Is it possible to flash via odin and cwm and some gremlins still lurk. I ask because i've flashed 3 roms today and each one seem to have the same issue with missing market app and such. I don't know if it's a app i'm using, but it seems wierd. I went from Gingerbread (where it started) back to froyo and flashed 2 froyo roms with the issue
Try RaverX3X's KC1. Unfortunately, I don't have the link, so look for it on this forum. That should clear up all gremlins you have.
Yeah i tried that the last time. Possibly I should do my flashing straight from that with the required stuff to get root?

im getting the same issue, I've Odin stock kc1 without root then gained root, installed cwm. Then proceeded to install Audiophile Series: Redux. Still has the same issue. I've even odin gb Kg4, KG5, KH1, & KH2. All gave me the same problem. Everything works perfect up until I shutdown my phone and reboot it. Then I get the grey android icon with these apps:
com.amazon.venezla (Amazon Appstore)
com.monotype.android.font.felbridge (felbridge font)
com.quoord.tapatalkxdapre.activity (XDA premium)
com.touchtype.swiftkey (swiftkey)
net.everythingandroid.smspopup (Smspopup)
org.projectvoodoo.controlapp (Voodoo)
& of course my market app does not work either, even when i install the new market it force closes.
I have also not dont ext4 conversion, so that cant be this issue
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
Try flashing the KC1 Cleanup Rom first. That's at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1129933
Then flash KC1 etc.
i figured it out. Thanks!!

What worked for you? I have the same problem -- lost marketplace app and not sure what to do besides reflashing.
Curious that not everyone else is having this problem as I used the "Step by Step on how to flash any Gingerbread rom". Maybe it's occurring when EXT4 is done.
Lol I'm sitting here and reading all the posts and lolling XD.Just reboot onto recovery and go to mounts there normally should be MUUM but when apps are missing there is MMUM (i think i got that right, the unwanted mount should be data ) after you unmount data reboot and voila none of the apps are missing.

Mounts should always be UMMU. You got it the other way around.
You guys should check out my thread.

If you just want a Froyo cleanup only flash the KC1 ROM, if you want the GB cleanup, follow all the steps in the guide.

From my experience over the past couple weeks and through dsextons posts, I believe the issue is that your phone was still partially ext-4 when you flashed.

First I'd like to thank the Bonsai team (Mammon88 and Randy_T) for their work.
This little set of files is totally based on their work, I just modified it a bit.
I asked permission before releasing this, and I've left the GPL notices intact.
All changes can be seen by inspecting the files in the zip.
Thank you Team Bonsai!
:[Disclaimer]:
You assume all risks in using these files. Not me, you!
I will attempt to help if anything goes wrong.
But don't try blaming me for something you chose to do.
:[Description]:
There are two ClockworkMod zips, I'll break it down for each file.
ncDataBackup.zip:
This file simply backs up the /data folder to a gzip file on your SD card (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
The only difference is that it will store the file in a different folder and file name on your SD card.
The file is stored @ /sdcard/data-backup/backup-data.cpio.gz​
ncDataRestore.zip:
This file first deletes everything in the /data folder.
I figured this would be best so there are no conflicts with files that are already in the /data folder.
[NOTE]:: This also means that if the Rom your are using installs anything into the /data folder, it will be lost during the restore!
Then it simply restores the /data folder from the aforementioned backup file (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).​
:[Purpose]:
I made this so I never have to setup a home screen again (or loose mms history, call logs, etc)!
For people who are using Roms that don't already preform a backup and restore of the files in /data.
And as an alternative to a bit for bit nandroid backup / restore of the /data partition.
:[Disadvantages]:
As stated, the restore will delete everything in the /data folder before performing the restore.
So anything put there by the Rom you are installing will be lost!
I wouldn't Expect this to work coming from or going to CyanogenMod, but feel free to test for me.
:[Benefits]:
Restores home screens, mms history, call logs, etc...
Can be used whenever for whatever reason (always good to have more options for backup / restore IMO).
:[Usage]:
Boot into ClockworkMod.
ALWAYS DO A NORMAL NANDROID BACKUP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.
Install the ncDataBackup.zip, it will preform the data backup.
Install your favorite Rom.
Install the ncDataRestore.zip, it will preform the data restore.
Reboot the phone.​
:[Testing]:
This has been tested while running Bonsai v2.0.1.
This has also been tested coming from Bonsai v2.0.1 going to Quantum v2.7.
I only had one FC (gmail) when going to Quantum from Bonsai, and that's because Quantum's gmail wasn't updated.
I simply cleared gmail's data and cache and all was well (then I updated gmail through the market).
[NOTE]:: Both of these Roms are DK28 builds and support EXT4! Your mileage may vary!
:[Feedback]:
Please post your results, good or bad, I'd like to know how well this works for other Roms.
I'm thinking of making a backup/restore zip generator program so this method can be used for other phones.
So if you try this please post your results.
:[Changelog]:
[03-05-2011]
Upgraded files to Bonsai 3.x.
Now uses an included busybox, this should allow support for more Roms/devices(?).
Zip file names have changed.
Also changes have been made to the script output.
Tested on Bonsai 3.x

Thanks for this! I had my phone freak out on boot up during the zipalign process, which pretty much killed my /data directory. I had just installed Bonsai 3 the other night and realized the backup it made was not the normal CWM img backup! With your zip I was able to restore the gzip that bonsai 3 created to my phone.
Perhaps there were other built in ways to do the restore but your zips took care of my problem!
Great work!

