[Q] Incredible running CM7.2 "Low on space" message - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Incredible running CM7.2 keeps showing a warning in the notification bar that says "Low on space". I don't understand it, because when I click on the notification, it goes to the manage applications screen, which indicates that there are 207MB used with 541MB free internal storage, and 156MB used with 184MB free RAM.
This "Low on space" message is what prompted me to root and install CM7.2 in the first place.
Can anybody explain this to me, and give suggestions on how to fix it?

Well, I didn't, but I thought CM7.2 was supposed to fix that issue, and therefore, the problem was being caused by something else. Was I wrong?

what ROM are you running? I have found out that the Touch of Blue ROM integrates this fix already but my understanding is that others do not.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using CM7.2 (CyanogenMod 7.2).
Are you using Touch Of Blue V2.2 available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492720 ? Have you noticed anything not working properly with Touch Of Blue?
Does anybody else know of any other ROM that fixes this issue with the Incredible? Thanks!

its not the rom that fixes the issue, it;s the ext4 conversion and moving the data partition mod. you might be able to apply it using CWM to your installation without changing the ROM. I only mention that one because it had the fix integrated into it.
i tested it out and it worked okay but I switched to a CM10 Rom because I was still getting the dreaded 2am reboot issue. So I switched to the CM10 Rom in hopes of solving that issue.

Yes and also this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623038 which is the main thread for the no_data_limit mods. The thread you posted is more of a guide for people who arent rooted.
The no data limit mods are very simple to use. They are just a zip file like a rom or any other mod, that you flash thru recovery. The mod then does all the work for you. Just remember to do a backup before flashing, just in case.

Thanks for all of the help everyone has provided so far!
Would it be best to start with Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip?
In what scenario would Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_dalvik_moved.v2.0.zip be used?
(The above files are at http://goo.im/devs/tiny4579/mods )

No data limit normal dalvik is the most commonly used. It converts /cache and /data to ext4 from ext3, moves the /datadata partition to a folder on the /data partition, leaves dalvik as is.
The dalvik moved mod does the same thing except it takes the dalvik cache, and moves it to the now empty /datadata partition. This one has been known to cause issues for some people with a lot of apps, as it fills up the now tiny dalvik partition messing with and slowing down apps.
So yeah use the no data limit normal dalvik.

Ok. One final question, I hope, and I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but will flashing Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip cause me to have to reinstall all of my apps and redo the OTA (*22890) programming?

No it it wont, at least its not ment to. Like i said make sure you do a backup first. I have seen a few issues where apps dont get moved correctly, but its rare. As to the ota programing definitley wont have to do that.

No problem. You should be good to go then.

If I decide later to try the "dalvik_moved" version, would I be able to flash it over the "normal" version? Or would I first have to use one of the other files at http://goo.im/devs/tiny4579/mods ?

Just flash it over. If you want to undo the dalvik move after you try it, there is a file for that the dalvik moved revert.

It seems to have fixed it. Of course, my internal storage has been reduced to 411MB from the original 541MB because the app data, which was previously in the 149MB app data storage partition, is now using space in internal storage.
I'm now debating whether or not to try the "dalvik_moved" version of the mod so that the 149MB partition isn't just wasted space. My dalvik-cache is currently at 133MB, so I'm not sure. If anybody has any thoughts on this, I'd appreciate the input!

You can try it, but if you run out of space for dalvik it may make apps go slower. You can always revert it if you het issues.

Help Flashing Sense 3.0 Roms

Hello I have been having issues flashing any sense 3.0 roms on my phone. Other roms flash perfectly fine including gb roms. I am currently running INfected Inspire 4g and ran Mikfroyo prior to that as well as many more froyo roms. I have a version 002 Evo purchased on launch day. I am fully rooted using Amon Ra's latest recovery. The roms flash perfectly fine but I get an infinite boot loop on the white "HTC Evo 4g" screen. I have tried superwipe and have used it 3x prior to flashing a rom, I have the latest radio, pri etc. I have also tried flashing with a downgraded 1.7 pri. I have "double flashed" the roms. All with no luck. I still get the bootloop. Is there any fix or ideas how to resolve this issue I would really love to use some of the newer GB roms.
Here is a list of Roms that give the bootloop after flashing:
Dominus_Zeta
Virusrom Kingdom Revolution
B.O.S. Kingdom port r2
Misfits speedy port
Virusrom gingersense
Evolved Rom shifted "Get abducted"
There may be one or two more but there are enough there to find a common denominator. If there is any way that this can be fixed I would be greatly appreciative. Also I will be subscribed to this thread and have xda sent to my phone so most of the time I will reply very soon to answer any questions to help solve the issue. A huge thank you in advance to any one willing to offer a helping hand.
i believe you need to partition the sdcard to make enough space for the /system. yes, some /system will be on your sdcard.

