[Q] Fixing The "Couldn't Install On USB Storage Or SD Card" Problem
I'm having this major issue with all the 2.3 ROMs no matter what. Some apps just refuse to install when before there was no issue. It's exactly as here.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04...em-on-android/ I tried searching for the smdl2tmp1.asec file but couldn't find it either on the internal or external sd cards. Plus I am unable to mount the internal card on windows to search for the file.
I deleted /system/etc/init.d/11dalviklocation but that just made it worse. Now all my widgets died. I see a /HWUserData under storage settings now which wasn't there in 2.2 ROMS and I never had this issue in 2.2 ROMs.
Also, at bootup, I always see a notification in the statusbar. SD card safe to remove. And under the /HWUserData storage, I see mount the sd card. It seems the system refuses to mount the sd card or the /HWUserdata additional storage which appears under storage settings.
The only way I can install the hard to install apps is by unmounting my external sd card then installing the app which i guess forces the app to install on the internal sd card.
I installed this mod,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=partition Geno's Custom you data partition's size. Could this be contributing to the problem? Is there a way to search for the file smdl2tmp1.asec file using recovery and deleting it? This issue cropped up after installing an Oxygen ROM and from then on any 2.3 rom I installed has this issue. It's bugging the hell out of me, I'm currently running CM7 and its perfect except for this issue. Help anyone?
Anyone else facing this issue? this is driving me nuts!
