Hello guys, i am having a problem, last night my Adobe flash player automatically got updated, it was previously a system app which was done with titanium, after it got updated, i integrated it into the rom like before.
however i lost 3mb in the process i tried cleaning the dalvick catch and i used sd maid also to delete any dead apps but both did not find anything to clean.
I tired uninstalling it and installing my previous version via titanium backup, but sill i have lost 3mb, Any ideas to how i can retrieve my internal space back?? now I have turned off the automatic updates. thanks.

Were you having the previous installation of Flash player in the sd card?
No, it was originally from the market.
Seriously, you are complaining about 3 MB?
Nevertheless, back to topic: When system apps are updated, the updates are always installed to /data partition. Don't know why, but this gives you the possibility to uninstall updates, which could not be done if updates were installed to /system.
SwiftKeyed from CyanogenMod with Transparent XDA App
Whenever my internal space starts to get low and some of the applications have been updated more than once I uninstall them and the re-install, it seems to be that my phone is storing data after every update so updating straight to the most recent version seems to take up less space.
I dont know if this is 100% correct but it seems to work for me.
Its not about 3mb, thats one case, if several updates happen then you will have no internal space. I dont have a table for my desire, after all my main apps installed im left with a limited 25mb of internal space so every mb matters. il try that aswel TheDarkenedPoet though. thanks for replying
The charge/USB port on my current Epic has taken a dump...
Getting a replacement Epic...PLEASE confirm I'm doing this right.
I have:
Backed up ALL apps on Titanium and in SuperUser
Backed up ALL SMS and contacts as well to SD card.
Now, wipe to factory reset on original (it's rooted, and going back to Sprint)
Then just download Titanium on the new phone and I should be able to 'restore' to all my old apps, correct? Or can I install from the card?
Then use the SMS and contact apps to restore that info to new phone as well?
Also, no crazy kernels etc, I just like a stock, yet rooted phone (namely to remove bloatware crap, but really to run wifi/wireless tether)
Easiest root for GB? (I used the one click method with CWM etc all bundled together before on FroYo)
Or,
Just use the Toad Clean ROM?
Let's keep it simple...I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous lol
Also, I'm a truck driver, so if anything goes wrong, I have no way to find the answer, since my phone IS my internet connection (hence the need for the wifi/wireless; screw Sprint and their $30/mo lol)
THANKS!!
Well if youre getting a replacement and yet to receive it, youll likely have the official ei22 gingerbread. therefore youd wanna head over to this link to root it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339478
you should be able to use titanium backup for apps and also any other apps you used to backup sms and contacts will be backedup to your sd card. when you get your new phone, just take old sd card out and into the new phone... then proceed to download titanium and etc..
it has been in store for a bit, so I doubt it has GB already on it, so I'll either OTA, or google link update it...
I thought the transition would that simple, just wanted confirmation.
Thanks for that link...I'm looking at possibly doing the ACS ICS
Titanium Backup works well, but if you have CWM and a rooted epic you should just do a Nandroid backup and do an advanced restore with data only from that backup. All your info will be restored you just need to reroot your new epic, go to CWM and your good to go.

Also im currently running ACS ICS and it runs great. I always like doing both titanium and a nandroid backup just to be safe that i have all my data fully backed up
Ok, first of all hello....new member her and techno idiot (see below)
anyway, got the upgrade christmas morning and all ok. Only issue i had was the screen tilt which got a bit annoying.
Anyway looked online to see how this could be turned off etc and read someone has restored their "home screen" settings from a backup they did BEFORE the 2.3.5 update. I did this and it then wouldnt show the home page weather widget or 3 app shortcuts i saved on there. I therefore did a factory reset which has sorted that issue but the home page is now like it was before i installed the upgrade.
as petty as is its sounds, the app shortcuts are a little bigger than they were when i upgraded to a 2.3.5 and also the "blue" theme when pressing the app shortcust is now green again.
having done more research online, i read that if you erase the SD card and do a factory reset this will make the phone back to how it was for the 2.3.5 upgrade.
Ive save all my apps & settings today and whilst i dont want to lose all my apps (assume i can simply restore these and not system settings now?) will this factory reset with the SD card blank make the phone as it shud be with the 2.3.5 update?
as i say...techno idiot
thanks for the your help
From my experience, here is how I would handle this:
Get the phone rooted and use Titanium backup to save the apps you said you didn't want to lose.
Then install clockwork recovery and put on a custom rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 is an android 2.3.5 ROM. On this link, it will give the proper instructions to install it. It is really close to a stock version of android with sense 3.0, including a few minor tweaks.
If you want to keep it factory stock - not rooting, I would try wiping it and doing a factory restore..but you would need to sacrifice your apps. In that case, writing down a list and redownloading the apps would work fine..just losing any user data you may want.

