[Q] Fix Permissions in CWM - LG Revolution

So when I was in CWM, I accidentally clicked in fix permissions, what does this actually do? Will it cause any problems with super user or anything?
Thanks for any input!

You well be good it just fixes permissions in apps such as what they need to access might even help if you were having force closes you can read the log it creates to I believe it saves the lug to external sd card

I do the same thing. But it takes time too long. So I hard-reseting my device by remove the battery. I think it might cancel it. But no! Now, my device won't get any signal to sign in to google account. Please help.

I would say go in cwm recovery again and do it....again. And wait for it to finish.
If this won't do the trick and you have a recent nand backup....you should restore it.
Or....if these fail (they shouldn't...) you can always use the tools recommended around here to get to a clean firmware install (don't forget to clear everything before and after the restore - full reset).

Market update unsuccessful?

I am unable to download/update new apps and existing apps via the market because i keep getting an error that says unsuccessful download. I flashed over the new 2.2.6 market into my phone and i still get the same problem. It turns out that only apps that are in the sdcard are affected, and moving them back into the phone will finally allow them to be updated with no problems.
I tried everything i could find on the internet, clearing cache/data and stuff like that, but they dont work. One method that does work is a factory reset but i dont wanna lose my stuff right now. Usually when i get this problem i'll just wait out a few hours and try again but i had this problem since last night and i also read about people who had them for over a month!
Is there any fix to this? Or is the market just broken? Running on CM6.1-N1
cmon 56 views and still no answer? I know many people have encountered this problem before. Is there any solution to this?
Probably because there's 56 threads on the same subject...

I am stuck on "App not Installed". I can't figure that out. I am on CM 6.1.0 on 2.2.1. I tried clearing cache, renaming file to update.zip and going into recovery to install from SD Card. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Try unmounting your SD card in settings...

Didnt work for me. :/
Alright think i fixed it. Just tried updating an app that is in SDcard and it updated fine.
Found the solution here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...all-around-failures/page__p__24608#entry24608
1. Open Terminal Emulator on the phone
2. Type su to activate SuperUser
3. Once the $ sign turns to # type in the above code
4. That should do it
And BTW - it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)

Speeding "boot up"

My boot up and shut down are extremal slow. I know this handles like a computer and these things can effect its performance. I would like to know what can be done to speed up these boots. I am also not to aware of what should and should not be removed from the sdcard. I've attached a snip of my sdcard, how do I know what is junk and what is not?
Thanks, Tomween1

First, as you probably already know, every phone is built differently and so things like that can vary.
My guess is that there's probably too much unwanted file on your phone, which have probably just been stacking from flash to flash. There's a app for that but I can't remember the name (sorry ) - perhaps you can look it up.
Other thing, if you have been flashing over and over:
1. Attend some flashocolic meeting
2. a full clear would probably clear up alot of stuff.
If you go for a masterclear (Odin) and re-install your ROM, don't forget to backup your file with Titanium Backup + pictures and put your contacts on your sim card (copy the file from your phone to your comp). -Just a little reminder.

Try deleting any apps that you don't use, and also try an app called "SD Maid". I got it from the apps section, but it may be in the market now. It searches for leftovers of stuff you've deleted. Cause sometimes things leave traces of themselves behind after a delete. Should free up some room.
Also, theres an app called "Autostarts" which lets you select what apps actually start on the boot up, which should also speed it up if you disable some.

YES - SD Maid. That's the app I was talking about ^^
U could try disabling the media scanner service if u have lots of media loaded, and run it manually when u need it.

No not much in the way of media. My only concern is all the files shown in the attached file in the OP

Need Help Plz :)

I'm trying to uninstall NFS Shift completely. I've uninstalled using Uninstall Pro, deleted the folder from "my files/data", but can't find the remaining files using Root Explorer. Can anyone show me where it's at or are there any? The reason I'm doing this is, I'm getting an error when trying to play.
Thanks in advance..
Guess not...

If you're really wanting to make sure you've cleaned it out, you could always to a Titanium backup of all the apps/data that is/are good (or that you want to save), and do a factory reset from Clockworkmod Recovery. That would clean out anything that's left.
Just make sure you don't do anything that will format your internal sd card (unless you've moved all the things you want to keep to a safe place).
Granted, you'd have to take some time to reinstall your other apps, but it might solve your problem.
Just my opinion, though.

