during booting, i get a message that android system is not responding and whether i force close or wait .............the system will boot but i only notice problem when i try connecting to my laptop..............the usb interface takes time to initialize and connect and i will never see d phone on my laptop..............i guess i need a hard reset..........if i do a hard reset.........would it wipe out my data............like backups..........i dont even care if it wipes out my videos and audios and other files...............am more concerned about the backup
Any factory reset will preserve the contents of your SD card. This means and backups (titanium and nandroid) and other data stored on the sd will be perfectly intact.
thanks but am actually talking of the built in sdcard not an external one
It depends on your model. If youre talking about emmc, it should stay there but if its an mtd partition it won't stay.
ok suddenly today my phone just rebooted while using a camcorder app called ancorder. but after reboot, it kept saying that it was checking sd card for errors. my sd card was unaccessible except for my second partition (where all my apps are stored via link2sd). then i just uninstalled the camcorder app and all the folders associated with it. after that i rebooted the phone a couple of times to see if the sd card error would go away but instead it got worse. now after rebooting, and after entering my pattern for pattern lock, it kepps saying launcher pro force close. it keeps on force closing again and again. what do i do to save my phone? Any help would be deeply appreciated.
(I own a milestone xt720 that is rooted and apps are stored via link2sd in sd card second partition. i am using stock 2.1.)

I think this has happened to many of us.
Remove the SD card and put it directly into a computer to do filesystem repair. (If you aren't able to put it directly into a computer, second best is USB mode from OpenRecovery followed by whatever your computer's safely remove/eject proceedure is and an immediate phone reboot or battery pull when you're done just to be safe). If that fails, copy what you can and reformat the FAT partition. Basically the phone's FAT filesystem repair doesn't seem to be sophisticated enough to handle some types of corruption that seem to happen.
Some people will say it's not necessary to use the safely remove/eject procedure when using USB access because FAT is designed for unsafe removal, but my experience says otherwise. I've started to safely remove religiously (since late Feb-ish) and I've gone from nearly weekly corruption to only once when I forgot to do that. In any case using safely remove won't do any harm.
Another thing to know about the ext partition--the phone does not unmount /sd-ext when it is exported over USB (that's why widgets and such can be stored there safely but not on the main FAT partition). This may also be true in OpenRecovery (it's mounted as /sddata there). When it's exported over USB, the ext partition becomes a live filesystem managed by both your phone and your computer and neither seems to understand that the other can be changing the filesystem simultaneously. Probably if you're using Windows or MacOS this isn't a problem (unless you're modifying partitions or reformatting) because they're don't know what to do with ext partitions (by default that is). On the other hand, linux systems may automount it (I know Ubuntu does). This can lead to corruption and data loss on the ext partition if you monkey with the ext partition over USB mode (i.e. repartitioning etc).
THX a lot for the advice! it really helped me a lot!! ur advice has helped me fix my sd card problem!! but unfortunately now how do i get out of the launcher pro force close loop?? by spamming the keys i managed to get to the notifications bar and from there with more spamming i managed to get to aadvanced task manager but i cant kill any open apps from there. Is that of any use?? i have attached some images of my phone's constant force closing.

I'm not sure. Have you tried disabling Advanced Task Killer?
I think the worst case solution is factory reset, but you'll lose your data and configurations. It looks like you have OpenRecovery installed so you could try backing up System, Data, Cache, and SD Data using nandroid and then try a factory reset to test.
Boot into OpenRecovery, wipe Dalvik-cache & cache partition, rebbot, it's worth a shot.

Is there anyother way?? Im not so sure what these operations actually do to my phone although i do have openrecovery installed on my phone.would you care to explain? i can just go to the openrecovery app and go into recovery from there right?

This will just clear out some temporary files & the phone will rebuild the dalvik-cache on reboot (which will take a little longer).

First make nandroids of system and data. Then upgrade your OpenRecovery to Androidiani OpenRecovery (basically update files on your sd card). In Androidiani OpenRecovery try to use the Application Management Menu to uninstall Launcher Pro. Hopefully you will be able to get the stock launcher after a reboot then. If so, delete all of Launcher Pro's data from the /data partition and then reinstall Launcher Pro from the market.
If you don't mind losing all your preferences and reinstalling your apps, it may just be faster to jump directly to "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Open Recovery. If that doesn't work it means your /system partition is corrupted.

Short form:
Download OpenRecovery-3_3.zip from here http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/
Rename /sdcard/OpenRecovery directory to /sdcard/OpenRecovery.bak (directory only, leave /sdcard/OpenRecovery.zip alone it should stay the same as before you started anything)
Extract OpenRecovery-3_3.zip into /sdcard (will create a new /sdcard/OpenRecovery folder and add /sdcard/update.zip)
Copy contents of /sdcard/OpenRecovery.bak/updates into new /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates (Optional)
Reboot into OpenRecovery (same methods as before)
That's all folks!
Just a word of warning: Androidiani is very Milestone A853 centric. I wouldn't touch any of their baseband utilities with a 10-foot pole.

I'd just llike to ask: is it possible to uninstall the launcher via adb?

I managed to uninstall launcher pro by switching to the voice dialler in advanced task manager. from there, i said to the device "settings" and it brought me to the settings!!! from there i just uninstalled the launcherpro app. THX a lot for ur help and time, Mioze7Ae!!!
This has happened to me before, I know I need to use ODIN to restore it back to stock,
but everytime I install a ROM on VooDoo recovery, and reboot, I get a robotic woman's voice saying
"Convert System Partition, System not Availabe"
Am I supposed to convert some sort of system partition, and mount the system? haha i have no clue, this is the second time it's happened to me
I installed the Glorious ROM, will Try another, most likely same results.
** Correction, the voice says convert DATA partition, system not available, then it says convert SYSTEM partition, data not available. **
You bricked. You need to check your mounts.

this happened to me as well but this time i waited, there is a part where the voice say estimated time 2 min, so i just let it sit there and when i came back it was booting up on the new ROM
Hi.
I recently installed on a stock v20g Optimus One, rooted, link2sd.
I've got roughly 100Mb free on the data partition, the sd-ext, an ext2, is filled for 1,26Gb.
However, currently my O1 takes 5 minutes to boot. After it's done, for other 5-6 it keeps telling me the data partition is full, and that I've got to delete applications to reclaim some free space.
After then, link2sd seems to reclaim the empty space, and my data partition becomes empty again.
Is link2sd supposed to perform like that, or there's a method to make it see the correct memory occupation since boot?
hi guys
am running on kyrillos 9.6 with sdext partition. few days back all apps on sdext were not loading, so i rebooted phone few times but it still wouldnt load, then it got stuck on boot logo so i had to pull the battery. after that it wouldnt go past the boot logo, till i removed the sd card, then i went it to CWM recovery & did the fix permissions option. after a lot of trial error & reboots now finally my phone comes on but all the settings are back to the default that the rom came with, my sms/call logs/contacts have disappeared. apps on sd card ext also are not loaded but now i feel that may be caused by corrupted partition & i can live with reformatting & reinstalling them but how do i recover sms's?
i checked in \data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases\mmssms.db but its a few kb in size & seems blank
is there any way to recover?
TIA
anyone??
