[SOLVED] Application Install Button Blocked! - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My X8 running GingerDX 017 has this problem. doixanh said its not his rom problem, so i ask here.
SOLUTION: Dont use Screen Sensor Apps. Thanks ilarisk
When installing an apk, I will get 2 options. "Install" and "Cancel"
I cannot press the "Install", the button is somehow blocked. But i can press cancel.
Its not the apk problem cause the apk managed to install before. And this problem happens to all apk at the same time.
The rom is very clean, stock + DXmodules + DXhotfix + ArcMiniMusicPlayer. No freezing apps.
Restarting phone dont help.
Full wipe solves this for awhile. After next boot problem came back.

Maybe your SD card blocks the installation.
You should try to format your SD card(make a backup 1st)...
I don't guarantee this will work!
It's just a suggestion!

have u tried looking into CM Settings > Application > Install Location?

mayb u can give some screenshot?and try format your SD card fisrt.

I also think it's the SD card.. Do you have more than one partition?
Format it and reinstall the ROM.
If you backup your SD, save only the things you really need.

Thanks for your suggestion.
But this problem only exist in GingerDX, other ROMS i have no problem. Its SDCARD problem?
And My SDcard is 8GB, class 4, Single partition.
Screenshot, describe first, I cant press the Install button, when pressed, its the same as not pressing it(blocked). Only Cancel button can be pressed. Hope u can imagine it.

You will lose nothing to try it.

all my apps are moved to sdcard, format will lose all apps right.

i had the same problem once, but after rebooting every thing worked fine.
and did you also have the problem if you want to pull back the status bar from the middle of the bottom?

if u see first post, i think i wrote that reboot dont help in my phone.
The problem pulling back status bar is in every cyanogen gingerbread rom.
Guys, i have formatted sdcard, problem still there.

[TUT]Partition SD using rom manager

Hello
After running into troubles partitioning my SD using rom manager, i fiddled and found the fx for me!
Problem: use rom manager to partition sd and select sizes, phone reboots to complete actions and then clockworkmod recovery shows the yellow error triangle about signatures.
solution: goto goto install update from sd and then choose the option to disable signatures come back out of there and then goto advanced options then reboot recovery, this will then successfully partition the sd.
as i said i did not find this information anywhere, if it is double post i apologise, i am just trying to be helpful.
regards
Youre a genius! thanks so much i was having so much trouble with this partitioning my sd card!
Thank you,

not all apps can be moved to the sd card, you'll know you have app2sd, by looking at how much free phone memory you have , you will notice only a slight decrease in phone memory due to dling browser cache, facebook cache or market etc.

[Q] motorola milestone problem with cyanogen mod 7

hi every one
i have moto milestone and rooted it , downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and flashed it successfully" after wiping all cash dalvik and data partitions" and it worked in excellent manner but after installing a lot of apps and games and for some reason rebooted " or may be shut it down or even the battery was empty" and tried to restart the problem happened !
it starts normally for 2 or 3 minutes and prepares the sd card and starts force close/wait/report msg with the adw launcher and then stuck freezes and stop responding completely .
restarting by removing the battery for several times with now result!
wiping the data partition was the only solution but on account of removing all my installed apps!
tried backing the nandroid backup with all my apps installed and restoring it and no hope!
tried alot of other launchers like adw launcher ex , crazy home , regina launcher and miui and samsung pure breez some of them had the same problem and crazy home and i91 home struggled a little bit so i thought it was the launcher problem but after 2 or 3 days they have the same problem and the phone got freeze after every restart or power up
i am very sorry for very long description but only to let u know my problem entirely so what to do ? what is the problem and how to fix?
is this is due to the large no of apps or due to gapps installation or what?

sorry pleez tell how to know as iam new to android system but if u r meaning the internal storage space no for sure as i set the installation destination in the cyanogen settings to external and all of them on the sd card !
if this is not what u mean pleez help !
another notice is that the phone works excellent if i removed the sd card !!!!!
so may it be because of the large no of apps or as u said before about data partition which iam waiting for u to explain pleez !

what is the max no of apps and games u have?

