ROM / App / Wifi Problem - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wifi wasn't working (from months ago before I even rooted) but wiping then installing this rom fixed it... However when I go back into recovery and flash A2SD then reboot, it restores some of my apps automatically (from Titanium Backup probably?) and my wifi is broke again?
Anything I can do?

titanium backup + damagecontrol 3.1.2 wont restore apps

Running DC 3.1.2 and a netarchy's 5 pt multi touch/fps fix kernel, Paid version of titanium backup.
I've fixed permissions
verified backups
installed app, apps + data, apps + system data
When i attempt to restore any app i've backed up on the sd card via titanium backup it wont restore them. It goes through, acts like it installed but when i reboot the phone and do the above mentioned things it just doesnt show up...
I should mentioned i came from stock rooted EVO 4G 1.3x ROM
Anyone ever heard of this problem before?
bump, anyone?
ANother thing its now doing is i was able to get the apps to show up in market, however they show as installed... until i click on the app then it asks me to install it.
Friggin weird.
anyone at all?
That's a weird one. I've been using Titanium quite a bit lately with no problems. You might just have to wipe and start over. Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling Titanium? Its also possible there's a problem with your SD card. Do you have another one you could test with?
Did you go into settings / applications and put a check in the unknown sources box?
.....
Frank...
yes unknown sources is checked.
SD card as far as i know has no problems, ill try with a new one.
Thanks for the info.
im having the same problem. i have unknown sources checked, reflashed a couple times, and have even re-rooted. it works perfectly in both fresh and OMJ, but DC just fails. if you install the apps manually and then do a restore of app+data, it will restore the data properly, but it fails when you try to install from the backup.

Same problem here...Fresh, Calkulin's EviO, Baked Snack, and Toasted Delight ROMs have all been able to restore just fine using Titanium Backup.
It's too bad...I really wanted to try DCs ROM, but I'm not gonna go through installing all my missing apps and setting up all the screens again.
Has anyone found a way to fix this yet?

Just make a nandroid backup, wipe, and try out DC 3.2.3 yourself. 99% chance everything will be fine.

The problem isn't loading the ROM. I'm able to install DC after doing a full wipe...it seems to be the only ROM that causes problem when trying to do a full Titanium Backup restore.

