You actually want cache, it speeds your phone up and decreases load times. Just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache in recovery and never worry about it again until you completely change ROMs, not just update.

[Q] Latest TiBackup Question

In the latest Titanium Backup update (5/14/11) you now have the ability to convert system apps to user apps, and vice-versa.
I may be completely missing the obvious, but what would the significance of converting one of the apps be?
Thanks

Converting from system to a user app frees up space in /system which is limited. TB lists the space left in a graph in the overview.

Umm... user apps still use space in your system. Everytime you install something from the market it takes up system space. The only thing I can think of, is that usually you can't restore system apps from rom to rom where as user apps can move from different base to different base.

Check your /system space, convert a system app to a user app and then check /system space again - it will be more - at least that is what happens on MY captivate...
Also, you can restore system apps to another ROM - you just can't restore system data if you don't want problems...

User app still take up space in the system unless you move them to sd. I forgot once you convert them you can do that. Some system apps will not restore right correctly on another rom. I've had spareparts dropped in my system and not restore correctly on another rom. But whatever... doesn't really matter.
this feature should be really helpfull for stock based rom builds, but yeah mainly it'll let you remove them from the system and store them wherever.
a few times i tried restoring stock apps on new roms they wouldn't install, this may be a nice helping hand in that direction.

[Q] Everything on my phone simply stopped working.

So I woke up this morning and found my phone acting weird. And after a couple of reboots and cursing my phone is acting like never before. EVERY single application is force closing and NOTHING will start or change. I am stuck without being able to turn on WiFI or disable air plane mode. I have not changed anything on my phone that I can think of that would to this. Just suddenly nothing works. I would like to wipe and factory reset but I can't backup my data.
Hope someone can help!

EDIT: nevermind.. wiped the phone anyways
Try rom manager....fix permissions

Now my phone started to fc everything again. Fixing permissions does not work. I don't know what to do.

Did you wipe the Dalvik cache? This + Fix permissions helped me when I was having FCs
Yes I have. It works for some time then the problem slowly creeps back. Let's see how long it will work now.

clean flash?
That is what I did and it came back. As of now, flashing the latest gapps seems to work so far.

I have to state that your thread title is misleading. Obviously, on your phone, at least battery and screen ARE in working condition...
i meant flash a stock rom with odin including pit file... do you experienced those problems?
if that is what you have done there is nothing i can help you, maybe some more experienced people here can help you
I only experience this with cm7.1. Now, yesterday I wiped my phone completely and decided to reinstall cm7.1 and i did. I even restored my apps via market to make sure my backups were not the cause. Now, just a moment ago my phone went nuts and a temporary cure is to wipe cache and fix permissions. Usually it starts with google apps (some framework fc) and then everything goes.

Next time your apps start force closing, and clearing cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions does not work, take a look at your /datadata folder and make sure there is space in there. If there isn't, any apps that write data there will force close. Keep that in mind.

Thanks man, how do I check this though? Es file explorer is not telling me much
Also that folder is jammed with folders about each app.

The /datadata folder is essentially where apps keep some information. If you try to install an app without enough room there, it will say insufficient space; likewise, if it's really full and an app needs to write data there, it will force close. The size of this folder usually differs between ROMs.
I know Root Explorer shows the size and free space at the top for the folder you're in. I'm sure in other apps you could long-press the folder and there may be an option for folder details or something, but it's really dependent on the app.

