So currently i am running stock deodexed official 2.2 with my own modifications set in place, all from .zips. i cleaned out all of the stock apps that i know will not cause problems and are not linked with other apps. then when i saw all the stuff cleared out in that new "feather rom" or whatever its called, i decided to clear out a few more stuff. now, i am getting the repeated "com.htc.bgp force close." its a few times an hour and its annoying. i think its from one of these three apps: WeatherAgentService
WeatherProvider
WeatherSyncProvider
because everything else i deleted was pretty much independent (eg mail.apk). i already had weather deleted, so i figured deleting these wouldnt be much of a problem. and no, i didnt do a nand backup because im an idiot. is there a way i can replace these apps? or should i just deal with it

Kinda noobish with this so bear with me for a second
So, First I was running fresh .02 then .03
When I rooted with toasts method, I noticed there was some wimax dev tools and I thought hey these look like they could be fun. So I backed them up.
When I flashed fresh 02 I moved them back into system/app and modifed the permissions accordingly.
Cleared dalvik and rebooted. Only one showed up, I was running adw.launcher at the time so i thought maybe that sense has to be active in order for it to show up, so i cleared defaults for adw and selected sense and they still didnt show up. Didnt worry about it to much so I said screw it.
Well now im running DC 3.1.2 and im using the banned apps feature to kill sense. Well I moved calendar.apk (htc calendar) back into sytem/app once again verifying permissions, clearing dalvik and its not showing up. I verified that it is not being banned so...im not sure why its not showing up.
I dont understand what im missing here. So any help would be cool
I'm pretty sure that this hasn't been covered specifically so I'm posting a new thread.
I backed up all my apps and data on a stock rooted Sprint 4.24.651.1, 2.3.3 ROM via TBU Pro. I also performed a backup of my current ROM with ROM Manager. I then installed Team Nocturnal _Shooter_RLS_2.3.(after, of course, all the recommended wipes and resets) When I went to restore my apps and data I wondered if some of the previous app versions (where both ROMs have same apps/diff versions) would hose things up. It did, I think. Maybe all that I needed to do was clear some app caches and reboot. Not sure, I couldn't get any of the HTC widgets to load but I did see in another thread that cache clearing may fix that. But other stuff was goofy after the restore too. It became buggy and horribly slow, so I think that there's more to it than just the HTC stuff. I wonder if something I restored and maybe shouldn't have hosed it up. What I'm wondering is if someone would be so kind as to scan down my app lists and tell me which apps and/or data that are obvious that I shouldn't restore? For example, this new ROM has a different dialer, it makes sense to me that I wouldn't restore that. Same with anything to do with Sense, since this particular ROM I believe has a newer version, but not sure. I am thinking that any time I install a different ROM this will be a consideration but maybe I have the wrong idea about the whole thing. I have attached 30 images captured (incl the Software info screen) of my app list in TBU.
Lastly, I'll add that since making the move to Android from WinMo about a year ago I am very glad I did it. I could not have possibly been able to learn and do the things (rooting, S-off, flashing ROMS) that I have done without XDA! You folks are brainiacs and I greatly admire what you all do. (blatant a**-kissing)Thank you, thank you!
You have to be very careful about what you restore using Titanium when you are moving from one ROM to another. I found this from personal experience (moving from Stock to Synergy RLS1 and then to MikG). There is some good info in the Titanium Backup Wiki.
The part that you need to be careful about is restoring system data that is incompatible with the newer system apps in your new ROM. Your best bet is to only restore the User Apps and their data. You can do this in Titanium by selecting Menu > Batch > Restore missing apps with data.
There is some system data that you can restore without getting into trouble (probably bookmarks, SMS Messages, Sprint Voicemail) but you are going to have to experiment. I restored my missing apps using the batch option and then went to the Backup/Restore screen to look at the System Apps and Data one by one to see if there was anything that I could restore. Sometimes I would restore some data that would cause a problem and I would have to Wipe that data (also in Titanium Backup/Restore screen) and move along. I know at least once I was forced to start fresh and Wipe and reflash the ROM.

Yeah, I had a feeling that there would be conflicts like that before I even restored. I never thought to read the TBU wiki...thanks for that tip! It looks like I have a lot more homework to do before I flash again. I really have to decide if the time investment is really worth the return. There are so many cool ROMs out there but what a lot of B.S. sorting out what works and what doesn't. It is excruciating to have to read through 50+ posts following a ROM release to find out what you're in for. What would be super-cool is if someone was able to construct a spreadsheet of the most popular ROMs in a column with all of the popular features (4G, Wifi Tether, Mirroring, etc), kernel compatibility, Sense or no Sense, etc in a row at the top, with check marks indicating whether or not the feature works or is baked in. I'd pay to see that. Especially if it were linked to the downloads to the ROMs and kernels.
Thank you very much for the reply!
I've google and searched for this problem on and off and I can't seem to find a solution. What I did find is the problem might be related to sync data corruption, especially with the G1, which would make sense. In fact, I had to reflash several ROMs due to data corruption. However, what gets me is that I can view contacts just fine and I can still sync without errors. The acore process only force closes when I try to open the new contact screen. This effectively prevents me from adding new contacts.
I should note that just recently flashed GB based RandomROM Thunderhawk in light of my latest data corruption incident with SyndicateROM frozen 1.2. It started with sync data, and eventually spread to the point where my launcher wouldn't load, and I couldn't open any apps without some process FCing.
Before, I was running
ROM: Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.2
Kernel: Genocide 2.0
Modem: EH17
Now I'm running
Random ROM Thunderhawk EI22
Nubernel 2.6.35
EH17 (same from before)
Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

I would guess you might need to do a clean wipe of the system...
I always seem to run into some kind of issues if I don't wipe it clean x3 on everything. Except battery.
I also try to do roughly a weekly back up in case I screw up my phone or the rom i am running goes to crap... its happened... bluetooth dock causing phone to reboot incorrectly. Not sure what caused that but haven't had it happen yet on ACS ICS v4.
You could back up the system you have running. Then flash clean a new system grab that particular apk and wipe then restore the old system and then put in the working apk?
I don't know just food for thoughts.
I did wipe 3 times (user data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache) prior to installing Thunderhawk... plus the custom boot and shutdown animations I flashed wiped the cache a 4th and 5th time. The system shouldn't be corrupted, but as of now it's the only lead I have, and beats reflashing and starting over again. Appreciated the input.
BTW - I did see a script in the Random Extras folder to enable journaling. I'm not entirely sure what journaling is, but would it help prevent further data corruption in the future? What are the Pros/Cons of enabling journaling?

