[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samajid:
I have been using Link2sd for a while now and just wanted to know is there a way to get all my apps/games back after flashing a new rom and performing a full data wipe, cache wipe, after factory resetting...etc my phone.

There should be coz all the apps and there data, .dex files and lib files etc, are already there on the second partition. Isn't there anything I can do. I just dont want to reinstall everything again.

Q. I upgraded/changed my ROM and I can not see my linked apps, their files are on the 2nd partition but the system can not see the apps. How can I make them available, do I need to reinstall and relink them again?

No, if you didn't wipe data when updating ROM the only thing you need to do is to run "Recreate mount scripts" from "menu -> more" within Link2SD and do a normal (not quick) reboot.

If you wiped data, after executing "Recreate mount scripts" and rebooting, run "Relink all application files" from "menu -> more" and then reboot. All of your linked apps should be available again after reboot.

If you also wiped dalvik-cache, in addition to the above step run "Link dalvik-cache files".

Found this on the link2sd site... i did as its told here... but when i "relink all application files" it says no files found to relink ... :/ what do i do..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 47th_Ronin:
OK... I'm on vzw gnex using twrp recovery and jbsourcery 2.3 and being an ardent crack flasher I have old /unused files scattered here and there. So, are there any benefits to wiping everything in the internal/ media partitions in recovery? Will this kill the ROM or will critical files be rebuilt on boot, just like cache/dalvik after wiping.

I'm not new to Android but I am new to not having a removable sd card.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielsaenz:
Last time I tried to partition the SD Card (albeit on CWM), I think it "seemed" like it worked but it actually didn't do anything. This might happen to you too. At the time I decided to just connect the phone to my PC and delete all of the folders.

As far as any benefits, I don't think there really are apart from tidiness. As opposed to the FAT filesystem, which has some pretty big limitations, the Gnex uses ext3 I believe, so you shouldn't really worry about how many directories/subdirectories you have.

As far as killing the ROM, the only way to do that is if you format /system, if you don't then the ROM stays intact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
use fastboot and erase userdata. this will wipe /data/media aka /sdcard.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Thanks to rockypr for his idea to do this on FH23. List all the fixes, bugs, additions or whatever you want to discuss about the FI25 Leak.

I will start.

Additions/Changes:

1. Removed ability to choose between MTP or Mass Storage.

2. Removed the Back up and reset option under settings.

3. Much more stable! "rwilco12"

4. Feels super smooth !"rwilco12"

5. Picture messages now send on 3G. "rwilco12"

6. Connections seem to be much faster. "rwilco12"

7. Battery percentage icon is off by default again. "rwilco12"

8. Several updated bloatware apps. "rwilco12"

9. Connection Optimizer is removed. "tdunham"

10. Bootanimations appear to be working again. "tdunham"

11. Removed contact tab from dialer again. "manufan721"

12. Out of Office editing works again! "rwilco12"

13. Battery monitor for devs is removed. "rwilco12"

14. Sprint Zone has a voice. "rwilco12"

15. It seems they added an extra font called Helvetica Neue. "Dvin211"

Bugs/Issues:

1. The Recent Apps thing, where it isn't transparent if you have 3 or less apps in it, still exists.

2. The led notification light does not pulse while charging. "someguyatx"

3. Bluetooth is not functioning properly. "grncherry" For me it was constantly dropping the connection.

4. My WiFi just stopped connecting out of the blue.

Some quotes from the community:

Hmmm.....i flashed and it seemed laggy to me, modem worked great. "manufan721"

This modem really helped with low signal. "revamper"

Data speeds greatly improved and get signal before where i never used to! "elliwigy"

Holy crap this ROM is fricken smooth! Scrolling on it is nice finally! "daniel4653"

Coming from FI03 I'm finding this build to be laggy at times with a couple freeze ups when opening apps- Market , Gmail & Working in settings which reminds me of the young ICS bad days. Data transfer is slower. "sling"

I went back to FH13 today. FI25:not good modem. very slow. Some hicups opening apps. They took away some functions. :banghead: I did not feel much improvement from FH13 or to be more accurate from FI03. "Omar04"

Battery life has greatly increased. "IamFlynn"

