I was feeling the same way about my market app. But, after going to titanium backup ang clicking "integrate system apps into rom" and selecting market it seems much faster. I'm still a noob and not sure if this is was caused the speed increase. But after doing this navigating the new market is not as bad.
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
It functions fine for me, but the design is a major fail imo.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
The market isn't running any slower than the previous ones have for me. I've noticed bugs that were fixed from prior versions and I'm really digging the expandable / collapsible sections. This is real progress IMO. However, I'm also running Axura + Voodoo. It also occured to me that anyone that wanted to try their hand at making a better market (ala AppBrain) could. Then we could all criticize your work while not offering up anything constructive too. :D
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Don't get me wrong here guys, i know that some of you hates the new update. I am experiencing some slow loading too, but i can live with that because i know that Google is doing something to make Android better. a lot if updates are coming out and that's a good news. yeah they made a bad move but at least they tried to give us something new, it just need more polishing and it's better than nothing.

Oh if only Google handles the Galaxy phones.
[Vibrant General] ikevinnyii:
can someone tell me the default setting for "content filtering" if you go to menus and settings, its Mature, Teen, Preteen, and All. I messed around with it and dont know what the default settings supposed to be. thx in advance
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Just put it on All. That wayit won't filter out anything...

I'm pretty sure that's the default setting.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
so then because it doesn't work well for you it must be broken for everyone. right?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
So then because it works for you then everyone else must be doing something wrong, right?

See what I did there. In any case, you obviously missed the point (right over your head).

The TMRepository is a set of things that the Linux and F/OSS community uses as excuses to justify mediocrity and bash other companies (namely Apple and Microsoft) and promote their "Open Systems."

WorksForMe™ came about because Linux geeks were always faced with users who simply couldn't get things to "just work" (cause Linux doesn't really "just work," you know) and the best defense they could fathom was... "It works fine for me, maybe you did something wrong."

Now... Look at the post I quoted, and put it into perspective. Going on, you can see that this has been the issue with all of the major issues this phone has been faced with... Examples:

1. GPS: "My GPS works fine (ie. WorksForMe™). Maybe you have a defective phone. You should try the GPS Fix. Try changing these settings."

2. Hardware Lock: "Just do this and that and this and that and you will magically go into Download or Recovery Mode" (Trust me, I had two... Nothing in any of the useless threads here works on a Hardware Locks Vibrant... Thankfully they don't seem to be shipping many of those, and the JI6 and later updates seem to have fixed it on most devices).

3. Lag: a. "My phone never lagged." b. "L2LagFix" c. "Install Custom Rom <x>! WorkForMe™ XD"

4. FroYo: "Who needs an official FroYo update. Just install Eugene/Master/etc.'s ROM. WorksForMe™ !!!!!!"

And yes, it's getting old. It's also sad that an entire community of customers/consumers are willing to accept mediocrity just because ItGetsFixedFasterBecauseItsOpenSource™ thanks to the "Developers" (modders and themers are developers now, so I have to put that in quotes since it sort of degrades what I do for a living) while you ShiftTheBlame™ to the person bringing these issues up (they don't wanna root/mod, so it's their own fault that their phone sucks compared to some competing device).

Hope that helped you comprehend the use of that term. Ciao!!!

P.S. I like how you tried to flip the script on me, though. Nice fail there, bud. You clearly haven't discovered the internet until recently... I suggest you read the Unix Hater's Handbook (Link: http://simson.net/ref/ugh.pdf ). It's old now, but many of the behaviors and flaws descibed there still apply today to the UNIX/Linux and even Android community (right down to the crappy interface and others thinking normal users should be developers on their computers/devices to get them to work correctly).
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
yes, yes it is. just like your tired, overused internet memes....

so... did you have a point?
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
He had an excellent point, but as stated earlier I believe it has gone over your head.

