Good evening,
I just bought a second (used) Galaxy Nexus as a reserve and restored a CWM Backup from my main device.
So far no problem, but both in the Play Store and in the android device-manager, the two devices get listed as only one.
When I install apps using my desktop PC and the Play Store, the app ends up on both devices, and when i let the device-manager call the device, also both devices ring.
I would prefer if every device have got its own entry
Deleting and re-entering my Google Account on the reserve-device wasn't a solution, exactly like the un- and re-installing of the Google device-manager-app.
Do you know how Google identifies the devices and i can fix the problem?
Have you changed your device host name?

Thanks, but it didn't help, i added a "new" to the hostname, rebooted the device, deleted and re-added my google account, but there is still no change in the device-manager

Make sure Titanium Backup is installed. Then remove all Google accounts.
Open Titanium Backup -> Menu -> Under Your Device "Manage Android ID" -> Create new (random) Android ID
Hopefully this works.
Mh, thanks, but it didn't help either...
I installed Titanium Backup, deleted the google Account, rebooted the device, created a new Android ID, rebooted again and added the google account again, but the android device manager still knows only one device.

Hey everyone,
I've spend about 3 hours researching these forums and tinkering tonight and I'm at wits end. Help would be appreciated. I am trying to get all of my phone's apps onto the KF.
Here is what happened...
Preface) I used KFU 0.95 to root my phone and install Google services. I synched my Google account
A) 6.3.1 update unrooted my phone. I used KF Utility to restore root.
B) Several apps in my Google Play Store are coming up as "incompatible with this device" (were doing this before step A as well), but I want to install them on the KF.
C) I used by Android Phone and Titanium Backup Pro to sync my backups to Google Drive (which takes a long time, btw).
D) I opened Google Drive on the KF and selected files that end in .apk.gz (which is the actual app, right) one at a time - can more be selected at once?
E) Astro File Manager opens to my system/app folder, but when I go to put it in there, it says "no file selected" - so nothing gets installed on the KF.
F) It's late and I'm not sure how else to go about getting these apps to the KF.
Thanks in advance!

Download the backups from drive, and download titanium on your fire. Move the ti backups to the titanium backup>backups folder. And run restore from titanium
sent from my Nokia 5110
OK, Thanks. I have TiBu on my Fire, but when I double click on the file in Google Drive to download it, Astro File Manager comes up. When it takes me to a destination folder directly after that, and I hit "OK", AFM says "no file selected"...why would it do that?
Also, when I do my backup, it gives my a lot of files, some ending in .tar.gz, .properties, and of course the apk.gz - is this normal? Should I only try to DL the apk.gz?

I recently did a backup using TiBu from MoDaCo to an ICS ROM. There should likely be 3 files per app you are backing up (I did Dead Space). The 3 files should end with: .apk.gz, tar.gz, and .properties. I downloaded all 3. I then went into TiBu and went into Batch from the menu. Under batch, I verified the backups and then restored. Hope that helps a bit.
How did you dl them, what program/app did you use?

The full (paid) version of TiBu lets you integrate with Box/Dropbox/Google Drive, so you could use one of those. In my case, I actually just connected the KF to my PC and copied the files over and then back once I had changed ROMs. Either will work, but the files need to end up at least in the Titanium Backups folder when you're ready to restore (I think, there may be a way to change backup locations in TiBu settings, I just haven't messed with it).
I have the paid version. I'm still trying how to get this stuff from Google Drive and onto the Kindle. What folders did you use to move the files? Do you have to move all three or just the .apk?
You have to move all 3 files for TB to load them up for restore. Sdcard/titaniumbackup/files go here

So, I just need to run a "batch", "restore" and they will be functioning?
Assuming they show up you can batch restore, or restore app or app+ data per app from the bottom of the list in the backup restore tab.
Restoring apps + data across different roms is not generally a good idea, I usually do app only. Certain apps I do data restore, and I'm always watching for issues caused by it.

Is this the easiest way to get the apps that are listed as "incompatible with this device" added to a rooted 6.3.1 KF? It seems really complicated and time consuming.

