I'm getting frustrated also. I have deleted wiped, flashed, wiped again, flashed, formated ext2, deleted just the data folders, deleted app and app private and i still cant download from the market. Does any one have a successful method of getting this to work? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] parmenti:
Dude.. are you going to hammer out an Ion Rom? I really want to stick with Ion but no unionfs kinda sucks.. would love to have the IM app also :) Whaddaya say? :)
[G1 Android Development] cvenk:
I did update to 1.2a . everythinh fine, I got 720MB free internal memory (WTF).. but it's good.

Sweeter home does NOT work. And a little to much apps.

Otherwise OK.

ps.

How can I get keyboard to qwertz and not QWERTY
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
There aren't a lot of differences between the ion that i've seen.

I'm testing 1.2b which has the ion dalvikvm. I can't tell if it is faster or not.
[G1 Android Development] kstar54:
k, i am installing apps, installed and ran apps2sd (although it didnt give the warnining to go thru the apps2sd thread instructions as it typically does when i wipe) but i still only have 54 mb available on internal storage, b4 I have over 300mb.....any ideas? I flashed 1.2a

On a good note, I am SCREAMING fast!!
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Ok....those of you that have no problems going from build to build check this

http://www.4shared.com/file/108610517/9afc5690/TheDudesCupcake12bfullzip.html

that has the dalvikvm from ion. I THINK this is what makes it faster (yeah the odex files don't hurt either, but I'll get to that soon enough)

Try it out, that's the only change. I just need a faster/not faster from 1.2a.
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
downloading it now dude...
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
O this is going to get interesting. Downloading now:D
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
oooh, i'm gonna try, will report back sir! hehe
[G1 Android Development] lilmoh:
Updating to 1.2b now...cant wait to see what happens
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
does the dalvikvm still run from SD if chosen through apps2sd??
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
this isn't the dalvik-cache.

this is the dalvikvm or virtual machine.

it's what runs stuff and stuff.
[G1 Android Development] King_tee:
Dude will this fix the issue of apps not installing from the market?

Every time i try to download apps from the market i get "Installation unsuccessful". The crazy thing is that this only happens after i run apps2sd 2. If i download apps before i run apps2sd they install fine.
[G1 Android Development] newbie2006:
Ok going to download and update, without wipe first, from 1.2a build.

Update: OK installed, dont really see any speed difference, on this build. Again, using 1.2b up from 1.2a update no wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
D'oh! still learning the dev side of this stuffs. thanks for telling me. i wish i could give you your time back for replying lol ;)

PS i do notice a speed difference on 1.2b. definitely.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Hmmm...maybe that's your problem ;)

Works fine for me, I keep installing new apps as well.

I've asked you all to give me a little more information...

Installation unsuccessfull is like telling someone to fix your computer because 'firefox won't run' It gives me nothing to go on, thus nothing to help you with.

Besides, if you read i said I changed one thing..and only one thing. Nobody with the space storage issues have given me a single log....so...eh...can't reproduce what I can't see.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
ion faster?

have any of you guys tested ion and see if it's similar? Where's parmetti?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Sorry Dude, it's really hard to tell. I definitely don't think it hurt it. Maybe a tad snappier. I'll keep testing.
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
i had the same issue. what i did was remove the data, app, app-private and dalvik-cache folder from /system/sd/, rebooted, went into apps2sd, did the usual, then used appsinstaller to restore my apps.

PS i havent tested ion, but i'm on 1.2b and i see a speed difference compared to 1.2a.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Gmail definitely loads faster.

Same with messaging.

Think you're on to something.
[G1 Android Development] Fr0sTy333:
agreed......
[G1 Android Development] newbie2006:
yeah dude - i dont really notice much if any, maybe a bit, but nothing to scream about, however on overclock to 528, u really cant tell if it is faster or not.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
My overclocking's not on so, yeah it's running super fast. Gonna enable OOC now and see.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
but to be honest, that's what i said about ion.
[G1 Android Development] parmenti:
Hey, he stole my word... but YES dude... it seems MUCH snappier.. nice work... especially with overclocking on. I don't think there's any reason to stray from your build now :) Would love the new camera though.. is that in anyway possible?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
We'll see. there are some interesting changes on the open source camera...i keep hoping to work on that instead.

