I'm pretty sure I'm using the same zip between ROMs and it wipes data, bit not the SD card portion. The only time I've had the SD wiped is when I did a factory reset to remove encryption. Other than that the zip says its wiping data, but my SD card is untouched.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] itlnstln:
It wipes Dalvik, not user data; Dalvik is in data. If you open up the zip and edit the script file, you can make it output whatever you want.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] myepicyear:
Friends, I come bearing answers! After *much* headache+frustration, I've finally figured out a way to stop this problem within the market. I've been living with this for several weeks and I've tried every suggestion around..If nothing else has worked for you, this is what you need to do.

To make this clear, Bugless Beast is not the culprit of recent market issues. Ever since the very beginning of ICS development (think kwiboo...ahh memories) our devices have seen a multitude of signed g-apps, sideloaded/modified g-apps, various built fingerprint,etc..

Now that ICS is "official", and Google is fine-tuning their server's to better interact with varying types of user accounts and their data structures, we're starting to see the effects of our data manipulation. Its not usually a big deal, but Android/Google is going through a transitional phase.

Its going to take a tiny bit of work, but its mindless;

1.Pick a new ROM, or use your current ROMs flashable zip

2.Do a nandroid backup and any other data backup methods you use.

3.WIPE DATA, CACHE, DALVIK, SYSTEM, BOOT, blah,blah..

*Feel free to try this without any wipe, but your chances for success are cut in half. Do things exactly as I have, and I can assure many of you will have success*

4.Flash new ROM, or flash old one all over again. Reboot.

5. Enter your email and password,sign in.

6. 5.Here's where the critical change comes in. When you come to the *GOOGLE ACCOUNT BACKUP/RESTORE screen, it'll have the two check boxes. LEAVE THE "BACKUP MY DATA.."box checked, and UNCHECK "RESTORE MY DATA.." option.

7.Continue setup. Once you finish, you'll notice that all those apps that usually restore, now don't.

Its a pain, but here's your chance to start fresh-A clean slate. If you value your time, I would suggest manually downloading all your apps within the market this time. Once you get all your apps from the market, you'll be set. The next time you install a new ROM, you can leave that "RESTORE" data box checked, and all the correctly linked apps you just downloaded will restore properly. The key to avoiding this problem from here on, is to *maintain*. Don't let it get this bad again.

If you need more clear, articulate directions, let me know, and Ill do my best to help you.

OK, there it is. I hope you guys are as happy as I am to have this

solved!

FYI: Your contacts and other core account data will still restore. Only apps and settings will not restore.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Prodigy095:
Still getting the market error as well. Don't mind purchasing from the web but it's bothersome when I forget and try to buy an app.

Tried other roms with no problem. Gonna keep this BB rom since I can get a full 24hrs on 1 charge but I hope this gets figured out soon.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] myepicyear:
If the market is working for you on other ROMs, then something else is causing your error. I'll try to think of some scenarios in which this could happen. In the mean time, I have a couple questions for you guys..

First- Are you now, or have you ever used Titanium Backup to force attachment or detachment of an app from the market?

Second-What is the exact error you are receiving from the market when trying to purchase?

(Mine was "an error occurred...".)

One more thought--What is the status of your Google Wallet/Google checkout account?(if any)

My apologies to anyone that came up empty-handed after trying my suggestion. For now, let's say that if the market doesn't let you purchase on any ROM, then you are much more likely to have success from my previous tip.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] orbitman000:
here's something to try: remove Google account--->clear Play Store data/cache--->sign back in to your account.

it worked for me, i found the fix here on XDA in "[SOLVED] Market free app download - error processing your purchase!". it's an old thread, but a good one ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Has anyone had problems when booting? It seems that about every 1 out of 3 times my reboots after I boot it. I haven't had this issue with any other ROM. I'm using Matrix19, but have never had this happen before.

I have been running 4/9 since it came out. Everything work fine except being able to buy from the market. You can download and install without issues but when you go to purchase an app you get an error.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Where did you get 04/09? The last download/nightly on his site is for 04/06...am I mistaken?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
It's on his site at the Crespo downloads. Go to the bottom, he reworked his naming scheme.

I am running 4/9 too. I like it, except that my battery life isn't good. Mostly 10 hours or less. Are you seeing this or is it just me? I also have purchase app issues, but I figure that will get fixed eventually so I don't worry about it plus I can just buy on the website if I really need something.

I am on 4/9. No reboots for me on this version either.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Wow, I am not happy I tried 04/09. It ruined my ability to purchase apps on any ROM. I have tried going to a Nandroid on a different ROM and no dice. What the heck!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] silencecloak:
Sorry I don't have any help on the market issue, but I wanted to chime in as a user who has not experienced this problem at all, and has not done any "special" steps to flash this rom in a different way.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
I tried the new ROM method and wiping the Play Store / Account method with no luck on purchases. Anyone able to find other remedies or contact Pete? My searches came up short.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] im.nick.hello:
excited to flash this later.. seems solid
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jziggy101:
Not sure what Peter will do since he no longer has a Nexus S 4G device to test a fix on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Prodigy095:
Thanks for the help myepicyear but still no luck. Never restored anything via Titanium. Always reset and cleared as much as I could from the previous rom before flashing a new one.

