I updated from RC33 to 1.51 everything craches

hi,
i have just used jf updater to update to 1.51 (both the radio and the rom) the update process went smooth with no errors....
however after the restart many applications crash and force close including core applications such as acore, gmail, gm, ... etc
the phone does not seem to be stable anymore, it does not sync often.
any help?

had the same problem today... i just reformatted, re-rooted, and reflashed everything. all solutions ended no where. so hopefully someone has a better solution here.

just try a backup then wipe and see if it fixes it

same here, i also did apps2sd at the same time, and i thought apps2sd was the reason for the **** up, so i just wiped and now apps are running from my phone and everyhthing seems to work normally. i'm still not sure what caused it...

going through the whole rooting and apps2sd process all over again????

same here crash, crash, crash.. lol apps to sd 1.51 doing a wipe now ugh

If it helps anyone here, I recently upgraded fine from RC33 to 1.51 HOWEVER I did NOT use app2sd program. I did mine originally using Lucids script method. Which on RC33 was a script that would copy the data and then the cache over to the SD. Then after I upgraded to 1.51 everything worked fine and normal, no hassle.
So my suggestion is this, have EVERYTHING run off the phones memory, Then use lucids script, a alternate way to apps on sd. Then see if everything works fine after you moved it over, also turn on usb debugging, fixed my apps that needed root access.

im also having the same problem after updating to jf 1.5.1 can anyone confirm if they are still having probs after wiping and using apps to sd? did using lucids script instead work? i just dont wanna go through the hassle of wiping and not know which one to use so my apps can stop randomly force closing.

It seems that you all are upgrading from an old version of a2sd to a newer better version of a2sd, many apps don't work correctly unless they are reinstalled when you changed builds due to them not being registered correctly
I would reccomend backing up your apps and then wiping your system/sd folder before you flash to a major upgraded build.
wipe then update then wipe again.
Then boot into your new updated build. Install a few apps then use you prefered a2sd method and verify with the a2sp apk located in the development section that everything worked right.
If the a2sd apk says that tou need to prepare your card for a2sd, you may noy done it right. However if you use lucidrems method, itmay not be compatable.
Check the system/app folder and see what's in it Same with data/app. If the few programs you installed are not there then yay your a2sd is working check system/sd/app to verify.
Ill help out when I can, pm me or ask your questions here. Ill be monitoring this thread.
Good luck

I wiped my phone and installed everything again...everthing was fine until I rebooted my phone and upon start up toggle settings force closed and open home aswell. Same problem I had before....so far nothing else has attempted to force close but I'm guessing I didn't solve the problem and await for it to start crashing like it did before. Sorry I'm still new at this stuff so bare with me...

Toggle settings WILL crash, You need to uninstall that one and redownload the "Cupcake" version of it. That will fix that one.
Now that your 1.51 You need apps that work with cupcake. =)

I do have. The cupcake version....all my apps rondomly just keep crashing....I either hit wait or just force close it

I have also been experiencing force closing issues. The weird part is that I dont have the apps to sd installed on my phone. My phone lags sooo much now, especially in the market and even worse in the browser. Sometimes I wait up to 50 seconds before the browser starts up. Everything is just blank for the time. I get force closes randomly for maps, IM, browser and cupcake toggle settings before I uninstalled. Also, when I exit anything with my home button, it goes to my homescreen but takes a good 10-15 seconds to load my apps on the screen. It just freezes.
Since I've had the phone, Ive already wiped 5 or 6 times. I am so over wiping and reinstalling all my apps and putting everything where I like it. Anyone have any ideas? Please???

AH! That issue I know about, I just recently upgraded from my 2 GB Kingston to a 4GB Sandisk. The Sandisk seems to be a faster card. I know the kingston was a slower one, which lagged behind giving me ALOT of the wait/force close ones. This was due to the speed of the memory card kinda choking out I would say. I always hit wait which did the trick. But when I had alot going on, lag sucked. I dont get it very often now, which says the SD is faster. But this might be the cause of your issues too?

