This is a new one for me. If all else fails, you might try re-formatting your sd card. I know it's a pain, but if the card is being set to read only, then I am guessing that there might be an error on your card somewhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Are you using the oem sdcard that came with the phone? Word to the wise, that sdcard is a POS. Mine broke after only 2 months. Do yourself a favor, buy a 16gb Class 6 card and be done with it.

1) You could attempt to go into Spare Parts > Quick Commands > Read-Write and see if that helps in some way.

2) Go into recovery and mount the card and then run a repair on it.

3) Take the card out and put it back again.

If your card is not even showing up in recovery, I'm afraid it is probably farked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ycats:
so with 4.4 beta, do we wipe cache and devlik first?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Solved the unmountable SDCard problem!

Through process of elimination I went through the various apps that could be interacting with my SDCard.

I had been using a program called "Swapper2". This sets up a Linux Swap file to help make things run smoother during multi-tasking. Anyway, I turned it off and bingo, card mounts.

So, in conclusion, if you are having card mounting issues and you are also using Swapper2 or some other Swap File, turn it off and see if that doesn't solve the problem.

LP vs ADW is really a matter of taste. It's too bad you can't fuse the best features of both.

LP is coming out with his brand new completely rewritten version any day now. It will probably have most of the new gizmos that adw has. Anyway, something for everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
Yeah I'm a diehard adw person. I tried lp for a week and just couldn't like it. Its a great launcher. Just not for me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nkawal:
yeah, what are the widgets being used?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nkawal:
What widgets are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
ok 4.4 beta I:

non-apps2sd version (most popular, so might as well stick to that as the beta)

skinned all the menu icons

opt gmaps

changed a few taksbar icons

mostly tiny graphical changes

hulu working with new flash player version

updated adfree

please look into the menu icons mostly to see if i missed any (if u using apps that r not on the rom dont expect the menus to match).

gmaps nav worked for me without going into maps first... but it wont, get to nav through maps and it will for sure.

hopefully i didnt miss anything and i will have less things to work on with 4.4 final so i can move on to the white theme in peace.

might need a full wipe, so nand and flash, if u have issues... try fully wiping also.

here is the link:

im off to sleep a little now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I have a feeling it may be the specific app you are trying to load and not something systemic to the rom.

To sort of "force" the app to install, you can try the Sideload Wonder Machine as described here (http://forum.androidcentral.com/and...40770-ac-sideload-wonder-machine-windows.html).

It allows you to install apps on your phone from your PC and is made for just these types of issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Can you throw us Apps2SD peeps a version? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Those are actually two separate widgets:

not sure if any of you guys have heard or seen this anywhere else but I guess xda is talking about pulling all sbc kernels off the forums so if you use them, you might want to grab them now before they possibly disappear.

What ever happened to free will? They've been using these kernels on the Nexus for far longer with no ill effects yet a few jokers claim their cheap replacement batteries were fried due to the SBC kernels.... give me a ****ing break! Show me the proof that it was these kernels and not any number of other variables! XDA is really going downhill fast!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well, since it seems you are the only one having this issue (much like my sdcard mounting problem), logic would dictate that the problem is local to your rig.

Couple questions:

1) Are you using Apps2SD or non-Apps2SD version? If you are using Apps2SD, did you move your Dalvik Cache to your SDCard as described here: (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10454445&postcount=3070).

2) If you are using Apps2SD version, are you also using the separate (but completely different) Apps2SD .apk? If so, you are doubling up apps on your sdcard and confusing the system. If you are using the Apps2SD version you don't need to manually move apps to your SDCard ever - it is done automatically for you in the background.

2) What do you use to backup your phone? If you used Titanium Pro and came here from a different rom, when you restored, did you restore "All System Data"? If so, that will cause you problems. The only solution is a total wipe and reflash and then restore "Apps Only". Do not restore data.

Use the Sherlock Homes method of deduction. List all of the things is CANNOT be and what is left, no matter how improbable, is likely the cause.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
When in doubt, wipe it out. If it worked, then it didn't work and the rom itself has not changed, it has to be something you did on your end, no matter how improbable that may seem to you.

