It seems that quite often after an upgrade (especially when using Apps2SD), Android rebuilds the /data/system/packages.xml file because it thinks you have reinstalled all of your apps. This results in missing apps, force closes, etc, because UIDs have changed and they don't match whats in your /data/data directory. It's almost always fixed by a wipe, but screw that
Download this file: http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/fix_permissions.sh
Push it to your sdcard, su, and run "sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh" and reboot. You should be good to go with NO WIPE!

UPDATED: Now works with protected apps.

Well, there are some other factors, like app data that is stored in the same place but in a different format. You'd likely run into this going back and forth from an HTC based build like Hero or Sapphire and an Android based build like mine, Dude's, or JF's. I can't fix that situation, YMMV.
Except for that special case, this should do the trick.
I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot. Do you do this before or after the update and will this work with any update (like moving from ION to Rogers?

@Cyanogen: YOU **ARE** THE MAN! Woot!
Now I'm not so hesitant to test out new roms! Thanks cyan
so when installed.. i dont have to wipe for a new build?
damn your good..
Thank you very much
Out of curiousity, is it even possible to implement this into ROM Builds? it would seem simple enough. however I haven't built my own ROM so I'm going off of what I know from programming. ask the guy who created it if you can use his work. lol you're the man, as always.
ok i may of did something wrong but i couldnt get it to work. i used the terminal emulator on the phone and typed the command and it says
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
it continued to do the script but said not permitted for each app.
i definately have root as i just installed your latest rom so what am i doing wrong?
Did you SU first?

Yeah, it should be possible. The script is a little slow, though, so it would need a way of detecting an upgrade in the first place, and it would have to run after all the apks are processed.

so may I ask... if I wanna go from Haykuro's Hero to JAC's 1.4... all I would have to do is... flash the new ROM and then run your script and I'm done?
That is the idea, yes.
Ran script and flashed from dude's to your build without wipe. I'm getting force closes on
android.process.acore
klaxon
weather widget free
I'm using marcus apps2sd.
Edit nevermind I'm a retard. Figured it out.
amazing, doing this after upgrading from 3.3.6 to 3.3.8 fixed all my issues so far! thank you sir!!

You ran the script first, before the flash? I believe the script is to be run after the flash. Try that and see what happens.

Here's a recompiled version of the Browser that supports auto rotate.
Here's the download location for the Browser.apk:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/12/auto-rotate-for-android-browser.html
Run the following from the command prompt to install the new Browser:
Installation Instructions:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Browser.odex
adb push Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
Now start up the Browser.
You may not have a Browser.odex depending on your phone model.
The change, as I mentioned before, is really trivial. In the BrowserActivity.onCreate, I did the following:
// the next line is the original code
// setRequestedOrientation(mSettings.getOrientation());
// make it use the sensor for orientation instead.
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR);
To restore the original Browser, flash RC30 again.
Koush, thanks so much! I have been waiting for this!
i can't get it to install and now the browser don't work and i can't install the back up

Your /system partition ran out of room. Is there something you can delete from there? I've seen this before as well on some of my company's phones; I usually end up deleting some ringtones or other junk files.
took a couple of tries but installed now...thanks!
fyi i rebooted phone to initially install the new Browser. I first got errors w/o rebooting so that may fix the problem
I had the same problems with the new browser crashing and then being told that the file couldnt be copied due to lack of space,
Easiest fix is to just reinstall rc30 or rc8 and install the patched browser again.
Worked fine after that

Its basically telling you that it cant copy the file because of lack of space withing the system partition.
As koush advises, if you know how to clear space that will fix the problem.
If you dont know how to remove things and are a bit unsure of what to do, reinstalling the modified rc30 / rc8 will reset the system partition back to its defaults.
Once your back and set to default you can try to install again if you want

I will be accepting donations if you like my work. After contacting HTC, they informed me that my device is not under warranty, as a technician determined it to be "user related" damage and that all repairs will be at owner expense.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8141983
If you follow my twitter, you know I bricked my G1. I am trying to get it repaired, but due to the long response time I had to buy a mytouch (no point having two G1s IF the other one gets repaired). Using this bad luck to my advantage, I scripted a way for hero to run on both with two simple commands.
How I rooted a brand new "perfected SPL" MT3G and installed Hero in 15 min:

