[Q] Infused 1.5 issues

I'm running Infused v1.5.0 Kernel 2.6.32.9 instatalled on July 9th, since then I have a couple concerns, I have rebooted maybe 5 times, I have noticed that after I downloaded apps from the market yesterday,now when I go to download apps, the phone says that the app is downloading but it never installs. I then have to reboot to get the apps to download and install correctly. How long will it be if I see better battery life? Does anyone have an answer?

1. Looks like a bad flash. Maybe u could try doing a clean install again. I didnt' face this issue.
2. To get a battery life estimate (assuming u flashed with a full battery, or battery calibration has been done after the flash), it would take about a week to get the battery circuitry and phone OS to get in sync.

Can I Flash with my ROM Manager or do I need to catch up with the person who Rooted the phone and installed the ROM?

Yes but.read ops and flash from red cwm works better

Is that Yes I CAN do it or yes I need to have the installer do it?

Some things install themselves to the sdcard, try unplugging and plugging USB and make sure you see the media scan message.

Since u already have the ROM loaded on ur phone, here's what u can do:
1. Re-download the ROM and copy it to internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Do a factory reset (wipes system, data and cache partitions)
4. Go to advanced menu and do a dalvik cache wipe
5. Flash the ROM now
6. Reboot
Do NOT restore any data or apps from TiBu. I would recommend to see how the clean install goes on ur ROM without restoring any data or apps from TiBu or any other software for that matter. You can install from market though.
Try to make a note of apps u install from market so we can try to isolate the problematic app.
Let us know here if the issue is still persistent.

Ok thanks and remember I have ZERO experience at this... hopefully this is my last question.. When I do step #3 will it erase step #1 since its on my internal SD?

High level memory structure on Infuse:
|
|-- Internal Memory (used for /system, /data, etc)
|
|-- Internal SD
-------|
-------|-- External SD
Step 3 erases internal memory only. Both the SD cards are not touched at this point. So ur downloaded ROM is safe.
Sometimes external SD cannot be mounted onto phone when in CWM. So make sure the downloaded ROM is present in some location on internal SD only.
Since u want it fresh, u could format the internal SD, and then copy the downloaded ROM to it, and then get started with this process. This way u have a clean slate with all traces of apps removed from internal SD too.

Easy way to fix this is go into settings-applications-all-market-force stop-clear data. The you should be able to download apps. The battery life could take up to 72 hours to show improvement, if not search "recalibrate battery" and that should help. No need to do a fresh install.

I never get the Media Scan to pop up like the other sd cards do when I plug them in

ok what is CMW and where do I get red cwm ?

There is another thing you can try, open settings>applications>manage applications and scroll down to com.android.marketing and click on that then where you see 'clear data' & 'clear cache' click those too and check to see if the market app is running, if it is click 'force stop'.
After that restart the phone and the market should download properly.
Good luck

I will try this today

Maybe this is the problem, because I dont see com.android.marketing when I open settings>applications>manage applications. Its not there.

re: market not working
When you were looking for the com.android.marketing did you did you select the "ALL" on the top tab of that screen?
There are 4 options ontop of that screen: third party, running, all, and SD card. Select (click) the "All" and I am certain you will find it.
Do that and you will see the entry.

Question I completed the steps you suggested, but I'm still having an install issue. Question since my is Rooted can I reinstall my can I reinstall my factory ROM and keep the Rooting on my phone. Reason being is I didnt have the install issue until I but the Infused v1.5.0 Kernel 2.6.32.9 on my phone. My goal is to go back to the original factory ROM and stay Rooted