I'll second Omar on the FH25 modem. Its terrible for me. The ROM is alright, a little bit smoother and more crisp than FH13, but not enough for me to change my daily setup. "boXerrumble "

Hmmm.....i flashed and it seemed laggy to me, modem worked great(still on it:D), huge downgrade from fi03 on dialer pad going back to three selection buttons up top compared to the 4 with previous fi03 build....why would sammy and sprint remove that?!:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Fu#*! I didn't notice that yet. Haven't had a chance to use the rom yet. That blows. I don't know why they are mucking with it so much. I don't understand why they removed the mass storage option or the backup feature either. As far as it being laggy I am not noticing that part. Seems really smooth and fluid for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:

Some things that I've noticed:

Agat's FI03 repack instead of FI25 kernel seemed to give me even

better

signal. Asked Tray to test as well but didn't work for him.

The buttons between contacts and dialer - which were nice - are gone again :(

Wonder if they're cutting down because the ROM was as big as it was...?

I don't mind installing stuff like this, especially if it fixes the issues im having, I can handle most of the tech hurdles, however I wish there was some kinda of feedback mechanism. Clearly 'they' aren't just writing the ROMs for fun....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Just some more stuff I've found. :)

- Out of Office editing works again!

- Battery monitor for devs is removed.

- Sprint Zone has a voice... Maybe I'm imagining this one but it wasn't in previous builds, right? Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuc:
this is irrelevant but is anyone having power button issues? mine is seriously messing up now.

Also, they better have not removed mass storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerrypp:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
That is not the issue. The led notification light does not pulse while charging in Touchwiz ics builds. It worked in GB Touchwiz roms and it works in Aosp roms. You can use controls in aosp roms to make the light flash blue and red or the app blink or lightwave can make the light flash blue. Its very handy.

I'm running stock with Tunein Radio Pro & slacker radio installed.

Coming from FI03 I'm finding this build to be laggy at times with a couple freeze ups when opening apps- Market , Gmail & Working in settings which reminds me of the young ICS bad days.

Data transfer is slower.

Battery life not so good but that may change after settle in hmm heck I'm going back to FI03.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
Ah I gotcha now ..sounds to me more like a feature that was removed in ICS not so much a bug to be fixed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
In addition to the warning CJ posted, can we get a clear explanation about the stock kernel issue too please?

Here is an excerpt from Kobridge's forum by Leaderbuilder:

"Well flashed this and liking it so far but here are some things I've found. Stock kernel worked (works). But when I tried to Mobile Odin a source built kernel with recovery (Agat's 5.4 or RUjeluss' 1.8) the phone locke up on boot and required a battery pull.

To get it back to functioning I had to PC Odin the FI03 Agat's kernel (Couldn't use the FI25 one click from the repository it kept failing md5 check). Then I was able to boot back up.

Then tried to Mobile odin back to FI25 kernel via Mobile Odin and the same thing happened - stuck at boot screen. So back to PC Odin One-click and use FI03 Agats and booting again."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
So far I too miss the dialer options.

Speed seems OK but I'm stuck at my desk behind and Airave and WiFi for most of the day today so can't address data speeds yet. I'll be out in the field later and can check both 3G and 4G.

ROM itself is pretty smooth for me. Antutu speeds are very close to my last FI03.

I installed Kobridges tweaked version and had no issues except when I tried to mess with the kernel (see here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32078536&postcount=81) but figure it was the bad packing of the one-clicks and/or tars that Garwyn has said he's since fixed (via sxtp forum). And will try the newer uploads later.

Screen capture does work - Volume down + Power OR Power + Home. Just have to press for a full 1.5 earth seconds.

Well that's all I have to add to the above. I'll keep checking while I can.

Thanks all for the work.

I hope Sammy can get their poop together and

What does hotspot give you that the Wireless Tether doesn't? Just curious.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

FI25 kernel tar and one click have been updated and should be good as of this morning. PM if anyone needs it and I'll be willing to get any outstanding issues resolved.

Also didn't like the FI25 kernel and went back to FI03 repack. Not sure why but it was dropping signal back to 19%. It's almost like they took a step back on this build in many aspects. Maybe they needed to go back and fix some major issues and then add back on to of it..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
I personally like using as many proprietary apps as possible. It gives me the "placebo feeling" that it uses less resources and drains less battery. :what:

Thanks leaderbuilder, my screen capture works using PWR + Home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Only installed last night but not really noticing much difference from FI03, kinda wish I just stayed put because of the features that have been removed on FI25.