I just re-read what your issue was:
Is the only issue that your screen is rotating when you tilt your phone?
Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Auto-Rotation
Unchecking Auto-Rotation should hypothetically fix your situation
Hello XDA Community,
i recently flashed a new rom to my mobile and wanted to restore my apps as
usual containing whatsapp as well. Everthing went well except whatsapp. I
tried to restore whatsapp with Titanium Backup, MayBackUp Pro and the
build-in restore function of whatsapp of course too. I tried every possible
copy and paste solution i could find on the internet but nothing helped.
The result was always the same the only thing which was restored were the
group chat names nothing else all my chats are gone.
I tried all suggestions from this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268031 but nothing helped.
I switched from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151765 to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467.
Please help me to find a solution. Thank You
Do you have the following folder on your sd card?
sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases
The chat backups should be stored in there. I've successfully uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and restored all the chats successfully before.
Yes i have the folder there otherwise i weren't able to use the restore function of whatsapp.
I reinstalled it dozen times but always the same result. Groupchat names visible but empty and all single chats are gone.
Thank u for ur reply
Check the files within that folder, open them up within a text editor or something, just to check they're not corrupted.
Instead of restoring app+data from Titanium Backup, clear app data then uninstall WhatsApp. Then try installing the app fresh from the Play Store first.
Open it and set it up fresh, hopefully will ask to restore the conversations by itself. Afterwards, restore data only with Titanium.
I tried what u suggested but it didnt work. I installed WA fresh from the Market set it up and after that i restored the data with titanium backup. When i start WA after this procedure WA told me the Database is corrupted and asked me if i want restore from sd-card but it doesnt matter if i press yes or no the result ist still the same. WA Groupchats restored but empty and single chats missing.
Thank u for ur reply
Hmm if it's telling you it may be corrupted, then unfortunately the database may be corrupted.
In the Databases folder, can you rename the msgstore.db.crypt file to something else, then rename another slightly older database msgstore.db.crypt-2013-08-XX to msgstore.db.crypt. Then uninstall and reinstall from Play Store again?
I'm hoping it's just the latest file which is corrupted, and the others backups are ok. You may not get all the messages back, you might lose a day's worth of messages if this works. Sorry if you've already tried this too, running out of ideas
Yes i tried this too. So i wanted to prove if the Backups are really corrupted. I installed another ROM (euroskank) and installed whatsapp through the playstore and restored all messages during the validating process. Viola 27.000 messages restored. So now i have absolutly no idea what i can do to solve it and restore it on the ROM i want.
Anyway Thanks for ur help

Hah you wouldn't believe me, that was going to be my next suggestion, restore an old nandroid or new ROM to see if it works. I didn't think it would work because it still has to refer to the files on the SD card, independent of ROM. Glad it's definitely not corrupted though
So once it's installed and working on euroskank, make another manual backup.
Then try Mildwild again, install WhatsApp from scratch, it really should work, finger's crossed!
So finally i could test it. AND it didn't work. Still the same problem. Thats insane. I tried even a previous version of the rom to test if it's caused by the latest one but no got the same result.
Thank u for ur help i appreciate it.

That is insane, that it works with one rom and not the other. Try asking in the ROM thread to see if anyone else has WhatsApp issues?
I'm out of ideas, sorry, hope you get it sorted somehow!
I already did and unfortunately i got no reply till now and nobody got the same problem before. So i am the Columbus here in a bad way. I messaged the developer on xda and Facebook today, i hope he will reply.
Nevermind i thank u alot for trying to help me. You were the only one who at least tried it.

