I have a small problem i installed font installer from the market and now after uninstalling the keyboard is stuck on the font that was last installed by the app. I have gone through the root of my sd to find the apk from which the keyboard is installed and cannot for the life of me find it. I thought maybe if i could find it wiping cache and data on that apk would remove it. If there is anyone out there that may be able to help i would greatly appreciate it.
As seen in pic its only the keyboard. Also kote that swype keyboard and gingerbread keyboard are both the same as the system font for some reason its only this keyboard and that is it.

Flash your last back up from cwm?
Or try to install the app again and set it to the default font then uninstall it.
In the future use the built in flipfont.

Hey there everyone. Here is the story in list format.
- Got first Galaxy S2 (Tmobile)
- after a few days rooted the phone using odin
- uninstalled bloatware via titanium back up pro
- installed a few apps(fb, twitter, swift key x, mobli, two different font changers)
- everything was running smoothly until i actually installed a font and the app prompted for a reboot.
- i reboot and the booting process freezes at the bootloader logo (tried countless times)
- i enter recovery mode to wipe phone.
- wipe phone.
- same issue.
- i thought then that the phone had some sort of issue in itself.
- i take the phone to tmobile a few days later and tell em some bs.
- get my new phone.
- root it again same way.
- uninstall all the bloatware i want gone and install all the apps i want.
- again SAME thing happens when i install this font changing program.
the program downloads previews for 146ish fonts. you select one. it actually downloads it and reassigns the default font with the font you download and after a reboot it should work.
except i get a frozen bootloader screen. so this time around i am convinced of the app somehow messing with the bootloader settings (etc...)
soooo...i decide to flash "SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure // Root // Busybox" by bubby323.
odin says its successful, but still same freezing issue at bootloader.
help please.
Your problem is with the ROM. Boot into recovery, mount USB, put the ROM on your SD card and flash it from recovery.
Also, stop using that app

i do not have an external sd card, so is there any other method? i can always go and purchase one tomorrow. there is no way for me to put the file onto the internal sd memory because windows never recognizes the phone because it never boots up.
and trust me, i learned my lesson....never downloading that program again.

There are drivers posted in the dev section, be sure to try and download them again.
Your phone's "/sdcard/" location is actually an internal SD card. So when you use CWM to mount the sdcard, it will mount both the internal, and external SD card if it can. So you should still be able to do it.
as you said i was able to mount and copy over the rom, but after i copied over the rom file, it does not show on the android cwm file menu. maybe if i restart the phone?ill try it now.
still no go the rom file is not showing, the drivers have been installed. i reinstalled them JUST in case.
maybe i'm doing something.
- i mount usb storage
- copy over rom tar files
- unmount and look for it in the apply update from sd card and install zip from sd card selections but both show no files.
alright well after a few hours of trying a million different things...the only thing that worked was eaglesblood rom via cwm mount. thanks romanb for helping.
Hi,
First i will say thanks for the great rom, i will try it asap (a little bit more stable)
i read about this rom in the topic since it was started .
i have some Questions, it will be my first "clean" Android (without Sense)
There should be a installer after first start of the rom after flash? Where can i found more information about the things i can chose?
Evervolv toolbox, is that an addtional Settings Dialog with more Options or still a app which can be used as "standalone"
(sorry for the bad english)
When you install it you will get some options to choose a launcher and a2sd-script.
On first start you won't get the app to set your g-acc and so on, you'll have to do that in the system settings.
And the Evervolv-Toolbox are additional settings the this rom it's not a standalone app.
Hope this helps
grtz
Please note that Sandvold ICS v. 0.4.2.1 has some stability problems at the moment. Many people experience "black screen of death", device fails to turn on screen after a period of inactivity, battery has to be removed to reboot. I found that raising the minimum CPU speed from 245mhz to 384mhz completely removes this problem. With this small tweak the rom is great! You *should* be able to change this setting with Evervolv toolbox, sadly it does not work. For some reason the toolbox runs with insufficient rights to tweak cpu speed, I did my own scripts to set cpu speed from the console instead.

Black-screen-issues can be solved by flashing MIUI-kernel:

