Problem with official "Apps to SD Card" moving

Hello,
yesterday I started to move some Apps (around 20) to my SD Card.
On of the apps was "HTC_IME mod" (the keyboard). When I tried to write something now I only had the android keyboard. HTC IME wasn't even in the input settings.
Well, okay, moved it back to phone storage. Still didn't work somehow.. it FC'd.
I reinstalled it and it worked again.
Some minutes later I've seen that 3 Apps aren't in the AppDrawer anymore!
Since I got some of them in a folder on the homescreen I tried to start the apps there. It didn't work! Getting the message "isnt installed on phone" or something like that.
+ All of the apps I moved were shown without the actual app icon but with the default green icon. I tried to start them too and it worked..
I also couldn't move any of them back to the phone storage because the buttons were greyed out and I were only able to uninstall them.
I removed most of the apps without a real icon from the folder and put them back in (Holding them in the AppDrawer and moving into the folder) and did another restart to see if they're without an Icon again or not.
Now the Launcher Force Closed. Couldn't do anything.. (I'm on CM6 and deleted the ADW Launcher and just installed LauncherPro Plus)
Blah blah I connected to USB to get the USB screen (makes the launcher not close anymore) and used the powerstrip app to go the root explorer and reinstall the Launcher. Worked again.
I checked my folder again and I see that all icons are still shown! Yay!
But wait, that can't be true. I did another restart.
Checked the folder and most of the apps are without an icon again (default icon only).
AND I have some apps TWICE in the AppDrawer!!
wtf!? What the hell am I doing wrong?
I just wanted to use the FroYo Apps2SD methode to get some free space on my phone -.-

Another restart fixed it. But it didn't fix the missing icons in the folder and I think it also didn't fix everything what happened before.

Same problem... But i think it may be related to Market Update.

Common problem... have a read of the following:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/05/22/storing-apps-sd-froyo/
Also, most reliable results are with stock Froyo Launcher... probably best to use that if you have a lot of apps on SD using Froyo method.
Shameless plug: Kang-o-rama 1.0, which is based on CM6 RC1, is the only CM rom with full apps2ext support. Apps2ext will give you the benefits and none of the pain... see my sig.

Temporary solution
Temporary solution that worked on my N1 is this:
Smokeaire said:
Here some solutions that I and others have posted in the nightly build thread. Go into settings, applications, manage applications, running, adw, then force stop. That brought back the apps icons. The weirdest one I found is to open camera (I then open settings) close camera, and my icons are back. Don't ask me why this works but it does.
Note: All the icons that turn generic are in folders on my home page, including camera.

Oh wth.
I know that the icons were still not shown yesterday morning and during the day I used the camera exactly once.
I just checked the folder on the homescreen and the icons are there .. crazy

Bump!
anyone with the same problems but other solutions?

This is a common and known issue with custom launchers (like LauncherPro you're running) and Froyo's Apps2SD. Plus, it's a known limitation - widgets/keyboards/system service apps/etc can't be moved to SD and keep working reliably. Cyanogen enables the option, but it doesn't say you can use it on everything.
There are no solutions, and it's very well possible that there won't ever be any.

Modifying the stock UI

Hey guys,
Currently running CM7 RC4 on my emmc. I was thinking about going back to the stock firmware, because I'd like to use the B&N functionality in store.
I have seen a lot of nice themes on rooted stock. I was wondering if anyone could point me to how people go about adding a custom launcher and homescreen? Is it as simple as installing ADW or Launcher Pro?
I've noticed that a lot of the time they are able to keep the stock pull up menu on the bottom of the screen, with a appdrawer launcher immediately above it.
Thanks for the input!

I've read a number of posts indicating no success with in store reading with a rooted nook, stock or otherwise. It appears it may only work with a non-rooted stock OS nook.

Not true. There is a thread here that shows how to do it with BN 1.1.0 and rooted with auto-nooter 3.0

Hmm...browsing the forum it appears that a lot of rooted users do indeed still have access to in store features. Therefore, my original question is still pertinent for me. But thank you for the warning, I appreciate it!

I can do everything in the store with my autonooted 3.0 Nook Color, including 1 hour in-store browsing of titles.
I've got all sorts of stuff installed on my NC, too.