[Q&A] Infused v2 ROM

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding Infused v2.
READ CAREFULLY - NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION:
1) Infused v2 is not currently available through ROM Manager. Please be patient.
2) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.
Tips and answers to common questions:
1) Animations are disabled by default. Enable them by going to Settings > Display > Animation and selecting "All Animations". If you don't do this, you won't see the CRT screen off animation!
2) If your GPS isn't locking, try this: Go to the phone app and dial *#*#3214789650#*#*. The Angry GPS configuration app will open. Clear GPS data and back out. It may help to reboot after doing that as well.
3) If the power widget isn't working and shows no icons, simply toggling something like GPS in the notification pulldown will fix it. This doesn't seem to be something I caused, but rather a bug in the Rogers shipping ROM. I believe a lot of Galaxy S Gingerbread builds have this problem as well, so it's a Samsung trademark.
Known ROM issues:
-No HDMI support. It was not present in the Rogers base ROM.
-The default lockscreen is a bit laggy. Again, the Rogers base ROM shipped this way. Use the AOSP lockscreen addon or WidgetLocker if you can't stand it.
-HSPA+ may not work properly in all areas.
ROM Manager Installation Instructions:
1) You must be rooted.
2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.
3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.
4) Download CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip if you're on Froyo or CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip if you're on Gingerbread and place it on your internal SD card.
5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.
6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
7) If you're on Froyo, you must now install a file explorer like Root Explorer from the Market and use it to delete the file /system/bin/recovery. You will need to hit the "Mount R/W" button in Root Explorer before it will let you delete it. I can't stress this enough... you MUST MUST MUST delete that file before continuing or else you will get boot loops!
8) Now install ROM Manager from the Market and open it.
9) Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and choose "Galaxy S i9000".
10) Now go to "Download ROM", select my section (gtg465x), select the latest Infused V2 release, and hit the download button.
11) At the "Installation Type" prompt, select full.
12) Select the addons you wish to install and then wait for ROM Manager to download the ROM. There is a note at the bottom of this post about which addons are not compatible with each other.
13) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, you MUST check "Wipe Data and Cache" unless you're coming from Infused V2 BETA 1.
14) Press OK. Your phone will reboot and automatically install the ROM. Just sit back and relax.
15) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.
CWM Installation Instructions:
1) You must be rooted.
2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.
3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.
4) Download CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip if you're on Froyo or CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip if you're on Gingerbread and place it on your internal SD card.
5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.
6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
7) Download update-infused-v2.X.X-full.zip and place it on your internal SD card.
8) Power off your phone.
9) With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into RED CWM.
10) Select "install zip from sdcard" and select update-infused-v2.X.X-full.zip.
11) Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".
12) Select "reboot system now".
13) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.
Installing addons:
1) Install ROM Manager from the Market and open it.
2) Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and choose "Galaxy S i9000".
3) Now go to "Download ROM", select my section (gtg465x), select the latest Infused V2 release, and hit the download button.
4) At the "Installation Type" prompt, select "Addons only".
5) Select the addons you wish to install and then wait for ROM Manager to download them. There is a note at the bottom of this post about which addons are not compatible with each other.
6) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, you can uncheck "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and press OK.
7) Your phone will reboot and automatically install the addons. Just sit back and relax.
Note about addons: The only overscroll addon that is compatible with "Disable CM7 style battery w/ percent" is "Change overscroll from bounce to glow (AOSP yellow)", and for that to work you need to flash "Change overscroll from bounce to glow (AOSP yellow)" first. "Change overscroll from bounce to glow (Samsung blue)" and "Disable all overscroll effects" will not work with "Disable CM7 style battery w/ percent".

3e recovery
in your infused v1 there is step for modded 3e recovery which i believe is pre-requisite before getting CWM so with v2 whether modded 3e recovery is required,right?

No, if you follow the CWM installation instructions then modified 3e recovery is not required. Flashing a kernel that includes CWM in steps 4 through 6 bypasses the need to install modified 3e recovery.

Love the Rom---HSPA????
ok am on 2.0.3 - Good look.
running GB kernel 1.0
everything is stable and fine now for almost a week.
Data speeds are great either way BUT......
only question i have is concerning HSPA i read the fix for it. but even after another install and the fix again it still does not show up. i have a Cappy as well running Miui 1.8.5 with the Glitch Kernel and it gets HSPA no prob all the time. so i dont think its the area.
any ideas. again i get a consistent 3.5-4 mbps either way, im just curious

Is your links back up in rom manager?

The mobile network type listed in Settings > About phone > Status is next to useless. There was a bug in our stock Froyo ROM that caused it to show UMTS there when you were actually on HSPA+. For Gingerbread, we have no clue what it should or shouldn't be displaying there.

