[Q] Can't install protected (app-private) apps - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
First things first:
PDA: I9000XWJM6
PHONE: I9000XXJM3
CSC: I9000OXAJM1
Rooted, CFLagFix applied if that matters.
I flashed it recently to the mentioned ROM. After flash, I've got strange problem when I'm trying to install any protected apps (ones which go to app-private folder, I'm guessing they're all protected?). When I'm trying to install them, they report success in installing, but there is default icon used in applications' menu, and instead of name I can see only the beginning part of application's package. When I'm trying to launch, launcher force closes
Anyway, I tried to debug this problem. So here is what I've got, the example app is QR Contacts. First, relevant part of logcat file is attached.
As far as I can understand, it all starts with PackageManager unable to move some files to app-private, and all following warning and errors happens because file hadn't been moved, so it's not where it supposed to be
But, then again: I adb shell'ed, and as root (and as system user) I CAN copy some files to this destination. Furthermore, here are my persmissions for this folder:
Code:
# ls -l
drwxrwx--x system root 2010-09-16 16:44 gps
drwxrwx--t system misc 2010-09-15 12:08 misc
drwxrwx--x wifi wifi 2010-09-13 00:34 wifi
drwxrwx--x shell shell 2010-09-12 23:14 local
drwxrwx--x system system 2010-09-16 16:49 data
drwxrwx--x system system 2010-09-16 16:23 app-private
drwxrwx--x system system 2010-09-16 16:49 app
drwx------ root root 2010-09-15 22:56 property

drwxrwxrwx root root 2010-09-15 22:54 dump
drwxrwx--x system system 2010-09-16 16:49 dalvik-cache
drwxrwx--- root root 2010-09-12 21:57 lost+found
drwxrwxrwx system system 2010-09-16 14:03 anr
drwxrwxr-x system system 2010-09-16 17:14 system
drwx------ system system 2010-09-12 21:58 backup
drwxrwxrwx system system 2010-09-16 16:45 cflf
drwxr-xr-x system system 2010-09-15 23:16 tombstones
As You can see, the same permissions are used for app folder - and normal apps can be installed without problems. So, what about free space then?
Code:
# busybox df -h

Clearly, I do have enough space, or so it appears.
So, right now I'm clueless. Googled for couple hours, searched this forum and found nothing. Does anyone have idea what's causing this problem?

Same problem here, any solutions?

if you can download the .apk file you can install it from your SD card
even if you can not download them from Android Market because you are listed in an area of no valid

apps2sd working, but /data size increasing?

In short: When I install a new app, the app gets installed in /system/sd just fine (/data/app and /data/app-private symlinks work just fine) , but /data increases a little too.
before installing seesmic and pandora df shows:

Notice that /data increased by 300KB. Anyone know why?
why is my /data partition 31% used?
Yes, the size of the /data partition does increase even with apps2sd enabled... and from a quick analysis of the /data partition (with apps2sd enabled), I noticed this...
1. the applications are installed on the sd card and the /app & /app-private are symlinked
2. the application information is stored in /data/system/packages.xml (kinda like the windows registry)
3. some application data like shared prefs, extra libs (if any) are stored in /data/data
i guess this accounts for the usage size increase!!!
It looks like the apps are getting is installed to the sd card fine, but the app data still gets stored in the internal ROM
/data/data has 157 folders and is 52MB
/system/sd/app-private has 0 files and is 1K
Therefore it looks like either the apps2sd implementation is incomplete, or didnt get installed correctly.
Anyone tried moving /data/data to /system/sd/app-data and creating a symlink for it? (trying this now...)
darn it. after a reboot the OS removed my symlink, created a new /data/data folder, and apps are still writing to this folder now. lucky i made a backup.
... maybe while booting it saw that the /system/sd/app-data link was invalid (not mounted yet), and hence re-created the folder.

need help with app2sd badly.. pls

i think i managed to get the app2sd installed.
however i'm unable to confirm if its working. it appears my /system/sd is there but when i went to /data/app and did a pwd
it appears the prompt still return /data/app instead of /system/sd/app
anyone know what i did wrong and what i can do to address the symbolic link?
Thanks

Low on space...

