Great walkthrough, just one question...

Just went through this and it worked perfectly! One quick update that's happened since you updated things in the summer--the EXT4 zip has been changed to version 2.0, so you may want to update your walkthrough to read "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip" instead of "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip". I used this v2.0 and it worked fine on froyo.

One question though: now that I've rooted, will the OTA update to GB that I've been ignoring for weeks work? I'm new to the whole root thing, so I wasn't sure if installing via verizon/HTC's OTA update would brick my phone if it detected the root.

Thanks!

Got the play store going but most apps don't install and I get the same old error mssg " package file is invalid". What is the next logical step to try ?

I am soooo close to doing a factory reset.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Well if that didnt work the next step would be a factory reset, or a full wipe and fresh install.
[Droid Incredible General] raghublr:
Factory reset didn't work either....damn " Package file invalid" error again

I even formatted my SD card... now what :(
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Do a full wipe and fresh install of the rom and the ext4 mod.
[Droid Incredible General] raghublr:
toymiz the

I thought Factory reset and the sd format was full wipe...

How do I do a full wpie ?
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Wipe system and data
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Go to recovery and to the mounts and storage menu and format everything available except emmc and sdcard. Then flash your rom, and then flash the ext4 mod if its not included in the rom you use.
[Droid Incredible General] raghublr:
As you gurus suggested, I formatted everything except boot.As stated earlier, I had already formatted my SD card. So I have nothing on my SD card to restore.

How do I go about flashing the mod ? I can insert the sc card in my pc to copy any .zip file rt?

Is there a tutorial on how to restore after complete wipe out?
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Not that I know but yeah just copy the rom and mod to your sdcard
[Droid Incredible General] raghublr:
Thank You Sir!!

I sucessfully flashed CM7 and gapps. Everything seemed fine and I started installing over 100 apps in a hurry... something went wrong in the process and I am stuck with the package invalid error again !!!! grrrrrr

I wiped everything clean and reflashed like before and now the CM7 droid has been skating around for the last 10 mins. in the boot sequence... what's going on!!!

I love my HTC Inc.i really want thing to work out between us :D
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Did you do the full wipe again or just reflash cm7
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
If you did not do a full wipe as described above, then that is probably still your issue. You need to do exactly as i said above.
[Droid Incredible General] raghublr:
Thank You Guy!!!

I did the wipe out again..

I flashed CM7.1 and gapps. Took me close to 2 hrs to where i love the look and feel of my phone again..

Loving this rom so far..

Sync Problem Following Fix

Thanks OP! I followed the steps for installing the Convert2Ext4...zip file. It got ride of the notification and showed 748mb.

Unfortunately, I am still having a problem. My phone will not resume syncing gmail. All other programs connected with my google account seem to be syncing normally. I believe the problem is connected to the low data notification I had previously, because gmail stopped syncing while that notification was up. I have tried standard fixes like turning "auto sync all" on and off, rebooting the phone, etc. I would uninstall and reinstall gmail, but that seems more complicated to do.

Do you know how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

RBGutmann
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You could try going to menu settings accounts and sync, and remove your google account and then readd it. If that dosent work, uninstalling and reinstalling gmail may be the only way. Removimg gmail isnt to dificult, just go to manage applications and uninstall any updates to gmail. Then use a file explorer to go to /system/app and delete the gmail apk. Reboot the phone to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot normally. When it boots gmail will be gone. Then just go to the market and reinstall it.
[Droid Incredible General] quasichef:
Hello! I hope some one can help me! I have a rooted(unrevoked) Incredible that has not been updated with Gingerbread. I have the Clockwork Mod and I flashed Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip. Everything went fine except for the wifi issue. I had wifi but could connect to Firefox or check mail so I read up some and flashed this 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2-02252012.zip which I thought was the wifi fix. The next thing I know my phone does a complete factory reset and I keep getting the setup wizard like my phone is brand new. I go through all the steps and every time I get to the last step it crashes and I get the message "the Application Setup (process com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" I tried to install my backup but it is gone. What can I do to get around this or is there anything I can do to wipe my phone completely clean and start over?

Thank you for your help!
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Yeah just push the soff script if your on froyo and run it then just flash a gingerbread rom

Worked perfectly. Thanks a million. You may want to update the guide to change the Convert2EXT4 file names. There are new versions with 28 October file dates. It is now version 2.0 "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip"

Hello again.

I have been trying to do a back up with Rom Manager since I installed Cyanogen Mod 7-20121202 Nightly to get rid of the low space error. I click the back up and use the file name that is automatically set up. From there it goes to the Fastboot screen and never runs the back up. Is there a file I am missing or another way to do a backup?

Thanks for your help!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Are you using an app to start the backup, like rom manager? If so instead go directly to recovery and make the backup. Power off the phone, hold vol down and power till a white screen appears (hboot), use the vol keys to navigate to recovery and the power button to select it. Once in recovery use the vol keys to navigate to backup & restore and using the trackball select backup.
[Droid Incredible General] quasichef:
I am using the app rom manager. I just tried powering off the phone method and when I click on recovery it does not give me a choice of back up & restore. My only options are Bootloader, Redoot, Reboot Boatloader, and Power Down.