Test results

Ok, while the difference is not huge (1.2 was fast already), I believe I see a noticeable difference when launching, loading and running any native google apps (gmail, maps, etc.). Everything else just loads fast, that's all there really is to say. Nice work, thanks.

EDIT: I also don't see the Amazon app in 1.2b, but I didn't flash 1.2a, so I never had it to begin with. I don't want it anyways.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
1.2b is definitely quicker. Not overclocked and I don't think I will with this kind of speed:D
[G1 Android Development] newbie2006:
Yeah Dude forgot to express my thanks. Again I turned off over-clock, and the native apps launch faster, but opening an email seems to be the same. But i and many here thank you for taking the time to share your work, to make our investment in these phones more exciting and practical to use... thanks man, really.
[G1 Android Development] Kino Joe:
Hello ,TheDudeOfLife

Nice work, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
1.2b report

ok, just flashed 1.2b. before i did i tried to do stuff i normally do so that i could have something to compare with. i'm not sure if it's because i flashed a new version of thedude's firmware so i'll play with it for a day or so and see if there is any slowdown. but from what i can tell, everything seems to be a little bit quicker. it definitely makes my user experience a lot better. this is how the g1 should have been when it was first released! so gmail seems to load faster. the browser seems the same but menu transitions and changing windows feels smoother. i like that the native camera app loads up quicker. the gallery is snappier too! the vk is a little better, more responsive. i'm running out of adjectives to describe my satisfaction. oh, my doggsnatcher app is much quicker, it used to be so slow starting up. another tell tale sign that the new dalvik-vm definitely helps is menu lists whether it is the market or when i go to manage applications loads up much faster. right now i have apps2sd on a class 4 card. hoping my new class 6 card will make my g1 operate even more buttery smooth... so as of now my conclusion is 1.2b >> 1.2a !!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks Dude! :D hopefully report back in a few days to see if things have slowed down.
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
I read throught the thread a couple more times and saw that someone did a factory reset in the OS and was able to download and install apps from market successfully. So... I tried it, and it worked for me, too.

I am not running apps2sd.

This was my process (probably doesn't have to be exactly this way):

1. I booted into recovery mode and wiped.

2. While still in recovery mode I flashed 1.2a and rebooted

3. Filled in my info or registration or whatever you call it (this is the part i think might not be necessary, maybe it can be skipped)

4. Restored to factory defaults in "settings" (which boots into recovery and does a wipe, i think it's the same thing as Alt+W)

5. Rebooted and filled in the info, again.

Then I was able to download and install apps successfully.

@Dude:

What does wiping after flashing 1.2a do that allows us to now install apps from market?

Did you find anything looking at the info submitted by King_tee?
[G1 Android Development] King_tee:
Thanks for the info.....were you able to download apps after running

apps2sd 2?
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
for some reason it wont let me extract the files so if i try to flash it it saysno file update.zip found
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
I'm not using apps2sd, sorry.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Don't extract, just rename the whole thing to update.zip
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
nope didnt work. i usually download his builds then extract them to get a folder with the boot.img, data folder and system folder

now it doesnt extract and when i click alt s i get E: cant open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
HAHA. the developer says it "runs stuff and stuff" should we be worried by the abundance of lay terms? or do we deserve the dumb down version. lol.
[G1 Android Development] argylesocks:
at this rate, there will be a 1.2d by the time I get around to flashing :)

sounds like this is a great build! can't wait to try it out.
[G1 Android Development] skiptomylou11:
I'm running 1.2b, and I can definitely feel a speed surge. Applications run faster, switching from tasks and hitting home seems more responsive. Typing used to lag a bit when posting, but it types as I press the buttons. The virtual keyboard is a lot more responsive. I even tested the vibrating keys, which usually use to lag out if I typed fast. But that's been minimized.

The only problem is that I still seem to lag when I get phone calls. I'll get maybe three vibration sequences before it even starts to ring. That happens mostly when I'm online. I didn't wipe, though. So maybe a wipe will fix it.

So yeah, I can definitely notice a difference in speed.

