Internal Storage: Storage Section vs Apps Section - General Questions and Answers

If it matters, i'm using a HTC Sensation running the stable release of cm9. The problem is on the storage settings it says i have 151mb free. However in the apps settings it shows that i have 507mb free. Why does is have such a big difference? I believe its 151mb since updating/install big apps would give me an "insufficient storage space warning"
One more thing. When i open the apps settings it shows 152mb and then slowly increase to 507mb.

Hope you guys dont get confused with the pictures. 2nd picture shows 144mb, whereas I said I had 151. I deleted something after I took the screenshot.

Which ROM did you come? Stock HTC or another Custum ROM?

Err cyanogenmod 9 is a custom rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

The CM9 is a custom rom is clear to me ....
My question, Which rom you had on it before the CM9?

Ohhhh. Was on a stock HTC sensation rom running ice cream sandwich.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Ahhhh ok .... did you just install the Update.zip from CM9 over the Stock ROM
or did you do a clean wipe? (Factory Reset / Dalvik Cache / Data wipe) maybe a re-partition

I did a full wipe. Factory reset. Wipe cache, dalvik cache as well. Oh wait. It was stock from > cm9 rc1 > cm9 I simply flashed the stable one over the release candidate
Sent from my HTC Sensation

a little confused ^^
when you made the full wipe?
1. From Strock to cm9 rc1
2. From cm9 rc1 to CM9 stable
If 1. I would try to make a Full wipe and then a new base install of the CM9 stable Version
If 2. I know no solution
From my experience: For larger changes to the operating system is a full wipe recommended to protect against problems
I hope I could help you out a bit

I did a wipe from stock to cm9 rc1.
Would wiping and reflashing solve it? I couldn't remember if I've faced the same problem before...
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Whether it sure works I do not know, however I also had a similar problem with my I9000
and after a clean reflash everything was ok.

Thanks anyway. I think gonna just delete some stuff first instead of a wipe.

cyanogenmod 7 vs CoreDriod 6.7

hi,
I am trying to install multiple ROMs on my inspire and see which one is better so far I have installed CM7 and CoreDriod 6.7; I felt CM7 is good and faster however when I stalled CoreDriod 6.7, I am noticing very slow response and my inspire is responding very slowly if I do anything, just wondering if others also noticed samething, ...would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

CoreDroid and CM7 are apples and oranges, however you shouldn't be having any slowdown issues in CoreDroid. The times I've used it, it has been just as responsive as any other ROM. Sounds like you may have a bad flash - be sure to do a full wipe before installing any ROM (in CWR it is the "wipe data/factory reset" option). Personally I also like to manually format the /system partition since the wipe data option doesn't do this (in CWR the format /system option is under "mounts and storage"). I think during installation many ROMs already format /system anyway though before it starts writing files to this partition.
If you keep having problems with CD after reflashing, just build your post count up to 10 and then you can post in the support thread in the dev section. It is a nice ROM worth checking out.
It is also very important to wipe dalvik-cache by going into (from recovery) advanced- wipe dalvik-cache.

I had to flash and wipe coredroid twice to get ride of leftover cm7
Try leedroid its the most stable for me
Mr.Nun.Ya
Keep in mind that Sense ROMs (coredroid) do a lot of restoring on your first reboot. A lot of your apps are being restored, as well as a lot of your settings. It's usually a little slow at the beginning, but if you give it some time it should stabilize itself. If not, then the other guys are right, it was a bad flash or you didn't wipe correctly.

True, however that is a redundant step. The dalvik cache is automatically wiped when you run "wipe data/factory reset" in CWR (dalvik cache is stored on the /data partition and the /cache partition, both of which get wiped by this command).
After doing a proper wipe and flash to a new Rom I have found it best to do a full restart a few minutes after after the Rom settles down after the first boot-up.

[Q] Can anyone help me with this COREDROID download please?

