Hi All,
I've recently installed the new Jelly Bean Miui update and have come across a few issues...
I backed everything up with Titanium Pro, flashed and restored but had a fair few programs crashing (mainly system ones!)
After a bit of cache clearing I had it down to Google apps which I assume I need to stop restoring when flashing as the JB ones are newer than the ICS versions I'm restoring (obvious really lol - edit - gapps files?)
Anyway...I'll do it all again but are there any further hints?
My external SD card is now also corrupt so should i have unmounted it before doing all this?
Edit - it seems version 2 will fix most of my issues....any idea on the SD card? Is there a way to ensure it doesn't corrupt other than unmounting and removing?
Ummm where did you get this at?

i had a very bad experience with nand backup/restore very recently and wanted to share it with the community and hear any feedback or suggestions where i eventually did wrong.
First of all i have to state i am a newbe on Android and have just started learning how to do some mods via the great help of this forum.
here is my case: I have partitioned my SD and moved all existing apps to the newly created partition via recovery mode. When I reboot no apps showed (i am not sure apps2sd is missing or what) therefore I decided to restore my earlier backup which went trhough succesfully but guess what ? ..... the phone did not reboot anymore and it arrived only up to the HTC flashing logo and got stuck there.
I had to find the stock rom again (sorry i forgot to mention i was using the stock rom) and reflash it from scratch which finally made it to work. thanks to shipped-roms.com !!!
My first guess is that for some reason the restore did not work and i got into a sort of loop mode because i tried moving all apps to SD before rebooting and this did not work properly.
does anyone have any idea of what could have been the problem ? I will provide any addiotional specifics if needed.

hi
app2sd has to be cooked into the rom and cannot be installed separately into the rom so have u used a rom with apps2sd in it im using Jacobs 1.5 which has apps2sd and i have done ext3 part & to my knowledge u need to do ext3 part for apps2sd to work
hope this helps
Actually you can install apps2sd after flashing a rom without. Just flash the darktremor skript you find in the forum. It depends on the rom if it's working fine or not. It worked for me with modaco r3.
Thank you for your help. As I stated originally i am using the original shipped rom and I have flashes a modified recovery where I can both partition the sd, do an ext2 to ext3 and eventually move all applications to the sd, however when I did it they all disappeared. Because all seemed to be available via the recovery menu is did it without checking more but I will need to do so since my Tattoo is already full.
I have not read around anyone saying that original Roms cannot install apps2sd. Am I wrong?

As I already said you can install the apps2sd script. But it is not installed by default. So if you want to use it you have to install it first. The rom can not detect your apps on the ext partition because you have not activated a2sd. You can find it here.

this is great thank you. just a last request: is it possible to remove and return all apps to the internal memory in case I want to restore as it is now ?
in addition does this work for all apps even if they are not setup to be running from SD card ?
sorry if i am asking so many questions but given my previous bad experience i want to make sure i am not going to screw up everytning again....
I don't know if there is a command in the a2sd script that can remove those files from your sd. Maybe a2sd remove in an adb shell, but I'm not sure. You can move any app to your sd with this script. The other thing is for froyo. I think you don't even need an ext partition on 2.2.
Thank you very much for your help!

Just tested mine.
The original a2sd dark tremer works well. The dumb apps2sd froyo POS works too. Get "App 2 sd" from market and it may help.
Advice: reload the rom with only wiping dalvick and cache. DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET. That is assuming you're using RA-1.8 recovery.
Oh yeah you will get one chance in market to restore, after loosing your apps if you're using the froyo version. All the symlinks are probably already missing. The apps are on your sdcard and the market app 2 sd apk may restore the simlinks.
Use it to move the apks back into the phone, then back to the sdcard. It could work.
I am currently running the latest auto-nootered version, 1.1 I think. I would like to upgrade to the stock version 1.2, but I don't want to lose any purchased content I have on the device. I have never attempted a restore to stock after auto-nooter. I am fine with not being rooted and not having access to the full market at this point, but just want to keep all my content safe from being wiped in the whole process. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
If you're referring to content purchased from B&N, it's a non-issue as you can always redownload for free.
If you're referring to Android Market purchases - if you lose Market access with the update you'll lose the ability to redownload and/or update those apps.
Back up your data, etc to an external SD card and optionally a computer too. Later, restore what needs to be. I stopped running from the internal long ago because CM7 runs so well (now since that wasn't always the case) from my external Sandisk SD 16GB class 4. This way, I never need to root the internal and I get updates as they come while benefiting from it's dual booting nature. Much less hassle this way. Not sure what the advantage is the other way around anymore. The Nookdevs site outlines step by step how to easily go back to stock. That info has probably even been reposted here.
I went the same route as the above guy. I've never Rooted my Stock and have been running Froyo and now CM7 from a 4gb Class 6 SD(It's what I had lying around) and it's worked really well.
Strangly even though I've never rooted I couldn't get it to update and had to Reset my Nook anyway, but since my CM7 is on my SD I didn't have to reinstall anything. All my B&N stuff just synced back after I updated. Although I had to manually tap Download on alot of them.
I also Recommend Nookdevs. Here are some links:

I am currently running dualboot on emmc. Thinking of going back to stock and moving a backup of cm7 onto SD and running it form there.
Any tutorial to point me on how to take a backup made in clockwork to rnning that on sd?

