[Q] Ringtones GB EF02 leak? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having an issue with assigning ringtones for my epic. I am running the EF02 leak with the EF10 modem. I have rebooted a few time.. but when trying to assign it vibarates twice pause and vibs again (basic FC vibs) and locks up and sometimes reboots.. I did uninstall the DRM content apps and was giving me like 21 hours of battery life.. I had a maybe 50 to 60 text and some GPS use.. few FB uploads etc.. anyways.. as of right now this is the only problem I am having.. I backed up the files(DRM related) before removing with titainum back up.. readded the DRM app and still getting the same error. The other files seem to be a .tar file(i am thinking that you would need odin for this.. not sure). This is with custom ringtones and system ringtones..hope you can help.. thanks!!

well it is a leak and leaks usually imply some instability!!

That's not typical with EF02. Typically random FCs are caused by restoring incompatible data from an older release or restoring an apk that needs to be installed from scratch. I've read about similar problems from people who have restored data with Titianium Backup, and a few of the apks I restored using MyBackup Root had to be deleted and installed from scratch to get things working right.
I'm using EF02 with custom ringtones in the sdcard/media/ringtones and sdcard/media/notifications directories without a problem. They are both mp3 and wav files.
It's also possible that if you restored an app that has a hook into ringtones that could be the problem. Try deleting apps that you restored and installing them from scratch instead.

Equalizer "Sound Effects Currently Not Available"

Has anyone been getting the Sound Effects Currently Not Available text when trying to change the equalizer settings?
Never had this problem in the nordic rom or stock, running the .42 rom
I know i can get winamp or poweramp but i really like the stock music app
Anyone have any ideas?
Hmm nope works fine and dandy for me.
Say... you wouldn't happen to have frozen someting with titanium backup that is needed for it to function?

I think it's an app TBH, because all was fine with the music player until i used titanium to restore all my backed up apps
I've been hearing that when restoring apps with titanium that if you restore user data also, things can go bad. So I personally just always restore app only.
But maybe that's got noting to do with it in your case.
Could be titanium backup, i've tried deleting data files related to equalizers and replaced the music.apk with the one found in the latest firmwares .ftf, no joy. Someone's gotta know what's going on.
I think i figured it out, it might help someone in the future, after 4 .ftf flashes and countless factory resets it was either volume+ or adfree's backup in titanium backup.
I finally restored apps + data on games and stuff that didn't require root access, then i re-downloaded from the market the root apps that i had one by one restarted my phone after each install and checked equalizer settings until i got to adfree and volume +, i don't really need any of them now I've found alternatives but i'm pretty sure one of them is to blame when you restore them with data.

Troubles with EK02

Hello!
Since Yesterday I tried install EK02 few times. Everything good until I'm restoring data. Then I'm getting reboots by itself every 2 or 3 minutes and I can feel the device getting very hot.
I have no idea what causing the problem. Well, maybe only one idea I have. It might be some apps which is not compatible with 2.3.6 and messes up everything.
Question. How can I find this app if I have more than 200 installed apps on the device?
Maybe somebody have this problem too? If yes, can we contact somehow and try to find what is going on?
I've installed only stock roms. Installed from scratch.
Please, guys, I really need your advice?
Thank you!
Are you restoring data from a 2.3.4 setup? Also, unless you go through and re-install the apps from the market individually, it may be hard to pinpoint the exact issue

Restoring system apps across different frameworks can cause undesirable results. I bet that's what your doing.
How many apps are you restoring. I found that if you have more than 50 apps on SD Card (apps2SD) it will cause hot reboots on EK02. This did not occur on EG30., I downgraded back to EG30 and kept the modem on EK02.
Does updating to EK02 remove your apps?
If you are using the OTA "patch" updates, no it won't remove any of your apps.
If you use the "full" EK02 updates, it'll remove the apps you have in /system but preserve the apps you have in /data (ie most of your apps)
Yep. And don't restore data.

I just started fresh and it took me about 45 minutes to get on a full EK02 setup and re-install all apps from the Market. If you take the time to start fresh, you will have less headaches in the long run

[Q] Constant FC from multiple android processes... wth?

