[Q] Anybody else having trouble restoring apps on CM7 nightlies?

I have an Evo (003 Hardware) and while switching ROMs, at least twice now, I've had trouble restoring some apps using Titanium Backup. The weird thing is, I'ts only some apps, that are having the restore problem, while others seem to be restored, but without their settings saved. (Google Listen is an example of the former, while AdwEX is of the later.
I've verified the backups themselves, and they come back without errors, I've also tried flashing different ROMs like Myn's new Warm Z, MIUI, and Koni's Elite II. Those have no trouble restoring. Seems the problem is confined to the nightlies, as I'd installed RC1 before without issues.
Anybody have an idea what's wrong?

When re-flashing the roms, try a clean install, and also flashing the latest gapps. Not flashing them has been seen lately to cause a few apps not restoring, or some just missing completely. Best to do it in 2 recovery sessions, backup, flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, reboot.

I always do a fresh install. Wipe data, cache and Dalvik, plus flash Calkulin's Format All.
I haven't tried flashing ROM and gapps in different sessions, as that brought trouble pre-rc1, I'll try that now, though.

Well I practice the 2 recovery session as a standard, sometimes it works in 1 session, but when it doesn't the 2 session step bring me no problems; but let me know what happens.

turns out, that wasn't the problem. Two-session flashing didn't bring any issues, which I was glad to see (although it did switch the wallpaper, that's just weird). What did help was this post from the rc1 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11722822&postcount=1603, where this exact problem is described, but I happened to miss it while searching somehow. anyways, it finally restored the apps, but not their data. I guess that's better than nothing, but again, just plain annoying.

Ah I see. Well now backup the apps and data and you should be set now.

[Q] Market Question

Spent the last few hours flashing various ROMs on my girlfriend's Incredible. Tried 3 AOSP GB ROMs and a couple Sense Froyo ROMs. No matter which I try, Market will not open. It lets me go through the setup process and sign in, but after I do it closes and will not reopen. It just flashes real quick (at the part where you have to accept terms) and closes again. Tried 3 different GAPPS links for the AOSP stuff, and the Sense stuff does it too. Any ideas?

Make sure you format /system, wipe all data and cache

CM10.1.3 crashed and softbrick

I have been running CM 10.1.3 for quite a while, and 10.1.2 for a while before that, and out of nowhere last night I was on the browser and it closed, and wouldn't open again. Then every other app I tried wouldn't open, just forced closed right away. Next thing I know, trebuchet starts force closing over and over. So I reboot my phone, and no bootscreen. I used TWRP to recover back to stock and it works fine. But everytime I try to re-install CM it just bootloops. I didn't change anything on my phone for it to crash, i haven't even changed any apps for a few weeks. Anyone know why it would do this?

Do you have TWRP version 2.6.3 by any chance? Most of the bootloop bugs have been attributed to that specific version.
If you do have 2.6.3, downgrade to, I believe, 2.6.1. Otherwise, did you forget to do a cache, dalvik cache, data, and system partition wipe before upgrading your ROM?

Actually, I am running 2.4.4. Whats still odd about it though is that it ran fine for at least a month and had been on all day. The problem didn't start with a reboot, I had been on it for a while and everything forced closed on me. I am about to try to update TWRP to 2.6.1 and try that. I haven't tried any other roms yet either, I would really like to stay on CM though if I can get it to flash back.

[Q] Can't install most AOSP ROMS

Greetings,
Starting with the first release of the combined PAC/PA/AOKP rom I have been unable to install most AOSP roms for the T-mobile Note II. Currently I was able to get AOKP 4.3.1 installed but no Paranoid, Illusion, or PAC/PA/AOKP hybrid will run. They install fine but I get all FC's once it boots. I have updated recovery, tried multiple wiping including sys, cleared cache and dalvik just before first boot and after flash, tried fixing permissions which always fails, and I tried flashing without GAPPS as well... still no dice. Any ideas? On a side note, do any of you have a good S-pen app setup while running AOSP roms. I dloaded a handful of apps but nothing feels cohesive.
Thank you
EDIT: This issue just went away on it's own. For some reason I can install whatever now and I changed nothing.... crazy.

bootloop or something like it after updating CM

First, for shortening and simplicity let's use cm versions only last numbers (cm-12.1-20151230-NIGHTLY-nicki will be 30 etc.).
I will arrange my short story in points for better understanding, let's begin here:
- I installed CM 23 (it's 12.1 but the number is for nightly like shown higher) and updated to 26, everything was fine
- quick install of Open Gapps, my apps and doing settings stuff, everything fine
- wild update to 30 appeared, i updated it and it was not very effective
- device rebooted, flashed update automatically, optimized apps aaaaand it got stuck on finishing boot. it was fully ok and responding cause a sound played when i plugged it to charging, it was showing touches ( i set it to show em before update), but it was stuck. So i took battery out and it started to boot, after couple of seconds screen brightness turned down as in every normal booting, boot animation slowed and lagged a few times but then continued to bootloop. Here is a list of things i tried:
- rebooting of course
- clearing cache and dalvik in twrp, then it just optimized apps again and got stuck on starting apps
- wiping data, still bootloop
- wiping everything and installing fresh CM 30
Only the last worked but i lost everything i installed etc. I made a backup of data partition but it restored only some apps ( not even gapps) and settings for some reason.
so after installing everything again i lived it for a while, but because it is a nightly a new update was posted! CM 104
- i downloaded it in cm updater as every other update (btw flashing cm 26 and then 30 from .zip gave the same result), installed it, and it worked soo...
- two days later another update appeared(cm 106), i check every update changelog and this one was big.
- happy of last successful update i just updated it but this time it didn't worked so well
everything is the same as updating 26 to 30, and here we are it got stuck on finishing boot, i took battery out, bootloop, clearing cache and dalvik, optimizing apps, got stuck on starting apps, system fully responding to the same things. i turned the phone down and started this thread.
I have a full backup of everything on another sd with cm 30 and installed apps, but because system is responding i think you guys can help me. i don't want to do a clean install every time a not working update appears. I could stay on last working version, but i'm a type of a person who wants everything updated even if won't give me anything new so staying on last working version from backup is only accepted if you guys won't have any solution or at least idea.
Big thanks for everyone that will bring anything here and probably save some time another happy cm user
EDIT: also, i can restore that backup i have and install version 104, and then figure out how to install it properly

my own idea
so, now i have restored my backup and when i have some free time i'll try to install fresh cm without gapps and update it a few versions, if it'll work problem solved. i will have to just clear cache and dalvik after every update and flash gapps. I only want to ask, if it will work, will flashing gapps with the old ones installed make any issues?

Try to re install rom after full wipe

i specially wrote this thread with extra simplicity, but you didn't read that it's working after full wipe, i'm trying to install update AND save my data. read before you post and try to get some easy thank points or whatever this forum has somewhere else.

FIXED IT!!
So for everyone who's looking for answer to this problem here's the fix: after cm flashes and turns off, hold VOL+ button to go to recovery instantly then wipe cache and dalvik, flash gapps, again wipe cache and dalvik reboot. For me it worked.