I just fixed it! I flashed this file: PB31IMG.zip after seeing it in another thread and it worked! I have been searching for hours. Some how my Rom Manager was corrupt. Thanks for the help anyway! This is by far the best site for information I have used.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Yeah sorry you select bootloader and then recovery. Glad you got it working.
[Droid Incredible General] gildar24:
Will this method work on my Samsung galaxy s2 pls?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not positive, but i dont think so. You would need to modify the paths in the mod to work with the s2.

i thought this issue of 149 mb for apps was a HTC Incredible specific flaw. does this affect other phones?
[Droid Incredible General] s2kdrivn:
I'm a noob and had the same problem...and now a new one!

Started with a Droid Incredible on Page Plus running froyo's Skyraider 4.2 (and blocked any OTA updates). Was experiencing the "low on space" problem and flashed the fix. Then I had the problems as described on page 3 of this thread (wifi connected but no internet access, B&W camera, etc), so I flashed the latest Gingertiny kernel, and realized it wasn't GB, so I flashed the Touch of Blue 2.2 ROM.

Finally got it starting, but now there is no Google Play app. The "Market" app only opens the internet browser to the Google play terms. Without Google Play app, I've been unable to download Titanium Backup (restore apps/data) and Lookout Mobile Security (restore contacts, etc).

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28

[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Reboot and wait a few minutes, it should update to the play store.
[Droid Incredible General] s2kdrivn:
Unfortunately that didn't fix it... I've already waited overnight. :(

When I click the "market" app, it does open(?) for a split second before closing and reopening itself as an internet browser. But thanks and Happy Holidays!

<UPDATE> OK! So in that split second that it comes up when I open "market" after resetting, I clicked on "accept" and finally got Android Market / Google Play open! It has FINALLY updated itself to the Google Play app. Hopefully I can restore everything now; thanks again cmlusco!

Installing Verizon Update 4.08.605.15 after "Low on space" fix

I applied the fix outlined here and it worked great. I too am new to rooting, but the procedure posted by soniclude, along with the included references were easy to follow and to the point.

My question now concerns the constant nagging to install the 4.08.605.15 update. From what I've read it's not going to do me a lot of good anyway, but I also am unsure of the impact now that I'm rooted and applied the "Low on space" fix. I have been answering "Install Later" every time the nag pops up (getting VERY old!).

Should I tell it to go ahead and install? If not, how can I get rid of the nag?

Thanks.....
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
If your rooted the update will not work even if you press ok, as it requires the stock recovery and all stock apps and system files. You either need to install a rom based on 4.08.605.15, or edit your roms build.prop file to make it think it is on 4.08.605.15. To edit go to /system and mount it r/w and then open build.prop for editing. Look for a line that starts with:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/i...

Change the whole line to read this:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/389630.15:user/release-keys

Then save the file, reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache, and then boot up and the nag should stop.
[Droid Incredible General] SIRTF:
I've done all these on my Dinc and fixed the low space problem. But now I am in stock froyo. Could I get back to stock gingerbread rom, like this one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737398)? Will the low space problem come again if use this stock? Thank you.
[Droid Incredible General] solofloyd:
How do I know the memory increase worked?

I followed all the steps and everything seemed to work. However, under Menu-Settings-SD & phone storage my phone has no "Application data storage" area? Only has "SD card", "Internal storage", and "Phone memory".

any advice would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not sure why its not there, it should be. Well if phone memory says 748mb available then the mod worked. If it says anything else, it did not. Essentialy the mod combined the phone memory and application data storage, they would both show the exact same thing.
[Droid Incredible General] solofloyd:
Thanks for the info and thanks to the OP for providing the guide. I don't remember what the SD & phone storage page said before I applied the mod, but I have a feeling it already said 748 mb. I sure don't remember it saying 150 mb.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Actually your right, i dont know what i was thinking. Probably the easiest way to make sure it worked is to use the terminal command in the op, or use a file explorer to go to data/data and see how much total space it reports. It should be the same as /data. Basicly /data/data use to be on its own 150mb partition, the mod instead makes /data/data a folder on the /data partition. So your right it always said 750mb.
[Droid Incredible General] solofloyd:
I apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how to use the terminal command. When I plug the phone into my PC and try to use a file explorer to look for a /data/data folder I'm not seeing it. Am I looking on the phone or the SD card?

Thanks again for any info!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
To use the terminal command you need to download a terminal emulator app from the market. Then open the app and type in the command: "su" without quotes and hit enter, then "mount | grep /data" withoit quotes and hit enter. If it worked there should be a line containing /data and ext4. If it says ext3 the mod did not work.

You will not be able to use a pc to browse anything on your phone except emmc and the sdcard. You need a file explorer app such as astro file manager or root explorer.
[Droid Incredible General] solofloyd:
I installed Terminal Emulator and tried this command:

$ su

# mount | grep /data

It said:

"grep not found"

I also installed Astro File Manager but I can't find /data/data. What is the path? /mnt/emmc/Android/data or /mnt/sdcard/Android/data?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Do you have busybox installed? Not sure if grep is a native command or part of busybox.