Those having problems...
The backup / restore process was altered just a bit with the release of Bonsai 3.0.0.
I mentioned an update to these files yesterday, I'm going to work on that now and get it finished.
I'm not saying that the new changes will fix the problems, but there's a chance.
BBL with the update.

Updated, check OP.
Those who are freezing at the bootscreen, please report back if you test this.
-ps these files clear out davlik-cache, so the 1st boot after a restore will take a while (but should not freeze @ the samsungmobile screen).

I would be curious as well, only thing i can think of is when Bonsai runs it does not wipe data, if you install a rom that wipes data before install it will wipeout .andriodsecure on the sd card.

Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.
Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

Hey guys. I've scoured the web and haven't found anything on this so thought id ask the experts.
When I install a new app from Market, the notification bar shows the "successfully installed Droid DJ Lite" popup for the new app, but also displays "Updating Droid DJ Lite".
Clicking on the "Updating" entry brings up the market page for a totally different app. In this case it pulled up Google Reader.
This happens with every app I install, and clicking "updating..." brings up a random app every time.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this or knows what's causing it.
I'm running kh2 with CRT on/off with drhonks kh4 kernal, and ext4 is enabled.
I recovered my apps via Titanium Backup after flashing, and have run fox permissions via rom manager.
Thanks in advance.

I should clarify that I was only using Rom Manager to fix permissions, and wasn't actually managing any roms with it.
I flashed back to ICBINB and ran back through the whole process of installing KH2 again this morning, and then wiped cache's and data, and it looks to have fixed this issue.
Linda is still whining about space on my SD card, but I've figured that one out before.
Once flashed, is this rom compatible with Infusion Core A kernel? UCKL2 modem? I really like the look of the Rom.

It will flash...but don't expect video (and whatever else it breaks) to work...
It is based off of the latest AT&T leak so it has to have the stock kernel for everything to work.
Yes any Infuse modem will work.
Fonts
Are there any fonts or themes for this rom? I was under the impression it was based on MIUI, and could therefore be customized. the only MIUI element I see is the lockscreen manager. Am i missing something?
Its a work in progress, give it time, Nop seems to have a lot in store for his new Rom!

Odin/heimdall flash a custom kernel. then download the su updater for cwm I think the link is in the open of caty rom or something. reflash the rom (sometimes su gets corrupt and causes all sorts of issues, best to format /system and reinstall the rom for good measure) and flash the su updater immediately after. make sure you do this before a reboot and that voodoo is disabled on your phone. there should be a folder on the root of the SD card named "Voodoo" the V is capital and in that rider should be a text file or folder named "disable-lagfix" if this is not there before you flash the voodoo/cwm enabled kernel and lagfix gets enabled you must disable it and reboot before you flash the rom.
this leak is really secure, you need the custom "insecure" kernel to root it and there seems to be an issue with the build of bionix causing people problems. read the thread but don't get too confused on all the different advice.
also if you can use heimdall I posted a heimdall flashable dump from my phone in the bionic thread. it already has updated superuser and su.

no Voodoo exists but the disable-lagfix file/folder doesn't. it is usually a file but if you create it as a folder it works.
if you have no Voodoo folder you should create it as well as the disable-lagfix to speed up the process and avoid issues. or you can install bionix from my heimdall package. your choice.
I cant tell fron the screenshots....does this rom have the lockscreen that allows you to choose unlock, phone, sms, or camera?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I just installed this rom ontop of the old V2 bionix iv been running for months, figured it was about time I upgraded lol. Iv been playing with it a bit, and am getting used to the new layout. Maybe this is intentional but where did the battery info and pulldown task bar ontop go? Also some things seem to be not fitted to the screen correctly, like my contacts list and the lock screen is cutoff 3/4 way thru the clock on bottom. Ill keep playing with the settings when I wakeup I just wanted to check I didnt miss something or install it wrong, like a lingering file between the 2 versions caused an incompatibility. Other then that its pretty sexy sofar
I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

i don't have a flashable zip unfortunately, but what i've been doing is flashing the zimage thru Odin. if that helps you at all, if you're comfortable with Odin, i've been meaning to upload the tar file for the kernel that i made to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538576
WolfV2 said he would add it to the OP once i uploaded it. other than that, ReActiveDisorder had made a flashable zip, but i see that all his links have been removed.
edit: there's also nxd's tutorial on flashing a kernel with Hemidall here:

Wait hold up, what am I thinking... had a little brain freeze there!. You could just use nxd's build of the Bali Kernel for KJ2:

That also has the keystroke logger removed, AND a patch to improve keyboard responsiveness and efficiency!
