Hey,
For the longest time I was running 1.9A and today I decided to update my way to 2.8B. All was going fine until 2.7B. I flashed up to 2.6.1B and then when I flashed 2.7B, it didn't take as long as the other ones to flash. When I checked the settings and the about phone, it was still 2.6.1B. I tried to flash 2.7B twice already, both times still ending up with 2.6.1B. Any suggestions on how to finish up the updates without doing a wipe?
thanks

What base are you on (Safe Base-R2, Safe Base-R3, Dragon-R2, or Dragon-R3)? If on Safe Base-R2, right around 2.6.1B is when you will run out of room on your system partition. Using TiBu, "Overview" tab, see what your System ROM "free" space is. If on SafeBase-R2, you will need to free up space on system partition (/system/app) by deleting/uninstalling apps (start with S-Voice... it's 30mb) to allow updates to write to your system partition. I would recommend starting over with 2.8 and flash the new Dragon-R3.. then 2.8A... then your addons (follow the OP instructions). Gives you plenty of headroom on system partition, all the functionality you need, and very smooth/fast. I started with safebaseR2 1.7... and progressed to 2.6.1 when I ran out of room... started over with the DragonR3 flash, and couldn't be happier.

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I think I am using the Safebase, but not sure if it's R2 or R3. I also see that I am indeed out of space. I don't really want to do a clean flash again, because it's kind of a pain in a butt haha. But what apps could I delete/remove to free up space? Is it just any apps that's installed on my phone?
Thanks
Just go to system/app folder and see what apps you really don't need. You could back them up just in case. you could also do it from tibu, I think everything red is a system app. And believe me you got enough to delete, even on the dragon base I had some hefty number of apps I could get rid of.

SafebaseR3 took out 2 apks: voicetalk.apk and GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. (Sean added GoogleNow in 2.6.1 which maxed out the system partition). Voicetalk.apk (S-Voice) is 30mb. Use your favorite file explorer (i.e., RootExplorer, etc), navigate to /system/app, and sort by descending file size. If voicetalk.apk is there, you are on Safebase R2. If you don't plan on using S-Voice, then use TiBu to uninstall it (that will remove voicetalk.apk from your /system/app folder... and immediately free-up 30mb of space on the system partition). If you want to trim more, review the next few largest apks in /system/app folder and determine if you want/need them.. if not, uninstall with TiBu (google the apk to get the app name.. for example: SevenEngine.apk is the SocialHub app).

i've been trying to find this /system/app....but i can't seem to find it..... I know I'm not crazy, but it doesn't seem to be there haha. Also, my S-voice got removed by itself somehow while going through the updates.
You need to use a root explorer in order to view it. You could download rom toolbox it has tons of nice features and one of them is a root explorer, if you download ES file explorer you have to mark in the settings view as root.

ohh, so that's what I was missing. How much space do I need to clear up to have enough for 2.7B and 2.8B files? just as big as the zip themselves?
You can try deleting a few stuff and then trying to flash, the build.prop is the last files to flash so if you had enough room it should change if not delete some more and try to flash again.
I have an app on my phone that I want to hard reset proof not just the apk (which ive already done) but the settings also. ive tried using root explorers and changing the permissions for the /data/data folders but that doesnt help, ive tried converting the user app to a system app AFTER I set up all my options, hoping that would save all my settings, and I tried changing the permissions of my "system" app to prevent any changes. no luck. ive been researching like crazy and I hope im not posting in the wrong forum but can someone explain how to make my app and its settings master reset proof? thanks a bunch!
btw I have a rooted tmobile samsung galaxy s3 (sgh-t999) with the latest android (4.1.1 using the root66 rom), with supersu and busybox if that helps. and if it works for my s3, would the same steps work on my note 2?
Are you putting your app into /system/app ?
Hmm ...

yes the app is in my system/app and it does survive a master reset but the settings of the app don't. Would I have to build a custom rom after installing the app and getting the settings all set how I want? Then If it's master reset it should save the settings, right?

Normally Android keeps app data under /data/data.
When you commit a hardreset, /data gets wiped. So all your app data gets removed.
You have to keep your app data under /system if you are the developer of that app

OOPS. my mistake, I only read hard-reset, not the entire hard-reset-proof :

but wouldnt that folder then need to be moved back to data/data after the master reset for it to work correctly?