I have the same hardware, launch day 0002 hardware, I recently started using Virus Kingdom ROM, the latest version from his website. When I was first messing with it I would have problems with the white EVO screen not going away, I would have to pull the battery and get back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and make sure to select shut down phone instead of reboot.
Hope that helps!

[UTILITY] HellFire Kindle Nullifier 1.0

this is made by Volk released by me with his permission
The Nullifier.
This uses a special command in combination with a special file to overwrite the internal partitions with 0's, hence "Null" for 0 and "-ifier" for the fact that it does something. It also formats *all* the partitions afterward and *new* checks for, and repairs any errors on them.
Some brief need to knows:
1. This is a little lengthy process so please bear with it. The longest wipe is on /data which will take about 7 minutes. Obviously, make sure you have plenty of battery life before running it or are charging.
2. You *must not* power off your tablet without first installing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid after you use this. See post here:
3. I will provide help, support, etc., but I am not, nor is anyone else involved with this, responsible for any problems you may have in the extremely unlikely event that you do.
Folder:
http://www.mediafire.com/?unsvbx50wt3hh13
Q: Why not just format everything?
A: Because a format isn't intended to erase data, though to a degree does so. This script is intended and will wipe out the data and leave a clean set of partitions for a ROM to be installed to.
Q: (Submitted by Cargohook) Would it be idiotic or fruitless to run this and then restore a nandroid backup? I mean, would that defeat the purpose?
A: I highly doubt it would be a waste of your time. On an educated hunch, when you restore a nandroid all CWM does is format the partitions then load the data from the nandroid to those partitions; back to square 1 with old data being left behind.
Q: Why don't I get a message about formatting /boot?
A: Because it doesn't format /boot. Why? In testing I found that it doesn't need it. It's all a matter of how Android uses boot.img and how it's copied.
Q: Does this wipe Dlavik?
A: Technically. Dalvik is contained within /cache which gets Nullified so, yes. And see the following post regarding not needing to wipe the Dalvik on top of wiping /cache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1564287
Q: Does this wipe internal or external SD? (added because it keeps getting asked)
A: In a word, no.
Q: Will using this cause nand-failure or make my phone unusable if used too much?
A: In my opinion, no. In other's, yes. To give you a better answer, please see Overground's post on that subject here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=327
(Thanks for the objective opinion overground)
reserved for later
I'll give it a shot. Sounds like a good deal for a clean install.

If anyone runs this and has errors please make sure to get the log and either post it or copy the info on it... We wont be guessing as to the error and gotta have specifics to get great resolution. Please and thank you.

I'd like to restate this btw:

OK when I get some time later I'll test it with twrp.
Edit: testing with twrp now, I'll post back battery % used and total time spent nullifying when it completes. Dual wipe, so just half it for a single pass.
Edit 2: here's my findings using dual pass on twrp:
Starting battery 81% at 11:31am
Dual wipe end 77% 11:46am
Install hfks
After flash 76% 11:47am
Reboot
75% 11:51am at system start
Using this information you should get an idea of how much battery is minimum required for nullifying and flashing a rom then rebooting into the system. Works perfectly fine with twrp, so twrp and cwm users rejoice, we have nullifire for the KF! Thanks to Volk and hell for releasing this tool.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but I've never used a script through twrp. How do you do it? I usually just run scripts with from toolbox but don't want to try and have it get screwed. Thanks a lot, I know its probably really simple, just wanted some steps to do it.
Nick B
Its the same as flashing a rom, just pick the nullifier zip instead of a rom. I'm working on a video to show the process in twrp, but for now here goes....
Boot into your recovery ( twrp or cwm doesn't matter), pick install zip from SD card, go to where you have the nullifire.zip, select it, and hit flash. After its done be sure to restore a nandroid or flash a rom, never power down or reboot without one or the other being done first! Also make sure to have 30% or more battery, or be plugged in before starting.

its simple. Download the script. then reboot into twrp or cwm then install the script.. once its done then install your chosen rom... wait for it to be done. fix permissions then reboot and enjoy.. super simple and super cool..

