Apps2SD 1.5 stuck on android screen - G1 Android Development

So i managed to root and flash to JF 1.5 ADP then to lucidREMs 1.5 Apps2SD with my baseband version being 2.22.19.26I. It all booted up fine and everything is running fine, love cupcake btw. Then when i go to terminal and hit in the commands;
su
lucid app
lucid data
lucid dalvik
It does all of that but then if i get to the home screen or try to click home my phone just freezes and loops the "android" screen, the new one.
Anyone know a solution? Ive tried alt-w then alt-s a few times and still it freezes after apps to sd.
Thanks

Your SD Card is not formatted properly.

.
I had the same type of problem last night with my apps to 2 sd. in order to get the phone to fully boot i had to do a wipe (ALT+W). I never could get the apps to SD to work correctly so if it works for you please let me know how you did it. I ensured the app and app-private folders were empty on my phone and sd cards EXT2 partition, now i see the apps in both places even though i didnt copy them. new apps appear to install in both places as well and my internal memory is still being used.

Having the exact same issue. I am coming from RC33 with Apps on SD. I wiped and installed 1.5 without issue. However, when I try to update the links (lucid app, lucid data, lucid dalvik) to pull my apps off my SD, I get the same thing as Daf. I considered that my card wasn't partitioned correctly but the apps used to run off my sd card just fine so is it possible the format changed merely by flashing 1.5? I am out of ideas

It's not my SD card as i know its partioned with EXT2 and FAT and worked perfect when i was running on RC9 with Lucids mod. Im glad im not the only one, i guess we'll have to wait until we can find a fix but for now stick with our internal memory

Yeah, it happened to me when I try to use any type of method that's out there with JF 1.5 ADP build when trying to move the caches. No one replied when I asked, so I assume there is no solution or people just don't like helping. I tried to search the forum also, but that's not much of a help when I searched last time.

Funny thing is my gf's phone has this issue as well but my phone does not. No matter which way I try to get the apps 2 sd it won't take. Although hers did work with lucids modified 1.5 but only for a short while (1 day) then went into boot loop. Maybe it's the phone, which I suspect might be the case with hers.

Dalvik-cache

does any1 have any idea if moving the dalvik-cache to the sd card is a bad idea? i did it once and after that i did a nandroid backup and i believe it bricked my phone.
Does moving the dalvik-cache to your sdcard prevent you from doing a secure nandroid backup?
thx in advance for any helpful tips/advice
I moved it based on the instructions in the ADP1.5H Build thread, but it didn't work for me. My G1 just froze at the Tmobile G1 screen. Didn't even get to the updated ANDROID flash screen.
I had to do a wipe and reboot to get it working again.
A few people have reported getting it to work and freeing up the full 71MB of internal memory, but it didn't work for me.
Let me know if you find a solution.

I'm in the same boat as you, I could never get it to work :/
I believe you must have a apps2sdcard build for this to work...
Yes you need an app2sd rom. I done mines on adp1h1.5
The first time I started the phone it took like 5mins so I rebooted it in the middle of the android screen then it took another 5mins then finaly booted with only using 12mb
Moving dalvik-cache works fine, I do it all the time. One thing to keep in mind is that after u moved it, nandroid backup will not back it up. So if you have multiple builds backed up like G H and adp builds and u put the dalvik cache in the same place on the sdcard you may run into problems when reverting back to other diffeeent builds. I always put them in different places on the card so I don't have problems with that.
I've been trying to movie dalvik-cache as well and I can't get past the G1 Loading screen. I was fine on 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD. I went from that to ADP1.5Hr2-A2SD last night and I couldn't get it to link with my apps on the sd. Did i have to start with r1 first or what? When i try to access my sd card from my pc while its in my phone i get a message saying prepare sd card and then it doesn't do anything it won't mount. Any suggestions?
It's strange. I have been able to move my apps to the SD card with no problem. I tried the move the dalvik-cache with the AppsToSD app and it worked..... once.
I had to wipe my phone, so I re-ran the AppsToSD app again and moved the dalvik-cache. That's when the problems started. None of my programs worked after that. I tried a reboot and it it froze at the G1 screen for about 10 minutes. I pulled the battery wiped to get it to a bootable state.
SHould i have let it continue booting longer?
Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!
Its probably best to cp the dalvik cache, then reboot. After it starts up again, rm the davlik cache and then ls. Then reboot again.
Doing it all in one shot seems to cause problems.

