Having Prob Udating from old CM build to a newer one... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am currently using CM 3.2 WITHOUT A2sd, i was at one time on Super Hero v2 and did have Apps2sd but didnt like Hero lag so i Nandroid flashed my backup of CM 3.2 now i am trying to go to newest CM build but everytime i flash i get bootloop, with and without wipe. what do i need to do, and since i still have app2sd set up but just not using it, do i need to redo the entire a2sd setup? if anyone can help me with the easiest way to do this it will be greatly appreciated.

Since you mixed some Hero in there, I'd wipe the Ext2 also. In recovery:
Code:
mount /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd*
I think that'll work. Or if you have a card reader just put it in your PC and wipe the ext2.

I agree about wiping the EXT. But if you are not using apps2sd why not just reformat your card and start fresh? A new build always runs better on a fresh card.

[?]Why do my apps re-install by thereselves, after I uninstall and factory reset?

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Depends on what ROM you are using some roms have auto apps2sd. Like I use CyMOD that has it all set for you.
Yeah, my guess is that you're using an Apps2SD ROM that has them stored on the SD card, so as soon as you wipe, they reappear because the wipe doesn't affect the SD card.
Apps2SD will reinstall the apps.
it was on the jf 1.5 adp rom

It's possible, that Market remembers Your phone, and if You had error when installing app, after wipe Market will try to install it one more time (have got one game installing each time I reflash rom, it was funny ).
I don't know how to fix it.

I have tryed that but still it doesn't work. Can you direct me on trying something else please. Many thanks
1.Are your partitions set up correctly? fat32/ext2/swap? When in doubt, backup and reformat all partitions.
2.Which radio/SPL are you using?
3. Which ROM is it you are trying to use? Some require different things to be set up properly.

1.I have the partion set up fat32/ext2/linex I have formated the fat32 but don't know how format the ext2 and linex. How do u do this?
2. I have the 261 radio and can't remember the SPL but I have gone through the steps in the forum on how to root the g1. I even flashed my g1 again. I have a 32b motherboard. That's what it says when I hold the camera and on button.
3. I have tryed many JAChero roms and even the heroblur one. But can't seem to get it working. Do I have to have a class 6 sd card? Or can I work on a class 2?

When you went to bootloader mode and saw you had a 32B board it would show your spl there. But most likely you need to wipe your ext partition. And I would suggest upgrading from ext2 to ext3.

did u wipe your ext3 in console before flashing
you may want to clear your davlik-cache.
from terminal
Code:
su
cd /system/sd/davlik-cache
rm *
exit
exit
If you have ADB set up you can format your ext partition as follows (quoted from a different post)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /system/sd/*
reboot recovery
then flash your update
If I were you, I would back up my sd card to your computer and format the entire thing setting up all of your new partitions using parted from the recovery. Also make sure you remember to upgrade_fs after doing it.
My guess is that you have the wrong SPL. However, be very careful in changing the SPL--make sure that your phone is compatible (check the threads).

i do have the 1.33.2005 spl. i have bought a class 6 sd card. formatted card and partitioned it now installing jachero2.2b. do u recommend or what rom do fink is the fast and stable one.
I have no reason to recommend against the jachero, but I don't run Hero ROMs. Do you have adb installed? If so, when you are booting your phone, run "adb logcat" on your computer. Post what you see when the reboot happens and someone may be able to offer more help.

apps2sd newbie help?

just got my new class 6 card and want to set up apps2sd. im running fresh rom 2.1.2. as i understand apps2sd in built in to it. I will be doing a full wipe and reinstall of the rom. and wanted to set up apps2sd along with it since im currently starting to run low on memory. I was also wondering what the different options in RA are for and the difference between them "ext2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext4?" also which one do i use and do i need to use some space for a swap file?
thanks,

[Q] Any Froyo Roms with Apps2Ext2/3 feature support?

[Q] Any Froyo Roms w/ App2Ext3
I probably have this in the wrong forum, I have been using Telus Lite V4 for some time, and have tried numerous Froyo Roms but I always come back to Telus Lite for the App2Ext2/3 ability and wonder why no one has this feature in the Froyo Roms. I am aware that 2.2 (Froy) has the Apps2SD feature but I get a lot more space left over on my phones internal memory with the Ext3. Anyone know of a ROM thats 2.2 and has t his feature? Thank you in advance.

I am using cronos 1.81, I installed app2ext full in OR update, using the manual from leaked APAC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10994672&postcount=226
I am using the apps I had with leaked ROM that I had in ext2 partition. No need to reinstall, just applied cronos update from OR 3.3, then app2ext update, console to mk system/sd dir -there is a warning that only dalvik in ext in update-, but later all the old apps are installed and running
For me this is best option with ext2
Sorry my english

can anyone help please???
greatly appreciated
I have used the Cyanogen mod roms both 6 (2.2) and 7 (2.3) and when I tried to use the apps2Ext tool, I then reboot and all I ever get is a bootloop. If I use my partitioned sdcard it bootloops, if I use a standard sdcard without the apps2ext hack its fine and boot up, but then no apps2ext. Do either of the above cyanogen mod roms support apps2ext? Also I have tried both GOT and Androidani (or something spelled like that). Thank you again for your feedback. Much appreciated.

[Q] A2SD choices? Which is best?

Heyo N1 community,
About to do my first daily driver flash so I'm trying to make sure I'm doing everything right.
Have a quick questions regarding the various Apps2SD choices.
As far as I know, there are market apps designed to get the job done, but as I understand it there are also scripts? And these are smoother in their implementation?
The only one I've seen is the Darktremor A2SD script, which is still a beta and looks like it's been problematic for some.
Are there other options, or is the Darktremor A2SD the only one? If there are other options, is Darktremor's still the best?
Thanks for any and all help fellas.
personal choice although most devs rec what a2sd to use such as
roms like medroid ics are built in
i use dt beta4 on cm7 roms with zero issues
Used S2E for like a year or so with no issues. Has a useful GUI too.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Awesome thanks for the advice and info fellas. gonna check these bad boys out right now.
Do u guys know if a2sd works with miui still? It used to work for me but then I updated to a newer version (currently on 1.12.16, I know its old now but after my a2sd failed to work and my nandroid backup didn't restore properly I just quit updating). Just wondering if they fixed a2sd in the later versions or not, if so I will flash that. Thanks
haven't ran it for awhile, but not aware it won't, maybe other issues on your flash
redo sdcard and ext and try
start a thread and ask on forum, someone will inform you

I've tried to use Dt beta4 many times, but it seems to do nothing. I install a new rom with a fresh ext4 partition, and I set up my phone, and then I go back into recovery and flash the .zip for Dt beta4. It successfully installs, but when i check my internal storage, it still shows up as 200mb or so, and apps continue to be installed on internal storage. Where am I going wrong?
In terminal, type:
su
a2sd reinstall
a2sd cachesd
Have you done it?

+1 for curiosity's sake
I use IA2SD script.
I'm on MiUI 2.3.2 ROM which has A2SD enabled with it. Though Dark Tremors seems to be a popular one from what I've seen on these forums.