Just an FYI... v2.0.4 may be no better than v2.0.1. In fact, if it doesn't fix HSPA+, it could actually be worse if battery life degrades as well. There have been no real improvements since v2.0.1... just attempts to fix HSPA+. If you're happy with your network speeds on v2.0.1, I recommend staying there for now.

n00b alert!!!
how do i add the add-ons through CWM since the links are down on rom manager? thx

good to know. oddly enough...mine did not change to umts until flashing 2.0.4
xtreemlabs test results also previously showed connection type as EDGE on previous builds...but as of 2.0.4 it has changed to 3g.
currently trying to find a network widget that is at least somewhat accurate in reporting the connection type.

Hey gtg, when ever I use the infused rom, my battery life always takes a nose dive. Its not that great on stock either. You think its my phone battery or something with the rom? If it is any fixes? I love using the rom, just the battery drain kills me every time.

addons and cwm
Can the addons be installed using red cwm? Since the zips can be downloaded from the infused devel thread...and in the past I've used rom mgr seems like it just uses cwm anyway...
I can't get a list of addons (assuming there is one, that is) when clicking gtg in rom mgr. Seems like I read gtg took down the rom list so that may explain the error I get when using rom mgr. Tia.

Hey Gtg, I'm running 2.0.0 currently and I'd like to upgrade to 2.0.1, but
I can only find the full version. Do you have a link to the smaller, upgrade version anywhere?

Stickied.

ok loaded up 2.0.4 and have tested the network speeds, they maybe a lil more consistant. i was looking as
3.9 - 1.8
4.6 - 1.2
4.3 - .8
5.6 - 1.6
3.6 - 1.0
on the new rom with speedtest.net.
can say that those results where better or at least more consistent than when i was on 2.0.3.

1) Sometimes GB will go nuts on your battery, try rebooting.
2) If this doesn't fix it, try seeing if disabling wifi changes things. Some people have experienced a weird issue where wifi being on kills the battery. Unfortunately it doesn't affect everyone, and so far doesn't seem to have affected any devs which makes it a pain to debug.

Would it be possible to get working version of Buddies NOw for this ROM?

Just wondering if I'm going from infused froyo to gb if I have to redo cwm and root and rom manager or just do I from cwm and just flash and then just get rom manager and I'm sure the rom is rooted already so that will be fine. Just want to make sure what needs to be done. If some one can let me know I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance...

Signal and speed is horrible.

I'm running cyanogenmod. Should I backup cyanogenmod, flash a sense rom and update my prl? Then restore back to my backed up rom?
Sent from my EVO Shift 4g using BASEDtalk

Is this something that just started happening or has it always been terrible? If it just started you can call Sprint and check for outages. It probably couldn't hurt to update your prl, i believe there was a update recently. Also, are you using the latest radios? Some say the new radio doesn't help but I actually saw a slight improvement in signal and speed after I updated.
Sent from Gingerbread Speedy 4G

+1 to what crump said. I personally saw a big improvemnet with the new radios. But you can also try THIS thread to improve 3G. This ONE is for 4G.

PRL or profile update wont make a difference and neither will the radio version.
Do the following:
1) Backup all of your apps/pictures/data/sdcard
2) Open ROM manager and flash the latest Clockwork recovery.
3) Download the latest nightly and google apps (there is a gapps828 at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ )
4) Wipe everything. Wipe /system , dalvik cache, cache, battery stats, and every folder under advanced.
5) Repartition SD card with 1024mb for EXT and max for swap.
6) Flash latest CM7 nightly and google apps.
7) Reboot phone, wait 10 minutes for dalvik cache to rebuild (spinning boot animation)
8) Cancel setup when it says welcome to Android. Do not add your google account yet.
9) Turn off auto restore from market under privacy settings
10) Change Cyanogenmod performance settings CPU governor to "ondemand" or "performance" with min cpu speed of 200mhz and max cpu speed of 1500mhz.
11) Make sure Maps, Gmail, Talk and Voice are installed.
Let me know how that works for you.
Doing this fixed my GPS/Wifi/4G issues. Sometimes you just have to COMPLETELY wipe EVERYTHING and when you flash by just installing the latest nightly some settings might get screwed up.

Recommended ROMS over V21A Official LG ROM?

Hey guys. I just recently picked up an Unlocked LG Optimus P920 off eBay for a great price. It's running software LGP920-V21A but the battery life on the thing is really abysmal. What's a better ROM for the LG P920 that can still utilize the 3D camera? Would I have to go back to Froyo? There seems to be a lot of ROMs in here but I'd like one that would still let me use the 3D camera. Any help on this would be great because Gingerbread V21A sucks.

