I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!
Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

Looks like the ROM isn't installed well. Please revert back to stock, and install the ROM again. And hey, please download the ROM again. Sometimes even downloads can be bad, not just installs.
Revert back to stock using the Odin 1-Click back to JH7 then attempt to re-flash.
But - I hear some complaints about DG's latest Cognition build so I would poke around there before deciding to re-flash to see if there are still any issues.
Two sources for that fc that I have found:
1 and least likely is a bad flash. Go back to stock with odin and then reflash the rom. You will have to do this anyway so no big deal.
2 the only way i have encountered this bug is from resorting system data with titanium backup. Only restore user apps unless it its the same rom build as it will always cause nasty bugs and fcs
Just my two cents though

Reflash from stock.
That happened to me the first time i flashed my phone on day one. Went to recovery and wiped user data and problem solved
i think its something with the titanium backup cause
it only started saying force close after i restored all apps + data...
anyway thanks everyone

Yea... I've had that happen before - you should be able to safely re-install APPS ONLY - sometimes things get corrupted (especially for me Launcher Pro) when I tried doing a TiBu backup/restore.
I ran the tethered update on my phone and afterwards it started acting weird.
I couldn't send pictures, my contacts wouldn't back up, etc.
First problem, I didn't see the thread that had steps listed to take BEFORE the update. All I did was root it with universal androot and back up everything onto Titanium Backup.
I went to Cricket, they were no help. I did a factory reset, and reloaded everything from Titanium. Everything is fine, except for my text message history isn't showing up.
I looked at their wikipedia page and followed the instructions, but still-nothing.
Are my messages backed up onto my sd card with everything else? How do I retain them? I don't know what I'm doing...
I would say its not really a issue. Start new conversations.

Hey, so yesterday I flashed AOKP on my Droid 4 (my first time flashing..)
I created a backup and everything. Well my phone dosent connect to data while on AOKP (bug?)
So when I to toggle the safe system it didnt work. So I decided to quick toggle and reboot my phone. It just keeps on giving me "droid" the eye then restarts. So I got it to reboot again back into recovery to restore the nandroid. But there was a MD5 mismatch.
Im at school so I dont access to anything. (I cant toggle back to safe system either now, it gives me a error while restoring /data.)
So what can I do?? -panic mode-
Luckily this site wasen't blocked..

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago and got an error when trying to restore my nandroid backup to my non-safe system. I went in to advance restore and restored the system, data, and cache separately and that worked for some reason when the regular restore did not.
If you can't get to safestrap menu the best you will be able todo is fastboot to .219 or .215.

I tried doing the advanced restore, but when I tried restore system (I havent tried the other two yet) it gives me a MD5 mismatch error. (tried before and after I posted this thread)
and I don't know how to fastboot...kinda what my phone to be fixed before I go home. My mom will kill me.
First of all, when you say toggling didn't work, what exactly do you mean (what error message did you get)
Second of all, do not quick toggle.
Third, what mode is the phone in now? Try toggling to Safe Mode and rebooting.
Also, what mode were you in when you made the backup? You cannot restore safe-mode backups to the non-safe partition and vice-versa.
Also, you can get AOKP to connect to data by cycling between GSM/CDMA. Yes it is bug.
I was in the Safe System and when I tried to toggle into the Non-safe system it gave me an error when it was trying to restore. I think it was the same "Error while restoring /data" as I got after but I can't be sure.
yeah I know..I just wanted to get back. But good to know Ill be able to conenct to data if I get back to it.
Im in the Non-Safe system right now but I can't toggle back due to the "Error while restoring /data" error.
I did the backup in the non-safe and tried restoring in the non-safe.
I really hope that quick toggle didnt mess me up completly.

You could try doing a factory reset of your non-safe system. Not sure if that would work or not but might be worth a shot. Your could also try booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. If you go that route and it works you will have to re-root your phone and you may lose some things.
Ok, so I didn't know there was a factory reset option on the safeboot..lol. I didn't select it but when I turned on my phone a black screen with white text popped up, so i shut it down and on again and it booted up to the set up process. Then a while after I tried toggling the safe system again but it gave me the error again. I also tried doing a nandroid but it gave me a error about the /systemrig?
Then I decided to just boot it up normally and it gave me the set up process again. :/

Glad to hear you at least have a working system again. When my safestrap pooped out on me I had to boot into stock, uninstall safestrap recovery, manually delete the safestrap folder on the sd card, then reinstall safestrap recovery. That finally fixed it for me. I have a suspicion it might have been a low amount of storage space that caused my initial problem with safestrap not wanting to toggle between safe and non-safe but I haven't confirmed that.