Depends on who the developer of that app is.
If it's not you, yes you have move that folder after every hardreset.
If it's you, I suggest you to use /system as your app data folder.
unfortunately I'm not the apps developer. However, if I created a custom rom by installing whatever room I wanted, then setting up the app as I want it, then creating a custom rom from that, then flash it, would that solve the problem? Because (if im understanding things right lol) then someone could matter reset it and it would revert to how the chain rom was when I flashed it, correct?
Suppose I am the developer of the app.

I'm already using a hardreset proof app on my note 2. It uses /etc folder to keep its app datas in a file. After hardreset it detects its data folder wiped, then restores settings from the backup file under /etc.
Of course your program will need root permission to do that.

can u describe how to do this in a bit more detail? Because I have an apk that I was able to put into the system/app folder, but would LOVE to save the settings so they are master-reset proof. I've contacted the developer but he was a bit of a jerk actually, saying I shouldn't need any reason to hard reset proof the apk..... ugh
From my experience, the avast! anti-theft app consist of 2 hard-reset proof part:
1. APK file in /system/app
2. Setting file (data) in /etc
Both survived hard reset...
The only way to get rid is via Aroma File Manager or flashing ROM.
Get titanium backup, backup all data of the app, and install the update. Then put the data back, if im correct settings would be copy pasted to this way. I use it for many system apps to get data back.
send from another universe, made possible by xda
If you are willing to learn how to script... it's all possible
I have done this before...
Use busybox commands...
Make a backup script that would back up all the user data in tar file.
Make a backup of apps you like to be restored on first boot of any rom.
on first boot let the script install the backed up apps, after install see if data exist for the package you just installed, get permission/owner of the package, restore data and apply permission to data.
i think is the basic
attached are the scripts i used to make this work on android 2.1
i even made a custom progress bar lol that used bootanimation as base...
.... copies custom bootanimation on start
.... copies custom boot sound...
.... restores wifi settings...
.... played music while restoring....
.... uses logcat as primary logging...
i am not sure if these scripts are the latest ones... but they worked at some point...
all was done in here...

I'm not sure if the last update broke my apk, but titanium has disappeared and I can't install it from play (unknown error -24). Could someone please upload me the FREE version? I have my pro key installed.
Installing apk will fail with error. I have had this before with TB.
Simple to fix:
(I'm assuming you're rooted, chances are you are if you get this error)
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR DATA FOR THAT APP (You would have done anyway, if it was uninstalled properly) -*
1.) Using a root file manager, go to /data/data
2.) Find the package name of the app you're wanting to install
(Don't know the package name? Find the app you're wanting to install on the Play Store online and it's in the URL)
3.) Delete that folder. All of it.
4.) Try to install your app again, it should work now

Probably won't install if it won't work from the Play Store lol. Try installing via Terminal Emulator and see what error it gives?

Thanks Guys. Neither work. For some reason it thinks I am out of space.
I've dropped it in /system/app but it wont get root. will try priv-app next
Have you deleted the left overs from app-lib folder on /data? (Maybe it is not called app-lib but I am pretty sure it has "lib" in its name)
How much free space is left on your phone?
I'll assume it is enough to install one app.
I had this problem the other day. Do you have SD Maid / CCleaner / Clean Master installed? I just had to clean system+app cache and it was fine.

Hi,
how do you typically keep your memory clean and free?
Do you use memory cleaning tools, or do you just re-install the custom rom regularly from scratch?

Hi, what I meant was that from time to time there's quite some data accumulating, also for the different app updates etc, that needs a regulat clean up.

Cleaning app cache and dalvik once or twice a montb is a good practise
This doesn't let apps bloat ur space
Also, u shud keep checking the android folder

I see
Often I experience also that app installation is canceled due to memory shortage, while from the memory settings there should be well enough space available.
Any solution?

If u talking about installing from play, ya it needs a lot space
I guess (not sure) editing the playstore or framework-res apk can solve it
If talking about manual installation, it needs jst a littl more space than apk
What I don't understand: acc to my settings I have >150MB free in internal memory, but somehow google play is still unable to install any further app.
Should I consider a different app store which does better, or how could I download apk files for manual installation?
