[Q] [H] Dirty flashing CM10.2 nightlies causes sd-apps & app settings inaccessible.

i've just encountered a problem i've never faced before:

i've been dirty flashing the nightlies periodically to get new features/bug fixes with no problem. just clear cache/fix permissions and all is good.

yesterday i tried to go from 8/9 to 8/17, but when the phone boots up, all apps lost their settings and all apps that were moved to the SD card are missing. when trying to look for the sd-card-app folder in /sdcard using DiskUsage, i found a chunk of inaccessible space ~1GB listed as "System Data". i highly suspect that this is where the sd-card applications are.

i tried to flash back to the 8/9 nightly but it gets stuck on boot animation. (never had this happen to me before with cm10.1 or 10.2.) i've tried re-flashed both nightlies but they give the same result.

anyone encountered this or something similar before? i'm not familiar with debugging this so if you need more information from me let me know so i can provide them. help greatly appreciated. thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Saratoga79:
Something similar happened to me. My external sd-card wasn't accessible in some app's, so no camera, no dropbox,...

I fixed the problem performing a checkdisk of the sd on my computer (Win7):

1. Connect your phone to the PC as mass storage

1. Run cmd.exe

2. Use this command: chkdsk /X /F Y: (Y: the drive on windows of the ext sd-card)

3. Wait...

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] boabawhales:
thanks for the response. i tried it out but it didn't work for me. :(

did you do this to get app data and access back on the "new" rom (in my case the 8/17) or to get unstuck from the boot animation on the "old" rom? (in my case 8/9) when you run dskchk did it return with errors fixed? (mine said no errors found) did you run dskchk before or after you flash the rom? does it matter? (does flashing the rom cause the error?)

once again thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
Whenever you are upgrading. Perform a Clean Install. Specially when you are migrating from one Android Version to another.

Now try wiping the cache and dalvik after flashing 8/9.

If it doesn't help, wipe cache, dalvik and system BEFORE flashing, then reboot.

If you cannot do a clean install everytime, stick to RCs, Ms, or Stable builds. But clean flash everytime.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] boabawhales:
thanks for the response. unfortunately wiping cache, delvik, and system before installing didn't resolve the issue. (still stuck in boot animation for the 8/9 rom)

question. when you say "clean install" what do you mean exactly? a factory reset? or just wiping of all cache and system like you suggested above?

thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Saratoga79:
Before flashing a new Rom I use to wipe data&cache, cache and dalvik cache, and also format /system, /data and /cache under BMM and after that flash the new Rom.

You may try this way.

Well my question is my device is only picking up only 2 points. Ive tested this on display tester and I've noticed while playing games like gta3 it also isn't picking up multiple touch. My question is how do I get more than 2 touch points to work? Or is my phone the only one with this problem

[LG Thrill 4G] bhbs203:
I bought this thrill on craigslist and it is well out of warranty so im stuck with a phone with no calling capabilities no IMEI and and unable to go into CP download mode when dialing in 3845*#925# ( i have done some research and found out there is most likely a corrupt baseband)

I have tried multiple times to "recover" the phone through the LG support tool... ive searched and found stock KDZ files tried to flash with LG flashtool (gets stuck on "trying to communicate with IFX modem) and another method using UpTestEX_mod2_marwin. processes stop at 15% except for the lg flashtool (doesnt even communicate with the phone although phone is detected and all driver for the phone are correctly installed) I HAVE TRIED 32 BIT WINDOWS 7 AND XP EVEN 64 BIT 7 WITH A SLEW OF DIFFERENT USB CABLES (NEW AND USED) SO IM SURE IT IS THE PHONE NOT THE COMPUTER ARE CABLES)

I had a problem where the phone did not power up UNLESS plugged into a wall charger and i had to hold down the VOL - and 3D button to get into recovery

when i follow the instructions for flashing cp with SMARTFLASH i cannot flash the CP i can however erase entire CP

so my question would be i need to flash a baseband (or try to at least) for V20P and find a bone stock v20p rom ZIP (cannot flash kdz files) but i have successfully rooted and tried CM10 and thrill seeker so i can try and flash a baseband through CWM OR if someone had made a back up to their phone (with all user data deleted of course) could they upload it (assuming the backup created through CWM backs up the baseband too correct?) if not can i ask someone to please point me into the the V20P baseband ZIP! or stock v20p rom

i have done my googling and it is very difficult to find anything on this problem that i have so if soemone is better at google than I please feel free to help me out

progress i have made

power up problem: fixed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 if you have this problem refer to this link and follow the steps for "flashing the cp" until step 8 (not sure why it worked but this fixed my booting problem )

Recently I bought from ebay an new original housing for my Sony Xperia Acro S, because the plastic protection that covers the battery was broken and for this reason my phone has lost the waterproof protection. I have downloaded the service manual for this phone to change the new housing by myself because there are no Sony Xperia specialized technicians in Ecuador, I am really dissapointed because of this. In the service manual it doesn´t specify how can I change the NFC antenna pad from the original rear cover assy to the new one. It apparently seems to be sticked, but I am not sure of it, could someone please help me explaining me how can I unstick it to put it on my new housing? I am worried about breaking this part and not to have NFC function on my Xperia anymore. In the next picture I show you in the yellow part the NFC antenna that I need to change. I will really be thankful if someone gives me a good answer

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
I upgraded to the GS4 from an S3 about a month ago and like most people just transferred my 32GB micro SD card into my new phone thinking everything would be fine.

