I read somewhere that adding market is causing stability issues. I know my A70 is having some issues, and I never ran it with 2.1 on it so I don't know how it behaved before the update, and I put market on it first thing.
I'm hoping its all just due to a rushed release of 2.2 to appease the masses, and an update is coming soon to help stability. But in the meantime, what are some tips for helping stability?

i was having problems with the 28 and 32.when i restored back to factory it ran perfect
That's unfortunate, there is a couple versions for adding gapps, wonder if one works better than the others.
The most up to date might be gapps4archos v4. kenyu has been working on it and making it work well.

Its actually called gAppsInstaller_v4, but close enough..
The v4 version fully stable.

Uninstalled market and did a factory reset, seems to be behaving better for now. I was using v4 though.
Side loaded all the apps I needed and slideme market, so far so good. Its only been about an hour, so longer testing is needed to be sure.

Kenyu,
Is there any word on the New Mkt floating around here. Can we install it? Are you going to work on a version for us?

I spent a good portion of the day yesterday playing around with a hot swap of the newer Market, but had no luck.
I even reset and added the newer Market to a fresh install and it worked, but was very unstable. Basically, in order to get a stable version of the Market, we need a specific type/flavor of Vendor.apk which I don't have nor do I know how to find or even what to look for....
It's almost like the gApp files need to be all in sync with each other in order to get a stable Market experience....
Get the file OTA is a different matter... I think that will work OK.
I gave up on the market with my A5 IT... it runs so much better without it(more RAM, less FC's). The only annoying part is when apps have plugins on the market - these are often difficult to find elsewhere. Also some apps will assume you have it installed and can sometimes FC when they look for it and can't find it.
I have not intention of installing it on my gen8 either.
After more testing, its still running good. The shoehorning method of installing market may be causing problems somewhere. I'm not even running a task manager to keep the thing from locking up. Even when switching between several memory intensive apps the free memory would stay around 40mb free at minimum. Seems memory management is working better.
I am extremely happy using BAMF remix 1.8 (froyo), besides a minor issue or two, with the Wireless Tether APK now on my card, I am good.
Just wondering what other people find the benefits are to going with the OTA update vs some other GB update/rom already out?

There really aren't any benefits of going with OTA, other than preserving your warranty. Warranties don't worry me since I insure the thing. The benefits of going from Froyo to GB are definitely pronounced though. Better features that are better implemented. A few more features as well. And the current radios and GB builds are easily the most stable and power efficient to date.
I have no idea why anyone who rooted and still has root would think any OTA is better than what they currently have

Honestly, that's why I posed the question. I used to be a flashaholic with my DX but my TB not so much. I guess frustrations from imperfect GB ROMs had me go back to Froyo so I haven't been following the recent threads.
You can also, or should be able to soon, update to a newer BAMF version that incorporates this just-released OTA. I use SkyRaider and, according to it's dev, it will be updated pretty soon. I presume it's to bring it up-to-date with the base files. I know he's incorporating the VM fix that was created yesterday.

BAMF isn't going to rebase their ROMs on the latest OTA because it's not worth it. If you want to be that up to date, the provide a patch to update the 8 files.

