[FIX] Fix for Apps Not Installing on TheDude's [FIX]

Alright, so I've seen plenty of people with this same problem and the answer is scattered about, so I'm posting here so everyone can find it.

At one point, I had the same problem and used this method, so it should work for everyone!

This works for sure for those who DO NOT use APPS2SD, I'd like someone to confirm for those that do use APPS2SD.

-------------

Update the Phone

You should already be using the new 1.2 version of TheDude's already, A or B version doesn't matter. If you've already updated, and still experience this problem, continue.

Wipe The Phone

I used the ALT+W method, although I've heard the Factory Reset option (in the settings menu) works better. Either one works though. You'll still have root access, but when the phone restarts (next step), it'll be stock firmware.

Start up the phone after wipe

Start up the phone after the wipe, just like you would normally. Don't re-flash anything, don't change anything after the wipe. Go through the initial set up menu and log in to your Gmail/Email account. Once you're done with that:

Install an APP from the Market

You should still be on the stock firmware. Download and install any app from the market. I installed the Weather Channel for convenience. It will successfully download and install, like normal. Once you've confirmed that, continue on.

Power Down/Reflash

Turn off the phone when your app has been installed, and start up the phone with Home+Power.

DO NOT WIPE YOUR PHONE

. It's key that you don't, because otherwise you will start all over again with the same problem. Flash TheDude's on TOP of the current firmware. No wipe needed.

After Install

Reboot the phone with Home+Back, as usual, and when the phone has restarted, you should now be able to install anything from Market or the Package Installer. Note: You shouldn't have to re-sign in again. If you do, something's wrong.

Any problems, let me know :].

I hope this isn't too obvious to post, but MyFavs is based on your T-Mob account settings, not on some setting on your phone. Set it up via MyTmobile.com and you will get the rate regardless of your phone settings.
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Dude,

I was checking out the Cyanogen mod of JF 1.5 and he mentioned an updated radio interface layer. Does your build have this?

_________________________

anyone found a fix for lowering the in-call volume yet? (bump)
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I think Dude's working on implementing a lot of stuff Cyanogen's using. He definitely mentioned EXT3 or 4 support. Good question on the RIL. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I know I'm being redundant on the volume level thing, but I just opened up Audio Manager and the last slider is Voice Call Volume. Did you try it? Sorry if it's not what you're looking for.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
I know you're not promising anything... but that sounds like maximum eyecandy with minimum footprint. Thanks for working on this stuff :cool:
[G1 Android Development] berish:
after playing around with the hero w/ rosie, and nandroiding back to dudecake 1.2b, i pushed some of the widgets and one of the programs that were in the build into the app folder. the widgets totally dont show up, but quickoffice, which was installed as part of the hero build, is there and works great.

just fyi
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Thanks for the heads up. :D
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Hi Dude,

Now that an official hero image is out, are you going to start working on making your own hero builds?
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
Use the search function please.
[G1 Android Development] Ummuish:
dude, Are you going to include the HTC apps from the rogers rom?
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Woops... I actually remember reading that now...god I need sleep.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
Been runnin the 1.2 for a week now and I have to say it is rock solid stable for me. Apps2sd never worked on my phone without crashing it, but I think that is a sdcard class 4 issue. I'm sure there are class 4 cards that work, mine does not. But I can live with that till I get a faster card. I swear the freakin thing is faster than any smart phone I've owned yet. And so much more versatile.
[G1 Android Development] imnothimm:
gOOD TIMES??

TheDudes1.1a was the first build I flashed after I rooted my phone...

Love the stability

Have tried others but end up returning to The Dude

The Dude = QUALITY

FTW: TheDude Rocks

1.2b.. until his next release
[G1 Android Development] fdeschape:
Tested

Okay i tested out the Full but i had problems with contacts and the messaging. it would not retain my contacts and always forceclosed my messages. other than that it looked good.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
yea that's what i was thinking, oh well not really needed i was just wondering and i'm loving this 1.2b!!
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
???????????

can anyone tell me why does it keep popping up and ask if im feeling lucky UID's SYSTEM something around those lines?

