[Q] Can you force APK's on ICS rom?? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Half of my APK's i saved through TB. But on a ICS rom, more than half of the apps i use actively dont work. Is there a way to force them on and work fine?

Elaborate on "don't work" please. I had trouble restoring with TB, this is what I did. I unmounted sd card and restored all user apps + data without issue. This is a workaround for the repair kernel, it also (obviously) saved everything to phone storage. So I flashed the stock no cwm kernel and moved then to sd

You are probably using the repack rogue kernel. Unmount SD card by going to settings - storage - unmount. Try restoring again

I tried it only has option for external SD card which I don't have. Clicked it and said something along the lines that it failed.

After you Odin, let it boot up and then go into settings, back up and reset,and do a factory data reset. I had to ask the same question, because I just thought Odin would do that.

Hmm mine has option for emmc which should be external card and sdcard which should be internal card. You can also plug it into your pc and right click the drive and format

Didn't when I did it on my vibrant. Pretty sure it just mounts sdcard not system or anything else. That's why you can't edit the system files through your pc that way

doing it now.. idk if its stuck or just takes a while. but i downloaded the stock odin uvalh2 started the process and now its at aboot.mbn part been on that for like 10 mins already
here is a pic
From what I can see zooming in you do not have auto reboot checked. Go ahead and check that and ODIN again it will take about 8 to 15 minutes to install everything. I just did that about 2 hours ago. Remember just check auto reboot and leave the other ones unchecked.

just updated to ff18 rooted and gapps keeps FCing.

every time i have updated to ics, or tried and ics rom i get this error every few minutes or so.
"unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
it drives me crazy and i havent been able to find a solution that works. ive found other people with the same problem and tried what they have found successful, with no luck. any help would be much appreciated.
Use ff18 one click full.

That's what I used. However the only constant between all of the roms I've used has been my backup and restoring of my apps. Right after I posted this It occurred to me I might have an app thats causing the problem. Right after I installed the ff18 rom I did a nandroid backup before I loaded any backup. I'm going to reload that nandroid then use the system like normal and see if the error occurs. Once I get to a point in my day where I don't NEED the phone ill try it.

What are you using for backup/restore?
If you're using Titanium Backup, I believe one fix is just restoring Missing data+apps. Do not restore system data and see if that helps.
If you're using Nandriod advanced restore, you should be fine if the backup was on ICS and you're on ICS, but have seen a few issues with that. Oddball stuff.

Im coming from gb el29 stock tw.
I use mybackup pro. I opted not to restore system settings for fear that might have caused the problem.
Where can I find nandroid advanced restore? Sounds like a good app to have.
Update:
As an experiment I tried using just just a few of the Apps That I was getting This error using, Facebook tapatalk and browser. I started using just 1 app at a time. I browse to have a lease for facebook posts and I've been using tapatalk sent this morning . Neither app gave me the error that I was getting. Then I started browsing heavily hey there my error has popped up several times in the course of a few minutes.

Its in the custom recovery itself. I'm running the kuban kernel. I believe agats has it as well.
:edit: I failed to mention that if you don't have a currnet , good, nandroid backup, it won't help you in your current state.

Thanks! I figured if restoring my apps are giving the fault then I can't rely on the nandroid backup either.
EDIT: SOLVED!
Since I narrowed the fault down to the internet browser I cleared the cache and data and it seemed to fix it!
Thank you all for the help and suggestions!

Something just always has to be messed up.

So can someone help me with these problem I'm having.
This has been tested on two epics and the results are pretty much the same but I can't seem to understand whyyy.
Ever since FC09 TW ROMs I've always had these problems. I would wipe everything 3x and I would install the ROM and I would have something broken, either music, video, or pictures. This issue has been on different ROMs and different epics. Everytime I install a ROM one of those 3 has to be broken.
I flashed thunderhawk on my phone and videos always fc'ed no mattter what player I used.
I flashed it on my cuzins phone and music was a problem for him. No music players would work
I flashed TPR and I lost video once again.
I flashed stock deodexed on my cuzins phone and video broke for him.
I flashed mortify rom on my cuzins phone and gallery FC'es.
And when I say something breaks it literally will not work whatsoever. No matter what app I download or what I wipe or how I install it, it just will not work.
What am I doing wrong here? This problem is only on TW ROMs.

