For a second there, I was able to download and install and then it stopped downloading yet again...

I wonder if this IS because they are testing something as part of the prep for the official release?
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
Will you tell that to my dxTop, ticker, and diorama camera which have all been "starting to download" for 18 hours and 20+ minutes? k thanks. :)
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
I understand you're trying to help but you're barking at people when perhaps you haven't realized that everyone that's posted this problem is running the G build and so far, no one with H has reported having this issue. It's not certain apps, but every app in the market and it affected every "g user" starting around 9pm CST last night --- so yes, this has something to do with the G build.

And yes you look like you're being high and mighty, although perhaps not intentionally. So, go back to downloading apps with your H build if you like.
[G1 Android Development] inpherno3:
i just updated two programs that said they had updates.... without a problem at all (than again im using the htc build)
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
Thats a good theory but theres one small hole in it. The problems would be on all builds and google would have released a statement by now. With the tether apps they had a statement out within 2 days. We should just wait (and probably start a new thread for the G build market issues) until Friday.
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
I meant to say in the Paid Apps initial days. Oops. Remember the end of February when Paid apps launched, the first two weeks everyone had problems downloading apps? That's what that thread was about.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
haykuro appreantly just added 5.0.2Hr2 and 5.0.1Gr2 which suppose to fix the market issues.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Can anyone back this up? Why would a patch be needed for the H build when it was unaffected?
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
just go to the regular download site. it's there.
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Thanks I'm downloading now.

:)
[G1 Android Development] dbarrett480:
downloading the new G build now. Will see if it works
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Greatness! I knew Haykuro would save the day!
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Opps great. :)
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
the market has been fixed in the new revision 2 builds.. a new update will still be posted friday, this is only a revision.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Can you elaborate a little bit on what caused the issue?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
What was the fix?

Was it a change in build.prop or some other config file?
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Will either of these two (5.0.2Gr2, 5.0.2Hr2) feature apps on SD? If not, is waiting until one is released (hopefully Friday) my only choice? Because I think I saw a way to manually enable this somewhere, but can't find it again. :(
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
htc camera

haykuro, since you are here. I remember you said you ported the htc camra over to the G branch. I have been trying to do it and have run into problem with library htc pimlib. How did you do it? if it is not too complex could you just give me a little direction. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Great news!

Updating now.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
@haykuro

Q: Was it just the Vending.apk or something else?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
i wonder if the market is the only update? or does it include what wouldve been there this friday...hmmm
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Both appstosd are there.

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/downloads/list
[G1 Android Development] dbarrett480:
hmmm, market still isn't working. Maybe I need to perform a wipe first....
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Too many tinfoil hats logged in at once.

I'm not able to update right now, but if someone can confirm that the market works fine now (which I'm sure it does since haykuro knows his stuff), they should notify Boy Genius Report so they can update the article.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
yeah d/led Gr2 and market still isn't working for me. Didn't wipe though.

My "Build Number" says "unknown"
[G1 Android Development] t_hsieh:
Just wanted to give an update, I wiped with the new revision 2 and still haven't been able to perform downloads on android market.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I'll give this a run when I get home from work shortly.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
This makes me scurred! Anyone have any success stories to share?
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Oh, wow, they were JUST posted! And I refreshed that page 10 minutes ago. :)

Thank you and thanks haykuro!
[G1 Android Development] Gimpymoo:
Does the latest release have the force "High Quality" in Youtube playback when on 3G?

If not, which build does support this?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Yeah same here no market i still think its google because a friend of mine has RC33 and its not working for him.
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
Here my firt post, just to say after trying G rom, H rom, having fun wih fastboot, adb, flashing, reflashing, nandroid backup, and having this little problem with market on G rom..... wow, Haykuro is l33t.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpymoo:
Market downloads are working for me on Stock firmware.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
With 5.0.1Gr2 still no downloads. Phone states Model "HTC Magic" Firmware 1.5 Build number "unknown"
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
I had that problem a few months back where downloads wouldn't start. It was on Google's end. I assume it was a server outage somewhere because it started working a few hours later.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
Same here. Wiped, installed the update and I still cannot download things from the market.

Build number is also showing up as "unknown."
[G1 Android Development] lexi1986:
Market is working here with 5.01H.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
I wonder if G is going to one set of servers (europe) while H is going to another (asia) and stock rc33 is going to the american servers?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
yeah same here
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
The H series has not been affected by this. This issue is only for G builds.

