Brother has a Evo on 2.3.3 and receiving the install error with space on the phone. I figure just wipe it but not sure if the apps will be restored if I did. Can anyone verify if it does?
Unless you have selected the option to backup apps in the settings menu, then no, they will not restore. Thats the whole point of a reset, it wipes everything clean.

download titanium backup or mybackup pro(root), there is a version for non rooted phones as well and backup your apps.. restore when you get everything back up and running.
My suggestion is that you may want to restore all apps from market just incase one of your apps was causing the issue. Go to market.android.com and you can see all your apps in the upper right under I believe my market apps and will be able to click on each one and restore from there...

Try clearing cache to all his apps to free up space and maybe data to once he doesn't need it on.

Hi,
I have loaded OsiMood onto my phone...
Now, when I try and go to Titanium Backup to restore thigns such as
Buddies Now
Calculator
Clock
Digital Clock
Home screen tips
And click restore it takes forever. Is this the ROM preventing me?

Just curious, did you allow root when you first launched Titanium Backup? You might try removing it and installing again.

Force Close titanium Backup (tap and hold home touch key, task manager, active tab, Exit TB), then restart back up. This may NOT work, for TB only preserves "Data" of those system apps (not apk).
Word of caution: You are restoring "system apps" which is quite delicate...I suggest not restoring any system apps, i know it would be a pain for others, like me, who uses some bloat apps...but just to be safe. Talking from experience and from strong warnings upon flashing different ROMs.

YES, didn't even notice that. I usually say never restore System apps or system data with Tibu. It's great for 3rd party apps and data, but more often times it will end up giving you many FC's and leaving you with a generally unstable phone.
hello i have been using this rom,
freeze a app you would like then wait about 10 sec push the home key then restart the phone even tho TB doesnt stop deleting the app it has actually done it i think its a bug in this rom, when the phone powers on you will notice the app is gone, same steps for restoring if the app is big id wait longer before restarting.

requires some work...you can unpack those system apps from the stock rom and push it to /system/app....
not guaranteed to work, you might end up reflashing....do it on your risk....
Is osimood applied over the rogers rom or replace?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using XDA App
It should replace the existing ROM, sort of. When going from a stock ROM to custom I always do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM. Then when you flash the new ROM, it's basically replacing the stock ROM. I said sort of, because sometime if you don't wipe the data, when you flash the new ROM some of your old data may still be lingering around. Most of the time you will know this because it force closes (FC's) like crazy, kind of like restoring system data with Titanium Backup (tibu).
Once you are on a custom ROM, you can usually flash any new versions without wiping data, and in return all your settings/apps/data is still there after the flash. I usually do this unless the Dev says to do a wipe in the instructions.
Lots of questions..
Do I restore cwm or tibu? Are they the same?
When I wipe can I also do it from settings?

CWM or Clockwork Mod is a recovery platform that is loaded before the Android OS comes up if you press the correct keys. It's used to flash custom ROMS, do a full system backup, wiping and recovery, and some other fun things.
Tibu is designed to backup and restore almost anything in the Android OS itself, ie, apps, settings, and also other fun things like freezing, uninstalling, etc. I say "designed to" because I've never seen Tibu successfully restore system data or apps. The only things I use Tibu for are backing up and restoring of User apps and data, this is helpful when flashing. From a clean install I can usually be back to normal in about 10 minutes using Tibu and then manually entering my google account info, wireless info, ringtones, etc.
You have the ability to wipe from the settings menu, but when flashing new roms it's better to do it from CWM as this wipes your data and cache. Some Devs recommend to wipe the Dalvik Cache also, which can only be done in CWM.
Hope that helps.
I bought Rom Toolbox because i read u can backup and restore apps without problems but thats not the case with me. I backup all the apps fine then i would go on to flash xROM now i wanna restore the apps.. but when i do it always hangs on a random app every time. I can restore each app individually but never batch restore...also for some reason it wont restore data like my dolphin browser i have some bookmarks and stuff n i restored with rom toolbox and it restored the app but not the bookmark n stuff i had on there. Does this mean im doing something wrong? Or is there an option i need to turn on.
Nope, I had that very issue. My guess its a app bug that they haven't fixed yet

Oh so im not the only one with this issue... hope someone can shed some light on this.
Been thinking about purchasing the app.. Free version works fine for me but from what I see this could be a deal breaker.. For now anyways since I do batch install with the free version with no problem.