Pretty much. What I did is basically what's outlinked on the nookdevs site:
1) Installed custom launcher of my choice (ADW originally but switched to LP because it's so much smoother/quicker for me.)
2) Used home switcher to set soft keys as the default launcher
3) In Soft keys set it so your custom launcher is the default launcher. (I also have SK setup so one click gives me "home" and two gives me the soft keys.)
The stock pull up menu is still there and works for accessing the stock B&N stuff, but for the most part it looks and works like a normal android device.
As for the in-store stuff. It sounds like the problem is with B&N still having some issues with in-store setup to support the NC at some stores as people have also been reporting the same problems with stock non-rooted NC's.

I use Zeam, without softkeys, as the stock notification bar has all of that functionality.
Zeam is a tiny bit buggy on the NC though. Anyone know how to set a different launcher as default?

Install another home launcher and home switcher. Hit the N button and it should ask which launcher to start with. Make sure you check the box so it will set that as the default launcher and launch the one you want to be your default.

Amazon mp3 doesn't even open

I have a gtablet with CM7 on it. Everything works beautifully except Amazon mp3. It doesn't even open. Actually, when it installs, it doesn't show up in the app drawer, but I can add the widget to the home screen.
When I add the widget, and I press it, the screen turns white, like it's about to do something, and then nothing.
I was just wondering if anyone had any similar problems. The app worked fine when I was using TnT 4, but it doesn't work with CM7. I don't know exactly what the issue is or what channels I should go through to see about getting it fixed.

Check to make sure your keyboard/language is set to United States (English). I had that issue with Vegan Ginger, and part of the issue was that it was set to something else.
However, I had it return later, and it was more like you were describing - unable to add the app at all (except for the widget). I used TI to do a backup and did a factory reset and reinstalled Vegan Ginger. I haven't had the issue since I switched to CM7, but I think that might be the way to go. Backup, do a factory reset via Clockwork, reinstall CM7 (newest nightly, 7.0.3 has with the new Google Music player), let Google automatically restore your apps (as many of them as it can). Amazon MP3 should be done that way; if not, manually install it. See if it works. If it does, go ahead and restore data to the apps that you want to via Titanium.

I had the same problem before while running the 2.0.3 version of the app, I found the 2.0.2 version and it's working just fine. I see that there is an update to 2.0.4 but I haven't updated it as I don't want the errors again.

I changed my keyboard to english (United States) and it totally worked. Thank you very much. Such a helpful place, xda

[Q] Netflix on Nook Color "MUST UPGRADE" message

An issue recently popped up with Netflix on my wife's rooted Nook Color. It is demanding an upgrade with every attempt to run the application. In the passed, when an upgrade message would pop up, all I had to do was to tap "cancel" and I could continue on to use the app. Now, there is a message "New version of application is found, you must upgrade to be able to use application" pops up. If I tap cancel, I am exited out of the program. If I tap ok, I am taken to the Market where I can't download the "new version" because of my device "is not compatible" with it.
I have not found much on this. There are a few posts about it in Cyanogen's forum section but no one has posted a fix for it that has worked for me. Here are the fixes that have been posted and that I've already tried.
1. uninstalling and reinstalling.
2. changing the pixel density to 160
3. Clearing the market cache
4. upgrading from Netflix 1.4apk to 1.5apk
I rooted this Nook with Cyanogen's RC1 install and all had been going well. Everything had been going just fine until this issue cropped up last week.
Anyone have the same experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Upgrade to 7.1 stable or change your dpi to 160.

Yup, CM 7.1 is your beat bet. For the longest time, Netflix woredfor m and the it all of a sudden stopped working. I spent several days trying to figure out what was wrong wwith it because it happened after itbhad updated. The only thing I got to work for me was to uninstall it and download it again from the market. I don't know why that's not working for you. But look on the bright side - whenever you get it working again, you get to use that awesome new tablet UI.

I ran into the same issue running CM7 7.1. If you've got the Amazon Marketplace installed, you can get Netflix from there. I didn't have any issues downloading it and installing form there. The new UI is REALLY nice.

