I not sure if this is the right area, if not, i apologize, feel free to move and/or flame. lol
Anyway, I'm running fr008 liberated froyo and all of a sudden my apps stopped showing up in the app drawer. the ones i had an icon for on the home screen would show up, but be the default little gear icon thing, on click, nothing would happen (market also because that icon and wouldnt work). I tried wiping dalvik cache, cache, and finally ended up just trying to restore nandroid. Wellll.... Now the market is gone totally, but the strange thing, is that the apps show up under settings->applications, but not in the drawer at all.
I searched on this site, but honestly...I'm not even sure what words to use, everytnhing just wasnt relevant to my search. I'll be happy to continue searching (and i'm still browsing through pages), but maybe someone has had this issue and can either help me out, or point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Try a different home app. LauncherPro is the best so far in my opinion.
Well, Ideally I would like to keep sense. that's why i had chosen the rom that i did instead of CM. I just don't understand why they were there working just fine, then all of a sudden they werent. Worse comes to worse I just flash cm7 and start over, i'm just giving it a couple days before i do that.
Astro also didn't show up, and i tried doing the .zip update method through clockwork, but i move the files over, then reset the phone, and they don't show up on the sdcard...So i reboot and check for the gapp.zip on the sdcard, and its no longer there. Wtf is going on?
**edit: for some reason the phone reset and the market showed up again. Obviously my apps are in my market account, but they still show up under settings->application. I still don't know *WHY* this happened, and i dont want to reload everything on it and lose the info i had, especially if its going to be a recurring thing.

This is a total WTF! Since you are running FR008, are you using DT A2Sd to store your apps on the SD card? If not, you may want to look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790786
Once you enable A2SD by creating a EXT partition on your SD card, you can use A2SD to check the apps that are installed.
Yeah, my sd card has the ext partition from when i had the stock rom (trying to use dt's a2sd with that, got fed up and flashed fr008, haha).
But I only had a couple apps on the SD card, and strangely enough, those were the only ones showing in my app drawer. (now they aren't...)
But I'll check that link and see whats going on with it, i'm just lost. haha.

If you had an EXT partition on the SD card when you flashed FR008 (which has DT A2SD built-in) will use it. Sounds like you may want to run the "a2sd check" command in the terminal emulator to see what's going on?
Hmm. I ran a2sd check:
it says "ext partition found, but not mounted, your rom may not be steup to run apps2sd. xxxxx
your partition may be ext4 but rom may not support ext4"
also, my apps are no longer showing up in market...i'm cursed. lol
a little update.
It seems my sd card was screwy. I swapped it for another one temporarily (copy/pasted the contents though, that didnt work, so i formatted it). The phone seems to work fine, but for some reason, my apps still show up in settings > applications. But no where else. I can't use astro to back them up, and I'm not sure what else i can possibly try (aside from wiping everything and installing a new rom, any suggestions on what rom, i'm thinking cm7, but i want sense ui still).
I'm just worried that its something *I* did and i dont want to do it again.
I had a similar issue before...and what I would do is:
1. Factory Wipe, Wipe Caches and Format both system and SDCard with an ext partition
2. Flash the ROM of your choice, then GAPPS
3. Start the process of setting everything up again.
It's the nature of the beast when using DT A2SD...when the card goes, so does everything on it, including your apps. It would be a great idea to back up everything on your phone (nandroid) then copy the nandroid backup (in the Clockworks folder on your SDCard) to a safe place (not on the SDCard) so that when this happens again you have a backup of your phone that doesn't die with the card. Don't worry this doesn't happen often, but a you see, it can happen.
Yeah, i sort of guessed it had to do with the sd card (had a small glitch about 3 days prior to this, with a program that was on the sd card). I just don't know why the apps that werent on the sd card went with the sd card, but showed up in settings -> applications still (though i could do nothing with them, and if i tried to "clear data" on them, it would fail). I flashed CM7 last night and started setting everything up again. I'm going to do the whole nandroid backup, and manual backup where i can pull the apks out of the backup, so i can have a script to reinstall everything quickly when I inevitably change roms again. lol (as you can see, i've been a member for some years now, started back with the titan/ppc6800)
anyway, if you didnt read all that above, i'll summarize:
THANKS.
i had the a similar problem my apps werent showing in my drawer and my widgets on my home screens kept saying problem loading widget so i wiped everything reinstalled my rom switched to adw ex and everything has been fine since
So all my issues started when I bought a OG Droid from my buddy for $60 and I then decided that I would just pop my Memory card out of my X (was on Liberty 2.0) and into the OG and root the OG ( then Flashed CM7) and then using Titanium backup, I would just restore the Apps and Data from my X onto my OG.. it worked ok but then I wanted to just make a copy of the entire SD card so I could have all my apps and data on both phones so I didnt have to play musical SD cards when I switched phones..
Anyways I then copied the SD card and then formatted the original card from the OG droid and copied my copy of the card onto it.. and it seamed to work ok.. then My X started acting up (bootlooping, and other wacky stuff) I first tried to restor to previous backups and they didnt help so I just said screw it and SBf'd with the .340 version and It appeared to be all better once back to stock..
How ever I then went into my SD card and tried to first install Astro to manage my files ( I have Z4root, Droid X Bootstrap, Titanium Back, and few other important APKs in a folder on my SD card) I tried to install all of those APKs and none would install using the build in "Files" app.. Hell even my Apps that my google account was linked to wont install ( google Earth, youtube, gmail)
I have done multiple data cache clears as well as hard resets.. I cant get any APKs to install so I cant install or run Z4 root, or run a terminal emulator and I cant even download and get any app of the market to install (Yes I have enabled Unknown sources and USB debugging, and yes I have looked everywhere for an answer) So I am stuck. I love the OG droid on CM7, but I miss my big screen and 1.2Ghz overclocked and undervolted processor.
I am at a loss about what to do, I was hoping you guys would have some idea of what I should do..
Wow. I think there might be a hardware issue here. I would recommend talking to Verizon about getting a replacement

