It always keeps scanning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, same as stock rooted GB27 for Sprint as far as testing goes so it shouldn't matter. I'm so modded out here that it could be a mod or tweak causing it for me (us?) but I seem to recall that the 'scanning' restarts up every few seconds in the wifi dialogue window for as long as I can remember.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
No data means when you flash it doesn't wipe your data cache so you don't lose everything. Restore takes you back to completely stock. Root/no root either means the rom has root or not. For instance, if you want right out of the store, you'd flash restore un root because that will a) restore everything back to stock and b) unroot your phone. Enjoy!

Looking to put a shortcut for screen shot on my homescreen. Anyone know if there is an activity that I could grab from settings, or a widget, without having to install another app? It's one of the few things I use regularly and to which I don't have access without either mashing the power button, or installing the Screenshot UX Trial or similar app. I am hoping that it is something I'm missing. Using Nova Prime, so I can harvest any of the activities if it's there. I just can't find it at the moment.

Hey, man, that is outstanding. JDSingle76 was right here for me, walking me through panic stricken moments when I started a few months back.

They have talent to burn, and they do it with little reward beyond the thanks (I don't imagine they make mad money on xda).

I hope you enjoy your new phone, man. That rom is simply eye candy. Congrats!

Hey, TD. Thanks again. I searched through the few hundred options within Nova actions, and just bought the app I mentioned, screenshot ux. That combined with your volume wake mod and TBO's widget, and I'm rarely using the power button.

FWIW: The shutdown widget that comes with the TBO premium app is really nice.

Preload and System App

All,

Stryke was kind enough to point out a concern about symlinked apps when discussing the issue of pushing a themed version of the Play Store over in JDSingle76's Virgin Mobile ROM. My knowledge is beginner-level, and I remain concerned that I may have problems in-the-wait that have yet to manifest, and making them worse by continuously repeating. I'm running JV 4 test build, FWIW.

I've pushed the themed version of the play store app into system/app, reset permissions and rebooted, including gunthermic's dark horse version, as well as TBO and Ultima Rom variants. These run fine, but I do have these same app names with different dates and file sizes in the preload/symlink/system/app folder for Phonesky.apk, Gtalk.apk, and MusicPlayer.

Note that when I've also flashed TBO's and Ultima Rom zip files using Garwynn/Agat 0.5 recovery, I get the same result.

Questions: Should I be concerned? What's the scope of the problem? How should I correct it?

Thanks in advance, everybody!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44317023

If you haven't had issues yet I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Possible issues include: bootloop when flashing or rebooting, app errors (ie, failed to parse, not enough storage, general lag, hang ups), theme not sticking, random reboots, etc.

Linked above is the correct methods for pushing an apk to replace a symlinked app.

Note that all devices behave differently, and you may or may not encounter issues. However, these are safe, proven methods to push a mod or themed apk. This will not work with systemUI, the only way to install systemUI is by flashing a zip.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
So...

Stryke, thanks for the swift response. Here's where I'm a bit foggy...I'm running the newer version of the play store in system/app. Following your advice, would pushing the same apk to preload/symlink/system/app, then fixing permissions get me squared?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
No, you shouldn't push the app to both places. Ideally, you should have pushed it to preload, set permissions, and left the symlink to handle the apk. In your current situation, I'd delete the original apk from preload and leave the rest as is. Basically, what you did was overwrite the symlink with the themed apk, so you now have an unused apk eating up space and hogging resources. If/when an update it pushed to the playstore, this can cause the other apk to become active and create issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Thanks, will do it now...

That's what I needed. Will delete one at a time in preload, followed by a reboot, and perform a nand before the first.

Thanks, Stryke!

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Well, deleted from preload the two apps of the three where there were dupes, phonesky.apk and dropbox.apk, and everything seems to be running smoothly. Interesting change: The file is still gone from preload, but the file in system/app has a new/proper date on it, but acts/looks the same, and is the same file size.

Next question while Stryke is at class...what about those that are both in preload and data/app? Will I free up space if I delete THOSE from preload? These include GTalk, Gmail, Maps, Drive and others....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
Oh man im really confused now - lol - I have apps in preload/symlink/system/app that arent even on my phone any more - and this permissions thing is really under my skin - I ran fix permissions in recovery and it didnt change anything - lol - :banghead::banghead::banghead:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Let's block and tackle this...

Don't be, bro. Let's block and tackle this. Stryke's input is clear. To properly push an apk, push it to preload, fix permissions, reboot. The preload should handle what's in the system/app folder without you touching it

If you haven't pushed following my lame advice, we now have clarity.