Thanks everybody. Upgrading to 7.1 did the trick. ...and to Dexter Douglas, you're right! The new UI is great!

Pretty sure I meantioned the new UI first, but I'm glad it worked out for ya.

i am running the original Phiremod based on CM7. I just installed Netflix from the Amazon Market after being unsuccessful with any other method. I logged in and started up a movie. So Far, so good. But Wait There's no sound. Using the hard button to try to increase media volume did not work. So, I closed Netflix and went into settings, sound, volume, media volume. I dragged the slider to the right but it always reverts to no volume (slider reverts all the way to the left). I'm Going to reboot and if it's fixed, I'll report back. If it's not, I'll uninstall Netflix. If i still have no media sound, I'll be back here in a panic asking for help! !

[Q] Fix for "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card" on CM11?

Hey everyone,
I decided to make the jump from albinoman's CM10.2 to CM11 on my Raider (Rogers variant) a few days ago and for the most part I'm very impressed on how it runs. Big props go out to albinoman for all of his hard work on this device
One problem that I noticed though is that some apps won't install from the Play Store and I get hit with an error line stating "Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card". I hadn't seen this error before and the apps worked with no issues back on 10.2
I read in a different thread for the GS2 that one way to fix this is to install SELinuxModeChanger which would change the permission back to "Permissive" (the 4.3 standard) instead of "Enforcing" (the 4.4 standard). I tried this, but it didn't work. Maybe it's just for Samsung devices, but for what's it worth, that doesn't make a difference here.
I'm running the 01062014 build with the Full Modular GApps package (if that makes a difference) and I'm S-ON. Apart from this issue, I've also found that the default camera app FC every time (focal works about 50%, photos with rear camera works, creates videos but can't play them, etc.) and MMS doesn't get sent/received (but those are stories for another time and yes, I flash the boot.img from every new build EVERY TIME).
I have ample room on my SD card and on my internal storage to install them (details are in the screenshots), but it's still a mystery as to why they don't install...
It's not a big deal that these apps don't install, they're nothing important, just some games that I can play on other devices, but I was just wondering if people were aware of this issue and if so, how long a fix could potentially take.
Thanks in advance!

Hey dude, I've had the same issues with CM 11, most notably the xda developers app would not install. I'm installing the 1-12-2014 build (came out today), which is supposed to fix both this issue and the camera issue. My phone is currently getting all of its apps reinstalled, so in a couple of minutes I'll give it a shot and see if it did the trick. Fingers crossed that this fixes my netflix issue too!
---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------
Sweet! The new CM 11 build fixed the issue! Sorry for the new post instead of an edit, I don't know how to edit on the app.

That's great news!
BTW, did you restore anything when you installed the Jan 12th build? For instance, did you make a backup of the data partition in TWRP (or whichever recovery you use) and then restore that after you installed the 2014/01/12 build, or did you just go clean and install everything new?
Hope to hear back soon!

I just made a backup of my installed APps using "app backup and restore" and backed up my apex launcher settings and desktop data. Then I did a clean install ( wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache), and restored my alpha and speed settings. Just manually inputted everything else
My Netflix issue was not resolved, but that's just because apparently kitkat doesn't play nice with Netflix. We just need to wait for an app update.
Edit: sorry for the excessive thanks, i'm still getting used to the xda app.

So I tried the Jan. 12th build and it's pretty nice. But that isn't to say that I don't have any new issues.
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but Gmail is not being synced up. I checked my sync settings and it notes that the last time it synced was yesterday at 11:08 AM (the last time before I switched from builds). Not only that, but I'm not receiving notifications when I do get emails (probably because my emails aren't syncing...).
Apart from that, the cLock widget doesn't survive after a reboot. Upon the first boot, it was on there and I configured it to my liking. Then whenever I turn off or reboot my phone, the widget disappears from my homescreen and I have to manually replace it. I'm not sure if it makes much difference, but I'm using the launcher3 instead of the default Google Launcher and I've resized my rows/columns to 4/5, respectively. The widget never disappeared on earlier builds (or on 10.2), but it does on this one...
Anyone else have similar issues to what I'm experiencing?
But besides those, the camera works great, so that's one issue solved
Oh, and I should probably mention that if I tell my phone to sync all my Google information, the spinning sync wheel doesn't move at all. I'm not sure if the same result happens when I try to sync Facebook and receive notifications, but that's less of an issue for me.

