eno, sounds like your telling me to stick with backing up my apps and private folder using ubuntu and copying things over with the -a permissions and so that it doesnt change the info when copying over, then do stuff, then put the things back over like Ive always done, then just rebuild the market data manually again. So far that method has never failed me yet.

Id love a easier GUI one sure, but I dont know what everyone is really using thats recommended. Even if I adb pull, not sure the easy way to put back, since again, I used to copy the files over with the permissions etc to linux then restored back.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Mysticales,

Here's what I'd recommend ... first, definitely perform a nandroid backup, then backup your entire ext partition of your sdcard.

That way if things go wrong, you can simply copy back the ext contents to your sdcard and perform a nandroid restore and be back to your functioning build.

Then ...

1) reformat your ext partition.

2) perform a data wipe.

3) install the rooted base (do not reboot after install from recovery)

4) immediately install the expansion pack.

5) reboot/boot up the new install.

6) sign-in to google, etc.

7) reboot into recovery.

8) change into the directory on your computer where your app directory was backed-up, then perform the following in adb shell

mount system
mount system/sd

9) Then adb push all the apk's from the app directory to /system/sd/app.

10) reboot/boot the phone normally. This will reinstall all the apps upon boot.

11) Manually reinstall all your protected apps from the market (as they reside in app-private and I'd encourage you not to attempt to restore these app types)

12) redo your settings, etc.

This is a clean and virtually solid method of getting your apps reinstalled in mass order. Only catch is you have to redo the app settings, but it will make for a much more stable/clean install.

And if anything goes horribly wrong, you can always restore.

Yo bro!

Thansk!! :D
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
ok, so if im coming from another build, or lets say switching from adp to aosp, i back up my ext, put it on the sd and nandroid.. now, where do i put the ext partition, on the root of the sd? in the specific nandroid folder?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This has been noted from time to time ... typically a reboot is the fix. Usually it's a one time occurrence upon updating. It is a rarity, but does happen.

So reboot away! If that doesn't fix it (>95% it will) ... then a fresh install would be in order.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
ideally you would backup your ext partition to your computer, but you could (if space permits) copy it's contents to a folder on your FAT32 partition with no issues.

It's just a single point of failure is all, the sdcard that is.

Just like, for me personally, when I perform a nandroid backup, I actually copy this off to my computer for an "extra" safer copy. (as well as my ext partition contents)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jdl14:
tried several times to install both the tmo and adp roms. Then the new updated expansion packs. Everytime maps isnt showing up. I try to download it from the market. It downloads but wont install?

Am I missing something?

I always format my sd card clean with two partitions. Wipe, then update. I've never had problems before with maps..
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Grr!

Not a clean upgrade for me. Apps broke, tried fix permissions, fix apk uid mismatches, repair ext, etc, and didn't work. Was resigned to reinstalling just the broken (FC'ing) apps, but then realized I was getting FC from some system apps too such as the voice dialer (which I don't even use), and so I ended up having to wipe. Not happy, but hey, it was working, so I shouldn't have upgraded on a work night.

I updated my phone with 2.3.1.1. But now it won't sync with google any more. The phone is logged out of the google account, but i can't log in because of an force close!
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Best I can tell, this isn't a 100% clean upgrade as we've come to expect. You might try fix permissions from recovery, if that doesn't work, then wipe time.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:

great rom just had a quick question, doe anyone know if its possible to restore SMS, from a different ROM, i have eugenes hero rom and works great and i have installed 2.3.1.1 and wondering if the sms from hero can be transfered over.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Sure, you can make a backup of the messages with MyBackupPro for example and restore them after flashing the new Rom.
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
SU27 just reinstall the expansion pack and you are good to go.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
enomdater

that's my bad - LOL - in great anticipation of the next release i added the 2.3.2 line into the list .. this has been corrected now .. no more notifications

side note: i added some of the themes into the app .. if you select them from the list it will always show an update .. just select the appropriate expansion from the list and the update goes away .. so anyone interested in trying some themes .. go for it
[G1 Android Development] frankdr:
cool

i like this ROM!!!
[G1 Android Development] rbaggio00:
i just installed 2.3.1.1, and it keeps getting stuck at the android screen, ive wiped 2 times re installed

Second Partition

do you still have files on the second partition?? you may need to clear the dalvik-cache and/or data if it's stored there .. is it "stuck" on the android screen or does the android screen keep reloading .. i have noticed a couple different scenarios .. android stops flashing and freezes .. android flashes then starts over flashing .. android flashes then goes black
[G1 Android Development] Weees:
I have a wierd problem......I wiped all the partitions using AmonRA 1.4 recovery then flashed base rom and flashed expansion. (ADP 1.6) and surprisingly everything installed on my phone and no Apps2sd was carried out ? All applications are being installed on the phone memory. Shouldnt ADP 1.6 have Apps2SD by default ?