Just full wipe and reflash. Keep track of what you do and if it breaks again, try and pin down what you did right before it broke.

Awesome!! Can't wait! I just donated! Thanks for the hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aamikam:
i cant really think of anything that might cause it unless u didnt wipe everything before flashing... u said u did... maybe try using RA instead.

also... u should probably flash all the radio/wimax/nv etc. to make sure u wont have issues with other things.

Another weird issue, and this has happened each time I flashed the 4.0 ROM. After of running the ROM some apps just disappear! I can't explain it, but the way I noticed it each time was because I was looking for the app I used to restore my apps and settings and it was gone. Also, in the market it appears as uninstalled and the market won't download anything. It seems to start the download, and just stops after 3 seconds.

My Experience

For what it is worth, here is what I experienced upgrading to 4.4:

Coming from 4.3 apps2sd version, no wipe (yes, I live on the edge), flashing 4.4 and everything came up fine with the exception of "double" widgets and shortcuts on the desktop. That meant the "second" instance of some widgets were constantly updating, until I realized what was happening and dragged the "top" copies off into the trash. Started doing that with all my "top" copies of the shortcuts and realized they didn't seem to be harming anyone.

This is not a complaint, I have experienced this before, especially when switching between non-apps2sd and apps2sd versions. I just posted this so in case anyone else is as lazy as I am :o and tries a no-wipe install, this may happen to you, but its really no biggy!

Loving the performance, even with this non-apps2sd version! Thanks again Mik!

Haha thanks for the heads up, I was just a lazy as you were. It didn't sound like mik was doing any big changes so I figured I'd just take the chance and flash over the top. Everything is working good for me except the hulu app which opens to a white screen, this could just be because I didn't do a fresh install. I got GPS fixes in both maps and navigation in less than 5 seconds but I've never had issues with GPS before so that's no change for me.

Update: hulu works fine with a fresh install (user data, cache and davlik)

you need to set permissions for the file, then give it a hot restart

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
You honestly should not have to use a Task Manager at all with Android 2.2 or higher. The reason you have additional instances of GMaps running is that you may have other programs which access GMaps for one reason or another. There is a sound argument that Task Managers actually burn more juice by constantly checking app states than the apps themselves burn by sitting dormant in the background.

Short version, I wouldn't worry about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I think as you peruse the forums you will find that any thread which has a lot of fighting also has the same short list of instigators subscribing to that thread. They behave like "Computer Guy" on SNL anytime someone asks a question they find "unworthy".

The font is called "Peanuts", If I remember right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jklong03:
I hadn't heard that argument, but it is sound reasoning (I know, shocking since I heard it from you!) so I will remove the Task Manager app and see how things go from there. What the hey, thats why we have Titanium after all, isn't it!

So does 2.2 do a good enough job of memory management that there isn't the need to free up memory?

Thanks for the tip.

Using estrongs file manager for a 'root explorer' isn't working for me. I'm able to navigate my files when not in root mode, but a quick switch over to root explorer puts numbers in front if my folders and tells me that they are all empty....

Just a fyi if anybody cares. I flashed to 4.4 beta to test and while I had it up I backed up the new flash in titanium then restored to 4.3, deleted the old flash, installed the newest one from the market, restored the new version from 4.4 over the one I just installed then rebooted and it seems to be working fine. Not sure what changed in the new flash version and if anybody else has released a hacked version yet but the above method worked for me if you care to do the same.

Dissapearing Apps Revisited

Well, if course since I updated from 4.3 apps2sd to 4.4 Beta I without too many issues, I couldn't leave well enough alone!

I tried to flash the 4x5 Rosie workspace over the top, and Voilà, disappearing apps came back again!

Here is just a thought to maybe help Mik debug this,

has everyone who has had the disappearing app issue used apps2sd version before?

I am thinking that the 4x5 workspace somehow doesn't pickup the pointer for the apps that are installed on the sdcard under apps2sd versions.

Titanium complains if you try to restore the "missing" apps that they do exist, and in my case won't reinstall them at all.

Update: Just Reflashed V 4.4 Beta I over what I had and the apps were back, so it was definately related to the 4x5 Workspace.