Is anyone else having this issue? I'm going crazy with all of the crashing and waiting. Sorry to be impatient.

Like I said, I did till I changed out my SD card.

I forgot to mention that I have a 8gb 6 class already in place.

I also have an 8gig class 6 card so that can't be it.

so, iam still having force close issues on many applications. also it seems that the phone is very slow now.
any thoughts?

The verdict - XWJG5 vs XWJM2?

This is a thread that could become irrelevant at any time with the release of a new firmware, but..
In people's experience, which if these firmwares is faster, more stable, and less laggy?
I have a Galaxy that I upgraded to JM2, but I'm not playing around with it much as it's a present for somebody - I just wanted to have it up to date when I give it to them.
So I haven't seen the difference in daily usage. Any thoughts?
On just playing around on the home scree, adding and removing widgets, they both seem pretty fast.
Thanks guys

I've not really benchmarked the different roms to be honest, but I have JM2 and have noticed that the phone lags a little when opening, closing and working within various apps.
3Banana notes is quick for me, whereas Seesmic lags when I hit 'compose' for a new tweet. The default media player is pretty snappy opening, as is the market, but other apps are slow...
Not sure whether it's a phone thing, a rom thing or an app thing.

i flashed from JF3 stock to JM2 and notice its a little quicker in day to day activitys but i still get the app lag when opening certain apps like mentioned above.

I think no firmware so far in entirely lag-free! You DO need the sdcard fix!

I don't apply any of the firmware updates, but just SD card fix. Rarely notice big lagging now.

For me, JM2 gives me the best performance. I'll give it a day or 2 to see if I even need the sd card fix.

I ran the Quadrant Standard bench on JM1 and JM2. While the JM1 got a 940 result the JM2 gets only 880 points, and it sims a little slower than the JM1. Even the accelerometer turns the image after a longer period. Both have a very good memory management, sometimes I get 270 MB free out of 326MB, and it stays in the range without the need of a reset after a long period of use.

I have heard the card fix really works...but the process seems very complicated to me. Perhaps I'm just a numbskull, but I dont understand how to do it...
...I dont want to do stuff that will brick the phone, unless I really know what I'm doing?

I think you have the memory bit wrong - it's showing 270MB USED out of 326MB (at least for me... I've never seen it dip below the 200s.

I just upgraded from XWJG5 to XWJM2. Good thing I ran Titanium Backup first! I didn't realize the flash would wipe all of my data. So far so good.

If you use a kill application the best I have seen so far is around 93MB free as Task Manager restarts by default.
The built in kill application on JM2 only kills battery hog applications which are running not the run of the mill applications running in the background.

Yes, I did notice the native Task Manager.
I have noticed with this firmware that the MarketEnabler is not working. I can't download some of my paid apps.

Use Eris Market fix from the market
Sent using Samsung Galaxy S

I wish it were so easy. I have never had success with Eris. I have had success with MarketEnabler, but the latest version may need an update to work with the latest firmware. Very frustrating though. Fortunately for me before I did the firmware upgrade I used Titanium Backup. Had I not I would have no Slingplayer or other paid apps on the SGS right now.
Back to Eris, I installed it last night well before midnight, cleared the cache, did the reboot and waited until this morning it being a new day, and still no luck.

