Why can't I install ROMS anymore. I never had a problem installing them. I did a nandroid and tried to install:
Blazer Rom - Jellybean edition: Goes to black screen. I read that you need to reboot a few times after the first install to work but I rebooted about 10+ times with no luck.
Jellybomb 8.0 & 9.0 - Most luck I've had, it goes to "Updating Applications" before going into the ROM but gets stuck.
"Goodness" - installed the JB LJ7 Modem Firmware as described in the installation instruction and then the rom and it goes to a black screen
I am using TWRP which might be the problem? Never had a problem with the non-touch screen version before, but it keeps telling me after I install ROM's that No OS is available and am I sure I want to reboot.
Luckily I can restore my nandroid and go back to this outdated version of Blazer
See how much free space u have on ur phone or SD card.. I had a issue awhile back, where no rom would install.. I kept failing or coming back corrupt.. I noticed that I bearly had any free space.. I free'd up about a gig or so.. and everything worked perfect after that..

I got plenty of space, a few gigs available on both SD and internal. I found these people having the same problem except i've never installed CM on this phone

Also if this helps, when I install the ROM it installs super fast...like within 5 seconds or so. Pretty sure my 600MB files take longer to install. That applies for all the ROMs i've tried

Sounds like you have corrupted downloads, have you verified the MD5 Sum of the downloaded files. I would also recommend downloading them on your computer, and then transferring them over to your device.

Well I think I figured it out. Looks like TWRP was a bad/wrong version. I installed the newest one and Jellybomb appears to be working now. Thanks for the assistance
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.
I have read a few other items in various spots throughout the interweb but I am just not able to find anything that solves my problem. I just flashed my phone with the following:
Rom
[TeaM VeNuM] The Blu Kuban JB GB27 Odexed
Modem
GB27
Kernel
3.0.31-1014481 via tGB27_Agats_Recovery .zip
I formatted my "internal storage" just to make sure I did not have anything wrong with that and have plenty of space on my external storage sd card. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to resolve this because the only reason I flashed in the first place was because I was having this issue on my old rom and some of the forums suggested flashing a new rom, so I did. Thanks in advance for the assistance and the hard work everyone puts in getting these updates out to us.
So the question is what? Moving apps to sdcard? More info on the precise nature of your issue.

Yeah, sorry about that. Any app I try and move gives me that error. Plenty of space on both my internal storage and my actually SD card.
I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for this? Do I need a different Kernel, ROM, etc...?

I am experiencing the issue on my Galaxy Note, although I am running it stock with no custom ROM etc.
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.

Have you made any backups? backups by default are stored internally and each one takes around 3gb... check your cwm folder on your internal storage with a file manager... honestly Ive never had to do anything extreme to free up space.. all ive done is browse the internal and find what exactly is taking up space.
Debloat and remove any system apps you dont use or wont need. and while minimal you can also delete ringtones, alarms and notifications youll never use.
you can also use foldermount to move game and app data n such to the external sd card.
as far as the bootanimation its easy enough to replace by moving the bootanimation zips over manually with a file manager, set permissions, and reboot. no flashing necessary.

The CWM backup folder is pretty well hidden unless you know where to look for it... system root-> /data/media/clockworkmod. That is more than likely what's eating your space; in fact, I would be almost positive that is where your space has gone. Either way, factory resets are safe, just realize that you lose ALL your apps + data. Anything saved on your EXTERNAL sd card are safe and won't be deleted though.

You just need clockwork. You'll see the choices in the menus.
It is not what he meant by telling you to erase your emmc. He was teasing you cause doing a wipe is pretty basic.