The path is /data/data, you may need to go into astros settings and enable root mode.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
I think grep is part of busy box best way to chect is to go into bin or xbin and look :)
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
mount | grep /data will work. If not, put busybox in front of grep. You are right sir about grep being in busybox.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Yay lol :)

[QUOTE

[*]Launch ROM Manager from your app drawer and click "Reboot into Recovery" (the second option). Click "OK" to proceed.

[*]After the phone reboots, you will now see a black screen with some blue options on it. Use the volume buttons on the left to scroll down to "install zip from sdcard" and click the optical trackpad button at the bottom of the phone to select it.

[*]Click "choose zip from sdcard" (the first option)

[*]Scroll down to the very bottom and select "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip"

[*]Scroll down to "Yes - Install Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" and click it. This step will take some time to complete, and the progress bar may not move at all. Be patient!

[*]Once it is done, click the power button at the top of your phone until you're back at the main menu, then select "Reboot system" (the first option). If you hit power too many times and end up with a blank screen, just hit power one more time and you'll see the menu.

Everything was ok before step 10

Everything was ok before step 10. Root access was ok. However after doing step 10 following the instructions just as mentioned on every row I got two issues I hope anyone can help me solving them.

1. My Wi Fi connection Stop working properly. It connects to every router just fine but without connecting to the internet, and

2. Everytime i want to take a picture or a video with the camera the previous image is in black and white, however the picture ot the video taken is in color. I have checked all the camera settings and I am 100% positive everything is ok

The only thing i did different in this step was instead of downloading "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" (I never found it) I downloaded "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip "

I will appreciate every assistance in order to get this issues solved

May be something on vzw's end. I would do a backup and then go stock and see if it still happens. If it does i would call vzw and ask them to reprovision your phone.

Even more space...?

Lets say I'm someone who has an insatiable appetite for apps, especially large data hungry ones and I've filled up my 748 mbs. Is there any way to permanently partition the internal storage space (the 6.6 gigs internal for media) as rom space for apps/data? Or even part of it? (2 gigs of it, 4 gigs of it, any amount of it... I won't miss it when its gone...)

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible General] ceayuso:
I tried this mod but switched to Link2SD a while ago. You have to partition part of the SD Card but you get to pick the storage size. Once it's set up you can set Link2SD to automatically "link" new apps and updates to the partition. My son uses the phone now, WiFi only, with lots of games (including every Angry Bird version), apps (Netflix, ...), and updates on it. Right now, the phone has 860 MB used in the partition.
[Droid Incredible General] doublejrecords:
Very cool. This sounds like this will work just great. I would love to part with some space on my sd card if this works well. Do I have to partition the sd card ahead of time, or can I do that from within the app? (I downloaded it and gave it a cursory look through, but haven't seen anything yet...) (Also, does the card have to be formated clean to do this, or is it ok with my existing data?)
[Droid Incredible General] ceayuso:
You have to set up the partition before using it with Link2SD. I used a card reader to set up the partition on the sd card with the free MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition on a Windows 7 system. You don't have to re-format the sd card before you use MiniTool but you may want to back it up to a folder on your computer just in case. I used ext3 as the file system for the 2nd partition.
[Droid Incredible General] doublejrecords:
Well I tried using MiniTool, pretty sure I screwed this up royal, but just in case I come out on top with this, why ext3?
[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:

Faster than ext2 or faster than ext4?

Anyways, looks like its ok for now, I had originally tried ext2, link2sd said that my system did not support ext2, (I'm using tiny's 10.1 nightlies from the other thread) so I tried ext4 for the heck of it, and it seems to be working fine for now...

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Could you explain this 'kernel' business to me? I guess I'm just not understanding where I have control over that... isn't it just - the ROM you're on has it or doesn't?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Control over kernel settings can be done with apps from the market like Incredicontrol and SetCPU. I reccomend Incredicontrol. With it you can change the cpu governor which are like power profiles determining how the cpu scales up and down. You can change the IlO scheduler which controls read and write opperations. You can control the min and max cpu frequencies allowing you to over or underclock the cpu. You can overvolt or undervolt, which controls how many volts the cpu pull on each frequencie. It also has options to enable usb fastcharge and audio boost.

Some roms come with a custom kernel built in, but kernels can also be flashed independantly of a rom.

Oh and ext4 is faster than ext3 which is faster than ext2.
[Droid Incredible General] Adnihil:
Hey,

Will this work for a HTC Wildfire S too?

I have searched in the HTC Wildfire S section but couldn't find a thread like this.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not without modifying it first. It flashes the gingertiny inc kernel, which would not work on your phone. Your phone also probably dosent have the same partitions as the incredible. So without modifing the script with the correct partitions, and swapping out a kernel ment for your phone that supports ext4, the answer is no.
[Droid Incredible General] Adnihil:
Alright, thanks.

Guess I'll start learning what all that stuff means then.