So...start with one doing it the way Stryke said it's ideally performed, and report back here. I'm back tracking from an improper push. If you don't have that problem, then do your backup, reboot, push themed app to preload, fix permissions, reboot. Let us know what you get.

Alternatively, I might do a fresh install of jellyverse test 4 and see where I land.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
that's what I was thinking too - maybe reflash and start fresh - so I can see if permissions are the same with a fresh ROM install - I even tried reinstalling the phonesky.apk that's in preload and still in system/app it has all 9 boxes checked -

Sent from my Aoikazed by Pio Thrive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I'm going to skip the reflash...

Since I have a ton of mods that I don't want to redo, I just did a nand, and am about to delete from preload those apps sitting in data/app. Will report back anon.

While I do that, post a pic of your current system/app folder (not preload), with phonesky showing.

Well, the data app versus preload app theory is flawed as the apk has a different name. I'll leave those be...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
Well it wored perfectly - I copy/pasted/overwrit in symlink/ - set correct permissions and rebooted - and now it shows correct permissions in system/app as well - whew ! lol - thank you for your help and patience - but still want to know what the deal with the other apps with all 9 boxes checked in permissions -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Looking good...

Nice, and congrats!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
couldn't of done it without you and stryke - thank you - so....putting apps in preload is only for system apps correct ? or would pushing any app be done this way ?

Sent from my Aoikazed by Pio Thrive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I'm reticent...

First, you are the man! You pushed it the right way. First, an update. I'm deleting from preload those apps that are themed that I sideloaded, and they work just fine, no dreaded bootloop.

Secondly, I'm reticent to give any advice, but I'll give you some deductions. You are dead-nuts on.

Update: so far deleted from preload talk, maps, drive, gmail, Phonesky.apk, YouTube, and my machine is running fast as hell. Stryke's the shiz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Preload is mainly to save space in the system partition, so I'd only use it for system apps. That being said, if you were to add an app to preload and wanted it as a system app, you would also need to create the symlink, otherwise just push it to system and set permissions.

Creating the symlink would need to be done using a zip to install the app and create the symlink. Only use a zip when adding any nonexistant app to preload!

I'll try to remember to do a write up on this after I finish my assignments tonight.

And having the apps in preload but not on my phone is ok then ? Like I uninstalled swype, facelock and a few others but tbey are still in preload -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
I jist realised too that if you delete an app and want it back, you can reinstall it from preload - I just reinstalled one of the clock apps I erased and it worked perfect -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
You're headed up...

I'm thinking a restart is the way. After deleting from preload those apps, I figured a good wipe cache partition and dalvik cache plus fix permissions all in one session would be a good idea. Well, after the optimizing apps, I bootlooped. Thank goodness I had a nand that I'd done immediately prior to rebooting. Either... Fixing permissions must be done as a standalone maintenance function, or this phone is more dysfunctional than I thought.

Your temperate approach has helped you. Me and my lack thereof, not so much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I would try each one as an individual process, allow the phone to boot in between. Also, be careful what you remove, not all apps are safe to delete.

Do like you did, make the backup, freeze the apps and test the device. If all's well, delete the apk, boot to recovery and wipe caches. If there'll be issues, you should see them before actually deleting the app.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
JD and you pegged it on the same thing I had hoped. Fixing permissions should be done as a standalone. I just did a wipe of cache partition and dalvik from recovery, and running lean. Well, the first step was successful. Now let us see if fixing permissions works as a separate step.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I'm deleting from preload all installed themed apps only. Unused bloat in JV4 is frozen for the moment. So far I've got gtalk, play, drive, gmail, dropbox, maps, YouTube, and more than I can recall. Done a nand, about to dive in and fix permissions. Why? Because. I am insane.

Well, running fix permissions as a standalone just threw me into a bootloop. Might run one of TD's mods that includes a fix permissions step to see if that does the trick, or...it's time to rebuild from scratch. Anyone here have thoughts on fixing permissions and causing straight to bootup, followed by no service, followed by bootloop? Otherwise, I'm going to have to do a rebuild.

Thanks, Stryke et al, learned a lot and am paying for it! I suppose that's how we learn.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
Ok I see - but i thouht preload was where we wanted the themed apps ? Thats where i pushed the themed playstore - and sorry about the bootloops man - what a drag - when I ran fix permissions it didmt fix anything but upon boot (no bootloop thank goodness) I got the toast notification for my apps getting su permission about 20 times for each app - it just kept showing it over and over and over again - but like I said, it didnt fix any permissions - if running onenof those mods with the fix perm. scripts work please let me know -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
The bootloops could be a result of the kernel you're using. Try the script approach, or set permissions manually.
