Hi, I'm having problem restoring my backups after I installed an updated version of a custom ROM on my HTC One X, namely I upgraded from ARHD 9.1.0 to 9.3.2.
My specific problem, as far as I can see, is only related to Google Talk: since I restored my backups (all apps + sys data) everything works fine except Google Talk, which always shows me as Offline....
I tried many things, from restoring previous AndroidID to delete Talk caches and data; I also tried to remove the Google account altogether and reload it....
Nothing worked and I know that, before restoring the backups, Google Talk was working just fine.
Are you aware of any similar situation or any advice I can follow to solve this problem??
Thank you
I have similar problem. Flashed newest ARHD and restored system data thru Titanium backup and Google Talk does not work anymore. It only shows offline on all of my accounts. Still trying to figure out how to get it working again. I removed the app and installed a fresh one from the ARHD rom file but still it does not work.

Usual disclaimer... I tried searching, I really did. I found one thread about restoring apps that confirms I followed what should be done, but I had something I didn't want happen... happen.
I flashed my first custom ROM the other day, and it went pretty much as planned/hoped with a couple of glitches. I did the latest stable Cyanogen (6.0.2), and had a couple of the problems that other people did... the email app didn't work (found the cure (new apk) on cyanogen's forum) and I couldn't send/receive MMS.
The cure I found for the latter was to wipe data/cache, which I did through clockworkmod recovery.
When I initially installed cyanogen, I signed into my google account, used Ti Backup to reinstall all my apps, and then activated the phone (*228) . Worked great, everything loaded.
When I wiped data/cache, after rebooting, I signed into my google account (just like before)... and before i could start restoring with Ti, my apps started downloading from the market. Took much longer than a Ti restore, and it missed Tasker (which I bought directly from the developer... and for some reason was not in my Ti backup).
So what happened with the second restore? should I have stopped all the downloads and restored with Ti?
I've since done a full apps+data backup with Ti backup that includes tasker (I have no idea why it wasn't included, it should have been, and I've since backup up profiles from within the app as well)... but am confused about not just repeating and the same thing happening with the restore.
Any suggestions?
Hi.
I have the latest leedroid rom with the latest radio.
I have an unlimited cellular internet that works great on the cell phone itself.
When I try to use it as a hotspot I can only connect to Gmail from my computer. All the other sites show me a http denial message.
I read somewhere else in the forums that someone had a similar problem so he flashed the rom again but without any of the apps. I did the same and it worked like a charm. He then reinstalled the apps and it kept on working. I tried it and it stopped.
Before I try the very annoying attempt of uninstalling app by app until it starts working, I'd like to ask if anyone knows of some apps that cause this problem.
I was thinking of things like the AVG or viber/whatsapp. Meaning apps that keep working all the time in the background and use the internet.
Any ideas?
Thanks
fixed!
as it seems, some of the user data files stored in the titanium backup was the cause of it. I can't tell which one but when I flashed the ROM again after a full wipe and factory reset it worked great. I then restored only the data files and the problem repeated so I reflashed it with the wipe and factory reset and restored all the apps but non of the data files and it is working great!
Hi All,
Being a newb, I couldn't post in workshed's thread. I found a solution to the navigation issues (The cause is well over my head, so someone please forward to workshed for me??)....
After flashing to GSB-3.5 I noticed navigation would randomly freeze, then cause a full reboot, not just a force close usually after about 10 minutes. I waited for 3.6 assuming Shed would catch it and fix, but the problem persisted through 3.7-odex with gapps 0613.
Reading through his thread; other's were suggesting the issue wasn't in the rom but in the GAPPS package or possibly in the CM themes or supercharger script, or possibly the titanium backup-"restore apps and data settings"...
I religiously Nandbackup and Titanium back-up all system and App data (due to all the scary phone brick warnings)
Anyway whenever I flash a new Rom, I run titanium backup, nandbackup, delete the android secure folder, then reboot into recovery wipe the caches, flash the rom, then the recommended GAPPS, cach2cache (sp?), CM and android themes, then reboot, allow the GAPPS to full install from the market installer (some addition apps install since i have the backup apps to google account option checked in CM settings), then i download titanium backup (pro) and I only restore the user apps with data (never batch restore system data.) I selectively restore my user dictionary, bookmarks, wifi, bluetooth settings.
