Market Force Closing

So ive been trying to get apps2sd and i have succesfully done it by using apps2sd2 from the market to partition my card and then i followed the steps by Mailman below and it worked..all my apps were in the sd etc with 73 MB free...but when i click on market...it gives me an option that there is no connection when in fact i do and 2 seconds after it showa the force close message.. anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I had the same issue, had to do a full data wipe to fix it.

well seems that a full data wipe fixes it, but then when i input the commands in the terminal emulator
lucid app
lucid data
lucid dalvik
so i can get everything to the sd card it starts doing the same thing again..any ideas what is causing it?

I'm unfamiliar with the method you're using to get your apps on your SD card - mine are running on the SD card also, but I used the good ol' symlink method to do so...
It would appear your marketplace can't access your apps, or, is being locked out of something - perhaps a permissions issue on your sd partition? I had that issue when I first set up mine. All the apps were copied over with the same user/group and the market place freaked out.
The only way I was able to fix it was to copy all my apps off the sd partition to my computer, do a full datawipe, nuke all my apps, and reinstall them.
I set up a shell script that took the contents of ~/apps/*.apk and sent each to adb install, on its own line, and automated the whole thing. Took about 3 minutes to reinstall my 80 or so apps, and it restored all the app permissions to what they were supposed to - market didn't have a problem afterwards.

I have found my problem. This works great. I can't have data on my SD or it will be really sluggish. I redid the flash and the commands, but left out "lucid data" and the phone has 72MB free and feels fast again.

Don't move the data and everything should work fine.

i see what your saying. ill have to try that out, but now it seems that after i wiped my data and pressed home+back to reboot my phone it is stuck at the T mobile G1 screen and doesnt want to do anything at all anymore...it just got worse.any way to fix this? ove tried wiping again and i formatted my dscard so no update to reinstall..what should i do?

just wait... when you wipe under the new builds, it may take 10mins to boot for the first time.
also I don't know how it is possible to do app2sd with terminal emulator. when you rm dalvik-cache or app that program should crash before the shell script or command finish

I had this happen as well.. more than once.
And each time it was a result of moving the "data" over to the SD card.
I finally learned my lesson... and my phone is now solid.

Hi,
My experience on 5.02 h is that the data move does not work correctly also.
I have moved the :
apps
apps-private
davik-cache
without any problems.
85 apps installed and 61 megs free with this method.
Browser and market cache cleared 1st.

I found this to be an issue only when I had tried to make my EXT2 partition too big (Over 2GB). Exact same error, moving data to the SD, Market crash. The problem was tied to moving the data though.

I had the same problem. It apeard after I installed TA utility.
The problem is that Market is looking for it's cache directory and can't find it. In my case it's looking for it on the SDcard and I have to make the directory myself: /sdcard/cache/market.
If you have not attempted to move the Market cache to SD you might want to see if you have a /cache/market in your internal memory, and if not create it.
It should solve your problem. (worked for me)

im having the same problem too.. the Application section doesn't work for me, but im able to still go into the Game section. i tried adding a cache folder to the SD still doesnt work

Battery widget A2SD

I formatted my card for ext2 and swap and am Using A2SD with Modaco 1.1 but the battery widget no longer works. How do I move it back to internal storage?

Also the Handcent widget won't work so I have to just use a shortcut, is this something taht is known to not work from sd? is it possible to use droid explorer to move these applications to internal memory also, I'm that that good with the console.

did you uninstall them then reinstall them after the rom reboot

ap2sd works when you have and ext2 on your sd card, it creates and envronmental variable to tell android that all the user installed apps are now on the sd card.
if you installed these apps before you formated your sd card to ext2 the data for these apps... executeables etc are still located in data/app instead of /system/sd/app
blah blah... long story short, uninstall the app and reinstall it via market. There might be an additional problem with the app uninstalling because android doesn't know where to look for the original app.
in that case try turning off your phone
removing the sd
restart the phone
uninstall the app agian (the link will be restored at that point)
turn off the phone
put the sd card back in
turn phone back on,
reinstall the app you want

It seems that with Modaco's rom the apps automatically moved to the system/sd/apps at least thats where they all show up when I look for them in the console. Long story short though everything started working after enough time and a restart and they are on the sd card now. It was just odd that they wouldn't for a while when everything else was working. It works now though.

might be the boot cache that's doing it then

yeah, im using handcent and experienced the same widget problem.
It happens when you update a program that is stored on the sdcard. There's another thread in here that talks about it in more details, but you basically have to remove the contents of the boot-cache folder and restart the phone for it to rebuild all the data.
Works perfectly after this...but everytime you update you will have to do this.
You could probably just move the handcent program to the phone (i.e. off the sdcard) to fix this issue. Follow the same methods that are described in the thread that talks about fixing google maps/google voice search....its the exact same principals:

[Q] Can't Anyone Help ???

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.

If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.

If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0

I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps

Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!

please help!!! unfortunately, the process.android.media has stopped

unfortunately, the process.android.media has stopped.
im also rooted fine using a1 rooter zip in CWM
i get that error on bootup once i hit the homescreen, with ICS custom rom 4.04 on the lenova tablet ideapad A1-07
i cannot get USB connection to computer, it only displays the debugging mode?
maybe i have to MOUNT sd card or something during CWM?
also it won't detect my microSD card, only AFTER i take it back out and put it back in it will detect it
but not on initial startup/bootup
thanks if anyone can help me figure this out!

bump! anyone
how to fix "android.process.media has stopped"
After upgrading to ICS, this error message pops up 1-3 times over the first few minutes after each boot, and periodically afterwards.
After some research I found there is 1, possibly 2 apps/services responsible for this error. I disabled both of them and the error has not returned. I've noticed no impact to disabling these services, though they are easy to re-enable if side effects appear.
The services are "Media Storage" and "DRM Protected Content Storage".
In ICS, you can disable them (or any other app/service) by:
1. Go to System-Apps-All
2. Scroll to the app in the list, click "Disable"
If you have Titanium Backup and are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup to freeze them.
Then cold restart the tablet. The errors no longer appear. Again, if you try this and it breaks something, you can easily re-enable these services.
managed to fix that android.process,media. error but i still CANNOT get my computer and idealpad to connect via USB:crying:

Clear their data
Dont disable them...Try to clear the data of media storage and reboot ..

Try formatting your sd card using another phone.
I too had the same problem.. i used my sd from other phone it worked but not the one in my phone.so i tried formatting my sd card using other phone.
It worked for me.

Thanks very much!! Solved my problem!!
[I used Link2SD to freeze the two applications and WHAM! I'm back in bizzness! Thanks Thanks Thanks!

Can't even disable media storage and DRM content storage on apps manager... And now I cannot open all my apps . also popping unfortunately (apps name) has stopped.. Plz help me..

[Q] Bricked my phone formatting system, Unbricked, But now Mounts2sd mucks up phone!!

Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