I just installed CyanogenMod 6.1.1 with Darktremor Apps2SD and wildmonks .35.10 kernel.
When it 1st booted it said that i'm low on space. If I look at internal storage I only have 4mb left When I apply the "a2sd cachesd" it reboots and after that I have 51mb left internal storage.
Any solution on this one?
PS: Yes, I did full wipe
EDIT:
Just did full wipe again and installed MIUI stock ROM and same issue, 19mb internal storage left...
EDIT2:
Reïnstalled CyanogenMod (app2sd) with all my apps,.. 45mb internal storage left It's not a disaster, but before I had 180mb internal memory, so there must be something wrong...
I have found something similar here, but no solution

Hi,
Have you try to flash your the bootloader ? (then wipe data/cache and install new rom)
My bootloader is unlocked. Radio/SPL flashed to latest. Wiped many times, did a factory reset. Didn't help...
It looks like it doesn't wipe everything... But what can be the problem then?

Have you tried with a new/different SD ?
Can you post the output of a2sd check to verify that DT is set up and functioning correctly?
a2sd is working because my apps are all on my ext3 partition, checked it in Titanium Backup. If it was not working then I hadn't enough internal memory (only 4mb) to install all my apps
Tried another SD card too, same result, it's something with /data I think not wiping correctly or something.

Have you try to manually delete all files in /data ?

or even just looking at the contents of that directory with ls -al /data? Should indicate all the files there, along with the size of files and directories - will also verify that all of your symlinks are in place and functioning.
This is what I get in Terminal app after applying "ls -al /data" command.

Everything looks fine there, for the most part.
How many apps do you have installed? Keep in mind that each app will still have some amount of storage in /data/data - it can add up if you have 180+ apps installed.
For the moment I have like 25 apps installed. So, not that much..
I hate to keep hassling you for further information... but could you post the output of df -h please, to show the breakdown of storage usage on your file system?
Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$df -h

Your /data is really high ! It should not be that big! Could you check the size of folders "app", "data" and "backup" ? (or list 1st level folder size in /data if it's ok for you)
Can you give me the command or where I can find it? Sorry, don't know to much of these things..
EDIT:
In Astro app, when I go into /data it says it's empty..

Command is :
Code:
du -m -d 1 /data
du = disk usage
-m = size in megabytes
-d 1 = depth=1
About Astro, it's the same for some file manager as you need explicit root access. That's why before exectue "du" command, you may have to type "su" to get root privilege.
This what I get..
Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# du -m -d 1 /data
0牋牋牋 /data/property
0牋牋牋 /data/backup
0牋牋牋 /data/dontpanic
1牋牋牋 /data/jit
0牋牋牋 /data/misc
5牋牋牋 /data/data
0牋牋牋 /data/local
0牋牋牋 /data/system
0牋牋牋 /data/lost+found
7牋牋牋 /data
#
In Terminal app the chinese signs can't be seen, it's just empty space.
Like this..
Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# du -m -d 1 /data
0 /data/property
0 /data/backup
0 /data/dontpanic
1 /data/jit
0 /data/misc
5 /data/data
0 /data/local
0 /data/system
0 /data/lost+found
7 /data
#
Ok so you have 14 MB used on your /data folders.
Now try with "-a" option (du -m -d 1 -a /data) to list all files in /data folder, as it might come from files in /data folder
-a = List all (not only folder)

Why is internal system memory full when it only occupies 1/5 of internal file system?

Hello there,
i am using a rooted Galaxy S Plus with stock firmware (GT-I9001 Android 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD.XXKG3)
When using Total Commander to check folder sizes i get the following results:
/mnt 3,7G
/sdcard 3,5G
/system 217,1M
/proc 19,9M
/etc 1,9M
/lib 177,8k
all other folders 0
combined file size of all files directly in / ~800k
The root info shows the following information:
SD-card 1,9G / 4,9G (internal storage from the S plus)
SD-card (2) 792,1M / 1,8G (external sdcard)
File system root 45,4 M / 1,3 G (HERE IS THE PROBLEM/CONFUSION!!!)
Settings>SD card and phone storage
SD card
Total space 1,86GB
Available space 792MB
USB storage
Total space 4,99GB
Available space 2,00GB
System storage
Available space 45,44MB
So my phone tells me "LOW ON SPACE" because File system root is only 45M left and this would mean 1.25G occupied space... looking on the other table.. i am not even using 250M on the system...
Where is the rest of the aprox 1G system space!?
I have freed so much space in the past and still the system gets full and running out of space, without the 250M raising... it was around 350M couple of months ago when i last did a cleanup because of lack of space... and the ~100MB are GONE again.. and i have no clue where.. and how the hell i could claim the missing 1GB on the system storage (not the internal sd storage).
Any advice/help/hint could help.... i had to uninstall so many apps i have been using the past WITHOUT ISSUES or low space.. it looks like something is eating up space in the shadows and not giving it back. -.-
I have already checked several "how to free up system space" links. But i can't free something that is not there.
DiskUsage shows 1.3G in /data as "SYSTEM DATA" without showing what files or folders are there.
P.S. If any more info is required (which i can't think of right now) i am glad to provide if possible/applicable...
Some additional info
System usage claims 1.2G of 1.3G in use for "System storage"
But looking at the output of "du" .. there is only 300M in use and not 1.2G!
The Tool DiskUsage just shows 1.2G in the /data folder as "System data" without showing explicit WHAT data and WHERE. The /data/data folder is listed separately with its contents.
if you have any hint on where my storage is gone.. drop me a comment on my profile on Steam. My user id is: Autositz

