I don't know what I did, but after reinstalling all my apps I rebooted so that my wallpaper change went into effect and when it restart I was getting force close after force close. Then anything I tried to run crashed. So I rebooted again and then I was stuck in a loop at the andoid screen.

Any Ideas what may have caused this as it was working PERFECTLY.

Kills me, but I just wiped it all over and am trying again.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Another quick note:

DO NOT

use the original apps to sd app or any of the old apps to sd tutorials with this. They will break your phone. You can use AppsToSD2 safely, which is on the market as a donation app for $0.99 or here on xda if you follow the first link in my signature.

EDIT: just spoke to the dude about this but I found the problem with the script which is what causes the boot looping if you use the old apps to sd method. He will be fixing it in the next version. By fixing it I mean he will make it undo the old apps to sd method so it doesn't break your phone. The old method will still erase your apps though so DON'T DO IT!

I REALLY like some of the elements of the manup theme, but the dark gray isn't my thing. Too bad we can't just edit colors like we can on our PCs! Dialer is sweet, transparent selection of home icons, various UI elements. Just wish we could pick and choose. An app for that would be pretty awesome.

The "ext2 partition" available space feature is neat! Is the /system/intmem showing how much free space we have left in data/data? Or whatever the location is for the app data?

The build rocks. I might have to root my wifes phone now.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
True marcus,

I think this is why I had looping, weird UnionFS errors and force closes.

Backing up all apps and formatting the card and starting over worked perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
hey marcus. before updating to 1.0 i deleted the symbolic links and did the mkdirs from your thread. i then wiped twice, applied 1.0 and wiped again. rebooted and got into boot loop. i guess deleting the links and doing mkdirs didnt work because i still have 73mb available on phone after fastbooting nandroid. any ideas?

i tried deleting symlinks and doing mkdirs after nandroid flash and still have 73mb available on phone memory.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Wipe and re-install fixed this for me. If anyone else can't see their old apps, you might want to try that.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
did a wipe and all works perfectly now. awesome..... theme is pretty good- sometimes hard to see certain things... and it is deep......

now with 5 screens do i need dxtop?

BTW: i notice there is an app now called home switcher to go between home screens...
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Hmmm try backing up all your actual apps from the sd card and reformatting the ext2 partition. Since it looks like you moved the cache there's a possibility you could have Stale NFS handles.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
I have noticed screen tap sounds are waaay quieter than previous builds. Anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Hey marcus or dude,

I try to download stuff from market I already have. Free or paid it doesn't matter. I am getting Insuffecient Storage available. Any ideas what I need to do. Available space says 141 megs. Some of the paid apps even say "Authorizing credit card".
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
i have tried for a couple hours but gparted is taking forever to even see my partition(wether mounted through phone or in card reader)if it ever sees it at all. and this time i hit refresh devices over and over again and it never showed up. any hints on how to use gparted.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
You could also type df ;)
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
its not just you. me too.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Did you make a /system/sd/app directory? If not it's putting apps on your internal memory. If you use my appstosd2 app it'll move all of your apps over to the sd card and make the /system/sd/app directory for you. It's available from the first link in my sig.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
So also when I uninstall programs they come back after startup. The apps download correctly but always show "Installation Unsuccessful"
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
1: Definitely use the sd card reader, not the phone

2: It needs to not be mounted in order to modify the partitions/reformat. If it mounts automatically(which I believe it does) try right clicking on the icon for it and click unmount and then try it in gparted.
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Anybody else having issues with "Manage Applications" in the "Settings Menu"?

For me it freeze after about 30 seconds. Than it will reboot my phone. Any ideas? I do have about 160+ apps installed :p
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
thanks. rebooting into ubuntu now.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Works just fine for me. I'd just remove apps by going to market and uninstalling.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Uh hi. I'm sure you guys are awesome and helping each other out.

Did marcus let you know the script is turned around?

I'm uploading 1.0a to hopefully fix these symlink issue.s.

If you're working fine, awesome. If you're not, damn...I will read every post when I get to nashville...and see were I stand.

--

sent via the dude's laptop (win7mode) tethered using wifitether and the dude's cupcake 1.0 with apps2sd. So there is hope.
[G1 Android Development] Sistum Id:
Im trying to clear defaults for certain apps.

