Hi all,
I have as strange issue in regards to apps on the SD card. I'm rooted, S-off on 3.29 stock. I installed installLocationMod, which enabled me to move any apps, even those not necessarily programmed, to be moved on 2.2 to the SD card. I basically moved everything that's not system, gapp, or widget related.
Everything works great, until I have to reboot, or I attach the phone to a PC as a hard drive. Basically, the apps don't come back after the phone comes back up, or its disconnected from the PC. I have to spend many hours doing reboots, battery pulls, dalvic cache wipes, etc, and then seemingly randomly, they pop back up.
When they're missing in the app list, the settings / app manager shows that they're there, but they're always "computing" when I select one to read the properties. Also, the market installer gets stuck, and I can't uninstall anything either.
Recently, I've read threads about partitioning the card before moving apps to SD.. is that still necessary with 2.2? Is that why this is such a pain? I'm thinking maybe the only solution is to move everything back to where they came from, and only move those apps that are specifically programmed to be moved on a non-rooted phone, and get rid of the modlocationinstall program altogether. That's a drag because I don't have room for all the apps, so I'll have to lose some... which is one of the reasons I rooted to begin with.
Any ideas? BTW, this is the second SD card that does this. The card is good.
Thanks,
Mike
Hey, I found this elsewhere on the forums in the LimeMOD rom in regards to mod install location:
"important !!! after a reboot you need to stop LauncherPro in the running applications menu to reload all sd installed apps !!! "
Could Sense be the reason for the missing apps issue? Is there a way to 'postpone' it on reboot?
Thx,
Mike

I'm thinking I might try stopping the Sense service after the reboot and letting it restart and see if they come back. I'll try it if I have to reboot again.. I'm actually avoiding rebooting at all cost now since it takes hours of frustration to get back to working order again.
Another thing I noticed.. alot of programs have that I moved have hidden services that are listed in a start-up auditor I installed just to see what the system was doing on boot up. I originally thought I'd be safe moving them since I didn't have widgets associated with them, or they didn't seem system related. Now I'm beginning to realize that I might have to be more careful what is moved, since I don't always know how they'll behave on boot. I suppose that's another reason why its best for non-techies just to rely on devs to build the default 2.2 a2sd behaviour into their programs, rather than forcing them there with stuff like mod install location.
Oh well... I'll keep you all updated when I know more. I'm rather surprised though, that more people aren't experiencing this...
Restarting Sense doesn't do anything. It seems still to be completely random.. usually after 4 or 5 hours of me continually manual rebooting. Nobody has any input at all?

update:
After several unsuccessful reboots, I was able to get back the apps by going into settings / phone storage and unmounting the card, and remounting it, with no reboot. I've tried that in the past and just had the phone lock up, but this time it worked. FWIW, modinstalllocation was set to auto, and debug was off. I don't know if its repeatable, since I don't relish having half my phone unavailable for half the day to test it, but next time I lose everyting, I'll try it again and update the thread. I realize that judging from the lack of responses, most of you all don't really care, but since one guy did say he had the same problem, and to prevent someone in the future from going through all this aggravation, I'll keep on top of this. It will be my little contribution to the forum...
UPDATE: Had to finally do a reboot, and all the SD apps came back! I'm thinking the card dismount/remount did the trick