For that you can side load an apk file and run it from any file manager, it'll install aside from any app specific problems. Side load is basically sourcing the app apk you want, plopping it somewhere on the device then installing it. I'll leave how to get those apps up to you and google.
Should keep in mind, it says incompatible for a reason, it may just not work on any given rom/device.

hey guys, so a month or so ago I flashed a new rom. I think I messed up with the restore though because I remember that Titanium Backup asked if I wanted to update my android ID.
I did.
Everything that i use everyday works fine - EXCEPT - two things that I have noticed.
chrome to phone doesnt work (instant unable to connect error)
And pushing apps from the app store on the web doesnt work (although the playstore on my phone works fine)
I also noticed in the settings of the play store (web based) that it is not showing my phone as being connected anymore.
To be more precise, the "last used" column just has " - - "
So I'm guessing I boned the android ID.
So I did a complete wipe and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Did not restore any apps from the market or from TiBu.
The phone will not show up on the webbased version of the store.
I added my secondary gmail account and it saw it! I was able to push. This is good, but I have purchased apps from the other account.
I wanted to test it out, so i factory reset and added my secondary gmail account as my main.
Now THAT wont push! I have no idea whats going on and how to correct this issue.
All:
Just updated to a custom ROM and did a user app backup using Titanium that I synced across to Google Drive. Now that I've completed the ROM installation, I'd like to retrieve my user apps. I can see the files on Google Drive, but TiBu is not behaving properly when I select the 'Sync to Google Drive' schedule.
I notice that it is prompting me each time that I select the option to Login to Google Drive, which is not typical behavior, but I'm not getting an error/warning either. I'm going to remove and re-install TiBu to see if that helps. Has anyone seen anything like this? Running latest version of Nitrogen ROM and ElemX kernel.

I might just be too lazy to figure it out...
But, I have never been able to restore from Google Drive.
Nor has a sync function ever worked in any direction except from devce to the cloud.
Whenever I performed a restore of the type you are referring to I always DL'd my TiBU folder from drive to my phone locally.
Then restored.
I started using swift backup and it's been outstanding!! The pro version was 6 bucks and worth every cent.
It works flawlessly with Google drive too. There is a free version available too.

Thanks for your reply. I finally got it to work with another ROM, not sure if the issue was ROM related or possibly tighter security from Google. I've never had a problem with syncing back from the cloud, although I'll admit that it is a bit non-intuitive when using it.

Hello everyone.
I can't install or update any apps because Play Store doesn't see any Google account - it says I need to log in but I am already in.
I think I know what happened. My friend wanted to delete some apps (docomo, Google) which he doesn't need and after factory reset docomo apps were installed but some Google weren't.
So, could you tell me which apps are installed (with APK names if possible) on the device at start?

If your friend just deleted those apps from within your devices settings app, a factory reset will restore those apps again.
System apps are only permanently lost if they are removed with high privileges (having root access).
Can't you log in manually in play store or remove your current account from the phone and then reconnect it?
Also, did it help to delete the data of play store as well as cache?

Are you able to sideload the app?
You can download it directly from the WhatsApp site.
However, if it needs Google Play Services to work correctly, then you're probably out of luck, unless you have a custom recovery and can flash a GApps package.
AFAIK this should work:
- Create a local backup in Whatsapp
- Copy the WhatApp folder from your old phone to your new phone using a computer
- Install WhatsApp on your new phone and restore the backup

I tried this method, its described on whatsapp help page:
Restore from a local backup
If you want to use a local backup, you'll need to transfer the files to the phone using a computer, file explorer or SD Card.
To restore your backup:
Download a file manager app.
In the file manager app, navigate to your local storage or sdcard > WhatsApp > Databases. If your data isn't stored on an SD card, you might see "internal storage" or "main storage" instead. Copy the most recent backup file to the local storage's Databases folder of your new device.
Install and open WhatsApp, then verify your number.
Tap RESTORE when prompted to restore your chats and media from the local backup.
-----
But it doesn`t prompt me to restore from local backup, just google account.
That's strange. I remember I used it some years ago when Google Backup was not yet available.
Last time I installed WhatsApp I first copied the directory Internal Storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp to the new phone using MiXplorer. Then during installation everything was restored, with the exception of the messages of the current day. These I lost.

P40 is still Android 10 I guess so maybe in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/
Its Android 11.
HEY. So I've found a good solution for this. On your huawei phone without google services, install GSPACE
. After that clone your whatsapp in gspace, open Whatsapp in gspace, then login there with your number. Local backup will be reckognized, accept it. Then go to your backup options in settings in the gspace whatsapp and backup to google drive. Then login on your new phone and use backup from google drive. I couldn't find that tutorial anywhere but it worked for me

there´s a more complex way
1- If you have access to huawei phone with GSM services ( P30 Pro or another one) you can use the phone clone app to copy whatsapp from your P40 pro to these device
2- After this you have to do a backup with google drive
3- From the huawei phone with GSM services you can copy the whatsapp folder to the new S22 and restore everything with any loose
