Hi,
Is it "ok" for Samsung to require "reset to default settings" after update of firmware? I mean, if i save my apps on the SD card for example, will the reset delete my apps?

I just updated to 2.3.3 (JVH) through Kies, and I couldnt remember me having any lagfix option activated, but the phone got stuck at bootlogo, so i installed fugumod-kernel, and got the phone booting, but it gives some error in CWM saying that it cant open or mount cache/recovery/...
Also under "Mount and Storage", only "System" is mounted, I can mount the others, but after I reboot the phone, they are unmounted again. While in the phone, if I check storage option of the phone and SD-card, it says its 1.81gb free (as if its been a wipe) but I did not do a factory reset by myself, and also if you check under "Manage Applications" you can see all my previously installed applications, but they all have "SD" written in bottom of the pic that shows a SD-card aswell, and they take 0.00B, if i press on any of them for clearing data/move to sd card etc, under "storage" it says "Installed on device(Default)" and only thing that is pressable is "Uninstall".
I also tried to reinstall one of the applications, that I have the actual apk on the phone and it says:
"Replace application
The application you are installing will replace another application.
All previous daa will be saved."
Chosen "Install" and the application installs and is shown as properly in applications, so can be started, but also with "SD" in "Manage Applications"
I do not have any external SD-card so only been using the internal one for spacing atm, and had all my applications installed on phone, and none on internal SD-card.
Anyone know how to get back my applications?
Thanks in advance,

Hey,
I just installed a nieuw rom, i made sure i got a TI backup on my sd card.
now if i want to restore my apps it says i have none?
How can i fix this?
Grtzz
Also happened to me i pressed the menu button and pressed preferences in there should be an option called backup location (I'm not sure as mine is not english) then you press detect and it should find all your backups
maybe your new rom use different SD card as /sdcard
if cm9 , you should check on 'settings' ->'storage' -> 'storage configuration' -> 'use internal storage'
Using auto-detect like vcrp94 suggested is way easier.
Hi, I've been using GingerDX v022 (and Alfs v08a kernel) for quite a while and I'm happy with it but one thing bothers me.
Sometimes when installing large apps with low internal phone memory left the system still tries to install the app on the phone leaving me with like 4 MB of internal memory and then I have to manually move the app to sd card using the application manager. I would prefer Android to install apps to sd card by default (while still letting me move them to phone memory when I want).
In CyanogenMod settings I found two options that I find somewhat confusing. One is "Install Location" and it allows me to select sd card, which is exactly what I want but here's what I find confusing... The option "Install Location" is right next to "Allow Application Moving" and even though I have "Allow Application Moving" unticked I can still move apps to sd card. Are these two options related to a different system of moving apps to sd card (e.g. to a separate partition instead of the .android_secure thingy)? Because I still want to use .android_secure and I'm not sure if "Install Location" option might somehow mess it up.
Long story short: Does "Install Location" in CyanogenMod settings work with Gingerbread's built-in moving apps to sd card?

Yes it does.. How do you find Install Location confusing? It's sort of self-explanatory, isn't it?
I thought "Install Location" might have been a subsetting of "Allow Application Moving" (and "Allow Application Moving" some completely alternate app2sd method). Now looking at screenshots I see that the English tooltip under "Allow Application Moving" says "Allow moving of any application to external storage" while the Polish translation says something like "Allow moving applications to external storage" and omits the word "any", which kinda changes the meaning.
So I'm guessing "Allow Application Moving" simply bypasses the block that some apps have on being moved to sd card?
Not sure that's the case at all..
It just facilitates being able to use the sdcard as an install media. That's all..
I changed "Install Location" in CyanogenMod settings and it didn't really do anything. Some apps still install in phone memory while others on sd card, like before.
Soo... Does anyone know how to make this option work?

The question to your answer is: Some apps are movable using native apps2sd and some apps are not (that is indicated actually in the info of the app, seen in links2sd, you can see an sdcard icon on the right and says that it is movable, if there is no icon, it is probably recommended that you don't move the app using native apps2sd). If you want to move apps that are not movable using native apps2sd, use links2sd.
No, that's not the case. The apps I'm talking about ARE movable and CAN be moved using the built-in interface but they install in phone memory by default and then have to be moved manually (using the regular Android app manager, not some brute force method). I don't want to force apps that normally cannot be moved to sd to install on sd, I want the movable apps to choose sdcard as the default location.

I don't have such issues with GingerZaraki or FroyoPro..
I set to Automatic..
Okay, then let me rephrase the question. Does anyone KNOW if "Allow application moving" in CyanogenMod settings needs to be turned on for the "Install location" setting to work?
And to clear up any confusion, I didn't mean that all apps install in phone memory, just some. The thing is... the decision isn't up to me and I would prefer it to be my decision.

I know that when Allow Application Moving is turned ON that it works..
Now I tried with both "Allow Application Moving" On and Off, and I installed Ustream app from Android Market for test. The app still took ~9 MB of phone memory instead of installing on SD card as the "Location" selection in CyanogenMod would suggest. Meh...
Any idea of something like a terminal command that could override the default install location?
Hello everyone.
I have a question for all of you... how cand i reset the phone just as if it would be new? Every time i flash a new rom the phone remembers the wifi passwords, the kill processes i made before and much more.
I want to make the phone lighter, to make it run fast without lags and fc. I changed the pit file (4Gb), but the phone runs slow...
Deactivate this in Google account settings... Do not sync app / personal settings.
from the recovery delete cache, dalvik cache and data partition... also internal sd card. after rebooting disable account restore and account sync
So on my Moto G running stock rom the gallery wont load any pictures. They all apear grayed out and whenever I try to save a picture it wont allow it to be saved. But I switched to the user guest and it showed my images, could save images and actually edit and move files on my sd... any possible solution for this? Thanks in advance!
Same happened with me.
If you are rooted and on TWRP, Go in TWRP and wipe internal storage. If you are not rooted, go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory Reset Phone.

Try wiping cache in TWRP.
Try this
Switch off the phone and Remove sd card
Turn it on and then go to
Settings->Apps->All apps
and clear data of Media Storage
after that switch off the phone and insert the sd card Turn the phone on and don't open any app ateast for five minutes
Hope this will solve it
