Since I first got my vibrant in november, ive been flashing custom roms all the time, Normally preferring the team whiskey ones. I was on 1.21 for longest till last week when i decided to try trigger. mms history and everything restored fine, wifi hotspot settings, sound settings, etc. All good.
i tried BiWinning, and none of that would come back if I restored. Ok, maybe it just treats it differently, oh well.
I had too many issues with biwinning so I went to try bionix 1.32 and this is doing the same thing. I restore wifi spots, none coming up. MMS history still blank.
Sound settings, all default. Also noticed it wasnt even changing my wallpaper which it usually did..
any ideas?
I've always read not to restore system apps/settings after flashing a new rom cuz it can screw stuff up. I always just use titanium to restore my market apps.
What issues were you having with Bi-winning? I've been on it two weeks and have had none.
As stated you should only use TB to restore apps and NOT system data as some ROMS and firmwares may not play nicely. Likely what you are experiencing. Things like sms/mms can be restored using third party apps and such. All other settings sound, wifi, and wallpaper will have to be restored manually. Unless a simple search can result in a similar resolution. Good luck!
What I had read was not to restore actual appear but data ok. Like titanium says it'll do the system settings, wiring, bluetooth pairings and web favorites. And it has fine over axura, liking and numerous bionix. I did trigger last week, again alls fine. I go to try biwinning, none of my stuff popped up.
Probably I had were contacts randomly disappearing, and leaving only sim card contacts. Random in ability to go to landscape, not a setting, I checked. Then just decided to wipe all the mms I did in 2 days. All that doesn't bode well.
I tried bionix 1.32 and I had the same contacts error but mms couldn't start issue as well, probably from the restore. So rights now im on a clean trigger 301 , no restoring besides market apps.

You should not restore system apps, they are the cause of most issues.
If you go from 2.2 > 2.2.1 things are different. 2.2 > 2.2 and green system apps would likely be okay and work.
Best practice, like others said, don't do it.
LMAO, seriously dude just don't do the settings. I understand your situation tho.
Example: I LOVE having unprotected sex! but i know one of these skeezys' ain't gonna be tellin the WHOLE truth and next thing i know BOOM! WTF is this rash!!!LOL
- Do it just to be safe(both wrappin it up and not restoring settings in TB)
I admit my example might not be a great one, but I think it displays the point just fine. Restoring everything with TB data, apps, settings..... should be fine if ur married to whatever ROM/kernel setup ur using or in ur case coincidentally flashing ROMs of similar firmware. Axura, Bionix, Trigger they are all 2.2 firmware i believe. But then you throw in Bi-winning a 2.2.1 ROM and uh oh!
Nod, thanks. I got me.a prescription of penicillin and learned my lesson. Didn't think about the 2.2 to 2.2.1 since I hadn't changed in a bit. So on that note, worth giving biwinning another shot or stick to trigger?

I edited the Evolution_Font install zip so that it doesn't remove the odex files. I just installed this using Clockwork and it's working fine for me. I recommend making a nandroid before doing this though just in case and as always if you brick your phone don't blame me.
The original font pack came from the Evolution theme, I don't take any credit for this and if whoever did create it wants it taken down I have no problem doing so.

edit: Added the Default font if you want to switch back.
I flashed it but now for some reason I cant load my downloads in the market, prob unrelated but other than that fonts work just fine.
Ok after a reboot it works just fine now, wonder what that was?
The font is a lot smaller than the stock, but I like it. Like it gives it a cleaner look or something.
after running quadrant with that loaded, I am convinced it did something else, the screen just looks more crisp.

itd entirely possible there is some sort of server maintenance or something... when i installed app brain a month ago there just happened to be server issues that night.. i assumed it was the new software.. logical right?
im running some backup/restore tests now... takes a while...
I couldn't get anything to authorize or download from market... used nandroid backup and worked fine after...

not completely related, but i figured since the OP knows of the themes the fonts originate from, would i be able to just install the Launcher pro that is themes in the bugless evolution rom? i basically want the widgets...
edit: so i decided to just make a nandroid and then see what happens.
worked just fine! the widgets and the font go nicely together!
Thanks now if we could get a flipfont apk port that would be great.
Love the font, but I too am getting a market error. Trying to install other apps and it FC's and then the apps are stuck "installing" can't cancel them out.
Flipped to wifi, same issue. Gonna shut it down, pop the battery and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: Yup, market still continues to crash even after a couple reboots and a battery pull. Why would this cause the install/market to crash?
which market apk are you using? the original one or the 2.2 version?
mine is working fine (i use the 2.2 market)
Using the updated version. As far as I recall.

no, i'm running it on the stock rom with root and voodoo
My setup Voodoo/oc'd kernel/aosp boot animations/deodexed Market 2.2 and have NO issues with this font whatsoever.
You did flash it through CWM correct?
I uninstalled the market update, went back in and downloaded the apps that were hung on install (as they were still showing "installing..." on the market page, even after a CWM restore) and it worked.
I can live without the new market until 2.2
Hey All,
I would like to ask anyone who knows how I can properly use Titanium Backup I would really appreciate it. The problem i've had before is that when ever I backup I never seem to know how to properly back up my apps so I can also back up the data like my saved games on angry birds, and my tags on sound hound. If I back up and thn restore I always mess something up and my roms end up all screwed. please some one guide me!!!!
I usually only backup user apps. Press the options button on the bottom left of the vibrant. Then choose batch, then choose backup all user apps.

