Question regarding Market Place and apps automatically restoring - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any idea why some ROMS automatically restore your previously downloaded apps after flashing and some don't? I also could be seeing things, but I thought some actually redownload the apps on their own and others show you the apps and give you the option to redownload them.
Just wondering if anyone could explain that to me...
Thanks,
Ken

Some roms use google backup and some dont. Better suited in th q&a forum instead of here though

[Q] Making the switch to Cyanogen for the first time - Few Questions

I'm just about to finally make the switch to Cyanogen after being on Sense ROMs ever since rooting. Not sure if I'm going to go with the latest alpha with wimax this weekend or wait a little longer for CM7. Before I do, I have a few questions.
1. When doing an app restore via titanium should I do an app restore only and not app+data?
2. When doing the app restore, can I do a batch restore of all of them or should I do them individually making sure I don't select any HTC apps? I'm worried that by restoring something like 'Weather' it will cause issues in cyanogen because it's an HTC app.
3. Is it best to use the built in multimedia apps in cyanogen over 3rd party apps or does it matter? For instance I have the paid version of Mixzing and love it. I'm assuming it will work without issues in cyanogen but worry that I'm missing some great cyanogen-only features by not using the built in music player.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to CM. I made the switch for the first time a couple of weeks ago and haven't looked back.
I'm new to this myself but I'll tell you what I've learned. As far as titanium backup goes I usually install my apps separately just to be safe. I do just the apps and then the data. I haven't had an issue doing it this way. Your HTC apps will not work in a CM rom so I wouldn't suggest trying. That will cause issues. Your third party apps should work just fine. All of the ones I use work with no issues.
The guys in the official cm threads are great. They are normally willing to help just try to read through them first to see if your question may have been answered. Good luck man. If you need help just holla I'll help in anyway I can.

Great thanks. One thing though, how do you know which apps are HTC ones? Not all of them show up in the app title. The Weather one is a perfect example.

If you delete an app via titanium backup [which I use] most of the time when you delete it it'll show like htc blah blah blah.apk, so you can try that, or search for a list of stock htc apk files. I hope that helps.
Edit: Also, your Mixzing app will work, and you can have multiple music player apps, so you can experiment to see what you like. That also goes for other apps, like multiple theme viewers, browsers, ect.

[REQUEST] Black-themed Mail (not Gmail) app

I've loved the themes that I've seen for the gmail app, but unfortunately, I have non-gmail accounts and so must use the seldom-themed, standard Mail app. Any chance somebody could do one of those black/cyan themes for me? It would be GREATLY appreciated.
*Note: Yes, I realize that I posted this in a different section of the forum. I tried to delete the post, but couldn't figure out how. If there is a way to, let me know.

Try this. Original inversion credit goes to travp624 over at rootzwiki, and the icons are mine. I use corporate email exclusively too, and run AOKP 4.0.3- it works great.
How did you install it? I threw it in /system/app (there wasn't already an email.apk) and now I keep getting an error when the phone is on that "Email has stopped"

Aha. You must be running a different rom that still has the other email apk. (called googlemail.apk or something like that.) This is only for 4.0.3 roms like aokp or similar. sorry about that. Just delete mine and push a copy of your old one back. If you don't have a backup, just pull one out of the rom you use and push it.
Yes and no. I'm using the Apex ROM on 4.0.3. Any way around this?

Honestly I'm not familiar with Apex. The OP on rootz said it was compatible with "most" 4.0.3 roms. If it's extremely important to use exchange email, AOKP is an amazing rom and the file i sent works great.
Rootz thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-gapps-updated-2-11-404-gmail-and-talk/
Alright, I'm still kind of new at this. Can I flash the AOKP ROM without having to re-enter all of my user data and app settings? That would be a major PITA right now.
Would Titanium Backup back up as much as I would need to? Would a Nandroid backup?
Nevermind, I ended up just going back to factory and then flashing AOKP. Loving it so far, though!

Restoring app data in CM9 help

I know restoring data from system apps with TB will cause problems but is it ok to restore data from all my none system apps with TB. If so how do i do it without accidentally restoring system data? I have data i would like to restore like shazam or Mr. Number so if anyone can help it would be great. I posted this question in the CM9 thread but no one was able to give a answer

Probably because its simple. Do you know how to use TB at all? There is a button that says restore next to your app but just keep in mind you had to of backed it up at one time.
I mean seriously did you click backup restore option at the top then click the app and see options to restore or backup. OK one last thing why not just go to TB web page for help or better yet Google...smdh

i gave you the answer in the cm9 thread. you even quoted it.
people like him and i give the responses we give to get people like you to think about the scenario a bit and to use your head so that you're not reliant on someone else answering a question that you wouldn't have to ask had you took the initiative play with the app for 3 minutes to figure it out yourself.
if you used TB, then you would see the "restore missing apps with data" and the "restore all system data" options. it's pretty clear what the correct option would be for your case. since the first one doesn't say "system", but the second one does explicitly says "system", then it's quite obvious that the option to go with is the one that doesn't say "system". when you choose the "restore missing apps with data" option, it lists all non-system apps. from there, it comes down to hand-eye coordination and an IQ higher than 30 to not click on a non-system app or to click on only certain apps that you want restored. all you have to do is play around with the app a little bit to figure it out.

