Restoring backup gone wrong! Help needed. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Big EDIT:
I've found out that Android fails to optimize all the apps after system restore and opdated only like 200/261 so I suspect that nonstop crashing of apps and no back home and multitashing buttons is connected with this, any ideas how to fix it?

Your big edit just edited out your issue. Also, you just found out from where? Not all sources are reputable.
Anyway, you should have just posted again instead of editing out what the problem and symptoms/errors you are getting are.

Titanium Backup keeps crashing, am i alone?

Woke up today just to see that Titanium Backup had crashed during the scheduled backup tonight. Since then i haven't been able to do anything with it!
Sometimes it crashes right off the start, sometimes i can start a backup and have it crash about ~12-14% in. I tried going in to the settings and checking the "AUTO, indirect" setting that they recommend if you're having problems, but that didn't help either. (And it took me 3 tries to get in to the settings without it crashing!)
I've tried wiping all the app data, re-installing it, installing an older version (that they suggest on their website if having issues). I also tried re-setting the super user permissions for it. None of which helps!
I haven't found any information on it yet, so i assume i'm alone with this? Have anyone else been having the same issue?
Just emailed the support, but i imagine it will take at least a week for them to reply (if they do).
So, any suggestions?
EDIT: I just timed it and it appears to crash after approx 30 seconds, no matter what i do in the application. I Hope the developers sees this.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears to be working again after updating to v4.9.0.1.
I don't do scheduled backups but the app hasn't failed me yet doing it manually.
well id suggest connecting to your pc and backup the titaniumbackup folder (that way you know all your backups are safe)
then making a nandroid backup
then flashing another ROM or just wiping and reflashing the same ROM you're using

The backups i have stored are outdated now, i've changed a lot since the last update. The plan all along was to do a titanium backup, sync it to dropbox, flash this rom, and then restore all my apps etc. So i'm really kind of out of options now, unless i download everything manually and set everything up again. Doesn't sound very fun tbh. I might just try to find an alternative to titanium, but i'd really like to get it working again. Nothing seems to help.
You are not alone!
Hi, just to say you are not alone. Your case 99% similar to mine.
Just encountered this freeze after the app update on 18/19 Mar and the app will freeze even when I do nothing in the app. And yes, what a coincidence, the app when backup under schedule has stopped (with screen save off) at 14% completion.
Tried the method of deleting the app data and reinstall the app and even worse, now the app stops right when launching after a moment of black screen.
Already filed email and log file to support hopefully there will be an answer...
Hi, I'm also having exactly the same problem with TBU. Am on the pro version.
This has been a problem for about a week now. Not sure if it doesn't play nicely with CM9 or the kernel i'm running. What are you guys running? I may re-flash stock ICS and see if it still gives me problems. Quick question, does reflashing stock ICS remove root? I read somewhere it does and just want to get some different opinons.
Am running a CM9 nightly with Franco Kernal on GMS Galaxy Nexus.

I am also on pro version. Mine is at stock 4.0.2.
And yes, if you re-flash stock you lose root and have to re-root.
I am very very suspecting the crash is something related to the license checking of pro-key so that will explain why the program will crash in 20-30 sec without any special action doing or launching in the app. Just my guess... Hope the support will answer back shortly...
Thanks for the help, have uninstalled for now, will you post if the dev gets back to you?
Interesting that it's happening across a range of different setups.

Oh my god! It works!!!!! I love you @andQlimax!
To all: Yes, the problem solved after I clear the cache and data of the play store. Beware that I also cleared out data of titanium backup before that when tackling the problem, but you may not need to...
IT WORKS!!!!!!!
Thanks, been without backups since play came. I had tried to clear Google Play Store cache but not data and that fixed it.

Thank you very much, guys!
After a few days of desperate waiting for an update of TB, you made my day. Clearing caches and data of Titanium and Google Play solved the problem.
I would've never solved this big distress without you guys, you r my saaaaaaaviors, my superheroes

Cannot save screenshot, try again

has anyone else run into this? i've found threads from various other phones on this, but none of the fixes ive tried have worked - delete /sdcard/pictures folder, clear data for quickmemo+, nada
as soon as i take a screenshot, the notification "saving screnshot" is stuck in my panel and cannot be swiped away. the screenshot actually saves, but a toast message comes up saying "Cannot save screenshot, try again".
SOLVED: DO NOT DISABLE CLIPTRAY
I'm having the same problem.
I've gone and unfroze everything and that didn't work so I factory reset this thing and still no luck.
edit: Extreme you rooted? I am rooted but I originally could take screenshots.

true that. ill give it a whirl tonight
I have this issue too. It's definately a systemui issue as Force closing System UI clears the notification.
It started happening to me after root, so guessing it's something to do with the system ui in that image.

Ah didn't notice which variant you were on. Though it's still an issue with system UI somewhere though. Tried everything can find, centering folders, unfreezing apps, etc.
well, reroot/flashing the rooted systemimg did work. ive gone back and disabled all bloat again, and screenshotting still works. no idea what changed
edit: andddd i broke it again. it was working fine, did a whole bunch of restarts after blocking a few apps taking screenshots along the way. eventually screenshotting broke again. unfroze a few apps that i froze in Titanium and screenshotting is still broken. i am so confused

did you disable cliptray? i did a similarish test but i used solid explorer to remove the permissions from cliptray and my screenshot ability died!

holy ****, good call. i did disable cliptray. i guess screenshot on this stupid ROM writes the screenshot directly to the cliptray, so when its disabled, it cant write it to the cliptray, and thus the persistent saving notification..
There is a nice app which should be used with option B, this preserves screenshot funtionallity.