For one, your boss won't get that kinky SMS message originally intended for your wife/girlfriend, where you tell her how nice her ass is.
So, I had the Android alpha build on my Touchpad, as well as Preware on the WebOS side with various patches to tweak it to my liking. I left the Touchpad on the Touchstone dock overnight to charge and it ended up doing the OTA on its own in the background.
This messed quite a few things up. The boot menu was gone, and it would boot into WebOS by default. This meant Android was essentially gone. Wifi in WebOS wasn't working reliably, and some of my Preware patches worked, some didn't. I decided to uninstall Android properly and use WebOS Doctor to put the Touchpad back to stock.
I followed the directions from this video to uninstall Android. It worked without any problems. It is simple, and basically doing the exact same thing as the install process with a different file. I then downloaded WebOS Doctor from HP and followed their directions. When it was finished it worked like I wish it had all along. The problem is I can tell some of the Preware patches seem to still be in effect. I can tell this by the fact that my custom tabs for Homebrew and Games are still there, and they were installed via a patch. Most of them seem to be gone or not working anymore. All of my apps installed via sideloaded IPKs are gone, but all the market installed apps were automatically reloaded from backup.
The weird part is that I don't know if this last software update really made the Touchpad that much snappier feeling stock, or the patches for making it that way are still working. I don't remember the stock Touchpad working anywhere near this nicely before I used Preware with it. Has anyone else come across this? I was pleasantly surprised, and might just leave the Touchpad like this!
the last software update definitely made it slicker....i reset mine last night and i could tell the difference from when i had 3.0.2 compared to 3.0.4.
then installed the patches and made it better some more
Yeah, I have to go back and install preware on it again. I definitely miss some of those additions.
Yeah - a few of the preware patches seem messed up now. I had to use WebOS Quick Install to update or remove some of them because they would just keep erroring out after the upgrade.
Other post-3.0.4 weirdness: my Touchstone no longer charges while the case flap is folded back, and i seemingly-randomly get a ton of static when playing music.

Ooh, yeah, I may have to do that. Is it a big deal using the good Dr. to downgrade? I've never used it before. I was pretty happy with 3.0.2. I hope it would fix all the new issues.
There are rumors of a 3.0.5 update too, but who knows. I swear though, the Touchpad is the best-supported discontinued device I've ever seen. I just really hope they can fix the issues that were introduced in 3.0.4.

Well if you have CM7 + moboot I heard it wont erase those partitions.. not 100% sure, haven't gone through with it.
If there is a 3.0.5 update I might wait for that but I want to get rid of CM7 and moboot and I feel like 3.0.4 is hurting my battery (like damaging it) anyways. I'm starting to like WebOS a lot more than Android. Just needs more free apps.

I saw a patch in preware that said it's supposed to remove moboot and/or CM7 (I don't have any experience with it). I'm with you on the WebOS love though. It's really only missing all those apps.

Do you mean in general? I have to admit, 3.0.2 seemed way more stable for me. Everyone says 3.0.4 performs better, but I guess I don't use it enough to be able to tell (I also had most all of the performance patches and Uberkernel installed on 3.0.2).
This question is for people in the US that downloaded the 11.1 firmware update and applied it. Did it fix / break anything? Should I try it and see if it helps with the rebooting issues?
I just want to know if it helps at all.

Been wondering the same thing. I actually read the entire thread on it, and came away with no real detail on what it has that may be different. I like to incorporate any fixes I can get my hands on, but there is too little info on this "undocumented" update. Folks were nice enough to make it available, but no one ever tore it down enough to know what it does/has. I won't take that kind of risk on... Probably best to wait for the next official, especially since that thread went nowhere, and was not too conclusive as to what this update may or may not do.
Always best to update to the latest firmware. What you waiting for?

Oh OK..did only specific people get this one? Like Asus only made this available to people they contacted?
This is the thread
OP: Try to include the full release number so people know what you are talking about, specifically. In this case, its the ICS Update 9.4.2.11.1
This seems to be the bulk of avalable info on this:

In other words... not much. I thought about it... a lot. In fact I downloaded it last night, but so far, I am brave, but not stupid, I hope.
NEVER update to something that you do not know EXACTLY what it is, what it does(or is trying to do) and what is in it.
NEVER
Unless you LIKE having a shine "Spun Metalic" Brick... in which case, go for it.
I had the random freeze then immediately reboot bug. Really sucked and was really random. I couldn't pinpoint what was causing it at all.
Soooo, I gave 11.1 a go and all is well now.