Try flashing v21D. Then, if you still think it's slow/battery life sucks, try CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1. Instructions to install CM7 (taken from a post of mine in another thread):
Download CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 and GApps.
Transfer both zip files to the internal sdcard.
Make sure your phone is rooted and ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
[OPTIONAL] Backup your apps using Titanium Backup (user apps+data only) and your SMSes and call logs if desired.
Power off your phone, then boot to CWM while pressing the 3D + Volume Down + Power buttons (in that order).
Make sure you select "wipe data/factory reset" and in advanced option, select 'clear dalvik cache'
Now tap on "flash .zip through sdcard", tap on "browse .zip from internal sdcard", then flash CyanogenMod 7.2 first, then GApps.
Press back a few times until you reach the main menu, select "reboot system now"
After your phone boots (it will take a while, be patient), set it up normally.
[OPTIONAL] Restore your Titanium Backup and/or SMS and/or call logs.
If you're trying to flash another rom, download the rom and continue from step 2. You do not need to flash GApps.

BTW How much did you pay for it? I would be willing to put my O3D up for sale as well.

Surprisingly not that much. I paid $399.99 for it with free shipping on eBay. The phone was barely used, not a scratch on it. Practically brand new in my opinion, box and everything. Where can I find this V21D? I downloaded the Lestatious Biohazard V21D and so far, it's been working fine. Battery still seems to drain when I'm not even using it.

I've read that CyanogenMod, you can't use the 3D camera. Will I still be able to use the 3D camera and all of the neat 3D apps with this ROM? Thanks for the reply. There's so many ROMS in this Development thread, I don't know which one to try first.

How much battery life are you getting? if its in 90s in morning and by 9pm in 10s then its very good. don't expect much from it. you also should get rid of all the bloatware. Keep the brightness at low ends less than 25%. I have placed a shortcut to brightness setting to change to high for playing games or viewing pics/movies.

My phone lasts about 2 days on about 1 hour of internet usage, a lot of music and some Angry Birds Space. Taken on CyanogenMod 7.2, ymmv. Stock battery if you're curious.

Also get rid of, or patch anything with google ads or continual updating like weather appz etc.

I Think you can use any GB rom.. You have some custom ROM's in development section that are pretty good, i've tried all of them and they run good, fast and smooth, i'm not going to tell what i prefer because some rom's have something that other's dont and vice versa...
About the battery, i only can have good battery life without data or wifi on, when i use 3D/pic's/games the battery starts to go also but in this case its normal.
Install Clock work from market, put the ROM that you've choosen in internal SD and by CWM Recovery you can flash it.
Edit: the Cyanogen is the only ROM that i've known that still doesn't have the full 3D functions..

That's because it's based on AOSP and does not have LG's proprietary Real3D framework. The other ROMs are based on LG's official firmware and so will have 3D functions included.

Maybe it's because I have CM7, have zero mods and stripped down the installation some more Deleted some useless things in /system and have very few ad-laden games. By the end of the second day I would have about 15% battery remaining

Damn, if you could put together a tutorial, I'd like to try to install the CM7 ROM the way you did if I can get two days worth of juice before recharging. Would you consider making a tutorial on what exactly you put into the ROM and took out?

As for deleting apps, it really depends on what you need and what you don't. For example, I deleted ADWLauncher and installed LauncherPro instead. You can delete a bunch of stuff like DSPManager, DeskClock, FileManager, LatinIME, PicoTts, Protips, QuickSearchBox, RomManager, Stk, TtsService if you don't use them. You can delete even more apks depending on your usage (make a CWM backup or use adb pull /system before doing any of this) if you want. The apks I removed generally eat up some RAM so deleting things like the Text-to-speech service is a good idea if you don't use it. Also, usage patterns affect the battery life a lot. Do give it a try and good luck
PS. When I boot up my phone with an installation like this, I can get up to 270MB free RAM which is impossible to get on stock/stock-based roms