Updated, but still feeling slow? Back up. Try rm system/sd/app_s then reboot to recovery and wipe data. then install fresh. Before restoring your data, open the backup folder on your sd card and remove the subfolders for programs you no longer have or need to have backed up.
I noticed a 10% increase in speed and my phone was far from lagging to begin with.
Losing messages? Make sure that system/sd/app/com.android.mms.apk does NOT exist, as this was an old release. Go into settings for messaging (from the conversation list panel) and set priority to "High"
Most Recent:
G1 / MT3G: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/ZeroXd-6.0.zip
Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will ONLY move user apps to the sd when using a myTouch.
This will allow the system apps and dalvik to remain on internal device.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
I am going to be rewriting things for users without a lot of user apps, like myself.
This will allow the entire build to be placed onto internal for mytouch users.
Once you have updated and are ready to use the phone, execute Terminal and enter the following commands:
su
magic
This configures the system to the specific device. This is until I finish automation.
LEDs have been restored to 93%
Bluetooth restored in MT3G
Porting my own boots for MT3G
Based on the System Image from Haykuro

just connect your phone to the pc
install the drivers from android SDK

cd to the android tools directory

This is the latest Sprint Rom based on the latest RUU leak with A2SD support (I used Darktremor A2SD 2.7 since it was easy to add it).
I have verified that A2SD is working as I downloaded and installed a couple of programs from the market. The programs are being stored in /system/sd/app.
Here's the link: http://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/2.1-ruu-a2sd-signed.ziphttp://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/sprintstock-21-a2sd-b-signed.zip
This one now has adb rooted (thanks to nfinitefx45 for his assistance) and does flash (heard complaints on the symlink issue...never sure what causes that, but ended up starting over and porting the files from the previous build).
This is for those people who want to keep with the stock installation but want the addition of A2SD. If you want a customized look, faster performance and A2SD support, I suggest a custom rom. Fresh 2.1.2 or FreshToast is a good one to use.
Note: It will not affect recovery.
Enjoy and I'll answer any questions you may have (if I can answer them).
did you manually edit the init.rc? and you should mention that this is a ROM, not an RUU

This is definitely an RUU as when I go into adb shell, I get the dollar sign as a prompt rather than the pound sign...I'm pretty certain it is not rooted.

Don't look at me...that's what I'm getting. Doesn't make much sense to me, either. I just know if I do adb shell, I don't have root access. But A2SD works fine.

Well I flashed it and stuck on the HTC screen. Flashed the non deodexed version and loads fine.
So apparently i f***ed up deodexing lol. I guess that ROM that I did wont work..
well just loving this rom, but one question, can we get a updated boot.img with the adb enabled for access as root?
Now that the A2SD stuff is behind me, I'll take a look at that. Flipzmode or Toastcfh may be able to shed some light on how you get this image rooted correctly, especially Flipz since he's using the latest leak for Fresh 2.1.1.
The original goal was to get A2SD working on a stock rom, which I did....but it is rather annoying that it isn't rooted (or fully rooted).
Damage said in his point that it was rooted, but I got the same thing you did...no root when doing adb.
I'll talk to Flipz or Toast and see if they can point me in a direction to go.

well this is a piece from some of the reading I've been doing I beleice this needs to be done with in the boot image. I dont know if this will help in your research,
-------------------------
You also need to modify the ROM update script to change the default permissions for /system/bin/su so it can be used to elevate privileges to root. The script is in $WKD/dst/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. Open it in your favorite editor and find the line starting with set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh and after it add the following set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su
=======================
Hi tkirton,
Nice job on this and thanks for all your hard work on everything! I am also wondering what dedoxed means? Is it like where application data is also stored on the SD card instead of on the phone itself?
Thanks!

