I often see people say not to restore app data with Titanium Backup when flashing a ROM, but I have never seen why. I always restore data, since I have some data that I refuse to lose, and everything seems to work fine. What would be different if I decided not to restore data? Would I get better performance, better battery life, or something else?
Basically, it just seems that people will experience force closes, reboots, and instability sometimes. Restoring system data between AOSP and sense roms is a big no-no for that reason. However, as long as you're staying clear of system apps, it seems like you can restore app data and be fine. If you're not having issues, don't worry about it. Wouldn't effect performance or battery life, so as long as you're stable, you've got nothing to worry about.

Things like that seem to be ok to restore app+data at least for me they have. (Knocking on wood) Never had any issues.

Just don't restore system apps

I don't know why but all of a sudden the apps i got from amazon are force closing??? They seem to be the only ones affected.
Anybody else having this problem?
I think it started happening when I turned off 3G and tried to open up zombies vs plants (amazon app of the day)... Do amazon apps send an authenticity signal every time you open it? hmmm...
i have an idea what's causing it... i believe it happens when i restore amazon downloaded apps with titanium backup...
And here I thought it was a memory issue. I can confirm that Amazon apps with data restored from Ti Backup crash out. I just wiped PvZ and reinstalled from the appstore without restoring the data (too bad cause I just got all the trophies on Monday) and it ran fine. I'm going to experiment to see if I can get the data to restore. We might want to post this bug to Ti Backup, so they can get on it too.
Yup... the problem is restoring apps+data. Uninstalling and then restoring just the app works though. Lost quiet a bit... that's too bad.
I updated TiBU to 3.8.5.2 and the change log mentioned a fix for restoring unencrypted data backups. I reinstalled PvZ, and then restored the data again. Sure enough, no FC.
This is kind of response time and service is why i had no qualms about paying for the Pro.
Just updated. Yup, titanium backup pro is a life saver!
I know this has been brought up multiple times before. I just don't understand it. Why do I get force closes on nearly every ROM i flash for epic 4g eg22? Can I update gapps or something to stop them? It gets fixes after a 3x wipe and rom flash for a day or two, then starts coming up again (especially after multiple power cycles).
I saw answers on other threads that pulling the battery might be causing it, but I never pulled the battery. Also, I never get option to clear the data/cache in manage applications. Is this an ext-4 issue? I was on rfs and never received it. My journaling is enabled as well.
Are you restoring data?
If you are then that will certainly cause many issues. It is ok to restore your APKs but you should always reconfigure your applications, the only exception to this is if your updating to a new version of the same ROM (and then that depends on the level of changes made to the update).
It sounds like a lot of time to redo all the stuff, but in the end you save way ore time not having to try to figure out which piece of data restored caused the FCs
Crap no journaling/ext-4 implementation on most ROMs, causes more headaches than improvements for the average user. Just convert to "journaling on" or back to RFS and most FC's will go away.
What about stock roms? Do you get force closes on them too?
Try "Fix Permissions" in Clockwork. You might have carried over an app with bad permissions table.

+1. After much consternation myself.... I've discovered that it is typically due to restoring data having switch from one ROM to another... I think that I've been OK when I stay with upgrading the same ROM to the next version most of the time... but changes by the Dev could cause those to not work so hot as well.
As jdelano mentioned, it sounds like a headache to re-setup your phone but if you use the new groupings of apps capabilities on AppBrain and use Titanium to restore data to apps that are freshly installed... the only other headache is resetting up your widgets/screens and then the customization of a few apps.
Yeah a pain... the cost we pay for being on the bleeding edge.
Ok, guys, here's the deal! After GB update, experienced major issueswith bootlooping, freezing, and, more importantly, crap for 4g/3g service after rooting. I experienced continuous reboots randomly no matter if I was on wi-fi, 4g, both, etc. Not sure if I would've had same issue pre-root since I rooted immediately. Anyway, so wiped phone, cache partition, and davlik cache 3x and applied update once again & have experienced reboots a couple times, but, not continuously for 5+ min. like before. My phone is still slow & freezing some, &, my 4g/3g service seriously sucks still & reflash has had no effect on that. So, here's my questions what should I do about all of the above? Thanks, in advance, and hope I posted in correct section!

Flash a custom rom...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Both stock and custom GB roms seem to have a freezing/reboot issue. It seems to happen when there is a data transfer going on and the phone either is connecting to wifi of leaving an area with wifi. The devs are trying to figure out where it's coming from.
I've tried looking everywhere, but I can't find a solution, so I'm hoping someone sees this and can help.
I've recently become addicted to flashing roms, and have been trying out many of the amazing roms hosted here, including Touched by a SGSIII and Wicked Sensations. I fell in love with Wicked Sensations almost as soon as I flashed it, except for one problem.
Sometimes right away, sometimes after a reboot, and sometimes several hours later, my messaging app disappears, and I can no longer send or receive SMS.
There was also an occasional issue with it saying that "process.android.acore has stopped", but that problem seems to have stopped as well. This problem persisted on both Dazed's Sensations and Scarmon's Touched. I don't have the same issue with AOKP, or even the CM9A5 I flashed today, nor even on mijjah's Slim-n-Trim rom.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?
I usually flash with EL29 directboot kernel, if that affects anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Have you tried installing any of the really nice third party SMS apps like handscent or gosms?

I did. Those wouldn't work either. I'm pretty sure it was something in my backed up data, because I did a full reflash and only restored the apps, and everything is working fine, now.
Fortunately, I didn't seem to have lost a whole lot in not restoring that backup.

It sounds like you were restoring system apps specific to other roms. I suggest doing a full wipe, and ONLY restoring the apps that can be downloaded from the market.
Hey everyone,
I got a Note 4 when they first came out and have been having a lot of issues with it every since. At first it was just signal issues where i was missing calls/voicemails, texts, etc, especially compared to my Note 3. I think started having issues with my phone freezing, heating up, etc. I am thinking about restarting my phone and reloading programs to see if things get better. My problem is that i still have my phone stock and non-rooted due to needing Knox for work. Any programs that you can recommend that i can backup my apps and its data? I am used to using TB for my rooted phone but i am not sure what i can use for a non rooted phone. I basically trying to reload my apps (side loaded and ones i got from the playstore) but also not lose data if i can help it.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Use Kies
Sounds like your problem could be a bad app that doesn't like your phone (note 4?) Anyway using Kies you can delete any apps that you may suspect, old style games are known to create problems like this and side-loaded apps can also fowl things up.
