[Q] Downgrade/restore LG Optimus 3D P920

At first I must say this is my first and only Android phone. Since I stuck with V21b software which is as I found out impossible to root is there any way for me to restore/downgrade previous V21a software version that was on this phone before (as much as I can find out V21a is "rootable" on O3D). I guess I need something like stock ROM and not any custom.
Thanks once more for help.

What do you need to root for if you want a stock rom? 21b is the best stock rom.

I'm rooted on v21a and I'll tell you why root is needed.Making backups on a regular basis,use titanium backup,gl to sd and many more apps which require root.So root is needed on ofiicial too.The only root benefit on custom roms over the stock ones is overclocking ability (if kernel supports it)
Still waiting for cm9

Thank you all very much, last night I downgrade my O3D to V21a and manage to root it. Now again when I install some app it is in internal sdcard, and I want all apps to be installed on my micro sd card by default. Can you please help me with this. Thanks.

Glad to hear you worked everything out!
There is a option its called swap method look in development thread but i wont risk it because almost all the apps will crash with this method so dont take the chance... btw you can swap alot of apps by default to sdcard in aplications settings why you want to to install apps on sd card if you got 1gb of internal memory for apps on board? anyway have a look if you want but i will strongly reccomend that u shouldnt make any tweaks on your phone afterall the phone has already have this tweaks on standard factory settings!

I just want to use my 16GB sd card instead of internal sd. For example I have preinstalled Asphalt6, Lets golf and NOVA, downloaded Backstab installed and cant start game because there is not enough free space. I now that I can set move to sd card in app manager (even in stock ROM) and if I do that everything is still same, no more new free space. This is the problem that am facing with and need help to solve it. Thanks.

Need help in getting rid of force close errors

Seriously annoyed by these errors. I get frequent apps force close errors and system force close. Not able to use my phone smoothly, really frustrated. I did tried all methods before opening a new thread. Here are things which I have done but unsuccessful.
Dalvik Cache Wipe
Data Wipe
Fixing permissions
Restoring apps
Reflashing
Different Kernels
CompCache - Tried all values
RAM Manger app
I am hopeless now. Please can anyone give some solution. I will be gladly happy. I want a smooth phone as well as stable and fast.
My Specs-
Kyrillos V10 ROM
1.3 HV Kernel
About 90 apps on 4 class SD Card using Link2SD (Most of the apps are plugins, themes so they won't consume too much memory)

if you use overclocking try lowering your setup to make the system stable, also some kind of apps (ie launchers) are not supposed to be run on the sd card.
Are you using any data2sd script?

What is fcing?
Edit: an app may be corrupted. Did you restore data from froyo? Or try using titanium to freeze whatever you tink is corrupted, eg Google maps

Everything. Not always but frequently which is annoying. I also get this error "Sorry! Process system not responding. Force close, wait"
PS: I am facing this issue since Kryillos FroYo ROM. Moved to CM7 but problem still remains. I have tried different kernels too but all overclock at 800Mhz. Did tried searching for this problem in this forum but all I see is most posts of this error is made by me .

That sounds really bad. Try flashing zerofill.tar. pm rkkoby for it, I believe he has the file. Flash it to wipe your phone clean and flash a rom over it.

i think you should try a clean install, preferably with a stock ROM to see if the problem persists.
clear all app data and cache, format the sdcard, remake sd partition if any, flash an other ROM (best to be non OC just to test it).

A suggestion from my side,format your sd card and then flash the ROM.
I have recently been through this.
It fixed many apps that weren't responding or were not working as they should and the phone was too slow to use.
Wasn't able to open CWM in cm7.
But formating the sdcard cured everything.
Also it won't delete your partition so don't worry about that.
Hope it helps.

Flashing the ROM would format all the apps data. So do I need to format partition too? or I can only install app data through Titanium Backup.

best to repartition, it might be corrupted...

Looks the only option.
BTW can one app (not system app) can corrupt whole system? Just wondering..

as far as i know any writing procedure can corrupt the flash memory, so yes

@friend
did you try to flash Hillbeasts Zerofill?...maybe this could fix corrupted fs...