So this method worked for you?
I'll give it another shot when I get home tonight. Thanks for the advice.
I had /data and dalvik moved on JFvMOD and it worked great.... then I got a random reboot during downloading an app and it fried my EXT2 partition. Haven't ran apps, /data or dalvik since. I wait till the official JFvMOD 1.5 shows up.
rm * in dalvik-cache in your sd should suffice.
a better way is to mv the old dalvik-cache to a new name, so you can quickly go back to your old system. (mv only involve one inode change, much faster and safer)

**SOLVED** Phone Storage Missing 20MB After Flashing JFv1.5

**Alrite fellow members, so I tried samysam05's method on page3, worked flawlessly! follow his codes in ur terminal, and you will get your storage back. (I went from 37MB straight to 70MB) Round of applause for samysam05!**
So far I've known at least another person with the same issue, I wanna know if there's more.
This is what happened. I had JFv1.43Holiday, before flashing my phone with JF's cupcake.
Then I flashed the 1.5 radio from HTC, then JFv1.5 without doing a wipe. I used to have 51MB left (I do have apps2sd with data on phone), and after flashing only 30MB.
So I thought this might be caused by the fact I didn't wipe or I had data on my phone instead of SD card. I did a wipe, re-installed JFv1.5, supposedly I should have around 70MB left like others, but I only have 52MB, when I didn't install anything at all.
If anyone know why this is happening, please help! Greatly appreciated!
I've noticed the same thing.
same here...i am running the App to SD and i have been having only 32mb of "available space"...i dont know wats been going on with my available space ever since i left JFRC33 Mod to does roms nd nos 1.5.
Looks like im not the only one. hope someone can help us fix this.
happend to me also.
im down to like 28mb with only 10-15 apps installed =(
wonder whats wrong hmmm.
Do a wipe then follow the steps for apps to sd. Hopefully you have a partitioned card. I had about 30mb after wipe. Then followed Haykuro's app to sd tutorial and 63mb free now.

So even if I already have app2sd i should still do it again with haykuro's method? (i do hv a partitioned card).
I also have this problem and *do not* and have never had apps on my SD card. I was on JF 1.42/RC33, did radio update, then JF 1.5. Didn't do a wipe before 1.5, but after root didn't work, did a wipe, then re-applied 1.5. No apps installed (straight from boot) and only 51mb free.

While that option is obviously available to everybody, some people may not want to go that route forever reason. The problem some are experiencing in this thread is obviously an issue of some sort. Personally, I've tried myself to get apps on the SD card, but not being very technical I was unable to get the SD card partitioned correctly. May try again as it appears SDSPLIT (which I attmpted to use) appears to have been updated.

Before i try this, I'm just somewhat curious: Even if i already got apps2sd, i should still do it again using this method? Sorry, Im not very technical...
Alrite guys, this is what i found out (ignore me if you already know).
I flashed Dude's 1.5, and official 1.5 by HTC, it appears that on any of those roms i still only get 51 or 52MB of space regardless. So it's not a problem with JF's rom. I didn't try Haykuro's, but I'm not gonna expect miracles.
I also tried flashing with a different SD card, which also didn't help. im suspecting that it's something weird with the 1.5 version itself, maybe all of us did something different to cause the loss is storage space.
I haven't tried alternative APPS2SD methods yet, just because it seems pretty painful... I will if i can't figure this out.
Maybe the 20 MB was used for the rom and system files itself... the cupcake-ish builds are a lot heaver than jfrc33 was. The same happens to me on jf1.5, H & G builds (Dudes and Hayruko) whether a2sd or not. Maybe a lot of dead files are left or something but probably just the extra weight such as vk, video rec., newer core, opengl, extra animations, ect. May be I am wrong and there is a fix... Dudes G build (heavily modded to be si​milar to H builds goodies) seems to give me the most free space for extra apps. Maybe that is a good alternative for some until the ota RC build is ripped and rooted by JF...