Interesting theory.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Wow....Really?!
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Market is and has been working fine for me!

I'm on 5.02H AppsToSd! :D :cool:
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
the G version is based on the vodaphone htc magic so its definitely an european based image. When I open up google maps for the first time, it shows a map of europe. So maybe there are issues with the european google market servers?
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
Ok well im so close 2 flashing one of Haykuros roms, all I heard was good about them, but whats bad? Like which apps wont transfer to it? and when an official cupcake rooted rom comes out for the G1 will everything transfer back?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Same here. No downloads.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I've lost 2.99 USD due to this Market failure. I bought an app that I didn't like and I could not return it because I couldn't download it in the first place.

Oh well...
[G1 Android Development] testing567:
I don't know if this is an app compatibility glitch or a problem with the build. When you set an alarm on Klaxon, it crashes the whole OS. I was using the paid version of Klaxon on the 5.0.2H buld. (no apps to SD) After setting an alarm, the first time the screen sleeps, the phone freezes. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but it wold get stuck looping the HTC boot image and chime sound. The only way to restore it was to perform a wipe. I reinstalled Klaxon to see if maybe it was just a fluke, but the same results repeated. Did anyone else with Klaxon have the same problem? I never tested i with the free version of Klaxon. I ended up reinstalling RC33JF.

I know app compatibility issus are common with Android 1.5, and usually mean that the dev just has to update with the new SDK, but I haven't read about any apps that caussed the infinate loop boot screen.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
Again, it's only an issue with the G builds. :rolleyes::D
[G1 Android Development] jayaustn:
Has anyone noticed a problem with the hardware keyboard in the H build? The auto-correct seems to be much worse than that of RC33. For example, when a type a word and then enter two spaces (to input a period), the period appears after a space (like this . / instead of this.). Additionally, apostrophes are not being inserted into contractions like before. Can anyone confirm this?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I guess this will be the first time I do a nandroid backup. 1) does nandroid restore the applications? and 2) I would simply do the 3 nandroid files (data.img, system.img, and boot.img) right?

I did a nandroid backup right before flashing Gr2.
[G1 Android Development] jsapp:
I've been running 5.0G and have had no issues with Klaxton (paid).

What is weird is when the issues with the market started, I had one in queue. A few hours later I did tried another app to see if it was just an app issue, and that one dl'd right away, while the other app stayed stuck, and still was in the morning. Weird the other got through.

AND OMG did you know everything works fine on the H build.:D:D Sorry, but I had to add that as I don't know if I've seen that enough yet.
[G1 Android Development] KPeriod:
That's extremely weird. Klaxon (paid version) works fine for me on 5.0G (A2SD).
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
It seems that market fix did not fix it after all -- all of my apps are still stuck on "Starting download".
[G1 Android Development] Keyser.Soze:
I am still running 5.02H (not the new r2 revision) and Market downloads are fine here. I just downloaded two apps successfully.
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
OK, one more report of Market downloads stuck at "Starting" using 5.0.1Gr2. This is my very first Haykuro build and I am loving it so far, but I can't even install a file manager so that I can install the apps I backed up on my SD card using ASTRO before upgrading. :(

It's obvious this is only an issue with the G build, but I am not sure I want to go with the H. Unless I misread, the H build doesn't support the hardware keyboard and has some features or something in Chinese. Wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
May i ask what's so different about the H build and the G build? because if the H build seems to be working why not just use the H build? i'm really new to this, after not been on here for like 3 weeks or longer. I'm on JF 1.42 right now so can i just immediately go straight to this new build? i'm also on a themed g1 so will this also affect it? ok if you find these questions to be repeated way to many times just please repeat it again for me please.
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Like you, I was on 1.42 and I just upgraded directly to 5.0.1Gr2 with no problem (other than the Market download problem). You do have to do a wipe, so you loose all applications, data, configuration, your theme, etc. As far as differences between G and H, I am not sure myself, which is why I asked in my post just above yours.
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
ah thank you, and as for the theme being deleted, can i reinstall it after i have this new build installed?
[G1 Android Development] jsapp:
G is based on google code and h on htc code. Both have a different look and a few other differences which have been noted. You can find them by sifting through all the "market works on h build" posts
[G1 Android Development] djdant:
I Feel that G is more stable, I Tried H and force close galore! I don't care about the looks i care about stability, and G is it for me, no problems, the only problem was the low volume but i downloaded volume control
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
So just to try it, I tried to restore using nandroid and the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3311708&postcount=2

It won't work, it just tells me:

...FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

This was for all system.img, data.img and boot.img

I searched, hopefully my search was good enough...
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
hey found a comparison thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502889
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Yeah your right, and yeah I will. I'm more interested in the H build anyway. I've already got a version that defaults to english and uses the IME (VK) from the 4.9 build that is english only and has calibration.

