I know it has probably already been said but I couldn't find it.....
I back up in xrecovery weekly, what else should I be doing, wipe battery stats? If so should the battery be charged? Fix permissions? Wipe cache partition? Dalvik cache? Anything else?
Any advice appreciated.
SE X10i 2.3.3 CM7.0.3
When you say backup, is that all you do? Do u just make a backup of current rom? If so you do not need to do anything else like wiping battery stats and dalvik cache.
These things only need doing if you are flashing new roms or occasionally needs doing when manually installing/updating some system apps like for example when I installed new market last week.

Thanks, yea I just back up the current rom.
I too installed the new market, but there is no apparent ill effect.
Should I just leave it alone?

I know the feeling believe me!!!
But sometimes, it doesn't do any good (I learned the hard way).
For example, let's take wiping Dalvik Cache:
Dalvik Cache is the cache area for the program Dalvik.
Dalvik is a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) that is used as base for running your apps (the ones that have the .apk extension).
In order to make access times faster, Dalvik doing an optimization of the running applications, resulting in the Dalvik Cache.
Think of it as similar to the files prefetch in Windows.
So, every time you clean it, you are causing your phone to re-generate it from scratch, thus making it slower for a while and stressing its CPU.
There are of course cases when it needs to be cleaned, but in those cases it's usually pretty obvious (like when you replace a system app and you get FCs).
I hope I helped you a bit!

how many more of these threads are we going to have??!!!
IMHO we should clean up the forum and have one thread for "what rom do you like?"
Anyways.... I really like DarchLegend. Fast, responsive, and saves a bunny's life if you use it! It kills a bunny if you don't.

Honestly, if you're getting that in logcat or ddms then you messed up the install somehow.

I don't see how I could have messed it up. Data wipe, dalvik wipe, and flash-reboot.

i was thinking the same thing. it all depends on you which is the best rom if you are here then it must mean youve rooted your phone so go and experiment but make sure you read the instructions given. Try them all is my opinion. Enjoy!
flash them all...then you decide which ones you'd like to use the most..

Android uses a system similar to Java. Where the code for apps is portable between different platforms. Like phones and computers with entirely different CPUs. It accomplishes that using a virtual machine(computer) called Dalvik. All of Android's apps you use come in a format called Dalvik-Bytecode the VM (virtual machine) can interpret and execute. In order to do this more efficiently, dalvik caches, or saves a copy of the bytecode somewhere for easy access and faster loading of the app for future use. Sometimes when switching roms, the cached version of an app is incompatible with the newly flashed version and causes errors forcing them to close. Wiping the cache can in certain cases correct force close issues.
Hope that helps.

yeah factory/data, I wipe all 3 before flashing a ROM, works everytime my problem is restoring the apps using a backup app (titanium, mybackup pro, etc.) but I think I have figured that out too with the UID mistmatch but don't have the sanity to do it again manually if it doesn't work
problem I was having after I restored the apps, and rebooted FC's out the ass and freezes, didn't matter what ROM, Darch, DC, Flipz, etc.

For 1.5, I've taken quite a liking to Pancake with the theme "Darkstar" installed.
For 2.1, I like DamageControl because it's quite fast and has 2.1 features.
Hi Guys I need some help today my streak stop installing the app from the Market.Today I try to Update two app from the Market looks like the app is downloading but don't install My Streak is using froyo 319 and have Market v.2.3.4. some help guys
Troubleshooting the Android market
Try clearing the cache for the market, and if that does not work clear the data.
Had the same problem (froyo 318) with more recent apps that are bigger then 20MB. Fast forward provided above troubleshooting to "Unmount SD Card". That worked for me.

If you have this problem and are trying to install FROM your SD card (not the market), you can use ADB
adb install [filename thats saved inside your adb directory].apk
problem solved!

It only wipe cache partition. Apps/Games downloaded and installed from market won't be deleted. They're installed in data partition.
btw, you can read abt cache here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache#Disk_cache

Thanks to MyronJ906 for the start of this. FINALLY!! Anyone who's having trouble with My Apps not showing in the Market, here's what did it for me. To get Market to show My Apps, change the following in build prop. (I used prop editor via ROM Toolbox.)
Changed:
Code:
ro.build.id=4.5.133
ro.product.manufacturer=motorola
ro.build.product=olyatt
ro.build.description=olympus-user 2.3.5 4.5.133 111012 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/olyatt/olympus:2.3.5/4.5.133/111012:user/release-keys
to
Code:
ro.build.id=4.5.91
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
ro.build.product=olympus
ro.build.description=olympus-user 2.3.4 4.5.91 110625 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/olyatt/olympus:2.3.4/4.5.91/110625:user/release-keys
ro.buildversion.release=2.3.4
I had this problem when I was using the 2.3.4 BLUR ROMs (retail UK, wet dream, etc). These problems made be rollback (or rollforward depends on how you see it) to CM7 week4 rom.
Will flash a blur ROM to test this and report my results.
Cheers!!
Flashed retail UK ROM (SBF), have the "market problem".
Apply the change to build.prop, no luck.
delete data & cache from market app, no luck.
wipe data & cache, no luck.
Flash Wet Dream 1.3 lite, modify build.prop,
clear market data & cache, restart.
still doesn't work
Cm7 redpill. This did not work. I even had the problem with cm9

I don't have problem on CM7/9 (touch wood). but I have problem with all blur based roms.
In my case, I managed to fix it by
1) Uninstall Preset 1.0 using Titanium Backup
2) Clear Data from Market
I compared the CM7 market database and Blur market database, found com.motorola.contacts.preloaded in the blur version, but not in the CM7 version, and traced it back to the Preset 1.0.
i just download something from the market and all they appear again...
do you mean, without making any change at all?

Will try this but went from Cm7 to CM9 and still the same bullocks.
Edit Cannot find preset 1.0 maybe cause im on C9 but looked at all system files on system files using Tit back
check the market database, see if there is anything likely to caus problem.
preset 1.0 is only in the blur roms.

Weird, I cleared data on market and froze updator as well as cleared its data. Loaded market, as soon as I accepted I hit my apps and my apps populated. I could update and did update an app. I closed the market, reopened, went to my apps and the same old thing happened.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
one of your app is causing this issue. when you wipe data from market, it rebuild market links from apps on your device.
after you wiped the data and check back to the arket, it is still busy building the database, that is why it worked for a short period of time.
look in data\data\com.android.vending\database
the market database is there. if you can find the app causing the issue and remove it, you can get your apps showing again.

just to add, the app might not be what you have downladed, it might be something in the rom.

good to hear that, dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program its similar to windows prefetch. it does not change any app data or phone numbers just optimizes it to run faster the next time u start your phone...:laugh:
