[Help Me] Apps on Sd Poofed !

Hi, i am currently using Kyrillos Rom V 7.0 Non OC.
Yesterday,my phone battery drained to the end (not a problem until here).
When i arrived home i turned it on after charging for a while,but them,all my apps were gone. I can still see them at the Aplications Manager,but i cant "move to phone" (the box is hidden).
I got my SD card formated using a swap and a Ext4 partition so i can use Apps2SD+ and it was working fine for like 1 Month.
Also, my Market can't install any app anymore,since it shows "File Package is not Valid" message.
What i've tried :
1 - Setting / Storage / unmount - > mount Sd Card
2 - Recovery Mode -> Mount and Storage -> Mount Ext , Mount Sdcard , rebooted.
Nothing Worked,
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Will this Wipe all my apps on Sd ?
I dont want to wipe my Sd card data by any means : (
Since i cant backup it using Titaniun Backup because i can't install it from market,i dont want to wipe my SD.
What exactly this "Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache" does ?
EDIT : Ok, Seems it doesn't destroy any piece of user data.
Wipping it now,and will be back to tell what happened

Didn't worked.
Any other help ?

This same thing happened to one of my very good friends Jinxskore. He then had to wipe data, cache and dalvik. All three. Then it was normal again. Your data will be lost I am afraid.

Thanks anyway.

Anyone else ?
I'm starting to lose my faith : (

Try to use Titanium Backup, install it from your pc!

I have the same thing every time I boot up. After my media scanner is finished it just doesn't show my apps. Only sometimes when I wait very long it shows them. So I try to keep my phone on as long as I can. But I can't install apps from the market either. I touch for example 'free' press accept and it just doesn't start downloading anything! But a reboot fixes the install problem most of the time for a while...
Btw what kinda sd card are you using? I have a 16gb class 2.
So I blame my problems to that.

I have an idea
Hey about Contacts and SMS backup use relavant apps. Contacts can be backed up on Sd card and copied to pc, I dont think sms backup needed you can let them go if they are important PM me to tell you a method. I hope you have root explorer. If no download it from a PC file sharing website and simply install it. Go to /-->data-->app Copy all apks of your installed apps to sd.
Now you wont lose your apps. Backup SD. I would recommend to use *2676*3855# and Hard Reset/ Factory Format your phone. Format SD after complete backup and re partition do all again, set up phone enjoy it again.

Update ROM

Hi,
I installed a xda ROM on my HD2!
The ROM has been updated to a new version.
I would like to install without losing data (applications, sms, phone, settings,etc).
This procedure is correct (with aMAGLDR?
- (copy new rom version zip on my SD)
- 8 Recovery
- wipe cache partition
- (advanced)
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- (back)
- install zip from sdcard
Thank you

first of all just flash the rom, , if its just an update of the same rom you are flashing, it should just work no problems without any wipe. (Backup first, of course, just in case)

On my case, he is only a update (same rom)!
So if I understand correctly I just have:
- copy my update ROM (zip) on SD
- 8 recovery
- install zip from sdcard
Correct?

Yep

That should work just fine, however as samsamuel said always backup first if you can as you may get a bad flash. Also make sure that the partition size for the ROM hasn't changed in the latest update (as I think it has in NexusHD2). If it hasn't, then your steps will work perfectly fine.

Update NAND SD Rom

SORRY FOR THE WRONG TITLE!!! I GOT THAT ROM INSTALLED ON MY SD CARD!!!
ON MY NAND I GOT WINDOWS PHONE 8
Hey guys I got a SD EXT Rom..
[ROM][720p] NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.2 [NativeSD]
Well and today I saw that there's a 1.3a...
I want to update my HD2 But actually I don't know how to do that...
First of all I need to keep all my Apps , Pictures and Settings..
I need to Download that ROM and Install IT like I did on my old rom too?
Do I need to Full Wipe my Phone before? What are the steps -.-?
Or Can I go to 4EXT Recovery.. And just select.. install zip from SD Card.. without wipe the whole Phone + SD Card before?
I read that I'm able to do that IF it's the SAME Rom ..This procedure will just overwrite the old Rom with the new one... without wipeing or losing any apps or settings or personal data
regards

click edit on your first post, then click 'go advanced', , it will let you change the title of the thread.