Very unusual "system data" storage behaviour!

I have a completely stock phone & I was using nova launcher from day one but I turned back to the default launcher today and noticed a strange data in the 'shelf'. It was showing that I have low %age of storage left. At first I thought it must be a bug but then after some time I checked the storage in settings and thereafter confirmed this using the app "DiskUsage".
Could anyone help me out here? Kindly have a look at the screenshot I'm attaching.
In short, System data is using 27.3 GB of storage!!!
I suspect it may be due to the flash that I did some time back when I returned to complete stock from a rooted OnePlus 3. Though I followed the official website instructions.
Thanks guys for reading this message & I know someone out there will know about this as I'm not that lucky to encounter a completely unique bug :good:

Latest build should fix this.. If not do a clean install and stay on the latest build. Also if the issue persists try to move to EXT4. F2fs still has loads of weird issues..

Well, I got my latest .5 update yesterday and sadly it didn't solve it so I guess I have to format my phone again. Man, that's really a pain in the A. By the way, is this a common occurrence in OnePlus 3 software?
As far as ext and f2fs is concerned, I don't remember manually formatting my phone to f2fs so I guess it was nougat update which did this!
Thanks man!

Don't know... I haven't seen this issue yet..
hmm, I'll wait till the O update for a clean install as setting up few particular apps (mostly banking & two-factor authentication) is really a boring/huge task for me, plus few apps have just NO backup solution like the now-defunct but awesome keyboard Fleksy, Adguard user filters. I really think Android needs a good global backup function to sync basic things like android settings, SMS, Call logs.
Meanwhile, if anyone know a solution which doesn't include formatting the phone, please do tell me !

I dont really have a clue about titanium backup. Used it once way back when I had Galaxy Note 1.
I remember, it's UI was very complex and had a big learning curve but despite all this, isn't titanium backup a root only app?

Oh right. It is a root only app... Try using rom settings backup from play store, coupled with sms backup and restore.. Does most of the job

Sorry to break it to you but even Rom Settings Backup is root only
but thank you for telling me about this app, may come in handy if I go back to root.
and yes, I did know about the SMS and call log backup, I'm more concerned about the few specific apps like Fleksy keyboard app.
Thank you for your reply.

Bug restoring itself

Hello,
So some weeks ago I tried messing up with Substratum and theming my phone. I installed some themes that where supposed to support oxygen os. One of them did not work that great giving me this white bar quick settings. Tried relocking the phone wiping everything or wiping only themes with substratum's ways and at first everything was back to normal. Apparently after restoring backup with google after relocking the phone gets the problem back even though I was unrooted. So I tried setting it as new and the problem was not there at first again. Though i got back after a day even though I did not choose to restore anything fron the back up. My next move will be to delete all my back ups and then restore it and set it up as new. Any others ways to probably fix this problem? Seems to me like an error in system or data partitions caused by substratum and restoring itself somehow. **i have deleted substratum and the themes from my purchases in playstore and tried installing all the latest versions of oxygen os that came the past month.
Thanks
I think you can live with that, it's such a small visual bug.
It's not a bug, and it happens only on black/dark wallpapers. Try something white and it should be gone

Got an OTA update today...

And it really messed things up. Device not seeing other launchers, and the native launcher is 'stuck' - any modifications I make (icons/screens/widgets/positioning etc) resets after every reboot.
Cleared cache, but no luck.
Help.
And notifications don't show on the top (only when I pull down, and not all)

I made an account just to post here cause I'm having the exact same issues. I've had so many issues and I thought things would be better, but this update completely ruined our phones. Not only is the phone even more dysfunctional now, it's uglier too. The cosmetic updates are gross, the new emojis are gross, AND they added software that's unremovable.

If you guys read my mega thread you will see there is a fix for the launcher customizing resetting there in tge fidst post under the change log.
But i also have a list of bugs i will forward to Nubia once the community have found them all.
For alternate launchers, be sure to set it in the App Info settings > 3-dot menu > default apps > Desktop.

Try doing an in place update of the full rom zip, then clear cache and data of launcher.
During beta test clearing data fixed it for all testers. So its possible the OTA had an additional bug for you
Can confirm on the update the method you described doesn't work (on mine the alternate launchers don't show up in the defaults list for desktop).
@Nyanwiz - I ended up flashing the latest Q stock rom, but would be willing to try your suggestion. Can I just flash the full zip of new R build over it without losing data? And if it doesn't work, can I flash the 10 back?
Or do I need to do through the front end system updates UI?

By any chance do you remember which rom those testers used for their testing? The fix hasn't worked for me, and I was running the US rom
Hi, I also had the same issue where any app icon when dragged onto a home screen would disappear. Tried to force stop the native launcher and restart the device. It worked after a few goes and my old home screens were restored and i am able to add apps onto my home screen. Haven't tried any custom launcher like nova yet. I'm guessing its a bug I was about to submit a ticket before it "fixed itself".
