i was trying to DL twitter and ADW Launcher

Now I'm really confused??
If you are using Bean_Whiz and you linked those applications with Link2SD, then you can really only delete with Link2SD or you will sometimes get that error.
Really you should just get into the habit of using it whenever you need to delete any application.

If not the above: Please explain with more detail where the applicatons where installed to and what you tried to use to delete them.

yeah im using link2sd to delete any apps and i us it also to move the apps to my sd card, expect the one that say if i move them to the sd card that they will act up especially if they have a widget right? Now am i doing that right?

OK. What size is your SD card?
What size is the partition?
What recovery or Windows/Mac/Linux program did you make the partition with?
What is it formatted to?
Did Link2SD just push them to the SD card, or did it actualy link them?
If it Linked them, did it link the lib. files?

Yes, some will mess up if moved. Widget apps, Volume control apps, apps that control app permissions (haven't found one yet that didn't make the ROM act goofy), apps like Swapper 2, etc., and then some apps (you never know till they act up) just don't like to be on the SD card.

Sometimes Link2SD gives an error message when trying to delete a big app from off the partition or FAT32 side of the SD card. Try moving to phone (internal storage), then delete.

Press the option. If it boots into a blue screen with text on it (thats called the fastboot screen), you good!

Before you do anything It wont hurt to make sure you can get into the fastboot screen.

Actually, when I selected the Bootloader reboot option, it didn't do that at all. It merely rebooted normally. Oh, well.

Did you rename the recovery? Try renaming the BobZohme Modified ClockworkMod recovery (VM670NH_recovery.img) to just brecovery.img.
In the code where it asks you to put in the recovery put in brecovery.img (a whole lot easier).
Also: Did you check the MD5 sum of the download. The MD5 sum for that recovery is:
4196aac89f95ee7b468c53b5ffacf9db

I renamed it to "a.img"; moving it from root to just /sdcard worked, but then the process wouldn't work. So I ditched that one, got the CWMT Recovery from the link you provided, renamed it "trecovery.img", and it worked!! This actually looks pretty cool!!
Currently copying the contents of my memory card to the PC...hopefully, I'll have enough time for all this, as the copy process is running INSANELY SLOWLY!!!

 

[AndyOpie150]

In the advanced section.
/sdcard is the root of the SD card.

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

Actually, I have a folder called "000root", lol.

Anyway, the partition has been made, now it's time to copy the contents BACK to the SD card...and the process to copy the contents BACK is running even SLOWER!!! NOOO!!! It's never going to get everything back into place at that rate, stupid piece of junk library computer...damn thing said 1hr to copy...and that was about a few minutes ago...now it's suddenly saying TWO HOURS and change...and the damn computers shut down in 50min!! Ugh...I can't believe this is happening AGAIN. Had that problem the last time I partitioned the SD card, except that time I lost EVERYTHING!!

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

Be thankful the Library your at allows you to plug your phone into one of their computers. Where I'm at they make sure there are no towers showing as they don't want you to connect anything to a USB port (they charge a nominal fee for making printed copies of info you downloaded).

 

[Shinkenred]

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

Yeah, well...looks like it happened AGAIN. Lost EVERYTHING...somewhat. I copied some of the stuff from other devices onto this thing, and oddly, there's quite a few pics that should've been lost that somehow survived. They're all in the wrong places, but they survived. And a couple games survived with their data...NO TB, either. (Had to get that, among many other things, again)

At any rate, I'm wondering if perhaps once everything finishes up, I should just back up everything, wipe, and start over: even now, the sd-ext partition STILL isn't being recognized by TB, and the Storage section in the Settings menu is once more showing that the partition IS NOT being used. Odder yet, there are some user apps that aren't being linked. I go through multi-select, select them all at once, hit Actions, Create Link...and only TWO would respond. (Then the stupid Optimus just reset itself. Ugh. Once again, getting back as much as possible is NOT going to be simple, is it!? Still mad as hell that so much stuff is irreplaceably GONE...)

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

You need to start with a clean slate on the SD card. The whole thing back to FAT32. Then recreate the partition with the ClockworkMod recovery.

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

I'm on ZVJ/DanteROM but I'm thinking about reverting to ZVD and trying this-- hopefully as a daily driver.

1) Are there any known bugs or problems?
2) I currently use Link2SD with a Class10 32GB card and have about 50 non-Gapp apps. Could I achieve the same with this or does this ROM use too much system memory? (Link2SD can't put everything on the SD card, so ultimately you're limited by system memory, not SD card memory, I think.)
3) Would I be able to install Swype (from my Titanium Backup)?
4) Any thoughts on pros and cons of this vs theKraven's version?

Big thanks to AndieOpie (and theKraven) for the massive development effort.