Hey guys,
I apologize for the long post - I tried to provide as much detail as possible.
So over a month ago, my phone randomly turned itself off. Then I noticed that it kept trying to turn back on again - it was going into a loop of loading up to the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' boot screen before turning off and so on. Upon looking it up, I noticed that people with the same issue attributed it to the power button getting jammed (Makes sense as it's hit numerous times per day). The advice to hit the power button on an edge to unjam it worked fine for me. My phone was back up and running.
More recently, it had gotten into the habit of randomly turning off and restarting - I attributed it to a software glitch and did not think much of it. Yesterday, it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it on, it gave me no response. I took out the battery and put it back on and noticed that without me hitting the power button, it would turn itself on and load up to the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' boot screen before going to a black screen (Not even the blue LED or Samsung logo came on that usually follows the initial boot screen). Taking out and putting the battery numerous times gave me the same result. The difference from the first time is that now it's silent after turning to a black screen indicating that it was still on. Initially, I thought it was the same problem as before - a jam on the power button. But trying what I tried last time has not worked. My phone is completely useless. Even hooking it up to a micro-usb charger did not change anything. The closest problem and potential solution can be found by googling "Samsung Galaxy S3 not booting up, keeps restarting showing ”Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300” black screen" (I cannot post the link as a new user). Upon taking the suggestion from that webpage of running 'adb logcat', I realized that my PC is not even recognizing that my phone is connected as of course it is incapable of booting up. I've tried entering recovery mode - it gives me the blue "entering recovery mode..." text before turning into a black screen.
I rooted it a while back and have had no issues - I only rooted it in order to get rid of the bloatware that was starting to affect the performance. I have not tried flashing any ROMs at all - I'm still running stock albeit rooted.
I care more about getting the data out of the phone (that is not synced to anything such as some crucial text messages..etc) than the actual phone's status. Please if anyone could help me that, it would be really appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Well, your not gonna get anything until you can power up and stay that way.
It sounds like the power button. Just because attempts to unjam it this time don't work, doesn't mean it's not the source this time. The tapping it to free it up is temporary at best and for most people it doesn't help. Best I can say is either open it up and attempt a true fix yourself (replace the button, or if lucky reseat it), or take it to a repair shop.
You can most likely ignore any search results that include I9300 issues. It's too different and has different problems than ours.

Let's assume its not the power button issue, If it is then follow Doc's advice.
When you plug it to PC, under these conditions, PC won't recognize it unless its in Download mode. So while its turned off, press and hold home + Volume down and then press power on button. Keep them pressed until you actually see the Big yellow triangle and warning. Then plug into PC. It hopefully will install the drivers if not installed before.
Run command
ADB Devices
it should recognize and list your device.
99% it's the button. Afaik, only that or a short could cause the device to try and turn on by itself after inserting the battery.

Umm... absolutely not disputing the button but just being Devil's advocate here.
Would something similar happen if the kernel boot image somehow got corrupted ?
Thanks all for your responses. I've taken it to a repair shop and instructed them to try and fix the power button. They were going to first flash it to see it was a software related problem. If what DocHoliday77 has said is true, then it should be able to work without affecting the software (given that they can fix it).
I will keep you posted. Thanks again!

I know you were just giving possible alternatives. Wasn't trying to argue against you at all. More just stating that I'd look into the button as the culprit first.

So it was a problem with the button - Yes I was putting you to the test! But it was something I had suspected given what had happened the previous month. The repair shop fixed it and it's all good. While we are on the topic, I was wondering if there is a one-stop solution to backing up the contents on your phone? I know there are multiple apps for various purposes (calls/texts, application data..etc) - is there one that is capable of backing it up (from phone memory + sd) and restoring it? I figured something like that would be very easy. For example, you could connect your phone to your PC/mac and it would automatically back up your stuff for you... This experience has taught me the power of such a tool. If anything that could be an idea for you devs
Thanks again for all your help! It's greatly appreciated! I'll be working diligently to back up everything on a regular basis now
Glad you got it fixed! And glad to hear I didn't send on some goose chase to find what was wrong!
There are several solutions for backups, but most require root. Using CWM or TWRP recovery, you can make a nandroid backup, which basically creates an image of the partitions you select. Root not required but you do have to flash a custom recovery.