I have an EXT3 partition of 500 mb.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Download and install the matching Theme template for your build. This will give you back the stock look.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yes it should ... ensure you have installed v2.3.1.1 (not 2.3.1) and reboot. It should be working.

What changed from 2.3.1 to 2.3.1.1? I checked the change log text file, nothing there, anything major?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Updated to 2.3.1.1 from 2.2.1, and after boot, I get a black screen.

No partitions on my SDCard.
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Hey eno, so far.. after I pushed the stuff back, its booting up to just a black screen after the android screen, kinda odd, worked fine after I upgraded, untill I pushed the apps back. Letting it sit a few more mins, but anyone else seen this issue yet? Ideas?

Guess im not only one with the black screen.. odd. =/

Btw if I wipe, do I need to install the expansion pack again or no?
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
just gave this rom a try (both aosp & t-mobile eu) and experienced the following issues:

- I had to reformat the sd-card in order to install 2.3.1.1 coming from cm 2.5 I only got a black screen after applying the updates. the base update was working, but as soon as I applied the extras I got stuck at a black screen on reboot (boot animation showed up then black screen...)

- The modified Google Maps app seems to be "broken". I wanted to try the navi feature outside the usa and noticed that the map data is somehow of the track (maps are incorrect => satellite view and map view dont match...)

- Although it is a T-Mobile EU version, the only supported language for the android onscreen keyboard is "english"...so there is no auto-completion, no suggestion feature etc..
[G1 Android Development] su27:
I've just noticed tags related to this thread and it made me laugh :)
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
neo, Im not having a issue after installing the base rom, then the expansion right after that back to back. Just when I put my apps back in, thats when I get that black screen of death. =/
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You can try running fix_permissions from recovery. No guarantees here.

Otherwise you could try olearyp's method (previously posted)

If all else fails you can always manually reinstall your apps. :( sux I know

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
In a shameful act of pride I didn't note the difference in the changelog :p

If it's not effecting you, you can wait for 2.3.2, which is posting today.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Ok I JUST solved the issue. The issue is this, You CANNOT AT ALL push or restore the apps-private folder. You can ONLY do the apps folder. So eno when you "encouraged" not to do the apps-private change that to "You cannot"

Ill be updating your post guide to me with the steps I used for a upgrade for others to follow and have something to read on. =) (Which would be good to update in your 1st posts)

ok my apk files showed up...working with noobs is a pain I understand...you are awesome for the patience....i dont care what everybody else says...one question and you wont here from me...till the next update..hehehehehh

if my internal memory is gonna go down...was 74...now 68...what happens when it hits 0???? like i said the ext is around 500mb....
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
What everybody else says????????? lmao?

Ok, you will likely never hit 0 my friend, not with this Apps2SD. What happens in the beginning is you quickly go into the ~50-55MB 'ish range. After that it will slow greatly, regardless of the amount of apps you load.

Trust me, this Apps2SD implementation is solid. If you ever get under ~20MB on your /data, it's time to clean your apps up anyways.

So yeah, if you ever hit under ~15MB, PM me and tell you how to fix it, lol. No worries mate! You are good to go.

Hey DOHCtor,

Here is what is automatic ...

Apps2SD, Expansion2SD and Compcache.

If this is all you require, then yes it's automatic. (I'm pretty sure this is your setup)

And yeah, you do not need the userinit.sh, everything you might want ... that's not on by default ... can now be turned on through 'expsetup'.

Is there any possibility to activate auto-rotate of home-screen/SMS...?
[G1 Android Development] korami:
Hi there,

After having rooted my phone yesterday for the first time with the 1-click-root method, I installed cyanogen's 4.0.1 rom. Since it had a usability issue I couldn't get over, I searched for a rooted "official" rom and found these here.

So I installed the TMO EU version 1.5.2, downloaded from Androidspin.com site though (I found that earlier), and everything is beautiful. I have the same behavior as before rooting, but with all the advantages rooting offers.

However, now I keep receiving OTA updates which I have to cancel (I suppose accepting it would bring me to unrouting, which I don't want).

Is there a way to deactivate these OTA updates? Am I correct in saying that installing the update would set the phone back as non-rooted? And finally, shouldn't the 1.5.2 version already have the patch that TMO tries to push via OTA (in which case I'm wondering why I'm still being offered the OTA update)?

Thanks in advance. I only have 2 days in the rooted android world, so help will be appreciated.

Urgent! PLZ HELP! Phone won't boot back up after update

Hi

I've followed the procedure and my phone won't boot up anymore.

I don't understand why that is, I've done several other updates in the past and this never happened.