I'm thinking that's what it is. dalvik-cache is like 20mb on JF 1.5 (at least it was on the way my phone did it before I started the process I noted below). Just for ****s and giggles I deleted the directory and rebooted (had no idea what would happen) and it put it all back (same size).
I'm in the process of going back to RC29, will root the phone, will upgrade to JF 1.42 RC33 then to JF 1.5 from there and see what it shows.
It is the dalvik, when I checked right after install it was like 21meg after install and grew to 26meg fast.
I started from scratch:
Installed RC29 (reported 71mb free) Rooted the phone.
Wiped, then upgraded to JF 1.42 RC33 (reported 71mb free, dalvik-cache was like 1.2mb)
Updated radio.
Wiped, then upgraded to JF 1.5 (52mb free).
So, as sino8r's speculated above, either 1) JF 1.5 and other varients (Dude/Haykuro/Official HTC) are just larger, in which case, Google sucks for that, and it will just force those to move their apps to the SD card or 2) I'm a total ****ing idiot (quite possible)

Well, right now I agree with ur (1), since i basically tried every build, same result all the way...
It must be the dalvik cache... have both apps and dalvik on my sd and have 61 free, regular caches are still in system... best I see with the new builds with both apps and dalvik on sd is 65 ish...
Got like 70 max in rc33... so id guess the firmware is slightly bigger but it also prob has something to do with the dalvik cuz I'm only down 5mb not 20mb
It IS the dalvik! When i was on jf 1.43 i had like 70ish free, when i upgraded i had 63 free! And to make sure i wouldnt run into trouble i went in the terminal and erased the stuff in system/sd to make sure i wouldnt have leftovers in there, then i did all the steps of app2sd EXCEPT dalvik, then i ended up with 64 mb free.
After a reboot, and then doing the last step with dalvik it was up at a swapping 71mb free!
Thats also why im now gonna use mybackup, followed with nandroids every 2nd month aprox, and put those 2 files on my laptop and a cd-rw, and then i will update both locations acordingly, and use dalvik on the sd.. I can afford to buy a new sd when its lifetime cycles of usages is over And then have a fast responding phone with a gazillion of apps on !!

AppsToSD Looping! Help plz.

I've been trying to move my apps to my sd card for the past few days. I've tried just about every method on this board and they all result in the same thing, a looping Android screen. I've had to wipe my phone almost a dozen times during the past 2 days. I've partioned my sd card, 1.5 gb Fat32 and 500mb Ext2 and I can see the the system/sd folder when I type df in adb. Can anyone please tell me why it won't work for my phone.
I'm currently running Lucid's modded version of JF's 1.5 build.
Your help would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks
have you tried deleting everything under /system/sd/app(along with any other ones for caches if you tried those too)? Could be that there's some bad files in the app directory and every time you've tried copying the apps over it'd just be blocked because they're already there.
No I haven't tried that.
How would I go about doing that?
in terminal emulator:
su
busybox rm /system/sd/app/*
NOTE: if you get any errors from this don't continue, just post the error here. My guess is you will hit some but I'd like to see what they are.
and then try one of the methods again(my app would probably be easiest)
Have you tried Apps2Sd app here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=177501&d=1240018328
Okay, I've finally resolved the problem but I'm not sure how I did.
Today I had tried Lucid's way of moving the apps. I had wiped my phone downloaded his modded version of JF's 1.5 build then typed "lucid app" and "lucid data" into adb. When I rebooted my phone it looped at the android screen. So I then went back into adb and typed "lucid undoapp" and "lucid undodata" and rebooted my phone. My phone didn't loop at the android screen and came on. But strangely all my apps were back. It was strange because I had wiped my phone almost a dozen times trying to get my apps to sd and hadn't downloaded any apps in two days. But all the apps I had before wiping were back. So I then wiped my phone again and flashed the build again. In adb I tried:
su
busybox rm /system/sd/app/*
But it said no such directory so I typed in "lucid app" and "lucid data" then rebooted my phone. It came on normally and everything is working. And my apps are being downloaded to my sd card.
So after 2 days and a dozen wipes I finally accomplished moving my apps to my sd card. lol