I then discovered that Google Play Music, Samsung's own stock Music app and a few (though not all) other sound/music utilities couldn't see any music on the card.

I've read so many forums about how to fix this...all with no success (and as with all forums, even got the odd sarcastic/unhelpful reply...I have to say, if you can't say anything constructive in a forum then please don't say anything at all).

Anyway, I have a solution that works for me on my stock UK GS4 (on EE but unbranded from Phones4U) that uses that most hated piece of software, Kies (but it worked for me so I won't complain)...

Turns out all I had to do was :-

1. copy the Music folder to my PC

2. delete the entire Music folder from my external SD card

3. connect phone to Kies

4. once connected, select the Music option under Library (don't confuse with Connected Devices) on the left had side

5. select + in the empty window (it should be empty ias you've deleted all the music from your phone) on the right

6. select the Music folder you copied to your PC in step 1

7. click 'Transfer to device' then 'External memory'

Then just let Kies work it's magic and copy all your music to your external SD card.

All your music/sound apps should now be able to see your music on the external SD card!

Hope this works for you.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:

...but it didn't work for me. The method in my original post was the only thing I found to work.

Obviously, not every solution is going to work for everybody as most people on XDA will have different setups, custom firmware etc., so it's always good to have a number of different solutions to try in the hope of finding one that works for you.

The Rom is not compatible with your hboot, you need to change some things to get it working

Best thing you can do is installing myonedx+ mysensedx+ or shadowromdx (and choose jb hboot in the installer) because they will work with your hboot

I will help you tomorrow with the other roms

Just to reiterate what GtrCraft has said...

You are on the JB hboot (1.25.0002) meaning you can only flash JB roms.

[General Questions and Answers] ApeironTsuka:
Device: ASUS ME301T (Smart Pad 10)

Android: Stock 4.2.1 (ASUS 10.6.1.29)

Rooted, SuperSU

Store version: 4.3.11 (happened on earlier versions, too)

2 tablet users

The issue is with the primary user. Secondary user seems to be unaffected.

When there are 43 apps installed, the Play Store works fine. When a 44th is installed (doesn't seem to matter what that 44th app is), the Store starts crashing with a OOM error on heap alloc while loading the list of installed apps. I've tried increasing the heap size a bit to no avail. I even bumped it to 256mb out of curiosity.. but the app happily sat there eating the full 256mb and then crashing. It also doesn't happen if any app has been recently updated, so it seem to be part of the list builder specifically. It currently has 46 apps installed, 43 'Up to date' and 3 'Recently updated'. If another is installed to bring the 'Up to date' count to 44, it crashes.

I've tried: Clearing the data/cache (of the Store, DMClient, and Download Manager), uninstalling updates, force close, removing Google account, and rebooting, nothing helped at all. I'd rather avoid a factory reset if possible.

Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cyberprodigy:
Well there are simple things that I like about custom ROMs.

I like trying new things. I also enjoy tweaking the various features that are available with most custom ROMs. There is expanded desktop and PIE controls which makes gaming full screen which is really nice. I don't know if you've ever been bothered by this but games always have the bar at the bottom of the screen which is annoying and gets in the way sometimes. Sometimes it is just nice to have a full screen to use even if it means losing some functionality.

I find it a little annoying that the stock kernel supports NFS, but they've arranged everything to run in a unique namespace so you can't make a NFS mount visible outside the shell where you ran the mount command. I don't really need NFS enough to want to replace the ROM, but I can imagine that being a reason to do so.

Notes

Notes from 10.1 still apply.

You will probably see some annoying notifications that cannot be removed no matter what you do. It's not a bug, it's a feature of Android 4.3. You can read about it here.

Extras

T-Mobile V20f radio: Mega, Dropbox. Flash with CWM.

TWRP 2.5.0.0 for p769: post
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AntonX:
Here we go with CM 10.2.

It seems to be running fine so far, but it's the first build so anything can happen.

Persistent notifications in Android 4.3 suck.

No need to do anything special when updating from CM10.2, just flash with CWM on top.

Watch for Gapps, you need a different version now, link is provided in the OP.

CM10.2 does not support DeviceParts extension to settings anymore. I have converted the Advanced Settings into a separate Optimus L9 Settings app.

I extended the settings with some BLN options. Neldars's BLN app is not required anymore, you can just enable notification lights with L9 Settings. If you want scheduling you still need his paid app though.

I set ADB to run as root by default (ro.secure=0). Just got tired from switching to root all the time. If everybody thinks it's terrible idea let me know.

I will still do some updates to CM10.1, it's not dead yet, plus it maybe a little too early to jump to CM10.2.

Upgraded from AntonX's CM10.1 ROM, no data wipe just caches. Installed new gapps and it runs great. At first glance stock vibration intensity for haptic feedback seems a little less, no complaints just an observation. My only annoyance is that sometimes when hitting the home button to leave an app it takes me straight to the widgets screen. No big deal though, might just end up having to wipe data. Smooth ROM as usual though. Thanks for bringing 10.2 to the P769 AntonX!

OP updated

Repo synced today. Quite a bit of changes.

Enabled auditing in kernel to tame extensive error logging from auditd daemon. It's related to SELinux. I still haven't enabled it in the kernel, somehow don't want to do that.

GPS. Somehow I feel it locks a bit slower. It does lock in the end but not in very few seconds as it used to. I haven't touched anything related to it, but I have updated radio on my phone to L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1305, so it's quite possible it has something to do with it. If you also notices slower GPS lock I wonder what radio are you running.
