I've been swapping between a few different roms to find which best suits and want to stick with miui as it seems to work best with my sony liveview watch.
problem is that when i set it up the marketplace doesn't automatically download my apps that i've had on other roms and using one of the free backup apps and then restoring means the apps don't show up in my apps in the market so won't update.
on other devices i've had to alter the build.prop fingerprint and that's sorted it but no luck this time. in fact the miui /system won't mount as RW so had to use adb to push a revised build.prop to try.
is there a backup app that will show my installed apk's in the market or a trick to get the market to redownload them anyway?
better yet is there a way to use the bluetooth files from miui on cm7?
Try wiping the dalvik cache from recovery console. Also try to install anything from the market, this sometimes prompts it to reconnect your account

Also remembered that titanium backup has a fix broken market links if you have been using that as your mode of backup. Try all of these option and hopefully something will work

hi
cheers for the tips. already tried the dalvik cache and downloading something to kickstart it but no dice
i'll try out titanium and see what happens
only the apps you downloaded via market are re-downloaded. If you got some .apks and installed them on your own they are not downloaded.
And remember to check "backup my settings" under privacy. Check "backup and restore" when you flash a ROM.
cheers for the tip
they're all from the market so crossing my fingers for when i get a chance to try later.

I've had cyanogenmod installed for a day now and I've finally gotten all of my sms, apps, and launcher settings transferred over (thanks to everyone who helped me get it going). Everything is working fine except that after the first reboot after installing my apps, almost all of the apps that I had moved to the sd card are saying that they are no longer installed. I used astro to backup and restore them. Any suggestions?

There's a setting in Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod > Application Settings that is prolly you're problem.... try un-checking the "install to SD card feature and re-install them frm Titanium or whatever.... Just somethin to try
I've used titanium to install some of the other ones, but I don't have time right now to deal with nandroid and then reinstall my apps. probably tonight I'll give it another crack. I don't see why they wouldn't work though. For now I'm just gonna use the default sense rom.
Since my post in the development thread has been kindly deleted after ****ing around the whole afternoon with ROM's and restoring, I'm going to post the question here.
Anyone else got the app+data restore working on Oxygen 2.0 final ?
I always wipe before flashing, I tried it with Titanium backup (2 versions) and Mybackup Pro. Backup & restore works fine on CM RC7, but when I try to restore on Oxygen, it's just missing data for some apps.
But some are successfully restored with data, that what's weird.
I first thought, it's an issue with a Dalvik2sd script, but then tried it in clean Oxygen 2.0 ROM. When i check /data/data with the Root explorer, I can see the app there, but it just isn't loaded properly (for instance Financisto, Runkeeper, AlarmClockPlus, Abduction).
So basically, what's different in new 2.3.3 OTA, or am I the only one with the issue ?
Haven't tried all my apps, but its worked fine for those which I have.
Thanks for the dalvik to SD zip btw

Yeah np :]
Could you please check other apps if they're ok ? I got about 130 apps, so it's kinda annoying to don't get the data restored.
Having looked through the rest of my apps, there aren't any which had saved data. I can confirm data has been successfully restored for angry birds, flow, BBC news, your orange, tapatalk, bedside, crazy snowboard and im+

I have been using the Oxygen 2.0 for a couple of hours now and I have to say it is nice, compact and fast.
However, I have noticed that "pm, am" indication are missing from the time notification bar. Also the "AUTOMATIC" on Date and Time settings are not getting any update from the network. Am I right? Or it is just me who has it?
Also tested a previous busybox version, still same issue. But backuping and restoring on Oxygen 2.0 works correctly. Also most apps have the data restored correctly only some have issues. Have no idea, I'll just have to live with some data missing then, the 2.0 ROM just rocks that much :]
I think the best way to reinstall all apps after flash is to let Google install them automatically through market.
i have upgraded my desire from DevNull yesterday after backing up all apps with data via Titanium backup and i didnt experienced any issues with any of my apps (around 80).
This supposed to be the fix, a sqlite lib -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11729730&postcount=341
I think this is the solution to your problem :

Since "someone" deleted a correct fix from the Oxygen thread, I'm gonna repost the file here. Seriously uncool.
Replace the libsqlite.so in /system/lib. You're gonna need to be S-OFF or do it in recovery. Sqlite .db files for some apps that were missing data are readable after, so I can confirm it works.
I noticed the missing data problem almost immediately after installing the rom. Thanks for posting a fix. The "mood" in the new oxygen thread gets a bit tense compared to other desire threads.
If I remember ill hit the thanks button when I'm in on a PC.