How to Properly setup your phone for JACHero

Ok Guys.
I created this thread cause in the JACHero thread on at least every page everyone asks how to install it, what am I doing wrong, and why is it broken.
So let me give you step by steps of what exactly I have done for me and others to run Hero with out a problem. I will also create a thread with step by step on how to use Ubuntu Linux Live distro to partition your card.
Things you will need to make this work.
Your Brain
G1 Phone
SD Card reader
And the files I included in this thread.
My phone right now is running.
JACHero 2.3
NEW SPL
cyanogens recovery 1.2
8gb class 6sd with Swapper(Swap file on ext2 sd)
setCPU slightly overclock.
Results.
Ever since I did my new Buttons, and the SPL I included in this write up, I have not had one problem flashing any hero rom at all on my phone, nor did I ever have problem actually running hero roms.
So here goes.
First before you partition your card or do anything make sure your card is at least portioned to fat32, don't worry about any other partitions yet.
OK once you do that go ahead and take the radio zip file I am including in this thread and flash it on your phone.
But first make sure you don't already have new radio installed which is 2.22.19.26I THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. To check what radio you have, power off your phone, and power it on while holding the camera button.
If you do have new radio you can continue on to flashing the new SPL.
Flashing your SPL. (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE NEW BUTTONS INSTALLED)
Ok this is where it might get a little tricky, and you might require a SD card reader I know I did and frankly I think this is the best way to do it and I recommend every time you do put a new update on your sd card to update your phone do it through a card reader.
Now after you flash your SPL you might or I should say more then likely will get stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen, this also might happen after new radio flash in the previous step. If this is the case do not freak out it's normal and your phone is not bricked, but this is why having a sd card reader is important.
Ok so Here is what you do after you have flashed new Radio and SPL(Note:The steps on running Linux live distro and using it to partition your card is coming up). Boot up Live distro of Ubuntu, when its done booting, go ahead and go into the partitioning program while your sd card is hooked up in the computer.
Go ahead and set up two partitions at this time. One EXT3, and of course the other one Fat32. Your ext3 partition doesn't have to be all that big. I actually have mine set up to 512.
Once you are done creating partitions, go ahead and put the latest JACHero on the FAT32 portion and flash away (don't forget to rename to update.zip).
At this point if you follow all of these steps there is no way possible that your phone should not boot right into the system to run the initial setup.
These steps pretty much walk you through steps as if you were starting with a phone that has completly nothing on it.
Also the first boot up after flashing the new ROM, might take a few mins at the HTC screen.
Once your phone loads up and you go through the setup process go ahead and run swapper, it should be an APP that's already pre-installed.
Once you run swapper go into the setting and change the location of your swap file from /sdcard/swapfile.swp to /system/sd/swap.swp
Here is the reason why. The default location is your FAT32 partition. If you all of a sudden mount your phone to the computer with the swap file running on FAT32 you will corrupt your sd card, and then you will have to wipe and reinstall everything.
If you set the location of your swap file on /system/sd/ that's actually your ext2/3 partition and never gets mounted and you never have to turn swapper off.
Well I hope this helps some of you out. I will be writing the walk through on loading up live distro of Linux and partitioning your card sometime today.
I have used this method on a couple different phones and it has worked each time. Also I really recommend installing cyanogens recovery 1.2, as its an excellent way of making a back up of your phone and doing future flashing.
If there is anything anyone thinks that could be done better feel free to post in here.
Remember different people have different ways. I have posted this way cause it has worked for me on my phone and two other phones I setup, and each time there was no hicups.
FILES:
Radio 2_22_19_26I
NEW SPL
CM-Recovery-1.2
Ubuntu Linux Download
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for anything that you might have done to your phone by following these directions. Like I mentioned before so far every time I have used this method, I have had nothing but success.
While I can appreciate this topic, I think you need to speak with less certainty that this will always work properly the first time.
For example - I'm coming from the Ramjet ROM, and the process that I have taken.
Freshly formatted 4gb sd card with a 700mb EXT3 partition, the rest is fat32.
Loaded JACHero 2.3 and renamed update.zip
Wiped twice
Installed ROM
Phone went into boot loop - allowed to run for 10 minutes
Removed battery
Attempted to install ROM a second time
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
Wiped again
Installed ROM
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
It seems strange, as going from a standard JAC build previously I was able to just wipe, wipe, install and had JACHero 2.1 working without a hitch. I found this strange, as people were complaining about that build, but it seems 2.3 is what's giving me the most headache.
/shrug. Guess I'll go back to Ramjet.
Great post, dude. I've rooted my phone, flashed a few ROMs, including Haykuro's Hero, moved Rosie back to run on the phone instead of the SD card, overclocked and run Swapper. I was still a bit confused and hesitant to flash the JAChero ROM. I'm feeling better about it now. Gonna flash when I get home from work today.

