So I'm rooted now....

But I haven't used it to do anything with....
I tried doing the sd card fix but for some reason I can't partition the card while still in my phone...
What else can/should I do?

Seriously? Just browse, you don't even have to do a search, through the forums and find more out on what you can do while rooted, and if you are having problems with a specific topic, go find the thread for it and post there.

Now you can download third party apps by sideloading and you can also remove the at&t market restrictions. You can also use the app shootme, which can take a pic of your screen, similar to the iphone. Not sure what other apps require rooting.

Apps2sd native option

So, i can set this up to give you guys an option during rom flashing to have a Apps2sd native option during the flashing process. What it will do is while the rom is flashing in CWM, it will ask if you want all apps installed to sd or if you want them installed to internal memory. Would you guys want this included?

this sounds great man... i like that idea.

Isn't it quite dangerous installing apps to SD card by default? There are a lot of them that may create problems when running from SD card. Plus I found that some apps would not install to SD at all (Google Maps as far as I remember, and some others.) They can be moved to SD later, but direct installation to SD just fails.

This is only for aftermarket app installs. Either 3rd party or market.

Google Maps or Youtube (another one that would refuse to install directly to SD) are actually aftermarket apps. When I was moving them to SD to clean up some internal storage I had to uninstall them first (with TitaniumBackup), then reinstall to phone memory from the market, and only then move to SD.
It would be neat to have a simple program that would switch the setInstallLocation on demand. I wish somebody would write such app.

I think that would be a great option for roms on the sgs4g.
I like this phone and it has great potential but internal storage/app management will always be an issue. It would be nice to automatically move third party apps to SD during setup. Most run fine from SD and the few that don't can be moved to internal easily enough after rom install.
Thanks Krylon for working on this btw...

I think it is a great idea. Maybe making available an option where you can turn it off and on?

I don't think it's a good idea,i would like to be able to choose for myself which apps are installed where, some apps can be installed to sd card, but then you lose widget options.

You could still just choose save to internal, then move the ones you want later manually. Or the other way around. Move all to external and move them back if you want.
So my vote is, yes please. ;-)

+1. cant wait to get cwm back. My flashing addiction is getting to the point where not having it is about to cause me to have a complete meltdown. Lol

I think this is a great idea and for those of you that don't want this on your phone remember he said that this is only an option, he never said it was mandatory if he added the option.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

I would love this option. Just so I understand, I'm a little slow, would market still ask where we would like to install, and if so would the market think it was installing to the internal when it was actually installing to sd card. In other words would we still continue to choose to install to internal mem, but in actuality it is installing to sd. My brain hurts.
Long story short... yes, I would like that very much thank you.

As far as I understand the process, with setInstallLocation set to 2 all you programs will go the SD card by default. No questions asked. You'll have to move to phone manually the ones you don't want on SD.
Some programs will fail to install completely. Seems like all Google apps do that, at least for now. You'll have to revert back to default install location to install such apps.

OP by Krylon
What this means is.
When you are in CWM recovery, and going to install a new ROM, CWM will ask you where you want the Apps to install. You can choose internal, or external SD. Then CWM will finish the install of the ROM placing the apps where you tell it. I am not sure which apps will have problems or not running from the external SD. But when it happens and if you run into problems with certain apk's on the external SD, you can just pull the apk and move it back to internal.
That is how I understand it anyways.

Oh, if that is all it is - where to place programs *during* ROM installation - it's perfectly fine then. I thought that during ROM flashing the option to install all apps afterwards would be preset either this or that way.

I was thinking the same thing. erp de derp!
I would be curious to see/know how many apps would be rejected this way. Which would be more work, deleting and reinstalling X # of apps or moving X # of apps to the sd card. Still, either way my vote remains to have the option.

I second the motion. Definitely yes!

[Q] Apps Won't Download/Install

Good Morning Team,
Has anyone had a problem when attempting to download apps on their GS4g after root? Sometimes, I would have to restart my phone several times before being able to install apps(From market or SD). Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to all applications, find market and delete the cache.

Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that and it still does not work.