Switched over to aokp and can purchase apps just fine. Was still getting the "error occurred" anytime I attempted a purchase with BB. I'll keep an eye on this rom but for now I cannot use BB.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jziggy101:
I just flashed PoolParty ICS rom which is based upon the Peter's Bugless rom and now my market works to buy apps.

Before I flashed the new rom I wiped the data/factory, formatted the Dalvik, the cache, the system, boot, winmax and then for kicks I usually do a fix permissions while in the recovery. I then flashed the poolparty rom and after letting Google restore my apps and even using Titanium Pro to re-install any missing apps I then tried the market and bought a cheap app. It worked.

So you might want to look at the PoolParty ICS rom

OMG lol I should have clicked it. Btw, the current latest nightly still has some reboots (not very often, got it after 100 hours of usage). Right now running stock 4.0.4 to see how stable stock is.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
I solved the Google Play purchase issue for myself and thought I would share for others interested. I downloaded a new gapps package from the goomanager app. Wiped Google System Frameworks, Google Play Store, rebooted into recovery and flashed the zip. At first it wouldn't allow me to sign into Google accounts so I wiped Frameworks again, rebooted and voila! Hope this helps someone.

Edit: gapps were 4-22
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
I'm wondering if Pete pulled the gapps from the Sprint official OTA. That should fix it imo.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
I'm going to try this today. Quick question though, any downside to updating gaaps (sorry, I'm a newb). Loss of settings, data, etc.?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Well, most of the time updating Gapps without a wipe causes a lot of issues. So try it first and if you start getting issues just do a /data and /cache wipe.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
Wiping data is essentially a factory reset so DO NOT do that unless you have a current backup. I have had no issues if you use the instructions I posted. If anything wipe dalvik and cache.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LanceSandino:
Facebook sync was taken out as of I believe the 20th / 22nd of January, because it was breaking picasa upload and caused a security issue.

If you want a work around, I just downloaded an old ContactsProvider.apk from like January 18th and copied it over the one on my phone and Facebook sync works; haven't been able to get pictures to sync but phone numbers do.

There's a 4G toggle in widgets. Just not in the status bar toggle.

Haxsync is by far better than native fb sync or syncmypix. It utilizes full resolution photos rather than resized garbage pix that fb sync or syncmypix uses. Well worth the $1.00 price tag....

I need help

I need some help with the 3/29 build of this ROM. It works fantastically. SUPER stable. I recently updated to the 4/9 build, found that it lacked the same smoothness and stability (my experience, not necessarily everybody's) and restore to my 3/29 nandroid backup.

Now back on the 3/29 build it seems like all processes quit when put in the background. Everytime I hit the Home key my launcher reloads like I just installed it. Many apps do the same, loading from scratch when I open the rather than start where I left off. Obviously having this happen to the launcher is infuriating as it's my start point for almost everything.

• I've made sure that Settings > Developer Options > Background Process Limit is set to 'Standard Limit'

• I've made sure that Settings > Developer Options > 'Don't keep activites' is NOT checkmarked

• I've tried all CPU governor settings. conservative, ondemand, performace etc. Same results across the board.

Can I provide a logcat or something for somebody to help troubleshoot this? What info do you need? :confused:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:

So I am doing a clean/fresh install of BB 4/9. After the initial boot do i then flash these gapps or ok to do it as soon as the rom loads?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
It is preferable to flash gapps with a fresh ROM install. But I think you should be able to flash them over your current install. YMMV.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
In order for Google Backup/Restore to work, you have to flash it at the same time as the rom.

Thanks for your feedback on 3/29. I have loaded this and I have to say that I agree. 3/29 is more stable and faster "feeling" than anything later up to and including 4/9.

I know you have already figured this out but... This is my +1 to running 3/29...

I did load this with a "proper wipe" + flash 3/29 + reboot and the rom went sideways.

I followed the suggestions in this thread and found that a "proper wipe" + flash 3/29 + flash the latest gapps was the trick to make this rom rock solid.

Edit: Now that I have a solid base, I can try to find a kernel that doesn't freak out my very voltage sensitive phone.

I had to get a new phone and installed 3/29. Everything is OK except that in processor settings under developer options, the min and max CPU frequencies are grayed out, i.e., I can't change them under any of the governors. Maybe a kernel issue? Right now I'm on the stock one that came with 3/29 BB, 3.0.8-g6656123, android-build@vpbs1 #1.

It runs fine. Some people have been having problem with Play Store (as have I), but some people have been able to fix it by updating Gapps. Overall I find it a good daily driver, and although I also have the store problem, I have been able to get around it by buying on website. BB hasn't been updated in awhile and I tried going to Slim and another ROM, but I generally felt that I liked the "clean" nature of BB the best. I fully expect that there will be an update someday and while I hope it's soon, I understand that Pete is jammed with finding a job. I would say to go for it.
