So, I had liquid gingerbread 3.2 running on my bolt for the last few months. After I started having issues with almost every app in the market saying "your device isn't compatible with this", I decided to go back to stock, and re flash lgb.
Problems!:
1) on boot, lgb can't connect to any network. Tried flashing a PG05IMG from clockwork recovery, said installation aborted. Link to proper radio?
2) in liquid gingerbread, home key does nothing, and app drawer frequently closes without my input.
3) regarding titanium backup pro, when I backup "all system data and user data," why don't my text messages and new contacts get restored? The most recent messages I'm getting back are from when I backed up my system before first installing lgb. Why? When I try to do all this through My Backup Pro, some messages are restored, but handcent doesn't match numbers with contacts, so it appears that in texts,I have no recognized contacts when in fact they are present in "people" or "contacts."
what's going on? How can I get liquid working again, WITH my contacts, WITH my current texts, and WITH data/network connections?
Anyone else have any of these problems? Wiped cache/Dalvik cache prior to installation, and also did factory erase both through clockwork mod recovery as well as the built in android technique.
Possibly because i selected to recover all system apps and data in titanium backup, but I think nearly all these issues occurred before I restored any of that.
I don't have any problem but I'm on thunderstick...

Well, this latest install worked ok. Just took me a number of tries. My guess is that I was restoring some system app or another somehow.
I haven't tried thunderstick. Can you put up some screenshots? I haven't found any other rom I really like. I don't care for sense, which it seems most are based on. I love the style of liquid. Love the battery bar on top, love the widget shortcuts in the dropdown menu, love the power conservation, love the customization....

I have looked around and still haven't found a concrete answer to this.
What is the best way to backup and restore with Titanium Backup?
Usually, before i flash new ROMs, I will delete all backups, and then rebackup everything.
Then when I actually flash to a new one, I will restore "all missing apps + data"
Is this the best way to do things?
The reason I ask is because of some glitches I have ran into with some ROMs, specifically Axura.
I love the ROM, but whenever i restore after flashing it, the lockscreen will stay on after receiving a text message, until i turn it off manually. This is very bad for the battery if i go for a while not noticing a msg.
Any ideas?
After so many flashes its good to flash to back stock through odin. You also need to make sure to check repartition box in odin to make sure there are no skeletons in your closet. Also when restoring apps and data, only do data when going from a 2.1 rom to 2.1. Ive reaf people having problems reinstalling data from 2.1 to 2.2.
Fear the beard...
Another thing I do now that im flashing strictly 2.2 is only restore missing apps and essential system data such as email, accounts and sync settings, wifi settings, and messaging if I want to preserve my texts. Others that might be handy are phone settings and wallpaper settings this last will restore wallpaper and fonts and some other user settings. I have contacts set to sync with gmail. Im sure there's one or two I've forgotten but you get the gist of it.

I ONLY backup & user apps+data. then I use mybackup pro to back up + restore texts, call logs, bookmarks, system settings. Haven't run into any issues doing this.

Disturkis4u,
when you do this
are you flashing from 2.1 to 2.2
or
2.1 to 2.1 or 2.2 to 2.2?
I've done it for both.

