Problems After Restoring to Stock - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After using the Optimized Shift ROM for about a week, I felt like I was ready to return to the stability of the stock ROM, so I restored to Froyo/Sense 1.0 this evening. I used Titanium Backup to re-install my data after the factory reset, and most everything worked well. However, I have found that the HTC weather app cannot detect my current location (GPS is on and every other GPS-using app works fine), and no HTC wallpapers are showing up in the wallpaper selection app.These are both minor issues, and I'm sure they have something to do with Titanium Backup (since the weather widget worked before I restored apps and data), so is there anything I can do?
Thanks.
EDIT: The weather widget is sort of working now - my weather is showing up on the widget, but if I tap on the weather, my current location weather does not show up in the full app.
EDIT 2: And now the widget has completely stopped working again.

Did you flash a different radio while you were on the other rom?

No, I did not.

I'd try doing a full wipe and restoring/reflashing the rom without using titanium to restore. While it is convenient, it seems like it causes more issues than its worth. Are you restoring any app or system data? And did you wipe everything before going back to the stock rom?

I've had this issue before. I did a PRL update (*22899) and after my phone rebooted it was working. Give that a try.

Titanium backup + 2.2 Leak = FAIL

I just updated to the leaked Froyo Rom. Before doing so, I backed up using Titanium. Then, once the Rom was installed, I did a restore of "all applications and system settings." But for some reason, all my homescreen settings did not return. For example, on one Homescreen, I had the Touchdown Calendar widget, which has now been replaced by the HTC mail widget.
What happened to my homescreens and all the widgets I had arranged on them? Argh, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen!!!!!
Edit: And it didn't restore any of my SMS messages either!!!! Where is everything?
Edit #2: Also, all of my Stock data, Facebook setup, Twitter setup is all empty. I thought this was all supposed to restore with Titanium. I used "backup all apps and system data" before moving to this ROM.
not a good idea to restore data if you were coming from any 2.1 rom

There is nothing wrong with Titanium, unless you want to argue that it should be programmed with even more features than it already has to prevent you from being able to do what you did. You restored settings and configurations that were from a different system version, and things didn't work right -- no surprise there.
I don't know what you can do about your SMS backups (I have never saved any), but as for the rest you probably need to bite the bullet. Wipe, re-flash the ROM, then set everything up again from scratch and if you are going restore old stuff with TI, stick to apps this time.
Good luck!
Worked great for me...but I only do apps and make sure to unchecked what I don't want

You never want to restore system files from one version of a rom to another, it can only create problems.

If I've already lost the data/setup settings, why would I Wipe, re-flash, and set up everything from scratch. It's not like 2.2 is crashing after I did the Titanium restore, I'm just missing my SMSes and my home screen arrangement.

Whatever floats your boat. Personally I wouldn't trust the integrity of the system after doing what you did, and would want to *know* that everything was proper before calling it a day.

For future reference, 'SMS Backup & Restore' is a much better option for backing up your SMS messages. Never rely on Titanium Backup for SMS backups.

I used SMS backup and restore, but for 2nd time since I've had it, I didn't realize the scheduled backups just stopped occurring for no reason. So I lost my SMSes from the past couple weeks. Must be a bug in the program.
use launcherpro home app. it has an option to backup and restore all your icons and homescreen settings (minus widgets due to system limitations)
anytime im wiping and installing, i do a couple things
1. backup apps thru titanium then verify backed up apps
2. backup homescreen and settings thru launcher pro
3. drocap2 all my home screens so i can resetup my widgets
4. nandroid
all 4 items happen everytime, I have little worry about ever losing my settings.

Did you do a nandroid backup like you should do before every single wipe of your phone? No?
Well if you did then you would be able to go into ClockworkMod Recovery -> nandroid -> advanced recovery -> restore data. When you reboot the phone EVERYTHING will be exactly just like you left it on your previous 2.1 installation. I have done this and have not had one single problem. Not one single thing is in a different place then it was when I was using 2.1. All my text messages, call logs, home screen widgets, ect. are there.

I did use Nandroid, but I want to move to 2.2. Is there any way to move to 2.2 without losing the system data? If the answer is "no," I don't understand. What happens when HTC releases the official version, do they expect people to delete all their apps, homescreens, etc every time an update is released?

i used titanium backup for apps+system settings going from skyraider 1.9 to 2.0 and i ran into very small problems like getting my wallpaper to load and being able to restore my adw settings. As far as i can see so far no big deal
i used mybackup pro to back up apps+data then my home screens, sms, dictionary and a few other things. pretty much had my phone exactly the way it was when i had it running 2.1
he's not totally alone
Some slack should be cut for the OP as he's not alone in the widget issue. I have used TB for ages now perfectly ok to swap apps and info from my 2 x10's. But this last time I have ended up with a home screen that has "missing" widgets. The screen space is allocated so I can't replace them but the widget doesn't show or work. I have put this down to the 2 phones not have.g the same home screen layout, but is bloody annoying as now I can't reclaim this space!!

