So this is the weirdest thing ever, somehow i lost the option to crop the wallpapers and now my wallpapers do not scroll, the weird part in it beying that not ever after a backup restore from TWRP i get the function back.
This all appened yesterday when i was trying differente wallpapers and then i wanted to return to my "default" one, which i downloaded and setup since day one, and then i just had an option to set wallpaper and not crop it anymore.
I'm really lost here guys, here is the list of my tryed and failed attempts to correct the problem.
- Delet the cache and data from every wallpaperish app that i could see
- Restore factory defaults and use my normal google account
- Restore defaults and setup without a google account
- Restore backup from TWRP
This last one should have keeped the option as i had it by the time of the backup, but dosen't
OK so i'm stupid (insert facepalm), it seems kitkat does not give the crop option anymore
Just saw an article on kitkat that says it inteligently disables and enable scrolling
But can anyone explain how this "inteligent" thingy works

Sorry for setting this question at such a high place. But i´m asking me since i have an DHD (or Android) how the automatic backup from Android (2.2 and on) works. If i enable Save my settings (under Settings -> Privacy) so it will be stored somewhere in the google universe. Without the chance of get control of it, just in case to see what is stored, can i delete some of this things etc. And if i deactivate the option it says it deletes all copies on the google server, if a activate it then once again how long takes it to update all again ?
The reason why i now ask is:
I have formerly installed CM 7 and backuped all data, did a fresh install and activated the option not in the beginning (in case to overwrite some of my settings with too freshly data ) and forgot it after that for a while. Just tested today an Sense ROM and recognized there where no Wifi Settings and so on. Then i found out why, the HTC Sense ROM came with automatic activated "Backup Data" and overwrited all of my longer ago saved data. Now i switched back to my CM 7.02 with Nandroid and activated the option again (off and on, to delete it the first time). So, my question: How long take the backup ? When do Google backups my data - on a restart - after some hours ? Someone have an answer ?
Thanks anyway
Hi there,
I already searched about this but i cant really find anything useful to me.
The problem is: I have a HTC Desire and everytime I change rom from new sense he restore my old apps from the old roms.... How can i stop that auto installation? Its so annoying.
Best Regards!
portela =)
U mean google's automatic backup?
Settings>Privacy>Backup Settings
Either the previous post or are you using an EXT partition for data2sd? If so, you will have to format that partition in between flashing roms.
If you flash new roms, you should do a full wipe. All installed should be deleted with this action.

Yes, I am talking about google's automatic backup...
I was already there before but I just dont want apps restore... i want contacts from google :\
And "Automatic Restore" disabled solves this?
Are these google apps or apps you installed yourself which reinstall themselves?

What was told: Do a full wipe before flashing a rom. With this action the /data partition and ext partition (and some other partitions, but these two are the were apps will be installed) will be formatted. Now apps should not install "themselves". A solution for now:
Manually uninstall the apps which reinstalled themselves.
And you can turn google's automatic backup off . You get the google contacts from syncing with google account (settings>accounts & sync). I also turned off this automatic backup, sync on the described way and i have all my google contacts on my phone. Furthermore, i (would) backup myself with titanium backup + nandroid + sms backup & restore.

I always do full wipes when I install roms... I think that the problem is that sense or something saves downloaded apps and it downloads again the apps.

Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
- Text and multimedia messages
- Settings in the Messages application
- Web bookmarks
- Keyboard dictionary
- Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
Wireless & networks
Sound & display
Location
Applications
Date & time
Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
I really dont understand how dont u all have this problem.. even the background desktop picture is there after another rom install >_>
still searchin more ideas :\
Now i am finished with my knowledge. Sorry. It sounds so strange that apps reinstall themselves.
sad thanks by the way
any1 with an idea about this?
bump help
The only way I have found is as soon as you've gone through the setup process on initial boot with a new ROM, rush to Settings > Applications, then terminate Market application and clear its data. It stops it autodownloading the apps again.
Then I install what i want using Titanium Backup, and then I run Market. It does a "first start" user agreement thing and you're all back to normal, without the market redownloading apps you downloaded under previous ROMs.
Not a brilliant solution but better than nothing.