Should have told that it wipes our data but thankfully I did a backup 2 days ago. Now I have flashed zero fill, I am formatting whole SD card with partition and flashing the ROM again. Now let's see how it goes.

The problem is back. It is when I install/restore apps.
So now I have known that problem is-
not related to any system app (I didn't even restored system apps that time)
not related to number of apps I installed. (I got the message when I had 55 apps installed)
Not related to corrupt partition or SD card
Bit confusing, isn't it?

Anyone?
I also want to know about fix permissions. I believe if you have fixed permissions once then the next time you run it it shouldn't take 10 minutes again because all the permissions were fixed already. It always takes about 10 min whenever I run it whether I have ran before or not.. Can anyone clear about that? because on FroYo, it took only seconds to run.

HELP! Optimus 3D has no memory?

I have an Optimus 3D from Rogers (the P925g) and I wasn't able to use many roms because I didn't have the 21e baseband. I tried flashing it, after I flashed one for the P250 (which apparently would work on mine), the phone had decided that the internal memory doesn't exist now. I can mount the SD card, but both the usable memory and the space reserved for apps is missing. The phone still boots and I can access a few select apps, but I am really at a loss for how to fix this.
Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!

You just have many data in your device. it is like to install win95, win2000 winXP and win7 in one folder on your computer
Open CWM -> go to mounts and storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
DO NOT REBOOOT !!!
Install the ROM you want from ZIP file.

That's just it- I can't even access CWM anymore. I can't install ROM Manager to flash CWM because I don't have any app memory, and I can't even flash it using my computer because, again, the phone thinks there is no memory to store apps in.
Would screenshots help in this situation?

Well. Apparently, after reflashing the same thing maybe 7 different times, it has decided to work. So, thanks for anyone who looked into this. Sorry about all this too. -.-

Normally you can clear caches and it will work otherwise uninstall the app and reinstall. If you have to uninstall make a data backup first. What it equates to is the app dev didnt put a call in to remove the app prior to installing the new version. Ive run into this with Plague Inc. and Ive sent a bug report to the app dev. I suggest the same for whatever app you are having issues with.

I've tried the whole "clear your caches and fix your permissions" thing, and, at least from what I can tell, you can't install anything through Play/Market unless you have at least ~55 MB of space available (even if you are installing to microSD or replacing a currently installed app). I'm not sure quite where the threshold is, but it is somewhere around there.
I can't answer "Why?" as it is in Google proprietary code and I don't have the source available.

I have tried clearing caches and dalvic.. also reinstalled gapps.. can't get it to work..

Have you cleared data from Google Services Frameworks? That has fixed every market issue I've ever run into. If jeff is saying it's coded to not let you install with under 55mb of space left I believe him though.

I can't be sure it's "coded that way," but I haven't found a way to get Play/Market to install when I get down somewhere below 60 MB free space, including flashing a new ROM, clearing cache, fixing permissions, reinstalling gapps, and probably a few other things I've tried. There are definitely days when I wish someone would prove my theory wrong!

I believe Jeff no doubt but I have 66.1mb available..

i have this problem when there's an update for the "Dark Jelly" theme i have. i found the only way to get it to update really is to uninstall it and then re-install. i know its a pain in the arse, but its the only way i found to update it.

I had to move some apps from the internal storage to the SD card to overcome this problem. I'm on the Galaxy Beam rom

Apps2SD problem
My Apps2sd (in ROM toolbox) was set to install to SD card automatically and as soon as I changed it AUTO (location) problem was fixed.

Anyone know how to install Apps to the SD card by default? :S
I've been using Titanium Backup to manually move my apps to the SD card.
I'm on CM9, Hefe KoD.

Can U try this?

My husband's Galaxy S 4G is having the same problem with erroneous memory capacity error message.It seems happen after he adds an app. And we are not sure why the error message goes away WHEN it does go away. Can you clear the Google Services Frameworks without removing important info he has put in the apps, or will it delete any apps?. Sorry for my ignorance of the Android system.

