I unlocked my devices boot loader and rooted updated to 4.2 all had been okay however I then installed apex launcher and got rid of the stock launcher using titanium backup(I don't like leaving loose ends in terms of data I was also stupid enough top not do a backup before installing) but then when I tried to do a minor update (4.2.1 I think) the device rebooted into a massive error screen and I nearly had a fit luckily it booted back to normal fine after a few minutes.
The only thing I can think of for this problem is not having the stock launcher installed so does anyone have the .apk in case it tries to update again.

It should work but be sure to be under android 4.2 or 4.2.1 (depending from which version the launcher has been taken on).

I flashed the newest version of Apex (1.0.2) from the stock rom after I backed up and cleared everything and after the finished installing the Gapps my Market no longer works or Talk and the others. It seems that when I go to Titanium backup their text is read so I tried to clear the catch, restore it and all that. So I purchased TB hoping that it would fix itself but no luck whatsoever.
I really need help here guys!
Thanks,

Go to the apex forum and see if it's a common thing for that version. If not then reflash the rom

I did, no reply so I guess I will just reflash.

Hi
I've posted a few threads relating to my issue, and I keep thinking it is solved, but the issue still lingers for me. The previous posts are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791701
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808195
My current issue is having a few apps write to storage. The 3 apps that are most obvious are:
Dropbox - when exporting a file, it says 'error exporting file'
Beautiful widgets - I download a skin, but it doesn't show up in the downloaded files list.
Sixaxis - I made a custom controller profile, and hit save, but it doesn't save. The folder to put downloaded profiles doesn't seem to exist.
I'm pretty sure this issue started when I used the Gnex toolkit to backup and restore when I was updating from Android 4.0.3 to 4.1.
If I knew it would help, I would go so far as to restore back to 4.0.3, and factory reset,
Anyone offer any insight into this?
Thanks
So you probably already checked this, but I remember having this problem when my sd was full...

Yep, still have about 5 GB free
So just to clarify, have you changed anything with your phone such as flashing a rom, rooting, or a custom kernel?
If so you might want go back to stock and see if that fixes it.

Yeah.
My carrier was being really slow about releasing Jelly Bean, so I rooted, and installed it myself.
It was "bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed" for 4.1 and
Maguro_JZO54K_Deodexed_Rooted_FactoryImage_teshxx for 4.1.2
Both just zipped version of the factory image. I didn't change the Kernel beyond that.
My carrier has now released the most current version now, so I could return to stock, then root again.
Sounds like a good idea, and if you're looking for a good Rom,I would suggest minco, it's as stable as stock and a whole lot faster with better battery life.

Think I got it solved.
Previously I was doing a factory reset on the phone, so it was restoring the same ROM.
Today I used the Gnex toolkit, and flashed the stock rom from google, and re-rooted. That seems to have worked. I can export files from Dropbox no problem now.
Glad to hear it

Sorry nub Q,...
Best way to switch roms without losing all my apps every time... Running asop 4.2.1 and would like to check out a few others. But jus thinking about having to redownload all these apps and log in again makes me tired. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.

Titanium Backup.
Been some problems with titanium back up when flashing new roms, see galaxy nexus development threads for some examples, if you want a relatively failsafe method that stores your apps off phone you can use a file manager like astro to back up all your apps into apks then drop the backups into a folder on your computer via usb, along with any media or data you want preserved, then reload after fully wiping phone and flashing new rom, you might have to download a file manager to install the apks if rom doesnt have one. Gather you have a custom recovery installed, dont forget to update it prior to flashing new rom so you can recover if all doesnt go to plan. Good luck

If you're interested in using your PC to back things up, you may as well give apk batch installer a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880
If you are using the latest version of titanium backup, you have the option of creating flashable zips of all your apps with data included. Tried it a few times and it seems to work flawlessly for me. The key is to avoid restoring any system apps. I have about 70+ apps to restore and setup. Before it would take me an hour or two, now is done in about 10 minutes.

That was very useful. First time to know such feature. It seems only available if you donate. Thanks anyway

Titanium backup is useless unless you actually have the pro version. Pro version makes it all one click, set it and forget it. Definitely recommend it for any custom rom flasher.

I was restoring the apps with titanium. and i have to click install on every app, because I am using the free version of it.
During this process I press the home button and under notification I see the titanium restore is in process but looks like its stuck. I think its at the stage where it ask for the prompt and wait until you click on "install" button.
Is there anyway that allow me to bring that button to front using "bringToFront" app or some command that I can run in terminal?
I don't want to reboot the phone and start over again.
Anyone?

buy the pro version it will make your life easier dude!! and well yea that used to happen to me too and for some reason i bought the pro version and since it does it by itself i guess that solved the problem but since then i havent had any troubles with it...
Apps can get stuck sometimes when restoring. Best thing to do is kill/stop the process & manually install the stuck app. Worst case is try to install app w/o the data or you can reinstall via Play Store.

So I uninstalled Nova Launcher in Titanium backup thinking it would revert back to Touchwiz...well that wasnt the case (As soon as I uninstalled it, it started acting crazy so I rebooted the phone and it gets stuck on the SMASUNG part and just hangs there)...so Ive tried reinstalling Nova via a zip from cwm recovery, but this is what it says :Finding update package...Opening update package...Installing update...Installation aborted.
Is there a zip of Touchwiz available anywhere? Any advice? Im REALLY trying to avoid re flashing the ROM because I have some notes and stuff on there that i really need that I hadnt backed up yet unfortunately...
The minute after submitting this thread, I tried a third and final Nova zip i found online and it installed perfectly! Problem solved......
Next time try looking in the PLAY store for an ACTUAL paid app from the store. Then you'll probably won't run into any problems like you were having!!! Or just factory reset and it should put you back too, how it should be!!
Just my 2¢®

If it was your active launcher and you delete it. That had problems written all over it. Did you change to a temporary launcher first? Or was Nova your current?