Hmm.. So once I am SBF'd back to .340, they wont be able to tell about my rooting activities? I got the phone over 6 months ago and It was from the Verizon in Costco, So I am not sure what the return policy is..
Format the SD card from within the Droid X (Settings > SD card & Phone Storage > unmount > format > mount) after backing up your data from it but DON'T copy anything back over. Do a fresh SBF. Make sure you clear data and cache 5 times each before SBF'ing again.
As long as it is within one year, you are elidgable for a warranty replacement. And you are correct, they will not be able to tell that you are rooted. Most employess would not know how to check for that anyway

I tried to format the SD card in the X, but it was always freezing and force closing.. so I decided that something was wrong.. but I will try again and clear the Cache 5 times?!? Seams excessive and repetitive.. but I will try..

Ok well I will see if I cant fix it with the help of you guys and then I may be taking it back to see if I can get a replacement.. And I figured that most employees wouldn't know how.. especially after I SBF'd back to stock.. I just wasnt sure though..
How the phone deletes the data and cache is kind of weird, it rarely actually gets rid of it all the first time. Many people recommend 3 times, I recommend 5 to play it safe as one time 3 did not cut it for me and I had some quirks, re-did it doing it 5 times, quirks were gone.
Try a different SD card if you can, also.
Soo I cleared the cache and then pulled my memory card and was able to install apps from the market, but still no installing from the SD card.. And I still couldnt unmount the SD card and format the card...
You SURE it's not a bad SD card?

I got it to work.. I pulled the SD card, Put it in the OG Droid and formatted it, then with no SD card in the X, I cleared the Cache, then put the SD card back in the X and was able to Format it again, then Cleared the Cache again a few times. (Excessive? Probably)
Then everything seamed to work fine.. I used SwiFTP to drop the few APKs that I needed to root the phone and then flash Liberty 2.01, then dropped a previous Titanium Backup folder of all my apps back onto the SD card and did a batch restore and everything is all good!
Regina Launcher even restored my data so my home screens were set up already
Thanks for your help. With Netflix now, I really wanted my X for the bigger screen.. I really cant wait for my Asus Transformer to get here.. I have a feeling that my usage of my laptop and both of my Droids will drop drastically.. However the Droids will be my access to the internet..
I'm having some issues with trying to figure out how to free up space on my S5. I recently had to encrypt the phone to keep getting school email and it erased everything, however I'd been having issues in the past with low data notifications even though my apps and files are only taking up 1-2 of 12 gb total.
I went through root access and I've gone through a few menus looking for large files and I can't find anything. At this point, I tried doing a factory reset back into cyanogen and that didn't erase those files either.
I'm really confused as to why this is happening and would appreciate any help. I stopped updating nightlys because my phone was stable enough for day to day use and I was happy with it.
Can anyone please help advise me on how to get back to baseline since factory reset didn't clear the space? Or point me to a few threads to try to figure it out. I've spent all day trying to figure this out and I'm getting nowhere.
Edit: Internal storage says 11.17 of 11.58 gb used. Apps are only taking up 888mb. I feel like android system files are taking up the rest due to some error, but I can't figure out what's doing it. Already did a factory reset and dalvik cash reset. I lost all my apps when the phone encrypted and it says there's insufficient storage to add any now even though they were there this morning.
Thanks so much!
I managed to clear out enough space to download DiskUsage and in /data I have files marked lost+found that are taking up about 10 gigs of space!
I tried to delete the files through the program since I've read that these are safe to delete, but I get an error message saying that the files don't exist.
So I made some progress, but I'm still stuck! Does anyone have any insight? It seems like there's a lot of corrupt data here for some reason.
So I installed LineageOS about 4 months ago or so and out of nowhere the phone just turned itself off and wouldn't boot, it goes past the motorola screen into the LineageOS booting screen, and it just keeps loading and loading, I can access TWRP, and I tried installing an older version of LineageOS and wiping the cache and dalvik, that seemed to have worked but the home button wouldn't work and some core system thing kept crashing and warning me on the screen and I decided to reboot, and now I'm stuck at the booting screen loading forever again, basically I'm trying to NOT wipe the phone data UNLESS I'm able to backup my apps with titanium backup or something like that; so since I managed to make it boot once maybe it ain't as bad as I see it, so yeah here hoping to get some options to fix it.