This time I restored all of the user apps without data and only selectively restored data to a couple of apps like cardiotrainer
I remembered someone suggesting to delete the maps data and cache in settings>applications>manage applications, so i did that, then uninstalled MAPS, then redownloaded from market. after the install I rebooted and drove home from work...
navigation was perfect, I restored a couple of app's data, then drove to work the next morning...perfect...when it hasn't gone for more than 10minutes in the last 3or4 weeks without restarting my eris. I'll continue to test for the next few days, but i believe the solution was to not restore user app data for maps and possibly other apps.
background:
I had tried wiping and flashing gsb 3.4., 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 and both 0dexed and non odexed 3.6 and 3.7 with and without themes and with and without supercharger., while running supercharger I'd use agressive, ballanced, and multitasking settings. after reading the one comment about wiping the map cache and data then reinstall, i tried it too (but without the whole re-flash process... with the same affect full reboot in ~10minutes) after every iteration I'd reboot and drive to or from work ---2 attempts per day for a while... I realize it was a little naive to assume that it was something to do with my setup and not the code somewhere...
All that to say with every new flash i always restored user apps with data, but never restored system data like people have said, but this time i dawned on me not to restore any data and try it.... i drove home it worked, i restored the data i mentioned above, and drove to work it still worked.
Sorry for being so wordy, but i wanted to give the dev's enough to troubleshoot or at least note for people not to restore all data...
Thanks for all the great work guys I really appreciate all the effort!!!
*update- worked for a day then the same force close issue happened.
I also tried Telenav GPS-nav with the same force close results. I'm a newbie so maybe don't take much stock in this but I believe the issue is in the memory management setup either with CM7 or GSB3.4-3.7, to test the theory I flashed the macdroid's Everevolv port which only contains "bits" of cm7 and an older release of Google maps... if google maps works in the older release, i'll update to the newest release and try it using this Rom
Maps issue
*update 2- I flashed Macrodroid's ported Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134907
He had pre-installed an older Maps version (be careful, it tried to auto-update right away) NAV worked perfectly for a couple longer trips... then I updated to the newest Gmaps and crash city!!!
Nice Rom!! less customization than GSB 3.7, but quick, no crashes, Macdroid included a flashable launcher pro (which I use), cache2cache works fine, I haven't tried supercharger but i will.
I'll try to find this maps version.apk to install on gsb 3.7 to see how it works... if it works fine I'll have to apologize personally to workshed and the CM team for having a smidgen of doubt. I totally dig the work those guys do!!
If you're still working on this there is a thread going here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185340&page=5 ... about the Navigation problems. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a fix for it yet.
Thanks, I'll make sure to share anything that might be useful
So today I installed the latest Jedi rom onto my note 2. This is my first rom install, so excuse me if this is a newbish question. I used Rom Manager to backup, wipe, clear caches, and flash the rom. I let the phone sit for 10 minutes after the install, and when I started using it, data worked and everything. I installed Titanium Backup and restored my apps, and everything went pretty great. I had my old desktop and everything.
The only issue I have is with my google apps. Google+ and messenger will not open. It says no connection, couldn't connect to server. When I hit okay, it asks me to select an account, but upon doing so, the same error just comes up. Gmail works, but curiously, I have to update it manually to see if/when I get new emails, contrary to my settings in the application. Google now appears to work, at least when I load it up, but I don't know if it'd update on its own in the background like it normally does. I also just discovered that I can't install apps from the play store on my PC.
I tried uninstalling google+ with titanium, then reinstalling it in the market, but that didn't work. I also deleted my google account, then re added it and re synced everything, but that didn't fix it either. I tried searching the Jedi thread for "gmail" and a few other things, but didn't find any relevant info.

