Put your apps in zip=>/data/app

and add to updater-script:

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");

That should work on any rom ( gb,ics or jb)

You can name folders differently, but you must maintain path

example:

zip=>/myapps/ -all your apk here-

line in updater script should be:

package_extract_dir("myapps", "/data/app");

First name is name of the folder in zip (and it will extract all the subfolders too), second name where it is extracted (subfolders will be copied too)...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDM inc:
thanks it worked you forgot the run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data"); btw

and some if not all to the apps i install using this method force closes but one when i use them, is the 1000, 1000, 0771, 0644 some kind of permission code?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Oh yeah, that and

unmount("/data");

at the end of updater-script

Permission is to give ownership to system (1000 is for system), 771 is permission for folder and 644 are for apps in folder

Don't ask me why and how. it's a linux thing... and i'm a windows user :)

Maybe a picture can explain it better

Btw, i didn't understand, you mean when you install it from zip (in recovery), those apps FC?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDM inc:
i was saying that after i install the rom and boot up the rom and try to launch the apps i installed using the method the apps are installed but when i click on them they FC
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
It should work.

Did you do factory reset (wipe data partition from recovery)?

I mean, on clean install it should work.

Check folder structure. If in zip there are data/app folder and if you are extracting them to data/app , final result will be files extracted to /data/data/app and not data/app
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDM inc:
i found out that it was the apps, some of them like touchpal do not like being installed automatically and miui borwser cannot be installed as a data app. So pretty much it worked thanks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandizzam:
I do a lot of bike and walking navigation with Google maps and was wondering if it is normal for the Map to be rotated slightly diagonal even though I'm walking or biking facing the direction of the street. Seems like the compass is not working. These are some examples where I was facing the direction of the street:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schluety:
tap the red compass thing. does that fix it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandizzam:
No, that just puts the Map in a fixed position
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandizzam:
Any suggestions? I don't want to rma this phone because it's perfect otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
anything with a magnetic field or an electrical field can throw off the compass from slightly to a lot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaindyson:
It may be that that is the way the map is supposed to be, but Back in the earlier days of the mobile compass, they has to be calibrated, I had to do it all the time with my HTC wildfire, and once or twice with the N4 The easiest method for this is to hold the phone in your hand screen up with the application that you want to use the compass on screen, and turn your hand in a figure of 8 motion, moving only your wrist. There should be a video on youtube if you need. Hope this helps :)

[Shield Q&A] thomazff:
Hi just got my Shield today and every thing is ok. Installed a couple games and apps.

My tegra zone was working ok, the 3 tabs showed their content. I played a couple steam games.

Then all of a sudden, my tegra zone does not show my games or the one on the shield store. My pc still shows their.

The games start all ok from the default android launcher.

How can I solve this?

I have a shield with 64gb sandisk card, nothing installed on that. Stock android system, no changes or hacks.
[Shield Q&A] chaind:
You won't have the games installed under Shield Store.

You will have them under "Shield Games" section.

Are you saying you don't see the installed game in either of the places in TegraZone ?
[Shield Q&A] thomazff:
I didn't see any thing on booth sections. Tried every thing. Solved with full restore.
[Shield Q&A] chaind:
Cheers! :thumbup:
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
Did it ever resolve for you? Also, where are you located (basic location)? (I just noticed, it says BRAZIL... duh)
[Shield Q&A] chaind:
Yeah ... even i noticed his location is Brazil.

But FTW :D the world is filled with people who have connections to citizens of USA :D

And i didn't face the issue. i just tried resolving his problem by the actual fact!
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
I'm slow, give me a break. We know the bug, and it's due to location. I reported it. I don't use the app for anything but streaming PC games anyway, but I guess others do. :)
[Shield Q&A] thomazff:
It has nothing to do with location. As I said, a full restore Solved it. And my shield was never used in the US. Someone gave it to me as a gift. But now it is behaving strange.

It only shows 2 games, the outrun clone and the Reaper. Is it ok? Now it can be location, as I am in Peru travelling.

I dont use it for finding games, more for launching them.

As of right now, replaying Max Payne is great.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
It's not because you moved it from the US, it's trying to give localized game lists, and it doesn't *know* any for Brazil or Peru. But it's trying anyway. :)
[Shield Q&A] thomazff:
So how do you explain it working ok after a full restore? Showing all games and always from Brazil.

It can be a location based problem, but a very strange one.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] davehutch:
Can somebody tell me why, over a couple of days of normal use, my memory drops from 17MB free for programs to about 2MB free, even though I have stopped all applications?

The only way to get it back is to do a soft reset.

If it didn't do this, I could probably live quite happily without mucking about with a big ROM or whatever.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jimmy-bish:
By the sounds of things you need a program that actually CLOSES programs. Normally WM2003 will just minimise when you hit the X button, making them quicker to open next time, but it means you have heaps of programs open at once, taking away from the ram.