I placed the clock widget on one of my screens, and it survived after reboot, so in thinking CM11 isn't playing nice with launcher3 ( i'm using apex launcher). I also don't appear to have any issues syncing with gmail, so I don't know what's going on with that. Sorry I can't be of more help

I'm having an issue w/ mounting/formatting the internal sd card on CM11. Anyone know how to fix this? All was working well til the last update of Kitkat and I get an error when I try to format it in recovery.

What's the error you get? And I assume you're using ClockWorkMod recovery (WCX)?

It could very well be the case that the clock widget and launcher3 have some compatibility issues. I haven't tried apex launcher or any other launcher (nova also comes to mind), so I can't say with 100% accuracy that it is the fault of launcher3. It won't hurt to try different launchers though, so I'll do that and give an update when I get a chance.
As for the Gmail sync issue that I have, I read this from albinoman's CM11 thread:

First attempt, just a reboot, didn't work.

I'll give this a shot as well and see if it changes anything. But before I do that, I want to try out the Jan. 17 build that's up now and see if these issues are resolved automatically

Yes, I'm using WCX recovery and the error I get is:

Error mounting /internal_sdcard/!
Skipping form
Any help would be appreciated!

So it's been a few days and I've got an update to share.
I was too lazy over the weekend to try out the Jan. 17 build, so I instead tried out the Jan. 20 build when it was released yesterday. But before I did, I made a backup of everything (Apps with TiBu, and NANDroid backup with TWRP) just in case something went haywire.
I wiped everything except my SD Cards in TWRP, and then installed the 01/20/14 build alongside the PA Mini Modular Gapps. I then accessed my bootloader and installed the boot.img 3 times to ensure that it sticks (not required to do, but more like OCD lol ). Once that was done, I powered off for a few minutes, unplugged the micro USB cable and then powered back on.
As it was running through the initial setup, I went through all the usual steps, but after I entered my Google Account info and had that verified, I decided to uncheck the Backup & Restore option, but had everything else checked.
You might be wondering, "Why'd you uncheck that option?". Essentially, I had the thought that there might have been a setting that corresponds to Google Sync Services and Gmail from earlier builds that kept messing up the default options in CM11 builds and thus making it unworkable (hence my earlier issue with Gmail not syncing and sending me notifications).
So after I ran through that and installed all my programs again (from the Play Store, not from TiBu for testing reasons), I opened up Gmail after a reboot and I noticed that the notification push was working! I also sent myself an email from my desktop and checked to see if my phone would notice it, and that worked too!
So to recap, here's what I did:
1) Backed up everything
2) Wiped everything in Recovery except for SD Cards
3) Installed Jan. 20 build and PA Mini Modular Gapps
4) Installed boot.img 3 times via fastboot, powered off
5) Unplugged USB cable, powered on
6) Went through initial setup
7) Unchecked "Backup & Restore" setting during setup
8) Installed all apps from Play Store, powered off
9) Powered on, opened Gmail
10) Noticed that Gmail was working, celebrated
I'm sure all of this could have worked in earlier builds too, but I never thought about unchecking the "Backup & Restore" setting during the initial setup until yesterday. So now all that remains as a WIP is to get MMS working, but that's the least of my worries for now

Jan. 20 Build Update
Huh, well apparently it only decided to work that one time...
Upon that first clean install and boot, it notified me about all new emails that were coming in. The next day however, it decided to just stop. I have to do a manual sync (moving my thumb from the top to the bottom of the screen while using Gmail) to get my new emails to appear, and there's still a chance that it won't fetch new emails
Not only that, but I noticed that there's still a few apps that don't work out completely. An example of this is The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was working fine in earlier builds (I believe it was the 15th or 17th, can't recall right now), but on the 20th build, it just force closes after the first screen.
Also, some apps disappear from my home screens after a reboot. I don't get why this happens, but it's ultimately not a big deal. But hey, at least cLock survives a reboot when using launcher3
Anyone else have similar problems/issues?