I'm starting to think that the HTC build is just an HTC modified version of the latest sync of the Google source. My latest sync from the source repo has the widgets from the 'HTC' build (not the custom ones that were chinese only but the music/calender stuff)

Anyway, back to my en_US-PROPER build. No more barking ;)
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Weird.... I am on H and I only have 1 force close caused by RingForce on the start-up. Otherwise I had 1 random force close in Overclocking app but those are just apps, build itself is rock solid, waaaay better and faster then r33. Try wipe may be? I'm on 5.01H apps2sd, manually removed HTC widgets, pushed non-chinese dialer, all caches on sd (browser, streetview,maps,gmail,dalvik). Still researching whether I should or shouldn't push G browser into this build.

Did you guys know that if you double-tap in H browser it will zoom-in and zoom-out? I must have missed the memo as I just found out!!!! Will G browser do it if I decide to push that in? Also, did anyone notice that if you close the browser and open it again it will open a new window? I HATE that!!! Is this the same for G browser? I miss my bookmarks but I want to save my zoom.... any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] calelloa:
Does the calendar sync work in 5.0.2H?

The first time in the initial setup work on but then not?

In the Data syncronization there is only exchange parameter but where is the google configuration?
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
The sync option in settings might not be there but it's definitely syncing. I flashed to 5.0.2H last night and my google calendar events populated automatically jus fine after having wiped it.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
It works, you just can't turn it off like you could in the google builds.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
This is weird too.... I thought that apps were "sand-boxed" and bad (not to say that Klaxon is bad, just may be not compatible) apps should just force close and not cause any harm to OS.

Here's my experience with Klaxon: I was on JF R33, 1.41 and then 1.42 and ever since I installed Klaxon my alarm would not loop ringtones, it would play them once and then show animation completely silent. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it - same thing. Uninstalled it again... and my stock alarm started doing that. Not sure what happened, I just started using MP3s for alarms (full songs) but that was not cool, I overslept 2 days in the row before I figured it out :D
[G1 Android Development] jayaustn:
Has anyone noticed a problem with the hardware keyboard in the H build? The auto-correct seems to be much worse than that of RC33. For example, when a type a word and then enter two spaces (to input a period), the period appears after a space (like this . / instead of this.). Additionally, apostrophes are not being inserted into contractions like before (for example, youre). Has anyone else noticed this? And if so, is it possible to port the old auto-correction into the H build? I text a lot, and it's terribly annoying.
[G1 Android Development] djdant:
I've wiped everytime i put a new update on my phone., H to me just seems less stable, I LOVE MY G5.0 lol, I just wish i could download apps again! Oh well i got most of my apps i need
[G1 Android Development] calelloa:
In my case, the initial syncing work but then when I add a new event in google calendar or in the phone, the sync doesn't do.

Please check it and confirm it.

Thanks.

EDIT: The sync that doesn´t work is from the phone to google.

From google to the phone work.
[G1 Android Development] khoaitaychienvn:
im running 5.0.2H and have no probs with Market. So i dont really have the need for 5.0.2Hr2
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Not a chance, themes are build-specific, RC9 will not work on RC33, RC33 will not work on RC9 and neither will work on any of the Haykuro builds. Somebody partially ported Moondust theme to one of the builds but I wouldn't mess with it just yet, as far as I remember that was an incomplete port and pretty messy at that, I could be wrong but as I said, these builds are too fresh to have any themes to them. Just wait and see... it'll be theme galore in few weeks.
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
another feature, which isnt very practical on the htc brower, is if a page is loading shaking the phone does a stop.. but seems like you have to press the menu button first before you shake it.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
does the vk from 4.9 have the handwriting recogn. if not i can live without it but i found it to be a fun way to do a simple thing
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
Yeah i think you're just pressing stop while you shake it beause it doesnt do that on mine.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidAutobot:
Confirmed. If i put an event in using my phone it's not visible online. However...

If i put an event in from my computer logged into my gmail it instantly appears on my phone. So there's a work around to the particular issue
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Doesn't do it for me neither:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] calelloa:
Solved. calendar.

The problem was that there is one calendar, in chinesse language set as default and when you add an event, this is created in this calendar, and so the sync is not produced.

