mine has been installed on internal memory since downloading it and it sets up fine, but as soon as i go to anything that requires text entry, the keyboard won't show up and SwiftKey crashes immediately. and repeatedly. very irritating.

I moved mine to internal memory, still FC's
It seems more and more apps aren't working on Velocity. I'm about ready to go to 2.2.2 rooted and some memory management and tethering apps from the market.
I got Swiftkey X from the Amazon App Store today for free and I have the same problem with Force Closes. It set to Internal Memory but still FCs. I am in no way bashing Velocity 1.1. I would rather stick with my Gingerbread keyboard than lose Velocity. Just wondering if anyone has found a fix and if there's anything I can do to help with a fix like submitting a logcat. Not sure exactly how to do that but I can learn

Is there a way to get the Velocity Toolbox, and a davlik-to-cache or whatever to work on 2.2.2 stock/rooted? the space savings is one of the best things of vel1.1 for me. setcpu can over clock. basically use stock so apps work but get a similar performance boost.
velocity 1.1 really does make the ally a decent phone especially for a free (got paid for it by costco) phone. but it would be nice if velocity 1.2 fixed these problems with apps breaking. of course, even stock can break apps, like VZC i think it was broke a number of my apps.

Move2SD Enabler will work well for apps you can't normally move but it won't let you move the dilvik cache. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.leinardi.setinstalllocation&feature=related_apps
Your probably out of luck if you want to run Velocity tool kit on anything but Velocity.
The built in tethering apps won't work under 2.2.2 either but Open Garden from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether&feature=search_result works well.

dautley, did you pull the trigger? i'm trying to decide if it is worth it or not. i've got 7 months left until my big discount on an upgrade. not sure which brain i want my phone to have for that period.
if i'm running vel1.1, which is based on 2.2.1, can i flash the 2.2.2 stock rooted zip? or do i need to do 2.2.1 and then download the update correctly?

You should be able to use the nandroid, that way you will still have Amon Ra recovery if you want to go back. Just be sure to wipe Dalvik Cache and all data if you decide to flash it, and be sure to make a Nandroid of your phone as it is now so you can easily go back to it if you want.
For now I'm staying with Velocity as it offers many advantages over stock. I went back to Maps 5.5.0 and Swift Key 1.1.91.
When the new Market finally updates itself I'll probably go back to 2.2.2 if I start getting FC's from it because the Market will always update to the latest version every time you run it.

I can verify this works for the latest Version of Maps and Swiftkey X.