Cheers! Actually I know about both recoveries - I think I have one of them already. But a nandroid backup is merely an image so it will return it to that point in time (not very different to system restore, although i know system restore does not actually touch your documents & files). I was thinking something more flexible that would allow you to easily backup on a regular/daily basis by just adding to whatever has already been packed on a remote location (PC, cloud solution...etc). A solution similar to how some external hard drive softwares work - once set up, you have the option of automatically backing up stuff (certain directories...etc) set by a certain time interval...
Sounds like you have a grasp of the nandroid concept. For backing up apps and app data, there is no better than Titanium Backup. But for your personal files there are lots of apps that can do this. Many are tied to a cloud storage service, so if you have an account for one, see if they have an app that'll help. There are also those that can sync to your computer. I've never used either myself.
Personally I use nandroid and TiB (titanium) and the rest I can manually back up easy enough using a wireless FTP app.
Everyone will have their own opinions on the best way. In the end this is just one of those "find what works best for you" situations. Gather info on a few solutions, try them and see what you like.

+1 all the way. I personally don't use beyond nandroid and TiBu. Do please note, TiBu does indeed have an option to sync automatically with cloud of your choice, typically used after backup but can be used on its own.
I know for a fact many friends have been using various free cloud services and their apps to sync Google drive included. I for one, periodically copy my nandroids and my TiBu files to a personal cloud (WD Mybook Live) and that's that. I am sure there are concerns with using such a method. As doc correctly said, use what works best for you.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I'm familiar with Titatanium Backup and My Backup Root. I haven't used either in a while so should get on that!
Just to confirm between the three (nandroid, TiBa and My Backup Root), I should be able to save non-syncable text messages correct? (I believe apps like groupme stores them in the cloud, though I am not sure about whatsapp (do either of you know if you switch phones, you'll get your old messages back? Are they synced to the whatsapp server or just live on your phone locally?))
One last question (sorry!) - do you know what is the easiest way to document all the apps installed on your phone before wiping it out (without manually taking a screen shot of every single page of the app drawer)? I have nova launcher installed so I can backup all the home screen settings and save it to the cloud...
Thanks!

To whatsapp, the app itself has a way to backup the message history to your internal SD Card. From there you will need to copy to external SD. If you used Titanium, it will backup the messages as well as your Whatsapp account. On the new device if you restore that backup and open Whatsapp, it would be as if you were at the time of the backup. You don't have to login to whatsapp and re-validate.Titanium will also help document all the apps you had on the phone. If you copied all of Titanium backup to the new phone, all these apps will appear as un-installed there. You can then restore them and they will appear in App drawer. Nova's settings included.

Brilliant thanks a lot!
Note that if you use stock messaging, and you switch phones you probably will not be able to restore your messages. DB structure will be different which can cause anything to performance issues to app hangups and data loss.

I actually use Textra and before Handcent. Restoring from those should be fine right?
From one app to the same app just on a different device should be fine. The app will still function as it did before.

Hi all, I've been playing around with custom ROMs on my One X for about a year and a half but was recently getting tired of putting up with stability issues and decided I wanted to return the phone to stock.
I relocked the phone with ADB, then ran the appropriate RUU for my CID.
The procedure worked fine and I managed to download the latest HTC stock update without any drama, except for one annoying issue.
The search function stalls every time I use the toolbar - the whole screen goes blank white except for the little 'working' logo, occasionally it connects to Google and responds to my search terms. Also I cannot find any trace of Google Now in the software, it has vanished from the phone. No cards appear on the search page and there is no reference to it in any settings menus.
What do you think the root cause could be? What are my options for fixing it?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply but whatever it's called it isn't working properly.
I'm getting error messages saying "server access failure" and there are zero cards or location-based info being presented. I cannot find any reference to cards within the settings either. Would a factory reset work? Or is there someway of resetting or re-installing the search apk?

I don't use it actually but I've just tried it for you and seems to be working fine, loading up up relevant weather and location information.
Yes you could try a factory reset or try uninstalling it from the play store, but don't forget you are looking for google search, and not google now.