Like I said though, doing that only backs up the apps but it doesn't back up the data i.e. shazam tags, etc.

im interested in this too.
the pain of setting everything up again is actually the only thing keeping me from flashing a new rom. (flashed my mytouch so much that i only kept a few apps)
and can the free version do everything the paid version can do?

thanks alot. I'll look at it now. I hate flashing ROMS sometimes because I don't get my app data. It sucks having to start Angry Birds from leverl 1 every time I flash something!
I use mybackup pro n backup apps. ..gives option to backup apk + data. Has worked well for me. Don't have re -download apps or anything.
I know this doesn't necessarily answer the question but it gives a way to backup apps+data(bookmarks,texts,call log, settings, etc)

No matter what rom (with wipe of data, cache, and Dalvik), known-good Nandroid backup I restore, or anything else I can think of, I cannot get the Market to work. This is driving me bonkers! I've tried CM7, das Bamf 1.6 and 1.6.1, I've tried old Virus backups, and have even flashed Bolted, Lightning rom, and a couple others. I simply cannot get apps to download, and all environments give me 503s in my logs. So this sounds like it's down but I searched and expected to see posts all over about it. So I'm stumped.

Had the same issue, no replys tho. I ended up calling Verizon and after the tech guy "held my hand" thru his "testing", he just put me in for a replacement. I did notice that market seems to be working a bit now. It wasn't working after I uprooted bone stock, but today it seems to be kinda working.

So after sleeping, it's still broken for me. I did additional testing and either the market is very broken or my market account is screwed up. I tried on my 2 other devices (a Nook Color and a G1, both on wifi) and neither of them with either.
I did some heavy flashing of various roms yesterday, so could they have disabled my account, or something, thinking it was hacked?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Okay, so no matter what I do, I can't initiate a download from my phone. I can, however, initiate a download from the web version of the Market, and this works with at least my TBolt and Nook (didn't bother trying on my G1 - assumed it either worked or I didn't care).
However, this is incredibly aggravating not being able to use my phone to install software via the Market applications!
I've discovered the problem (kinda) and can offer a fix. The problem was that network settings (grouped with things like wifi passwords) get backed up and restored automatically by Google, and mine were somehow corrupted. The fix was to go into Settings -> Privacy and uncheck the backup/restore checkboxes. If you do this right, it will prompt you to confirm and will say that it will erase the settings on Google's servers.
After this, you may need to wipe one more time.

hopefully somebody can shed some light on something for me. I had just started fresh, sd card and all. I flashed PWGB v2.0b3 with pit. I was in the process of reinstalling my apps all fresh from market, sdcard was wiped so no titanium restores. I noticed the alert sound like i had received a email and noticed a file was downloading itself with the name of qqsecure2.2.0(something something) with alot of chinese characters. The icon beside the file being downloaded looked similar to a sun if i remember right. I have a list of the apps i was restoring but have no idea how far down the list i was at. Again all apps were from the market. I know some malware apps exist but i was under the impression you had to go out of your way to catch one. If i were a betting man i would say that this was innocent and normal but it kinda freaked me out as the phone is rooted and i do banking on it occasionally.
Simple searches didn't yield any results for me on xda and nothing in english on google. Anyone have any idea if this was known and good or is my immediate shutting down and reflashing warrented?
Though it does sound weird. To be safe, try to re-flash it or just go to MIUI. I know and have talked to a English dev from that team. And they have a background service that prevents anything from accessing the data partition

id love to go with miui or cm but im afraid that i need absolute stablilty and fear such roms cant offer it at this time. by no means am i knocking those roms but i cant have any surprises at all so i shy away from those roms. the whole reason i was starting back fresh was occasional hipups with the TKSGB kern on my particular device.
After having it happen again I happened to be paying more attention and noticed that a app was to blame. Greek mythology is the offender. I installed lookout before redownloading and for what its worth it let the app pass right through. I'm pretty certain thats the app responsible and its still on the market. Just surprised because I hadn't heard of any trojans on the us market.

hey, to make a long story short since i'm sure you don't wanna have to read a whole page,
this my first Android phone coming from iPhone. I had originally gotten the skyrocket, but after getting throttled the second day and wanting to be able to customize and reading the i777 is the superior device, I decided to swap back to the i777 yesterday.
I had the skyrocket rooted and used titanium backup to backup my apps and system data. so I rooted this phone and tried to restore ask the apps and system data. everything at first looked like a perfect switch, but now I found problems. so far from what I've found, when I try to change ringtones using Android system the phone freezes and then it said that it had to force close.
the purge problem is the alarms, when I try to edit one or create a new one, it freezes again and force closes.
does anyone know a way to make it work while keeping all my apps and not having to start from scratch again? I'd be fine with having to redo all the settings and options if I have to
thanks for any help

TiBu has an option for only "missing apps and data" when restoring - this is the only safe option (in rare cases even it fails, but it's rare).
There's also an experimental "system data migration" option in TiBu that's off by default - I've never used it, and be warned that it may not work at all when trying to change to a completely different device.
ok, so you're saying
instead of doing the "restore apps plus system data", do the "restore missing apps with data"?

This is exactly the kind of attitude that causes newbies to get flamed. This is NOT the Help Desk. No one is paid to help you in here. We expect you to FIND help for yourself by reading and when no help can be found, THEN post. Laziness is not to be rewarded. Anyone familiar with TiBU knows that you should almost never restore system data with it because it will cause problems except in specific situations. Had you done a little searching and reading you would have likely come across this info as it is well documented in here. Be thankful Entropy took pity on you and gave you the right answer despite your laziness.

My attitude is fine. TiBU is one of THE most used apps on Android phones and by users in here and if you're saying you searched and did not find an answer about this then I say you're full of it. Like I said, be thankful Entropy helped you out because more often than not he feels the same way about this kind of thing.

If you're on a stock ROM I believe superuser will be wiped. So, you'll have to re-root. If you're on a custom ROM and do a factory reset, root should remain intact.
All he has to do is really wipe and install the rom he was using. Just do as they said with titanium backup and you'll be fine.
