to get it to boot. I put the sdCard back in and have not been able to boot now.
So I'm not sure if the card is bad or something in the system is corrupt. I have not been able to load the GMAIL via the app store for a month or two now.
Anyway I was thinking of upgrading my CleanGB to see if that wipes over the issue. If I manual copy the latest 1.1.2 zip to my SD card (stick it in a PC and copy to /downloads) can I boot to CWM and do an "install from SD card? Will this wipe out my existing apps/data? I know I need to do the wipe cache/dalvik thing. I'm just no looking forward to entering all my email accounts, facebook, re-install apps,.....
Thanks
Jim M.

Only way to not keep the issues your having is to start over.

Edit : This was a little vague sorry.
You will want to download a new ROM if you like gingerbread i will suggest the Peoples ROM 2.2 you will want the MTD version as you are already on MTD. It should be the very first link in the thread Here: The Peoples ROM. Then use this process to install it.
WARNING: This will remove all data, including apps, text messages, contacts saved to the Phone and not Google. etc. So if you are fond of these titanium backup them but for the apps only restore the apps data that are absolutely necessary.
1. Reboot to recovery, either through the power menu option or powering off and holding the camera button, volume down, and Power button until the Sammy screen appears.
2. Once in recovery Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
3. Go into mounts and storage and Format /system
4. Go into advanced and Wipe Davlik Cache
5. Install Zip from SD card, then Choose Zip from SD card.
6. Find the "The-Peoples-ROM-2.2.zip" or whatever it is called.
7. Install it
8. When its finished Hit the back and reboot system now.
Once thats done go ahead and re-setup your phone.. you shouldnt run into any problems from here on out. Typically any problems you receive is from corrupt data.

Like I said, starting over is hopefully not the only option.
I actually got the phone to boot so I'm currently making a titatnium backup of everything to have just in case. I also stuck my sdcard into my PC and copied everything off it so I'm probably going to reformat the sdcard (in the phone) and then copy everything back.
Since GMAIL seems to be the only app with issues (not being able to download an update) updating to any new ROM should overwrite it.
The question still remains, if I update from cleanGB 1.05/1.1 to the latest will everything get wiped out or will only the system files get wiped?
thanks

If you want to be free from any problems.. the only way to go is to wipe clean and start fresh... but if you MUST you can wipe cache and Davlik and flash it... i dont recommend it but if you like to run into odd problems go ahead.

It's the only way to be sure otherwise you are going to waste days of chasing your bugs.
And you pressed "yes this is a question"
Guess which subforum it belongs in.

Sorry for posting in the wrong spot, I wasn't paying attention. I also see my last reply crossed paths with Uber's reply and edit update, so Uber,thanks for the info and suggestions. I've been working with computers for 30 years so I'm very familiar with the "format and re-install" option for fixing things. On the phone side I play around every 3 or 4 months so when something comes up I completely forget what I did last time, or the method has been updated 3 times.
So how do you power users handle this? I only have 47 apps installed according to app-store and if I lose my Angrybirds high score or my drawsomething count I'm not too heartbroken. But I have 3 email accounts, a dozen wi-fi networks entered, a Facebook account, A Google account, an Amazon account, ringtones, notification alerts, etc... To go back through and re-enter all this info is a real pain and takes time. I run Titanium backup but I think you can only safely restore app data, not system app data.
I've read some posts on these forums and I see people commenting "yeah i went to CM9 beta 3 last week, but came back to CleanGB for stability. I'm downloading peoples ROM right now to try for a bit but will switch to CM9 beta 4 as soon as its out". This means re-entering tons of passwords and setup info every week. Wither these guys have too much time or there is a better way.
Thanks again.
Jim M.

Use Titanium for your angry birds data. Google and Amazon are saved on their site. You can restore your wifi data to TPR from CleanGB. But you should set up your emails again because the FC09 version did not like older versions of data when I tried. Most everything else just restore apps not data. And us power users learn to delete apps we don't want and set up our emails pretty fast after the 20th wipe or so when making and testing a ROM...lol. I did CM9 clean the first time, contacts are on google anyway, and had it working pretty well in an hour then added apps as I needed them over a couple of days.

It's a good opportunity to clean house on useless apps. I basically did the same thing Kenny did when I moved to CM9, and it's amazing how much crap you don't bother reinstalling.

Very slow??

Hi guys,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 7, and it was going very slow. I decided to completely wipe the phone and SD card and start from scratch with Andromadus Mimicry ROM. It is much faster I find but I still get the random slowdowns.
My biggest problems seem to be with the Facebook app, it slows down the phone incredibly. even when you exit the app, unless you force close it, the whole phone goes to a crawl.
I also find even if I uninstall the facebook app, I get lots of random slowdowns, like random times during the day I'll go to read my SMS and it takes FOREVER to load (go sms app)
any ideas?

Are your partitions ext4? Did you debug and follow the steps in the Mimicry OP?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

4EXT is paid software eh? don't really want to pay for it if I can avoid it, any other way of checking??
Wheres the debug steps?