This is just me thinking on the Fly but if you just make a CWR Backup and then use the "CM7 Size Agnostic SD Image" from the Dev forums, it should flash it to the SD instead but I'm not positive. Won't hurt to try though.

would it matter that my clcokwork backup has th the boot partition backed up which includes the various boot files for both sets of partitions?

I think you really just need your system and data partitions. Flash it using the previously mentioned dev thread. Then move your EMMC files to the sdcard partition.

Ok so I don't know if anyone else has had issues with their SD card since the update but I've been constantly having problems. When looking at my pictures i'm always gettin the "sd card not present." And I think it has been causing issues with me downloading and updating apps too. Anyone else been having these troubles and if so...any solutions? Please and thank you for any help.
Since my phone is rooted... and I have root explorer...
I know one of the problems you're having is the card is mounting itself read-only... no idea why...
Though since I figured that out... I have other problems...
I wish I could go back to eclair... it worked solo much better on this piece of ****
Sent from my MB508 using Tapatalk
Hmm, yea that's weird. I don't know why it does that either. But I agree...Eclair ran so much smoother. And I could install more apps on my phone...this thing has indeed been trash....
I had some similar errors, they seemed to be related to link2sd and the upgrade. I completely formatted my sd card, remade the link2sd partition, and reinstalled froyo directly instead of updating from eclair, and haven't had any problems since.
Reinstalled directly from where?? How???
Using RSD Lite, I flashed the Froyo sbf. Specifically, it's SAGE_U3_3.4.2-159.17_SecATT_SIGNATT_USASAGE02B25ND0ATTNA02E.0R_SAGEFRATT_P011_HWp4_1FF.sbf. There are a few links to it here on the forums, it's a fresh install of froyo instead of upgrading from eclair, you start with much more free space to work with. Updating the system apps will eat into it pretty quickly, but if you use Titanium Backup to cook the updates into the rom you can keep quite a bit of free space.
Been thru 3 sbf flashes... with link2sd... with apps2sd...
It still ****ing locks... it still ****ing freezes...
I hate being so close to new phones coming out...
Else I'd throw this thing thru the wall

How do you use Titanium Backup to "cook the updates into the rom?"
You'll need a registered version of Titanium Backup. If you haven't bought it already I really recommend it, it's the single most useful app I've had on android. Go into the backup/restore tab, scroll down and find the app that you updated. It'll be listed in red, meaning it's a /system app, but it'll say (update) next to it, indicating the update is on the internal storage. Long press it, and there will be an option that says something like "move update to /system" or similar. Press that, and it will remove the original version from /system, and move the update in it's place.
You can also move apps to /system this way, long press any normal app and there's an option for "convert to system app" that will move it over. I deleted a lot of the bloat apps, as well as all of the default ringtones, and had plenty of free space to move some of my most-used apps over to /system.
Right now, I have 26.1 MB free in /system, 60.5 MB free in /data, and something like 300 MB worth of apps on my second SD card partition.
Ok I'll try that using Titanium....did you delete the ringtones using Titanium or Root Explorer?
Man this crap somehow made my data worse...I deleted some apps and moved some to system and now I'm almost out of storage....Integrating the update into Rom screwed me up!

Try App2SD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.app2sd&hl=en
Also, don't want to sound rude or anything, but don't create duplicate topics, ask for a moderator to move your old one.

I am sorry for that...i wrongly create that thread.
i use this app also...it is not supported my phone
What do you mean by supported? It didn't let you install it or it didn't work?
You could also try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e
But, CM10 is in a better development stage than CM9, you should consider switching to that. I have CM10 2ndboot builds and moving apps to SD is working fine.
Remember that not every app can be moved to the SD Card, that will depend on it's developer too.

Did you do a factory reset before flashing CM9? What is your total internal storage showing? If it's not 2GB total then you will need to back your data etc up (not NAndroid, use Titanium or similar), then boot into STOCK recovery, do a full factory reset (wipe data and cache), then reinstall your ROM, then reinstall your data from backup.