This is roughly what I did.
Flash v21D.
Download CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 and GApps.
Transfer both zip files to the internal sdcard.
Make sure your phone is rooted and ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
[OPTIONAL] Backup your apps using Titanium Backup (user apps+data only) and your SMSes and call logs if desired.
Power off your phone, then boot to CWM while pressing the 3D + Volume Down + Power buttons (in that order).
Make sure you select "wipe data/factory reset" and in advanced option, select 'clear dalvik cache'
Now tap on "flash .zip through sdcard", tap on "browse .zip from internal sdcard".
Flash CyanogenMod 7.2 first, then GApps.
Press back a few times until you reach the main menu, select "reboot system now"

I'm actually having trouble flashing V21D onto the phone. Every time I run the LG updating App, it always says that I have the latest version of V21A and that I don't need to Update my phone. Is there another method to flashing the V21D onto my phone? I'm currently running the Lestatious Biohazard ROM based V21D but I still have the V21A baseband. How can I flash V21D onto my phone and remove V21A?

Use the instructions here plus the kdz file here. Download the .kdz file before following the instructions in the first link.

I'm currently using rushdroid and I'm finding it quite good.

I saw that ROM in the Android Development thread, does it allow you to take 3D pictures?

Flashing the V21D is a total pain in the ass. I followed all the instructions on that thread to the T and the update still won't get me past 6 percent. The connection would then time out and I'd have to restart the process.
The steps say to put the device in download mode but I can never tell when I'm in it or not. Can anyone elaborate on Download Mode and how to put your O3D in it.
I guess I'm doomed to stay on the battery sucking V21A until I can get it to work.
EDIT: By some divine miracle, I actually got the thing to work. I successfully flashed V21D onto my phone and hopefully, the battery life will improve. Thanks for your help Panda.

any diferences betwn 20a and 21d??

[Q] Using ROM: "JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM", but Apps go away after Reboot

Hi All,
I seriously read all 17 pages of SAUROM's Dev page and only found 1 other use having this issue but post has no response:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20344195&postcount=31
I also searched and most people have somewhat similar issues but not like mine where it works first time fine then upon reboot Apps disappear.
I've rooted my Infuse a long time ago and have been ROM'ing it for several months now. I've changed several ROMs and some have lots of pieces I love but has issues with something I really need (like bluetooth).
So I gave SAUROM 'One rom to rule em all' a shot. I actually really am impressed upon initial Flash. I made lots of changes, and then lost root/SU, then found SU-fix and applied. It worked for about one day then when I reboot my Apps (including Market) were dimmed-out. So I tried to search but no decent threads.
I thought perhaps another Flash of the ROM would fix, but same issue, then thought perhaps a kernel change so I did that too.
But I just did it again and during first boot everything looks good, I make changes add my gmail acct, use some Apps (actually last time I used Supercharger and installed busybox) but even prior to this it was doing the same thing. Then thinking perhaps it might have fixed it, rebooted and still same thing.
Is there any *.zip or setting that perhaps I can check to fix this? Some script that may help to check where this issue lies? How about fstab file that I can check and edit to fix this??
This happens every time I reboot! I installed apps last night and actually held off posting this, then this morning I rebooted and Apps disappear again (even Play Store).

First thanks for the response bigfau!
I have checked this to see if this option would be a good way to resolve my issue but weird thing is that these dimmed-out apps that appear to be on my sdcard actually go away. If they were truly installed on sdcard like SS above says, then I should be able to:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > On SD Card >
Select App > "Move to phone" but they're not there, only XDA Premium . (attached SS)
After a reboot, I have to go to My Files, App_Manager > App_Backup > user_apps > Re-install My Apps again. But any reboot puts me back at square one.

1. Uninstall and install your launcher app (don't restore)
2. Wipe your dalvik cache (if rooted)
Try this and let me know if that helps.

*Thanks, your response makes sense as I remember TWLauncher errors with this ROM and think yes my Launcher is the culprit.
Ive been trying to Uninstall and install a launcher (which I thought would be relatively simple).
1. I downloaded/installed 2 different Launchers (Launcher Pro & Go Launcher Ex) from Play Store.
2. Downloaded TW4Manager.apk, tw4key.zip, and ShareApp.apk (for TWLauncer 4.5).
3. Moved TouchWiz30Launcher.apk out of system/apps/ and backed up *just in case*, then rebooted into Recovery and Wiped Dalvik Cache.
When it was booting, it stayed on the Galaxy S boot animation screen for the longest and never booted.
I decided to attempt to Flash Saurom again, (wipe user data, which cache, wipe Dalvik Cache, install ROM zip) and I'm trying again.
But seems like I got some weird chicken/egg thing going on. I can only install apps while booted or phone is on.
Did i do something incorrect?

