Will Apps restore if reset?

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.

One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.
Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.
This should reset the application back.

how to install cwm???srry im a noob..i need everything in detail..plss

Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.0.2.6

cwm installed.dalvik cache wiped...how to set permission ON for Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner??

many force closes r occuring google services framework and android.process.acore

Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.
You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.

i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU

By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.
But if that did not work, then go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.

ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260590

Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!
Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.

ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...

In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.

after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??

Did you wipe the apps log in flashtool when you re-installed ICS?
Do the place holders show up in the /system/apps folder? If yes delete them.
What did you wipe when you installed?
A fresh install is to check all in the wipe box from flashtool. For a fresh restore of a backup or a ROM.ZIP file in CWM I always MOUNT system & data (and cache if not already). Then format all 3 system, data & cache. Then do the restore/install. Some say it is not needed but for me it takes 2 minutes to do and gives you a clean base.
I also use the Sony back-up and restore app, to back-up ALL DATA TYPES (or just the apps you want )
PLEASE post questions in the question and answer section called the Q&A
Thanks

titanium backup insufficient storage error help

the solutions posted seem outdated or didn't work. backing up files worked great until today. I have over 10gb free space. tried also clearing and reinstalling. any help would be appreciated. I'm on paranoid android an this just started when I tried to backup additional apps today

I wonder if TiBU isn't updated to 4.3 or not fully compatible.

it worked great until today so that isn't it. i had installed 3 apps today wanted to update my backup as i usually do here and there and am getting that error. it had been great until that point. nothing that would change to cause the error as best as i can tell

For me it hasn't worked since day 1 of my nexus 7 it works on my galaxy nexus 4.2.2 so im guessing its a 4.3 issue.

you can also use Helium i would actually recommend it over TiBU.

Helium seems to work great. thanks for the tip

You just have to go into TiBu preferences and back up a few places on where you store your backups. Worked for me this morning. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

helium seems to get stuck about 3/4 of the way through. no luck at all with these backup programs

Here is how I fixed it go into TB preferences > Backup Folder Location
1. Next hit Back button till you are in the root folder of your device "/" ( this at the top)
2. Next click sdcard
3. Then click on the "Titanium Backup" folder. Top should say "/sdcard/ Titanium Backup"
4 . Then click use this folder

I have had the problem before as well. I suspect it is related to an old restore, but not sure. This always fixes it for me:
1. Unistall the app
2. Using Root Explorer go to System/Data/app-lib
3. Find and delete all references to the app you deleted
4. Open the Play store and re-install.
This can be done without uninstalling. When you navigate to app-lib you'll find multiple versions of the app mentioned. You keep only one (delete any duplicates), then go to System/ Data /Dalvik-cache and delete the same duplicates (if you kept -2 in app-lib, keep -2 in Dalvik). Wiping dalvik in recovery won't work. It regenerates at re-boot with the dups at least it did for me).
I have had success with both methods, but find the 1st method always works & the 2nd method does not, as it is easy to miss a copy in dalvik. The Dalvik versions are deleted for you with the uninstall so I find it simpler.
I spent weeks looking for this solution a while back for my GNex so I hope I've saved you a headache or two.

This is basically how I fixed the problem on my N4 and N10 as well. Basically, you're backing up to the same location, it's just that TiBu doesn't like the old file path (for me, it was: /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup) and wants you to use a different one (for me, it is: /storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup).

This was the ticket for me. After deleting cache and data, looking for odex files, reinstalling from play store. I had tried changing path to start but I still chose emulated to a different location so it still didnt work lol.
Wish I had seen this thread 1st, thank-you for posting, backups working again I can get on with life.

+1 to this solution. I had the same problem using TiBu when I tried to backup my apps to prep for a switch from CM10.2 to Paranoid Android.
Thank goodness for TiBu's update.zip feature, makes jumping between ROMs much less of a pain.

So glad I found this thread, it works! Thank you

I have had the same problem since moving from CM 10.1 to CM 10.2. Seems my super su also wants to update binaries after every nightly flash. Can't update binaries normal way so I flash them in TWRP. After the supersu flash, my titanium backup works perfectly.

I've tried everything except re flashing the phone. Nothing at all works, and I'm at the end of my rope. EDIT: Here's the only thing that fixed it! Downloaded SuperSU, allowed it to boot into recovery to update the binary, and now TIBU works fine! That was the ONLY solution that worked.

could be lots of things
have you used an app like titanuim to load back up data to apps?
have you installed a new app recently or use one you haven't used for a long time? There was a problem a few months ago with one of the sdk devs use to build their apps that caused apps to crash. You have to uninstall app, then wait for dev to build it on new sdk.
If It's not that then maybe corrupt app data, you need to identify the app & try wipe it's data, not just cache
