Sometimes when I flash new ROM gapps install automatic when I login Google play. Sometimes I install them one by one. What's going wrong and does not install auto?
Sent It From Outer Space.
Not all roms are made to auto install your apps. If Im not mistaken that is a sense rom doing and any rom that i not sense based wont auto download is my theory.
Jelly time has auto install, but now I'm running code fire and i have to install one by one. Always does clean install.

AOSP and AOKP roms, such as CM based roms need gapps to be flashed. Some of these roms have the gapps package included in the zip file, that is a decision of the dev or cook who does the job. All of the Sense roms, do not need gapps to be installed as they are built from stock roms and are modified versions of a stock rom ported from other device or not.
Hope it helps
Always flash the gapps pack. But sometimes when i signed in Google play, the app that was installed before full wipe, installed automatically.

Ok. I think I see what you're saying now. It's not gaps that you're talking about; its the automatic restore of other apps.
People have said that you need to flash the ROM and gapps together, without rebooting the phone in between.
That's am talking about. But installing without reboot between is not the solution.:sly:

Did you back up, either using Titanium Backup (or similar app) or nandroid? If not, you'll need to install everything manually using the "My Apps -> All" tab in the Play Store.

Yeah i know the manual way. When i use jellytime ROM (now i use codefire X) all apps restore from app store, without backup with titanium or similar program.

Hi there!
I hope i'm not opening a repeated thread. I've search ( not correctly i think ) but i couldn't find any significant answer.
I've recently installed MIUI on my defy...
Now i want to install cyanogenmod and i'd like to know whether i can flash over miui without losing any data nor app.
Or should i have to downgrade to Froyo, lose ( surely i'll do a backup ) all my data, root my phone, install SndInit Defy and flash cm7?
Thus, what i have to do?
Thanks,
regards.

Well.. it won't brick your phone if you try to install the rom just by applying and wiping cache/dalvik only. I wouldn't recommend it, but you could give it a try. Do a backup first.
But despite that, I don't see that making a backup of the important apps and data via Titanium and applying that afterwards is so much work.

You see, the problem is that once i try to restore all apps from Titanium, it always ask the permission ( i.e. if i want to install the app or not )! It doesn't do a silent-install.
It's such a boring thing tapping "Install" for over 60 times :\.
Am i wrong or is there a way to do a silent restore of all backups?

I've read that only Titanium Backup Pro has this feature... I'm disappointed :\.
i wanted to know this too.
i am on cm7 and updating it is a cake.... i wanted to know if i can do the same interchangeably with cMIUI.
since both the roms are still developing. trying each and restoring backup is a pain.
any advice?

I have used both and I am currently coming back to CM7.
MIUI is somewhat frustrating for me, constant forceclose on the most basic apps and every update requires some kind of retinkering to get it back to work correctly (like reinstalling gapps and Ti).
Also, i dont like the stock MIUI apps such as dialer, messenger and contacts. I know that I can replace them but its a custom ROM and it think it should be optimal out of the box. I can deal with replacing one but at least three are too many for me.
I know this wasnt supposed to be a review but i wouldn't bother replacing CM7 with MIUI.
How risky is it to restore apps backed up in TiBu on GB to a new ICS install? I imagine some apps would install differently depending on whether your ROM is GB or ICS.
Another question, are apk's from Play Store downloads saved to your phone? I guess instead of the TiBu route I could pull the apk's off my phone and then batch install with Android Injector.
Thanks.
Can't hurt to try, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. Apps are stored as apks in /data/app, but if you just restore those you won't have the app data.

Well, of course do a full wipe; as for restoring apps, it won't hurt if it ends up not working, just reinstall it fresh, and it saves time if it does work.
You can restore your apps, but can't restore data. However, I've noticed some apps don't like to be re-installed going back to GB. Youtube is one for sure.
I do it all the time with no problem.

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.

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.