I can completely see what you mean by that. But only reason I decided to make this, because two other phones that were having the exact same problems, started working after I did this.
They both had the same symptoms everyone else, and no one really knows where it came from.
So I made sure they had the right radio, then the right SPL, and every time I did something to the SD Card I killed the partitions completely not just format them.
But I destroyed the partition, recreated it and then formatted it to a file system of my choosing.
my g1 is fine ive flashed every rom here and never gotten stuck on boot loop, if anything the files youre downloading for recovery and spl must be corrupted try re downloading your radio file and spl's again.
Include Disclaimer
I like your post but here is something that I would add to your post.
Even though this has worked every time for you do not assume that it will work for every one, therefore make sure you put a disclaimer out there. As you may have seen before, there have been a lot of posters that have blamed others when their phones were either bricked or stuck in boot loops.
Remember....some people may do something wrong during a step and swear that they followed it perfectly and then blame you.
A detailed disclaimer could be of some help since a lot of people will be taking your post as LAW......
for somereason im not able to update my spl is it something u must do i keep gettin a veification faild message when im tryin to flash it wiht alt + s and i cant seem to update to jachero 2.3 im using a 1 g micro sd im really not sure whats going on i have the proper raido settings and everything. also im not really sure how to create 2 partitions on my memory card im running good ol windows vista
how fast is this running.
i tried it once without swapper and it was way to slow in my eyes in order to use at as an everyday phone.
hope you have something for me (is swapper this perfect solution?)
In my opinion the perfect solution is making a a linux swap partition on your sd card.
However last time I created a linux swap partition and created my swap file there after I rebooted my phone I got stuck at the G1 screen.
I think this might have been cause because of having three partitions on the card but I am not 100% sure.
So instead I just use swapper and make it mount the swap file on my ext3 partition which seems to make this rom run really freaking smooth.
Also I have noticed significant improvements of using ext3 vs ext2, but when research how the two different file systems work it makes sense why it would make a difference.
So to answer your question, is swapper the perfect solution? Im not sure if there is anyone perfect solution but I do know that this sure ass hell makes a huge difference in how your Hero rom runs.
for those having boot loops, how about help us help you, run ddms from sdktools and grab a log of whats going on, this way we can determine an issue, because those asking for help with bootloops and asking for help is like asking me to tell you whats wrong with your car over the phone. we cant tell if we cant see whats going on. so helps us, if you have adb and not the sdktools just type
Code:
adb logcat
this way we can see what your phones trying to do.
Excellent post! I wish I this was available yesterday when I did my first Hero ROM ever. The JAC thread is huugggeeee.
Not to hijack your post, but I'll add my two cents and experiences from yesterday if you do not mind.

Now I have a boot loop, Hero -> HTC...
After installed 2.2.1 should I pop my SD card out and format it again on my computer?
Trying to do the 2.2.1 again.... Wish me luck!
**Update**
Updating to the 2.2.1 again worked.
Ok, everything works!! Much thanks to Luckenbach for the moral support, and thanks to JAC and all the other guides that I linked in my process. So if anyone else is a noob like me you can do exactly what I did (I provided links for each step where I got it from) you should be ok.

