ACS 1.0.2 Auto Backup/Restore - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Under the Syndicate ROM 1.0.2 changelog it mentions it has added automatic backup/restore. What exactly is it backing up/restoring?
I lov this ROM but seems every 3 days it starts to FC where I need to flash again.

It backs up your apps and data then restores it after the flash

What.mystery said. It saves all your data/app and.puts it.on your SD card and then.flashes the.rom and restores it. You can look at the file on your SD card when.it boots up.

Make sure you are waiting for your phone to completely power off before removing the battery. With the no jounaling on EXT4 this will cause data corruption. It is most likely why you are getting the FC's

Actually both times I was playing games on my phone when the games errored out and fc. Then my email would fc directly after opening. When receiving a call I would get the framework fc. Games were asphalt and sniper. flashing again cleared those up. Hopefully it will happen less often

How do I use this backup... I was using ACS Rom, and I saw that there was a backup file. I reflashed EB13, tried out Viper, then I reflashed ACS. My apps were not restored. Is there something I am missing?

In order to use this feature you.don't wipe at all when you do to.flash the rom. Doesn't.matter if your coming from another rom.or not. Just select install from SD card and select acs rom. It will then.flash the.rom by first backing up your data to your SD card. Then it tunes your system and flashes the rom and then.it restores everything it placed on the sd card

No My Files App / Won't play MP3s or Ringtones
Hi I'm new to all of this, but since I rooted my Epic 4g and flashed the ACS ROM I notice that it didn't had a My Files App and with any other file manager my MP3s wont play it just says file type not found. Other than that the ROM is awesome, fast and efficient. Hope you can help me with that.

this feature backs up all apps and their settings correct? like even contacts app and settings?

[Q] Market Issues

I'm on market version 2.3.6. Running gingerbread leak. Most of the time, no apps will download. They stay at "starting download..." And when I click on them while they're stuck at that step, I get "download failed, please try again." Every once in a while it works but its randomly.
The market is one thing that I can't stand. It necessary works. Does anybody know what I should do?

try fixing the permissions on rom manager if you have it
Mine does the same thing at times. Try wiping your Market data under Menu>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market and see if that helps. Like you said, it's a random thing, especially if you are using a custom market from a custom ROM. The stock ROMs I've used don't seem to have this issue.
that doesnt fix it. The 2.3.6 market isnt custom though. it was pushed to my phone...
i think it was the rom though. i nandroided back to 3.70 and it hasnt had any issues. same market version.

Rydah did you try to move all your apps and delete the android_secure folder? Seems strange that when you did a nandroid back it was fine. Try going back to that nandroid and move all the apps that are stored on the sd card over to the phone. Then browse with a file explorer and delete the android_secure folder and reboot. Then you can move them all back to your sd once rebooted. I've had to do this a few times after flashing new roms because that folder gets corrupted.

Sounds like you will need to Odin in a stock or prerooted ROM and start again if CWM has errors. It could be a bad sd card too. You can put it in a computer, copy everything, format it in the phone in CWM and then put it back in the computer and restore everything.

so if the card is bad?would that mean the photos would be error to right?

Not necessarily. There just may be some bad areas or memory reads on it. Copy everything to your computer and view your photos. They are probably fine. They are in the DCIM folder.

I like to use titanium backup, some people prefer my backup root. They both work good. If you aren't sure if an app is safe to remove, try freezing it with titanium for a while and see if it causes any issues before fully uninstalling. Do a full backup of all apps first so you can restore them in the future easily.

how do i freeze apps
I think you need titanium backup pro to freeze. I can't remember if my backup root allows you to freeze or not. Just click on an app in titaium and you should see the freeze option.

If you mean the phone storage, get rid of Asphalt. Then go into manage applications and send all to USB storage (or sd card) that can be sent. You can then sort them by size and decide if you want to nuke some that won't go the your sd card. Tango refused to go and was 20MB...bye bye!
thanks for all that. so how can i free up my system rom and internal?
Go to settings>applications>manage applications and go to every listing and move every app that is not greyed out to sd/usb storage. Then what won't move decide if it is worth keeing. For example Tango was 20MB and would not move and is a POS so uninstall it goes.

Many apps not working after a TiBu restore?

Hey guys.
I'm coming from a HTC One XL on att. Before switching over, I made a TiBu backup of all my user apps, created a flashable package, then flashed it on my GN2 with TWRP. I'm currently using the Jedi rom and any accompanying kernel it came with.
Many of my apps are now FCing. Some don't even launch, the restored apps at least. I tried wiping my caches and fixing permissions but it didn't help at all.
A lot of these apps have data that I don't want to lose from a clean install. Does anyone know what I can do to get em working?
Thanks!

I encountered this same issue when making a flashable zip from TB before moving from the stock ROM to The Hybrid ROM on my GN2. I flashed the ROM and then my TB zip via TWRP and upon boot I had 2 instant FCs and a lot of my apps didn't have their data associated with them. I found that by restoring the original native TB backup files using the TB app fixed the FCs and the certain apps that didn't have the backed up data now had it.
So, I'm not sure what the issue is with flashable TB zips on this device (or maybe it's only touchwiz based roms?) but the above is a work around.