Hello,
I'm thinking about rooting my phone (HTC One X 4.1.1, CID_102) and I want to make sure a few things:
1. I'm going to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Exactly as it says there.
Is it ok?
2. When a new update is released, how can I update my device with the root? I will keep using the stock rom, only with ROOT.
3. How can I backup all of my data? Including pics, SMS, whatsapp, app settings and information and etc.
4. Is there an option that when I start my device again after it was formated, it will download all of the previous apps? if not, then I need to make a list of all of my apps.. about 35 but still.
Thanks!
1. Great choice!
2. You need to flash stock recovery. And restore any system apps you've deleted.
Then update normally and you won't lose root.
3. Do a backup in ClockWorkMod recovery or whatever recovery you use. Transfer it to your PC afterwards for safe storage.
4. Download titanium backup and back up all your apps. Then transfer the backup to PC.

Thank you, I guess I will ask about it when there is a new update.
Can you help me with questions 3 and 4?
Well the steps are :
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom recovery
In that custom recovery is an option backup and restore, when you press backup it runs a complete nand backup of everything on the phone except the sdcard.
If you want to just backup parts like sms,whatsapp etc etc....then you can use titanium backup like TT said or another program called carbon. These apps allows you to backup just parts that you wantnto backup and restore after an update.
I always start with a clean install of all apps and stuff, it "feels" better to me. But that is a personal opinion

1. Is there a better application than "freedom" for that use?
2. I want the CM10 keyboard, because it's very good, swipe is also in my language. How can I put only the keyboard?
1 . Can you explain a bit more specific the "freedom" part ...i don't know that ....I'm a noob
2 . You want only the swiftkey keyboard ? Its a install from the playstore right ?

1. Freedom is an application that lets you (with root) to get stuff from applications that costs money (in-app purchase).
2. No, the CM10 has the latinme (if I'm ont mistaken) keyboard, that Android 4.2 has as stock, and it has swipe feature. In CM10 they put swipe in more langauges so I want to use it.
I think that if I'll install the GAPPS from CM10 then it will install this keyboard also. In order to do that, I just need to put the .ZIP file in my phone, and from the recovery install it like I installed SU?
Can I delete it later? and the gapps will update also from market (and not blocked like a pirated application)
Here's the keyboard, install like normal .apk. Pulled from android 4.2.1.
http://db.tt/g7ej8rog
1 . So if i understand it right its some sort of illegal app that gets in app purchases for free ? If so .... its illegal on xda
2 . CM10 is more TT's department i never used those roms so i don't know much about them....sorry, hopefully TT is reading along with us and can shine a light on the keyboard thingy

oh he replied to me, I will update in short if the keyboard works for me as I want or not.
This is just a warning.
Any app that allows you to download a paid app for free is classed as warez on XDA and is not allowed. You can not upload any app on XDA that is a paid app. The warez policy also includes trying to get around in-app purchases.
ok, sorry.
TT, I installed what you sent me, but for some reason the keyboard doesn't appear on Language & keyboard menu.
EDIT:
Didn't notice, it was installed but it doesn't swipe in my language, but in CM10's keyboard (at least for the Galaxy Nexus) it is.
Is there a way to put their keyboard on my phone?

No it's not those.. It consists of Google back up, sync, play store, and other things, but I think it'll be better to just wipe the system, reflash ROM, and then flash kk gapps.. You should be up and running by then

This. Anytime you are moving to a new base (in this case Android 4.3 to Android 4.4) your best option is to do a full wipe and fresh install. You can backup and restore your app data to the new version, just not your system settings.
The CM installer tried to outsmart this but if it doesn't work perfectly, just do a full wipe and fresh flash.
However, if you want to try flashing a KK Gapps package, I'm sure it won't brick your phone. So it's worth a shot to see if that fixes it. It will only waste 30 seconds of your time if it doesn't.

No. I said that WON'T brick it. That's why it's worth a shot.
No risk. High potential reward.
You might also try using Titanium to manually uninstall all google apps and services before flashing the KitKat Gapps package.