Can you advise me on what can I do now?

I tried all I can, what I would like to try is to put a different update.zip on the sdcard, but my mini-sd-reader isnt working... Is there a way to do it without it? something like mount the usb from the recovery console?

Thanks,

[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Hi enomther.

Really nice work with your expansion-pack. :)

Could you please recompile your kernel so that we get a working tun.ko-module (needed for vpn-connections)? ;)

That would be really great.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi eladkatz,

What updates have you done? Are you referring to my TheOfficial Updates?

Hopefully you are using cyanoagen's 1.4 recovery, if you are. Here's how to utilize your USB in recovery ... boot into recovery (Home+Power).

Once there, goto the console (Alt+x).

Press <ENTER> key to get your prompt#.

Connect you USB cable to your phone and computer.

Type the following at the prompt ...

ums_enable

Copy the update.zip file you need over to your phone.

Then make sure you type ...

ums_disable

Disconnect your phone from your comptuer and type

recovery

This will take you back to recovery where you can flash the update.zip

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi harry_m,

v1.6 on it's way. The v1.6 will have all the normal kernel modules JF users are accustomed too, plus some additional ones of course. ;)

I'm just now getting feedback from MyTouch users indicating v1.6 is ready for release, so things are looking good. So very soon v1.6 will come out, which will sport the kernel and modules you desire.

Hopefully you can bare with me a couple days so that I can ensure I bring a sound release to market!

How can I uninstall the vsapps? I installed the widgets and the HTC_IME, but I don't like them really, I stay with Better Keyboard and weather widget :)

How can I enable auto-rotation of the home-screen?

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This a interesting experience indeed ...

Please do the following for me ...

Open up the TerminalApp, and enter the following commands...

su
cd /cache
busybox ls -R

And copy back the output to this thread so I can have a look.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi ID,

I saw your previous post. A vsapp uninstaller will be in v1.6, till then, here is the work around ...

Open up TerminalApp and do the following ...

su
cd /system/sd/expstick/vsapp
rm *IME*.apk
rm *weather2.1.apk
exit
exit

reboot your phone.

This will undue all IME woes and the weather widget.

As far as auto-rotate, first you must turn this on in Settings, Sound & Display, Orientation.

Then, it's a well know fact that the out-of-the-box HomeLauncher will not auto-rotate, even with this setting. So you must install either Cyanogen's or Rogro82's from the resources section.

Well, I had 2.3.1.1 but I guess something went wrong with my partition when I wiped. So I went into Recovery and I ran the fix ext partition option and after that I rebooted and the OS did an AWESOME thing. it automatically recognised the fixed ext3 partition and automatically moved all the apps I had already installed into it. IT WAS AWESOME !!!! or rather incredible, to have done that automatically ......... Im really really impressed !! So far this new rom is Blazzing fasst !!! and everything seems to be working fine !.

No I thought 1.9 was donut... Its a donut build for sure, its just I installed it on a friends phone and his upgrade is long overdue lol so I am waiting for 2.3.2 but just hope since the upgrades were not sequential there won't be any undesirable effects...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
it *should* be able to be upgraded. Of course perform a nandroid backup and backup any ext partitions first (just to be safe)

But there's a high likelihood it will be a successful upgrade.

[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Well, didnt bug me too much to redo the private ones. As for the push, all I know is, it worked and even had the market updated so it knew which apps were installed and needed updating. Since the adb push puts the files there and on booting up the G1 installed them all itself. =) I guess adb install just lets you do it.

Dont know the app, so sometimes I tend to stick with something I can trust with ease too =D But link me and Ill look at it. =)

apps2sd in expsetup

I've been trying to get apps2sd to work, but when I go into expsetup and choose option 5 to Install Virtual System-apps2sd, the system returns "No update.zip files found in the installation directory." I'm not sure if its trying to install an update pack or what, but when I check the phone settings its still only showing like 85.41MB and that keeps going down when I install apps. Its an awesome rom outside of that.
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
I think long as you had the rom and extension installed, and the sd card partitioned, didnt it do it automatically? I know the space will STILL decrease, however thats due to the /data folder, since that doesnt run on the sd card. So you will still lose some space each install, but not as much, I have over 100 apps and Ive never dropped below 40, atm since the upgrade tho, im at 80s with all my apps.

[G1 Android Development] Lokean13:
I've read on the apps2sd forum, that some people will see the amount of space on the ext partition added in with the total space, is that not true? So I tried an experiment and installed Notepad from the Market, my total space before was 82.79MB, Notepad is a 41K program, and my space after was 82.78 so that seems to me that the whole 41 went to internal memory, but I could be wrong. Is there a way to check and see how much space is used on the ext3 partition? I'm not fantastic with linux, but I'm learning with this.
