Whats the difference?

can someone explain to me the difference between odexed and deodexed?

Your going to get a flame for adding this but basically odex is the system files are broken in to 2 files an apk and an odex file. It preloads the odex file to run slightly faster but makes theming impossible.
Deodex removes the odex and compiles it all into the apk making theming possible... if you search you can find a more detailed technical answer but that's a basic one

Well I agree with most of what you said but there have been odex themes

Roms have to go on internal memory to flash on gs3
this message brought to you by my GalaxyS3 running Phantom's Blazer v1.6

I don't know how you feel about using TWRP 2.2, but that recovery will allow you to flash roms stored on your external sdcard.

I would like to know what version of CWM for the GSIII your using that alows to to flash ROM's from the external SD card.
I have only found TWRP able to do this as CWM does not read the external SD card on the GSIII yet.

[Q] Incredible running CM7.2 "Low on space" message

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.

Once again...THANK YOU! I think I got it applied. I checked, and "noauto_da_alloc" shows in the results of the "mount | grep /data" terminal emulator command.

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.

[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.

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.

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!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

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.

Did you try searching the forum for the answer before posting this? I assure you this has been covered at least a hundred times with various explanations and fixes.
Short version is that you probably made a CWM backup of your old ROM before flashing this one. It is saved to internal memory and taking up a ton of space.

I also had this issue after installing a few Rom's with just the standard factory reset wipe. It was fixed by switching to Philz recovery, (I was using TWRP but there is know issues with formatting your internal storage with that recovery.) And formatting the internal storage. Keep in mind this wipes the drive. Worked for me. :good:

thanks guys i found out what was the problem

Awesome. What was it? So others with that issue can use this for reference.
And also. Are you on Sprint? Be careful using anything from the T-Mobile section on your phone if you are. If not, you should update your sig info.

Backups in CWM are automatically stored in /data/media/ and the standard data wipe tends to preserve that folder. An easy fix that doesn't involve wiping your whole internal storage would be to move your backups from that location to your SD card... problem solved.

[q] please help!!!!!!!! 4.2 to 4.1

OK so here is a deal, today i flashed my first 4.2 rom tried the latest MiBox 4.2 and first had problems in the rom itself. did a clean flash and now any of songs are showing up along with 0 images and videos? i gotta say my first aosp rom experience on my note 2 has SUCKED so far so i just want to go back to TW 4.1 on the asap. what do i need todo in order to go back to TW safe?? please help have a messed up rom with no way out.

What happened is that all your photos and documents are stored on a different partition. They're still there they just need moved over... Or just save everything on your extSD card.

Just flash back to Twiz. All your stuff is still there where it was and will be when you flash back, it is just locked in a partition that is not accessible inside AOSP ROMs. Move your stuff over to your external SD card, and then enjoy AOSP. The different partitions is due to a changing of naming convention between TWiz 4.1 and AOSP 4.2 etc. Ofc, it depends on how "clean" you flashed and whether you fully wiped the /data/media partition-which shouldn't be wiped unless you tell TWRP to.
There's a flashable zip file somewhere to move stuff between the AOSP and TWiz partitions automagically. I never use it. Putting everything on the extSD is simpler.

That "something" only happens if you have an external SD card that is *not* formatted FAT32...which odds are unless you did something out of your way really special-your card is FAT32.