So... after flashing MikG v3.0 and trying it out for a day (not that this is related to mikg rom), I went back to Synergy RLS1. EVO FC's android processes now. Media, Market vendor, or Mail. Just whichever it feels like FCing.
I've wiped all data, cleared my SD card of ghost folders, Flashed and reflashed. Still doing it. Also, I notice that my gallery and music apps take forever to load the mp3s and pics now possibly an SD read error? I've been running Synergy since June and not had this problem before.
Any ideas?
I don't know of any other options, unless it is an app that is causing all this (which I have no new apps that I haven't had in the last month(s))
Has this happened before to anyone >_>?
VERY Annoying. Can't use the phone for constant !FORCE CLOSE! windows
Did u restore any app data from backing up between roms?

Thank you for your reply!
Nope. Not unless it has done it natively. Though, all my apps do download automatically after flashing Synergy.
How might I clear this?
I have Titatnium back up, though I don't use it. And astro, but I don't use the backup features on it either.
In titanium when u choose batch restore select app only, try reflashing fresh don't restore from Google restore apps only thru tibu and see if you still get the FC issue, I'm not 100% sure but I think Google adds app data with the backup and some apps data cause issues between roms I've had issues both from sense to sense and from sense to aosp or vice versa from app data causing errors in processes and force closing random apps or processes

[Q] How to install new ROM w/o losing app configurations?

I have Titanium backup, but any time I recover apps/data, I often end up in a force-close storm, if not immediately, then eventually. I'd really like to get all my apps back in place without this issue whenever I install a new ROM. There's a whole lot of custom configuration that I have to repeat over and over again. What's worse is I'll first recover all apps/data w/ TB, and then it will work for some time, and then it breaks down into an FC storm and I end up having to install all the apps from market, and reconfiguring everything manually again. Then why did I pay for TB pro?!
What am I missing? Are some apps more prone to causing problems when recovering the old data into a fresh ROM?
I honestly never have your problems. Even data from GB to ICS.
My method is, restore missing apps with data. so that leaves only system apps left. And there isn't much configuration needed with those anyway in my experience.

hmm... that appears to have worked. I must have been reloading system data, and borking the databases by mixing old/new. Thank you very much, sir.
P.S.: Dat ass!
No matter what app you use to restore your list, just restore the apps only, don't restore the data as it usually does not work across different os versions. All you need to do after the apps restore is log into the ones with accounts.. The only time I have had FC issues is if I try and restore data from a previous is version..

Ive never relied on TB but i have used my backup root and i have reloaded apps just fine when it comes to data thats where you can run into FC. I know it sucks dude but when it comes to running ICS a clean install is the way to go apps included . Shortcuts give you problems always

[Q] Working App for Backup when Switching Roms?

I've tried a couple of backup programs to restore all my data and apps when switching between roms and running into problems. I still haven't gotten one backup program to work yet.
I'm currently on ICS from the Skyrocket ported version I think. I've used TB and Backup to backup all my data and apps.
Luckily I've completely backed everything up using CWR.
Tried switching to Juggernaut rom and used the programs to restore all the data and apps and both programs ran into errors and I couldn't bring back any of my personal stuff.
I do also have a Google account so yes my contacts, calender, etc is backed up that way but it doesn't do the SMS, logs, etc.
I will say it, yes I have downloaded apps that aren't paid for but I doubt that's the issue that it's not working right for restoring. Never had issues with this on my iPhone before switching to my Galaxy S2 T-Mobile.
Any help as to why and how to get some app to work properly so I can switch Roms. This one sucks really bad IMO. There's no tethering, some apps don't work which I can't see anything not working on the S2, and it crashes too much for my liking.
Try titanium backup but remember. If you wipe your SD and internal memory it will be gone.
It could be some apps aren't compatible but all my apps worked.

I would suggest giving ROM Toolbox a shot... although I have never had any issues using Titanium Backup for what you are trying to accomplish. It sounds like something was corrupted during the initial backup process and that is what is preventing the restoration.