The new market takes roughly 5x PLUS the time to load as the older market. I do like the look of it, but between looks and performance I'll take performance any day. Oh, and that is with Voodoo enabled... so... yea... And why is the update button so close to the uninstall button? Wonder where that decision came from. I suppose I'll keep it, but saying "it works" does not mean it works better than the previous one, which is the point the OP is trying to make. Sure it might download apps "faster" but by the time you have it loaded I've already updated two apps on the old market.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
evidently you missed my first post in this thread:

after which he tried to tell me that it doesn't perform the same or better on my phone. perhaps it doesn't for him on his phone (or for you on your phone), however, with my phone it loads about the same as the previous but downloads don't take as long to start, effectively making it less laggy. but i guess you guys know my experience with the new market better than i do....

maybe i'm wrong here, but this:

seems to me that this thread is inviting other peoples' experience with the new market. which i did, only to have someone tell me my experience is wrong. like i'm lying about the market.

oh wait, that's it, i must be part of a big google/samsung conspiracy to try and convince everyone that everything with the vibrant is flawless....
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
I'm with funeralthirst -- I like it, overall. Now, it was sorta slow the first day, and for the first few installs. Some background optimization or something, first time setup? Don't know. I do know that since then it's been pretty snappy to launch - no worst than before. No network errors, which is a huge improvement. And downloads just start, finish, and install. No hanging, waiting forever for an app to decide to go. Its better for me. Sorry if it isn't the same for you.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
It also works better than the old market for me. Why is it outside the realm of possibility to believe that everyone isn't having the same problems as you?

Being that you are a developer (regardless of what you feel the others here do, they do it for free, and if you are such a skilled dev, wheres your earth shattering contribution to the community?) you surely have heard of scientific method? With all the roms, silent hardware updates, lagfixes, and kernels out there, there's a lot of variables. And with the propensity for bad things to happen if you mix those variables improperly, are you seriously going to say that everyone is going to have the same experience? Cause if you aren't, what's your point? No one said anyone did anything wrong, just that, with just about EVERYTHING here, your mileage may vary...

If I was trying to justify my purchase of this phone, I would tell you that my GPS works wonderfully! (which it doesn't)

However, my phone was hardware locked, and a flashable fix from one of those "useless" threads WorkedForMe™.

Never needed a lagfix, but maybe that just cause I don't pop wood over quadrant scores?

So maybe we aren't all trying to make excuses for Android. Maybe were just offering our opinions of our experience with the new market, you know, like he asked.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Why is it outside the realm of possibility to believe that others may be having issues that you don't.

Or are you new to the Vibrant forum.

WorksForMe™ has been the redundant answer for every issue with this device, or the software on it.

This market update is crap. You can think what you want, and you can believe what you want.
[Vibrant General] junglizste:
Works fine for me but looks like a 10 year old flash site on geocities.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I never once said no one else had the issue, so what are you talking about? I'll believe what I want, and I believe that my Market is working perfectly fine, and some people's aren't. Simple as that really. Pretty sad if you think there's never any gray areas.

Everyone cease progress! Everything is unfixable (even everything devs on pretty much every android device have fixed)! Variables are an alien concept to us, and don't exist in the world of Android! Every device and user is apparently exactly the same, and as such, any divergence from majority events is blasphemous! From now on we will add trademarks to the words of the heretics, cause then they'll know we mean business...
[Vibrant General] mauiblue:
I've been experiencing more FCs and slower downloads but I can live with it. I know the Market is still evolving so issues are expected.

Happy holidays to all.
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
Let's not argue about who killed who...

Sorry, Monty Python moment.

Anyway, this kind of arguing is endemic on this forum and completely unnecessary. People have different experiences because each of us has our phone set up in a slightly different way. That's the beauty of Android. And that's not even counting the (sometimes annoying) hardware variations.

Add in aesthetic tastes and you've got an almost infinite variety of opinions, which we're all entitled to. So agree to disagree about the new Market and let's get on with playing with our awesome phones.
[Vibrant General] mikaeldalc:
Wow you people complain about the smallest things in life lol.. ur online complaining about a market lol.... it works perfect on my (vibrant [nero]). Quit wasting time and post something useful
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i never said other people aren't having problems or that i don't believe they are having problems so i don't know where you are getting that...

i will, however, say that we are all using the same hardware (at least that's to be assumed for people using the tmob vibrant, though there may be small variations) and i'm running the same rom as the op except they are using oclf. i've used the new market (2.2.6 and 2.2.7) with nero beta 2 and 3 and v1 with stock, super io, and dow14bln kernels all with no problem. so maybe it's the lagfix, maybe nero v1 isn't playing nice with his phone and a reflash/fix permissions/wipe dalvik will fix/help it, or the downloaded markets are different than the ota (i downloaded mine off xda), i don't know. but with all the configurations i've run i have not experienced performance worse than the previous market.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgk:
Will I be able to restore my mt4g to original factory 2.2.1 rom and unroot it if i root it and install custom rom like iced glacier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
If you do a Nandroid backup.