[Q] Issue with Lag fix SGS 2.3.5 XXJVT

Hi Guys
Ive recently been trying to sort out my wife's SGS its run like a dog since she got it.
Ive updated to the latest firmware kies advises 2.3.5 XXJVT and have now rooted the phone with a view to installing fixes for the phone.
Ive attempted to run the lag fix. Ive used CF-Root-ext4-v1.3 app to do this. It work on all partitions apart from /system where is says "cant restore files - not enough memory ?" then rolls back to an RFS partition. Since doing this the quadrant score comes in at around 2300.
Can anyone advise me on what to do to resolve the issue with the /system partition or advise of any other tricks I can use to make the phone preform better ?
Thanks
Richie
You need to remove some system apps...like Aikedo books and Daily brief, allshare....one you dont use....use an app from the market like absolute sytem to remove these apps...its free on the market. Once removed you will have more space to do a full conversion to ext 4.
Is there any other way around this ?
Is there a list of safe apps to remove ?
a way around it? No, you need more space on your system to convert to ext 4...everyone that has a stock rom needs to make space to convert to ext 4 otherwise they have the same result you did....unless you want to keep aikido books and allshare for what ever reason. Those are the ones that most people remove. Its perfectly safe, you just wont have those apps anymore....those apps arent running your system.
I use Darkys Rom tool to remove apps, it is simple to use and you can always restore them.
Hop you get it sorted man
cheers
i was trying to not go to a rom as I dont want her to loose any data she has now.
I tried removing system apps but when I delete them using a root file manager they just re appear
Can I also ask does sgs phones with out the lag fix typically have crashing issue with system apps like calls ?
think i may have to flash another rom onto this phone but thought id bump this just once more. just incase someone can think of a way to avoid this.
After applying the lagfix on CF Root, can i install Voodoo color and sound??
And is it possible to install CWM Rom Manager and flash some ROMs??
even without applying lagfix you can obtain voodoo sound and color evn the cwm manager.
just use semaphore or any kernel with voodoo sound and color.

[Q] process com.motorola.contacts gone

Ok I got zealous and killed it in my quest to delete all bloat ware. I did not think that this would be a problem so I did a factory wipe and reload. After the reload it is still gone is there anyway to load this back in?
phone info droid 4 6.16.219 stock rooted.
Usually its a better idea to freeze apps with titanium backup then to delete them, but I did the same thing You have two options ( as far as I can see)
1. Find someone that has a com.motorola.contacts.apk ( I cant help you there, I'm on the ICS leaks)
2. You can fastboot the /system partition back using the Eternity Fla**** tool or whatever its called. Theres a thread for it somewhere, youll only need to flash the system image and not the entire rom (that will save you about a half an hour)
Oh and restoring to factory settings doesn't restore system apps you've deleted it only wipes /data and /cache, so all your settings and personal information are gone.

Guide for mounts2sd?

Can anyone provide a guide on how to install/configure mounts2sd for the Nexus One on Jelly Bean (CM 10.1) so that I can move my apps from my internal memory to my sd-ext?
I installed the app from Google Play and had nothing but trouble with it. It initially says that busybox isn't configured properly and that the init.d script is either missing or not installed. I proceed to configure busybox and install the init.d script, but after rebooting my "downloaded" apps disappear. These downloaded apps include the Google Play Store and mounts2sd! So even if I wanted to reverse the process, I can't because the app is gone.
I would appreciate if anyone could explain how to do this properly since there is very limited space on the Nexus One, especially after installing Jelly Bean on a custom HBOOT.
Thanks!
I think you have to put mounts2sd.zip on your SD card and flash it from recovery. That's how I use it and it's really straight forward if you have flashed anything before. I wasn't aware it could be installed as an app from playstore. Are you sure it's notjust a GUI for the script?

I'm not sure really. I thought it was another way of doing it, but thanks for the info. If I flash it through recovery, you're saying that it won't give me any errors?

Nope, you should be fine with that. However, I recommend you flash it on right after you flash the ROM and before you install any apps.

I'm having tons of trouble with the app. I can't get it to work..I must be missing something. I've tried flashing it right after installing the rom (CM 10.1). I've tried installing it from the app store. I've even tried SuperSu just to see if something weird was happening there. I probably reflashed the rom like 5 times last night trying different ways of installing Mounts2SD.
Could it be that I used 4EXT Recovery RC9? I dunno how much of an effect using that recovery may have had since it is in testing..

What kind of problems are you having? Can you be more specific?
How to install on ROM MIUIv5
First: Mounts2SD is such a great tool!! Incredbly super software!
On Nexus One with 32GB sd card:
What best settings would you recommend in mounts2SD?
Is it good to make a swap partition? 1GB?
Which on should be set to sd-card? Apps, data, Cache & Dalvik-Cache and even System Apps?
One point:
If i configure the cache&system cache to be in internal memory, then the internal memory is quite full, so it's impossible to install bigger apps from play store. This only works, if i keep everything to sd-memory so that the internal memory is free. Now I found the setting "System > Storage Treshold". Would this one help with this problem?
But the max. setting is 10% (=20MB on Nexus1). Would that help even with bigger apps (> 20 MB) to install?
I now have all (except system apps) moved to sd, so that i can install bigger apps from play store, but my Nexus One it now very slow and constantly removing Apps from memory etc.
Who can give some hints?
Regards, Marc
I think better use INT2EXT to partition