The solution that worked for me...
Hi I was having the same problem as you and also couldn't find anyone who had the same issue. Anyway I was moving from a gingerbread phone to a jellybean phone. So I used a backup app called Super Backup. I tried numerous things that didn't work. This is what I did that did work.
Also backup up your backup before you start.
1. On new phone uninstall whatsapp, then delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage.
2. Restore whatsapp from backup app.
3. Before you run whatsapp delete the whatsapp folder on the internal storage again.
4. Copy the whatsapp folder from the sd card to the internal storage.
5. Run whatsapp.
Let me know of this works for you. It did for me.
Thanks.

Hi, i have the same problem when doing the same trasition from gingerbread and runnymedemod007 transition to the MildWil 14 AOPK version,
Whatsapp finds my backup and askes for restoring, but after resoring there are no messages.
when i install the old Sense rom again i can do a restor and all messages are there...
Did you ever find out how to mak it work?

Unfortunately i didn't solve it. I settled without restoring the messages. You can try what Nicadini suggested.

Tried everything in the thread here and even restoring complete backups of the previous ROM (what works when trying to use whatsapp on a WIFI only tablet) but that doesn't even work.
I think it has something to do with the encryption in the ROM i guess or the way it stores the Phone number, as Whatsapp only wants to restore a message database for the same Phone number...

That can't be the case. If I remember right my phone number was the same as the stored number in wa that day. But if its a crypting problem of the rom u better contact the autor of it. Sry that i cant do more to help you. It got out of my hands.

I think it has to be something like that, because just as you i have made the same transition from gingerbread to MILDWILD 14 Rom, and the problem only seems to be with the WILDWILD Rom.
any other rom that i have tested, the internal restor of whatsapp works like a charm.
So the only thing that can cause the problem is the framework/UI from the Mildwild roms.
I've written to the Dev.from WILDWILD to ask assistence, but so far no reaction.
Tonight i'm going to test a few other MILDWILD Roms to see if the problem is with all the MW roms or only with the 14

UPDATE:
I tried all the other WildWild MOD Roms yesterday and the problem only seems to be with the MW-14 Rom.
With all other Roms the WhatsApp restor works perfectly.
So for now i'm going to stay with the MW CM-8 version and try to Mod that myself a bit.
Seems to be very stable and fast, Also more options in the Camera Settings and i like the ICS look.
Only downside are the quicksettings (i like them more from MW14 or Sense)

Hi,
Sorry i have to dig this thread out, as i need help. Im also facing the same problem, trying to restore my backup file from old samsung S3 phone onto my new samsung note3 phone. I believe maybe somehow, by now, you have figured it out. I need help here. All my single chat history cannot be restored.
The backup file in the database doesnt seem corrupted. I went through a conventional whatsapp restore by pasting the file in the whatsapp database folder and launch the whatsapp after installation and restore. But still, no single chat history. Only group chats.

please help
Hey guys,
Long time reader here ..first time posting!
I usualy have had an easy time rooting and ROMing my nexus devices and a close friend of mine decided to ask me to install the latest version of CM on his Samsung galaxy s2 t989D.. I read up on it followed the usual steps.. Ended up flashing CM 11 nightly and it seems to be pretty Smooth.. Now he had asked me to simply make sure his SMS were backed up nothing else.. So I was extra careful used helium, SMS backup and restore and titanium backups. Now I've been trying to restore the SMS for hours with no luck. SMS backup and restore says the restore was successful but nothing in the SMS app or hangouts.. Titanium asks if I want to restore data, app or app and data..when I hit data it says it was succesfull asks for reboot and still nothing..if I try to restore the app and data it doesn't work..I'm guessing because the app is from 4.1.2 and CM11 runs KK .. I haven't used helium yet but I'm losing hope..why isn't this working? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just tried helium.. Said it was successful but still nothing :/
I might be wrong here, but I think KK stores messages in a different place than JB. Maybe you need to find out where that is and make sure that is where they are being restored to.
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
I would help, but my S2 is on JB stock... And has no messages on it or Sim..... To test.
So any idea how I would go about finding where these messages are?

Have you tried googling it?
If the messages are that important to him.... Your obvious course of action should be return it to stock jelly bean and restore the messages. Done.
Or tell him he's going to have to write down whatever is so important, and have kit Kat with a clean slate.
My phones never have many messages on them.... As they are gone every time I flash something new. I don't bother keeping them. But that's just me.
I'm the same way.. I could care less about SMS..its just bothering me how I can't restore this.. I can view the texts in SMS backup restore so I'm baffled as to why it's not working..
