I still wonder if the problem is overclocking?

Right this ROM is really annoying. apps crash and every time I factory reset to get an app working another one breaks. I can't load blink or the stock browser as it says unfortunately blink has stopped. please help as I have factory reset and each time a different app breaks. I'm posting from opera mobile as that's the only app that works. I think this ROM is great but I can't use it if apps dont work...
and now the bus I'm on has crashed!

I get this problem too, but there is a staightforward, if time-consuming, solution:

(Make sure 'fastboot' is switched off first:  Settings>fastboot>off.)
1.  Settings/Apps/wipe cache.
2.  Reboot into Clockwork Mod Recovery.  (Easily done with Kyan's excellent new mod - just hold the on/off button down and then select 'recovery.')
3.  In CWM, First select 'mounts and storage' then mount, unmount and mount (again) the system.
4. Select 'advanced', then 'fix permissions.' (Takes a minute or two.)
5.  Reboot system and your problems will be gone.
6.  Switch fastboot back on again.  This way, you won't have to do all this every time you switch the phone off and on.  (However, every few reboots, you WILL have to do all this, because Kyan's ROM automatically does a full reboot every 5 reboots, even though you've got fastboot turned on.)

This is an excellent ROM in terms of speed and smoothness.  The problem with apps crashing (unless you do the above) is really annoying as it takes so long to do, and if you forget to do all this on a reboot, you have to switch the phone off and start again.  If anyone has any ideas why it happens to some people but not others, and if there's anything I can do about it, I'd be really grateful. I suspect it might be something to do with the fact that I'm using Link2Int.

Kyan - your latest Mod zip is excellent: everything works as far as I can tell and the power toggles are perfect.  I've found that CoPilot 9 has stopped working - not sure if that's related.

It used to do this with PaulBank's Kernal too. I changed the Kernal to see if it was a problem with the Kernal. I think it might be the SD card, as apps keep crashing, even when I uninstall... Sorry kyan31, Your ROM is amazing and I think you should keep up the amazing work, but for the time being, I'm going to have to flash to Cyanogen Mod, as the messaging app has broken and It will not send or receive messages with any other apps at all (I have sent messages to myself to check), and I really need messaging, I might come back to this ROM in a later release, when these little problems have been fixed, but for now, I'm going to have to go. I do think this is the best ROM, feature wise but sadly, I cannot live with the broken apps. Thank you everyone for your help and thanks Kyan, for your amazing Lightning ROM.

The ROM is fully working, there are no bugs present like the ones you mentioned. You probably did something that caused this to happen.

P.s what sd card do you have? The G300 cant handle 32gb sd cards, they have many problems.

I've got a later version of co pilot 9 .4.0.144 and on the face of it looks like its working on lightning rom  , when I was running b936 I had co pilot 9.1 and that crashed a lot

I've got a 32 gb card in mine do you think that's why I had internal/SD card issues.

[kyan31]

I released another OTA patch with a build.prop fix. I will also update the first patch now, and maybe even the whole ROM if I have time.

You can also download this patch here:

Flash it with no wipes.

I thought that the suspicion was that if the card did not respond "fast enough" at boot time then the default storage switched from external to internal. I'm not sure that this was specific to any card size - in particular 32GB. But maybe the larger the card the more that has to be done at boot time so the slower the response or something?!

If you are having problems then perhaps try formatting and maybe even partition aligning as follows and see if that helps:

It won't, 32GB cards have problems because of the G300's hardware. I think Huawei botched the sd reader on this thing. I only use 8GB cards so i'm ok

[Miki Bakaiki]

Kyan, i'm getting lot of app crashes lately ... i have it overclocked @ 1152, and done full wipes multiple times before flashing it nice and clean ... i tried cydas mod as i said a few posts ago and i could only get errors, now, i get a lot of apps crashing ... i do see that i only have like 200 mb of storage left, maybe its a reason for the crashes , i don't know . I have internal storage set to default and it says that i'm actually using XXX MB of the 2gb internal memory, without cyda's mod ... I think i'll do an update.app and stick with a stock rom for now... college is killing me and i need a stable phone.. wish i was on vacations so i could mess around with it

Inspite everything, i think this is the best rom out there, regarding everything ! keep up the good work, and i'm really eager to see electra !!

PS: can anyone get mozzila's firefox working ? i open it and then it just gets stuck on a loop...

Has anyone had a 16GB card switch from default SD storage to Internal storage on a reboot?

[kyan31]

So many people with problems, I can't handle it

@people with problems:

I really don't know what I can do about it, without some actual help, I cant help you. Logcats, screenshots, anything. You can't just expect me, or anyone else to fix problems which cannot be traced down. I'm sorry to sound so rude, but i'm telling the honest truth, I just need you guys to understand.

Cured my problems with a complete wipes , format system and reinstall from scratch and left storage as internal, had no problems since, I've got a 32 gb card and I suspent the problem was when storage was set to SD card , system didn't read the SD card fast enough some times so kept swapping , my system shows SD card which is internal, and SD card which is my 32 gb card and it all works well

16gb cards switch to internal

What exactly is the problem with 32GB cards and G300 so? It's definitely not that they don't work at all because I had one installed when I got my phone originally and was able to access it on stock and Infusion. However I wasn't using the external storage thing at the time.

Are things more stable if you stop overclocking? That would be my first question...

I think it's the other way around : if you overclock, it might get more unstable ... i'm not sure though, wild guess !

[kyan31]

Overclocking: Unstable/instability

No overclocking: Solid, and bug free.

I was using my 32GB card without problems with v3.5 of Kyan's Lightning Rom, but when I upgraded to V4 it started defaulting to internal storage and made a mess of my phone as I had all my apps stored on the internal 2GB card using Link2Int.  Since then I have gone back to v3.5 and the storage problem has gone away again.
