[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
An interesting solution.

However, as I understand it, CM7 on the 2X has this issue because the Dalvik Cache is in the /cache/ partition, thus using up a large portion of the available space. There is a fix in the CM7 thread called fix_cache.zip that moves Dalvik-Cache to /data/

This has the added advantage of the download cache being located on a faster NAND chip (I think). Not that it'd make much difference for Market downloads. It also means that Market downloads will work with USB Storage turned on.

I'd link to it, but I'm in bed and cbf getting out and to my PC :D

Kudos for the original solution though; I've been wondering how to put /emmc/ to better use!
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
You're welcome, but you shouldn't full quote posts like that ;o)
[LG Optimus 2x] unfnknblvbl:
Also, does this fix persist after a reboot?
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
Since the dalvik cache is the cache for all the app-related stuff, I opted for moving the download cache, because you don't care about file access/read speeds when downloading apps from the market.

The solution you mentioned basically does the same as mine, moving the dalvik cache instead of the market cache.

The issue with USB storage turned on is legit however. Downloading from the market while having USB storage turned on will likely fail. I'll update the first post.

I cannot comment on that yet, probably I will when I have to reboot next time ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:

[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
How does Android responds to startups scripts. This should be in a startups script somewhere...
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
this workaround is permanent and withstands a reboot, so you only have to apply it once. As it says in the first post you are basically creating a shortcut to another partition.

The Fix from rmcc to the cyanogen source redirects the dalvik cache to /data/ instead of cache by a command line in build.prop, making room for the temporary downloads.
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Ok, that's nice... 1 time change....
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
I was wondering...

Could it be something like the following:

(updater-script)

ui_print("Symlinking /cache to /mnt/emmc/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount" "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "rm -R", "/cache/download");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mkdir", "/mnt/emmc/marketcache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "ln -s", "/mnt/emmc/marketcache", "/cache/download");
unmount("/system");

Just a thought.
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
should work as well. But the issue will be fixed in the next nightly. So this fix would remain for other devices with that problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Ok, then we wait some hours :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ScottHW:
Chown notes

This is pretty useful information. I used AlphaRev and flashed the Bravo CM7 partition, and the small /cache means I can't download any large apps.

There's one extra thing to note:

Chown Note

In the event that you are getting "chown: unknown user/group system:system" please try 1000.1000 as this has been reported to work on several of the samfirmware-released roms that fail with this message.​

As of right now, it looks to me that my Desire+CM6 doesn't actually use /cache/download for market downloads, but rather just /cache.

Oh, that might also be related to me using market_black_emerald_2.3.4

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877510

Unclear if I can use this same symlink method in such a case.

Perhaps I can use something like this

http://blog.endpoint.com/2009/09/using-ln-sf-to-replace-symlink-to.html

to replace the current /cache with the new symlink. I'm hesitant, since /cache is it's own partition, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] ScottHW:
Symlink /cache FAIL

I tried to symlink /cache according to this

http://www.infoparlor.com/android/h...o-protected-apps-install-when-using-custommtd

That author was trying to fix Protected Apps, whereas I'm just trying to fix downloading large Apps, but seems that the process should be the same.

Except, each time I reboot recovery, the /cache keeps coming back just like it was.

This thread gives essentially the same instructions as are listed in the OP

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently having this issue where I can't mount USB mass storage at any PC. The green android screen that appears whenever the phone is plugged in immediately disappears when selected?

My current config is in my sig, if that helps diagnose the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
I had the same issue once with a Motorola Droid. I would recommend you to make a nand-backup and wipe the device and see if it corrects.

If not, try with another ROM. This way you can restore everything if you happen to find the reason and know you can correct it from your current setup.

Now, it seems obvious but just to be sure, have you checked in Config->Connect to PC that the phone asks you for the Connection Type?

Regards

I had installed the newest german MiRom 6 with HTC-Sense. Everything was working smooth and very nice. Then I installed the attached cabs and i restarted my phone. Since then nothing is working. You see the Toshiba Screen and than it get's black. When I connect it to the PC the connection sound is played but nothing get's regocnized.

So what can i do? Oh dear.. I hope I havent messed anything up..

Thank you for your help in advance!!!
[TG01 General] FeurigerIlias:
Okay I saved via Masterclean. Still I want to know what might have happened. It must have been one of Miro's cabs. But which one? At least its no longer bricked.

sorry for that. good to see your device realive. Maybe causes from a keyboard cab.

yes that was my problem :) i used now the autocab installation just to be safe and now everything rocks. its really great work. Only sometime you see the old Windows Mobile behind HTC Sense and know that you use that.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Today I became the owner of one of these babies, but I just found out that in China, I obviously get a chinese model, which does not include google apps, including the market, maps, navigator, etc. Now some of those I may be able to get via my phone, but ideally I would just like to have the market and the google apps suite installed on my device.

Can someone tell me how I can get this sorted? I would imagine this means rooting and flashing a new ROM? Is there another method? I like the whole layout and gui actually, so if I could get a stock US or UK ROM (assuming it includes google apps and market...), then that would serve me just fine...

Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
You might be able to use the Google Apps from the Cyanogen page, I'm guessing you'll want the Tegra version shown towards the bottom of the page? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version

I'd download the package, extract and install each app one by one and check that they work with Honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
I'll look into that. thanks.

Now I understand I would have to root my unit, which I have nor problems with doing. I'm using a Mac though. Which ROOT guide should I follow?