Way off topic: I ran AtrackDog, and it said YouTube Downloader had a new version - version 2.0, but I looked and have no way to find it. Any of you guys know anything about it or how to update? That'd be pretty sweet.
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
WTF?!!! it's so easy to rename the file to update.zip, drop it on the sdcard, boot to recovery, Alt+S. Need it be more complicated?
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
seriously? take it easy. damn. hey jj, make sure you didnt rename it to update.zip.zip. windows doesnot show file exgensions. so, if you rename it in windows, just name it "update" without quotes and without zip because its already a zip in windows, just doesnt show the .zip. and make sure you put it on the root of your sd.
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
do you read or do you just like to *****. I have 1.2a. I just downloaded 1.2b but its not picking it up it says no file update.zip is found when i try to hit alt s
[G1 Android Development] overground:
that's because you have to rename to update.zip Place that file on your sd. Shut down phone. Power up holding home and end (keep holding home and end/power till you get into recovery console). Alt+s, and home+back when it's done.

EDIT: Oh yeah and what stogchris81 said about showing file extensions in Windows.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
And on my side with 1.2b I get Insufficient storage available when I want to install anything.

What to do next?
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
i do that i said when i do that it says no file update.zip exists and i dont know why because its on my sd card

i obviously done this before ive had dude builds since .93
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Once you rename it check properties and look at the name at times on some computers the .zip wont show up and people add the .zip and that makes two .zip.zip which may give problems. I just flashed b and it worked just fine.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Ok, since you know what you're doing, I don't know what's wrong. Worked fine for me. Sorry couldn't be of more help. I would use Linda or Astro to verify that update.zip exists on your sd. If it's named something different, try renaming it there.
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
ok thanks for the help ill keep trying
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
maybe your file is corrupted?

I did notice that when i downloaded 1.2b it is named a little differently than the others: "TheDudesCupcake1.2b.full.zip.signed"

Making the file extension ".signed"
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I was at work when he dropped the 1.2b and i hit him up and he may be busy but apps2SD is that working 100% and which way should i go i know all the different way's just want to be safe i was over testing Hero and came back as soon as seen the latest like to test them all.
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
i finally got it to extract so i cant get the boot img so i can flash thanks
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Apps to sd is working better than ever for me, although I had it set up with unionfs on 1.1 and just flashed over that. Runs fantastic. Fast and smooth. Thank you so much for the theme!

EDIT: How is Hero?
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
I haven't flashed 1.2b yet, but try what I posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=507151&page=386

I had the same problem with 1.2a, as did others when wiping before flashing. Basically, I think it's a wipe AFTER flashing.
[G1 Android Development] iflyabeech:
I flashed 1.2b without wipe from 1.2. Everything working great!
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
No prob on the theme ;) and there will be ports and new ones coming to this build,i'm only one so it takes time and when i drop they will all drop together. Which process did you use just used the app2SD app,also why did you this " unionfs on 1.1" never heard of this. P.m with the steps you took because if your's is faster and better than my way ill do it before when i got to like 100 apps the phone was ultra slow dont want that again.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
can't remember what i did last time- did anyone remove dalvik cache first before flashing this build? How would i go about removing this dalvik cache from sd back to phone- i moved it using Appstosd2.

thx- bit of a noob qn..... maybe i will just reformat ext2....
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Just flashed 1.2b from 1.2a apps and cache on SD. Everything works perfectly as usual. Runs super fast especially setting clock speed to 528..

I'm also running the aero/gloss suite plus theme which flashed perfectly... Nice job Dude!!
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
didnt have to remove dalvik cache from sd first?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
hahahaha

If you want I'll link you to the dalvikvm docs and you can learn about it ;)
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
Touche.

(filler)oh, and a BIG smiley face with wink from me too!

oh, i played with hero and ion today before flashing back eng spl and nandroiding your build back then flashing 1.2b(im out of breath). 1.2b is just as fast unoverclocked as ion. great work dude.
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Just flashed 1.2b from 1.2a. First impression- if it's any faster, it's barely noticeable. I've only had it for an hour or so...more testing required. :)
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
I can confirm that this process also worked for me.

What gives? Dude, can you find out why this happens and fix in for the next release.