Or get a an app called SDMaid. That's kinda what is was made for doing. Completely cleaning up entire apps and clone files and such.
seems like a lot of trouble to get rid of a few 2-5 kb files in my opinion

[Q] Rooting just won't work

So I have the GT-S5830, and I have some pitiful 8MB of internal storage left. To fix this it appears I have to root the phone (to get all the junk pre-installs out of there); however every way I'v tried has resulted in the installation itself being successful, but still not root access. I'v tried several methods including the main guide in the development section of the forum.
It's an Australian phone, locked with Optus, Android version 2.3.6
Baseband V. - S5830XWKT3
Build Num. - GINGERBREAD.XWKT7
Would anyone know what I could be doing wrong; or even better write an idiot-proof guide which should work?
Thank you in advance
Not quite sure here but in order to root you need to have more than 8mb of storage as rooting installs Busybox,SuperUser etc. You need more storage mate. Try deleting some stuff you don't need or use and try again.
Edit: I heard somewhere that in order to install an app you need to have TWICE the amount of storage as the app takes up. E.g. App is 10mb then you need 20mb free. Never had low storage so I'm not sure how true this is.

Thanks mate. Superuser and the testing app usually install fine (well their icon is there and they run fine), it's just that they don't do anything because I still don't have root access.
However I will do it again with more space (I don't know what i'll delete, pretty much everything is pre-installed bloat) and if that works I'll let you know.

[DEPRECATED] Migrator - Android Backup Solution and Data Migration Utility

THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED. I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE HERE.
Documentation: https://github.com/VR-25/migrator/blob/master/README.md/
Releases: https://github.com/VR-25/migrator/releases/
Reserved for jokes.
It seems really interesting, thumbs up man :good::good::good:
Okay I still don't quite understand the method technically even after reading the description.
The thing is if dev say clean flash(wipe data,system,cache,dalvik) is a must before installing a rom,etc.Then will this adk solution can be used instead of titanium backup?Because you wrote that adk more efficient than tb maybe I'll use this instead of tb

All you really need to understand are the setup steps. This module prevents app data from being deleted when you use TWRP's "wipe data/factory reset feature".
This sounds too good to be true, lol almost like a proof of concept. Can just binding the new dir with the old make it so there are no issues whatsoever? Will test later this week cause I romhop a lot.
My phone's storage is almost full.The thing i want to ask is if this procedure will need more data space inside /data/media.

No extra space is taken, as data is moved, not copied.
I installed this and it erased all my app data, ironically enough. Make sure you have a backup before installing.
After typing "adk" it finds all the apps, but after typing "." it lists every app with "pm: not found". After a reboot, the apps are not installed. Am I doing something wrong?

That's really f**ked up... same to me. I think there was no error on my side while following the "install-reboot-forget" process. Only the lib folders had been moved/binded somehow to the SD folder, no base.apks and no odex-blobs(?).
The result was a totally broken system. Sorry, but IMHO the Dev should not proclaim it that way as long as the script seems to be in pre-alpha ... All log files in /data/media/adk/logs/ are empty, too!
Really don't know whether LMAO or :crying:

Please add an alpha into the title. Same happens to me.... and titanium can't restore accounts anymore...

Seemed interesting and installed
But I lose all app data ,
found no logs and nothing just like fresh install of everything
Keep a backup before trying this
I was on magisk 16.7 ,
Redmi note 3 AEX N
Do not install! I lost everything like everyone else. Pictures I just took on vacation of my kids gone. All texts gone. All app data gone. Wtf man. This needs to be pulled. I lost 3gig of data

Never ever try magisk stuff without nandroid or other backup in backhand.
I, like everyone else posting here, fell for this extension and lost all my app data.
I'm not sure if this extension is buggy or if we are simply too stupid to get it running but here is what I did:
install
reboot
forget (about all my app data as all apps seem to have lost their data)
I then opened a terminal, typed adk as instructed and am getting:
permission denied. Can't create /data/media/adk/logs/res_apks_verbose_log.txt: permission denied
typing su before adk does indeed give me a list of apps which seems to get longer every few minutes.
Maybe its still busy copying? I'll give it some more time. Not sure what's up though, are we supposed to wait for the ap to copy all app data over then do an initial restore? Or is it not correctly "linking" the apps to the new app data storage?
###edit###
I did not immediately remove this extension as I thought to give it some time. I then rebooted and its now hanging at the boot screen saying: "Starting up ... please wait" - this section usually only takes a few seconds but I've been staring at this screen for minutes now. I'll give it 30 minutes, maybe it is still busy copying all my APKs and app data to the SD card? I mean I was already wondering how this can only need one simple reboot to be ready...
I'll update this thread if I have any new findings as the extension description sounds quite logical so maybe we're all doing something wrong
Dev RECOMMENDED app data backup in first step even BEFORE INSTALLING it through magisk or twrp.
I think nobody is doing it

you're right he did. I didn't say I don't have a backup I only said the extension isn't behaving as advertised OR I don't get how to use it.
Also, he should change that sentence from "recommended" to mandatory if his app wipes app data
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------
I have disabled the extension and rolled back my backup. I'm still wondering what went wrong here as the extension actually created the right folders on my SD card. Somehow the links seem to have been missing. I didn't dare try a restore via "adk ." as it was unclear what else could have gone wrong.
I would however appreciate some feedback and clarification from the author.