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] Widz:
can i use the update.zip for the googley theme on a 1.2b full? (or as it's label'd as 1.2a theme will it bork my rom install up)?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Oooh official non watermarked Hero build has been released. Dude you see this? maybe you can start picking it apart lol.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
looks bloody big- requires a lot of things- apps_s to ext2 etc........ not sure if this is the way to go....
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
I just want flash player and I'm good to go.
[G1 Android Development] cilokid:
i installed this verison but any time i try to install my apps from the market it wont install so i downgraded to 1.0 and it worked is there a reason i cant install market apps with dude 1.2
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
wipe, flash 1.2, try to download (it might but it won't install), do a factory reset and it'll work....it happened to me yesterday and i did the factory reset and have been able to download and install off the market
[G1 Android Development] cilokid:
thank you very much it worked
[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
can someone look at post #4150 and please help me out i dont know why this does this
[G1 Android Development] cilokid:
i thought the issue was solved but this prob still happens can any one help me with this please
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
AUFS

hey Dude, any plans on using AUFS to replace unionFS for the apps partitions? seems to be accepted by the linux community as more stable?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I got this the when I was testing Dudes 1.0 for him. basically it is because your EXT2 partition isn't correct. Easiest way to fix this is to make sure your apps are backed up. Then repartition the EXT2 part of your card. Wipe and install dudes again. You shouldn't have this problem from then on.

Might have to run Apps to SD 2 again just to make sure everything is ok.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
not sure the reset worked perfect for me but you can try this...it was posted a few pages back

[G1 Android Development] jgu71424:
cool so make sd fat32 put rom in it and update once update is complete make the sd fat32/EXT2 correct?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Yeah you could do it the way I did it. Formatted the entire card to fat32. This means deleting the partition and reformatting. I used Acronis for this because other programs sucked bad.

Anyway after that Wipe, install the update. Run the A2SD 2 program and it will tell you that you need to partition. (Select the size you want with the slider) Just do that and reboot. Upon startup run the program again. This time selecting move apps to sd. Reboot again for good measure and then start installing as usual
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
The only issue I have noticed is sometimes when charging it won't charge above 87%. If I restart the phone ... what do you know it's 100% charged. This has been an issue I have noticed since version .94.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Thanks for giving me the credit dmm0816.
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
have you been doing a wipe with every new build you put on? my phone has no problem charging to 100% and the battery life is excellent (especially when compared with the pre-1.5 builds).
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
Gunnygt49 posted this idea (page 385), below, in response to the above.

I reposted this idea 11 pages later (page 386), like this:

Thanks Gunnygt49 for the suggestion! It worked like a charm!

Hey guys I just installed Lucid's script and it has really fixed the lagging and especially the music skipping while using the browser.

Check out the following:

Get the script and follow instructions in post 1.

Then follow what is stated in post 58 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520582&page=6

I am using Dude's 1.2b, Apps2SD2, Prodigal Sun/ MoonDust / Android + and Aero themes, Performed the .odex optimizations and now Lucid's script. It finally fixed the music halts!
[G1 Android Development] overground:
So this will work fine with the current unionfs? No loss of apps or anything, I'm assuming. Thanks. Going to try this.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Yes I tried it. Running it now. It really makes a difference. Try playing music and browsing a lot before and then after. You will notice. Of course everyone's phone is a little different with different SD cards so I cannot guarantee. I had already updated my ext2 to ext3 earlier so I don't know if you will lose apps during the conversion. Back up first and then copy back over just in case.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
what exactly does this do? i will give it a shot anyway....
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Man that was scary! Found a ton of errors. Just answered yes to everything. Phone is fine with everything intact. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
As far as what it does you would have to read Lucid's and the ext3 thread about it. Something to do with journaling and how it keeps the partition from developing errors on shutdown. Keeps down file corruption and doesn't need to perform writes everytime it accesses a file.

