Okay i have cyanogen mod 7 on my phone with a backup of my phone. i rooted with unrevoked, i have installed TB and i backed up all apps and data, i also have busy box. I moved TB to my sd card. and that is all i have moved over to the sd card.
I changed over to cyanogen mod 7 and it saves nothing, no contacts, no apps, when i install TB it always force closes before even starting. I get upset because i cannot use any of hte apps i have, and i cannot find the market on it to download it.
i tried to move busy box over to my sd card and cannot.. any help is great help! thanks!
Did you wipe data and cache when you flashed? It is normal that your phone will reset like this. Use Tom manager and run the fix permissions script then reboot to recovery ans wipe the dalvik cache and reboot from recovery. It will take a while to boot this time but once up again most fc. Issues should be resolved. I suggest you also make sure you downloaded CM's google apps and choose what google applications you want if you haven't done so. Once you setup your google account any apps purchased from market should install. Then anything that didn't restore use TB and install any other apps. I suggest only installing the apps and not the data since you transfered from a sense rom to cm. It could cause more fc.

When I do Rom Manager i click "Install Rom from SD Card" and then go to the rom download of CM7 and install it.. i checked both Backup Existing ROM and WIpe Data and Cache. The first time i did this i also downloaded google apps. which until you said that, i totally forgot i had done that (my bad).
How do i install google apps after I update to cm7? do i have to go into file explorer?
(sorry for the weird questions i have searched forever and cant find anything, but i probably missed this)
thank you for the super quick reply
Its a one time thing that starts after you set up your google account. It asks what apps to install like voice maps earth etc. To reinstall g apps you can use rom manager and choose install from SD choose the clockworkmod folder then download then goo-inside.me you should have the google apps zip there.
Upon reboot you should be prompted for what apps you want.
If you still have issues I suggesst you use rom manager and choose download rom then cm thencm7 rc2 make sure to do g apps and then just do the delete data and cache just remember choosing that wipes everything but to me it sounds like nothing is reinstalled so its not really an issue right now.
Good luck I'm out for the rest of the night. Hopefully you wont have anymore issues but otherwise I'm sure someone else will help you out.

Okay, i am able to boot into cm7 RC 1 which i have downloaded.. should i downlaod rc2?
After that I go to ROM manager and i do the fix, then install google apps. i have done with both none checked and the data and wipe checked.
without it went into a bootload, and would pop up a green android guy and it says click the android guy, i go to click it and it bootloads again.
with it, i actually got it to start up, when i went to unlock it, it went into the bootload again, and the green android guy comes up and says click, when i try, it bootloads again.
What am i doing wrong?
I attempted to install RC2, it sat at the loading screen for minutes with nothing happening.
So i went back to RC1, got it to install, fixed permissions, installed gapps, this gave me the market app, and a few others (no gmail) but when i started it up, the google apps never actaully ran, and none of those apps work. Also, i cannot get things like handcent or most of my other apps to work, but some apps do work.
I am pretty puzzled.
thanks!
Okay, so have you went to settings>accounts>add>google? And logged in with your GMail yet? If so you can goto market and search for Gmail and it should download. The "Google apps" did run if you got the Green Android Guy. All it is a script to kick off the download from the Market, so they won't install till you get your Google Account logged in.
Im sorry if i was unclear,
Yes, at one time when i would install gapps the green guy would pop up, but would restart every 2-3 seconds. I saw a post from a guy who had this happen, and he said to update to the newest gapps. So i upgraded to rc2, and i could not even get rc2 to boot, i waited well over 20 minutes on the boot screen, and it never once actaully went into a bootload where it kept restarting.
After that i went back to RC1, and installed the newest gapps. the problem that persisted was that after i installed gapps, the green guy never came up, but i noticed a few things were installed like market.
I tried to load market and it would not work (even after permissions fix) but i got TB running and added apps on there to see if they would work. I could not get apps such as Handcent or most other apps would not work, and i could never actually log into gmail even though i had tried.

a couple issues need to be addressed here. One you can't use HTC (Sense) apps with Cynaogen. In most instances Cyanogen has replaced them with an app that is similar and works for CM7. Otherwise you have to find something in the Market that you like to replace it.
The second issue is when you do a full wipe of the phone such as is required when installing CM7 all user data and apps are lost. What you end up with is basically a new phone as if it came out of the box for the first time. In most instances you will need to activate it and then put in your google account information. If you had google backup your apps they will download automatically once the phone is setup, which can be a pain and takes forever.
Also I personally don't use ROM Manager to install my ROMs, I do it through the recovery console. I do download the ROM (and gapps) with ROM Manager but cancel the install once its downloaded. I then move the ROM and gapps files from the clockwork folder on the sdcard out into the parent directory of the sdcard and install them from there.
I know i cant use the htc stuff, and i have figured out the contacts problems.
What i cannot get is first google apps to work, such as when i start up it either bootloads or the one time i did it and it just automatically added market and stuff.
I have never had to call vzw and redo anything.. so idk if i am just doing it wrong or what.
okay, in order to do this correctly, in the recovery mode do i do the wipe/factory restore to it to make it work correctly?
anyone? sorry i must be alot worse at this than i thought i was going to be.
Lol, we all have been noobs before, so don't worry too much if your still having trouble. So what are we trying to accomplish now? Factory reset with cm7 rc1 installed so you can start over?
It seems to me that you've been successful in getting cm7 installed just not up and running the way you want it. That and the fact that you lost all apps in the process right?

