[Q] ghost icons - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the serendipity 5.10 rom on my captivate; but on every reboot, It remove some icons on the home. what could be the reason?
thanks bye

That happens sometimes when you move programs to your SD card. Just move it back to your phone and the icons will stay.

Cyanogen mod can move apps to sd

i got the new cyanogen rom and it has a option that can move apps to sd card. if i move wiil it damage my n1 or is it just safe? because i found a thread in the post which install apps to sd card with adb method. And it says that do it at your own risk. so im thinking maybe if i move my apps (not from adb method) will it damage my phone.
It is safe.
Some apps may not like it.
If you start to see weird behavior from an app, try moving it back to the phone.

I9000M Help needed to install everything on external SD

Can someone please guide me on how to install everything on a external SD so my phone will not die because of internal sd corruption. Will this keep my phone alive?

Will it keep your phone alive? Who knows. Report back to us in 6-12 months and let us know your experience
Are you running Froyo 2.2? If not, that's the first thing you need to do. You can upgrade to an official Bell version (JK4) via Kies.
I'm not aware of how to push EVERY app to external memory. If fact, there are some apps that don't five you the option. To move each app one at a time:
- click your menu button on the home screen to get to settings
- applications
- manage applications
- select the app
- if it's movable, there will be an active button titled "Move to SD card". Click it. If you can't click the button, it can't be moved.
- wash, rinse, repeat
Also, I haven't tried it but Titanium Backup lets you move apps to SD even if they don't naturally allow it. Open Titanium backup, go to the apps screen and long-press the desired app. Click the move to sd card button.
Thx for your answer, I read in other forums that there was a way to install the firmware and all the partitions to the sd, i have a i9000t with docs rom anf 2.2 and a brand new i9000m which i want to start using, i just can remember where i saw how to have everything on your sd.

I recently have experienced the same problem and I spent nearly 3 days to get my phone back to work.
The issue is probably caused by broken app file on SD card.
I'm sure there's one way to replay the issue: get more than 100 apps on SD card, then use Titanium Backup to move all apps from internal storage to SD card, before it finishes (near the end) force close Titanium Backup. On next boot, Android won't be able to load all apps on SD card anymore.
My solution was:
Connect the sd card onto a computer using a card reader. Go to .android_secure folder, then sort by modifying date. Delete few latest apps then put the SD back to your phone but you have to re-install the apps which you deleted.
Good luck!
If you use apps to ext, you can just restore your nandroid...

Thanks! I did what you said only I deleted all the apps in the android secure folder to be sure. And so far is working well for a couple of days. Thank you again.

[Q] Memory Management

Hi, New to this....
Have the Tab running 2.3.3 and I have noticed that everything is being stored on the external memory, in that SD card is showing 767MB left of 14.83GB. Internal is showing 10.92GB left of 12.83GB.
Would like advice on what to store or move to internal and what to keep on external, for safety's sake?
Many thanks as always.

Best to start with is apps2sd and follow their instructions . Further, now and then with a filemanager walk trough the folders and files. Last but not least checkout the cache. E.G. The stock mail apps take lots of memory and the bin can't be emptied so change to K9 e.g.

[Q] The mysterious case of the disappearing icon

Dear All
Can anyone suggest why an icon would keep getting deleted from the Galaxy Note Home screen after every reboot?
I have GPS Speedometer from Linxmap installed. It works fine but whenever I copy the shortcut icon to my Home screen, it gets deleted after every re-boot. No other app behaves this way. I have asked the dev but have yet to hear from them.
Could this be a bug in the custom ROM I'm using? Hard to believe as only the one app is affected but you never know.
Galaxy Note GT-N7000 + Ultimate N7000 XXLS7 JellyBean 4.1.2v4
Thanks in advance

Is the app moved to the sd by any chance ? Find it under settings, manage applications.
Whenever I move apps to sd I lost the icon too

yes it has has to the icons moved to sd. The bug in the latest release of ics I guess has carried to jb now. Hopefully it will not be there in official release.
move to app to internal storage.
I can see the app info but not sure what info I should be looking for.
Total 6.39MB
Application 1.11MB
USB Storage app 5.12MB
Data 164KB
SD cad 0.00B
I have not attempted to change the default installation. I tried searching for the apk file but can't find where that is stored.

just below where it shows SD card , there is a Button.. it should say "Move to Device Storage".. does it ?.. if yes then press it,.and try the shortcut again.. else report back.
I've done that and it appears to work. The icon is still there after a re-boot. Many thanks indeed.
I've never messed with those settings as I haven't yet learned exactly what they are for.
If it's not too much to ask to ask, could you give a brief explanation of these two settings and when/why I would use them?
Ok, I can see that in the case of this one app, it was stored on the sdcard (which I thought meant the internal sd card of the phone) and for some reason this caused it to get deleted from Home screen on re-boot.
Having clicked on Move to Device Storage, I see that the app file has turned up in data/app and no longer gets deleted from Home screen on re-boot.
Sorry for asking dumb questions but many thanks for fixing my problem.

Some apps get directly installed to ext SD card. This causes the app to relocate itself after a reboot. Not only the homescreen shortcut but if the app is placed in a folder in the app drawer screen, it will come out and replace itself somewhere else. this has been found as a bug in the latest release of ICS 4.0.4 and seems its still there in the leaked JB version.
If used "Move to SD card" : all will store the data on external SD card. it wont be visible via the phone exolorer until you remove the sd and connect to a PC. You can use it for saving space on internal storage but the app icon will keep relocating itself.
That helps a lot. Thank you for your patience.

Just to clarify: The app itself is not being "relocated" on a reboot, the app stays where it was installed (SD Card), and you can still launch it by finding the icon in the app drawer.
The problem is that the icon shortcut vanishes from the TW launcher.
I have a work-around using Tasker, but I sure wish Samsung would fix this.

I like your title. hee hee