i backup user apps and data before every flash. sometimes i batch delete previous backups if there are apps i no longer want/need just to clean things up so i can just run the install user apps+data without going through the list and deselecting ones i no longer want. i've also backed up accounts, wifi access points, and a couple other of the green options in system data. i've never had a problem after restoring.
Does Titanium backup restore game saves or any progress you made?
So I installed the latest MIUI ROM on my I9000 Galaxy S, and everything worked fine for a bit. Then I wanted to retrieve my contacts I had from my previous ROM (Froyo, Darky's ROM) with Titanium backup. I found a file called something like "[contacts(...)]", which seemed like the right one. When I selected it it told me the backup was Contacts 2.2, my current version was Contacts 2.3.(1 or 5?). By accident I restored the app instead of the data.
Now my phone can't load the launcher because I have to force close android.process.acore every time. If I do this it just comes back before the launcher is loaded. I also have to force close Application Launcher. So basically I can't get into any app or menu.
I can still get into download mode or Clockwork Recovery.
So, two questions:
1) Is there a way for me to fix this without losing any data? I suppose I could reflash MIUI, but I'm not sure what would happen to my data and settings.
2) What would be the proper way to restore my contacts, without breaking my system?
Thanks!
Okay, I fixed the loop by going to the app manger via my home button and deleting the contacts data. Still looking for a way to fix the backup though.
I've flashed the task650 and phantom rom. Then installed titanium back up from the market and restored all of my apps. It then said that the android launch error has stopped or something.
What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?
Did you also let TiBu restore all your settings as well? or JUST the apps? Did you restore an app that was included in the ROM?
When switched ROM's you should only restore apps that are not on the device already. You also should be careful with all settings that you restore as well.
For me, I restore the missing apps, that I still want, with data along with accounts, BT pairings, and WiFi settings. That's it.
---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------
Oh, and to fix it, I would just hard reset your device, verify that all is running as it should, and then begin installing your apps again.
This is what I think the sequence of what I have done is.
-Obviously rooted my tablet.
-Backed it up with Rom manager and copy and pasted the back up to my PC as well as the back ups of the apps and settings from titanium.
-Downloaded and transferred the task650 and phantom rom to my tablet.
-Flashed it and deleting the cache and dalvik etc in the process.
-Followed the process of not selecting google during the factory reset and changed my wifi settings and synced google once the flash had finished.
-I then went to the market place and reinstalled titanium from their and restored the apps and data.
-It was at that point when I could not get back onto the android desktop (if thats what its called.)
Now when I click the power button I can unlock it and it brings up this box:
Sorry! The application Launcher (process.com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close or report.
If I hold the power button I see a recovery option with rom manager icon and a download option.
So to answer your question I did let TiBu restore setting as well because I am a total noob. I more than likely did restore an app that was in the rom.
I can't really see if all is running as it should because if I force close the error message it just goes blank and brings the error back up.
I haven't bricked it have I? I hope to god this is fixable.
You are not bricked. I would just follow the steps again on the Task650 and Phantom thread to re-flash the ROM, and just start over. Once you have re-flashed, then reinstall TiBu and then begin restoring only the missing apps with their corresponding data. DO NOT RESTORE any settings or any apps that are already in the ROM unless you know specifically that they are safe to restore (MOST ARE NOT).

Thanks for your help I'm back on ok after a hard reset. I think its back to the way it was before I restored apps and data off tibu.
Im already on the task and phantom rom after the reset so do I need to still reflash the rom?
I'm not really bothered about reinstalling apps, but is their any I should restore?
Would downloading an app from the market I had on the previous rom cause problems?
No, you do not need to re-flash if the hard rest took care of your problem.
The only apps to NOT restore are the ones that are already on the ROM, as that may cause a conflict. Apps that you have downloaded from the market in the past, and that are not currently in the ROM should be ok to restore with TiBu.
Again thanks you have been very helpful.

Correct. To be safe don't restore any system settings or system apps. these show green in titanium. This error if from restoring sudden data on launcher. Task snuff phantoms tom uses a different launcher from stock touchwiz.

I've just left it as it was to be safe, was not to bothered about my apps or settings anyway I'm happy to start over.
So to avoid anything going wrong in the future, do I not update my tablet?
Hi,
For the last 4 days or so whenever I flash a new ROM I keep getting this error @ random times, not even when I go to access the stock messaging app, sms stills works perfectly as well
After lots of research I have deleted the message.db, tried to do full wipes, factory resets and then flash Wanamlite Rom and there it comes back, tried other Roms as well same thing
I have a small suspicion it could be related to flashing different Siyah kernel's form 2.1 to 2.2 and now to 2.3
It just kinda seems to disappear after trying loads of things
....really frustrating.....any advice would be appreciated
What did you do after flashing a new rom or after a factory reset, did you restore anything from a previous backup at all?
All I would restore are my apps via Titanium but not system restores.
Don't think its that because I even get it when I restore to a perfectly good nandroid backup via CWM which never gave the issue but now suddenly does, even do full wipes before the restore as well.