No biggy, I think its a little confusing as its referred to as a script, and generally those are in a zip file, extracted, then run in system, not flashed through recovery.

The concept to its use is to minimize bugs caused by left over data. The wipe process of cwm and twrp is a format, it deletes the arrows pointing to where data is, but the data remains intact. It allows the system to overwrite the data. Nullifier overwrites the data itself with zeros, making it so no leftover data is there to cause problems later, then formats afterwards for rom use. Essentially leaving a blank slate to read and write from without worries of old data creeping in.

Yeah, after your new ROM is installed, go into the android system properties under storage and you'll notice that you're usb partition isn't completely empty, so erase all that. This way when you install gapps it's fresh.

Having to wait 5 minutes before I can edit or post is annoying....
I wanted to mention earlier to also make sure you're using the GAPPS version that was recommended with your ROM. You probably got the GAPPs from a link in the same thread where you got your ROM, but wanted to mention in it just in case you didn't.

Maybe you think I told him to wipe SD from twrp. Which is not something i said to do. Assuming he doesn't need to back anything up, what could it hurt to erase the usb storage from the storage properties?
I did it myself an hour ago after I installed JellyBean. I'm pretty sure you're wrong when you say its unnecessary. But either way, I wasn't going to take any chances with having some old shared resources screw up a fresh install.
Erasing usb storage and wiping your sdcard are one and the same a completely unecessary step. the only wipes you need to perform on a regular basis when changing a system is factory reset, cache, dalvik, and system unless there happens to be something wrong with the sdcard itself and Im pretty sure your wrong about it being a needed step someone correct me if Im wrong....

You are making several incorrect assumptions and using them as a basis for your suggestion. That's what makes it wrong. Although it is true that no real harm would be done by wiping out the /sdcard storage space, it is in fact unnecessary. Apps installed by the user get placed in /data along with all of their settings and other files they needs to operate. The /sdcard is used to store files like audio, video, books, etc. Wiping /sdcard before or after installing gapps won't make it any more "fresh" than it would be otherwise.
I've been around this forum for a while and you are the first one I can remember to advocate wiping /sdcard after a flash. While your suggestion for the OP to make sure the right gapps package for the ROM gets flashed is appropriate, I'm going to say you are off the mark with this one. It's not going to come into play when troubleshooting the youtube issue.
Please end this little side discussion as it's not pertinent to the OP.
EDIT: To the OP - I don't remember which ROM it was, but I thought I read about some video problems in one of these. Have you checked the thread to see if others are having similar problems?

[Q] Having problems upgrading roms

Any time I try to flash a rom or anything I keep getting this message: E:/error opening '/data/lost+found'
I've tried flashing different roms but it hasn't helped.
I'm having this weird problem where when I flash a new rom about 20 random apps are transferred over to the new rom. (like random games and apps)
Also every time I uninstall any app I get "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but this just concerns me.
Could anyone help me out? I just want to do a fresh install of liquid smooth.

Also every time I uninstall any app I get "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but this just concerns me.
Could anyone help me out? I just want to do a fresh install of liquid smooth.

I found this in the Nexus 4 forum-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147501. Sounds like the same issue.

When I searched around with this issue I did find that and tried to follow those steps but even after trying it a few times I'm still having the same problem.

Wipe everything, data, system, cache and dalvik
Then try reflashing your rom
Ok have you installed any app to sd type of application? It sounds like your internal storage is being read as external and visa versa.
Also i know there's lots of support for twrp but I swear by cwm when it comes to the GS3. I use twrp on my Nexus and that's fine but on the S3 cwm has always worked better in my opinion.
What roms are you trying to flash? They are sprint s3 roms right from this section?

I've done that. That's what the one post suggested.
I just don't understand why I'm still getting apps showing up when I install new roms.
What about wiping storage? I know you don't want to lose anything but it sounds like something in your storage causing this.

