skyraider 3.5 Force close all aps

Rebooted the Dinc and then as all apps started all had to force close.
The only thing that fixed this was to revert back to a recovery backup.
Anyone else seen this happen?

Did you restore apps by using Titanium Backup, and also restore data?
If you did then that's your problem, you're not suppose to restore data of the apps

Also try going into Rom manager and running "fix permission." That fixed the problem for me.

Nope did not restore data... And my DINC was running find for as long as 3.5 has been out. Just suddenly started this.
It's good now I had a backup...

Problem I was not able to do anything with the DINC. Anything your started did a force close.
So I just reboot into recovery wiped everything and loaded an backup that was just created a few weeks ago.

titanium backup problem

I was wondering if any of you guys have ran across this. I updated my rom (Full wipe) its evervolv. I used TB (Pro) to back everything up. So when I try to restore it, it restores the apps, but fails on data. I've updated Busybox, fix permissions, I'm not sure what else to do. Any Ideas?

Yep. Don't do data, regardless. Pretty much every dev advises against it, (at the least I haven't found one who doesn't). Just think about it for a second. What is the point of doing a full wipe, and then restoring data? Personally, I don't restore any apps, either, and I've had very, very few problems, and most of those were known bugs.

I do it for my saved stuff. Not system data.

Have you tried restoring just app & data on specific apps? Say for something like Handcent - the app and your settings will come back (not your messages - that's a different gig). Or maybe a game of yours and your settings. Try a couple individually to see if it makes a difference.
Good luck!

I have tried a few random apps. Tried installing app, then data, tried both. Still notta. Makes me sad. First time with flashing any roms with having issues.

Easily restore all apps.

Hi everyone. I have two questions today.
First, is there a way to put all of my apps and data on my phone very quickly after flashing? I hate going through titanium and restoring one by one.
Second, has anyone heard about Windows phone 7 development progress? I Can't seem to find the thread about it.
Thanks.

*IF* you're flashing a nightly build, reflashing the same rom cleanly or flashing a very similar rom, all you have to do is boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup consisting of only your data, and android.secure and sd-ext partition (if you have your 3rd party apps stored there). When the backup is compete, go ahead and do a full wipe and flash the rom you desire to flash. Afterwards, boot into your homescreen, bypass the sign-in process and remove the default widgets from all of your homescreens. Now reboot into recovery and restore the backup you just made. When you boot back into your homescreen, your apps, data and screens will be as they were.

Aright, so nand data and android.secure (I don't put apps on sd). Wipe everything. On new ROM get rid of all widgets. Restore nand. Done.
Dude thanks. This will save me so much time.

Yes, but just so we're on the same page, when I say remove the default widgets, I'm only referring to the widgets that are 'displayed on your homescreens' when you initially bootup after a fresh install.

Spend the $6 for Titanium Pro, and you don't have to restore them one by one. I resisted for awhile because $6 seemed high for a single app, but it's worth it.

Use mybackup root. It does what titanium pro does but it is free. There is a paid version if you like it to donate. I would just make backup, wipe then download mybackup again from market and restore. Don't have to do one by one it does batch on its own.

As for your second question. I thought I read they deleted it due to it not going anywhere. I may be wrong though because I just came over from the hero forums. I read that in another forum someone else may be able to tell you more.

All browsers but Opera Mini Force Close

Title says it all. Since formatting my phone as ext4 and flashing CyanogenMod 7.2, no browsers - the preinstalled Browser or Opera Mobile - will work. Browser just FCs when it reaches somewhere around 90%, while Opera Mobile won't load past the splash page (it doesn't make it to the speed dial).
Oddly enough, however, Opera Mini works fine, albeit a little slowly.
On another note, I've also been having permission issues while installing Adobe Flash, whereas before using CM I had no problems.
Might the two issues be related?

Try fixing permissions from CWM

Great, now the browsers work fine, though I had to reinstall my apps because they were force closing.
But now my home button doesn't work - at all - and my lockscreen seems to have vanished; it's not on Quick Unlock, not even CM Settings seems to realize it's not there anymore.

