Help: Firefox for android stuck in memory

Tried firefox for android beta2 today and it freezed my phone, so I uninstall it only to realise that it locked 13MB of my internal memory permanently probably due to bad uninstall. Tried to reinstall it so that I can uninstall it again but it didn't allow me to install again saying that I don't have enough memory (though i still have ~45 MB free internal memory).
Anyone knows where does firefox install to? I couldn't find it in any of the app directory (not in data\app or system\app, nothing in dalvik cache and data\data as well). having 14MB memory locked is really a paint considering how small our milestone memory is.
Please help.
Thanks

1.Do you have a recent nandroid backup? that would be a simple fix?
2. What rom and kernel are you using?
3. Is your phone rooted? Probably yes...All the apps go to /system/app, unless you have apps2sd installed
4. If it's not there and it's not in "manage applications" then probably it's a an error of your rom showing erroneous available space.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
1) I am using XT720, we don't have nandroid backup tools yet
2) Stock EU rom and kernel for XT720
3) yes, rooted. I am sure it's not in /system/app (mine has got apps2sd)
4) I guess I'll probably need to reflash the rom to get rid of it then. a bit troublesome but no choice I guess.
Something about the firefox is that if you install it you'll find that the space taken up by the firefox is much bigger than the .apk+dalvik cache+data in the normal app installation path. some portion gets installed into somewhere else which nobody knows where. My friend with a Nexus one try to move it to sd but it simply won't move the whole thing because part of it does not install to the /app.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll wait another day or two before I flash it to stock again.
Many thanks

Can you go into recovery? ADB commands actually work as root there.
You also said you have app2sd - I'm guessing the ext version. You can browse around the ext partition if you have something that can read it (like Ubuntu) and delete it from the card as well.

- Look into your /cache partition and delete every download*.apk
- Look into /data/app and look if there is still an apk left
- Look into /data/data and see if a Firefox-folder is located there - delete it!
You can do all this with RootExplorer
Then you should be fixed

Milestone isn't supported. I think I read it somewhere on the mozilla site. There's some known issue logged somewhere
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

Check if there is any "*.tmp" files under /data/app ?
I was locked some memory due to unsuccessful install of "Pocket Legends", and found out that the apks were stored in both "/cache/downloadfile.apk" and "/data/app/vmxyzxyz.tmp".

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)

[Q] All My Files Have Gone

Today I updated TWRP made a recovery and ran it without any problems .
Then installed sga's CM10 and backed it up but after that i installed AOKP but this time all my files and folders disappeared about 10 gig of video and music downloads etc.
I can boot webos but not see the files or see them when connected to my pc.
I have ACMEUninstalled and the tablet shows up as 27.5 gig with 10 available .
Do i just webOS doctor or is there another option.
I put This down TWRP as i can't see any way a rom could cause this. Any advice would be appreciated .
Thanks
EDIT
Ok just found a folder called Lost Dir all 10 gigs are in there but about a thousand files but with a number rather than a name in webos i can see videos and jpegs just not what they were called . i don't know what to do now.

I would bite the bullet and run the doctor. Save the lost dir to your computer and try to rebuild as much as you can.
USE CWM!!! TWRP once borked my tablet and I haven't used it since. The new 6.0.2.8 works nicely. I also use jcsullins ' 03/04/13 preview. I like his cm10 best of all the ones I've tried.

Sorry to hear that

That's strange as I said my files all in Lost Dir folder, I used the latest TWRP and sga's AOKP if I remember correctly I made a backup and then did some wipes before trying to reinstall and everything apart from one recovery disappeared.
What were your circumstances as I would like to know why this happened.
All the best

I used the latest twrp to make a backup and install the aokp build...rebooted to system and found all the files(music,movies,download,backup,etc) missing..I found them in lost dir folder too(all the files were renamed and they had the unidentified format symbol)..this is the first ROM I flashed using the latest twrp so have no clue if its the recoveries or the ROMs fault

Did you do any wipes with TWRP, if so what ones and when.
Thanks.
I'm thinking TWRP

storage/emulated/0 ?

After installing 6/30 update on nook hd+ i get this odd path and what seems to be duplicate files.
I see it if i for example browse to change the mail notification sound. Or any app that presents an option to load a file.
I had accidentaly tried to flash hummingbird version That failed of course, and id already done clearing steps in cwm
So i had to restore my backup of 6/24 rom first, then booted up, copied ovation then rebooted to cwm and did 6/30 update.
It seems to be my sdcard path.
ANy way to fix this?

That is a default path when on Android 4.2.2. It is just a symlink of your files that exist on the internal storage. If you delete a file in that path, it gets deleted in sdcard as well, and vice versa.
It is setup that way for the multiple users that are available to be setup in the newer Android versions.
0 - first user, 1- second user, etc.

I did some reading and heard about that.
But it usually happens as a result of upgrading an installation which is exactly when it started showing up.
I tried to disable multi-user in settings...that did nothing.
It's a bit of an annoyance as any apps that access the folder structure default to that
instead of the /sdcard/ alias.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or a file that can be modified so at least apps
default to /sdcard/ instead of /storage/emulated/0 ?
I suspect if I re-formatted my nook HD+ and did a clean install of CM 10.1 6/30
then I wouldn't be having this, but I've already got it all setup the way I like it lol.

