hey guys. i was using the phone, browsing xda. saw on another board about neocore so went to download it from the market. while it downloaded i also downloaded nenamark and got it installed and ran it while neocore still said "installing"
i tried to stop the download but on market it said "installing" in grey and couldn't cancel. then went to applications manager to force close market and clear data/cache, and all the apps were showing as "computing" and never computed. i couldn't clear the data/cache from market, it said recalculating and stayed there.
i tried updating some other apps through market and all of them stayed on installing.
so i went back to a backup i had made earlier today. wiped data/cache/dalvik twice, nand restore.
same issue. everything stuck on computing. none of my sd apps are showing in LPP's drawer. nothing opens from the homescreens either. in sd card storage the card shows as mounted but when i try to unmount it force closes.
can't access the memory card through the phone but can through Amon_RA's MS Toggle function.
any clues what happened?!
i'm going to try reformatting the card, but this is a new 16gb that i've had for about a month or so only.
any ideas are great!
EDIT: moved everything out of the sd card. reformatted. put the files back. same issue. now i wiped cache and dalvik again and reinstalled netarchy's kernel. booting up now...
ANYONE?!
BUMP...
PLEASE GUYS NEED HELP HERE.
i've wiped and flashed, reformatted the memory card. reinstalled the kernel. same result.
what is missing?!
the memory card is working fine other than within the phone. works in amon-ra ms-toggle and on my computer.
HELP!!!
BUMP.
57 views and no answers? come on i know someone here must know what's going on.
I tried flashing my rom against over this one without wiping data (hoping not to lose my apps) and the apps stayed there. but after a reboot the same situation happened.
i wiped and restored my nand backup again. same thing. the phone "sees" the sd card but wont read from it. twice yesterday night after a long time (maybe 1-2 hours) it would suddenly see all the apps and everything would work. then i rebooted, and back to the same issue. then it picked up the apps again. i unmounted the sd card and remounted, and again the same issue.
it's all connected to the phone not accessing anything that's on the SD card, yet not giving any errors when it's "Preparing SD card..." or when I go in to see the storage information.
the memory card is accessible through amon_ra and when I take it out of the phone. reads/writes/formats just fine. so the memory card is fine.
i'm 100% sure it's a software issue. something is messing up and I can't pinpoint it. is there a file/process responsible for loading apps/dependencies from the sd card?
i can make phone calls, texts, etc. everything that's on the phone's memory works. so i'm being patient trying to find a solution to the problem (i.e. keep using my current rom and data) without starting all over.
let's work this out.
I'll buy a beer to whoever can help me fix this
Have u tried deleting the backups from a aosp rom? Try it to see if it works. Sign into ur google account. Go into the privacy setting and Deselect automatic restore and uncheck the other option.

Some how you screwed your symlinks.
Put a good nandroid on your old sdcard. Restore your from it. Down load Titanium back up from market, DO NOT MOVE IT TO THE SDCARD. Test it. Unmount the old sdcard. Shutdown, swap sdcards, reboot, run market doctor from Titanium Backup. You will then have to reload all your apps from market.
You could do the same from a complete cold reinitialization of the phone. Just skip the restore and replace it with a complete wipe, without the 16gb, but with the original sdcard. Proceed from there with the Loading of Tibackup from market...

If nothing else works I'll try your idea but it defeats the purpose of my post. I have over 200 apps, a good portion of which are not from the market...
I need to fix the problem from within my current rom...

Market Doctor found no recoverable links.
when I load Titanium Backup it says it's finding 310 user apps but only 61 are showing under backup/restore. all my non-working apps are showing there greyed out with a line through them. so titanium is acknowledging they're not installed...how do i install them?!
EDIT: this didnt add any new links to Market. but even trying to install the links that were already there (for paid apps), everything still gets stuck on installing. with the other sd card i was able to install titanium backup and root explorer. before i changed the cards...any new ideas?

The gray, lined out apps just mean that the apps are not installed.click on menu then on batch then screen down to restore all installed apps and data. If an app will not install, it Is stuck without a market link. Look in your download folder on your sd card. Use astro file explorer. You will see several files called download, download1, download2, etc. these are all of the files you downloaded that did not install. Quick click on the files and the manager option will pop up.select it and your file will install. Delete these files after you are done. Use market doctor to fix your links. HTH.

i had already tried that. under batch all the restore options have a 0 next to them and when i run them they say batch completed but nothing changed. there is no .apk files in my downloads folder because these arent files that i downloaded but didnt install. these are 200+ apps that i've had for days, weeks, some even months, that now aren't seen by the phone.
anyone else?
---------------
EDIT: fixed my issue. it looks like it came down to a bad file on the sd card. reformatted the sd card again, put back my data files, music, etc, but no android files. then wiped and restored the same backup that wasn't working. worked. reloaded apps from market, reloaded the ones that weren't from market that I had saved on my computer. and since the nandroid worked I have the folder links to all other apps i'm missing so i can download them as i need them.

