Aldiko app not opening

When I try opening the free Aldiko app on my rooted NST, the screen simply refreshes. I rooted with Touchnooter, got the Market working, and installed Aldiko and a few other apps. It worked at first, but after uninstalling and reinstalling it does this. I've tried reinstalling again, wiping the cache, wiping the dalvik cache, and uninstalling via adb. I really don't want to reformat, root, and reinstall everything just to get one app to work.

I'm pretty sure Aldiko is just broken and won't run on the Nook.

Check out this post from the Themes and Apps section - it solved the problem for me.

It seems to be a problem with the SD card. With the SD card inserted, Aldiko force closes. With an empty SD card slot, the app works.
The older version of the app (from the post above) works just fine with the SD card inserted.

That version works, thanks!

[Q] Very strange problem

Hi! While I am new to this community as a poster, I have used CM ROMS since version 7 without issue (many thanks to leapinlar for learning me a few things!).
Now I have a problem to which I cannot find an answer. After loading CM 10.1.XX to SD Card via the instructions here -
most of the services shut down - Exchange & Gallery at first, then most apps, starting with Google Play. Here's what I have done:
1. Format SD card using SDFormatter (Sandisk 8GB Class 4 Micro SD card);
2. Burn image to card - have tried v5, 6 & 7;
3. remove card, reinsert, copy CM 10.1.xx.encore.zip (have tried 10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.1.3)
4. Insert into NC, boot, then everything goes haywire.
With only the CM on the card, Exchange & Gallery both stop working ("unfortunately, xx has stopped working"). I disabled both, as I do not use Exchange, nor do I necessarily need the Gallery) Problem disappears. I then set up WiFi, shut down, copy gapps-jb-xx to the card from my PC, reinsert into NC, boot into SD Recovery, it does its thing, then shuts down. I start up the NC again, now the apps don't work - "unfortunately, GooglePlay has stopped working", "Gmail has stopped working", "process.gapps.x.x has stopped working", etc., until nothing works the way it is supposed to.
Now I have tried this several different ways, always starting with a clean (formatted) MicroSD card (I assume it's clean if it's formatted, right?), & am unable to keep everything working. I have flushed the caches, tried different combinations of the CM & gapps files, & nothing seems to work - these services/processes still shut down.
Could this be a hardware failure of some sort? Am I missing a step? Do I need to flush caches & clear data manually (not sure how to flush cache/Dalvik cache manually, but when setting up, the screen says "clearing caches")? I have used the alternate installs (uAltRAM, etc.) for automated flushing, but nothing works for me like it did in CM 7 or even CM 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help

A quick format with SDFormatter will not be clean. You need to do a full format. I suspect that is your problem.
One other thing you can do is install my alternate CWM so that you can wipe /system and /data between installs. See my section B in my NC Tips thread.

Thanks so much for your response! As soon as I get the chance, I will do a full format ("overwrite" rather than "erase" - the card does not support "erase", only "quick" & "overwrite"). I will also check out your tips & go from there. Thanks again for your reply & for all of your hard work!

To Leapinlar - awesome!

OK, so I followed your instructions, & I was obviously doing things incorrectly. Wiped the SD card completely with "full-overwrite" using SDFormatter, then, for good measure, formatted again with Windows (probably overkill, but I did it anyway); installed CM 10.1.3; cleared cache using your alternate install, installed compatible gapps, now everything just works! Sorry for wasting anyone's time, all I had to do was not be lazy in the SDFormat department & I would have had no problem. Thanks again & Happy Thanksgiving!

Whats app chat disppearing

hello, i had recently bought new moto x play,updated to marshmallow and installed whats app, i am facing the problem that whats app is crashing. Then the chat is disappearing, sometimes when i take whats app, there will be only chat labels(chat names) and no messages inside it, the very next time there will not be any chat names too. I tried uninstalling whatsapp, clear data, and even factory reset phone, no use. Tried installing latest version 3-5 times...
I don't use any cache clear applications

Do you have an external sd card and are you using that as expanded storage? Maybe your sd card is corrupt somehow.