I occasionally have that problem with titanium backup with a random app, but never any issues with Rom toolbox..
Ok could having both tb and rom toolbox be the cause? Or should i try an older version? If so which one?
Ok i found out Rom Toolbox backs up my app but not the data. Now when i batch backup data for some reason it hangs at a random app... also when i wanna batch restore app + data it hangs also. If i try to restore a single app it does that fine but it won't restore the data with it. If i try to restore the app with data it just hangs... so I'm not sure what's the problem.. tib does not have this problem but i heard its not good to restore data on ics with tib. Anyone else experience this?

go to titanium back up...when you back up apps...it asks you...app only...or app + data... and it does the same thing will hang up on a random app...
Just did it and it did not hang unlike rom toolbox which hangs everytime.
I had to go into system settings -> Applications -> Development and check "USB debugging". Rom Toolbox wasn't restore apps before, but is now restoring them after I checked this option. The description that pops up when you check it says it allows apps to be installed without the users knowledge.
Rom Toolbox uses silent restore in it's batch mode so you don't have to tap "install" and "done" for each app that's restored, so USB debugging is important.

I had the same problem, and USB debuggig worked for me, so thanks! Great advice!
Also, I'm on a Cyanogen based rom and I had to disable "verify ADB installed apps" to get it working...
I am doing full wipe almost every week because of new developments on Sandvold´s ICS. Is it possible to quickly reinstall all apps and widgets after a full wipe? How?
Titanium backup from market or my backup root what i use because u can just save the app without all the data. Just backup all apps then put the backup file on ur computer, then once u have flashed rom update just download the app again off market then send ur backup file back to ur phone(usb) then using the app to restore apps

For me (using BCM ICS) it works great with the google backup. Just choose to backup settings like apps, Wifi passwords etc via Google. When I enter my google password the first time using the new rom, it asks if it should restore my settings. It then downloads all of my apps directly from the play store. However for most apps it doesn't include your app data, but that's OK for me.

I have installed Titanium (free version), and it says:
(...)
Hypershell (fast): NO (only for donators)
Apps installation fast/auto: No (Hypershell required)
(...)
I guess Titanium only does the full backup, with fast apps installation if I donate, right?

The free version of Titanium also restores all your apps with data but you have to confirm each app to be restored. This can be somewhat annoying if you have lots of apps to restore.

But I cant find "Google Backup" on play store. What is the name of the app?
PS: Ive already installed Titanium, but I also wanted to know about "Google Backup"
It's not on Play store. It is found under settings in aosp and >= Sense 2.1 roms. It remembers apps list and starts downloading them after you flash a new rom. I hate this feature.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
Right, it's nothing you need to install. It should be at Settings -> Backup & reset -> "Back up my data".
It can be a bit annoying, especially if your device immediately starts to download tons of data before connecting to wifi, eating up your mobile data limit. (However this backup includes wifi passwords, too). So if you don't have unlimited data, just ensure your device connects to wifi after restoring your google account.
Re:
From what my friend told it should work with the Play Store.
it doesn't seem to be possible with all roms though? Only once my past apps have installed automatically...

Wipe dalvik cache and cache should help with your clock app. As for the Ti Backup app, you may want to try the newest version. Mine is working alright.

Nope didn't work anymore ideas?
Have you tried clearing the cache and data from in the Application Manager? Open System Settings and choose the General tab. From here scroll down and choose Application Manager. Now swipe left three times to the All category. Scroll down to clock and choose it. In the new window scroll down and clear cache then clear data above it. Now reboot and go into TWRP and wipe Dalvik again. This process will delete any alarms you have created.

At this point I would personally re-flash the system. Starting at Step 0 with the guide you linked.
Like all new Samsung roms it has a write protect on the system so you can't write to the SD card get ahold of the write fix and just push it into the system/etc/permissions folder and everything will work again

First off thanks for helping out on both my posts!
I think I got the file it's something like build.prop.sd.fix.zip I'm going to flash it using my recovery. Is that good?
The file is platform.xml and it goes into system/etc/permissions
I had a problem with play store and play services constantly crashing on me. I ended up factory resetting twice I believe and now it works tits