Yesterday Skype started FC'ing so I uninstalled it, then attempted to re-install the same application. When attempting to install the Skype apk (the one allowing 3g calls) I received a message stating it could not be installed because I was out of memory.
Here are my memory stats... How can I be out of memory?
9.71gb available on external SD
12.39gb available on internal SD
1.7gb available on internal storage
Thanks for any suggestions...
Not sure what the issue was... Did a titanium back-up of everything and then factory reset. Restored with Titanium, installed Skype without issue.
Thank God for Titanium backup... Takes a 3 hour job and makes it a 5 minute job.
this is a known skype issue (i venture to say it wasnt on other apps)
to solve it without all that TB work, you just have to go to root explorer and go to the folder "/data/data", and delete the folder "com.skype.raider". Then try to install.
sorry for not seeing it earlier, your 5 minute job could have been a 30 second job
Oh well, thanks... All is good!
My nook color stays not much longer than 1min after loading all the apps & just after that it reboots. I've tried installing a fresh rom couple of times & wiping each & everything but just after installing all the apps again, it reboots. Have tried both by installing it manually & restoring through titanium backup as well, but same result. It works fine only when I remove my micro sd. I know that some apps doesn't works when installing in micro sd & that's why I've installed all my apps in internal memory. I never faced that issue when I was using Phiremod v6.3 build. Recently after moving into the latest nightly build, this issue occurred. Please tell me how can I resolve this issue? I've been trying to find the solution from so many days but couldn't able to find. Thanks
You could use ROM Manager to restore the last ROM if you did a backup or just reinstall it. I am a little confused about what you mean by loading all the apps. Apps are generally loaded as you use them, not at boot up. When you first boot up you can usually see the SD card icon at the bottom of the screen before it gets mounted. It is possible the card got corrupted. If you don't have anything on it but app backups and it works fine when the card is out you could try reformatting the card on your PC or with a camera that uses micro SDHC cards.
You also might have a misbehaving app loading on startup.
When I first boot the system, the sd card icon shows at the bottom of the screen & disappears after loading all the games from it. After that I can see all my apps & games in app drawer but after a min, it gets reboot. I only have games in sd card, not a single app & neither any app in my internal memory which loads at startup.
Well if the nook boots and runs just fine without the SD-card inserted, then we can be pretty certain that something on the card is messed up. Lot's of possibilities: Corrupted .apk file, partially corrupted file structure on the SD-card itself, Hell it could also be auto-update panicking because it's trying to update an app that has yet to load off the SD-card.
First thing I would try is formatting the SD-card within CM7.
Also try turning off auto-update
If that fails, connect the SD-card to your computer and scan it with windows to check for any file table corruption.
If that fails, it's hard times ahead for you. You'll have to go through the apps one-by-one to see which one is being the little bastard.
Good luck.
Thanx for The help. But all I have on my SD card is just game. Before installing anything on my internal memory, I restored my games backup 1st to my SD card through titanium backup. It was then working absolutely fine. After that I installed apps manually just to see which app is causung error. But all were installed without any problem, used for a while then I manually reboot. Since then I am getting this issue.
I am getting my new Note 3 today and now have a rooted note 2. I have titanium backup on the note 2. I have heard horror stories in the past about using TBU to restore apps from two different phones. Is there a way to transfer apps as well as data from the 2 to the 3. Can i use the same micro card without formatting? What about wifi passwords?
Thanks

First, to answer your questions.. 1. Yes, you can just move your SD card (I've done this many times). 2. Make sure you have set everything to "sync" in your google account on your phone and then the wifi passwords should restore. It's always worked for me.
I've had great luck using Helium. Pay for it to make it easier.
Using Helium, You can backup all of your apps (and data) to SD card and/or Google drive and Dropbox. SDcard is much faster of course. I always create both SD and Google Drive backups just in case.
You can just back up the apps, put the card in the new phone. If your phone hasn't been activated or booted yet, do that and let all of the apps reinstall. Sometimes they don't reinstall automatically (from Google). I then open Helium on the new phone and click restore. Then you can just restore each app and data.
The one thing with Helium is that if the app isn't installed, it will be a couple of clicks to get it reinstalled so it's not quite as slick as Titanium but I've had far better luck with it.

Thanks, I will give it a try.
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.