Whenever I change Rom I don't add my Google account in the initial setup. Before u do that, go settings , privacy, backup/restore. The auto restore option is ticked but greyed out so u cant select it. Tick auto backup box, de select auto restore, and deselect auto backup again. Now it should'nt restore anything...
Bonjour,
I've got a problem with this rom.
I've installed it with this link (http://www.cooldevs.com/archives/120), and just after it, flash:
- Stock_Hboot.zip
- RcTweaks For Stock Hboot
- Weather Pack
Reboot...
There was few decreasements in comparaison of InsertCoin, but the more annoying is the new Market which bug.
He try to restore me all apps (I don't know if it's linked to my problem)
I fell asleep during restauration of all apps andat wake up, I saw that few apps didn't ben restored.
- So I tried to restore them but impossible : I had an download error which was impossible to resolve even with delete the cache of Market application, wipe dalvik cache (executing the script which migrate it to sd-ext on the way). I precise that is was not a problem of space of my ext4.
- A second message at startup which tells me ""your phone is using more current than the charger is able to deliver...". For the moment, I never had this message (maybe it's because it's a pure Sense 3 rom I don't know...)
- In the way, I'm asking if there is a way to prevent Market to restore all apps at startup...because it's very penible if I have many applications, and I prefer to choose myself what I'd like to restore (if it's linked lso to my market problem...)
Edit : Even when restoring my rom, I've problem now with my market. Maybe it's the conversion on the fly of my ext3 partition to ext4 (to test the new rom) with 4ExtRecovery which has problem. So I return to recovery, check partition alignement which tell me that my fat32 is not properly aligned. I wipe partition table to rebuild all and I give you some news.
Edit 2: It changes nothing...now my market of my first rom don't work anymore...
Thanks a lot
OK, partition your card properly first and flash your new rom. Then during setup when you link your account to your phone, click you don't want it backed up and restored, remove both ticks. Then you hold power button and turn airplane mode on. You finish setup, push Titanium backup on your phone and restore your apps. Now you turn airplane mode off and the Market won't be downloading anything anymore. If you don't have TB backup, you're screwed mate. You can't abort silly Google restore nor you can choose what to install, flush list or do anything with it. It completely whacks a concept of having a clean install and that is the reason I hate ports even more. I know this is at best a workaround and not a solution, but probably you won't get anything better.

Ok, Thanks I'll try that for the future if I want to re install a new Rom but why I've this problem even in restoring my old rom?
And the most strange is that the problem is there also with my old HTC Hero under Cyanogen :-(.
Thanks.
This is driving me crazy, everything was working crazy, then suddenly all hell broke, and nothing seemed to work, but in the end this is the only program left that I wasn't able to get working normally
Device details :
Model : GT-7100
RM : Stock / rooted / perseus kernel
Philz_Touch_recovery 5.0.6
I was using a USB connector to get some files from a friend (not the first time), but for some reason whenever I tried to copy the files they would hang (folder with 1 nfo & 1 avi file, around 64mb in size), I tried the regular file browser and ES file explorer, but neither worked, and this is where I think I made the mistake
I pulled the usb connector without doing a safe removal, then just went home, a couple of hours later I decided to check for updates on google play, and all hell broke loose (it didn't work and kept FC'ing) , eventually I solved this problem (remove updates, clear cach/data, remove and re-enter account)
Then I launched the S-note, and it kept on crashing, so I tried the following :
1 - FC, clear cache/data (did this for Idea sketch/Mini S-note/ 2 S-note packages) rebooted - result : FAIL
2 - Restore from Titanium bakup (tried to restore app only/data only/app+data) rebooting after each method - result : FAIL
3 - FC, clear cache/data (did this for Idea sketch/Mini S-note/ 2 S-note packages), remove all files from the S-note/S-note export folders on the internal SD card, rebooted - result : s-note now opens, shows an empty list (no saved notes) hangs for 3-4 secs, then crashes
I can only think that by removing the usb connector without doing a save removal caused some system file errors (like on a usb drive), and if this is the case, is there a way to fix them without doing a factory reset ? (can this thread help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396366) I don't want to redo all the work on my beloved note 2 again
sorry for the long OP, but I've tried to include as much info as possible, to clear things for anyone who is kind enough to help
Edit : any idea if this can help ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271978
it says flashable, I've tried flashing the zip file from Philz touch menu but it gave an error
Edit 02: I've done a wipe data/factory reset through Philz touch, a cwm restore caused the problem to return, so I wiped/reset again and restored apps through titanium backup and things are now working again, I'm not sure which system app was causing the problem (though I suspect it was the S-note sync service, but I'm not willing to risk restoring it)
if a Mod can lock this thread/mark it solved, it would be great, not sure if it would be useful to anyone else though
I didn't have your problem of FC's but I cannot manage to restore S-note setting and Notes with Titanium backup. In addition, I cannot get Pop-up note to work after I remove the S-pen. When I try to restore Snote and Mini S note with Titanium, it just says "Restoring" but never finishes. Was it smooth restore for you?
I am trying to restore after a full wipe coming from DMC3 to DME1
Thx
I recently flashed CM12 onto my phone and upgraded to Titanium Backup Pro to backup my apps and data (I also did a Clockwork Mod backup in case of emergency). Everything seemed to go fine until at the end of the restore from TB Pro a system message came up asking if I wanted to change the default messaging app. I couldn't get rid of this message (or get back to TB Pro) no matter how many times I tapped either yes or no on the system message so (reluctanly) I rebooted the phone. I opened TB Pro and found a log which said the restore was complete. I then found that it had restored all the apps but not all the linked accounts, passwords or system settings (it has restored some app settings, like Pocket Informant and Nova even though with Nova I still had to choose to use it rather than the Google option to use it the first time).
I know some people reflash their OS every night so I assume you don't usually have to reconfigure half the phone manually! I'm guessing the stuck message interfered with the restore in some way and so this was just bad luck. Anyone know if there was any reason for the persistent error message about messaging app or if there is anything I could have done to prevent this happening within TB Pro or in general?
