I've been running ACS 1.2 Frozen for a while, with the Genocide kernel and LauncherPro. I've been planning to update to an EI22 ROM for a while, but before I started messing around I wanted to backup what I have now.
So I powered down, booted up into CWM (purple), and did a backup. Then when I restarted, all I got were FCs. The really aggravating thing is that LauncherPro FCs so I can't really get to anything else.
All I did was run a backup! Anyone else seen this? Got any ideas on how to get stability back?
Luckily the backup ran successfully, but if this is what I get just from RUNNING a backup, I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd be stable after RESTORING a backup.
Something happened, may have been related to journaling and the shut down. Did you have journaling enabled? You can do a factory data reset to clear the errors and try an advanced data restore from the nand but if the errors happened before the backup started then it is corrupted too. Do you have any other backups? Titanium? If you clear the errors enough to get into settings, clear data in your launcher and Google Service Framework, then any other app that is FCing.
I did have journaling enabled, yes. I wasn't getting any errors before the backup, but if the shutdown caused them, well I'm a bit stuck. No recent Titanium backups unfortunately.
Thanks for the things to try!

At that point you got nothing to lose. If the restore has the FCs too then Factory Data reset will nuke the data errors, you will lose 3rd party apps, have to set up email again, and your contacts (stored on Google) will be restored as well as the list of apps downloaded from the market (eventually the list will be populated). But your phone will be usable again.
In case you havent tried it, wipe cache and dalvic from CWM. I would try that before wiping everything.

So this is interesting -- it seems like something about my SD card has gotten busted in the backup.
I did a restore of the backup I made, it's identical to where I was at after the backup, but when I hit Home it asked me to choose LauncherPro or TWLauncher. Choosing TWLauncher at least gets me some functionality.
So I did that and noticed that NONE of the apps on my SD card show up anymore. A clue towards resolution without full wipe?
Yup, after more investigation I'm sure of it. Running the CWM backup broke all the apps stored on my SD card. I didn't make any changes other than running the backup, and after restarting all those apps no longer show up.
Backup your sd card on a computer, format it in the phone and restore. That should make it work again. Then you will have to reinstall the apps that were there. Sometimes launchers take more than 5 minutes to reload apps on the sd card. Did you wait long enough?

So I made a nand backup of my Fresh rom, did a titanium backup of everything then wiped my phone and installed the DC rom. I used titanium backup to then try to get all of my original settings back. Handcent loads up and got restored with all of the settings I had before, but when I press a conversation it loads up and I can see it but I immediately get a force close for the handcent app. It did, however, work fine right after I reinstalled it and before I performed the titanium backup. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but can't get it to work... Any ideas?
On another note, I cannot get my nand backup of the Fresh rom I have working. I wipe the dalvik and wipe the data and then restore the nand backup but it gets stuck on the fresh loading screen and loops... no clue why that happens either.
im just taking a guess here, but do you think it could have anything to do with app2sd? Not sure if this would cause the issue or not, but it might be something to look into if an answer doesnt come along
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
OK so today my wifi went out.... Just completely went out. I tried wiping the settings and reconnecting to the Wifi point and all it does is try and authenticate, then it drops. So with a few prior bugs like this in the past, I decided to do a combo Temp Files wipe with 4.3 Smelkus MOD recovery.
EVERYTHING GOT WIPED; Go launcher is non existent, Play Store is gone, apps just magically vanished. Going into App Settings, the Symlinks are there, but the app is missing from drawer. Even all the aroma options I turned on are gone. It's basic android with no gapps. This happened to me on first install and I had to wipe my memory card and reformat. I refuse to do this again. So I am going to try and nandroid back to before the wipe.
What caused this?
In my excitement, and retardedness, I forgot to nandroid after a successful install. So it likes like I have no other choice to set EVERYTHING back up again. I'm just thankful I'm smart enough to have recurring TB backups every other day. D

Hello,
I should mention I'm running the dark_hd CM9 rom, rooted S-OFF.
So earlier today I was in the bootloader and accidently hit Clear Storage. It brought up a black screen with an image of an open box and then my phone rebooted normally.. fat fingered it somehow. Oops.
Upon loading the OS it immediately asked me for my Google info and I knew something was wrong. All of my apps icons are there on the launcher screen, however none of them are installed except for the basic apps. Also, when I tried to install Titatium Backup again, it says 'Unfortunately, .. has stopped'. I tried to reinstall a few more apps and each one says 'Unfortunately...has stopped". Before I restored, I wanted to see if I could get back some of my data and make a fresh Titanium backup of it all.
I have a few apps like a a logbook program and my Heytell conversations that I would like to see if the data is still there before I do a full restore or a wipe. Is there any way I can fix this "Unfortunately" error? Also, if I do a restore, will my app data be saved or will it revert back to the info that was there when I did the backup? Thanks.

So you hit factory reset from the hboot menu? You could check /data/data and see if the settings for your apps are still there, but i doubt it. You should also check /data/app and see if the apps apk is still there. If it is there, delete it and then try reinstalling it again. If you do a backup, it will restore the data that was backed up. You can do an advanced restore and restore everything except data.

Did you have any apps moved to sdcard? As it almost sounds like that could be the case if some of the data for the phone like the launcher homescreen data is still intact but the apps were on the sdcard which would be part of storage.

I'm sorry it was CM9. Fixed. I had CM10 on the brain as I was getting read to flash the Pons CM10 ROM. I didn't have any luck recovering any of the data so I just wiped it and flashed a new rom. I was able to run Titanium and recovery the data but I still lost some since my last backup. Thanks anyways.
OK so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but whenever I flash my rim to do testing and whatnot I make a nandroid, do a full wipe, flash rom, gapps and then kernel, then reboot, let sit for about 10 mins, and then go through the setup, my data works completely fine, no drops in connection or anything, I can download apps on 4g even, so I downloaded titanium Backup and set it up, but whenever I restore my apps, just my apps only, no system data or app data the restore completes and then I don't a reboot and then my data no longer works, I've double checked the apn and nothing is out of the ordinary, it has to be titanium Backup because I've tried different kernels, different roms and still the same issue, does anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Tibu is not the panacea it's made out to be. Don't do a batch restore. Only restore the apps you really need. It's much better to use Google to restore your apps.

Well that is a matter of opinion. Using google to restore apps will always give you the latest versions of the apps. And that is often not a good thing. (I have 6 apps right now that I dont want updated because the newer version is crappier) Google isnt real good with restoring app data either.
There is nothing wrong with restoring using titanium for apps and data. The only place it shouldn't be recommended is for restoring system settings or data. That is where you get version/rom incompatibilities.

I always use TB to restore my apps. Never had a issue. Always use batch restore and restore only apps and data. Not sure what's going on but I ONLY use it to restore apps. What exactly are you pressing during your restoration process? I only restore missing apps with data in the scenerios. Never had I had any issues. perhaps try restoring missing apps AND data. this is what I do. Works every time without issue. Problem might lie in the fact your not restoring apps and data. Give it a shot. Let me know. It should work perfectly for you. Does for me always. Your not restoring data this is likely your issue. so during restoration press " restore apps AND data" this should solve the issue.