Currently the filesystem writes to the card everytime you read a file whether or not you change it. This modification makes it so that the writes are only performed when the file is actually changed. Since fewer writes are done it speeds things up a bit.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Yes mine did the same thing. Appears to have been the corruption caused by the read/write/dismount problems with ext2 filesystem. That's why it seems to be a nice update.
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
Yes I did ... In fact when I went to 1.2b I went as far as reformatting and repartitioning my SD card as well.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
yeah scared the crapola out of me all those errors! just answerred yes as well.... figured if i screwed it would just reformat....

phone still works which is a good thing! :D

will check out music later at gym.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Well, the dude will do Hero when he gets to it. It's on the agenda; chill, aiight?

It's not more stable; it's an alternative, as the name suggests. In some cases it may have superior functionality... but nothing groundbreaking that we absolutely need on the phone. How about we deal with the real issues?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i know everyone loves the GUI of hero etc but to be honest i don't think its worth with all the extra things you have to do- eg. change spl, move a heap of stuff to sd....

i prefer a nice easy install with very few things to go wrong....
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
I have JF1.51ADP, no EXT2/EXT3 partition or anything. What do I have to do? I don't have the developer tools on this computer.

Thanks, this looks great...especially the 5 home screens. Been waiting for someone to add that!
[G1 Android Development] bigant262:
For some reason, I cannot download any apps. It keeps saying insufficient storage. Help? I have wiped and flashed again but still doesn't work.

Camera works ok. Video quality on recorded vids from the camcorder still sucks a$$ though.

Youtube kinda works, some videos work, some throw the "this video can't be played" error.
[G1 Android Development] CaptSilver:
Good Job!

I am not having any problems with the 0.7 version. Good job!! :D Finally, I can have my cupcake and eat it too.
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
The camera and YouTube has been working everytime I've tested on v0.5, the camcorder even works, just really bad quality playback... I'm not sure if I should flash or not.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
I can confirm that one. Not important to me though, just tested to see if I could duplicate it for ya.

No problems on my end.... I've been sending texts and made/recieved several calls on my Plantronics Voyager 520 bluetooth since I flashed. Have you tried reflashing yet? Only takes a few minutes...
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
no hq utube

camera is worse on.7 as compared to .6

video cam playback is very bad on .6 and worse on .7

No force close on maps even street view works for me those other things have been noted before and i know there being worked on so i'm not worried. When it's fixed we will see it with no wait. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I've seen this before. When I tried installing PF Visual Voicemail it trashed my phone.

I have a feeling it is because you have an app that is nort happy with cupcake. Can you give me a list of you applications installed?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Hi at all,

it keeps me busy reading all this stuff - thanks @all for that many informations & @thedude for the great job!

I think I will try 0.7 apps2sd also there are problems with GPS and maybe maps, but when that could be fixed with another nonwipe-version later it is ok.

Just one question: I am coming from JF 1.43 ADP 1.1h at my DevPhone - should I better do a wipe before?

Thanks a lot & cu
[G1 Android Development] YoungAceAtlanta:
These builds seem more like the cupcake that googles displays on the G1 not like haykuro's was ment for the G2/Magic but he ported alot of things over...but im guessing TheDude is doing the same thing but just seem more stable and also market works. i found no bugs at all....yet

EDIT:

i did find a audio problem but i guess you said you was working on that..Audio sound so mono tune like
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
im just gonna wipe and start over i only had about 40 apps no biggie..

I did the factory reset also. Still doesn't work. Maybe I should have been more specific in the first place, rather then having a douche say something. :)
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
Okay. I just installed it without having to do anything. I won't have apps2sd as I didn't want to set it up atm, but so far things seem to be working.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I just flashed to this ROM.