Hello all.
I just became the new owner of a family member's Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T). Already owning and tinkering with two xperia Ion's I wanted to have a little more freedom and experience Kitkat on the GS3.
I had no experience in unlocked bootloaders and all that, so I figured that I would let the Cyanogenmod Auto-Installer do the work for me and install CM11 on my device.
It worked great initially! No problems whatsoever aside from minor glitches here and there. As soon as I started installing some more apps and Xposed modules, I noticed that things were getting odd.
Eventually, my phone wouldn't connect to google's play services whatsoever. Despite countless resets of the phone itself and my modem/router, nothing seemed to help. Flushing the cache and dalvik didn't help either, nor did a factory reset. The issue kept coming back.
Thinking that perhaps another rom wouldn't have the problem, I installed C-Rom (which was based on 4.4.4 KK). It ran BEAUTIFULLY! It is sure one hell of a rom. But then, not too long after I had everything installed and running the way I wanted it to, it had the same errors as before.
I don't know how to explain the error other than the phone just generally messing up. I don't recall it ever having those issues on stock, but then again, it wasn't my phone on stock, and the first thing I did upon receiving it was put a custom rom on it.
But the error can only be explained as a general f***-up of the entire OS. Commands run brutally slow (I will launch the flashlight and it wont turn on until seconds, even minutes later. Alternatively, text messages take eons to send and receive, which I am positive is not an error on the AT&T side of things). Then, whenever I try to download or install an app from the play store, the application will download partially and then stall for what feels like eons. Some of the applications just stop there, and some I will find installed on the device some 30 minutes later. Not to mention that the signal icons on the quick setting tiles are all turned orange for some bizarre reason. Another bizarre issue is that no matter what, I can never launch the terminal to execute an htop, logcat, or anything! The terminal just stalls and eventually crashes, while it worked fine before.
I've checked online for errors similar to this, but haven't found anything that has helped the phone. Anyone out there who is willing to give this a crack or just point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you're the modules you're installing are crashing your system. I'd suggest you do a clean flash of w/e rom you wanna rush (you seem to like C-rom) and run it clean for a few days. You can install apps and such but don't restore system apps and don't install modules.
If it runs fine after a few days, you can cherry-pick the modules you wanna use (make sure they're made for the sammy phones). Install one or two, test for a couple days and so on. You'll eventually find which one is messing with your system (if that's actually what's causing the problems).
All seems to be well now. I've isolated the problematic app after slowly restoring all my app data one at a time. I have since moved to a different rom (SOKP) and everything is going running smoothly! Surprisingly, it wasn't Xposed causing the issue, but a market app that displays system info similar to conky on Linux computers. Once I installed it, the system just crapped out. Signals dropped, the terminal froze, and none of my apps seemed to work properly. But once I uninstalled the app and reset my phone, all was well.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
I bought my kid the Note 10+, activated it on Verizon's website and went through the TWENTY THREE Software updates, plus restored all her stuff from her Note 8.

Factory reset if you did a major firmware upgrade.
Otherwise clear the system cache.
Reset network.
Using SmartSwitch to transfer inbetween different models can cause issues.
Updates kill carrier phones... if still running on Pie, keep it there. Carrier updates are the first thing I lock down.

A network reset and clearing the system cache are fast and painless. Clearing the system cache can cure many strange behaviors.
Try clearing the sim card tool kit app's data as well. It will then repopulate the data by it's self.
There could be a problem with the sim card as well. Always handle sim cards like a stick of ram, ESD can damage them, they have little or no ESD protection on their I/O's. They're cheap so techs handle them carelessly but that can cause you a lot of trouble and unpredictable failures in the future.
Well, we tried everything, including a new SIM card, but in the end, a simple factory reset fixed the problem!

Problem being if it reoccurs. Many times the same issues do if you don't find the root cause.
Unless I'm boot looped or have a significant malware infection I try to track it down.
Some apps don't uninstall clean and you may need to reinstall them to undo hidden setting changes they made. Had a Google(?) book reader app do that; it altered a display setting. Quit annoying.
Sometimes it takes days or longer. Eventually you will usually find the root cause and learn in the process.
If you upgraded to a new OS version a factory reset is also in order. Basic maintenance will keep an Android OS running well for over a year even with heavy usage, at least with Pie.