Advantages:
jubeh said:
...there are two latent benefits to having odexed apps; decreased usage of dalvik-cache (thus, more space in /data) and decreased first-boot time after a wipe.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disadvantages:
jubeh said:
The disadvantage of odexed apps is that, unless the classes.dex is kept inside the .jar or .apk, the app and framework are bound to each other (though an odexed framework can still be used under a full set of non-odexed apks, but not the other way around). This removes mix-and match, and it was the reason why I was waiting for a more current hero-dump that didn't have all it's apps and frameworks odexed...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is just something quick that I threw together after i was asked some questions regarding creating .odex files and the entire dexopt mechanism.
I searched for scripts that allowed me to do this quickly but I only found half assed ones that really didn't fit my needs.
So here's a rough preview of the script: http://pastebin.com/PKxvzMmR
How it works:
After you flash the update.zip below, you'll have both the d3xopt.sh script and the dexopt-wrapper binary. You'll then simply jump into shell
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
and type "d3xopt.sh" and it'll spout out a brief overview of the script:
Code:
Clearing dalvik-cache
Directions:
This script allows you to create .odex files
to optimize dalvik runtime
How to use:
FR - Framework
SA - System Apps
ALL - Framework/System Apps
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
DO NOT DEXOPT SYSTEM APPS THEN FRAMEWORK.
ALWAYS DEXOPT FRAMEWORKS THEN SYSTEM
APPLICATIONS.
WRONG ORDER WILL RESULT IN ANDROID
RUNTIME ERRORS.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
Example: d3xopt.sh FR creates the .odex files for core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, and services.jar in boot order as to not create any problems with runtime. This follows the order set forth by Jubeh here.
I did put in a few 'checks' that will stop the script from running. Right now it's just rough. (checks for Phone.odex and core.odex before initializing, if present, it exits).
Make sure that you nandroid before you run this script, that way, when you get a spam of force closes, you don't have to cry yourself to sleep.

Also, be sure that if you want to keep an app's ability to be upgraded, don't odex it (actually, don't even have it in /system, toss it to /data/app)

try odexing on a fresh install before installing anything, also the fc's after the script runs will happen atleast if its anything like the other odex script i used on the vogue, also clearing the dalvik cache AFTER the script runs wont do too much since the dalvik cache gets emptied by the odexing process
Also before you run the script make sure you have atleast 15% of system space left or bad things can happen, and like the Op said is more than a few words, once its odex'd you can never theme it
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yeah, I dont have much space due to fierats. The dalvik cleared first, I was just out of order on my posting I do to much with themes on phone for this. I didnt see that it wouldnt work, or cause themes in future from working. Boredom, see a new thing and I wanna try it! Anything that can help the Hero is worth a shot
Yea dzo posted a thread about it in the vogue forums, the OP here doesn't exactly say it here but its true and yea FR could cause a problem
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
When flashing the zip from recovery, the whole /system/bin/ directory is chmod to 0755 permissions. This causes problems with apps which need superuser permissions. It took me more than a day to figure this out...

herp derp, fail on my part. Took the lazy route and just recursively changed permissions on flash instead of just doing it for the individual files. My bad.

Sure, just need to revise the odexing order for gingerbread. Stuck doing homework right now but I'll have some time later this week.

I was just about to chip in with the same question, I've got a Flytouch 3, we also can't get into ADB via the usb port, if we could run this script as a stand alone working off a directory with the files on a PC it would be extremely useful
hey Deca, wondering if there is a way to use this for /data/app ? I have evo3D now, LOTS of apps, and it boots wicked slow :/
Hi did this ever get updated for GB ??
Very good idea, hope it can work on modded roms.
Thanks.
Dead Link?
Hi dead Link??! Need it for Dev purposes??
Decad3nce,
the link is dead, can you upload the script again ?
thanks
I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.
Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.
Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.
I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope
I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work
Just out of curiosity, did you open Rom Manager once you installed it to grant it superuser rights? Also, make sure you Click the top link in Rom Manger and choose your phone. "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Yes tim i have done that.
I sent you a private message -- here is the same:
Have you tried adb root - and then from / rm -rf * and see if you can wipe all clean. Ofcourse if the issue is the partition, then this won't help. Also I have never tried this - as this has never been an issue for me.

could something like this work for me?

I am definitely rooted and have su permissions, but it will not let me access SYSTEM from recovery or when the phone is on. Says access denied.

I read that post but the update-script in Cog4 doesn't have those lines. You could in theory edit the script so that it just has those three lines but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to install Cog4. That may be a question for DG.
Do you have the root explorer app?

Not sure as this looks like a patch and specifically asks for no wipe. Also my knowledge is limited as to what harm you can do that will make the phone unusable -- BUT you are already into that realm . Perhaps someone with deeper specific experience can answer this????
Open Root Explorer and remount R/W. Switch to the system partition and look at the permissions on bin and xbin. They should both be rwxr-xr-x

using adb remount will set the /system partition as read/write. This may help.

I attempted to look at the original link your posted and tried to download the patch -update.zip - which was missing on the thread. Sorry this wasn't clear.

LOL, of course......
If it doesn't install, try installing Terminal Emulator from the Market
Ok so inside of the system folder they both have the permissions set to what you wrote.... .
There is only a bin in the folder right before the system folder...should there be an xbin there too?