4ext is a free custom recovery, there is an app similar to rom manager that is a paid app. if you don't want to support the developer for whatever reason your choice, but you can still flash the 4ext recoverey via fastboot or a pc10img
can you get a logcat? if your slowdowns are easily duplicated then plug phone into computer, and run a logcat through adb when you are experiancing this
*facebook apps is terrible* (so is facebook)
study the op of mimcry, search the threads for similar problems.
just an fyi - mimcry is one of the best ics roms for the vision and if you are having strange slowdowns then either a bug needs to be reported or you did something wrong
(didn't fully wipe, still in ext3, etc)
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

thanks man, I tried android market and can only find a paid app called 4ext. I use clockworkmod recovery as thats what cyanogenmod 7 recommended, I have not activley done anything to setup ext4 though as there was nothing in mimcry instructions for this.
i cant easily duplicate the issue as it happens totally at random.
i fully wiped and reset to factory defaults before installing mimcry also

go into tsubus' ilwt cm7 thread, there you will find a link to superwipeg2+ext4, this will wipe all and change format of everything but sd card to ext4
don't check the market for custom recoveries, you go there for apps, look for the 4ext thread in the dev section or just google it

okay thanks for your help! i got 4ext installed and checked info, so my system partition is ext4, data and cache are ext3... sd card is fat32
so I need to wipe and redo it with ext4 for all of them?

all but sd card should be ext4
sd card should be fat32
sdext (if you have it) should be ext4

you're great help thanks heaps.
so now I've got 4ext and i ran superwipeg2+ext4, then reinstalled my mimcry rom, just reinstalling all my apps i want now, will see how it goes
checked info and everything is now ext4 apart from sd card which is fat32. hope this makes a good difference!

damnit, no improovement still slow as fawk, just started up endomondo and signed in, now have a black screen and a crashed phone for the last 5 mins... oh wait now it loaded... grr

Please read the FAQ in the Mimicry OP. You need to find the apps causing the slowdowns and either uninstall them or wipe their data if you're restoring app data from Titanium backup.

Install watchdog, or view wakelock use with betterbatterystats. Better yet, use logcat and grab a log of the slowdowns as they happen.

Thanks, I am happy to get a log using logcat, do you have some basic instructions for me to do this? I already have android SDK installed, is it a matter of just running adb logcat and waiting or?

Yep, though I would use Watchdog first to see if it alerts on any high cpu processes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Sounds good man, just installed watchdog and will see how it goes thanks for your advice

strangely enough watchdog has not found a single problem yet even though my phone keeps slowing down every now and then, seems to be slightly less frequent now after all the apps have settled in I guess? still certainly doing it though
also one other issue I found is a program I use called AirDroid stops working properly through its web interface if the phone locks, which I didnt have this problem on CM7

Mind if i but in, but this problem is discussed and handled well in the AOKP nik3rs rom EliteMod & EliteKernel ICS* (which I highley recommend!)
But Its seems one of the problems that can cause this is bcuz you some people still have there apps backed up from there GB rom with their account and switching to ICS rom will only install the GB forms of the app from the market its highley recommended to backup data from apps in Titanum, and Install all new apps to your account and then restore data from Titanium.
Also I have alsot noticed that in 4ext sometimes Superwipe isn't always the answer Try Using the "Format All (except SDCARD)" option in 4ext it seems to clear away alot more bugs then superwipe! hope that helps..
Also try elitemods dataswap and sdext patch if you stay on mimicry!

Thanks man might have to give that ROM a try. And once again I fully wiped and loaded the ROM and I installed each application freshly from the google play store. nothing was backed up or restored so thats not the problem

Maybe I should have been more clear in my last post, Are you using SD-EXT? or data swap? and The way I have to flash is sometimes is after dalvike/cache ofcourse
1- Factory/data reset
2.-Then apply the zip superwipe (let it reboot)
3.-Then apply the FORMAT ALL EXCEPT SDCARD option in 4ext
....and just to note you are mounting everything before you wipe right?
Hope this can help.
And if not I would again highly recommend the EliteMod Rom its the best!!

[Q] Help with adding lines to the build.prop

Can anyone explain to me why i lose my data connection and wifi when I add lines to the system/build.prop needed to support the Sony Walkman Xperia Z? The most puzzling thing to me is that for three weeks, over the course of more than 30 reinstalls of Blue Mynt, I added lines without any problems. I don't know what I'm doing any differently. It was almost routine. I had the walkman from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986599 with nearly every function working properly. Previously to the last few days I added the two following build properties from these two links without any problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 and the attachment somewhere below. (I can't find the link where I got it at.) I had the walkman installed and running with every function except sense me and visualizer.
Can somebody help me figure this out please? I've got this awesome Bleu Mynt ROM running flawlessly, and it's fast as all get out. It is by far the most superior ROM that I have experienced. I would love to get this walkman running again, and then quit messing with it. Lol I know somebody has the knowledge to get me going again. IF you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for reading this.