[Q] Can Titanium Backup restore your homepages with a new ROM

I am on DamageControl right now and I want to try the VirusRom.
I already searched the forums. For some reason search never takes me to a post just a thread. Telling me the words Titanium Backup are in a 600+ page thread does not help.
I know I can restore App with the batch function but I am not sure what setting or app I need to backup to restore the icons and the location of those Icons back to the homepages.

When it TB says system data is that like low level stuff that might conflict with code in a new rom. Or when I install a new ROM should I restore missing apps+ all system data to get back up to where I was before.
So If I do a Titanium backup of just Apps and assuming I have launcher pro and did a backup. When I install the new ROM will restore my apps would I then go into launcher pro and do a restore there and everything is like it was before - the internal code changes the new ROM puts in place?

Well not exactly, Widgets currently are broken. if you back up with launcherpro it will save your homepages/settings of launcher pro however all the widgets will be broken and need to be removed and re placed. If you back up your apps and app data you can then restore the app+ app data and your apps should function as normal but low level system stuff wont. (contacts can be re synced through Google)
over all i have not had many problems using titanium back up with system info restore on like roms (ie 2.2 to 2.2, or 2.1 to 2.1) I have had a few issues that i have worked out going form 2.1 to 2.2 and vice versus or switching from sense to aosp roms.
I am sure there is the potential for problems restoring system data but for me it has been few and far between unless switching to different rom styles as indicated above with different os version or if going between sense and aosp.
my recommendation back up everything with titanium back up, back up through launcher pro. wipe/flash new rom restore all system+app+data. if you have issues you can always re-flash and not flash the system data. if you dont then you are good to go and you only have to replace your widgets.

In TB there is a backup called Desktop, i think it should be green. That is where your home page settings are stored. If you are flashing from a sense rom to a sense rom (with same software version, i.e. 2.1 or 2.2), there shouldn't be a problem restoring the Desktop settings. Like was mentioned earlier, widgets usually won't load correctly so you just delete them and reapply them.

Where's this located? I'm not seeing it in my version, and didn't even know it was supposed to be there (you learn something new every day). Could this be because I have the free version as opposed to the paid version?
if you go to the backed up files you will find it. it isnt a batch command. it is basically the tb file it saves the desktop settings to. when yuo look at all the files and settings yuo have backed up look for desktop and it should have a tb icon and yes it is green click it hit restore.

weird - don't seem to have any listing that says "desktop". Although I've only played around with TB a little, so maybe I didn't to the kind of backup that would have backed it up? I've always just restored apps from market one-by-one - and the only settings I save are things like call logs (I'm ocd like that). I think I did one "real" backup with TB ages ago, now I just use it to make sure that busybox is set up right.
Yeah I don't see a backup or anything called "Desktop". Can you point me to exactly where it is? I'm using the dontate version. What I do is restore all apps+data+system data and that seems to restore my homescreens. I usally have to do a reboot after the restore to get everything working and my widgets usally come back as well.
You have to keep scrolling down, it's not under 'D' it's under 'H'. This is exactly what mine is labed as: [Desktop] HTC Sense 1.00

What if the ROM has not a Sense interface?
For exampe I am using MIUI and updating the ROM every month.
By using TB and restoring ALL I can have my icons, widgets & layout back, nonetheless I am afraid that by restoring ALL (apps + systems data) I am writing over the new system improvements and somehow getting back to the "old" system.
Any advice on that?
For non-Sense (lol nonsense), uhh anyway, for non-sense Roms just find the home setup you are using and restore the Data...
For example I have touchwiz, so I go to restore touchwiz and do data only, and voila! desktop back to normal without all that annoying redo work
Thanks for the help guys
I tried looking under "H" and "D" but didn't fine it. So I read the entire thread again and I looked under "T" for Touchwiz (I'm using Echoe TW Rom presently) and there is was. After restoring it I have to add my BBC widget again, though. But that's minor. Thanks again guys!!!

[Q] How to keep homescreen settings with ROM change?

I'm running the stock deodexed 3.29 but want to try out some of the other ROMs out there.
I plan on doing a nand backup and a Titanium backup for my apps and app settings.
But, is there any way for me to save my homescreen settings and then apply them again once I've restored all my apps?
Titanium should backup all your icons and widgets as part of the launcher data. What launcher are you using?
Note that normal widgets can't be restored properly. They will show up in the right place, but it will be an error message instead of the actual widget, and you will have to remove and re-add them. I believe this is an Android limitation. The special LauncherPro widgets don't have this issue.
I'm just running stock Sense launcher, save for a couple Rosie/lockscreen mods.
It's just a pain in the butt to go back in and re-add all my quick contacts and icons. I swear I did a Titanium restore before when going from 3.26 to 3.29 deodexed, and it did not restore anything on my home screens (it went to full OEM stock homescreen setup). Not sure what I'm missing then.
It should be the [Desktop] HTC Sense option, IIRC. You might have to reboot after restoring to get it to show up.

Hmmm. It's currently backed up so I'm assuming it was last time I restored also. Well I'll give it a shot again and see what happens. Worst case, it takes me an extra few minutes to set things up.
It's a system app, so if you were just restoring user apps+data, it would've missed it. Other than that, I'm not sure. It's been a while since I used the stock Sense launcher and had to restore it.
Ok thanks.