I was having a similar issue on mine. I couldn't find my dang files I had downloaded when looking to flash them in CWM. It kept telling me I couldn't mount /sdcard, but I finally found the same data in the /emulated/0 path you referred to above. So at least now I know where to look. I'm debating moving my default download directory to the ext_sdcard, so I'll at least know where it is, and my ROMS won't eat up all my internal memory.

Even with a clean install and format, you'll have that folder, its meant to be there.
My HD+ has the folder and I did a full wipe when I got the tablet to install CM10.1. Same when I installed a custom 4.2.2 ROM on my HTC One, the folder will exist. The only thing you can do if files keep showing up doubled in selection screens is to try to see if there's a setting to specify path selection. Failing that, try another clean install. You can backup settings and apps with Titanium Backup or another backup app.

I'm totally fine with it's existence, just prefer apps default to /sdcard/ alias
if possible. Comes in handy when you have to manually type the path...much less typing!

[Q] Need help rooting

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with:
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S5830XWKT8
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-1190851 [email protected]#1 Mon Sep 3 16:00:05 KST 2012
Build number GINGERBREAD.BGKT4.
I want to root it so I can unlock it and delete some useless pre-installed apps.
I've tried to root it following quite a few tutorials here on XDA (including various zip updates) but all I got was a useless superuser app without root permissions.
I think that's because the version I have is no longer compatible with those methods, but I don't know.
So I want to ask: Is there any method, no matter how hard it is, able to definitely root a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6?
And in the case it isn't possible, do you know if I take it to one of those "repairs" shops they could at least unlock it? or do they use the same methods?
Thanks!

Well, I Installed CWM, tried Delete_thinkdroid.zip (didn't do anything. Think free office is still installed and working), upd_1.zip, acegingerroot.zip, gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip, CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip, b84-fixed.zip and still no root.
Now, my phone boots with a blue triangle in the top left corner but that's all.
upd_1.zip gave the following error:
Code:
E:Error in /sdcard/upd_1.zip

Installation aborted.
gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip did the same but changing the name:

acegingerroot.zip and CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip seemed to install correctly but with no effect.

no. that you need is to liberate memory space to push root files to /system
Blue triangle is good don't worry (cfroot kernel installed )
Cfroot b84 fix isn't flashable through CWM, normal that your device aborted the installation
Your error message is because your sdcard is corrupted, so copy all your data from your sdcard to your pc using an USB adapter.
Then format your sdcard using windows in Fat32 format (you can do it using your phone and selecting format your sdcard in settings )
Copy the files again and flash it when you have free space
I'm going to provide you a script to delete a serius app, wait a moment

I had no boot animation problems, but anyway, done that.
A little problem i just noticed is that after reinstalling Gmail and Youtube (after deleting them with the script) those two apps seem to not be working and send a couple of error messages after booting saying "process com.google.android.youtube" and "process com.google.android.gm" have stopped unexpectedly and giving the option to force close or report... So you know if I can fix that?

You can do it following the next steps:
You need to set the permissions correctly and delete Gmail.odex and YouTube.odex files if exist in /system/app before paste this new apps
1. Mount /system (R/W) in order to paste the apps
2. Just put the apps in /system/app and set the permissions like this (holding over each file, you'll change permissions)
x-x--
x----
x----
3. Reboot!
It should work

I'm having the same problem (root and get superuser app without root permissions. )but I don't have much of an idea on what to do. I have just swiched over from an iPhone so android is all new.

Can someone please run me through what I need to do to root it (I know how to get the superuser but I need to know if that prepared script (EXTREME) that removes Maps, Gmail, Thinkfree, SamsungApps and Youtube will do the same for me. Also how do you use the script (ie do you "install form sdcard") as you would the root.zip? I just want to remove carrier bloatware than I will unroot again. Or would superoneclick work for me? (nevermind superoneclick as I cant get it to install on computerputer keeps "encountered a problem and needs to close".

Why not if you have SuperUser installed? Search Titanium Backup and install it from Play Store. Remove any unnecessary system app using it. Root has nothing to do with removing the system app automatically or through Application Manager. So you will need the third party app like Titanium Backup.
P/S: Becareful with uninstalling/removing system app. Else you will render your phone unusable at all. (To unbrick it you will need more trick, search the thread in XDA to revive your phone)

Titanium requires root and my superuser wont root I would rather not root at all the only thing I want to get rid of are optus stuff that was preinstalled but doesnt even work on my phone. all the research that I have read says that to remove bloat ware you need to root.

Look for in he first page of this thread!
I attached 2 scripts to remove some apps to get free space. Then you could flash root.zip successfully
Here you have ROOT + CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed files too

Follow the steps:
1. Here you could find the scripts to remove the apps and get free space (it's compulsory for the last roms to push superuser files)