Did you do anything with titanium backup when you switched roms? Or do anything with CWM?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

No. I'm using Odin to install the roms. Any other solutions?

I know this has to be a common problem. Whenever I click "ok" to download an app from the market, it says "Install", but it is greyed out. When I attempt to install an app from my sd, it just says "installing", but the app never installs..

So, I have figured out what went wrong just in case anyone comes across the same problem. It was my SD card. After reformatting my SD card, the downloads work perfectly.

[Q] Apps still continuing to delete themselves!

I've already posted a thread on this awhile ago, with no luck to finding a solution! Randomly my apps get uninstalled without me doing so. I don't relize its even fond till I to use the app and its not there. Has anyone ever heard of this happening and how to fix it. Or a setting that could be causing this issue. Been happening for awhile now.
Any help would be appreciated and thanked

I have never heard of this happening before.
Question, is it just recent apps you may have installed? Do apps you install go missing after a reboot?
Have you done anything... "interesting" to your phone? (rooting and recovery are interesting, just in case you need a metric)

The only times I have seen something like this is when apps automatically get installed on sd card. after a reboot, they weren't moved correctly so they "magically disappear". Check if they are on sd, card

You can also try going to recovery and fix permissions and then reboot

I've never heard of such an issue of applications automatically uninstalling themselves. So, you download an app from the Play Store, then reboot, and its gone? You should try a factory reset / returning back to stock, thats what I'd do.

By any chance are you using link2sd?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I've had this happen to me too. I couldn't find the app icon and when I tried to reinstall it asked me if I would like to replace existing application. As someone said before it can be an app2sd issue.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

I personally have never had that happen with my Blaze. Every app I've ever loaded on there stays.
I know this might be somewhat of a longshot but if you're saving your apps to your microSD card you might want to either check out the card to see if its corrupted. That might be the problem.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

This has happened to me, too. Just yesterday I noticed my facebook app was nowhere to be found.
I am using the latest dknight rom with Go Launcher. Other than the Go Launcher, I have not tweaked anything else, nor have I moved any apps to the SD card.

This issue is mainly happening on app on SD or flash memory...a restart just bring back all apps to live
Sent from my Micromax A60 using XDA

I know that problem, too. But this's happened in the past. What've I do ?
Odin stock ROM, reboot. Odin Recovery, reboot.
After that, unmount USB Storage in Setting. Try to format USB storage ( do it 3 times ) and mount again
Power off. Go to recovery, do exactly everythings in erikmm's thread. Reboot and the issue are solved
If this problem happen again because App install in SD Card. Try to unmount SDcard and factory reset

You guys have "strange" Galaxy S Blaze 4G.

Hi. May i ask you if your problem soumds like mine? Where ur apps are? in the phone memory or on sd? I install some application via the play store and after a while, an hour sometimes even a day those app will disappear by themselves , and i'm not talking about the icon but the full app, and in the meantime a warning came out from the navigation bar saying "the app xxx has been removed" because if your problem looks like mine the solution may be the same. Note that one of mine apps has been saved on the sd. In case your problem looks like mine can u please tell me the step you've made in the most easy way. I have to translate ur information in italian language and i want to be sure to understand the whole procedure.
Thx. P.s. which is the erikmm tread u r referring to? May u please copy and paste it for me?

Can't install new apps from Google Play, "insufficient storage" message

Hi,
I installed the route 66 stock rom on my Verizon Galaxy S3, and now am getting the "insufficient Storage" error on Google Play when I try to install apps. I have lots of room on the internal and the external SD cards. I've tried clearing the data on Google play, but still won't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?

If you Google search insufficient storage space Google play there is some good info
Could this be your problem:

Not so many. I have lots of space on both the internal sd card and the external card.
I'm getting frustrated with this, considering wiping phone and starting from scratch, but no point unless I understand what's wrong.

Did you use lucky patcher on this app?

You have to deo-odex the app first, then install normally.

Fixed it
After trying a lot of things, I gave up, backed up everything with Titanium Backup, wiped my phone in recovery, and install the new Synergy Rom. Now works fine, and I can install apps fine. Don't know what was wrong, but just in case I installed Cache Fixer for future issues.