I have been trying to download this coredroid @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858418 but don't know where to download it exactly. It took me to the coredroid home site when I pressed download, n I downloaded v1.4, but when I flash it via cwm recovery and reboot it to install it from my sd card I get an error message. I forgot what the error message said. I have downloaded other roms I had to flash, n they worked great! Only having problems with this one... Can someone please give me the direct link to download this? Because I really like it and want to use it on my phone. By the way I have a rooted HTC INSPIRE 4G. Thanks!
You downloaded the one for a different phone. Here they are.

Ok. Did you wipe your phone first or just flashed the ROM? Just asking because I'm running RCMix 3d right now. Should I do a wipe first or just flash n should i update my ROM manager before I flash coredroid 8?........ Well, nevermind about the questions because it just want work on my phone. The home screen won't even show it says loading and then the screen blanks out and loading pops right back up. I can get into the stuff that's on the lock screen by pulling it to the ring, and I can get to my setting by pulling down the notification bar. I can't access any of the home screens because loading keeps popping up. Why is that? I tried the one you posted above also, still the same as the other ones I have tried. :/ I really like this rom though, maybe it'll be fixed and working properly soon. Oh yeah I did a hard reset on my phone by holding down the down button and power button and tried to flash it afterwards, but still the same thing.
I am New to this game as well, but try and do a clean install wipe all the settings and things like that from the recovery menu then install zip from sd card and see if that works.
I have wiped it from the rom manager, but the home screen still stayed on loading and I can never get to the home screen because of loading blanks out n appear again.

As I'm having the same issue after loading the HTC Desire HD v8.0 update please share what you did to fix this issue.
After I put CoreDroid on my SD card I went to rom manager and went to install zip from SD card, then go down to whatever ROM you're putting on your phone click on it... if your coming from another ROM clear Dalvik cache and wipe data cache, but if your not coming from another ROM just check wipe data and cache. Then press ok then it should flash and reboot on it's own. Let me know if this works for you.

If you're going from one ROM to another, you should always do a full wipe of everything or you'll run into trouble eventually. Installing a minor revision update of the same ROM usually doesn't require wiping anything unless the developer says otherwise.
I was just telling him how I did mines, n I didn't come from a different ROM that's y I didn't clear Dalvik cache I only wiped data n cache. By the way a developer did tell me to wipe my data if coming from a different ROM to start fresh... So now with that being said, @ henry, should I clear Dalvik cache and wipe data and cache every time I switch to a different ROM from ROM manager???
Sent from my Inspire4G using XDA App
I am running a previous Coredroid release, so I would think that all I'm doing is an update, did you do the cache and dalvik clear after the update or before?
Before, then I deleted it and put a different ROM on here, after I took that ROM off I downloaded CoreDroid again and put it back on here. So yes, I cleared Dalvik cache and wipe data.
Sent from my Inspire4G using XDA App
Not saying wipe your data though since you're still using CoreDroid.

ended up having to do a data wipe after all, couldn't get out of the reload loop otherwise. /sigh
Oh sorry, glad you have it working.

[Q] HTC Sense Continually FC'ing ARHD 4.1.5

Hi there,
Running Android Revolution with faux123's latest kernel and recommended radio etc.
Everything is running swimmingly except that HTC Sense occasionally closes while I'm running a program.
It doesn't ruin the phone but it's a huge inconvenience for a custom rom.
It'll also reboot sometimes but that's for another time

Hi.. Do you make full wipe?.. Before flash new rom..
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App
thanks rddocke, that should work, didn't occur to me :S
@mrboy I did a superwipe and dalvik/cache wipe.
And uhh, mental note for those doing the same, remember your home settings or jot them down somewhere
No problem buddy and you should only superwipe if your flashing a Rom with a different build. Like 3.0 to 3.5 or leedroid to arhd. Not necessary for updates on current Rom. I never superwipe. Don't like the hassle. But there is a program developed by..... I forget sorry!.... But it allows you to restore apps on masses rather than one by one. Which makes restoring from full wipe a lot more convenient
Oh I've got titanium backup which i think created the issue when I restored sense with the data.
My advice to anyone else is. wipe dalvik/cache when changing from same rom type and pick and choose which apps you want to restore WITH data