Hi! I use ICS since beta 0.3.9 and I'm now updated to 0.4.4
This release seem very stable now. Just remember that the camera preview doesn't work. Also, you might have some problem with MMS.
App space problem
Hello - some help for a newbie please (well Desire newbie)...
I did try reading though Sandvolds thread, and I have tried to remedy, but I don't seem to get much further ....
I am running an ICS beta on my tablet, so I thought it would be interesting to try it on my Desire too. On the tablet there is more memory, so I have never experienced space problems with apps.
I rooted the Desire OK - and flashed 0.4.2.1 ... ran fairly smoothly, but hit space problems when trying to load up some of my favourite apps. I have a 16gb sd card. I downloaded apps2sd from the market - and moved some of the apps. However still not able to update some system apps from the market due to insufficient space (even though there appears to be enough).
Reading the other thread, I have gathered some/little understanding... and so before flashing 0.4.4 I reformatted my SD card from recovery choosing the largest ext4 that I could.
I was then ready to go to try 0.4.4.
On trying the Amarullz script and Nova launcher - I was having lots of lag after boot and I kept getting prompted to enter PIN number and reboot the phone. (I had done a factory wipe and cleared Dalvik after flashing the ROM).
I then reflashed choose Apex launcher, stock Kernal and data2sd option.
I wiped after flashing, did a few waits and reboots - as others recommended this.
Now seems to run quite smoothly, I have added back a bunch of apps via Titanium Backup ... but I don't see any apps 'automatically' being moved to sd card. I have moved as many as I can manually.
But I can also see that I am going to run out of space again soon ....
If I look in the settings at storage I see...
Internal storage - Apps 104MB Available 26.86MB
SD Card - Apps 239MB
Am I doing anything wrong?

1). www.revolutionary.io use this
2). www.alpharev.com download cm7r2.img
3). flash the hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
4). re-flash 4.4 and choose stock a2sd
5. enable a2sd
Code:
su
a2sd install
#choose settings#
Thanks for quick response..... I have a fee more questions....
I originally rooted my Desire via revolutionary .... do I need to do it again?
I guess I then flash the zip file.
The fastboot command - can I do this from the terminal app?
hi,
fastboot command and adb must be running from computer.
you need to instal sdk android sdk android
if you run revolutionary, u don t need to do once again but to flash an hboot you must be Soffed.
dunno if revolutionary does the job... i used alpharev to do son gain S-offed and able to flash hboot from fastboot command.
I saw the option to install agps in the installer but i chose gps. How can i add the agps when i already installed the rom? Because getting gps fix in navigation is taking way to long, so long that i abort it while trying
Getting closer
@bortak
1. Done OK
2. Done OK
3. Done OK
4. Done ... BUT ... no Gapps, no Terminal app ... not much really not even a keyboard (even after 2 reboots)
- The link to Gapps for CM7r2 no longer works
5. Unable to try this as no Terminal app ... and I can't get ADB working on my PC.
where have my apps gone?
So I can't get cm7r2 to work, so I reflashed hboot back to standard, I then reflashed 0.4.4 choosing stock a2sd. I installed a2sd via terminal and moved cache too. After reboot I installed a bunch of apps .... and eventually ran out of space - as if apps not being moved.
I then rebooted, and all of the apps except the paid apps have gone. I installed a couple of apps from the. Market and they have also gone after reboot.
I turned a2sd off, then I was able to keep apps over a reboot ..... but I would like to get a2sd working.
Any ideas?
For now I am manually moving apps to SD card.
Sorry for this question...
Your 3G, Wifi is working.. My wifi, 3G is not working..
3g (once APN set up) and wifi both working well

Did you do a wipe after flashing the rom? I had a similar problem when doing that. CWM Recovery also deletes the sd-ext partition, and as on cm7r2 there are also system apps on sd-ext, they are gone.
With the included a2sd apps should be moved to sd-ext automatically. It is not shown on the phone.
How big is your ext4 partition? And did you create it with CWM Recovery? If so, try recreating with gPartEd.

This.

I created the extra partition via CWM recovery - maybe too large as I made it 4gb.
I wiped the device and Dalvik cache after flashing the ROM.
I then set a2sd via terminal and allowed reboot.
I then downloaded apps (or restored via Titanium)
Eventually ran out of space when downloading apps - so they were not being moved.
Apps run OK.
When I did a normal reboot - the apps 'disappeared '.
Reading Bortaks debug guide the only thing I can see that looks relevant is to try reformatting the SC card with 2 primary partitions.
Read what i wrote? Do the following:
1) Recreate the partitions on your sdcard using GParted
2) Do a full wipe BEFORE flashing.
3) Re-flash the rom and select stock a2sd
4) Do NOT wipe again
4) Reboot, start Terminal emulator, set up a2sd
5) See if apps stay
On my first try I selected stock A2SD and set it up as explained using the terminal. (using a 2GB ext3 partition, placed after FAT32)
I rebooted and everything seemed fine, and I installed several apps. After a while, though, I got the "insufficient storage" error whenever I tried to install something. In the application manager the internal memory available had a large negative value.
I then wiped everything, reformated the 2GB ext3 partition to ext4, using "Minitool parition wizard" and reinstalled the Sandvold ICS ROM with Amarullz. Everything seems fine, and it shows 2GB internal memory. However, I've noticed that the ROM gets more unstable the more apps I install (it shows 500MB installed apps now, after removing around 50MB)...
Most of the time what happens is that system apps start crashing (Google Music, Dialler, Contacts, etc.) out of nowhere. After a while normal apps crash on execution as well. Google music is useless, as it crashes after a few songs and brings down the whole phone. Other music apps don't have this problem.
Am I doing anything wrong with the way I set up Amarullz? Should I retry stock A2SD with ext4?
I'm using stock HBOOT, Nova launcher and stock kernel.
Got there ..... but.....
After repartitioning my SD card for the third time ... I finally have this working.
Thanks to all for help/advice ..... but (isn't there always a but) ....
Downloads from the Market/Play are extremely slow maybe 5+ times the same apps took before .... I have tried on different WiFi connections - still the same.
Is this a consequence of the write speed of my SD card (it is only class 4) ... I did see a post in another thread where a class 4 wasn't recommended, but this was refuted by others using a class 4 card.
Otherwise all apps seem to be running OK, with no real loss of performance.
I guess once I have finally loaded up on all the apps I want, the Play updates will be more infrequent and less of an issue.
hello,
I just installed JB ... And I notice that I have a problem with the camera, and taking screenshoots.
These appications work but do not record anything on the SD.
Looking to explore root I noticed that I have two SD slot (which are identical), the first directly to the root - SDcard - and second-SDcard0 him is in the Storage directory (which is at the root ) ....
What to do?