With titanium backup its possible to restore data from a nandroid backup.
Did you installed exactly the same rom over the actual one again? Did you tried wipe cache and art?
Make a backup of system, data, boot and save it to your computer just in case.

When the phone got stuck at the loading screen I tried installing an old LineageOS rom, that initiated with the errors I mentioned, and when I did that I wiped the cache and dalvik/art cache as well, and now I've tried deleting them again many times and it doesn't seem to work, and quick question, the nandroid backup is basically doing a backup of what you told me, system, data and boot, right? Would that save all apps and their data, let's say, a progress in a game, or all settings exactly like I left them on an app.
Also I don't know if it's me, but I keep deleting some data from my SD card and it just keeps reappears again, even tho I'm seeing them getting deleted, same with pasting new stuff on my SD card, I'm doing all this thro my PC with ADB, tho pasting and deleting stuff on the internal storage works just fine.
Yes, a nandroid backup from your system/data partition saves all your additional apps with settings.

Yeah it says my SD card is on "Read-only" and can't complete the backup, according to some thread it's a FAT error and I gotta mount the SD card on my PC and fix the error thro windows, but I have no SD card reader, meanwhile I'll wait for other answers until I find an SD card reader.
The issue was most likely caused by updating LineageOS many times over and over again eventually causing a corruption, that and my micro SD dying and just being read only made it worst, so yeah, I'd recommend erasing cache, dalvik and system every few months to update LineageOS, well I wouldn't take this that seriously, since I don't really know that much, but yeah, phone is working just fine now, just installed everything from scratch and google helped me restore my apps.

The isssue you are talking about(sd read only mode). Im facing this problem and have done each and every method possible to give write access to sd card.
Well i can access the data(like can put anything i want in it) but can't modify it(copy, move, delete and even format). I looked for way arounds and tried my own method(even risked the data on sd) but no good comes out of it.
Im using rr and not lineage so we are on different boats in the same river.
If you get any solution pls inform me ans ill try it.

Some sdcards become read only over time, had also 2 of them which had those issues. See reviews on Amazon. It's a known problem of the SD card itself. Try to format your card with pc and check if it's writable again, otherwise it's dead.

Thanks for the concern and yeah i know that it is a problem with sd cards.
The thing i was saying that i literally tried each and every method formatting from pc to even twrp. I even used cmd for it and as a out come non of them work.
Well sd card is not dead. I can move, copy thing in it the problem comes after that. I cant delete or then move from sd card to other location. Its like read only compact disk(it will clear the idea what im talking about). My sd card is working as a read only cd does.

That's what I mean: they become read only. Search on Google.
I had the same issue. I tried reinstalling Linage OS, clearing the cache, etc. But what finally resolved it was clearing the data. So the issue was corrupted data that was keeping the device from booting.
Hello, since a few days I have a message on the home page that tells me that my storage is full
I only have 12 applications installed for a total of 2.5gb, I emptied the cache of applications, but I have only 350mb of space left
So I have slowdowns and I can't install new apps
Any solution apart from resetting everything?
EDIT : since a while I lost 150mo I have only 200mo free even by emptying the cache, there is a problem
EDIT 2 : I lost another 50mo and nothing in the cache
Hi,
Had the same problem here. Deleting apps didnt help either.
Storage kept telling me i had several gigs of apps installed although i deleted everything.
I just now did a factory reset and space was recovered. fingers crossed.
I did all updates again abd instalkled all poreviously installed apps.
Also im on the beta firmware from Nvidia.
My thoughts are somewhere a program update messed things up ealier.
greets,
AJ
ok thanks, I think I'll have no choice but to do a reset
Still working here after the reset.
I think somewhere a program upodate messed something up earlier.
I made a post about this on reddit. 2017 shield, no Plex/Kodi etc. Started happening after the 9.0.1 update in May. Internal storage just slowly disappears (from 10 GB available/free to 150 mb). Factory reset is the only workaround - and yes I have checked every app including system apps, gallery, media, system upgrade apps etc etc. And this happens even If I use adoptable storage (which I don't need since my apps only consume about 0.93 GB and I don't need much free space - but this bug is horrible.
There are a few posts on reddit and a developer from nVidia that is interested in logs. Here is the most recent post.
