SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0 Question

Is this a pretty good rom, any issues with the Full version that has touch wiz? Second if I want to get back to Stock instead of using ODIN can I just use SWUpgrade for SPH-D700 to get back to EB13? Lastly I am running EB13 rooted any reason to go to EC05 or not to. Thanks

Not sure about reflashing to stock but as far as the ec05 modem it has given me better signal in low signal areas and doesn't try to stay on sprint if the signal is low. As far as the Rom is concerned I have tried others and love SRF in both versions and can't find any real complaints.
Smooth, fast and easy to install make this the Rom of choice for me.
Hope this was helpful

Thanks
I will give it a try if it goes bad I guess if I odin with the pid file it will put me back to stock?

I too am happy with the ACS Frozen 1.1.0 ROM.
Its been great to me.
As far as going back to stock you will need to keep the files to ODIN back, if an OTA upgrade comes out you will need to go back to a stock ROM to be able to apply an OTA update.

I just flashed this ROM this afternoon and am having several FC issues. These two keep FCing on me android.process.media and Marked (process com.android.vending). Any ideas?

I tried re-wiping all the caches and then re-flashing the ROM. It has been pretty good so far.
Off topic, but....when you use Titanium Backup to restore data, how do you do it? One at a time or in a batch?

I think that I'm about to ditch this ROM. I got the two other FCs to stop, but now I keep getting TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) force closing.

Personally I like MyBackup Root for backing up my apks+data. I would recommend LauncherPro as a more stable launcher, my preference. As far as the FCs, there shouldn't be any on a clean install with all data cleared 3 times. Have you had an improper shutdown or battery pull perhaps? This would cause data corruption, my suggestion is do a clean install, make a CWM Nandroid backup, and then restore that backup to initiate journaling and prevent data corruption. Any performance loss is negligible or non-existent.

Yes, you can tether with 4g using the Wireless Tether (Ad Hoc mode) app that you can download from the market. The Wifi tether (infrastructure mode) app, even if you download the latest version, will crash phone if you are using 4g.

That will cause data corruption my friend. Since this ROM doesn't have journaling enabled, any improper shutdown will lead to this and then you have to reflash the ROM.
I would suggest reflashing the ROM, getting everything setup the way you want it, ensuring everything works, then making a nandroid backup through clockwork. As soon as you make the backup, restore it. This will re-enable journaling so no more data corruption if you have to pull the battery.
The ROM is designed this way, so no, it's not a flaw or a bug, it's just the way it is. Journaling off leads to a slightly faster phone, which is why they choose this instead of journaling on.

I'm still on 1.0.2 so it might not be quite relevant, but I'm able to wireless tether with 4G without problems with the native wireless tether app included in the ROM.
Make sure the phone type is set to Epic 4G, and I just enable 4G after I start the tether. I've read that starting 4G, then the tether will cause FC.

Settings app got uninstalled?

I was trying out various TTS engines from the market, and when I went to uninstall one of them as soon as I pressed the uninstall button, it exited to the home screen. Now when I try to access the settings I get "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone"
Is there a way I can get another copy of the settings app? I really dont want to do a factory reset. My phone is rooted.

What ROM are you running? The only one I've ever had that problem with is the stock RUU's. Only way I know how to fix it is either flash a different ROM or do a full wipe from the bootloader.

I am unrooted stock, and I had a run of about a week, when I first got the phone, of bootloops, force closes, and missing system apps. One time, google core services disappeared. Two factory resets later, I have no issues at all. It's been about a month since then.

I am using the stock ROM. I really want to try and avoid the factory reset if possible though

To avoid a reset you could root and put a stock Rom on there

The stock ROM seems to have issues with apps disappearing. I had that same issue, but with my alarm not working.
I'd recommend two things.
1. Only doing a factory reset will fix the issue. You will lose your data, there's no way around that.
2. Root your phone and install RMK's debloated ROM. You will still lose your data but you can do much more with your phone.

If he backs up stuff before, like right after root. He could keep his stuff. It's what I did

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. If it's common with the stock ROM then I will just use a different ROM and hopefully avoid the issue happening again.

[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

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Random Reboots?