Yeah so am I.
Ok so from what I understand I should set up my phone again and unistall safestrap, go into the file manager, delete the safestrap folder and reinstall safestrap and I should be good to good to go with toggling and have it not boot up to set up everytime I turn it on? Then to get back to AOKP I just redo the data wiping and flashing. Sweet.
Yeah that might be it, I've been getting a "Low volume space on SD" error for a while. I didn't know what was causing it to be so full.
If your getting a low disk space message you might want to see if you can find some things to delete or move to an external sd card. I use DiskUsage. It gives you a nice graphical representation of what is eating up your space.

Ok I used it and got some stuff off. Seems like some of the biggest takers were some game data like Temple Run and Spirit HD. heh.
Anyways I did what you said about safestrap, after I finished restoring the rest of my apps..took forever. I reinstalled safestrap and booted into recovery. When I tried toggling it still gave me the "error while restoring /data". Then when I booted up normally I went back to the set up process. Why

That's odd. You deleted the safestrap folder in /sdcard right? Not /sd-ext? If you deleted that then there shouldn't be any data to restore. It should be like you are setting up your safe system for the first time. Assuming that you:
1. Opened the safestrap app and uninstalled recovery.
2. Used a file explorer to delete the safestrap folder in /sdcard.
3. Then opened the safestrap app and reinstalled recovery.
That is what I did and it worked for me. If that doesn't work then I am at a loss. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how safestrap works can chime in.
I think thats what I did wrong. I unistalled the Safestap app but not the recovery and didn't know there was a safestrap file in the internal storage.
Ok so far I think I got Stock and AOKP running along pretty nicely. Thanks for the help everyone!
Also, how would I go about updating to a new nightly or another ICS based ROM?
I hope Data connection (3g/4g and wifi) get fixed up. I also been noticing like plugged in a computer AOKP will charge slower than usual. But decharging and battery life seems alright.

Glad you got everything worked out! You should see a link to the nightly builds in the OP of the CM9 and AOKP dev threads. If you are flashing a nightly build of the same ROM you should be able to flash it in safestrap recovery over top over your old build. You should always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new build. If switching to a different ROM that you should wipe data/factory reset as well.
I doubt that the data connection issues are going to get worked out until we see ICS ROMs based on the ICS leaks. But to use those you will need to be on the ICS leak on stock. Personally I am waiting until the official ICS OTA comes out. Not willing to take the (small) chance of getting knocked off the official upgrade path. If the data issues have got you down I suggest trying out the Eclipse ROM. That's what I am running. Yes, it is "only" GB based, but it is very smooth and has no data issues.
I had the same issue
When mine kept resetting, I couldn't get it to even go to safestrap mode. I had it replaced because of endless searching let to nothing.

When mine did it, i just threw it in my backpack (to stop the "Droid" I was in the library haha. and got it out later and managed it some how. sorry that you had to replace it.
Hey when should data (As far as I know texting works b.c I keep getting one from 6250. But when should Pandora, Youtube, Netflix work, or will the codecs never work? I might switch to the eclipse rom, but i just love the ics improvements.

Probably not going to see a totally working ICS ROM based off the GB kernel. I don't think hashcode is really even working on them anymore. He's more focused on getting a ROM up and running based off the ICS kernel in the leaked updates. Once the ICS OTA drops we should see some really nice ICS ROMs I think. Or you can jump on the leaks. Personally, I'm riding it out on Eclipse until the official OTA drops. Too many hoops to jump through when messing with the leaks IMO.

So is esclipse just GB with ics look? Or does it actually have the improvements and ics apks will work on it? I think I can ride with just ics look and feel till the OTA. I cant even get to the nightlies on droidhive.
Where can I find the esclipse rom? Thanks again

Yes, Eclipse is GB with some elements changed or added to give it a more ICS look. Any app specifically made for ICS won't work but I can't really think of anything like that other than Chrome browser. Most apps are still made with GB in mind because that is what most android phones are still running. You can find the Eclipse ROM thread in the dev section.