You may backup and do a clean install, download again to ensure theres nothing wrong, and look if its fixed

Well, nuts. I was hoping not to have to do that, but okay.
By the way, this may sound silly, but how, exactly, do you do a back up? I'm guessing you need an application like Titanium Backup? (And if that's exactly what I need, do I need the premium version?)
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA

You can use titanium backup, but I recommend nandroid backup from recovery, however you can restore the full rom, settings etc, but cant restore apps only or something.. So you can use both

This is just getting stupid.
I backed up my apps+data with Titanium Backup, then the whole system with NANDroid. I suspected the latter wouldn't do anything useful, as it saves an image of the current state of the system, so if I was having trouble, what good would it do? But I restored via Recovery anyway, and, as I thought, it didn't change a thing.
So then I wiped everything all over again (and even reformatted with ext4-formatter.zip) including the two caches, reinstalled CM 7.2, applied the patch (which I didn't do before and is for the previous version of the ROM) and restored everything with Titanium Backup. It advised me to reboot, because Android thought there was little space left, and so I did.
Before I go any farther, let me just say that I restored ALL apps+data, not just the ones that were missing.
Moving on...
After the reboot, everything seemed fine (except I had to generate a new password for my Google account, as I use 2-step verification, but it makes sense as some of the apps didn't match up with the previous password).
But then, as I was changing some permissions for Adobe Flash player in Root Explorer, I noticed the home button had stopped working again. Before restoring, everything - and I mean everything - worked perfectly. So it's not CyanogenMod causing the problem, but an app or its data.
I will not vent my frustration here, but it looks like I'll have to start from scratch - for what seems like the 5th time now since getting into custom ROMs, which was only a few weeks ago - and reinstall all my apps. Including the Google ones, as apparently Market decides to let you choose which GApps to install for yourself (which is both a blessing - less bloat - and a curse - takes a lot longer).
Is there anything at all I can do to minimize the amount of time this is going to take?

Well, I've never heard of it before, so there is a problem causing this, on your phone.
I would suggest to go back to stock, do a fresh install, and think ablut apps that may be not able to trust its permissions...
It can be some sort of malware, but also just somethimg wrong flashed in /system

Actually there's nothing wrong with my phone. I suspect that some data for a particular app was corrupted, but after yet another fresh install, everything works perfectly fine. I backed up everything with Titanium Backup so if anything goes wrong again I can restore from backups that I know work.
Thanks for the help.

Flashing Inquiry

Hey all, long time no talk.
I noticed everytime a new ROM comes out you guys are always flashing. Is there an easy way to flash without having to "re-install" everything and keeping your screens the way they were previously? Or there is no simple solution?
Mike

Generally not really. If its a minor update for a current Rom u don't always have to erase everything but generally u will have to start from scratch. That's always the best bet for squashing bugs ect

You can always use titanium backup to reinstall apps, I'd definitely recommend dropping a few bucks on the paid version for no click restores. If it's an update to a rom I'm already running, I usually just wipe cache and dalvik before flashing, but you should always wipe before flashing a different rom.

Excellent that is what I had figured. I just had noticed some guys flashing everytime a new rom comes out, that has to be a pain in the a**. But I have been using Astro to back up everything.
Thanks guys

Titanium is a great ap. I have noticed that restoring aps with it can cause some issues and slowdowns. I always used titanium but now I prefer a fresh install. When u log into your gmail account u can set it to automatically restore your previous aps also when you look at the "my aps" section you can slide to the right and look at all aps you had ever downloaded.
Good luck, have fun and follow the roms specific instructions!

I'm with you. I used TiBu a couple of times, but had random crashes and stuff.
I do the full wipe now, every time. Stability is worth the trade-off of reinstalling everything

Titanium can be buggy at times but I use the heck out if it... I make a backup of xyz rom and rename it, then switch roms. Set everything up (if it's new to me) and backup/rename. For example I have titanium backupUKB, titanium backupCM9 and titanium backupSRZ all on my SD card...

I have been using GO Backup instead of Titanium lately and it is pretty good. You can restore all your backed up apps with one click; it only backs up user apps. It also can backup your messages and wifi access points if you backup that kind of stuff, and most of all it's free. I definitely recomend you try it out.

I only restore the user apps using Titanium Backup. I believe that should technically not cause any problems. Well I am glad it didn't the few times I did use it, so far.
