How do I wipe everything?

So I went into the recovery console and selected the complete data wipe option. I then reinstalled fresh 1.1 and rebooted.
Then I signed into the phone like I knew I would have to, however after logging in, all my apps are still here!
Google voice recorder is still force closing on me and all the setings have reset.
I thought wiping the data would remove all the apps?
I'm trying to fix the voice recorder crash. I've removed it and reinstalled to no evail.

All of your apps are there because you are using Apps2SD, you'll need to format your SD card agan to get rid of them all.

I don't think I'm using Apps2SD?
I had a stock Sprint Hero, had it for several months, a couple weeks ago I rooted with Fresh Kitchen and installed 1.1. I never moved my apps or did any formating to the SD card.
Now I'm trying to wipe the data and reinstall.
Was Apps2SD installed automatically with Fresh1.1, and my apps moved and my SD Card formmated appropriately without losing my MP3's and audiobooks?
It just doesn't make sense...

Try erasing your SD Card
Backup first ..just in case

Apps2SD is done automatically if your SD card is formated with an EXT partition.
Your SD could have 3 partitions, they wouldn't be formated automatically, you would have to format it from recovery. Apps will be on a different partition than Music/books.

So if it was already partitioned then it would move them over automatically.
It might have been partitioned from when I had my G1.
I can format the extention though, and that will clear the EXT partition right?
I think I'll give that a shot then..

When you do the partition, just put Swap and EXT to 0 mb. This will make whole card FAT again.
Also I think you will have to clear your Delvic and do Data wipe again after you do this because all of the cached apps won't be there any more.

You could also drop it in the loo, that would wipe everything
Seriously though, just erase your SD card or copy its contents to your desktop and try again. Should be good.

[Q] Nothing will install

So, randomly nothing will install on my droid eris (kaosfroyo v39)....no ideas why this has happened. Any help would be appreciated

Do you have Unknown Sources ticked under Settings -> Applications?

yes i do should i not?

Just a bit more on this. I tried to install an app, it failed. But I changed where it installs (from sd to phone) installed fine. So I tried moving it to my sd card and that was fine as well.....any ideas?

I've had this issue when I had everything installing to my SD card and then took it out. When I put it back in it wouldn't install to it again until I installed something to the phone first. I can only assume that its an SD card mounting issue.
This shouldn't happen often as its only happened to me the one time

Any fix for this?

I guess u need to reformat your phone memory and memory card? Do a full restore and see what happens... but make sure u backup your stuffs...

Did you wipe data? Also if it doesn't work, sear h around for a zerofill.tar to flash, then flash a rom over it.

do you no where i can download it?
i already found it an read good stuff of it thanks for the help

use your sd card for more space
zerofill tar sounds to me like:
writing lots of "0" to the internal sd?
-> equal to a format of /system?
-> system is gone, mobile doesnt boot
-> all data lost?
Checked the features of kyorarom and what do I see...
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
Why dont you use that feature?
Ah... I see... you didnt create an ext4 partition?
Thsi partition is needed for the feature above!
how to:
Create an ext4 partition via CWM
using this feature will move all user apps to sd card
have a fast card on your side and make a backup of your sd card data
-> all data will be lost on sd card when you repartition your card!!!!!

I think u r facing 0.0kb internal memory bug... if so flash with data.rfs
If not, go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache... format sd ext.. mount data... and mount sd ext

i think i stay with kyrillos never had problems with it only when i installed kyrorarom i got the bug from 0.0kb internal memory bug

hmm when i put my sdcard in it and reboot my phone says 0.0kb internal memory when i reboot without sdcard i got 100mb free agian so i dont no what to do

put the sdcard in PC and check the card if its working
backup data
delete all partitions on sdcard
put card in mobile
boot into cwm
repartition the card
check the space
just a thought:
could it be, that the sdcard is only full?
or defective?

The sdcard works fine i can see all my stuff when i have it in my phone but i wil try that empty my sdcard and i will make backup from it to my pc i hope this works

oh... a second please...
I remember something right now...
In my very early days (ECLAIR flashing) I remember that someone had also space 0.0 MB
And afaik the solution was to flash the CSC file (?) or something like that again...
That was the reason in these days why I flashed all (!) firmware versions from
xxjg7 to xxjk1
well... in froyo days...
I know that this posting is not very helpful, but you might find something similar with these hints in the net...
Hope this helps forward

Flashing zero fill should solve to 0.0kb problem, it formats everything on your phone, then flash a rom over it. If doesn't work, backup your SD card and format your sd ext and your whole SD card.

[Q] Clean Rom 5.0 and internal vs external SD card question

Hello all,
I have a VZW Galaxy S3 and am using Scott's CleanRom 5.0
I noticed yesterday that my internal card is 2gb from being full. My external SD is a 32gb and only has a few pictures and some music on it. So I have been wandering around the phone settings trying to figure out how to move my apps to the sd card and free up some space. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance.