Was running stock with root so no nandroids for me, every time I want to upgrade or downgrade I have to do a full restore. A little time consuming and annoying but the agat kernels were not treating me well since the latest OTA and leaks so I stayed with stock kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dvin211:
It seems they added an extra font called Helvetica Neue. It might have been added in some of the earlier versions and I just didn't notice though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Honestly nothing really. Just nice to have another option 'in case'.

Well I'm going to stick with the FI03 kernel for at least the rest of the day. I will be checking the connection speeds when I can finally get a break and get out of the cellar I'm in. I do hope they polish this up (maybe rev_03?). I noticed that sextape said this will be the last build before JB starts so who knows. Sammy and Sprint seem to really drag a$$ when it comes to this phone.

Guess we'll just see.

Thanks all for the contributions and support.

For anyone that uses bluetooth like me, it is totally messed up again. It does not function properly, if at all, when phone is in standby mode for voice dialing. This is the same condition that existed in the first ICS leaks. This renders this leak a no go for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I can confirm this one. My Bluetooth dropped all day. My wireless just decided to say fu and not connect anymore also. Restoring back to FI03 as I type this. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
@garwynn about the native hotspot app. To me it's more stable and doesn't need root permission to run. Wifi tether would crash at random times when a text or call comes in for me. Would have to turn it off and on or sometimes even do a whole reboot. Never had any issues like that with the native app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I went back to FH13 today.

FI25:

not good modem. very slow.

Some hicups opening apps.

They took away some functions. :banghead:

I did not feel much improvement from FH13 or to be more accurate from FI03.

More like a few back steps prepping for real improvement, I hope. :o

I will wait this time for an official FI27 or whatever it will at the end. :beer::)

Note:

I only run Full Stock no mods as Daily drivers. (no like the hassle to tweak the hell out of a build to make it functional.)

Custom Roms only for test a few days. ;)

In FI25 same setup only 7.5hrs modem suck for me. That is why went back to FH13

After seeing the laundry list of what was removed or gimped and then going thru this thread and reading the issues I am sticking with FI03.

I do not know WTF is going on at sprint and or samsung but to gimp this build and take several steps back instead of moving forward is beyound me.

FI03 is working good now. A poster mentioned "WiFi Keep Alive" from the play store to correct the wifi issue and guess what it works like a charm. Been running it now for over 12 hours and wifi is rock solid.

FI03 is a good build and has the features to boot. If your having wifi issues use that program wifi keep alive and you should be good to go.

Sprint and or Samsung I would just like to ask W T F are you all thinking. We are supposed to move forward not take several steps backward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
Yes, my screen was off. I did use my car's touchscreen instead of using a voice command, so that could be it? I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong. We're both right, it worked for me and not for you... Happens all the time with these things. Maybe I was just lucky and it won't work tomorrow. It's no big deal. I was planning on jumping back to FI03 anyway since I prefer having USB mass storage natively supported, and they took out the feature in FI25.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I went back to FI03 last night. It just feels like more of a solid build. Idk but on FI25 when I run too many apps and my ram gets low the phone would lock up and reboot! And I also like the contacts better on FI03. Anybody know how that back up and restore option on FI03 work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
It appears that they have changed it once again. FF18 and FH13 both were set at 1500 MTU.

EL29 and earlier were at 1400.

I don't remember what FH23 was but it wasn't 1400.

FI25 is 1400.

The fact that they are playing with it so much leads me to believe they are testing it for how to obtain the midst optimal speeds for everyone.

Stupid question time... what is MRS. I am an Engineer but no clue what that means. I think they are doing the same thing you are saying. Not sure what their standard measurements are, but from what I've seen- they probably don't have a standard. It seems they are more shooting from the hip. They being Samsung. It would probably help if Sprint gave them a standard reference to work with.

When I say Standard Measurement- I mean calibration. If we were talking about electronics in general- a device would be calibrated at 15MHz +/- .5% for Standard Time Frequency using Spectrum Analyzers, O'Scopes and what not. I am only stabbing in the dark trying to make a point.