Not sure why your trying to apply it manually,it will be less painless to just flash it,wouldnt it?I just flashed Bleu Mynt and this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 ,the link is the 4th post down and it works flawlessly,i didnt do anything extra,but wipe cache and dalvik and flashed,then wiped cache and dalvik one more time for good measure.

You always come through with solid info. Thank you. I really appreciate it. I was going through all those troubles because the walkman doesn't like Mounts2sd. I'm gonna have to figure out how to move them where they belong, because it doesn't work once Mounts2sd takes over. I had been loading the ROM, SuperSu and busybox, Mounts2sd, Crossbreeder, then Gapps. All one at a time, in that order. The ROM was working fine, but the walkman wouldn't work. I could see the app icons in the apps manager, but they wouldn't start. Upon reading your post, I flashed the ROM and then the walkman and Hey, Hey!!! I have the absolute coolest ROM a man could want! I am so in love with this.... You could call it a ROMance! Haha... Thank you for helping me.

Okay, so I spend all day getting things organized and tested. Then I put the walkman together and got all the fc's worked out with sense me and the dnla. The download didn't work, but it wasn't flagging fc's every two minutes either. It's a common problem that the unlocked bootloader causes. Can't be fixed to work. After I got it all set up, I added the crossbreeder and Mounts2sd. No problem. The walkman still worked, along with the sony album and movie apps that I included from the same page. However, when I flashed gapps they didn't load. I can see them in the files, but they don't function. I tried to manually install them and they all fail to install. So I then go back and load up just the ROM, SuperSU, Crossbreeder, Mounts2sd, and Gapps: and It all works fine. There is some kind of conflict going on. I can't find any research material on this subject and I have no clue what to try next. I love a challenge, but damn... why is this proving to be so difficult. I could easily go to another ROM, but that won't work for me. (It's the ROMance I have with it. Haha...) I've tried many others and they don't measure up. I need Bleu Mynt with the Xperia Z. Right now my beloved ROM is working flawlessly, with the gapps, but no walkman or any components of it are installed. It's bumming me out dude. What can I try next? Where is the conflict arising?
EDIT-----> Status update: i just used the fixed permissions (smelkus 4.3) before I loaded the walkman, and after. The result was that the walkman loaded and functions and I still have my google play icon. However, when I innitiate it to take me to the store, it opens for half a second and shuts down. No message of any kind. It just stops. I also noticed that it "forgot" my wifi password. Have you dealt with this before?

Do this in this order: Do the wipe procedure,then install the rom and install Gapps immediately after,then reboot,set up Gapps and return to recovery and cache and dalvik wipe,then flash M2SD and wipe cache and dalvik again,reboot and install this: http://d-h.st/Dsl ,It will ask you to install busy box's latest update and install init.d support,if there is none and reboot,then wipe cache and dalvik again and install walkman app and wipe again,then reboot,you should be good to go,if not i have a solutuion for your sound problem.

I tried your method to a T. It wouldn't let me reconfigure the init.d script. So I went back to injecting SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE and I just ran into the same problems again. I'm thinking I have something corrupt injected into my smelkus recovery or my SD card. I can't flash a new recovery with PC36IMG, ADB shell, or FlashGUI. I have something on my SD card that I can't view or delete. I have no clue what it is, but I suspect that it is responsible for my problems. Do you know how I can rip my SD card back to absolute zero? I"ve tried everything; the partition choice in Smelkus recovery, Gparted, and Mini Partition Wizard . They format and show zero content, but when I partition to ext4 I have an extra hidden partition with 33MB of script show up out of nowhere at the beginning of my fat32. I'm certain that I picked up some B.S. by gettting apps from various non-market sources. I either lose my data connection or maybe sometimes keep it, but I have no phone Icon to start a phone call and no amount of re-installing apps will fix the problem. I've also ran the team dirt apps2sd removal zip and it says it took script off, but I still show the hidden partition with 33MB when I look at it on Mini Partition Wizard.

Sounds like your sd card could be corrupted,you might need to buy a new one.

Thats what I was thinking too. I just bought a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb card a couple hours ago at Wal-mart.. Hopefully all of my problems go away.

Okay, I've been trying to get this done on my own. It's proving to be a futile task. Lol... I can have gapps and no walkman, or I can have the walkman and no gapps. Ugh... It's killing me that I can't figure it out. What is your sound solution? For the past couple of days I've been fooling with other ROMs with not much better luck. Same problem. There is some kind of conflict and it's not my sd card. The same thing is happening with my new card. Please share your solution with me.

Honestly this is what i use.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293589 ,i dont like the walkman app.

I just checked out the link. Looks very interesting. What catches me is the studio quality sound. I'm into that aspect big time. I'll load it up and give you my thoughts. Thanks man. Looks like a great solution. I'm wondering why I never came across that in my search for other walkmans....