[Root]Greyhat Root SM-G925VVRS4CPI2 MM 6.0.1

Update 5:3:2017
I have returned, to this thread after a long absense.
I'm sorry. Really.
But I do still have my S6 g925v. I also have S3, S5, and S7 verizon devices.
I've been absent because I am not testing my theories only on the Verizon S6 edge specifically. I feel that as of right now much, much, progress has been made via development on the AT&T Note 5 platform.
I am hard at work. Reading as always when I can.
I won't give up on these devices no matter how many times they throw their malware my way.
They are my devices and I will use them if I want to.
I'm preparing a new thread that aims to organize all of the threads I've made across the last few months. There is just a lot of information I've had to learn on my own is all.
And I still don't have all the formal definitions yet.
But remember. I've had a virus twice now, that installs itself via a fake OTA system update.

First off, I want to thank you for spending so much time on this root strategy. Reading everything seems like you have been living a nightmare. I am not a developer myself so I can only help by spending the word of this thread. Many users and devs declared a root strategy dead, that is why I think you don't have many replies. @trailblazer101 seems like he is working on something similar, as you have previously stated. Have you messaged him or any other developers?
While it's hard to follow exactly what you've managed to do, I do hope you've been able to achieve root on later MM builds. Although from my experience that is nearly impossible (without eng-boot, or a modified kernel, etc), due to dm-verity. I can provide to you the ability for shell root, where you can dump the system partition or any other. Please PM me for details on that regard. I'll be able to test whatever you do manage to have.

I just started messing with my verizon 6e. I am rooted still and wanted to understand all the awesome things you wrote about.
I used a root shell to get in:

drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 0 Dec 23 00:36 .
[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 .
chmod: .: Read-only file system
OK, its read only, then I did this:
1|[email protected]:/ # mount -w -o remount /
[email protected]:/ # ls -lad .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 0 Dec 23 00:36 .
[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 .
[email protected]:/ # ls -lad
drwxrwxrwx 25 root root 0 Dec 23 00:36 .
Then I did the same thing to /system:
[email protected]:/ # ls -lad /system
drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Aug 16 19:54 /system
[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 /system
chmod: /system: Read-only file system
1|[email protected]:/ # mount -w -o remount /system
[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 /system
[email protected]:/ # ls -lad /system
drwxrwxrwx 28 root root 4096 Aug 16 19:54 /system
[email protected]:/ #
Now I can write to the / and system partition.
Where is the bootloader located? I would like to try poke around to see if I find something.
Appreciation and offer to help
I just want to say thanks for all of your harday work so far and express my interest in this project going forward. I don't have much experience with finding root exploits or android dev, but I have followed root procedures for several different phones and know my way around add and the Linux she'll in general. I am also a software engineer. If there is anything I can do to help from beta testing to providing dumps let me know. I have a rooted 925V Running 5.0.2 OE2.

Delgoth, why did you delete what you previously wrote? :/
Degloth we're anxiously waiting for good news from you!
I don't understand, why care what anyone says, we would all be happy for root
Because I put out some information without giving it, its proper due. And I put out a repo full of some things, some did not want put out that way.
Because of it, I've ended up losing most of my own personal data and years of other research data.
Because nothing seemed so wrong until I went public about my initial infection to Verizon and XDA. Call me paranoid, but a lot of stuff happened on all my devices after I started this thread.
Everytime I've breached one plateau, I've been hit with an attack forcing me to re setup & download just to go the next step. Only to have it happen over again.
The real problem being my Internet connection, and my original Android Development Environment is sized around 75GB for all the libraries and sources. So it's just been a long frustrating process this whole time.
Sorry to hear about this, I'm sure we are all grateful for what you've done, and if you continue your progress we would all be happy for a release