Its no good moving many apps to sd card... specially your launcher. If you do really want to do it, i strongly suggest you to partition your sd card via OR and add an ext4 partition.
Please refer to OR thread on how to do it if you are not aware of it.
One huge tip is after creating this ext4 partition, install S2E from market and READ the instructions.

The Milestone port of CM7 is not official, so there are bound to be issues. Under the assumption that it is not the ROM's fault, I suggest trying a different SD card. I highly suspect that it is just the ported ROM's compatibility issues, but you may still want to check the SD card to eliminate the possibility of your external storage being at fault.

Instant reboot when moving app to SD card

Hi,
I have installed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
Everything if fine except that all the apps are installed in the internal storage even though the app are listed in the SD card. If I press the button "Move to SD card" the button remains highlighted for a second then my Nexus One instantly reboots.
Is there a way to fix it? I already run the in the error: "No space left on device".
Thank you,
colossus73
PS.
I post here because the forum doesn't allow me to post in that thread neither to send a private message to the guy who cooked the rom.
Hi colossus73
I have the same problem, i have the stock ROM, GRK39F
My phone is not rooted but it's bootloader are unlocked and i have Amon RA 2.2.1 recovery.
i first encountered this issue when i tried to update app that installed on my SD card and each time i tried to update it the phone were automatically rebooted itself.
when i moved the exact app to phone internal memory the problem was solved and i was able to update it.
but when i try to move apps to SD card via the android settings
(Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> On SD card)
the phone reboot itself...
I will appreciate any assistance because my memory is very low and i can't install any apps
this is easy to fix use App2sdx use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=14363827 scroll down a few post n find my name i talk about this ...... when u install if u did EXT4 then you will have 1GB free internal space .... also try link2sd from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en or on full details on how to install n use link2sd click this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326 i also use this APP2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.app2sd&hl=en

Hi, I tried the hints in the post below but with not results. I have reverted to old Android non stock roms and then I installed all the Android updates directly from the phone. Then I used Superboot to have root and now I'm an happy user of my Nexus One.
Hope this helps.

[big concern]application stays!

hi guys, my problem is that, my application stays every after install of new rom..
ive tested almost all roms for stock kernel, so i can say i already know the basics(e.g factory wipe, reset etc...)
i tested it with different roms...and still there...
i used flashtool, rooted again...and when i installed a new rom, the apps are still there...
and my phone's internal memory is always 208mb...even if it's a new rom, still 208mb...
i already tried a hundred times of full wiping/factory reset...
i also tried the factory reset in settings...
this annoys me coz some of the settings also stay...
any idea guys?
What do you mean by "stay"? You've installed an application, then after every fresh install of any ROM it's still installed? What app?
From your explanation it's impossible to have user-installed application to stay still, because data partition is wiped if you install stock ROM from flashtool.
I think it's cuz you moved that app to sd card

yes it's still there...i also find it impossible...that is why im shocked...and its not just an icon...its a real app because i can use it...
i dont put my apps on sd card...when i go to manage applications, the app is installed on the phone memory...
and one thing, it always displays 208mb on my phone memory whatever ROM i install...gdx,gingerxperia, foryopro....isn't it weird?
That's messed up
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
whipe your SD card :/
yes it's messed up up...:/
It would be very useful, if you give us the name of that application
If you've moved the applications to SD card then ye have to move them back to The internal memory then do a factory reset .. or a full wipe ..
Good luck

Well try to use Titanium Backup to force uninstall that app.
ok guys here it is...i think i found the culprit...but still i don't know why it's happening...
the culprit is link2sd...
i managed to format my sd card including the sd-ext, and then i installed a fresh ROM....the problem is gone...i intalled some apps like root browser, link2sd, battery widget monitor etc...now after setting up link2sd, a lot of things force closes, almost everything that i open e.g settings, camera, gallery, ALL!....reboot is the solution....
now when i turn it on, it seems like(seems like), some of the data in the internal memory is AUTOMATICALLY LINKED to sd-ext...that's AUTOMATICALLY without doing the transfer on the link2sd...that is why i get 208mb of free memory because when i install a new rom, it automatically links it to sd-ext...
now if i install a new rom, the things that were linked to the sd-ext stays...that is why it shows up....
now could this be a link2sd problem?anyone having this problem?
is it because my SD-CARD is problematic?
hew...thanks guys

[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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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.