Np, please thank orgler, he found the fix and posted it. I just saved the answer and posted it here as a solution.
I saw your reply to me just after sending you a PM. Flashing the libsqlite.zip file on top of latest oxygen rom didn't work. No big deal as the app I really need data for backs up to sdcard. I'm sure this problem will get fixed soon enough.

I just read your instructions again. I'm not s-off. Do you know how I can replace the lib with ADB?

Em, its not a flashable .zip (I didn't state that, but sometimes it's good to open the .zip first )
Boot to recovery, mount the system partition, connect USB cable and go to adb shell (we're gonna backup the original lib first):
#cd system
#cd lib
#mv libsqlite.so libsqlite.so.orig
#exit
Make sure you're in the same directory as libsqlite.so, or copy the .so to the dir where adb is (if your var path isn't set). Then enter in command prompt:
adb push libsqlite.so /system/lib
adb shell
#cd system
#cd lib
#chmod libsqlite.so 640
Then reboot

Thanks for your assistance with this it's appreciated. However, pushing it via adb didn't work for me either.
I have a full mybackup of data and .apk files. There is no error when I try to restore the missing applications, mybackup confirms it's been done and requests I reboot, but the application is never there.....
Any more ideas?
That seems to be unrelated, issue was only about data in the apps, app restore worked. I suggest trying to backup with Titanium backup and try to restore with it.
So: Im sure you kept the nandroid backup with all the apps and data. Restore it, pull free version of Titanium off the Market and backup some apps. Flash Oxygen (you can replace the .so file with opening oxygen.zip in Winrar and replacing it in /system/lib) then try restoring the apps. If it works, you'll know the issue is with MyBackupPro.

I like your thinking... I did indeed keep the nandroid backup, so I'll give it a whirl.
Thank you.
Great. Solved the problems I had with Titanium.
Hi there,
I already searched about this but i cant really find anything useful to me.
The problem is: I have a HTC Desire and everytime I change rom from new sense he restore my old apps from the old roms.... How can i stop that auto installation? Its so annoying.
Best Regards!

U mean google's automatic backup?
Settings>Privacy>Backup Settings
Either the previous post or are you using an EXT partition for data2sd? If so, you will have to format that partition in between flashing roms.
If you flash new roms, you should do a full wipe. All installed should be deleted with this action.

Yes, I am talking about google's automatic backup...
I was already there before but I just dont want apps restore... i want contacts from google :\
And "Automatic Restore" disabled solves this?
Are these google apps or apps you installed yourself which reinstall themselves?

What was told: Do a full wipe before flashing a rom. With this action the /data partition and ext partition (and some other partitions, but these two are the were apps will be installed) will be formatted. Now apps should not install "themselves". A solution for now:
Manually uninstall the apps which reinstalled themselves.
And you can turn google's automatic backup off . You get the google contacts from syncing with google account (settings>accounts & sync). I also turned off this automatic backup, sync on the described way and i have all my google contacts on my phone. Furthermore, i (would) backup myself with titanium backup + nandroid + sms backup & restore.

I always do full wipes when I install roms... I think that the problem is that sense or something saves downloaded apps and it downloads again the apps.

Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
- Text and multimedia messages
- Settings in the Messages application
- Web bookmarks
- Keyboard dictionary
- Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
Wireless & networks
Sound & display
Location
Applications
Date & time
Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
I really dont understand how dont u all have this problem.. even the background desktop picture is there after another rom install >_>
still searchin more ideas :\
Now i am finished with my knowledge. Sorry. It sounds so strange that apps reinstall themselves.
sad thanks by the way
any1 with an idea about this?
bump help
The only way I have found is as soon as you've gone through the setup process on initial boot with a new ROM, rush to Settings > Applications, then terminate Market application and clear its data. It stops it autodownloading the apps again.
Then I install what i want using Titanium Backup, and then I run Market. It does a "first start" user agreement thing and you're all back to normal, without the market redownloading apps you downloaded under previous ROMs.
Not a brilliant solution but better than nothing.