Also does this work in Dudes 1.0?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Indeed I did, and have helped a bunch of people on here so far. You might not have anything to fix when you get there :cool:
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
so i just got home, i installed dudes build a few hours ago and had an assload of problems with the new way. just read the first post and saw the stuff about dalvik-cache........not cool. haha. i figured no big deal i will just re-format the ext2. except now paragon keeps giving me an error. is it possible to wipe the ext2 from the phone? or delete the dalvik-cache from it so i can go back(forward?) to 1.0?:confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ah, hmm I'm not really sure why that would happen. Might try wiping if you haven't already. Your apps are on the sd card anyway so it won't hurt anything.

And yes, that does work on this ROM. He just built in my method so it's the exact same thing.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
gparted it still not recognizing my sd card. its in the reader, unmounted. refresh device after refresh device and nothing. thanks for the help.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Yeah I ran the app. I actually had it already on my phone. This in turn caused my phone to loop on boot.

Here we go again..... looks to be a long night.
[G1 Android Development] atlmatt:
OKAY I just got done with the reformat of both my partitions and got the phone flashed....

And everything is working pretty good, Took 3 trys to get signed into the server.

Ill push my apps back tomorrow,

thanks
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Did you run the appstosd2 or appstosd? I unknowingly ran the appstosd one and ran into the exact same problem. After a few pm's, marcus got me straightened out. Unfortunately, it required deleting everything on the ext2 partition to fix the boot loop. Good luck bro.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Yeesh that's not good... Try flashing to a ROM that works(I can't remember if this boot looped for you or just had problems), go to settings->sd card & phone storage->unmount sd card-> format sd card. That worked for me when ubuntu hated my sd card.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I would like to know that as well
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
i couldnt wait for a theme for this so i just flashed aero theme 1.5 worked then started crashing until I adb pushed from original dude 1.0 to system/app:

launcher

contacts

vending

phone

will add screen shots
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
my issue is similar to his but not, paragon recognizes the sd card, it just fails when i try to re-format the ext2. i flashed back to .94 and no issues, i just want to clear my ext2 and start over without the damn dalvik-cache so i can go to the new version
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
On that note: DAMN YOU PARAGON!!!! I've never seen or used that program but I seriously hate it. About 90% of problems I've seen with apps to sd(and I've seen a lot of them) are because of it. /rant

EDIT: By the way, sorry if it seemed like I'm ignoring your problem. I'm not, I just don't know how to deal with paragon's problems since I use gparted from ubuntu and that has worked perfectly every time. The only suggestion I can make is try backing up everything on your SD card(including the FAT partition) and using the phone to format the card using the instructions in my previous post.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
1.0 boot looped on me but i flash a nandroid of .93 and its all good. just aggravating that this awesome new feature that you developed and dude implemented is not working for me. and since the boot loop, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. the universe is so against me today, but im still happy.
[G1 Android Development] cjlyrix:
dalvik and data on 1.0..

Hi.. first post ever lol

About the dalvik and data.. I'm runnin dalvik and data 2 sd right now and haven't seen a sign of trouble. Formated ext2.. wiped.. flashed.. reboot.. copy app, app-private, dalvik, and data from terminal.. went into recovery.. alt-x.. and removed app, app-private, ect. from /data in internal memory

That's just my experience
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i now have the issue of it not recognising my pictures either- bit hard to use bettercut if it cant find the pics...any solutions?
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
no worries, i don't have to work tomorrow, so a long night of sugar and caffeine are in store for me, plenty of time for me to solve my issue or smash my keyboard:confused:. i had no issues with paragon before. now i am starting to hate it. will try to format it through phone and give it another shot
[G1 Android Development] knight4linux:
Partitioning w/ Paragon

Oh god Paragon?! Heh...if your going to format something EXT* your better off using a live cd. You might be thinking "Argh...why wait for such a huge d/l for something I'm only going to use part of...and only once" Seriously, try using it for a bit. Even if its only for adb & android stuff. At the very least whenever you have a problem in Windows so that it won't boot, Ubuntu has supported ntfs for a while...so just pop it in, fix whatev, and your good to go w/ your fixed system.

Simple. Advice. Partitioning. With. Paragon. Sucks.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Do you mean the picture files don't show up(like it doesn't give you the option of choosing them) or the pictures don't display(show up as black or something)? Off hand don't know how to solve either but seems like pertinent info lol.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
yea i have a few live cd's lying around somewhere in this place.....i would just use my girls netbook, except shes 30 minutes away.... and sleeping. i never had problem with paragon, then again i only used it once before:(. off to find those disks
[G1 Android Development] t_hsieh:
Hi Everyone,

first I wanted to say thanks to Marcus and Dude and everyone else that helped out in making this awsome build.