Odin back to FC09. Test these features on stock rom. IF they work, then flash CWM and then a select rom. Test again. Make a backup in CWM.
Odin again, test features again. Flash CWM and select rom. Test again. Make backup in CWM.... rinse repeat.
Once you do that, you should have working backups of each rom to work from.
Since videos, music and pix are on your sd card I suspect your card is failing.

And this may be a reason but I don't think that both of our sd cards are messed up. Unless it has to do with flashing roms and switching sd cards since I have most the roms on my memory card and I flash them and remove the memory card.
I'm gonna try the odin test to see what happens.

Do you swap the correct card back before booting the ROM for the first time and did you make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in any of the directories giving you trouble?

I flashed a lot of times so I'm not sure which memory card was in the phone at its first boot, but it most likely would be the wrong one.
And yes, there isn't no .nomedia file in any of those.

Phone locks up after new app install

This is something new going on with my stock rooted phone. Once I install a new app from the play store my screen become unresponsive to touch? Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I've got this problem too. I just rooted and flashed the stock FI27 rom the other day, and now the phone locks up each time I install a new app.
Phone is unresponsive, but holding down the power button causes a reboot.
It may have something to do with the internal vs. external SD card after root, but I'm not entirely sure yet.
Try removing the SD card before an install. See if that changes anything. Also try a different SD card when installing. I have reason to believe that your external SD is going bad.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
If you have a working recovery try wipeing cashe & dalvick. Uninstalling the play store and reinstalling it may clear up problem.

Sorry for the ignorant question but does this mean adding CWM recovery? As it stands right now I still have this issue but since I just installed stock ROM I still have the stock recovery.

You can wipe cache with stock recovery. Dalvik requires CWM.

Going from 4.2 back to 4.1

So I'm on cm10.1 and I'm wanting to go back to 4.1 probably frosty jb. Am I able to just flash frosty from twrp or do I have to odin 4.1 first??
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
just flash the 4.1 after wiping everything including internal and external storage, (I do and suggest it). This way the emulated/0 folder wont be there and cause you to clutter the threads up. Of course back up your both of your storage areas, if you choose to wipe them.
Beware, it seems going back from 4.2 to 4.1 could break your GPS. If that happens, you can look in the General section on a possible fix.
You can install any Rom with twrp whether you are going from 2.3.2 to 4.2 or vice versa.

I also flashed the 4.2 rom when I was experimenting when I first got my phone. When I flash back to 4.1.1 I had the emulated /0 folder. At that time I just copied everything out of that folder into the internal. Problem with that is the /0 folder can not be deleted. I have been wondering what is the best method to format internal sd. I am currently on Frosty rom and I have nothing to lose in my internal that can't be replaced. Can I just format and reboot system or do I need to reflash rom after deleting internal? On other devices I have had there was always a risk of bricking if you formatted internal. I would appreciate any advice so that I don't mess up my phone. Thanks is advance. BTW I use TWRP as my recovery method.

Thanks for all the help. Wiping data and both caches worked perfectly fine to get back to 4.1

Hey is Bluetooth working in 4.1 cm10? Specifically the music streaming to blue tooth?
Just went back to stock for Bluetooth but I hate stock...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Imma say... going from 4.2.1 back to 4.1 was a b!tch. Caused me to have to start all over. And as another individual stated above, there is an emulated /0/ folder that 4.2 uses due to the new profile architecture. Basically you wiping your phone, it leaves a copy of your SD card in the /0/. The restore process in CWM (I've not used TWRP on my GS3 so I can't speak for it), it breaks the restore process as CWM can't read from other than it's predefined restore location. Now I've read on the Nexus 7 forums that do restore, you could potentially make a copy of your CWM folder from /0/ into your base sd folder.
I guess just play around with it, but personally I recommend not jumping to 4.2.1. I personally had to ODIN back to stock and wipe everything and start over cuz I ran out of space to move files and it just took too long since each time you wipe, it would embed everything in a /0/ and eventually the copies just overwhelmed.
But basically key understanding of this whole restore/downgrade issue is 4.2.1's profile architecture dumping all your SDcard (phone) content into /0/ and your CWM is used to restoring from SD/clockworkmod/backup rather than looking @ SD/0/clockworkmod/backup.
I flash from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1 and back all the time... Never ever had an issue