Um, where would I see it? Build is 9. whatever.. It updated automatically after unboxing and connecting, don't see an update available. Mine is working fine software wise, no reboots or anything

I have installed it and have been running it for a week or 2. I know that it has fixed my YouTube buffering issue. It seems that it hasn't fixed the lockup issue it wifi issue, but I have not had any reboot.
I would recommend it.
Ive been running it since a half hour after it was posted and its been very good. Everything runs great with the occasional browser freeze( doesnt matter which browser)one in a while which may be my own fault because of the way i hold it with one hand in the middle and my thumb touches the bottom of the display.

Hence why I posted this thread -_-
And so far people seem to be saying that it fixes up the problems a little bit. If I can get more confirmation of this, then I'll apply it. It's an official ASUS beta for USA users only, so that's why it's not "untrustworthy".
Updating now.
I don't mind trying new things, and I'm still within my return window. I'll post if I notice anything new, but I have had 0 software bugs to date.

It's not an OTA. It's a beta that requires manual install. Or are you receiving errors on manual installation?
I actually don't get any response from my Prime regarding the update. It doesn't even try, just boots on up... will keep trying

I think you have to set the brightness to 50% and something else for it to go into "update mode" or whatever.
I've had it installed for over a week and a half, and it fixed my re-booting issue.

I'm used to searching on my tablet to see if it needs an update. But you said this was a manual.
However, when I got to the Asus Prime Firmware update site, the newest looks like 11, not 11.1.
I've bite the bullet to manually update to the beta 11.1, I will report back if it worked for me. I've had reboots/crashes/and lockups. Not too many, but enough to make me mad at this expensive 64gb tablet. Let's see. I've applied the update without a factory reset, hopefully a factor reset isn't needed since I've done a few after the orginal ICS update.

Let us know if it helps at all. It'd be great for someone to personally clarify it.
hi two nights ago when i found out that the beta program has changed and i'm not ever going to get a stable build i decided to unenroll my p6 from beta program. The issue is i got the update notification immediately like i always have in the past. Except this time the phone never rebooted when i went to apply the update. so after an hour of just letting it sit I tried to power it on and got the splash screen that usually comes up when you try to boot into recovery where you have to select recovery except there was no option for recovery. And even worse there was a message at the bottom of the screen that said there is no operating system installed on this device and gabe a website to go too. my heart jumped into my throat. But i regained composure and powered off the phone and started to prepare to use the android flash tool (unsure if that was even the right step to take) but then i looked at my phone and saw that the erase ring like when you factory reset was there. so i decided not to touch it and let it do its thing. So now my phone did factory reset which i am aware that when you unenroll that is what happens but it did not install the latest stable build. Weird right? So now I am still on s3b1.220218.004 Which if im not mistaken is the newest beata build which i was on before i started. My security update says march 2022 my play system update still says february 1 and when i go to the android beta website it says that my phone is unenrolled in the beta program!!!!
So does anyone know how i get back to the stable channel now? I am lost any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for being an experienced Android tester.
Your post will help people that are not sure what to do incase things go sideways.
I am on stock and from what I have learned is if you install a newer android system. You can not go back. That is why I stayed away from beta testing. Unless things changed that I don't know about, your stuck.
The only thing as a stock user is to try downloading the full factory image and do a flash-all.

Thank you for the answer. I did read that too but I didn't think it would apply in this situation. Oh wait I forgot the p6 hasn't gotten the latest security update yet. So your right I would be going back to February. Well hopefully since I am no longer enrolled in the beta program I will not receive anymore beta builds and either when March stable is released I will get that. And if that's is considered going back then I will have to wait till April thank you for bringing this to light. Man I wish Google would have given more of a heads up. If I knew I would not have installed this latest beta and stayed on beta 3. But I thought I was getting 12L stable. If I stayed on beta 3 and then unenrolled I would not have had a problem.
I am glad this will help others as I have received so much help on xda. In fact I learned everything I know from xda I do not work with computers I am a cook and a shellfish farmer. I see you helping alot of people so thank you for that. Keep up the good work my friend.