Now for the people that are getting boot loop, I don't know if this is the proper way to do it, but I was getting the same problem it would constantly boot loop, and I think I found out what happened. My ext2 wouldn't let the new build create the proper directory while the sd card was in the phone :) . I tried to do everything, reformat my sd card recreate the partitions but it would still boot loop, so I decided to start the phone up without the card in it.

That atleast let me play with the build, then I saw that it said there wasn't an sd card present which made me think to try putting the card in. It detected it and I was able to use ADB to browse around. Initially I was unable to create the directory using adb either, but I used this command "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" and that allowed me to do this: mkdir /system/sd/app

I didn't check my free space settings in the phone before I did this so I'm not sure what the phone was looking at for app space, but after I did that, rebooted the phone, everything started up fine and installing apps went to the sd card and my space said that I had 450 available. I even checked with ADB to see if the apps were installing into the correct place, which they were.

**Disclaimer** I don't know if this is the proper way to do it, and it worked for me, but like every problem and situation is different.
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
I'm still a little confused. Does this build require us to install the maximus Apps2Sd to move the apps, or is it already implemented?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
dont even show up. another photo app i have that automatically finds pics didntt find them either- i can navigate 2 them in astra and view them so i know they are there....

btw: are we meant to run appstosd2 as well? i just installed 1.0 and didnt run anything....
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
:eek: I can't believe that worked... If you want to know what doing that did: it wouldn't mount the ext2 partition to /system/sd for whatever reason so that /system/sd was actually just a directory on your phone. That's why it said it's a read only file system and why remounting system as read/write worked. Then the next time you restarted it mounted the sdcard to /system/sd(making the system completely ignore the folder(s) you put there) and for some miraculous reason was fixed... I'm truly stunned.
[G1 Android Development] t_hsieh:
:D follow what Marcus said, I was mistaken.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
You can use AppsToSD2 to move the apps to the sd card. If you try to use the original it will break your phone. It's not already implemented, so if you didn't already have apps on your ext2 partition of your sd card then you'll have to run that or do it manually. It's also available for free from the first link in my sig.

@ t_hsieh: Actually, no, you have to have an app directory under /system/sd in order for the system to even install new apps to the sdcard. You can use appstosd2 in order to move existing apps from the phone to the sd card. (not to be too much of a stickler but can you edit your post, I don't, and I'm sure the dude doesn't, want conflicting info here)
[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Fu*k me this rocks! Who needs Tmob when we have guys like Dude? Hard to imaging all those lemmings waiting for their "cupcake" when we have this!
[G1 Android Development] parmenti:
Is this now the super super rom Marcus was talking about? Should I update from JF1.5? If I already have app2sd2 will everything work fine? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
ok so re-formated ext2. phone shows 977mb available. so now i have to run the appstosd2. after i run that, how do i verifiy my apps are saving to the sd and not the phone?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
that it is ;)
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
hmm I don't see any possible way for it not to but if you want to make sure you can look at current amount of internal storage available(should be on the order of 800-900MB) then download a bunch of large apps(neocore, weatherchannel, etc) and then go back and see if it went down... or if you already have a bunch of those you can try uninstalling them and seeing if it goes up :D
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Is the Apps2SD2 app supposed to reboot the phone as soon as you click on copy?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Yes. I did that so it refreshes the apps.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Ok just double checking....I got to play around with it now to see if I am getting the low space errors again. Hopefully all is well this time.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
*crosses fingers*
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
So far so good. I was able to update a few apps fine. Now I got to fix the darn icons again lol.

/me hasn't had this much trouble phone hacking since Motorola V360 lol :cool:
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
ok, im reformatting my sd card now. i have app and app-private backed up in linux. i will then flash 1.0. then what? follow the steps on your new thread(marcus) and then what is the best way to reinstall those saved apps in ubuntu to the new apps2sd.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
anyone else having issues seeing pics? Do i need to move them from directories? all are in DCIM folder....
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
You don't have to follow the steps on my thread. Just install and use appstosd2(not the original) and you should be set.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
you are amazing. btw, i know your overclocking app was pulled from the build because it may or may not have caused problems for some people, but it has worked flawlessly for me from the beginning. even when it was built it. so, thank you.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
BUT do we need to use Appstosd2 if we already had apps on sd beforehand?
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
and...can i just copy and paste the apps and private apps that i backed up in linux. and btw, i will be starting over with an empty brand new ext2 partition. i just flash 1.0 run your app and thats it? i dont have to create any folders or directories or anything?
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
No, it'll just copy nothing to the sd card if you do :)

EDIT: And it'll delete the same nothing from the internal memory.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
the not seeing pics thing might be an issue with reading the sd card maybe cos when i go to change notifications settings i can't choose any of my ringtones!!

all it gives me: "default ringtone, silent, and dont panic"

i have the folder with all ringtones etc on my sd card....
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
correct. My app makes the necessary folders if they don't already exist.

