Running DJ-steve's 1.6.1 rom and I am finding it to be pretty smooth. Just don't attempt to restore apps or system data with titanium backup...I just restored apps and all the apps force close until you uninstall and reinstall.
My question is this.... When I go into the navigation (Blue triangle) app it tells me searching for GPS signal or searching for positioning ability or something like that and it just sits there searching... the GPS symbol comes on in the status bar from time to time and that is it... Anyone else having an issue regarding capturing a GPS lock in navigation? (before you ask, I did not restore the navigation app using titanium or any other program... im using the one that came with DJ_steve's 1.6.1 rom) Thanks.
**UPDATE** A full wipe and re-install did the strick

My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.
Hey guys, need Some help here. I upgraded from Bamf 2.1 to Bamf 3.0 sense, and after restoring with Titanium I'm having two issues:
1, every time I restart, the phone forgets my Google account information and I have to log in
/sync again
2, the weather lockscreen now shows "no weather update available "
After several hours of searching, I found some info suggesting that it may be due to titanium restoring to the sd card. I reflashed, let Google sync, and then only restored all the green options and select althird party apps. The second time, I had changed default restore to preserve original file structure. Still no dice. I then restored "accounts" directly to internal storage. Still no dice.
This is getting very frustrating, I would love any guidance.

i would only re install backups for third party apps. even though your reinstalling system data with useful information, its all based from the sense 2.1 interface, and restoring it in sense 3.0 can lead to the kind of incompatibility issues your having.
That makes sense (no pun intended). Thanks for the reply
I had a lot of problems using Ti Backup when trying to switch over to a GB based ROM, and I later determined the backups were causing most if not all of them.
I would be very selective on what you backup and restore new again if your are switching between Fr and GB
This was GB to GB

Do you have your background data turned off? I had the same problem with my lock screen showing the weather update. It should show if you tap on the weather and manually update from the sense clock on a home screen. but if your background data is turned off it will only update every hour (thats the lowest amount of time it will allow you to update itself if data is turned off). I now just run the clock on my lock screen.
No Background data was on. Pretty sure it was from restoring data through titanium. Reflashed and only restored third party, issue went away

I am on Faux's latest kernet for AT&T & Ninja SF.
Everything seemingly works ok in maps (GPS however seems to not be able to lock) until I click on navigation where I then get "Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly".
Tried uninstalling maps through TiBu, have also fixed permissions in Rom Manager without results. Any clue?
Bumping this up, need the damn navigation in a couple of days .. :-(

Did you ever get a fix for this?
Having the same issue...
have you guys tried the 'default' fix
i.e. tibu/nandroid backup as a precaution, then do full wipe and re-flash of your ROM, restore only missing apps off tibu (i.e. so you're left with out of the box maps and navigation). And by full wipe I mean moto-fastboot -w, not just the cache/dalvik cache.
You can also try and see if your GPS actually functions at all by using apps like gps status. Could narrow it down to GPS specific issue or google maps app wigging out
Anyone else run into this? I've noticed with both the XDA app and NBA Jam, if I have run them recently and go to reboot, the apps disappear once I'm up and running again. Shortcuts still exist but trying to launch the program I get a message that the app isn't installed. Re-downloading and installing fixes it, no user data is lost.
When rebooting I get a dialog like the attached image shows. Stock, not rooted, running Apex launcher. Never ran into this with my OG EVO. Any suggestions?
No Suggestions. Same problem. I'm rooted and have TB backups of everything so I just search "uninstalled" and restore but it's a real pain.
Hi,
I had a weird problem with an app (The Times and The Sunday Times) on my Xperia Z2 Tablet yesterday. Although I managed to fix it eventually, I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on what happened.
The tablet had been repaired under warranty. Before I sent it off, I did a full Titanium backup, unrooted, and reset to factory defaults. As part of the repair, Sony updated the firmware from 17.1.1.A.0.402 to 17.1.2.A.0.314 (17.1.2.A.0.314 was released whilst it was out for repair). Both firmwares are based on Android 4.4.2.
I reinstalled all my user apps (not system apps) by restoring a Titanium backup, after which the The Times and The Sunday Times app was working. I used it several times, then yesterday it froze when loading. Killing the app from the recents and opening it again didn't work; this time it wouldn't load (the icon on the Nova Launcher desktop glowed for a few seconds, then nothing happened).
I then tried the following, killing the app from the recents menu before each attempt:
Clearing the app's cache.
Clearing the app's data.
Uninstalling the app and reinstalling.
Uninstalling the app, searching the entire device for the app name using solid explorer (rooted), removing any left over files, and reinstalling the app.
Uninstalling the app, running SD maid, and reinstalling the app.
Rebooting the device.
Still no luck. each time, the app icon would glow when i tapped it, the app would appear in my recent apps list as a black rectangle, but no matter how long I left it (several hours at one point), it just wouldn't load.
In desperation, I restored the app's Titanium backup with data, and it (sort of) worked. The app loaded, and allowed me to log in again (as if I'd just done a fresh install, or restored the app without data).
The weird thing is that the app has not been updated since I made the backup, so the backup version is the same as the version on the Play Store.
Does anyone know why restoring the Titanium backup would work where the troubleshooting steps I took above didn't? Is it possible that the app's data got given some weird permissions at some point that only Titanium, running as root, could sort out?
Thank you in advance!
Looking at the logcat might offer some insights into why it was not launching.
An educated guess would be that TiBu restored/overwrote a file that the other apps/system did not find and wipe and the app itself corrupts a file when launching and only restoring a working one from your backup fixed it.
If you find out what file that is, SD Maid could be updated to cover that and if it's reproduceable, you could also write the dev of the app instruction how to reproduce the issue so he can fix it.
Of course there is always the option that the server/connection was bad and it hang because of that.