Please see my post right above this one I quoted here. Let us know a few of those things and maybe we can get you going in the right direction.

I haven't installed any app to sd type applications.
I do think part of the internal is being used as external but I thought that's just how it was.
I only have roms, nandroids, and titanium backups on my sd card.
I installed twrp because when I first started it seemed like that was what most people were recommending but it doesn't matter to me. I might switch.
Also I've been switching between cleanbean and liquid smooth, both from this section.
The main thing that bugs me is when uninstalling apps says "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but it just doesn't seem good.

A couple weeks ago, I was switching from a AOSP ROM to a TW ROM and I got the same error. Thinking it was TWRP, I hooked my phone up to my computer and flashed CWM. I then tried to flash the ROM in CWM and it was a no go. I still got the same error. I just decided to transfer all my data from my internal sd to my computer. I used Odin to flash the stock tar file. After that, I used QBKing77's method to root from recovery. Then I flashed my ROM and I got 0 errors. So all I had to do was start fresh haha. It took a bit of time because I was taking many precautions (as should you) Good luck!

Yes just as posted above, but before going the route of Odin back to stock. Copy all your files (important) from internal and external to your computer. Then boot into recovery no need to change now and reformat your internal and external storage, wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Then download a fresh zip of a rom to flash and test it. If it all works then go through your files and move back what you need. I'm pretty sure you have a bunch of O folders in your internal.

[Q] - CM11 TWRP 2.6.3.0 - Can't Flash Gapps

I'm having the strangest problem with Gapps not appearing in CM11. I'm unlocked, S-OFF, TWRP installed via fastboot flash. CM11 (4.28) boots fine, runs, I have data, however when I try to flash gapps in TWRP, I get a successful message, and then when I reboot.... no gapps in the App drawer.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help! Thanks in advance.

you have to flash the gapps in the OP or the system fills and there will not be any of the "GAPPS" also the core gapps package is only the needed files for google play because that is what fits on /system, I could put the other stuff in /data but its a waste because you can get the apps from google play

Thanks for the response! I am downloading the CORE Gapps (16.1MB) 1-16_GApps_Core_4.4.2_signed
Is that the wrong one?
One other strange thing is when I flash them, TWRP says it's flashed successfully, and when the phone boots I see the "Updating x of 65" and finishes boot....
.... but then no apps!

Do a factory reset.....
Also it is only the playstore that is included in that zip .. The play store + the frameworks libs required to make it function

Been having the same problem. I did some investigating, and here are some observations:
The particular ROM I flashed (given the timing, probably the same one you did) took up ~240 MB in the /system partition, which was ~250 MB large, leaving 10MB remaining.
The Gapps I attempted to flash was ~15 MB, meaning that it diddn't fit. However this did not throw an error, but reported a successful completion.
Given the above, I flashed CM11, then deleted some of the larger things that diddn't look importiant. (Turns out it was emoji icons and the keyboard). This actually worked, since there was now enough space in the /system partition for gapps to copy everything over. Unfortunately, there was no keyboard.
Simply put, /system isn't large enough. My question now is if its possible to combine /system and /datadata (or whatever's using mtdblk6, seems to be ~150 MB), then move /datadata to the internal sd card, where there's lots of free space.
I'm still too new to androind stuff to know how to apprach this, but I come from a linux background so even just a pointer to the right direction would be helpful.
Not sure if mtdblk can be repartitioned but it's worth a shot on my Inc since I won't worry much if I brick it. I think partitioning that would make sense. I know there's mtdblk4 and mtdblk5 that'd have to be deleted in order to make mtdblk3 larger. 5 is cache but I think the cache in mmcblk0 is used instead. Not sure what 4 is for.

Go for it, would mean cm and Aokp would be possible again. With the new theme provider changes it is just not possible at the moment

Unfortunately I don't know if that will happen. The resizing of mtd partitions isn't as simple as resizing mmc. So we probably will be stuck as is unless we resize and repurpose the emmc partition. I think I started a project to do just that.

If we can resize emmc Inc will live until 5.0 drops, but I think that is where it will end. I have a 4690k coming that was pre-ordered so builds will be faster therefore faster tests.