I tried removing sd card, but the same issue persists
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk

New SD card works but some apps can't find it (default gallery/Aldiko).

tl;dr
The card is tested and good (results below), the card reader is good (tested by reinstalling 5.7.4).
So few other people are having this issue, what is going on with my phone?
--
I've read and read, but no matter what I try, I can't get my SD card to work.
Here's the details of how, and what, I installed on my Sprint S5.
I'm coming from Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 MM, (where the SD card worked fine, but did have a few issues with the camera (used open camera instead) and some post reboot oddness (shortcuts disappearing)).
I first formatted card using the windows software sdformatter to FAT32
copied files to SD card using a card reader plugged into PC.
Files copied
RR-N-v5.8.2-20170304-kltespr-Official.zip
open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20170327.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
TWRP 3.X
wiped dalvik/cache/system/data
then factory reset
added files to zip queue, Rom, then Gapps, then SU
Flashed
Phone boots fine, initial set up completes.
Tried a reinstall of apps using Ti Pro, but it failed, so started again and used google apps restore during boot. Issues with many apps. So started again, with a "fresh start" option during set up.
I took a few pictures.
I can view them immediately after taking, by pressing the previously taken image image inside the camera app.
Open default Gallery and get the error "No storage. No external storage available."
I installed a+ gallery and it is able to open the images just fine.
Default Files app can browse the SD card.
Aldiko will not download books, as it thinks there is no SD card installed
I've tried (and checking each time)
formatting in card as internal, then back to portable in phone.
Clearing the data/cache for the apps giving errors.
factory resetting
Wiping and formatting the card (on PC to FAT32), and starting again (several times).
Started from scratch again, with a brand new Sandisk card
Tried ZepherOS Zephyr-N Version (Viserion-6.1) Android 7.0
Wiping cache/dalvik only and rebooting
Same "No storage..." error, every time.
I tried ZephrOS. Right after install there is no file manager, but if I click the default app "downloads", I can navigate to the camera folder, then to the image. When I click on it, it opens the image, but still shows the same error "no storage..." even though I'm looking at the image behind the error window. :/
I'm running H2testw, but don't expect an issue, as the same error was on the previous card and the brand new card.
Can I go from 7.0/7.1 to a stock ROM without issues, if so which one?
Update:
SD card test result
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 7.15 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.7 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
UPDATE #2:
I started fresh with a new install of RR 5.7.4 and the card does still have issues with some apps, but is working fine with others. Open camera works fine, and the gallery access the correct card in this ROM. Aldiko still fails as it's trying to download to /sdcard
Most apps are looking for /sdcard but I have /sdcard1
If it helps, it appears sdcard is symlinking to /storage/self/primary

Anyone able to help?

permissions issue? have you gone into the apps mgmt and set the permissions manually?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, settings>apps>settings>App permissions>Storage is turned on.
Aldiko, for example, is looking for /sdcard but it doesn't exist. I'm thinking a symlink might fix the issue? But am not familiar enough with Android under the hood, to know what other issues that might cause.

What file system is the card formatted in? Try ext4 or exFAT.

FAT32 this was recommend in most places I read. I thinks it's a paths issue. I'm not sure the format would make a difference to that, right?

A fresh install would resolve any path issues. The device can't read the card, which means that it's formatted incorrectly or is incompatible. How did you format it originally? On a computer? Go into the storage menu, and if it's detected, then try using the native Android option to reformat it. Back up your stuff first.
If that fails, try formatting it in recovery.

Thanks, I know the OP was long, but I hoped the details of what I'd already tried would be appreciated. I did several fresh installs trying to fix, and formatted every which way I could in phone and on a PC. Nothing has worked.
I've kind of given up on this and have decided to switch to Verizon. Sprint sucks so bad, after 10 years I've finally had enough, so I have to replace the phone anyway.
If you know of a decent phone to get, I'm looking for a recommendation in this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/switching-to-verizon-200-phone-t3588790
Thanks for your attention to my issue. Sorry it's left unresolved. I run my own business and just can't spend this much time fixing my phone.

P8 Issue (Gallery, Camera, Play Store crashing) after moving some apps to SD

Hi everyone!
I moved some apps from internal to SD storage in order to release some space on internal storage.
I used build-in function for this: "settings - apps", choose app and from "storage - change" made transfer to SD.
Later I found that several apps are crashing and not working:
- Gallery, Camera, Play Store, WhatsUP (crashing immediately)
Also, when I press power button there is no window with "reboot, shutdown .."
And "GBoard" keyboard is not working, but "Huawei Swipe" keyboard is ok
It looks like some systems issue happens ((
Model: GRA-L09, EMUI 4.0.3, Android 6.0
I tried already:
1) to remove SD and reboot phone
2) to "clear cache and data" for Gallery, Camera, Media Storage, Play Store apps
3) wipe cache partition (with "Volume Up + Power button")
The issue is still the same
ANY Ideas how to fix it?
many thanks!

What apps. did you move and have you tried moving them back to internal, one by one(s) to see which one
is causing the problem ?

Moved back all apps from SD to internal storage.
Issue not resolved((
Any other recomendations?
Thanks!

Your easiest way at this stage to fix it, is to save all your important data/pics etc and do a stock reflash.