Great job on the ROM....As always
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
in my opinion, nothing needs fixed. different phones will react differently. no ones sdcard is the same and everyone has different data. for instance, i updated from a build that had some backwards a2sd commands to the fixed version 2 updates later and it worked fine for me, no wipe.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Once again...not a single log has been submitted to me.

I keep asking but nobody will talk to me when it happens. I haven't seen the problem, and nobody that tests for me has seen this problem.

Get log collector from the market (oh right....)

adb logcat >usernamelogcat.txt and paste on pastebin.com post a link here.

get a copy of

adb shell ls -l /system/sd/

adb shell ls -l /system/intmem/

adb shell ls -l /data/

and put that on pastebin.

I want to help, but my hands are tied without knowing what's going on with you guys.

[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Will the 1.2a googley theme work for 1.2b?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I didn't touch a thing and had apps and dalvik on sd, and just flashed right over the top of 1.1a. Phone runs like a "Dream"
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Sure nothing changed in the theme between 1.2a or b.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
forgive me for the silly question, it took me a couple of days to read thru all this we all cant just hang out at a forum..(:-)) but there is no automated loading of apps2sd is there? I mean I have never initially done any input towards it directly therefore i don't have any dalvik or ext2 caches or anything by default from just loading a new build correct? Anyway, i have just in the last few days gone from dudes 1.1a to 1.2 and now to 1.2b and dint wipe just renamed and alt s into it and haven't had any problems with apps or in market or with phone calls im's or emails. With this build it seems faster when running applications like gps loaded faster camera loaded faster skymap was faster and the navigating seems faster pictures were faster even when changing my desktop. I am not kidding I now have 4 bars as well. I have been luckier than many here it seems with so many issues, i havent had but a couple, and maybe it is due to never installing apps2sd but having peace of mind goes along way...The downside of this back in 1.5 i used to have 71mb free system memory,then in 1.1a it went to 52 then in 1.2 it went to 36 now in 1.2b its at 34 before all of this i had 84 with the stock build.

[G1 Android Development] overground:
Here are a couple of ways:

First and simplest:

1. Flash 1.2b

2. Back up contents of sd card (you will lose everything on it)

3. Get Apps to SD 2 and install it, it's an .apk (either from market or here)

4. Run apps to sd 2 (granting "always allow" superuser permissions)

5. It will then download a partitioning script (so if you get any "force close" or "wait" notifications either wait or do nothing).

6. It will ask for the size of your partitions. (I did 1GB EXT2 and 7GB FAT32)

7. When this is done, it may reboot (don't know cause I've never done it this way)

8. Open Apps to SD 2 Again.

9. Select copy apps to SD. I kept the "delete existing apps" box checked

10. Phone will reboot without warning or prompts

11. Go back to Apps to SD 2 again if you want to move dalvik-cache. I did this also. Does not require reboot.

12. You're done

Second method (what I did):

1. Back up all SD card data

2. Use partitioner of your choice (I used 7tools Partition Manager (windows) - full functioning demo available at download.com)

3. Delete all partitions (make sure you hit "apply" if using 7tools)

4. Set your FAT32 Partition size (make sure set to primary)

5. Hit "apply"

6. Set your EXT2 Partition size (also making sure to set to primary)

7. Hit "apply"

8. Follow steps 8-12 in first method.

Hope this helps you...enjoy
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I couldn't read any of this because the firefox girl distracted me.

Did you try doing an adb shell df to see where you have free space and where you don't?

Also, 71mb??? There are no default partitions with 71mb free...unless you have 0 apps installed or nothing on your /data partition.
[G1 Android Development] buzzdroidx:
well no i never have used adb so i dont know where my data is. i have always just did the flash from my sdcard put there via usb. or crad reader. I barely am comfortable with command line. I assumed it was all going to internal memory. I guess i can load the sdk material and all that and get more familiar with it all.

[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I know ext3 works on my build, but it mounts it as ext2. I need to look at his kernel and see if he adds ext3 support or it just loads ext3 as ext2 like mine does.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
So what are the pros/cons of EXT3? And if the roms are mounting it as EXT2, are any benefits nullified?