[Q] Noob problems flashing CM7.0.3

G'day everyone, have been trying to find answers to my myriad newbie questions and have found this forum to be relatively noob-friendly, so bear with me whilst I pour them out!
Ok, so I've got a HTC Desire (GSM), unlocked and unbranded, running 2.2 with the baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I've been keen to get into the Custom ROM world, so I recently rooted the device using Unrevoked 3 without any issues. I then installed Titanium Backup to get familiar with it, then ROM Manager after discovering that it would take a lot of the hassle out of flashing ROMS.
I used TB to do batch backup of 'all user apps + system data'. I then used RM to flash the latest ClockWork Recovery, then do a NANDroid backup of the current ROM (Stock Sense).
Then, I used RM to download CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and selected GApps also. I specified to wipe data and cache, then went ahead with flashing the new ROM.
The ROM flashed without issue and when it started I was asked for my Google account details, which I entered, then once I had enabled my wifi details, I downloaded all the Google apps.
Then I installed TB again and performed a 'Restore all apps with data'.
It was at this point I realised that my Contacts had not been restored, I only had a few from my SIM card showing. I thought that if I rebooted the device then the 600 other contacts would appear. I rebooted and then the device got stuck at the CyanogenMod splash screen for approx 20 mins. I rebooted into Recovery and reflashed my original stock ROM (making sure to clear data and cache) and was relieved to have the phone back the way it was. Once back in Sense, I exported all my Contacts to the SD card, for easier importing later.
I then tried to reflash CM7 again but was wary that the root cause of the earlier splash loop could've been either GApps or what I restored from TB. So I selected GApps to flash again, but this time at the startup screen giving you the option of which GApps to install, I selected none. I then attempted to download the ones I wanted from the Market. This worked ok but strangely Maps wouldn't download. I then went into TB and ran 'Restore missing apps + data', then 'Restore all system data' where I de-selected all the red items that appeared to be Sense-specific.
This gave a relatively ok setup, but when I rebooted to test its stability, it got caught in an indefinite splash screen loop again!
1. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong?
2. Why didn't my contacts restore with TB?
3. What is the best backup and restore procedure to use with TB when switching between Sense and CM7?
4. What is the best method to use to install GApps?
Thanks in advance!
Did you do a full wipe in recovery before flashing the new rom - i.e. erase data/factory reset, erase cache, wipe battery stats?
Also I think restoring a "sense" Ti backup to a non sense rom is giving you the problem.
You have a nandroid of your original sense rom, right?
I think now it would work to do full wipe, restore your nandroid - and take care to backup your apps and data to your google account when going through the registration process. This should restore contacts, sms etc. later. Do Ti backup of user apps ONLY, and delete the previous Ti backup data from your sd card e.g. using root explorer.
OK, now full wipe again, reflash new rom and register - take care to leave checked both "backup" and "restore" from google account while registering. Now wait - most stuff should restore in 5-10 minutes from google servers. If not, reboot. If still not, restore user apps only via Ti backup.
I hope that works! As for gapps, not sure but isn't that another zip to flash? If so, you should do it after flashing the rom and rebooting at least once after running it.
Good luck!
No need to reflash Gapps.zip. It's included in the 7.0.3 stable release. (I know, I just flashed it last week) The prior releases required an additional flashing.
Agree with above poster. Always wipe those caches before re-flashing. Sometimes you can get away without doing it if going from 1 version ROM to another, but is best to wipe.
Also a good idea to flash update your recovery before flashing a new version ROM. Or at least on occasion.
EDIT: I use My Phone Explorer to Sync my contacts, calendar, sms, etc with Outlook. Or you can sync it with phone explorer's own app.
Thanks for the detailed responses guys.
I managed to fix it by downloading the latest zip files for CM7 and Gapps directly from the Cyanogen site and doing a manual install from ClockworkMod. Looks like ROM Installer probably wasn't getting compatible files. Oh and yes, I was always clearing the data and cache before each flash.
So, now I'm working through the incredible depths of CM, I'm sure more questions will be coming!

[Q] Google services framework stopped after nandroid restore.

Hi,
After rooting and trying some ROM's out i wanted to go back to an 'old' ROM from which I had a nandroid backup. It went smooth the first time but the second time I got a error saying that Google services framework stopped working.
Only the stock app worked and none of my other installed apps did.
I couldn't even open the settings menu nor could i open Titanium backup.
I then reflashed the ROM and manually copied some TB backup folders but lost all other data.
Someone has an idea about this?

I'm using Amon_RA atm.
Still no fix?...
try re-flashing recovery and then do the restore again. If you don't know how check the guide in my link.

[Q] No wifi after upgrading to ARHD 18.1 with titanium backup

Like the title says I have upgraded to the latest version of Android revolution HD 18.1
However, when I managed to make it work (took some since i forgot to update to latest hboot), it doesn't connect to my normal wifi network.
It did however worked when I flashed to rom, but when I used titanium backup to restore all my apps (I always have been doing this, since the earlier versions) I rebooted and it won't connect to my wifi anymore.
What can I do in exact steps to fix this problem? And is it possible to do this without flashing again?
Did you restore just apps or apps + system data? Because system data can conflict with new Rom you will proberly have to reflash Rom and only restore apps no system data with titanium

Restoring system data (Titanium Backup)

I know it's not recommended to restore system data when flashing to a different rom, but what if I'm just upgrading to a newer version of the same rom (newest nightly build)?

It would depend on what's been changed...
Take a backup and try it. Be sure to restore data, not system apps.
I'm also using TB a lot and trying here and there new ROMs. As long as you restore "Data only" you shouldn't have any problems. At least I didn't until now. Restoring the APP that way - I wouldn't recommend. I got issues very often like unmotivated reboots or APP just stops working after a while and so on. I would recommend do use APP Backup & Restore in combination with TB. After installing a new version of a ROM (mostly I do full-wipe) you can select the Apps you want to restore and they are running the installation process ! (so not just a recover). When I'm done with that I use TB to restore Data only. Didn't have any issues until now with that way. Hope that helps.