When you restored with TIBu did you restore apps and data or??? Did you ensure to follow the exact steps in the post?

I'd also flash manually...not using ROM Manager. Sounds like you may need to start over and make sure you don't restore any system apps or system data.

I flashed with rom manager, and I did restore app data when I restored my apps. Is there any way I can clear the particular trouble apps (g apps, and facebook I discovered as well will not give me notifications) and reinstall, or do I have to flash again?
Best thing to do is fresh install everything. I know its a pain in the ass but ive been the original tester of the jedi rom for i317/m and have yet too have any issues. Restoring through tibu does work but making sure to restore apps only.

Hmm okay, do you know what it is that I restored that screwed things up? I thought all I restored was apps. I just did one operation along the lines of 'restore all apps and app data'
I think also when I restored, it asked if i wanted to restore the device's ID or something like that, maybe that had something to do with it. It said if I restored the device ID to the original one, it would help with restored apps functioning properly.

Best thing is start from scratch! Install your apps direct from play. If you follow the directions perfectly, you should have no issues

I'll cut to the chase with my issues and explain where I am now. Then I'll go through some if the previous issues leading up to this...
I got tired of the problems and flashed back to stock FC09 with Odin.
Booted up and made sure it worked...
Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 with Odin.
Rebooted
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 with CWM...
Booted up to make sure nothing broke.
Data, dalvik, and cache wipe
Flashed a CM 10.1 nightly from a couple weeks ago.
Flashed goo.im's latest jelly bean pack (2013-03-01 iirc)
Booted up and went through the normal setup.
Only google apps that showed up are search, play, talk, and voice search. No Gmail or Maps or others. Gallery I'd there but force closes right away. So it and the camera do not work.
I haven't tried recreating the rest of the problems yet since I ran into a problem there.
The rest of the problem started after finally deciding to try the nexus radio hack. I got it working then had a hell of a time getting it working again after flashing a newer nightly. What should have worked didn't. Got it working then decided to revert back to the factory modem and CM 10.1 kernel. Wasn't worth the hastle for me.
After all that I got it working again. Then after the next nightly I lost all my apps, Google apps, and contacts.
Since then I was able to manually flash the Google apps and get it working but even then, it would not sync automatically though I set it to do so. It would forget my contacts and would not sync with gmail unless I did so manually.
Looked at to goo.im zip... realized gmail and maps were not in there.
While I was confused... that does not change the fact the phone seems broken in bazaar ways.
Losing my contacts randomly, refusing to automatically sync to Google, losing my apps after flashing an updated rom (also changes my background to an old one) and other weirdness.
Restored my latest nandroid backup after realizing the camera was broken last night. Everything worked perfect before making that backup. Now the camera and gallery force close...

Go to Settings->Apps->All : Find and click on Gallery then hit the button that says "Clear Data". That should fix the force close problem.

Nope...
Tried that and also cleared the cache and dalvik in CWM.
Neither helped.
Thank you though...
Well, if anyone else runs into similar and finds this via a search here is where I ended up...
I re flashed to stock again with Odin. Only I set it to re partition this time. Then flashed can via Odin.
Finally, I flashed CM 10.1 and gapps.
Everything worked...
Restored the data out of my latest nandroid backup.
Everything was good.
Ran cyandelta to update to the latest nightly and all hell broke loose again.
Think it is because we are butting so close against a full system partition. I had less than 100k free.
I ran my "remove useless junk" script via a CWM flash. I now have almost 100mb free and everything is working as it should. I'm betting I won't have any more issues if I set cyandelta to flash it after updating from now on.
The flash removes a bunch of stuff from CM that I don't need and/or never use like wallpapers, sound files, videos, a few apps and other random things. Need to update it for 10.1 since I made it for 10.0 though...
And today it forgot my Google account...
Noticed my contacts were missing and then saw gmail wouldn't open.
Settings> accounts did not have Google listed.
+ Add account did not have Google listed to add it back.
Had to flash gapps again and set my account back up...
This is one of the original problems...