Meh. I guess I'm going to have to try that when I get home from work.
Apps like Angry Birds Space don't even launch anymore, and some apps launch and work until I come to a certain segment and then they crash.
I unfortunately still have the original backup on my HOXL, so I guess I'm gonna grab it from there. All you did was restore data only, correct?
The exact steps I took after rebooting and still getting the FCs and missing data was a "Restore>Restore all apps with data" via TiBu and then a reboot for good measure, everything has worked with no issues since.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Ah alright, that's what I thought it would be. I definitely have to go try this when I get home.
Does anyone know if the .zip file TiBu creates is essentially the same format as a normal backup once it's extracted? Maybe I can extract it at work, then follow your steps?
It's probably better to just take a new backup on my old phone and use that though...lol
FCs are generally the result of improper permissions... did you try to fix permissions to see if that solved the FC? Perhaps the TiBU zip restore function does not reset/reverify correct permissions, while doing this from TiBU directly does... just a thought.
Yes, I tried fixing the permissions in TWRP, didn't do a thing :/
I had the same problem. I think I what I ended up having to do was install all of the apps (apps only!) by making a CWM flashable update.zip in TiBU, then restoring all of the data in TiBU. It was a pain in the ass getting all of my apps and data moved over from my old phone, which is surprising because TiBU usually works like a charm.
The thing is, my TiBu restore zip has apps + data.
If I just made a new backup on my old phone, and used that backup to restore all data (no apps) on the GN2, will it overwrite the old data? I'd hope it does.

[Q] playstore apps

I'm still a noob about this phone so bare with me. I've recently flashed the Jedi X rom on and am loving it. I am having issues with some of the apps on the play store telling me that "Insufficient storage available" and cant download it. I do have a 32g microsd along with the the romtoolbox pro to have all my apps downloaded to the sd card. My apps show that its used only 703mb. If someone can help me solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
You install your apps onto the device and that part is called the sdcard. Your micro sd 64 gb is called externalsdcard. You probably didnt wipe your system data and/or backed up your phone using reovery onto your phone and didnt delete other stuff. Try going through your phone using the file manager as well as connecting it to the computer and youll find that your phone still has data on it that you didnt wipe. Think if it as you uninstalled the program but failes to delete the saved data and downloaded files. Hopes this helps

It's a bug that I dealt with yesterday. Your phone has plenty of storage but no matter what you do it won't install. Try going into recovery wiping caches and fixing permissions. Then try wiping data from play store and googlr frameworks setvices in your app settings. If that doesnt work,per google you're looking at a system format or do what i did and restore a nand backup.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I figured it out. Thanks for all the tips though. I am running rom toolbox pro and had my apps going to the sd. I switched it to auto and it worked like a charm. However, I did switch my rom to clean rom and everything seem to work better there. Thanks again.

[Q] Is anyone having App Restore Issues with Titanium Backup??

I Cannot restore an App (any App) AND I Cannot restore an App+Data using TB Pro version 6.0.2.1
I have been trying for a few days now. I have waited up to 20 minutes for Restores to complete. They DON'T. It just hangs. I have to use the phones Task manager to End Titanium Backup.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing TB several times with no luck..
The funny thing is If I download the App, I am trying to restore, from the Playstore I CAN restore that Apps data from the Backup I have in TB.. Restoring Data isn't an issue.
I have never had this problem with TB and I have been using it for years. Any Ideas on this?
I'm not having this issue with TB but try and clear data of TB by going into Application Manager. Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying AddisG,
Wiping Data did not work. I tried several times and also rebooted after a couple of times. I also wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in TWRP Recovery. Doing that did not work also.
I noticed that even after uninstalling TB App and TB Pro Key the TB folder is still on my sdcard so when I re-install TB it uses the same "old" folder so I deleted the folder to get a "fresh start". That did not fix my issue either.
This is very perplexing. I have NEVER had an issue with TB before and it is now apparent that no other users are having this issue...
I'm running; teshxx T889UVALL4 Deodexed ROM (debloated by me) only MOD I've done is flash foreverloco [Theme] ASOP UALL4..
I am NOT suggesting the ROM or MOD (everything is running fine) is the issue, I'm just giving info... Could I have debloated something TB needs to perform it's restore operation?.. I must have borked something somewhere... Hopefully I can figure out what I did wrong so I can post it here and solve this Thread.
Have you tried pointing the app back to your sd card? Normally it uses internal storage but since you said tb folder is on sd card the app just isn't seeing it.
Sometimes just rebooting helps the app load the files.

SOLVED!
My issue was that I needed to clear data in the Play Store App and accept Terms and get signed back in.
After doing that I went into TB's settings and used the Market Doctor option to re sync my user apps..apparently TB uses the App to be reinstalled Play Store link.
Thanks to all who replied.