We have to set our calendar in the adding action.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
No it doesn't. This time around I'll try to use the one from the build and just set my defaults to be Engrish.

HTC_IME - 4.4mb has calibration, doesn't seem to support other languages (maaaaybe, I just haven't got it worked out yet...I need to see how google is doing it first. the master branch has like 10 languages all supporting the vk)

HTC_CIME - 3.5mb no calibration, but does calibration really matter? Also has the handwriting and other stuff you are used to

Too bad I can't use them both. I can actually package up either IME to be installed via data, but that's a project for another day.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I ported the MoOn_DUST theme inside the 5.0G version also made it lite changed font and and added ASTRO and Terminal Emulator by default with matching icons and its fully working.

Hit the MoOn_DUST on my sig for the builds both reg and apps to S.D. :)

Thanks to haykuro again for this great work. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Furthermore.... I got all kinds of "calendar.process.blah.blah" force closes when I tried to do it. Just as got done showing off saying I don't encounter any force closes :D
[G1 Android Development] knaries2000:
May be it was just my imagination.. i thought it did do it.. oh well
[G1 Android Development] Gunnygt49:
anyone know if dxtop works with this?
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Hope I did not offend you by saying that port was messy :)

[off topic]

Theme itself in its original form was awesome... If judges were given more time to test themes out I'm pretty sure you'd have first place, GlossSuite was awesome looking but completely unusable due to it's dark bar. Hope to see you making themes for these builds

[/off topic]
[G1 Android Development] AGx-07_162:
I currently use 5.0G (not the 5.0.1Gr) and DxTop works perfectly fine for me.

|Spike|
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
go to the link in my sig for your answer.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Any reason you used a full update over the 'theme only'?

How difficult would this be for me to port over to H (assuming I've found a ton of free space...a ton being about 3mb or so)

I rewrote/modified that script to convert themes, but it was an epic fail on the H builds. I'm wondering if the rules changed.
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
Change the calendar that its being add to to your email address isntead of the squares.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
Not to difficult i think if you make it for the builds with a2sd.

Can all app related post be redirected to my thread here http://xdaforums.com/show...64#post3578264.

This will keep the thread from growing by 10+ pages a day and come to think of it all the market posts can be put there too. Its really annoying going through all those pages of the market not working or is working posts.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
The rules changed big time time there totally different on the inside the ports for each theme would take for ever. The reason i used the whole build was because i tried the normal way and it failed something about goldfish blah blah..but the way i did it works just fine for now and its a full port has even more than the original it really works great the keyboard i used looks good to.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
That new build didn't work for anyone? Darn!
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
You used a different keyboard?!?!?!?!

*shakes fist*

I JUST reflashed to the H version. Maybe in a few weeks I'll start playing around with theming.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
re: stability H vs. G

I was convinced that G was more stable than H for a while, but I decided to try the 5.0.1H build out for a few days WITHOUT installing all my favorite apps immediately. I started off just running the stock apps and then throughout the course of a day gradually added some others and it was rock solid UNTIL I installed WakeMe Alarm.

I love that app and was desperate to have it back but it's clearly not compatible, at least not completely let's say. It has a cool "minimal icons over your desktop" ui to it that won't show up, but rather it just opens as a black page. I decided to see if the buttons were there even though it wasn't showing and sure enough I could get to all the functional bits that way. Set alarms and everything worked fine, but when I turned on the "alarm notification on sleep screen" option and let the phone go to sleep the system crashed completely. Went into a boot loop and wouldn't come out of it until I flashed the update again.

The point I'm getting to is that I believe a lot of the stability issues folks are experiencing with both builds are related to app compatibility. Don't get me wrong, an incompatible app on a completely stable build shouldn't cause the system to crash completely, but I don't think the various anecdotal reports of "H is more stable" or "G is more stable" are necessarily indicative of all that's going on here.

I'm still much more fond of the vk on G, but the some of the features of H are pretty compelling (the camera and camcorder apps are SICK). I'll keep playing with both of them for awhile, but there is still no clear winner in my mind yet. Of course, portable features for fully customizable builds would be SWEET. :)
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Nope, and I tried to go back with nandroid and it wouldn't work. Now I'm debating if I should stay in the new build or wipe and flash the previous G build I had.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
Since the update didn't work that means that the market issue is not because of the build but is because of something that google is doing on their end, whether on purpose or not.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Not necessarily. Haykuro found something which convinced him otherwise.