If you're husband's phone is rooted then you can always back up his apps and app data with titanium backup or you can make a nandroid backup through cwm that way in case anything goes wrong you have a backup to fall back to

This worked for me, thank you !!
I was having trouble installing UberSocial. I could download and install every other app (smaller and bigger in file size) except for UberSocial.
Tried the Lucky Patcher method and worked like a charm.
BTW, I should mention I have a rooted S3 but found this thread via Google .

The Jelly bean rom takes up a lot internal memory, plus it installs most of the apps from the market to the internal memory instead of SD card. I don't why, maybe the devs can answer this. I had to remove the xbmc app (97mb) in order to install anything else.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.

I use Titanium to move all data apps to SD, I also use History Eraser before updating apps so that at all times I have over 110MB free on internal mem.

There is also a way via terminal to move cache to the sd card. It's been a while since I've needed to do that and that was on GB. If anyone is interested in the how, let me know.

Ive been working on a universal script to move stuff from internal to external, so far i have it down for my s3 and i could do one personally for the sgs4g but i want to make it universal since ALL ICS AND JB roms do this AND your storages are different when using stock compared to AOSP

[Q] CM 10.1 internal memory low

I have installed CM 10.1 in my GT-P3113 and it works great, I like the interface better than Samsung. But the internal memory shows up as about 4.5gb with 500mb used by apps, and about 400mb free. That doesn't sound right, I don't have very many apps, but I am having trouble downloading some of the larger games, like Asphalt7. Can I do anything to fix this? Am I missing some step, like a nand flash or format? I have a 32gb sdhc card but use it for music and videos. Don't want to start moving apps to it.

now does your device initially had 11.85 GB internal memory?
if yes, then you could free up your memory.
well, i am just sharing my experience with CM 10.1 on tab 2 but p3100(almost same as p3113, with extra calling facility). b4 flashing cm10.1 i had some 7 GB internal memory with my stock ROM(4.1.2). if i would ve flashed that stock rom again, then my internal memory would ve gone to around 10.9-11.2 GB, as it formats the device completely.
but when i flashed with CM 10.1, i had internal memory less than 7 GB now, it is just because it doesn't formats your device, but removes your installed applications. let me explain you in other way---->lets go with installing windows 7 in your PC.
if you install windows without booting by using some virtual disks or some DVD, your old programs gets stored in windows.old folder, the same happens here, its just that you are using the CM recovery as your virtual disk thing, it overwrites your systems keeping your old files(BUT NOT IN ANY SINGLE FOLDER) they are kept as it is. the apps you installed earlier with your OLD FIRMWIRE WILL NOT GET REMOVED, BUT ALSO WILL NOT WORK.
in this case the only way to get rid of this memory issue is to remember those folders where your programs get installed with yous OLD OS(firmwire) and DELETE them directly(just like deleting WINDOWS.old folder if you dont need it). well for some huge games like NFS MW or ASPHALT, dont delete those folders where it got installed previously, as these are downloaded data, so with your new firwire you just install the game with the reqd apk file and your game will run without downloading data again, if you delete them, u ve to download again. but its better if you keep a backup of such huge games in your PC)
but in the other way if you install windows from the boot using your DVD, you ve an option to format and reinstall(the formatting drive option, you ll not get if you are not booting from the CD and directly running the installer from within an OS). the same happens here too, if you flash your firmwire from the download mode, your device is completely formatted(additionally u may need to clear wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache too, from the recovery).
SO IF YOU FLASH CM 10.1 FROM THE DOWNLOAD MODE YOU CAN GET ALL YOUR MEMORY BACK, but i don't know if there is any method to install CMs or AOKPs or any custom ROM from the download mode, as these files are in zip format and not *tar.md5. so we install them from the recovery mode.
LETS SEE IF THERE IS ANY METHOD TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS VIA DOWNLOAD MODE USING ODIN DIRECTLY(but i dont think so).
