[Q] CM7 (TB) Wont restore data after build 17?

Hello All,
Background info:
Cyanogenmod 7 , Nightly #17, 1/27/11 is what I currently have
Most Updated Titanium Backup
Tried this on Build #18 and #20.
Basically after I install the 18 or 20 I get no errors. I then go to Titanium Back up and restore my apps. (Only apps , no system data )
Is anyone else having this issue or is this all on my end and if so i'll be investigating further.
THanks!
Kyle
EDIT: I Have forgot to mention that yes I did do a Back Up before i installed it. I have done this everyday but until 18 and 20 this is arose >.<

Well I'm not sure if you did, because you didn't specify, but did back up the data as well? Because there is a backup all apps and a backup all apps with data option, the second is about 6 boxes down from the first option. That seems to be the problem. I hope this helps any...

Well I'm saying on the titanium backup, make sure to check the 4th option to back system data and apps. You can always check you SD card to make sure its there. I do the same and able to keep my data, also when you flash a build you don't have to wipe the data and cache, because it just updates since its technically an update.

And when you restore, you run the backup and restore all apps and data? And what data is missing, like the adw launcher settings, ect?

among other things like my twitter login and facebook and my vlc ****, though my ADW ex is still there which seems odd

i also cant open my market :/

additionally i get a error saying Google talk authentication failed...
Swype wont restore itself anymore, some apps like FB did restore the data this time, VLC did not, twitter didnt, my market is borked.
Not complaining, just seeing if anyone else has had issues?

Well wow, I don't know what to say. I would say try to re-flash your google gaps, and flash the newest set. I had some issues with older versions. I will keep trying to look into it.
link to google apps: http://www.mediafire.com/?qgt15ftd3gdby6v

yup i flashed what was in the clockwork mod file just now, 1/15/11, ill use this set to see what happens. It seems like my phone isnt linking to google since my icons are grayed out instead of color in the notifications bar

Yea, it doesn't seem like it is linking. But let me know what happens.

kk, installing now, ill let you know ^_^

no good, "Google Talk Authentication failed" App market closes on opening, my power widgets i notcied reset to stock CM7
This is all bad but i CANT complain
ima revert back to my old build i think for #17 i did a back up of it just in case 20 didnt work

That really sucks man. I know it isn't the google apps because I'm using the same package. The last thing I can think of [that worked for me] is try to go back to build 20, use titanium backup to restore your apps, JUST the apps, no data, restore. It should work. Then backup all your apps and data and backup your rom.

[Q] restore apps from market after full wipe

Hi all I got this problem and it happened only once that after a full wipe, my apps has been reinstalled by theirself when i booted up for 1st time.
now it is not happening anymore and when i do full wipe, i have to remember all the apps io downloaded and reinstall them again.
is there a solution? dont tell me to use titanium bck please cos android should do that automatically! thanks
i looked around on found this, same problem different "phone" but none solutions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117511

What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it

thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

Have you installed them like new, or have you restored them? That could be a problem with going from Gingerbread to ICS. Also there is a GPS patch in the development thread. Why don't you give that a go? You might need to reinstall them from scratch again. If that doesn't work with Swype, then they probably haven't updated it to handle 4.0.3. I have the same ROM too. Everything is great, but the gallery and camera fc's and charging is slow as hell and the battery drains quickly.

tried that
i tried to download from the website but it needs you to uninstall swype first. and i can't uninstall cause it's preinstalled. Because im new to this i don't know how or if you can uninstall a preinstalled app.

You would have to use titanium backup or root explorer to erase a system app

Ohhh that's why. Okay... Go into the Play Store and download Titanium Backup. I think you can do this with the free version. Open it and at the top you should see Overview, Backup/Restore, and Schedules. Hit Backup/Restore and scroll down until you see "swype........" Tap it and hit uninstall. After that, try install your new swype.

AWESOME
AWESOME. Thanks guys you were really healpful. I used the titanium backup (free) and was able to uninstall. Finally able to swipe again
So do you guys have any tips on getting my location to lock when using maps. it's not that it's is slow it just doesnt lock me in at all.

I personally prefer Root Uninstaller with my rooted phones to get rid of system apps and bloatware!

Google auto backup/reinstall of apps

Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.

Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?

I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao

Very unusual "system data" storage behaviour!

I have a completely stock phone & I was using nova launcher from day one but I turned back to the default launcher today and noticed a strange data in the 'shelf'. It was showing that I have low %age of storage left. At first I thought it must be a bug but then after some time I checked the storage in settings and thereafter confirmed this using the app "DiskUsage".
Could anyone help me out here? Kindly have a look at the screenshot I'm attaching.
In short, System data is using 27.3 GB of storage!!!
I suspect it may be due to the flash that I did some time back when I returned to complete stock from a rooted OnePlus 3. Though I followed the official website instructions.
Thanks guys for reading this message & I know someone out there will know about this as I'm not that lucky to encounter a completely unique bug :good:

Latest build should fix this.. If not do a clean install and stay on the latest build. Also if the issue persists try to move to EXT4. F2fs still has loads of weird issues..

Well, I got my latest .5 update yesterday and sadly it didn't solve it so I guess I have to format my phone again. Man, that's really a pain in the A. By the way, is this a common occurrence in OnePlus 3 software?
As far as ext and f2fs is concerned, I don't remember manually formatting my phone to f2fs so I guess it was nougat update which did this!
Thanks man!

Don't know... I haven't seen this issue yet..

hmm, I'll wait till the O update for a clean install as setting up few particular apps (mostly banking & two-factor authentication) is really a boring/huge task for me, plus few apps have just NO backup solution like the now-defunct but awesome keyboard Fleksy, Adguard user filters. I really think Android needs a good global backup function to sync basic things like android settings, SMS, Call logs.
Meanwhile, if anyone know a solution which doesn't include formatting the phone, please do tell me !

I dont really have a clue about titanium backup. Used it once way back when I had Galaxy Note 1.
I remember, it's UI was very complex and had a big learning curve but despite all this, isn't titanium backup a root only app?

Oh right. It is a root only app... Try using rom settings backup from play store, coupled with sms backup and restore.. Does most of the job

Sorry to break it to you but even Rom Settings Backup is root only
but thank you for telling me about this app, may come in handy if I go back to root.
and yes, I did know about the SMS and call log backup, I'm more concerned about the few specific apps like Fleksy keyboard app.
Thank you for your reply.
