May be you can root use TB to remove some bloatwares and make space in the system partition

Run some scans using e2fsck for system and data partition to check for errors. Look for forest method in the forum.

[Q] About Darktremor A2SD

I am using the rom which is Darktremor A2SD compatible. Every time I change another rom then all apps will get force close. I need to reinstall those apps.
Is it normal?
Anyone can help me? Thanks!!
When you change ROMs, it's advised to ALWAYS WIPE EVERYTHING. That includes EXT partition.
If you want your programs to run after moving to another ROM - back them up using Titanium, change ROM, and restore them.

Actually I'm not sure wiping EXT is necessary but certainly data, caches etc.. If problems continue, then wipe EXT too.
EXT should just have the APK's on it, they should just work.
If you're wiping /data, then you're left with APKs on EXT and no data structure for them in /data/data. Might be just the reason for force-closes.

most roms detect and "re-install" the ext apps on first boot. All 200+ for me
Wiping ext would be the very last thing I'd do to solve a problem.
I used to do this. But i learned that it breaks some apps, and the built in rom restore function will restore any apps you got from the market. You need to do a full wipe when going to a new rom. upgrade may not need this, but some devs like king dont know how to make upgrades so all of his new versions require a full wipe.
Thanks you all! Seems that full wipe is necessary

[Q] cant install clean froyoMOD

Hi all, i installed the FroyoMOD 2.6.0 and its all good.
When i install one of the few next versions, i cant do a clean install.
After each installation, i still have all my apps and settings
Even after the three wipes.
Also when i try factory reset, still nothing.
The only thing i get after wipes or factory reset is to sign to my google account.
Any idea what can i do to get a pure clean install for the 2.7.0?
Tx, Shahar.

Do you have an ext2 partition? Because I have one and I'm wondering if, even after a wipe, all of my apps are still there because of my ext2 partition.
Yeap, ext2.

I'm really wondering if because our apps are moved to the sd-card, if that is what is making all of our apps get reinstalled on the first boot of a new ROM.. It would mean I don't even need to restore from TB, it's doing it already
Try re-flashing the 2.2.1 sbf with vulnerable recovery, then achieving root, then updating to froyo mod. If you need help refer to this thread (only the beginning after you achieve root then apply the custom rom) or if mine is too difficult to comprehend, there is anotehr guide in this forum. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196 good luck
Using apps2ext means AOR cannot wipe your your app data and dalvik-cache because it looks for these on the phone, not on the EXT partition of your card.
So, before you flash a new ROM, manually delete the /app, /app-private and /dalvik-cache folders in /system/sd (or /sd-ext where applicable) to wipe these files off.
You can use Root Explorer or any similar app to do so.
Or if you use Linux, just mount the EXT partition and delete the files within.

[Q] CWM restore question

Hello,
i played around with framework-res.apk file,

and the error of the gapps + the F.C were still on my phone.
then i did full restore also after wipes and wohooo my phone is back to normal.
1. framework-res is under /system why when restoring only system the error remains?
2. i restored several times specific partitions and it was o.k is there anything specific about /system?

No Android Market or other system apps

So, I was installing a ROM on my phone, and it was having problems, so I tried doing some cleaning up, which involved deleting data and the cache and the sd card. I think I must have somehow deleted the /system folder, because I have no Market and no other system apps (like the 3d camera). Can anyone help me here?
If u can boot into recovery jump over to the return to stock thread and flash the stock rom and u should b good to go

[Q] How Do I Clean My Note ?

Having tried several different custom roms and flashed to and from stock rom, whats the best way to completely clean my system. I read somewhere that flashing a Stock Rom using PC Odin and Flashing the PIT file aswell will clean/format your system.
Is this correct or is there another/better way ?
Cheers
It's correct. Using .pit file and repartition function wipes the entire storage and rebuilds it's partition table - but you have to remember that repartitioning your device is considered to be potentially dangerous.
I'd recommend using data/cache/dalvik wipe ( if you're on GB, if on stock ICS do not wipe data ), then connecting via USB and deleting everything ( even secure and hidden folders ) from your mounted USB storage.

Thanks for the advice, i'm on ICS ... So you are suggestioning deleting everything on the internal sd card ?
Cheers
Yes, mount your phone via USB Storage and delete everything. After that boot into recovery ( Volume Up + Home + Power ) and clear cache/dalvik. This will delete pictures, music, data stored by apps and apps installed on USB Storage. It will also clear temp files, OTA update files, thumbnail etc.
You can also check if you have the dangerous emmc chip by using this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693704
If your device is not affected, you might try wiping data/factory reset but it's still somewhat of a risk. If it's affected and you're on stock ICS you have two options depending on what you want to do:
1. Flash GB or safe kernel and do a factory reset ( if you want to sell your phone etc )
2. Simply clear history, delete sms/mms or use market apps like "History Erase" which can do this for you.

Thanks for the guidance, i have already run the test and i'm clean. I always use abyss kernel.
Cheers
Re-partitioning from PC Odin with a pit file is absolutely safe....it does not involve the kernel bug and will wipe your system clean....in fact I always re-partition with pit when moving to complete stock.....Wiping data from your note with the affected kernels is potentially dangerous....but safe kernels with the MMC_CAP_ERASE removed....like franco kernel from r3, speedmod, dafuq etc...are the safest way to wipe and flash new firmwares...and Finally...yeah pit re-partitioning is safe..... :laugh:
Thanks for all the answers to OP question. I need to ask something as well.
Is it safe to FORMAT /system from CWM? (Of course after I flash a safe kernel+CWM like abyss or thor's or one of the others)

Yes, i did that on a safe rom. After installing a new rom, i even reformated the sd card, went back to recovery and did data wipes and formatted /system again for good measure.