No need to wipe, just flash over the old one. However, be aware that the partition size could have changed (particularly with NexusHD2) and if it has increased you'll have to flash the new partition first. Just to be sure, always backup in titanium backup or CWM first.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app

he's using nativesd so no partition stuff needed,
however never having done an update of a nativesd rom myself, i can't comment on whether 4ext will try and install the update as a new nativesd installation, or over the top of the old one (since you can have many roms, so i assume there must be a way to tell it to flash to a current nativeSD rather than as a new rom, , i dunno, which is why i didn't comment first time )

Neither have I actually :') @OP, ignore the partition thing However, I think in aroma installer it gives you an option to choose which type of installation you want so make sure to choose NativeSD. As I said earlier, backup before doing this. I've searched a little and I'm reasonably sure the update process is to install just as you would install a new ROM.

FWIW, I just upgraded my NativeSD installation of NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10 from v1.2 to v1.3a by just installing the new zip file "over" the old installation. The install was just like a new install, I only selected to wipe the Dalvik cache (I don't know if that was necessary). On first boot, Android did it's "optimizing apps" thing, then started. Everything looks normal, and according to the NativeSDMultiBoot app, there is only one NexusHD2-JellyBean ROM. A quick check with File Explorer confirms this.
This thread was useful to me - thanks!

Happy to help, i normally overwrite without wiping dalvik, and only wipe it if it doesn't boot.

Flashing Custom Roms Doubt

HI there people, just a n00b question, after flashing a custom rom in my i9500 (wanam lite v1.8) i see all my previous configurations, data, installed apps (including bloatware) are still on my phone, is this the normal condition? i mean....when u flash a custom rom previous apps and data keeps on the phone??? or im missing something (like cleaning cache or something)?? i just followed the custom's rom developer guide (download rom, backup current firmware, flash custom rom, enjoy) I supposed a new installation of all system's components was performed when flashing....any info will be appreciated.. thanks

1). It DOES matter... You are wiping internal storage... What are you gonna flash when the rom on the internal storage is wiped with ALL the other Data?

it a special feature of the ROM ur trying to install..... wannam 1.8 says - no wipe - hence it only wipes dalvik and regular cache - all the user data is preserved, like apps, contact, sms , etc, etc, - you wouldn't even need a backup when moving to wannam 1.8 ROM.
if u want to start from a clean system i recommend using the Super.Wipe (its comes available on the Phoenix ROM thread)
Cheers

With Clockwork Recovery you don't touch the internal storage, unless you use "Mount and Storage -> Format Internal SD" ( or something like that ).

Unless you really try - you won't format the internal SD with CWM. the clean cache is a command that cleans the OS partition - but if you'll format the internal SD you'll loose all data and apps
infact - what are you trying to do? do you want to completely wipe your device?

Thanks to all for your answers........finally i perform a new clean installation, wiping all data and cache and formating all the /data, /cache, /preload, including internal sdcard (moving rom to external sdcard first of course) and next flashing WanamLite using CMW.
By the way, i was wonder about i9500 suppose to be a 16 GB (internal memory) phone, however......even with a new clean installation internal memory its just about 8.77 GB, am not talking about free space (wich is 6.9 GB now after clean install), the whole internal memory capacity is just 8.77 GB!!! so what about the other 7.x GB in this model???

Changing Roms

Hi all,
When I visit XDA I always notice a new ROM for the moto g4 plus. I immediately wanted to try them but whenever I install a ROM I will lose all the data. Sometimes I try to dirtly flash the ROM but I doesn't work most of the time. My question is how can I backup most of my data so I can use it on the new ROM?

There is 3rd option for backup in TWRP, It will Backup your current ROM and Installed apps and their data only, but not your photos/videos or any personal data....
And now read this carefully - if you are wiping partitions read their name before wiping, dont wipe internal memory, external memory or OTG... Wiping them will erase everything on your phone or pendrive(if connected), wipe only those partitions whose backup you have made ( delvik-cache, cache, data, system )
Note again- don't wipe SDcard partitions, it will erase your personal data....
For safety it's better to copy your personal data to PC or Computer....
I hope you read my ENGLISH carefully.....

But I still wouldn't have the apps installed right?

Yes...
If you wipe DATA and install ROM then you will have to install all apps again... But when you restore Backed ROM then everything will be same as when you backed that...

You can save your app and data with titanium backup, it can help too.

What I do is
Backup ur apps using titanium backup
Now flash a new ROM , wiping cache , dalvic cache, system, data..
Now restore all ur apps using titanium backup pro ( crack titanium backup using lucky patcher)
Why I m saying to use pro version because you don't need to tap install on every app, it automatically installs WITH DATA ..it also doesn't take much time..
So finally you have ur apps with data !
Note : don't wipe internal storage while flashing new ROM ..so ur media files will not be lost
Hope this helps!

I think you mean "buy" titanium backup pro? :angel:

No need to buy pro !
