[Q] Sync Contacts after Rom change. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So i just upgraded to Dougshells AOKP rom and its working awesome.
Only issue i am having is that there isnt a "contacts" application.
If i use Titanium backup to restore my "contacts" from ICS will that harm anything?
My contacts wont even sync from google.
Am i missing the stock "Contacts" App?

Do you flash gapps? If not well flash the latest JB gapps and you will be fine.
Do not use your ICS contacts backup in JB ROMs.

text messaging not working on ics

ie tried 2 roms now, cm9 and darkside both ics roms, and the text messaging app is not opening, i even tried go sms, its not opening either, a lot of apps just freeze when trying to open, anyone have a fix for this ?
i also used sms backup to restore my old messages, but i cant open any messaging app
do a darkside wipe and install it again. it should work.
I'm on cm9 (updated today) it's working perfectly fine

[Q] No Gmail sync, No Google Talk access (Darkside Evolution 3 v5)

Hi, this is my first non-stock ROM so I'm hoping it's a simple fix. Using Darkside Evolution 3 v5 on my Galaxy SII.
My Gmail is not syncing and I can't get Google Talk to work, it says I'm logged in but I'm not "green" and nobody on my friends list is listed as online.
Deleted and re-added my Google account in "Accounts and Sync" but that didn't help. I'm using Google 2-Step Authentication, does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for any help!

Did you restore Gmail and Gtalk from a backup after you installed the ROM? If so, I'd recommend just un-installing the app and re-installing it from the play store. Lots of times restored apps with data cause problems when going from GB to ICS, even if you didn't go from gb to ics at this point I'd just try to uninstall/reinstall.. Then check account sync settings and make sure they are checked off.

Yes I restored Gmail and Talk from Titanium Backup, went from GB to ICS. I just deleted Gmail and re-installed and it's still not auto syncing, it only syncs when I manually go in and refresh it. Also I didn't delete Talk because I don't see Talk as downloaded app so I'm not sure where to delete it.
I've had this problem randomly with titanium backup too. It's the restore that'd causing your problem, I'd bet. Did the phone sync before you restored with titanium?
I never found a solution, just had to manually restore everything.
Ive had this problem in the past. You have to delete your google account and then put it back.

Yes everything was fine before I rooted and went to the Darkside, I'll bet you're right. What's the most efficient way to do this, just wipe and re-install the ROM?

Well for me the rom works fine until I restore with titanium. I just downloaded all my apps again and let Google restore what it could.
So yeah I would just wipe and re flash the radio and the rom, then not restore using titanium. Alternatively you could just revert back to the stock rom you backed up before flashing darkside.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a comon problem of more heavy hitters would have figured out a real solution.

Yeah I'm sure it's my fault and not the rom, just didn't know where I screwed up. I never flashed a radio, is that odd? I like how Darkside performs (battery and speed) so I want to try to keep it, we'll see.
Because all the pertinent data is kept on their servers, i don't back up gmail or voice with titanium, i download them from the play store if not included in the ROM. I have had to go back into the "accounts & sync" to manually turn on the syncing, but other than that no issues. Darkside cache wipe is your friend as well, amazing the "glitches" it fixes.

Ok I'll try a clean wipe and flash with no backup. The original instructions I read didn't suggest flashing a radio, but the official instructions say to do so, which radio should I flash since there are two options?
I think I'm on the uvle1 radio. As i understand it, you can use either one. Try each to see if one works better for you.

Google doesn't auto sync the apps after rom flash

I just replaced the OTA 4.0.4 with CM10 4.1.1 rom and unfortunately google play doesn't auto download and install the apps i have in my account.
Contacts and calendar were synced ok though.
Is that supposed to be like that?
Could be a couple of reasons:
1) You didn't flash gapps after the rom.
2) Some roms don't have the ability baked in. I have experienced it many times. With CM10 being pre-nightly this is possible.
Once in a while the restore just glitches and doesn't work. Very rare but happens to me sometimes.
Just back up your apps with tibu

It's because you changed rom flavors. To Google you got a new device as your I'd changes when you flash a different rom like stock to cm10. Stock to stock or cm10 to cm10 will let you restore from google

[Q] how to retrieve sms from nandroid?

App Extractor

Idk if it works if your restoring SMS/MMS data from a CM10 ROM to a TW ROM and vice versa but it definitely works if your nandroid is a TW based ROM and your current ROM is also TW based

Just use SMS backup and restore to backup before switching roms. That's what I used when switching to the S3 and when flashing roms on the E4GT.

+1 on the SMS Backup/Restore, there are a few on the market...
What I do is use titanium back up to back up the data and later restore the data only, not sure if this works from TW to AOSP though...have not tried it, yet.

With Titanium, when you restore the data, does that include contacts and apps as well?

Yea but if you add contacts via your Google account you may get doubles.
Titanium Backup also has a great backup/restore option for SMS and MMS, works regardless of the ROM you are on and the ROM you are restoring to

Wasn't sure of that, reason why I didn't respond earlier. Thanks for clearing it. I usually don't flash AOSP roms...

I have just successfully extracted sms and mms from nandroid (CWM) backup.
Backed up system was CM7 and restored to CM10 on Milestone2.
I used Titanium Backup (need the pro version for 'extract from nandroid') and restored 'Phone/Messaging Storage'.

[Q] Uninstalling Gapps

I recently installed [MOD] Android 4.1 to Android 4.2 Mod package! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734), however the camera and gmail app doesn't work. The camera app freezes and the gmail app just force closes automatically.
Is there a way to uninstall the pack without restoring the phone, or just the camera

Format /system and reflash your current ROM and your current ROM ONLY. Then you can reflash 4.1 gapps.