Also, if I decide to install a new ROM rather than flash the google app package from cyanogen, which one would be best to choose? I get the feeling there are a couple out there. I see a PRIME v1.2, I see a Ti-X V3, and I read something about blob v4/v5.

Any ideas what I should choose? I would like one that at least gives me the google apps (incl market and maps), but also has all the assets working (wifi, gps, both cameras, etc). It doesn't have to be a complete makeover, stock layout is fine for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Someone else will need to give advice on the rom's, I don't even have my Transformer yet. :) I didn't even consider the flashing aspect, I was just thinking that you could extract the apk's and install them, but that may not be the correct way. Perhaps root and a new rom will be the best option.

There's also a rom over at Modaco, another to consider perhaps.

http://android.modaco.com/category/509/asus-eee-pad-transformer-transformer-modaco-com/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
right, so maybe some of the others can tell me the differences between the ROMs available? I think it may be a good idea to start a sticky that summarises what ROMs are available, and what guides to use for rooting and installing ROMs. All including links ofcourse...

Until then if someone could give a heads up on the ROMs available, as asked above, that would be great :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
That would be too difficult to keep up with, besides if you read the ROM descriptions it will have the differences listed. Modaco and PRIME! have the latest update included, TI-X doesn't. Modaco has the stock honeycomb icons and PRIME! Asus icons.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksporry:
Thanks for letting me know.

I found this one online as well: TF101_BLOB_ROOT

It seems to utilise adb to push the ROM onto the unit.

As for the other ones, they seem to utilise CWM. I assume I follow these instructions to get CWM installed?

http://android.modaco.com/content/a...od-recovery-for-the-asus-eee-pad-transformer/

Is that also the latest, or are there more recent versions of CWM for the TF101?

Hey Folks! :)

I´m with CM7 now for several weeks and i´m quite happy with it! Just for my personal interest I wanted to give WP7 a try, so I´m very interested in the possibility to make a full backup of my Android System with Clockwork Recovery (where it is possible to get a full working ROM file including all data and apps, isn´t it?)

But here´s the problem now: as soon as I want to use CW (point 9: AD Recovery), it says das there´s an "invalid boot image header" and I can´t use any of CWM´s functions. It seems like this is based on the fact that I´ve installed Rom Manager and updated my CW with it, ignoring (or more "not knowing") that this can only by used when having clk installed and NOT Magldr...

The question for now is: what possibilities do I have now to make a full backup of my system, including all data, all programs, dictionaries and settings I made? Are Titanium Backup/BackupEverthing the only two ways to get out of this chaos? Has anybody some experience with those apps? Will everything work again after a fresh ROM install?

:(:(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Rom Manager only works with cLK.

If you use it with MAGLDR ,it will screw up your CWM.

Unless you made a NAND backup before you started all of this ,you are, indeed, in deep doo-doo... :(

If you now go and try to re-install clk or magldr,it will wipe your rom,data etc.

Your only hope to save your data now,is something like Titanium Backup,or similar.

Once you re-install clk or magldr,flash CWM partition for your new ROM and flash ROM,everything will work again,but obviously without your data and settings.Titanium Backup will back up and restore apps and data to a degree,but not as well as a NAND backup.

Try and re-install a similar rom to the one you have now.Then restore Titanium backup,then make a NAND backup,to protect you against any future folly...

:)

This command got me back to the originally flashed working NAND recovery partition:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-raw.img

This thread has more info on the issue, as well as downloads, etc.

The problem seems to that earlier recovery partitions were under 4MB and newer ones are around 5MB. My original partition config included this line:

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

Iow, it made the recovery partition the 'filesize' of the older recovery image size. Newer recoveries don't fit. If you want a newer recovery partition, you need to partition your NAND with a bigger recovery partition, or run the newer recoveries off SD.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heliav8r:
VEGAn RC1 Ginger Edition was loaded and working fine for almost two weeks.

Then I powered up and it would get stuck on the G-TABDEVs splash screen.....

Here is what I can do:

I can power up and the tab will go past the viewsonic birds screen to the next splash screen (G-TABDEVS) and will stay there indefinately.

I can power up into Clockworkmod 2.5.1.1. 0.8 (all soft buttons work and I can scroll through the choices with the vol switch just fine)

I can wipe cache partition

I can apply sd card:update.zip (only because I still have VEGAn RC1 GE .zip on my device)

I can mount the USB drive (drive is recognised on my computer running win XP)

I can apply NVflash to the device (did this to get access to CWM by changing part #9)

What I can't do:

I can not transfer large files files from my computer to the tablet (I can make a directory and transfer small files only maybe 100 kb or less) Any time I try to transfer a larger file (a ROM or other) I get an I/O error.

I can not partition the SD card (internal storage),

Wide data/factory reset,

Wipe Delvik cache,

it just hangs indefinately with each of the above.

I have spent counless hours searching through all the great information on XDA and can not find any instance like mine.

I don't think it has been bricked because of what I still can access, although there still seems to be something "limiting" my actions.

Has anyone experienced this? and more importantly.... Can anyone HELP????
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numberattic:
you can boot into clockwork but cant use the factory reset option there? if its hanging how long did you let it wait? id try a reset and let it sit for 5-10 mins to see if its really doing something or just mucking around.

you make a restore file (backup of your previously installed rom on your tablet)?

if the rom is still on your tablet try reinstalling it. then after installing try factory reset before rebooting. if you cant reset try reboot then reset.

the G-Tabdevs screen staying there indefinitely is because it needs to be reset. so you just have to figure out how to reset it.
