Has anyone else noticed that when flashing from a stock ROM to aosp, the wallapaper previously used with a different aosp ROM is remembered and used? I always wipe data cache delvik and system. Somehow my phone always remembers what wallpaper I had previously. Maybe this is just minor but is it possible that it isn't wiping everything? Idk, maybe there's a simple reason but I was just wondering. Thanks
Is this before or after restoring apps that you notice this. My wifes phone doesnt do this.

Its before installing anything other than gapps. Maybe gapps is doing it somehow
Maybe you check the settings when you're logging in to your gmail account where it ask you restore all data and apps from previous phone. Don't remember the phrase but something like that if you do check it then it will restore the wallpaper

Having an issue with one of my epics that half of the stuff in the market says not compatible, but on the other epic its fine. I know i downloaded this market enabler app and it ended up messing up my phone and im sure thats the issue, but since then i completely restored the market and all the market apps. It's still messed up. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this without wiping the complete phone?
Check your build.prop and see what your device is listed as. A text editor can view it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
already done that, everything in build prop says epic.
Can you list some of these apps so I can verify it is not just a market error? The same thing happened right after the EI22 OTA. It takes Google a week to catch up on new firmware.

Another question is are you using an app to change your LCD density? I had done so and a lot of apps said not compatible until I set to default and rebooted.

Well thats a interesting point.... i have my lcd density edited just via my build prop. im going to change it back and see if that fixes it.
edit: changing my density from 200 back to 240 doesn't fix the problem
I've had this problem before... ultimately google talk kept saying failed login. More than likely messed up data somewhere. I ended up flashing rom and delete all data dalvic and cache. When I tried to advance restore data from cwm this problem came back. Best to restore from titanium or my backup.

yeah i still cant figure it out, i think maybe the best thing to do is just restart everything from scratch.

Do you mean it didn't wipe data or didn't fix the market problem? You should have to accept terms and conditions in market again to show it wiped data. As for apps still being incompatible, you need to Odin back to stock, something got out of whack...probably still something in the build.prop.
it wiped data, still didnt work. My build prop is fine. its the same as my other epic that works fine. same rom same everything. only different is one is on boost and one is on VM

That is probably it. For the one carrier, the Market probably hasn't been set to recognize EL30 yet.

Just one day it started showing the device as incompatible whereas the other device is not. Any apps that were compatible at one time? This happened to me with HBOGO then a week later it cleared up, like Google had to fix something.
Ever since I've started flashing ROMs, I've become accustomed to jumping on the market and re-installing all the apps that were deleted during the wipe process. No problem really, I like the idea of a fresh install. However, oddly enough, since flashing Ev1lArt's Wicked v7 and now his JB v3 Roms, the apps from the store persist. Third party apks are still in my downloads and I can re-install them, but the ones from the market instantly start downloading and updating once the phone is done booting up.
On one hand, I think it's fantastic! No more searching the store for all the apps I want.
On the other hand I'm concerned this is an indication of something gone wrong.
If anybody has any insight, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
Edit: Another question/afterthought. When I went from Wicked v7 (ICS) to v3 (JB) I used Odin and the root66 tar for a clean JB install. I was under the impression partitions would be re-allocated during this process, but there was no PIT file and the instructions are very clear about which boxes to check (ie, don't check re-partition). Am I missing something? Are PIT files not necessary going from ICS to JB? Also interesting to note, when I booted up after ODIN, my apps, wallpapers, Nova Launcher setup etc were all still there. I thought the point of doing a fresh ODIN install was to get the phone to an "out of the box" condition.
Am I just a worry wort? Should I just be happy that some Android magic has saved me some hassle? Thanks again.
Google is supposed to back up what was on your phone and then red download it (restore) from the play store. Downloads always stay, unless you wipe it.
When you say "wipe it", do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery? Cuz I always do that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That doesn't wipe storage/sdcard. The folders you see when you plug into a computer. Uninstalling apps also doesn't delete those folders
On some roms when you flash on the locations setup screen it will ask if you want to restore your apps from google play...if you leave it checked it well immediately start downloading your apps based off your google account...
Googles backs your data up always when flashing a new rom fireup the play store and go throught the log in thingy there will be an option that you can tick it says "keep my phone backed up whit google" simply untick and voila... its no issue at all trust me