Sounds as though you might have some errors of some sort in your contacts vcard. I would try to delete all contacts , back them up first. If it acts normal then add them one by one. Another route would be to reload the contacts program . If you need help with that let me know.
I've seen the Google+ and account sync fudge up contacts. Sometimes they release patches in the threads for the ROMs. I am on ERA's Beta 3.3, and they had previous issues as such.
Wiping and doing the 2,254 steps to get ready for a ROM, and then reflashing might help. Be cautious at what accounts you sync at first. One of them may be corrupt.
Just a thought!

By reloading, do you mean simply restarting the program, or reinstalling? I've already done the former with no luck. Not sure how to approach the latter. I will clean out the contacts (again) and try to monitor the syncing. This is going to be fun...
Another relevant piece of data: I have 3-5 gmail accounts synced to my phone at any given time. Currently, I have 1 work email (have 3 work emails total), and 2 personal. One I use for job applications and the other is actually for personal use. Whew... its a total of approx. 150 unique contacts. I have no idea how many duplicates I have. I also have 1 facebook account synced. I know its a lot for a human to manage, the number is insignificant for a 1.4GHz machine.
UPDATE:
So, I just deleted all my contacts and I can now add new contacts! YAY!!! :-D
I also successfully synced my personal email, which has the bulk of my ~150 contacts, and still no problems! So far so good. However, I'm having trouble syncing my work email (using extra security), as well as my job application email. Poop.
I also uninstalled Google+ prior to deleting all my contacts, so I can't pin-point the exact problem. Also poop. Will keep you all posted if anything new comes up. Thanks for the help.

I'll disable auto-sync. I don't really use Google+, but it is installed and logged in. I'll uninstall.
Thanks for the tip.
Sorry if this has been asked a lot (search was only partly helpful)...
I rooted my Dinc2 today and would surely like to delete Vzw's Backup Assistant, but ran across mention on some other forum of potential problems if fully removed.
What's the opinion here? Freeze it or whack it entirely?
TIA
Either. I don't use it, never had a problem deleting it.

Some of the custom ROM, if I'm not mistaken, deleted them completely.
We have 2 DI2 (black & red) running SR's Zeus v1.3 and it's frozen on both devices (along with a few other left-over bloatware) and no FC'd/freeze/etc. - it's as good as uninstalling or deleting them for good. Ditto, same for RMK's Ginger Sense rom (rooted stock & debloated, etc.) and ran without a hitch & never missed them.
Any & all sync. needed are taken care by Google account.

simply use the rooted rmk sense , it is the stock after removing bloatware
there is an APK or script called Rom Cleaner in XDA , check it
I have deleted it and run no problems.
I have used a lot of roms and never had an issue. Just back them up to google and ur set unless u go back to a basic phone then u might have an issue.
I wouldn't
There may be important system file in that, and it may cause your phone to crash. If you try to delete it please make a nano droid Back up to be safe.
Freeze both BackupAssistant and SyncService
Thanks for the feedback. To be safe, I froze it, using AntTek App Manager.
Strangely, while the BackupAssistant was effectively gone, SyncService (com.fusionone.android.sync.service) showed up among the running apps. After much googling, I discovered that FusionOne appears to be the company that helped Vzw write their Backup Asst. And it looks like you need to freeze both the BackupAssistant and SyncService to effectively stop the process.
I posted something similar in the general questions subforum but of course there was no response.
I'm on stock rooted 4.3. If it matters, I ALWAYS get a message about gapps crashing.
Basically, I'm sick of ****Wiz and its continuous bulkiness and slowness. Tried a few ROMs, settled on PacMan. Trouble is there just seems to be NO way to restore my apps.
Titanium is no good because it breaks push notifications for any app that uses them - unacceptable.
The Play Store just refuses to act right. At first it wouldn't restore anything at all, then on one of my million flashes, I started restoring from Titanium one-by-one, then got even MORE frustrated and stopped. Now that list of about six apps is what the Play Store tries to "restore".
I've flashed and Nandroided back so many times because of this. And no matter HOW many times I manually sync, or how long I leave my phone on Wi-Fi to do it itself, when I flash it's those same six apps restoring.
Today I thought to make an update.zip in Titanium before flashing. Flashed the ROM, then Gapps. Tried the update.zip and it wouldn't work. Booted, then tried it. It worked, but didn't "reboot in 5 seconds"... had to battery pull after 10 minutes. Then the apps didn't have data. Titanium restored them and recommended a reboot. When I did that, the menu button no longer worked. At all.
I'm really ****ing sick of this. What am I supposed to do? If I have to stay on TouchWiz I'm getting rid of this phone. It's counterproductive at this point.
Are the custom ROMs based on the stock Samsung kernel? If not, that may be why your apps are crashing after being restored.

Well, they're not crashing. When I restore them with Titanium, everything works fine about them except push notifications and that just can't happen.
And the ROM I've chosen for now is PacMan. I don't think it is?