Whenever I change Rom I don't add my Google account in the initial setup. Before u do that, go settings , privacy, backup/restore. The auto restore option is ticked but greyed out so u cant select it. Tick auto backup box, de select auto restore, and deselect auto backup again. Now it should'nt restore anything...
Bonjour,
I've got a problem with this rom.
I've installed it with this link (http://www.cooldevs.com/archives/120), and just after it, flash:
- Stock_Hboot.zip
- RcTweaks For Stock Hboot
- Weather Pack
Reboot...
There was few decreasements in comparaison of InsertCoin, but the more annoying is the new Market which bug.
He try to restore me all apps (I don't know if it's linked to my problem)
I fell asleep during restauration of all apps andat wake up, I saw that few apps didn't ben restored.
- So I tried to restore them but impossible : I had an download error which was impossible to resolve even with delete the cache of Market application, wipe dalvik cache (executing the script which migrate it to sd-ext on the way). I precise that is was not a problem of space of my ext4.
- A second message at startup which tells me ""your phone is using more current than the charger is able to deliver...". For the moment, I never had this message (maybe it's because it's a pure Sense 3 rom I don't know...)
- In the way, I'm asking if there is a way to prevent Market to restore all apps at startup...because it's very penible if I have many applications, and I prefer to choose myself what I'd like to restore (if it's linked lso to my market problem...)
Edit : Even when restoring my rom, I've problem now with my market. Maybe it's the conversion on the fly of my ext3 partition to ext4 (to test the new rom) with 4ExtRecovery which has problem. So I return to recovery, check partition alignement which tell me that my fat32 is not properly aligned. I wipe partition table to rebuild all and I give you some news.
Edit 2: It changes nothing...now my market of my first rom don't work anymore...
Thanks a lot
OK, partition your card properly first and flash your new rom. Then during setup when you link your account to your phone, click you don't want it backed up and restored, remove both ticks. Then you hold power button and turn airplane mode on. You finish setup, push Titanium backup on your phone and restore your apps. Now you turn airplane mode off and the Market won't be downloading anything anymore. If you don't have TB backup, you're screwed mate. You can't abort silly Google restore nor you can choose what to install, flush list or do anything with it. It completely whacks a concept of having a clean install and that is the reason I hate ports even more. I know this is at best a workaround and not a solution, but probably you won't get anything better.

Ok, Thanks I'll try that for the future if I want to re install a new Rom but why I've this problem even in restoring my old rom?
And the most strange is that the problem is there also with my old HTC Hero under Cyanogen :-(.
Thanks.
Hi,
my prob has started a few days ago..
After an App update my device has always done a reboot but only the fast boot from where the boot logo starts.
After device restarting the update hasnt installed and the App is no longer to find in "my apps". (49 out of about ~70 Apps )
Ok. ROM Manager and fix permissions .. (49Apps available ..)
Titanium Backup Market Doctor and fixed all Market Links .. (NONE app available! see screenshot)
Done a Nand-Backup but the same screen without any app nothing changed ..
Flashed a ROM update.. none apps
Settings -> Apps -> Market -> Delete Data.. none app..
reinstalled vendor.apk.. nothing changed
when i hit www.market.android.com in my Browser i can see all my downloaded apps but not in the Market?!
Now I'm perplexed.. probably anyone else got an idea?
I hope that I do not need to do a full wipe
Im on
CM7.2 RC0 from here http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/bravo/
s-off
Although it's against your hope, I recommend to do a FULL WIPE, reflash rom and restore apps. But backup all apps with Titanium Backup before (and maybe WiFi Access Points).
Have you tried installing some random app from the market? Simple install always solved missing apps issue for me.

same **** after wipe and restoring apps...
dont know what to do..
@erklat yes i have tried it.
Try using old market (2.3.6):
http://bit.ly/nQtuzp (Copied link from Meaple's sig)
After downloading, rename your current version to e.g. vending1.apk, move the download market to /system/app, rename it to vending.apk and set right permissions:
Check "read" for User, Group and Other, check "write" only for user and let execute completely unchecked. Now reboot and see what happens.
