I did a factory reset and then restored my apps and system settings with Titanium backup. Now I cannot get past the lockscreen. I have set up a 4 digit code, but the tablet says it is wrong. I was fine until I did the restore with Titanium.
In HC after 4 wrong entries it gave you the option to reset the password using your gmail address. But in ICS I get no such option. I am stuck. How can I get past this to get back into the tablet? Do I have to do a complete reinstall and if so, how do I do that when I cannot unlock the tablet?

I installed the leaked ICS over HC 3.21. I updated the leaked version 2 times and ended up with the final leak, which appears to be the same as the official release. The bootloader is stock.
I rooted the tablet and backed up with Titanium backup. Everything was working, except it had some stutters when it would not respond for a few seconds.
When I did the factory reset it seemed file. But some apps were not reinstalled by the Google server backup and the WiFi settings were lost. So I restored the missing apps and system settings with Titanium backup. When I restarted the tablet after the restoration, I could not longer use my 4 digit code to unlock the tablet.
I can get into the recovery menu, but I cannot figure out how to choose the "wipe" option.
There is no option after trying the unlock code to enter my email address as there was for HC.
Let me know if you need some other information. Thanks for your help.

ok kool thanks for the info!
well i dont remember the stock recovery very much...but power button should still be select and vol buttons to navigate.
if you cannot wipe from recovery there is a key sequence to wipe data...
1) Place the rotation lock switch in the up position 2) Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock 3) With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button. 4) Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button. 5) Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen 6) Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
if that still doesnt work...do what u did before and flash the update.zip from the sdcard...
just a word of advice...restoring apps is ok...and system data like wifi passwords...bluetooth pairings etc
but once u get into restoring apps WITH data.,bad things can happen. ive seen it myself and no longer restore any data...just apps and bluetooth pairings..
cheers man!

That's disappointing to hear. I thought that was the advantage of using Titanium backup compared to just installing the apps manually from the market. I will restore more selectively.
emails, texts, voicemail just stops - it doesn't freeze or anything, but I notice the 4G triangles stop alternating colors and I get nothing. It's only after I reboot the phone does everything start pouring in - Here's my info:
running stock UVKL1, 2.3.6 rooted -
using titanium b/u but have frozen nothing that could cause this
any ideas?
I have no idea. I'd factory reset and re-root - at least it would possibly clear up whatever corruption or issue that would be causing it, after a titanium backup of course, I'd also restore apps WITHOUT data, just in case.
Could also confirm your APN settings?
Okay, so i was stupid enough not to notice that this is a MOD for S4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303360
Anyways, i installed the mod and now my notification bar is gone. Further, I keep getting "unfortunately #ffd7d7d7 has stopped working" every other minute. Also, it is taking very long to boot from power off.
Any solutions that don't involve in me losing my data?
I've tried installing the remove notification bar file from that post, but that didn't help
Thanks

Okay, I fixed it by installing the newest android update, however, now my phone has become very slow. Any suggestions?
Did you do a factory reset after installation?

No, i just installed the new firmware. I dont really want to lose all my data.
Is there a way to back it up that can allow me to restore it easily? Like an app or something which will restore everything- like whatsapp messages etc..

I assume that your phone is rooted.
Search for titanium backup in play store and backup all your apps. I'm not entirely sure if it will backup your messages and contacts, so I suggest that you use an app called super backup as well.
Try to reinstall your firmware and see if your phone is faster. And make sure you only backups application and not system settings, since those settings might make your phone slow again. I will also suggest that you transfer the backup folder to your computer, just to be on the safe side. Re-download the apps and restore your files after the installation
I'm not sure If this post covered all your questions, so feel free to ask me any questions that you might have
On a 2013 LTE Nexus 7 with the latest 5.0.2 installed, my home button doesn't work. The back and recent apps buttons work fine, but the home button doesn't do anything. Like the rest of the buttons, it responds to touch with an animation, but it doesn't take me home, ever, and it also doesn't launch Google Search on hold. I've read in other posts that there should be a "Home" menu option in Settings under the Device section, but I don't have that either. Another oddity, quick settings pulldown from the status bar isn't working. I can pull down the notification tray, but cannot pull down the quick settings above it.
Doing some tinkering of my own, I can tell you the following:
Wiping the data partition resolves the problem, but I'm trying to keep my user accounts, home screens, apps intact, hence my continued search for solution
Using a different launcher (Google Now Launcher via Play Store), the home button works fine but I'd rather use the default system Launcher
Reflashing the factory system image doesn't resolve the problem
There are no force close error messages
Clearing data/cache for the Launcher app doesn't resolve the problem
Clearing all cached data (through the storage menu option within settings, for each user) also doesn't resolve the problem
I have been tinkering (root, multirom, etc) but right now I'm on a fresh, unrooted factory system image, but with my "dirty" data partition (I'm trying to keep my user accounts, home screens, apps intact)
Any ideas of what might be upsetting the Launcher app? Next steps?
Same here.
I haven't tried your entire list, but I've done a few of them. Oddly, when i hit "recent apps", i can then hit "home" and it works. But that's the only time. And my notifications seem to be dead, as well as quick settings...
Background: I'm all stock. I got a system update notice for 5.1.1, which i was pretty sure i already had. So while checking my current OS version, I ended up verifying that i was up to date already. Shortly thereafter, the home button stopped responding and the tablet froze up. I can't remember if it rebooted by itself or if i had to long press the home button to get it to turn off. But when it came back on, it's like everything went factory reset (all the homescreens returned to factory), but all my apps are still there in the app drawer, but they all act as if i just installed them. I have to go into them and re-login to all of them and change all their settings to how i like them. And the homescreens will need to be redone. And the "home" button and notifications still don't work. Tried Nova, but that doesn't fix any of the issues for me. I may try the Google Now Launcher next.
It looks like ahoyboyhoy has tried flashing factory image and it doesn't help, so i'm not going to factory reset if I'll be stuck in the same situation in the end.
To follow up on *my* experience with this problem, I ended up having to format the data partition, so basically a full factory reset. After that, everything was back to normal and I restored apps from a backup.

Thanks for the update! Were you stock? If so, what was the best way you found to do a backup/restore of apps? Did it handle app data? I tried using Helium a few years ago on an HTC device, but I ran into problems that couldn't be overcome. Does Android's built-in backup option work well? I never have had good app data recovery with the buil-in option...

I was stock rooted and I think I used My Backup Pro. Not sure if you need a paid version or root access to backup app data, but I was able to back up apks+data and although it wasn't as seamless as a TWRP backup, it was better than doing things manually.
After a boot loop i had to reinstall stock firmware.
After that, i have installed TWRP and recovered my backup, everything is fine.
Now i notice that every notification is delayed for about 15 minutes. Whatsapp, GMail, everything.
When i made the backup, i did not have any issue with notifications.
Any idea?
App's are not in hibernate or whatever, i've checked everything!
Edit;
This happens only 2 minutes after engaging the lock screen. When unlocked, i get the notifications.
Hm fixed it. XDA aint what it used to be...
What did you do to fix it?