Ok so right when i got my sprint galaxy nexus (last friday) i rooted and unlocked the bootloader and got right into flashing after running Black Ice rom i was loving it til all a sudden i was getting FC and random reboots, i thought it might of been the rom not liking my phone. So i reflashed and let all my android apps download via market and only restore data of certain ones and restore other apps in titanium. Still issues with random reboots
I then decided to try Gummy and it was working great no force closes or anything then just out of no where my device rebooted for no reason?
I restored apps the same way via play store.
Do you think i should exchange it for another one? Or do u think its an app or what?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciative.

Why are you not asking this question in the rom thread? Because obviously it has to do with something in the rom not interacting with something else nicely. Most likely an app or data in an app which doesn't want to play nice.

because it has happened on 2 roms
Black Ice (Based on Aokp)
Gummy (Aosp)
And it is just random, it is just sitting there and it reboots for no reason.

Pretty sure it's an app. If you have time and patience reload the rom on clean install. Download all the apps fresh from play store do not restore any. On the apps that you feel you must restore data do one at a time, use the phone for a while and see if it does it. Then restore data for the second app you feel that you must restore data on and again run the device for a while all is good move to a third. Eventually you will run into the issue again and just go back one step delete the app that you last installed data for and see if it goes away. Unless you have a logcat of the reboot and you can pinpoint what caused it

Titanium Backup ICS -> GB

I know there are issues with some apps when restoring data from ICS to GB, as I have experienced the lot of FCs that occur when you do so. Searched quite a bit to see if there was anything like this posted, so forgive me if I didn't have the correct parameters in my search and missed it.
It got me thinking...
Is it possible to edit any of the files within the Titanium Backup data to make it compatible from one to the other and vice versa or would it "brick" the data?
If it's possible, would someone be willing to share their Titanium Backup of GB data (from Temple Run or Fruit Ninja preferably as it seems to effect games more often than not) so I can look into it a bit further [EDIT: by comparing the data files to my ICS backups]?
If not, then I guess we're SOL.

Yea, some of my saved games wouldn't even load back on gb. Had to start all over again on blast monkeys.

While I admire the initiative to learn to bend android to your will... This ^^^ idea would be very involved, take some specific tools, (to extract the images), and incredible know how to alter things accordingly. Pretty sure the process would involve flashing your target operating system, creating a TB back up of said game, app, etc, then painstakingly diffing it against your existing backup from other android version.
Might just be easier to start fresh with the game or app on gb, ics, jb, Froyo, whatever, then create a new group in TB where you backup said data, based on version of android.
That's what I do.

Can't you just backup the app/data, then on a fresh flash, install the app form Market, the restore data with TB?

I'll look into it this weekend if I have time for the multi-flashing, else it would be great if someone could share their GB Titanium Backup of some app (as mentioned, preferably Temple Run) and I would just dive right in.

Unfortunately no, not when going from ICS to GB. From ICS to ICS or GB to GB, yes.

If that's the case, my guess is that it's dependent on the app then.

Had no time to do multiple flashes this weekend. If someone else has time to do so, or if they're already on GB, it would be appreciated if you could post your Titanium Backup of an app (Temple Run preferred).

As usual, HipKat is correct. :good:
I had some time to flash Reloaded this morning and did a restore of my Temple Run's Titanium Backup (TB from now on). Lo and behold, it force closed right away. From there, I went into manage applications to clear the data. After clearing, I opened Temple Run again, to do a run so I could prep it for a TB, to compare the GB files to the previous ICS files that I had.
After clearing the data, however, it seemed to get rid of the FC issue, but still maintained the TB data, meaning that the ICS data was still intact, and functional after flashing back to GB. :victory::victory:
Hopefully this is the case for everyone. I'll report back shortly to see if it works again, because I believe I have a faulty download of the Reloaded .zip causing Aroma to not install everything that I selected. I'm currently re-downloading the .zip as I type this out, so I'll be re-flashing shortly. Once I re-flash (and hopefully the Aroma options carry over this time), I'll check and see if the TB data will be maintained again.

I don't know if it's fixed, because I've been of Reloaded for a while, but as it was, installing TB from Aroma caused and FC. What I do is add the tb app and it's lib file to the ROM.zip before I flash it so it's pre-installed

Yeah..I am seeing no probs either. I have been back and forth from GB and ics all week. I usually flash the fresh ROM, then go to market and install tb fresh before restoring app and ata, no fc at all...all is well