As a side note:disclaimer:

My advice (without trying to hurt anyone's feelings too much) is DON'T ROOT. I would suggest you familiarize yourself with everything (Linux, ADB, XDA) before diving in head first.

Despite popular belief, having root does NOT in fact make you cooler.

Way too many new users are trying to root because they think it's cool or heard it's cool. You need to learn your device first. If you don't know how to perform a Nandroid backup, or restore a previous ROM backup, flash updates, install custom ROM's etc, then you should NOT root. You should browse the forums here, read everything until you know it well, then ask questions. After you've exhausted all of these you might consider rooting and starting to tinker with your device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slhpss:
simple answer is yes, but it's complicated... it's more complicated then just a nandroid... nandroid can get you back to stock rom, but then you will have to unroot. there are guides though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stopi666:
Hi all,

This is my 1st Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) its 5 days old and seems to have a problem.

When I surf the net through my wifi connection at home after 10>20 mins of use its freezes, vibrates then crashes back to my home screen. Once at home screen it then vibrates 3 more times.

Its not rooted or running any additional software.

I've reset it 3 times to see if this helps but it doesnt.

Today I phoned Samsung support (uk) and they said it sounds like a software issue and they asked me to takes it to car phone warehouse so they could check it over.

I dropped into cpw house and explained my problems and they said they would re flash the firmware. 1 hour later I picked the phone up and went back home.

When i got home I checked the phone over to discover they had down graded it from 2.2 to 2.1.

I surfed the net for abit over my wifi connection and didnt seem to have any issues but the gremlins got the better of me and I decided to upgrade the firmware through Kies to version 2.2.

The way I see it I purchased 2.2 Froyo not 2.1 Eclair.

Since updating to 2.2 I'm back to having issues with wifi where it freezes, vibrates then crashes to home screen and vibrates 3 more times.

Please can someone help because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software.

Thx in advance !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiadz:
hi

you need to understand one thing

The Phone is on carers software, and by that it is meant to do whatever

carer decided it to do....

Without Rooting your phone ( what is breaching of your warranty)

De branding it ( in most of the cases)

And Un locking it.

there is not much you can do other than referring to the Carphone warehouse once again, for a WORKING software for your phone.

You can see witch Froyo Base/Breed you have in system informations

and then look for the answers for that specific Base/ Breed

But if you decide to Root your phone then tutorials for that are hire just google for it, its really easy, if you know what are you doing ;)

best luck

xiadz
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stopi666:
Thx for your reply xiadz.

Please let me extend..

The phone does not and wasn't purchased from the car phone ware house.

I purchased it from a local add. It was an upgrade and the previous owner was happy with his Iphone so I decided to purchase it from him (unopened and in the box) It is unlocked to any carrier and I have tried 3 different simm cards in it so it doesnt require unlocking.

Ive looked into the rooting and lag fixes but this didnt fix my problem.

I appreciate your help thou
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
I've tried the restore feature with Titanium back up and its a bit tiresome to click every application, by any chance theres a 1 click restore that is offered by some other applications? I dont mind paying for the app..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jersr:
You can backup + restore in batch? At least with the full version.. I think its possible with free version as well..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cantIntoCode:
Doubt it, the install screen when installing apps is kind of like a safety feature, so you know what's getting installed on your phone. I don't think there is an alternative to this at the moment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ickyboo:
Just buy titanium backup full, it gets rid of the single install. Thats point of full version

EarlZ - I have titanium backup PRO. Like what he said in the post before mine, PRO does have the feature you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMACEVO427:
I have an evo and rooted it correctly.. I used Rom manager to download CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and Installed onto my phone. It works, but I cannot open apps like market, browser, sms, etc. without the a notification popping up saying CONSTANTLY and I mean all the time.. like every 15 seconds saying "Android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

what do I do to fix this? I made a nandroid back up so I can flash back, but I'd rather not if I can eliminate this problem...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kotches:
Did you install the g-apps zip? If yes, did you install the right type (hdpi)?

Those are two things that come to mind for me.