SPB Pocket Plus, Wisbar Advance and a few freeware programs will take care of this problem for ya. I have Wisbar and only ever soft reset if a program crashes and locks the thing up which isn't very often at all (perhaps once a fortnight or maybe a little more often than that.)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pietrucci:
I also have SPB Pocketplus, but that doesn't solve the problem. After a soft reset I have about 21 Mb of program storage. After running programs like Contacts, the Phone, Calender and closing them (really closing them!) I have about 18 Mb left. I heard this is a common problem with 2002/2003/2003SE. So in my opinion the only solution is to softreset your PDA every few days...

You can use tools like Memmaid to view your running processes. There you can see that, after closing your applications, some (always running) processes have grown bigger!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] simon_darley:
memory loss

i have the similar problem under universal wm2005, my available memory slowly reduces or doesnt fully recover after each interaction, until it winds down to a slow machine, a soft reset fixes, but still frustrating that it has to be done. I have SPB 3.0, and it still occurs.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jimmy-bish:
Sounds like thereś a program installed on your devices that has a memory leak. I´ve had my phone going without a soft reset for well over a week now and I have 29.1mb left as program memory. When I soft reset I start out with 29.8mb.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pietrucci:
???

According to the amount of threads I've read about this subject I think your device is quite unique. Is phone the only application you are using? Anyway, cherish your device! (I'm not cynical...)

memory loss

even though u guys close all ur apps there r some hidden task running which takes the memory i had cexperience in which there was task manager if u see properly u will get lots of program taking up all ur memory in that u can even end task those programs
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] simon_darley:
memory loss

Any actual task managers that can be located for WM2005 so that I shut down some of the running tasks would be great, any ideas on:

1. A good product to use

2. Which are "good" tasks which must be kept and which are "bad" tasks which can be shut down?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jimmy-bish:
My phone's not unique in any way. I used to have the same problem for the first few months of having my phone. I then did the big storage hack, cleared up everything in main memory that wasn't need, the usual memory enhancing stuff discussed on the forum.

Now I'm really tight as to what programs stay on my phone. Anything takes away from the memory and it's gone unless it's an essential app. Not one thing is stored to main memory and these programs are what I have installed:

Wisbar Advance (latest release)

Wisbar Advance Desktop (0.7 Beta)

Resco File Explorer 5.13

psShutdownXP

Pocket Artist (trial, getting rid of it soon)

Pocket Earth (waste of space, getting rid of it)

Who wants to be a Millionaire

Ziogolf 2

PDAwin Spot

Tennis Addict

Virtual Pool Mobile

Flux Challenge

Everything except the Wisbar apps are on the sotrage card, wisbar apps are in storage. Nothing on main memory at all, even deleted the photo templates!

Like I said, I used to have memory leaks and from what I could tell at the time SPB Pocket Plus 2.5 was the main culprit for me, dunno what version 3 is like. Voice command is also a killer.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pietrucci:
You mean, you installed all these programs on Storage Card of Storage? How did you do that?

As most programs will automatically install in Program Files in main storage...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
try sktools for some hardcore cleaning up.

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] stevedebi:
When you run the install program on your PC, it will ask if you want to install them in the default location. Say "No", and select the storage card as the location.

However, some programs won't work on a storage card (especially memory managers, Today plug-ins, etc). If you are installing from a CAB file directly on your PDA, it will automatically install to main memory. There are applications to fix cab files, but I have never tried them.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ujj75:
HI!

I was facing the same problem. My memory would go down from 22 MB to about 9 MB and once I did a soft reset it would again go up to 22 MB. I realised that the culprit was Battery Pack Pro v. 2.0. I had Battery Pack Pro v. 1.1.1 installed on my Mini and it was absolutley fine but the problem started only when I upgraded to BPP v. 2.0. I communicated with the developers of BPP - OmegaOne but they couldnt offer a solution so they refunded the money I had paid for it. Since the time I have downgraded to BPP v. 1.1.1 the Mini is working fine and no memory leak whatsoever.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] davehutch:
I don't have BPP but I do have the following: Maybe we could find a common link to all the machines with memory leakage,

Dinarsoft MemMaid

Spb Weather (was Marsware Weatherpanel but lost even MORE memory)

TCPMP (shouldn't be that as I hardly ever use it)

Richard L. Owens FILEASFL

vCard send and receive

CDL Orange customisation

Pocket Blox Aqua Calc

Spb Stardock Weather skin

Spb GPRS monitor

Spb Full Screen Keyboard

Its been awhile since I got on to S3 forum..!

Good to see a lot of progress went on.. :)

Well, a quick question regards Google map & its voice turn-by-turn navigation.

When I updated my stock S3 to 4.1.2 and debloated, I do not get ANY voices in Gmap.. when its time for me turn, the phone just makes alarm noise (Dingle)

I remember I had the same issue with CM10.1, where I did not get any voice guided Turn-by-turn directions.

Is there a way to get this feature back on track?

After a 2 week turnaround time (including shipping both ways), I fired it up and immediately noticed the exact same problem (random flashing to black, plus some minor flickering). :mad: I called up ASUS again and inquired as to what they had "fixed". I was told by the customer service rep that they simply did a factory reset. They could offer no explanation why this was the only thing done.

So, back to ASUS it goes, again. This is frustrating.

Enable alternate echo canceller.

I have used the same method before and it worked but I was on 4.1.1.
