Apps keep forgetting user settings / data
Since installing Android Market and Link2SD I have the following problem:
Ocassionally _some_ of my apps forget about their settings / user saved data / license. Both - apps in internal memory as well as apps linked to sdext2 via Link2SD - are affected. Not all apps are affected. Has anybody faced this already? Any ideas? Last edited by uboot; 01-05-2012 at 06:30 AM. |

Ok, I know what happened. Some apps somehow received a new UID while the prefs in /data/data have another UID.
This can be resolved by running fix_permissions from via console while being root. Alternatively, there is a dedicated app in the market... |

I've been having this problem too but the apps just disappear and don't even appear in the fix permissions app.
It's a little ambiguous on the wiki... is the ext3 permission for link2sd meant to be created on the 2gb internal memory or a removable card? ..I've put at the end of a removable card (couldn't get it to create on the internal) so I wonder if that's causing the issue? |

On external sd, you need two partitions:
partition1: fat32 - data partition, will be unmounted on usb connect and exposed to computer partition2: ext3 - link2sd partition, will not be unmounted on usb connect |

It happened again - I somewhat made my T1 crash when trying to install Kindle app via market. It went into a reboot loop.
I pressed the Reset button which made it boot up, but lots of force-closed dialogs popped up and ADW launcher, bar shortcuts, etc where unaccessible. Fortunately I found a way to fire up PermissionFix via ADB: Code:
adb am start -a android.intend.action.MAIN -n com.stericson.permissionfix/.PermissionFix |