Hi All,
So I updated from JG5 to XM1 then XM2. Moving from JG5 to XM1 was very laggy and seemed that XM1 might have been on the Alpha release level, it was good but too buggy.
I then upgraded to XM2 from XM1 and found significant improvements. Then I started to notice things that would normally work would not. The GPS didn't work, the market didn't work, titanium back up, kept getting interrupted during restore even when using after a clean reboot. Browsing through the phone was generally slower and menus would take a while to load.
XM2 seems great on first boot, but after you start loading some of your apps in and customize it to work the way you want it to, then you have problems.
I went back to JG5 as it is far more stable and reliable. I might wait till Froyo before I flash again, i've probably done 12 different flashes in the past 2 weeks.
Let me know if anyone has had better luck with XM2.

on my part.. i can say that JG5 is still the fastest and operates more stable than JM2 at stock settings no rooting done.
installed samset 1.6 and seemed to get abit slower in opening applications..
..will go back to JG5 for now.. hehehe
|| disclaimer: other users may experience differently. ^_^ ||

Im wondering why the phone is reporting more than 256MB usable since the current kernel version only allows upto 256MB

I found JG5 more stable whereas I have encountered few issues with JM2, market behaves strangly installed apps not showing status installed. More bugs in JM2, more lagging and apps taking longer to load like sky news i think I will go back to JG5.

JG5 is an official firmware? I mean App market will work without Eris Fix ?
Thanks !

Is JG5 an official firmware on which App Market is working without Eris fix ?
Thanks !

[Q] Google maps - touchscreen freezes / slow response

I have been trying out almost all the android builds available for the hd2 and I have not been able to use google maps satisfactorily in any of them.
When I open google maps I get a few seconds delay before it starts up and then it is smooth for a while as long as you dont move the map around. But once you try to scroll over on the map using the screen it stops responding for around 10 - 20 seconds ... then it starts over again. Apart from this problem there is nothing wrong with android on my hd2. I do get the SODs once a while but they are hardly a problem. I tried searching these forums for a solution but no one else seems to have reported anything similar.
I have tried formatting my sd card using all possible file allocation sizes. I use the stock tmobile 16gb sdcard. I have not had the opportunity to try out a different card but will get one soon. And I have tried different roms as well. Ozdroid, ChuckyDroid, and the standard ones too.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Never had this issue on any of the builds... you need to make sure your data connection is perfect .... if it isnt you will definitely get lags , not only in maps

Slow market downloading?

Hello. I've been getting really slow market downloading as of late even with wifi on it crawls. Can take up to two minutes to download 1mb. It use to be way faster than this a while back sadly this had been going on for a while. I also have a rooted Nook Color and it downloads 7mb apps in 15 seconds. Any suggestions to fix my market download speed on my Evo?

Found a fix. It may have been I had market updater on freeze using titanium backup trying to keep black market on Myn's warm Rom. Well it didn't stay black anyway so I guess I just forgot about it. I defrost it and everything seems to be working now after market updated in the background. Also made my 3g faster than ever by using ad free and switch my custom ip to 0.0.0.0.
Thanks everyone who atleast looked be sure to make your 3g speeds faster with that tip if you haven't.

i have had similar issue. sometimes market downloads slow, sometimes it doesnt. and sometimes when i copy files to phone from pc it takes forever, sometimes it doesnt. just depends on how the phone wants to act i guess lol

[Q] CM7 off sd card wifi issue.

So I just did this tonight on my NC. I got cm7, the marketplace, and the overclocking installed on the sd card. Everything seems to work, except the wifi connection to my d-link DIR-615 router is awful. Downloading apps is essentially impossible. First off, the notifaction bar now says somethink like "Downloading Dolphin Browser and 28 other apps"; I clearly did not try to download 28 apps at once, and in the market app it only lists the 4 I actually want to download (The 28 apps are obviously a mistake). Second, even if its a single app downloading it gets stuck at "Starting download...".
Also, just using the stock browser is painfully slow compared to the stock NC browser.
Looking around the internet, there appear to be some issues with NC's running cm7 with dlink routers; I have only found a fix for instances where cm7 is running off the internal memory.
Any thoughts at all? I'd really like to be able to get on the internet with this thing...
Is it possible to just "reinstall" the gapps stuff on top of what is currently there?

Mines hella slow too, it was ok for a week or so and now it's pretty much useless if I want to use the internet on it.