Excellent post! I wish I this was available yesterday when I did my first Hero ROM ever. The JAC thread is huugggeeee.
Not to hijack your post, but I'll add my two cents and experiences from yesterday if you do not mind.

Edit: Also changing location of swapper from your info helped a lot! Thanks, I had the SD problem when I pulled out my SD card to put photos back on (instead of using adb) and I got stuck in a boot loop, I thought I was done for. Just rebooted it a few times and it was back up and running. Good tips =D
what do you mean by "new buttons"?
A quick question that ill ask here as to not clutter up JADs thread any more than it alreadsy is.
I have put on 3 of his roms in the last few days and where as they are stable they are dead slow at times for me. I am using a 2g class 2 sd card with an ext3 partition. How much more would a class 6 card speed swapper up? Is one worth getting?
Sorry to post up in this thread again, but I just wanted to provide some more of my experiences here.
I'd picked up Paragon Partition Manager and used that to format my SD card and create the ext3 partition on it as well. It seems something is wonky with how it created it, as every time I've created the partition, even with different sizes, I always get stuck in a boot loop when trying to install JACHero even though any other ROMs will install just fine.
I've put the update.zip onto my older 1gb card that came with my phone just to see if it would install, and though it took a while, it installed without any issues.
After going through the setup process, I attempted to put in my 4gb card with ext3 on it. Lo and behold, boot loop.
Seems something is funky with the way that Paragon Partition Manager creates an ext3 partition.
I'm now going to install an older ROM and go through the "creating an ext2 partition through the G1" method and then attempt to convert it to an ext3 through Cyan's instructions.
I'll try to keep up to date what's going on. I know this place isn't a blog, I'm just hoping someone will point out my idiocy if I'm making any huge mistakes somewhere.

While I can appreciate this topic, I think you need to speak with less certainty that this will always work properly the first time.
For example - I'm coming from the Ramjet ROM, and the process that I have taken.
Freshly formatted 4gb sd card with a 700mb EXT3 partition, the rest is fat32.
Loaded JACHero 2.3 and renamed update.zip
Wiped twice
Installed ROM
Phone went into boot loop - allowed to run for 10 minutes
Removed battery
Attempted to install ROM a second time
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
Wiped again
Installed ROM
Boot loop again - allowed to run 10 minutes
It seems strange, as going from a standard JAC build previously I was able to just wipe, wipe, install and had JACHero 2.1 working without a hitch. I found this strange, as people were complaining about that build, but it seems 2.3 is what's giving me the most headache.
/shrug. Guess I'll go back to Ramjet.

did you try going into recovery and then choosing fix file extensions... that happend to me, it might be because you have no ext 2

HTC HERO -Loaded new rom, can't find an option to partition SD to run Apps2SD

I've been crawling forums looking for several ways to partition my SD, but to no avail.
Recently upgraded from damagecontrol 2.08 to 2.09. Bought a new 8gb micro SD.
I'd like to partition the SD card so that Apps2SD runs, and I remember the first time I rooted my phone and loaded a rom, there was an option in recovery to partition the SD card. Now, my phone boots into clockworkmod recovery v1.8.1.4, and the list of commands doesn't include a card partition option.
How can I get this option back?
I resorted to using adb and trying to work around this problem through the command line, but all of those attempts failed. "parted not found" etc.
I'm at my wit's end and my school work is suffering! (I'm crazy if my phone is not working perfectly) PLZ help this girl stay in med school!
Try this thread and let me know if that's what you're trying to do.
Actually I found that post after the fact that I set my hero back to factory settings in desperation.
What I did with my rooted and fully functioning hero was...
back up apps
changed SD cards
set to factory settings via an option of the clockwork recovery
updated my rom to damagecontrol 2.09
found that apps2sd wouldn't work
tried to get back SU capabilities unsuccessfully
tried to mimic my first root and flash attempt unsucessfully with flashrec
Now I'm stuck with a slowed down hero which can't allow Su and won't do apps2SD
I'm at the point of insanity with this thing
any sugestions?