Backuping before Super Wipe

Heya.
I want to backup my contacts, my SMSs and App Data before doing a super wipe and flashing a new rom. I'd also like to backup my phone settings and apps too, but that probably kinda removes some of the beneficial effects of the wipe.
I've used Titanium Backup to do these things before, but I've been getting more and more FCs that no one else using the rom have reported so I'm thinking my wiping hasn't been fully effective.
What are the best ways to backup these things? I want the backup methods to be easy to do and restore but should leave othing bad behind so I wouldn't get extra FCs.
Best for contacts: Google (?)
Best for SMS: ?
Best for App Data: ?
Thanks alot!

Before flashing a new rom be sure to do backups if you don't want to have problems. But also be aware that some programs may perform different on different ROMs because of kernel, sense ans no-sense roms etc. Some programs I backedup on some roms worked like charm and on some roms they FC, but after uninstall and instal from .apk program works again.
For program and DATA I use Titanium. You can restore only APP, Only DATA or both APP+DATA (which can restore high scores in games or program settings you set).
Titanium backup can also restore screens and system datas like Wi-Fi settings, accounts, SMS messages...... With that system data I found most problems because roms have a different versions of stock programs, and restoring data for facebook old version while backup is made on new version can be a problem. Happened to me. It is best if you restore system data to exact same rom or an updated version of last used rom (my experience).
Contacts you don't have to backup, at least i don't, because they will be pulled back to your phone when you set your google account.
I take screenshots of homescreen and app drawer, just in case that I don't forget something to install.
Full wipe you have to do when you completely moving from one rom to another. If you just upgrading you don't have to full wipe (only if it is necessary, but it will be written on home page of a rom developer). Every rom come with detailed instruction how to install. Some of them have application (.zip) to full wipe and format system. It there is such application you have to use it, if you want FC free DHD.
Hope it helps,
Thanks, looks good. Is it okay to move settings from older rom with older kernel and other things to a newer rom or can these cause force closes? How about app data, I'd like to keep my progress on few games for example, does backuping app data and moving them to a wiped fresh rom cause force closes?
Thanks!
EDIT: Didn't see the last post before this reply, it clears up stuff, thanks!

Pulling the battery out for the Nth time after 4.2 upgrade

I flashed my Galaxy Nexus last night to rooted 4.2 rom found here: http://goo.im/devs/bigxie/maguro/bigxie_maguro_OTA_JOP40C_odexed-signed.zip
The upgrade went smoothly. Not hiccups whatsoever. In less than 15 minutes I'm on 4.2 and rooted. I installed TitanumBackup, restored my apps/settings from my previous setup. That's when things started to go wonky:
First, HD widget doesn't work. It stuck in "loading...". I removed the widget, thinking that it might require an update from the devs.
Then, things started to become sluggish. I was on Nova Prime launcher. Very often it stops responding, and after a while, it shows the "Not responding...close/report/wait" dialog. I chose 'close' and the screen would go blank. I cannot wake it up using the power button or anything. I had to pull the battery out.
I thought it was the problem with the Nova launcher. After the restart, I switched to the stock launcher. It was noticeably faster, but when I launcher apps, even the App store, it would not respond again.
Does anyone have a similar experience?

Ahh that sucks man. I am not really a heavy user, but i am sure you are not the only with problems :fingers-crossed:
Especially from updated OS versions, only restore apps from TiBu. No data or system stuff. That's when problems start. Just restore apps no data, re-log in and see if problems persist.
Do a full wipe and try a different ROM. Or try that same ROM before restoring your apps and data. I haven't had any freezes or force closes since I flashed 4.2

If you did a Titanium Backup restore with Data you're going to need to do a complete wipe and re-flash. You can restore apps between different ROMs usually, but restoring data from one ROM to another different one is almost always going to give you trouble. Just do a clean install and restore app only, you should be good to go.

Before I flashed 4.2, I did both clean dalvik cache and clean data partition. I'm going to reflash this and only restore apps. Will it restore my settings if I chose not to restore data? I guess I'll find out.
No, unfortunately it isn't going to do any settings. Not sure how complex your setup is but I can usually have everything back to the way I like it in 20-30 minutes after a clean flash.

I thought that's the point of Titanium Backup. Maybe from 4.1.1 to 4.2 is too big a jump?
I did notice that on 4.2, the media partition is moved from /data/media to /data/sdcard/0. There are extra /data/sdcard/legacy and /data/sdcard/obb directories now. Not sure if it's related.

You can move or copy your /android/data and /data folders from sdcard/0 to your /sdcard folder and the apps should pick up their data again.
Definitely the problem has to do with titanium backup, I used to have those kind of issues before when I had my s2, I would recommend a fresh install of jelly bean 4.2 (factory image) and reinstall all the apps from your preferred markets.
You could try to fix permissions also, just to see if the forced closes stop

I did wipe out the dalvik cache. I ended up reflashed the ROM and only restore the app data one by one, skipping over the ones I suspect might be a problem. It's all running smoothly now.