Default application forgotten on every boot / memory cache

Hi Guys
I'm using Valhalla 1.1 (2.3.4) with KJ6 modem and KJ1 kernel.
Also using Adrenaline shot v12.
Since i got the Valhalla ROM i always had this problem where all default applications are forgotten on every boot / memory cache.
This really annoys me and last night i tried replacing kernel (from kh2 to kj1), i cleared Dalvik cache, cleared partition cache, rebooted and defined all applications defaults, returned to CWM and fixed permissions.
Still nothing !
I'm almost 99.999% sure it is caused by the ROM, but i have ~100 apps and everything is nandroid backed up, i don't have the will and strength to back it all up in Titanium and flash a new ROM, or perform a Factory Reset.
My question is, where are the applications defaults stored in the system ?
I think i will settle for forcing them into the system.
Other than that i have absolutely no problems with the ROM.
I will happily make the switch to a good MIUI port (now that we have the source code) or ICS port, but i realize it will take some months before that will happen.
Thanks,
Itzik.

[Q] Updating my rom

Hi as its my first post i cannot post in the specific development thread to this particular ROM.
I haven't updated my ROM in sometime. Currently my phone says i have:
Android Version - 4.0.3
HTC Sense version - 3.6
Software Number - Android Revolution HD 6.6.2 by mike1986
The newest rom version is 6.8.* and i was wondering the process to update from that version to this newer one. Or how to move to a different custom rom.
If you need more information then please ask. Im new here and just learning the ropes. Thanks in advance.

Hi if your s off here is how you do it. Place rom on SD card by first downloading from computer than connecting with USB cable to phone to computer than share the rom, usually to disk drive e. This places it on SD card root. Then go into recovery and wipe cash then wipe dalvik then wipe data factory reset. Then choose install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card. Then scroll down and find your rom. Install the rom than reboot your phone. That's it. But before you flash anything do a nandroid backup of your current rom incase you get into a pinch you can restore your old rom easily. Now if your s on it's different. You will have to flash boot image I'm so off and not exactly familiar with every step for that but there is a great guide flashing roms with s on you can read if need be. But if your so off those are all the steps you need. Hope I've helped and happy flashing.

If he is going to update the ROM, you don't need to wipe anything often. You need to look to the forum and their they will say in the 1st or 2nd post how to install the ROM and if you are going to update the ROM it will often say you don't need to wipe anything. But if you want to be sure just read that post.
It's always a good idea to wipe as to prevent any Wi-Fi or other issues. I updated my rom and didn't do a full wipe and I had Wi-Fi issues, I went back reinstalled with full wipe now Wi-Fi works perfectly. In my opinion it's good to wipe.

It's really not ncessessary for small incrimental updates, which most nightly builds are.
However, this guy is going from ARHD 6.6 to 6.8. The ARHD page says you don't need to do a full wipe if coming from 6.7...which kind of implies that you do need a full wipe if coming from an earlier build.
So a full wipe would probably be recomended.
As for normal updating opperations...
Sure, things CAN get screwy when flashing over a previous build, but they usually do not. And if you are going to be updating regularly then it's really a gigantic waste of time to do a full wipe every 2-3 days since you'll spend an hour or 2 resetting everything up. Over a month that might be 18-24 hours just redoing settings, in hopes of avoiding a random error that might happen once every 2 months of flashing. It's kind of like driving 20 miles to save a penny on a gallon of gas. You spend more to get there than you save.
Always recomended to do a full nandroid backup first through. So if it doesn't work you can revert back to what you had quickly and save the full wipe and fresh install for a time when you've got more time to redo everything.
6.6 and 6.8 use different firmware bases...
Not wiping when he updets now only means he'll get trusted, and wipe later

really grateful for all of the responses. I think to be safe and just for the sake of a few hours ill do a full back up and wipe before installing.