Some people have reported problems with ROM Manager not wiping the phone properly and thus not getting CM7 to run properly. I had this problem too. So I just installed it through recovery. Select the option "wipe data/factory reset" and that will wipe all the folders on your phone that need to be wiped. Then select "install zip from sdcard" and the option to "choose zip from sdcard" which will allow you to scroll down to the CM7 zip file stored on the sdcard (must be in root directory not clockwork folder). After flashing the ROM before rebooting also flash gapps doing the same install zip method then reboot. If this doesn't work something else is wrong.
Once you have a working copy of CM7 installed you don't need to wipe the phone to install newer versions of CM7. You can install right over the old one this way you lose no data. Some people recommend doing a dalvik cache wipe before updating but I don't and haven't had any problems.
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:

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.
So I was trying to downgrade my busybox to use the v6 Supercharger script. I had 1.19.3 installed. Was trying to go down to 1.18.3 I believe.
I used BusyBoxInstaller from the market to install the older one, and when it tried to download and install it said it didn't have the permissions and failed even though Superuser was allowing the app.
I figured it might of installed regardless so I went to ScriptManager and that wouldn't open, just FC. So I went back to BustBoxInstaller, and it started stating that my phone wasn't rooted and wouldn't open. I went to RootExplorer and that just hangs and then FC's. Restarted the phone, same issues. Tried a different busy box installer (BusyBox from the market) and it states some files are missing and it won't install either.
I used EsFile Explorer and I go into System/Xbin and it shows a busyBox file there, but I can't even mess with that. It can't be moved, renamed or anything. Not sure if it should even be messed with.
I tried searching this issue up around XDA, couldn't find anything similar.
Anyhow, did I just mess up pretty good and do I need to reflash my ROM? or is there a quick fix without all the mess?
I think I would reflash the ROM, then use the busybox installer on a fresh flash, before you restore anything, to install the version of busybox that you want
There are two busybox installers that I'm aware of, have you tried both? I prefer the newer one on the market - I think it's by jrummy. Also make sure the install location is correct.
If you've somehow reverted to s-on then the file won't install either. I doubt this is the case but I remember one case of someone having issues with something to do with a file in system and after trying everything they finally realized they were somehow s-on.

This is true quoted for truth!
I checked and I'm s-off. I used both busybox apps. The one from rummy won't even open. It states I'm not rooted and then closes. The other app (just called busybox) opens but when I hit install it basically states the same thing. I can't choose the install location on that one either. I saw something about pushing it with ABD tool. Just not at home to try that out. Thanks for the help guys. Probably gonna have to wipe and start over.

I have this same issue. Ever since the busybody updated I cannot do anything. I can't go into root explorer, install any apks will not connect to wifi or wimax
Want to point out a few things, if your running scripts use Busybox 1.18.2. Secondly, the app in the market, Busynox Installer works wonder, however, sometimes when you change the version number it doesn't stick. Today, I had to cycle through installing 1.18.2 four times until it stuck. After installing another version, use root check to verify the version of busybox installed before proceeding to using any scripts. Also, check with the rom your using and make sure theres no issues. Each rom behaves differently.

Thanks for the help. Again though I can't get into BusyBox Installer or BusyBox app (both from the market) So I really don't have a choice to get it to stick or to pick where it installs. I wound up having to just go back and recover off an old ROM backup I had.
I did try go back to 1.18.2 but BusyBox Installer (the one by Rummy) for some reason it wouldn't install. It kept saying that I didn't have permission and then another pop-up would come saying "superuser access permitted" or something like that. I hit install a few times, and kept getting the same error. I figured it was just a bug in the app. I tried going into the Script manager but it would FC without opening. I then tried going back into BusyBox installer which then claimed that I wasn't rooted (even though I show S-Off) and then would close. I then tried going into RootExplorer to delete the script thinking that might be the issue. Root Explorer would just hang. It'd stay on a black screen..say "this is taking longer then normal. Force close or wait" I hit wait 3 times, and no luck. Tried restarting multiple times, same issues.
Earlier today it stared effecting my connectivity or so I assume because all of a sudden I'd be roaming, the not, then I would be again..on and off all day. I never had that issue on that ROM before this whole busybox issue.
Anyhow. Again, I just reverted back to the old ROM I had and am going to sit on it for a bit.
Thanks to everyone for the help, ideas, tips, etc. It's greatly appreciated.
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.

I am having a very hard time finding which apps are causing this, and none were restored, all were installed totally fresh from market after fresh install of the ROM.

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!!
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?

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....