Isn't this how it works? I am not sure how you would install apps when the phone is turned off? Or do you mean screen on?

Hi diablo009,
Sorry what I was referring to was that it seems yes I can install Apps while phone is on, but they're only available during that time (after installed). Its like they are in RAM and lose them if I shutdown or reboot.
I'm sure it's not the ROM I used as stated in the Title because I've recently done lots of testing on my phone. I again Re-flashed the ROM again doing:
1. Wipe user data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, install ROM .zip.
2. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
*Ive tried this with and without reboot in between 1 & 2.
Still same symptoms, loads first time fine. Runs setup, is rooted, can install Apps, then upon reboot they're gone.
So I said okay let's test out another ROM to see if same results, and so yesterday I changed to GamerzRom v8.1, then upped to 9.0 and same results with Apps.
I've used different kernel's (DD_03042012.zip & kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip), used diff ROMs, and have also attempted to get back to Stock either by using:
-SGH-I997_UCLB3_INFUSE.zip (I guess this is Stock with Root & couple more things)
-Get back to Stock ROM by using Download-Mode and SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
After either of these, attempt to re-flash and see if problems go away but they haven't.
Weird thing is sometimes I lose SU/Root sometimes I don't. I'm sure it's something I've done to my phone or the filesystem which is why I'd like to be able to check it out, like fstab, mtab (if there's one), permissions or something else but I'm not sure what to look for =/
Thoughts or other areas I can check?
A checklist would be awesome right now if I could find one....

Backup the data you have on your internal/external SD cards, and format them please. And try to install an app, reboot, and let me know if the issue is still present.

SD
I had the same issue. I blamed it on a bad SD card. I removed the SD card all together and never had the problem since. I only had the stock 2gb card in there so it was not worth the hassle.

This is what even I am suspecting now. So only wanted him to format both internal and external. And this one reason I recommend no less than class 6 cards for phones, preferably class 10.
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
1. Clean wipe and ROM install
2. Clean wipe with a different ROM
3. Clear dalvik cache and cache
4. Wipe data for launcher
5. Fresh install of launcher
6. Fresh install of apps and no restoring with TiBu
7. Formatting internal and external memory
8. Take out external memory
9. Change external SD card
There's your checklist, as far as I can think of. And I have marked in green the options you said you have tried.

Hi, you just have to replace the file vold. Fstab and place it on /system /etc
Pm with your mail and I will send to you b/c I have it with me but don't know how to upload here
The file is suppose to say that the apps must stay on the sdcard..
Qkster explain that to me very well, if I were you, I look in his roms thread..
Let me see

Okay glad to report this has helped me! Not sure if the scard (internal/external) was bad or getting full or what but here's what I did:
1. Copied all my data (sdcard [int/ext]) to PC.
2. Format scard: Settings > SD Card/Storage > Unmount SD Card > Format
*Did this for both SDCard & USB Storage
Result in "Lady voice on partioning boot mesg, (basically inoperable phone).
*My fault because I didn't need to do USB storage? Should I have done both SDCard & USB Storage? Either way I think i wanted to restart from scratch with factory type reset/stock ROM.
3. Boot Download-Mode and ROM using: SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
4. Root phone and tried to Re-flash with custom ROM (Saurom) but need CWM recovery. CWM was in blue-mode, needed Green or Red to flash ROM.
5. Downloading SGS Kernel flasher and flashing it with Entropy's DD
For this I used: DD_03042012.zip, but for me I noticed Market and Maps were "dimmed" out and thought I'm back to square one!
Dunno if this was coincidence or something I did to cause this or what but I think it's important to note because issue seemed to reappear.
I changed the kernel to: kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip and dimmed Market/Maps went away.
6. Booted in Recovery, wipe user data/wipe cache/ wipe Dalvik cache, Flash ROM: JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM
7. Booted up, went through SetupWizard, then realized lost Root.
8. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
9. Boot phone, verified Root, installed some Apps, and rebooted & Power-Off over 10 times.
All looks good now!
So far its looking like my issue went away!

@OP: This happens many times when the android data files on the external SD get corrupted. And happy to know your issue is resolved