@Albert: Hmm that does look fishy... I'd try reformatting the FAT partition. Back everything up first, of course.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Make sure phone is unplugged from USB cable before trying to access anything on the SD card. Otherwise you get nothing.
[G1 Android Development] AustinKnight45:
O so sweet you put in good work here, love it ;)great job!

EDIT

The only thing my available space doesn't go down...
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Alright, I think I got most of these problems solved... I'll hang out for a couple minutes just to make sure and then I'm off to bed.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
tried that. rebooted and still nothing- when i go into ringo pro it gives me the option to use all the songs on my sd card but wont even find the ringtones and notifications i have in my media folder........

will try the reformatting now...
[G1 Android Development] wyseman76:
Ok so I reformated my fat32 and ext2 partitions, wiped and installed. I downloaded a few apps, then using marcus's app i pushed the apps to sd and deleted the internal copies. Then installed a few more apps. So far all is well. Again this is coming from .94 with apps/private/dalvik to sd.

I have to say i'm not a fan of the theme, no disrespect to manup i just find it way to monochromatic for my taste. I do like the notification bar changes and such. I personally look forward to being able to re-theme it myself.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
You sir are a genius. Thanks for all the help
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Here is a nice Boot I made to match the theme.
[G1 Android Development] _xtc_:
Hi all,

i really like the dudes edition and used it since version 0.7.

But with 1.0 the theme changed, and i really don't like this theme.

Can someone tell me how to get back to the old theme without downgrading?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings, _xtc_
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
can't be done as far as i know, since that theme is the default one and no other one exists.....yet
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
Yeah the build is sweet. But this theme really puts me off. I think leave theming to peoples choice...this theme is really putting me off. Blue is not a colour I like...and all I see is blue! Please make a non-blue version ><
[G1 Android Development] i9zero:
I have to agree. The build is fantastic, but I'm not a fan of this theme.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
reformatted sd card but the system still cant find pics or ringtones/notifications etc... this is a huge issue- it means i cannot change any ringtones or any icons or anything at all.....

may go back a version I think.... too many issues at this stage.....

PLUS, not a huge fan of the theme either- too hard to tell if boxes are ticked etc.....i like contrast for these things- themes are more individual likings......
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
I downloaded volume control from the market and turned everything all the way up. Problem solved. :D:p
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
wont play wma now... did it do it before? i am fairly sure it did..... i have decided to wait until the new release if it is tomorrow.... hopefully it fixes this issue.... but it not i think i will flash Haykuro's update until Dude can fix all the issues....

fast though.... very fast...... no dxtop function anymore...... think i prefer his 4 desktops to the 5- with the 4 each is only one swipe away from each other- this is a pain to go from far left to far right.......

BUT... good job Dude.....

Why am i the only one having ringtone/picture issues?
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
props, kudo, thumbs up all around

All i have to say about this build is that it is absolutly sick!

Im thrilled!!!!

Runs amazing!

Thanks Dude for the amazing builds (been with it since .8) they continue to amaze!!!

Thanks marcus for the new apps2sd method, works much smoother and it just seems more logical all around!

Thanks manup for the killer theme, it may not be for some so dont take the neg. Comments to heart, it just wraps up the whole package, all nice and sexy like!!

You can all expect to see donations in the morning (aint trying to mess with that **** from the phone, in bed, at 4am)!

if anyone has any questions to how i sucessfully installed Dudecake 1.0

To totally eliminate any possible problems and to do a lil "spring cleaning" on the file system

NANDroid backup

Used mybackup pro to backup apps (which were originally on my ext2 part. on a 4gb class 6) to fat part. of sd card.

Reformat ext2 partition

Alt+w wipe

Install dudecake 1.0

Run apps2sd2

Reinstall apps (that i decided to keep) from .apks from mybackup pro

This is absolutly not nessicary and definatly overkill, but i had 100+ apps, some duplicates, some non compatible with 1.5, some just not used, so i wanted to start clean from scratch and only install what i would need going forward...

Just figured id share my experiences

As always nothing but thanks for every (useful) member of xda, especially you Dude Marcus and manup for making this possible... much love and goodnight