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

This ROM is the SlimRom. I just added the Galaxy S4 theme and got rid of the auto SD ext script, plus added some of thekravens fixes right into the ROM so they won't have to be flashed with the ROM and Gapps. As a matter of fact: If you don't delete the ASOP keyboard, Holo Lancher, and the stock theme, you can revert back to the SlimRom look when you get tired of the Galaxy S4 theme. I usually delete those to gain more RAM.

What recovery did you make the partition with?
Please read the first post and all the links in it.

I have 80 downloaded apps installed. I usually have anywhere from 86MB to 60MB of free space depending on when I cleaned all the caches.
The RAM will always be a problem for any ICS and Jellybean ROM's for this phone. I use Fast Reboot to help with this when I get a little low on RAM. This gets me back up to 45-50% RAM free.

If you clean caches daily and free up RAM daily, it's a good ROM. The Gingerbread ROM's are still going to be better because they don't use up as much RAM and internal storage.

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

Thanks AndieOpie.

For Link2SD on DanteROM, I made roughly an 800MB EXT4 partition with the free PC tool, MiniTool Partition Wizard, using the default cluster size (4kB, I think). I figured I'd see if my 32GB SD card would work, as is, with BeanWhiz, but if not, I figured I'd wipe it and reformat the SD card per your instructions in the OP. I'm not sure if that would work or if the stuff that's currently in my EXT4 partition would cause a problem. (I wish I knew a way to back-up, and restore the EXT4 partition on a PC so that I could Nandroid-restore DanteROM and restore the SD card for some reason BeanWhiz didn't work for me.)

If you have 80 downloaded apps installed, then Bean Whiz should be fine for me.

I realize that this phone wasn't built to support the bigger ICS/JB OS, but you wrote that "Gingerbread ROMs are still going to be better..." By better do you mean that the GB ROMs wouldn't require such periodic cache cleaning?

I've never used something like Fast Reboot. There are a few apps with that name on the Play Store. Do you mean Fast Reboot by Great Bytes of Software? Is that what you mean by a cache cleaner? I wouldn't mind cleaning the memory daily (as one would get with a reboot) as long as it wouldn't delete bookmarks, map locations, etc. Does Fast Reboot achieve that?

I've been reluctant to try theKraven's Slim Bean because:
1) I'm tight on time and theKraven kinda makes you experiment with which patches to flash (rather than building in the best ones like you've done). And...
2) It seemed to me (though I could be wrong) that he built-in a Data2SD type system that would move everything to your SD-card's EXT partition, rather than allowing users to implement a more user-selective (though less space gaining) Link2SD system. I like the idea of a user-selective system like Link2SD because if your SD-card fails or is removed, the phone's basic features (like calling & email) still work, as do whatever apps you choose to leave in internal memory (like lost/stolen-phone finder-wiper apps).

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 10/14/2013

Fast Reboot is for gaining more RAM by closing all running apps and only opening back up those that need to be running in the background.
You can also gain more RAM by deleting those pre-installed apps like e-mail, the other launcher, the other keyboard, the setup Wizard, and the other theme.
I usually use SD Maid (I have the pro key), and 1 Click Cleaner to clean cache. I have the browser setup to clean history and cache on exit, and I clean the Superuser app logs as well.

Mini Tool sometimes is ok for the partition, and sometimes is not. I would use it to delete all partitions and create just one FAT32. Then choose to make a 1GB partition in the recommended recovery for this ROM.

I have a Windows OS and 2 Linux Distro's on my computer. When I put the SD card in with one of the Linux Distro it automatically shows me the ext.4 partition.
I think there is a way to see the ext.4 partition in Windows, but I really don't know (I got Linux, so I never worried about it).

At one point when I first started this thread I had 2 versions of Bean_Whiz. One with the SD ext script, and this one without. I had to pull the other. This one got way more downloads anyway.
I have tried to incorperate all of the necessary fixes in the ROM, plus, If you look in post #142 you will find an update with a 3G and GPS tweak. I haven't posted it in the first post yet due to not getting any feed back as to if the tweaks helped at all.

Is the speaker phone still not working? If not, that's a showstopper for me.

Booyah baby! Runnin 4.1.2 on an Opti S with a ZVJ radio (didn't need to flash new radio from Dante ROM). Used NiteStalker's patch at ZVD to ZVJ patch-OptS-08162012.
Running beautifully for a few minutes now (that's enough for me to be excited, I'll repost this weekend if it's still running).

Anyway to hide the signal bars (data bars on the status bar)? Great job on this rom though.

Re: [ROM][MOD][THEME] Bean_Whiz-CM10 Updated 12/03/2013

Good Question. Have never really thought about it. Hmmm?
I guess you could try and go to the UOT Kitchen and make a flashable taskbar theme, just leave the signal bar icon out. Might work?

I think you'd have to choose a solid color and black out the signal bars.. And you'd end up with a black space there