One more question. I know it might sound silly but if I'm on the latest beta which is for the next feature drop if I understand correctly then shouldn't this at least have the code for 12L stable in it? Because I don't seem to have any of the latest feature drop stuff. Also oddly enough my wife has the pixel 5a and she is on stable channel and she has all that feature drop stuff plus she also has the newest version of Google's messages app. With the catagories at the top. Shouldn't I have that by now?
Sorry for the weird question.
The March beta build was released on Wednesday so the most likely case is that your phone has "automatic system updates" turned on (default) in developer settings & that the phone had probably already updated your OS in the background (overnight) before you unenrolled. Due to the pending reboot to finish installation of the QPR3 Beta 1 (a newer build than February), it is likely that whatever controls the unenrollment/system update noted that you are on a later build & only wrote the bit to wipe your device upon reboot rather than attempting to downgrade to Feb build, because an newer update was already pending installation.
If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to flash February build with fastboot, if not you may be able to sideload the full February OTA in recovery mode, or re-enrolling and then unenrolling again should work to go back to a stable build. You absolutely can "downgrade" if coming from a beta, or just manually flashing. (Edit: or with Android recovery tool)
RE: your second question, QPR3 Beta 1 has none of the March builds feature drop stuff in it, yet, which is why you won't have the same features as your wife's 5A.

I'm running QPR3 Beta 1 and it seems like I have at least some of the feature drop stuff, including the new battery widget, Gboard custom stickers, and I believe the expanded stuff in At A Glance.
This build does include the March security update so I would think it would include the feature drop stuff as well.

I should have been a little more specific, sorry for confusion lol.
I got the AAG widget in Beta 3 through a update on the Play Store so I assume that everyone would get this widget even outside of 12L (12.1), and believe that the Gboard stuff is also pushed by a server side update for US English? So those definitely work for most, I think.
I am only going off my experience and things I've heard online from other people though - Snap at night, live translate (of the new languages) and recorders transcription of Italian/Spanish (+assistants quick phrases) don't work for me on the QPR Beta 1. I can't say if Captions in calls work on this build though as I think that's a US only drop.
Google actually dropped the "Feature Drop" part from the Beta page too, so 100% unsure of what the QPR builds will actually entail now.

Yeah, seems like the QPR Beta builds will be mostly updates to the QPRs rather than actually testing any feature drop stuff. Hopefully they'll mix in a bit of those though. I'm actually ok with that as the QPR Betas should include some non-security fixes, so that's at least something to stay ahead of the game a bit.

I don't think anyone's getting Play System updates very quickly at the moment - Google pushed February's update out over like 5/6 different parts, from what I can remember - mine only started showing "February 2022" when I manually updated a related system app on the 27th of Feb, so I'd expect March's Play System update to be pushed slowly over the month too.

Well hopefully today the stable channel will get it's March update. Then hopefully I will get the ota to move me to stable channel. If not then I am going to try the android flash tool to see if I can get back on stable releases.

So it looks like Google might have released the stable March build. I am at work and haven't had a chance to read anything yet but I just got an update for 451mb and it says it's for the latest stable release of android 12. I just.left my phone on the way it was and didn't re enroll in the beta program. It looks.like it finally caught up for me. It's going to wipe.mymphonenagain so I'll report back after I'm all setup.
Edit: so I just looked on Google website and I do not see the March build yet. I really hope that I'm not going back to February that would not make any sense. I thought you that you can't go backwards with the builds.
so i just went through the whole proccess and it did not put me on the latest stable build im still on the same one. I guess that they did not come out with the march stable update. But the weird thing is it did the same thing it did last time. when i finished the download and restarted my phone the boot menu came up with a message that said no vaild operating system. and i could not boot into recovery or do anything at all. i just let it sit and powered it off waited a minute and powered it back on and it gave the erasing ring. then rebooted. Is that normal now? it has never done that before the last two times