Read about it in another thread. Noticed that it also creates problems when installing zips from within ROM manager. It boots to recovery and then when it goes to find the zip that is supposed to be in sdcard, it cannot find it resulting in an error. If you boot into recovery, you can install zips from there. Havent needed to restore a backup but I am assuming if you do it right from within the ROM manager, it will create same issues.
I just noticed the same thing with thus sdcard0.
Edit: I found another post that said its harmless very weird.
I tried to swap storage of my phone and now, when I open my phone, it refreshes itself after reaching samsung animated logo.
Which means my phone is not opening, just restarting after Galaxy W logo.
This was what I did.
- Install Root Explorer
- Open root explorer, go to folder \system\etc
- Download modified vold.fstab :
- Open root explorer
- Tick mount R/W ( So that you can edit system file )
- Extract the content of the file that you download just now and overwrite original vold.fstab with the downloaded vold.fstab in the \system\etc folder.
- Tick mount R/O
- Restart your phone and enjoy.
After that, I flashed couple stock roms with Odin, it gave the same result. Am I right ? My phone is gone away
From where did you download the modified vold.fstab ?
Have a look here also.
do you set permission after doing that?..

if your phone can still boot to recovery,, why not reflash your back up..
I did the steps here
mygalaxywonder.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-swap-and-unswap-memory-in.html
I downloaded files from there too.
My phone was already rooted and permission was setted.
The phone does not accept any flash. I tried many stock Rom's too. Like Turkish one, Europe one.
Isn't there anyway to save my phone ?
[SOLVED] Dont worry
hey bro I faced the same problem and solved it easily
1-install CWM
2-boot into recovery
3-format /system and wipe cache and delvik cache
4-install new rom like CM-9-rc6 (prefered)
5-fix permissions
6-reboot
iam out now will be back in 2 hrs hope you can solve it

Yesss!! I succeed bro! You are the man Well, I understand that I should format system too which was the thing I forgot. Also, do you suggest CM 10 or something better for gaming ? Dude, I could not open games like Vice City or Shadowgun in my W. My internal storage is so small. Is there another ways to install games. Lighten me please!

Just swap the internal storage with your sd card and you will have bigger internal. If you are using cm9 go to settings > storage > press menu > there should be something like use external or such i don't remember > tick it and then restart

From last week I'm facing this issue.
1) this issue is with some apps only.
- till now i hv seen this error while updating Facebook, Gmail and Tv Sideview app
2) Google Play store completely downloads the app but while updating it says Error: Insufficient Storage.
3)
But I'm able to install other apps from Google Play.
4) Even installing Facebook, Gmail, Sixaxis Controller manually from APK has failed it says Free up some space. While I can still install games as large as 50mb.
5) two weeks later I have rooted my phone, but I haven't done any critical changes which many rooted android users do.
6) some apps I'm using which u may want to know are:
-SuperSU, Root Uninstaller (fr deleting G-books n G-Newstand), GL to SD (but it's unmounted), Link to SD (just installed didn't use it), Rom Toolbox Lite (didn't use it either) and Lucky Patcher.
I have mentioned it because I got to know that it's the issue with those using lucky Patcher....???
Root /dev/log... Folder has just four files. Nothing to clean frm there.
Internal memory : 360mb (I had uninstalled some apps to increase it too 410mb but still facing the same issue)
Help requested. What to do now?
Phone: Sony Xperia M Dual
Model: C2004
Android version: 4.2.2 (Stock Rom) just rooted nothing changed.
======================================
UPDATE: FIXED ||||| PROBLEM SOLVED
====================================
I had changed d Apps2SD option to SD Card which was causing this error. Changed it to Auto again
By the way another fix is to goto lucky Patcher and in it's troubleshooting menu. Choose remove /delte (any logical options which says to clear) patches and backups
PS: i read it smwhere and haven't tried this one.

move your apps to sd card using link2sd.. here's a guide to it http://www.xda-developers.com/android/guide-on-increasing-application-storage-with-link2sd/