Swyped on my PC36100 using tapatalk!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LearnIIBurn:
You should flash AmonRA recovery from Rom Manager (Clockwork is nice, but rumors of bad wiping habits exsist)

Download the actual zip of CM6.1.1 and Gapps

Put them on the root of your SD card

Boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik (twice if you want to be sure)

Flash from zip - CyanogenMod 6.1.1

Flash from zip - gapps

Wipe cache and dalvik again. Reboot

(unless you don't want to lose any of your data, thats the way to flash clean and fresh) I use MyBackup Pro (worth the 5$) to backup all my SMS and MMS etc. Never had a problem with it ever. Love it over Titanium Backup

hi,

i was wondering if it was possible to browse an ext3/4 partition the same way as a normal partition, either through an app or through windows?

thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brpqzme:
yeh, i know linux would do it, but was wondering if there was an android/win solution (much less hassle!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghisy:
You could always run a Linux livecd at boot: you won't have to install anything on your comp and you'll be able to browse the ext3/ext4 partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
I use Ubuntu on a USB drive. Windows, as far as I know cannot even read the EXT3 partition, it has no idea it is there. Your best bet is to just download and set up Ubuntu on a pen drive and keep it to one side just for using G Partition on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
At least the apps and dalvik cache (which is everything that uses ext as far as i know) can be found on /system/sd, either with root explorer or with a terminal emulator.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brpqzme:
ok, thanks guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
You can browse from your android if your file manager has root privileges, look in /sd-ext/ or /system/SD/

From windows there are tons of programs that can browse ext filesystems, try Google, last time I tried one it couldn't mount the sdcard ext partition but worked fine with my ext hdd partition so you may have too look around for one that works with sdcards.

EDIT: LOL. I was to slow for a placeholder. NVM i dont think i need it anyway... it's not a tutorial or something .....
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
hehe, sorry ;)

what is the benefits of data2btrfs?
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Check the thread. In short btrfs is a copy on write filesystem. And overwriting is the slowest operation for a microSD. Btrfs has some options to optimize the ssd devices. Especially slow cards profit from it (for good cards it may be worse). Apart from that it doesn't need journaling to be safe because of COW. This decreases the overhead on writes.

Overall data2sd feels smoother on btrfs than on ext4 (at least for a class 2 microSD). Check the thread for more info and note that BTRFS is a BETA FILESYSTEM.
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I just gave you another post directly below your original one ;) All you have to do is edit it and use it.
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:

[Desire Android Development] animehq:
Please make the same with the desireZ rom
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Coutts99 recommended it and after i looked at it found it rather easy to check the structure. Not much symlinks etc. Very clean and AFAIK the ROM that is closest to stock. Still needed to adjust many things (zipalign etc).

Thx for that :D

Atm i first focus on btrfs and this rom. I also need to get familiar with cooking first. Maybe in the future, but don't wait for it. Sorry :(
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
We will wait for pays next release.

With btrfs

but good work by melethron.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
If this btrfs works good, then of course i will release such version ;) dont worry hehe

@melethron

Congrats on the rom btw ;)
[Desire Android Development] gn123099:
WHAT software can i make a data2btrfs in my sd card???
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
The best way if you are not already on a linux based system, is to grab a livecd and use gparted. Normally I would recommend Ubuntu, but Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD got problems with btrfs + gparted. So you could try fedora or opensuse e.g.

Of course you can also use the gparted live cd or usb version.

I never tried them, but should be the same:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

With gparted format your sd card to FAT32 (first partion) and then 1024MB to btrfs (second partition).

Copy the ROM to your FAT32 partition and flash it through the recovery. I recommend AmonRAs latest recovery!

Don't forget to wipe before you flash! Don't worry if you get error messages when trying wiping the sd-ext, just ignore that.

Regards :cool:
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
I flashed the rom in btrfs mode. Installation without problems.

Its nice to see so much space on the phone. :)

The only thing is that the device really seems slower now.

Of course this is not your fault, you give us a great solution for more storage, but you can feel the difference.

I will let the phone do some caching and will use it a hole day tomorrow. (Navigation included). Lets see maybe things will settle down a little.

Maybe it could be improved with a optimized kernel.

I got a class 6 sd card by the way. :)
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Pays, i normally use either UltimateLinux build for the meerkat or plain lynx. Are any of these distros have issue with btrfs too ?

Thanks

BL
[Desire Android Development] th3:
I'll be testing this as soon as I can as I'm skeptical of Btrfs. Only way to check and test the actual Btrfs usability and performance with our device and ROMs is to use it with one. I'll try it with a class 2 SD first, then class 4 and 6 that I own. Thanks.

EDIT: Yeah, your "my data2btrfs" link talks about "advantages" where no. 1/2/4 are all speculation yet. There's no studies or widespread reliable, repeatable, and conclusive testing showing either. Basically, this is experimental.

EDIT2: Sorry can't help further. I bricked my device. Carry on.