If you are a little paranoid and want a true clean install, wipe system in recovery before you install your preferred rom. The Google restore had been hit and miss for me over the years so I stopped checking the box and relied on titanium backup. Sounds like it is working better now.
I'm not sure if this was discussed already and resolved for I didn't see it.
For some reason I am not getting Facebook updates in my notification bar any more. When I was on stock I was getting them and I still get notifications now from other apps. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, checking the settings, deleting the sns file in root explorer, and trying and inverted Facebook. I am on jedi 6.2.1 with an aosp blue theme,perseus kernel and I did a clean flash when I added the rom. Not sure what's wrong but any suggestions will help.
Sorry again if this was posted already but I didn't see it when I did a forum search.

Yes, has been discussed before. The answer is that Facebook notifications suck no matter what ROM you're using.

Fixed the problem and finally have Facebook notifications and fb messager notifications. What I did was wipe all roms and restore to factory, I clean installed all my roms, and when I went to restore apps from titanium backup I only installed missing apps not system data etc. I heard someone say this could be the problem when restoring with data and it seems like that's the case.

I'm sure it's an app that's causing this issue, buy I cant figure this out. My notifications keep resetting to silent some how. Mainly my email notification sounds and occasionally my text message sounds.
Anyone experience this too, or found the culprit?
Do you installed any battery saver app? If yes check the setting for this app and stop the "auto turn off sync"
or install an app called " auto sync" available in the store..

Yeah I was going to tell you to go check what was the last thing you installed last? That might b causing the problem your having! Fyi
Most of those battery app's are junk and don't really help you! That's why I learned with my Skyrocket, not to use unnecessary app's. I've tried everything with that phone. And over time you'll see what is good and what is junk!
So NOW if you want to clear out the audio setting!
Then go into setting, applications, All, setting, clear data, reboot into recovery and then wipe cache & dalvik and see if it's still happening. After you set up your audio sounds! Might b something that was, corrupt in the data causing it!

Clearing out your setting data, you don't need to b rooted to do that FYI.
And another thing if it's a real problem for you then do a FDR [factory data reset] and you should b good to go then.
I'll say search read and you'll find your answer!!

Hey, I found out the issue to this problem.. Not sure if it can be posted somewhere as "Fixed"...or maybe I should start another post with the original post inside it for reference??
I had my Ringtones/Notification sounds I downloaded from the web or created on my SD Memory card. I was using the sounds from there and not the device. I have now copied and pasted them into the Ringtone and Notification folders on my Device itself and they stay.
To test this, I used 2 different Google e-mail accounts and set 1 Ringtone/Notification sound from my Device and the other Gmail account to a Ringtone/Notification sound from my SD memory card. The one from my memory card kept changing to a 5 Digit number. The other one didn't..
I hope this helps others????
I've wiped multiple times in twrp 2.6.3.3 and done it three four times before flashing a ROM through Odin again. I even went as far as doing an advanced wipe and wiped everything including the system. Buy my problem I'm having is I'm a little confused as to why when I flash a ROM with Odin, I keep getting the same wallpaper I had with that firmware. I didn't even have that wallpaper before I started this from stock. Its the p600ztubnb1_p600zztbnb1_home.tar.md5 file. Its like my tablet just remembers what wallpaper I had with that firmware. Even though I wiped everything. I even took my SD card out before wiping. Any ideas? Or am I a worry wart?

Is the OP using Samsung backup/restore services? That one saves the wallpaper for sure, I have been teaching myself to the point of softbricking the device how to recover, to bring it back to the same state I like it etc. So yes, sometimes online services might be giving you options that drive you betty.

I know Google has the backup and restore setting and you'll see it checked when setting up your ROM on first run. A quick look on the net some people think it also backs up wallpaper. I've never had that happen but then I don't flash much anymore...