The only app that works is link2sd, on the market. But one draw back is you need to reconfig your external sdcard to do this. Reformat and create 2 partions on your sd card, first partition should be fat32, this where you keep your stuff (music/video/pics) and the second partition is for your apps. link2sd will move your app to the second partition on your sdcard and create a reference so your OS would know where to find it.
Note: If you already have stuff on your sdcard, you can keep them by resize the first partion then create the second partion. This way you still have your data intact.

I think you are better off moving data instead of the apps. You can get your music, images, and videos and free up a lot of space (Samsung camera can default to save on external card, 4.2 Canberra doesn't have that setting as far as i can tell). Advantage of this is that even if you brick / break / wipe your phone you can still retrieve your images and music. Pop the card in a new phone and everything is still there. More than that, have titanium backup on the external card and easily transfer non-system apps to the new phone.

Let me make sure I understand correctly. The app will guide you through the partitioning process or is this something I have to do independent from the app?
Thanks in advance.

First I guess I need to explain that I still use iTunes in conjunction with Tune Sync for my music so back up isn't an issue for music. My photos are uploaded to SmugMug so they too are backed up. It just seems that my data and apps are hogging the internal SD.
I have TB Pro installed but admittedly don't know much about it yet as I have converted from the Dark Side (IOS). So, how do I get it to do what I need? Perhaps there is a tutorial somewhere on YouTube I could look up.
EDIT: I found the setting in Camera storage but no option to change it. I just says "SD Card" I assume that is internal SD?

You have to do it manually. It's pretty simple, may take around 20min. Just download the "gparted" iso image, then use imgburn to burn this image on your cd, reboot with cd as default boot device instead of your harddisk, once you booted into gpart operating system, there will be a gui you could use to partion your sdcard, first resize your existing partion, then create a new one from the unallocate partion as ext4. Remember both partion have to be PRIMARY and set the ext4 to boot (once you create the ext4, just right click, select flag then select boot).

How to use link2sd.
click on the app you want to move then select "link to sd" button. Don't click on move app to sd, this is for the old GB rom only.

Thank you for all of this. I won't be able to do this until I return where I can burn the image. Looks fairly simple and I will give it a go when I return to work.

You could always plug your phone into your computer and drop and drag the files you want over to your external card.

You only can move video/music/pictures/backup files etc.. to your ext sdcard, but you cannot move your apps to external card. Your apps will stopped working. Link2sd allowed you to install all your downdoad apps to your SDcard (most of them, some apps required to stay internal, like widgets etc...)

I should have been more clear. What I suggested was just for backing up files in case the internal memory were to get wiped, example being if a new ROM was flashed with Odin, back to stock, etc. Thanks.

I did more research prior to moving them manually and found that what you just posted would have that affect. So, I still haven't done anything. My computer is old and not capable of burning a disc so I need to use a work computer but will have to do it after hours.
On a semi- related matter, since flashing CR 5.0 my settings for "Nearby Devices" is grayed out. I have been using this in conjunction with viewing photos on my TV. Any thoughts on why this might have happened? I re-flashed without success in gaining access.

I believe you need to install Allshare in order for this option to work.

Is there a way to download and install the Allshare app separately? I didn't choose it when doing the CR5.0 install. I looked on the playstore, but don't see it. I was going to re-install the ROM, but would rather just load the app if i could.

Only way I know is to flash ROM again. I don't use it. You don't have to wipe data just cache and dalvik.

Thanks for that information. I wonder if Allshare is available somewhere? Google is my friend...

This appears to be the Allshare app. It does everything the stock app did. I'll try it and report back.

Well, it was worth asking the question. I will be reflashing the ROM tonight. I just noticed a issue with what I believe would be the KindaCrap mods I installed. I removed the clock from the notification bar, and changed the battery to just a percentage, and the percentage was really slow while charging like it wasn't taking a charge. After rebooting I was near 60%, when it was showing me 20% before the reboot. I think a fresh install will be good.

[Q] flashed resurrection rom on galaxy tab 2 7.0, no memory left to install apps

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 (used to have jellybean 4.2.2.) and flashed the Resurrection Remix custom ROM and GAPPS on it. It's fantastic and running great!!!
The tablet came with 8 GB of space and I have a 32 GB sd card in it. I keep getting "not enough space" warnings from my SD card even though it's almost empty. I can't install any apps to the sd card, and there is not enough internal memory to store them either. This makes the tablet almost as useless as before I rooted and put a custom rom. Is there a way to get my sd card to stop thinking it's full/ allow apps to move over to it? Is the next step to partition the sd card and then use an app like link2sd? I've never done it before. Please advise, thank you.

You can try transferring the data on the sdcards to some other place and then you can try formatting them through recovery

The ROM and data are in separate partitions. It sounds like you didn't wipe your data when you flashed a ROM with a different version of Android. So , the data partition is still full with your old data and the apps that are installed there are inaccessible by the system. You need to go to recovery and wipe data, but not the sd card, and not internal memory. I don't believe a factory reset will help since it seems the system already can not see the partition the apps are installed on now.
