You can store APK's on the USB storage, and you can install them from there, but the installed app will be in the devices memory, not the external USB storage.

Safe Mode = Wet Phone

Just a quick note for anyone who runs into the variation of this problem that I had today.

Using my Nexus S today in the rain. Phone got wet. Specifically, damp got into both the Power button and the Volume rocker.

The result was when the phone was restarted (after I removed the battery and dried it out) it came up in Safe Mode.

Which is how I wound up here.

[Android General] SupraLance:
A work-around for phones stuck in safe mode due to water damage etc but that seem to work fine otherwise is to convert the (trusted) apps you need from data apps to system apps (move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app after installing via the Play Store). You may need to use Mounts2Sd or something similar with an sd-ext partition if you don't have enough space in your internal /system partition for all the apps you need. (With Mounts2Sd, placing the apps in /data/app-system on the sd-ext partition will fool the phone into thinking the apps are in /system/app and you can then use them in safe mode). If anybody is aware of a simpler script that does the same thing, please lmk.

Same issue here...

I am facing the same problem. I had used my phone in rain. Now the volume down and power button are not working. And the most irritating part is that it rebooted into Safe mode which I dont like.

Anyone knowing how to get rid of these, please share it... Thanks in advance !!!

Safe mode of course enables to erase it.

[Android General] pdastapure:
Turn off safe mode

Yes, safe mode does exist. It is the default mode in your android phone without extra apps installed. When in safe mode you cannot use your favourite apps. I understand it can get irritating some times.

You can try rebooting your phone. It worked for me.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] unknownz_1:
With the recent lag fixes, superchargers and browser fix, and youtube work arounds, no more data drops, phone calls actually working, aside from video recording i don't really see any more big bugs associated with ICS Roms. I have decided to try out an ICS ROM. I looked through the forums about the best ICS Roms and see those two as the consistent winners, so it would be great if someone could give me to choose one over the other.

P.S. Also, the first sentence is just my assumption that there are no more major issues with those roms, but if there are any more big issues like gps not working or maybe some of the fixes I mentioned above aren't included in all current ICS roms it would be appreciated if someone pointed that out. Thanks

You're going to have to do what we all do and just try the ROMs yourself. Plus, it's fun switching ROMs every once in a while!

I've tried them all, and I always come back to Genesis. IMO, it's the most customizable, and the newest Stable build runs great.

But, try them all out. Don't take anybody's word on which is best, they all have pros and cons. You just have to figure out which one fits you the best

Hello,friends i need two solution from you people....

1.how to backup entire /system folder for using it in android kitchen working rom.

can i backup with root explorer or use some commands in terminal emulator..

i think terminal commands will bakup it in .tar and will not change anything in the files

so please give me the commands to backup system on sd card.

2.secondly what value to put while partioning sd card using rom manager....

thanks in advance.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Don't know number 1,

I have a SD card partition of 1024 MB and 32 MB swap. I can install 500 apps :cool:. So I guess these values are more than enough
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
1. nand backup via CWM or Amon_RA recovery

2. don't use ROM Manager (EVER for ANYTHING), either make the partition via recovery or via the built in tools

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Yeah, 1024 goes a long way but if you got a big SD card you might want to go for twice that and swap isn't just not needed, it's not even used unless you make a separate script to use it which ISN'T included in most roms.
[Blade General] rohitzz:
Which kind of built in tools?
[Blade General] rohitzz:
Why anyone don't know 1. Step!!!
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Jinxxed posted it above
[Blade General] rahulsa:
Tar will only backup what is inside the system partition . For a more complete backup one needs backup of all partitions and boot loader with recovery. It possible only by a tool like CWM.

Also for a phone with 512 MB RAM one doesn't need swap. It mai actually degrade the performance.

My Idea ZTE Blade has only 256MB RAM, I am using CM7.2 . In manage applications total of free plus used is only 128MB. So I enabled swap using m2sd, it's 256MB, actual usage varies from 80MB to 130MB.

My phones performance is greatly improved.

Sent from my Idea Blade
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
1. CWM will use TAR to make the backups so it's the same thing, to make a clone of the partition you'll need to use cc.

2. It won't degrade the performance in any scenario, it MAY be unnecessary and unused though.

3. That's not swap, that's using an extended partition to store data, what you're looking at is internal storage and more specifically the internal partition /data
[Blade General] rahulsa:
1. Ok, new learning for me.

2. Good to know this. I was bit worried initially with my 256MB swap size. As I saw 0 or 32 MB swap in many posts. But after 2 weeks I confirm that it was the best thing I did for my Blade. Yes it was even better than using sd card's ext4 partition for more space. Low RAM was a bit serious issue for me than low space.

3. I know swap and ext partition are different. I have 256MB swap and 2 GB ext-4 on my class 4 16GB.

Also understand that using m2sd one can mount /data on ext-4 (r mount) and /sdext on internal nand.

Sent from my Idea Blade
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
3. Just nitpicking but the way it works is to mount data to /sd-ext/data, /sd-ext is just the mount point for your ext partition (which may be ext2, ext3 or ext4 depending on how you configured it during partitioning and how you mount it). Depending on how you do this you can have data, app, dalvik-cache and app-private mounted to /sd-ext/[folder] (this is the common way of using it when you use my script and S2E).
[Blade General] rahulsa:
May I know your script name?

Using your script which of above should be moved last, I mean with swap already might take a portion of sd card i/o and hence i fear, may make overall speed very slow.

Or for enabling all of them should i upgrade to faster sd card?

Currently I am happy with swap and apps on sd card, rest all on int. nand.

Sent from my Idea Blade
[Blade General] Jinxxed:
S2E-Swap-Jinxxed.zip is the name, you flash it via recovery. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54672755/S2E-Swap-Jinxxed.zip

It's basically a set of init.d scripts for proper configuration of swap, mounting of sd-ext and the S2E application to move apps, data and cache (you can choose what you want to move and what you want to leave on your internal nand data partition) to sd-ext.

It works on all roms that don't have S2E support from the get go including all ICS variants and JB.
[Blade General] rahulsa:
To deactivate mounts2sd-4.6.2 script and use your script.

I did following after getting your answer as PM.

I deleted 10mounts2sd script from \system\etc\init.d\ .

While observing S2E-Swap-Jinxxed.zip, I realized that it contained s2e.apk in /system/app.

So I actually installed s2e from from market to get latest version.

Then to enable swap and other optimizations, I added following lines in begining of 20userinit script present in /etc/init.d .

mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime,relatime,barrier=0,nobh /system

mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime,relatime /data

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

So I got what I wanted and also learnt many things in the process.

Also experimented with /etc/sysctl.conf by adding vm.swappiness=50 (initially 70).

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

I backed up my Blade using the latest ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 .

CWM backup up saying done, but with a message.

It said it did not backup up /sd-ext or external ext2/3/4 partition.

So I was worried to use app-to-ext scripts or programs.

Now I successfully used tar to backup sd-ext and restore it on a faster (class 4 to 6) sd card.

But I would like know if there is any new version of CWM for Blade 6.0.1.2 with or without touch, which backs up ext2/3/4 without any issues.

If yes, I would upgrade my CWM.

It saves time to use CWM, compared to tar.

Thanks in advance.