simple solution
I also had a same problem.
I copied an old sms from SIM to Phone memory.
Then started the problem.
Then I installed the third party app "go sms pro"
and deleted the same old message from phone memory inbox.
Now the problem has solved and able to access the default indox.
First let me say that I never ran into this problem on my Galaxy Nexus.
On my Note 2 I'm running Beans 2, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Before I flashed the ROM I created two flashable .zip files with TiBu, one for the app, and one for my backed up apps.
After flashing the ROM, I booted the system, went back to recovery and flashed the .zip for the app.
Then I rebooted the system and opened TiBu. It asked me if I wanted to restore the previous Device ID, which I did, then it rebooted.
Then I went back into recovery and flashed the .zip for the backed up apps.
Rebooted the system and my apps were restored. The problem is that many of them don't work. Not all, but many will FC and require uninstalling and reinstalling from the PlayStore. After that they work.
Anyone run into this problem? Some examples are Netflix and Opera Browser. I've had about five or six others.
I had the same problem with Revision 3, before Beans 2.
Thanks.
By the way, all the apps were initially installed onto the Note 2 from the playstore.
I usually use TiBu and just do a batch restore(there's a little check box at the top right of home screen) and then just check the box to only restore apps (not apps + data), then I'll uncheck all and only select the ones I want to restore.
If there are a few that I want to try and restore data on, I'll do that on the next batch restore, and just leave apps + data checked...but keep in mind sometimes it doesn't properly restore data(and sometimes it doesn't even restore the app. If it's restored but not working properly, a lot of times you can just clear the data on the app in the application manager.
Hope that helps, I've never tried your method but it sounds like it restores EVERYTHING including system apps, which wouldn't be the best way to do it.

TiBu is one of my favs...
don't do the zip. Just backup all app. Put them on the SD card. You can choose that by going into settings and changing the folder where they reside. The boot into android install both tibu and tibu pro then restore missing apps.
I did this tens of time ( I have severe fla****is) never failed. Takes longer but works for me.

No the .zip flash restore was implemented a month or two ago. It takes your app + app data backups and creates a flashable zip. Worked perfect on the Gnex. It doesn't do system apps, unless you included them in your backups. Like I said I noticed it on Netflix and Opera and some other downloaded apps.

Yeah, me too. I started doing the zip restore when it came out. Faster to do it in recovery. But I've done it the old way like you said too. Have you restored any apps on your Note 2 yet? Since unlocking the bootloader and flashing Beans?

Yes,
and they work like a champ.
I am picky with the aroma settings, so I had to flash 5-6 times beans rel 2 till I got it to my likings.
Each time used the old tibu restore missing apps and data feture. Really nice.
The zip file is cool but if something is wrong with only one app, why mess all of them.
my take.
Abe
The only issue I've had so far with TiBu is restoring my Snote notes. After a reboot can see them (thumbnails) in the business folder, but soon as I click on it the stupid thing goes through a sync and all my notes vaporize.
Root, unlocked, Rev3 ROM. Tried Beans, but wasn't crazy about the ICS graphics.
Did you get this fixed? I ran into some trouble with trying to transfer Opera and Opera Mini onto another device. It transfers my bookmarks, speedial and open pages, so some amount of user data is there. But its missing my login information and feeds and adds the standard speeddials after my own (this actually happens on the source device to, creating a backup changes the source). Whats going on there?
I'm sure it worked before Android 5.1.
Old Skool.....

I've always done it the old skool was as well. It's more time consuming but I prefer to keep the rom flashes as clean as possible to help pick out bugs from non-bugs.
I always just restore the apps (no data) - then put in the time getting everything set up again.
Answering a question about how to do something with "I dont do it" isnt really helping.