Whatsapp FC on Hyperdrive RLS11

Hello,
I just would like to know if anyone is facing FC when using Whatsapp on Hyperdrive RLS11 ROM.
This ROM is awesome. I only have this problem.
Hope anyone know how can I fix it.
Thanks
go into settings > apps > all

Hey again,
I tried both. I'm still facing the same problem. Every time I try to hit the back button, it freezes for few seconds and it crashes.
I use Whatsapp a lot so this is bad.
I only started facing this problem when I installed the most recent Hyperdrive RLS 11. It is an awesome ROM. Too bad I'm having this problem.
Do you have the same ROM installed? I hope Sbrean can help me with that, but I can't post a message on his thread since I'm still new.
I'm on the rom and just installed the app no problem. Something you did... Try a fresh install once again I guess.

I've tried 3 times (followed exactly the instructions). I'm on the T-Mobile one with Stock Kernel (the only choice). What about you?
Same, it's something on your end for sure though.

Just tested it myself on my T999 and I too have no issues. It's definitely something on your end. It may be due to your specific selections within the Aroma Installer that's causing the FC. If nothing else you've tried resolved it that's the only other possible cause I can come down to.

Well I don't think it has to do with me doing something wrong while installing the ROM because I was going step by step. Again I installed it 3 different times after wiping everything.
But what might be the cause of this, I can't really say. I hope someone could just figure it out for me.
I read that few people are facing the same problem. I opened Verizon's and AT&T's threads to check.
Anyway thank you for your help.
By the way, can I tag Sbrean in anyway so that he knows about my problem? I can leave a message on his thread since I am very new to posting and stuff.
This isn't Facebook so no tagging unfortunately. If you post a logcat or go more in specifics about the error I may be able to help. Tell me exactly what you're doing during the install; what options are chosen, how you are wiping things, what exactly are you wiping. It'll be a stroke of luck if someone just jumps in and knows what is going wrong lol. Help me help you.

Oh okay. I thought of that though I can't really say.
If this is the case, it'll take me a long time to figure out what applications might be causing the problem, right? I mean how should I know whether it's the GS4 theme or any other application that's causing this FC.
Guys I'm sorry for that. I really appreciate your help.

hahaha well okay let me tell you.
I first wipe "factory reset" twice. Then I wipe cache, dalvick cache and system.
After I do so, I installed the ROM.
I'm choosing the ICS theme.
Then I am choosing the following applications: (Svoice, Stranslate, 4.2 Camera, S3 Camera (not the Note 2 that comes by default), SNote, SMemo,
S4 Accuweather, Allshare Play, Flipboard, AOSP Email, My Files, Voice Recorder, Rom Toolbox, AOSP Music (Play Music), hacked TW-Launcher 5x5, hacked youtube, street view, google maps. I think these are the apps.
Then I proceed and I wipe dalvick-cache before rebooting.
When the system starts, I am waiting for 10 minutes then reboot again.
Basically, this is what I'm doing.

It's possibly one of the apps chosen, or could be something you are restoring... Do you restore during the setup wizard? Everything else said is proper...

No I'm not restoring anything. That is very weird. I mean I installed the same apps with RLS10 and I didn't have this problem

Safe-to-uninstall stock apps on Oxygen Os?

Hello, I am wondering if I can uninstall any apps without making my phone crash. I think there are a lot of 'one plus own apps' to track logs and other stuff which is just not needed for me. Anyone could tell me if any of you have "debloated" your Oxygen Os? Anyone could list apps which are safe to uninstall and what these apps are for? I've been trying to find about this on the internet but had no luck, maybe you guys know? Thanks!

You can remove pretty much every oneplus app. I've removed stock dialer, message app along with every other oneplus app and replaced them with google apps. Its more up to you which ones you want to remove.
Well, yes, I understand these stock apps which have shortcuts in launcher. But I see a lot more stuff when I go in titanium backup, there are a lot of stuff like 'oemlogkitservice', 'BTtestmode', 'ANT half service' , 'keychain', 'NVBackupUI', 'ONePlusLogKit' and many more stuff. I am just not sure if I will be safe to uninstall those.
there are a decent number of threads detailing this topic.