But I noticed that the E-Mail app keeps force closing whenever I try to set up any e-mail account. I enter my e-mail + password, and right when I press Next, FORCE CLOSE, or when I press Manual Setup....FORCE CLOSE.

Anyone have any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
never used that email- try out k9 from the market.

lmao page 417 post #2 bigant...thank lukekirstein for the solution, works flawlessly

kusotare just had me rolling lol:D
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
@bigant

Can you give more details about what you have done to your phone? (The order in which you have done each step). The more details you give the better the chances of getting the tight solution.

If you wiped before flashing the rom. Try booting to the OS, and then doing a factory reset (or boot into recovery and wipe), and then boot to the OS again, fill out your info. Hope that works for ya. I know you wrote doing a factory reset, but you didn't describe the order of all your operations.

Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] dayday2009:
you might have to wipe had the same problem once i wiped it didn't force close no more
[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
I had the same problem. In my case, it was a very simple solution.

Just wipe it again! Don't reflash it, just wipe. Upon restart, everything worked ok.
[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
I'd like to flashback to the most stable version....was that 1.2a full?

I can't remember. hah. I just know that since I've flashed to 1.2b full,

things just aren't running nearly as smooth. Where can I find the links to download older versions? Cheers.
[G1 Android Development] mrmonto:
Try wiping without flashing. Fixed all my issues. Very Stable now!
[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
All you have to do is WIPE it again! Worked for me at least!
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
When I get a call.......force close....:S
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
No major issues so far. I don't think in call volume works but the marketplace works just fine(no apps2sd setup btw) and the phone runs noticeably faster which is quite nice. I really love the extra 2 home screens and the included theme is nice.

Great work Dude, JF has some serious competition :)

Just went to Dudes

Just got done flashing dudes 1.2b, try to install apps get insuffecient space, got 51mb free. I would us the a2sd, but when i use that my wifi tether appz dont work. Does anyone have a fix or a workaround for this.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
It has been answered many times. Usually a wipe fixes it, or factory reset. Search the last few pages of the thread for your answer. It has been repeated a few times.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Slightly off topic, but relevant in a round about way I suppose....

Was at Best Buy and couldn't resist-

Here's to The Dude! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Not off topic because after all it is the dude.

Maude Lebowski: What do you do for recreation?

The Dude: Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

To get back on topic though, co-worker saw my G1 and was like how did you get the 5 screens? So long story short, now he is rooted and running the dudes 1.2b, and I have a few others who want the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
new app2sd.apk ready?

According to all I have read that with dudes 1.0 and up the new method of melding the 2 partitions with unionfs, requires just downloading the app and follow the instructions, is this true, if so my other ?s are headed to the app2sd thread, I tried it but it only gave me just over 1.5gb to partition with a fresh fat32 8gig sd in its slot... as if its using the system internal partition.

Thanks, sorry if I'm a bit off topic,

[G1 Android Development] 5spot:
Did you edit the boot.img/"runme.sh" script to use the "-t auto" mount option? Or do we know if TheDude's build's already have that built in?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Tourist_007:
I doubt it's already built in as ''adb shell mount" returns mmcblk0p2 as mounted ext2
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
so are we optimizing odex files now? Is that the latest hack? hows it working out for everyone?
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
dont go to ext3

ext3 is "very bad" because of the way it does journaling. It does journal, which seems like a good idea, but it also automatically periodically writes a lot of things out to the same sectors on disk. I remember somebody familiar with ext3 writing about this on the ext3 mailing list. It's method of journaling is not particularly intended for any kind of wear leveling at all. The best option by far is JAFFS2 or YAFFS

Cyanogen's rom with ext3 just killed one of my sd's, its a bad idea

[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
So what do we do about ext2/3?

I have 1.3 ready to go with aufs and ext thanks to cyanogen's help....however this post above concerns me.

However I have the htc camera on my buld now.
