hey there, every time i reboot my phone, half my homepage icons disappear. They are still in the main app windows and i can copy them back to the home page until next reboot.
the phone is a roots stock S2. i think it started after i ran a batch "move to sd" on all apps in titanium backup pro - i suspect this maybe the cause but what's the fix?
thanks

Move them back to internal storage.
Reboot and clear cache and advanced/dalvik in CWM Recovery.
Done

sounds easy (ish) except i don't know which ones to move back! Do you know _why_ it is happening?

If you use Titanium backup again & use the batch operation to move back (all!) your user apps to internal memory, this should resolve your missing icons problem!
As post above, but you can choose to select which app to move.
Any widget or shortcut etc stored on your sdcard will not run on boot as it's a different partition and some apps are not written to do so.
So just select (check/uncheck) those to move back (or all of them) and then recreate the shortcut after.
1. Batch / move user apps to internal memory / select apps / run
2. Maybe reboot and wipe cache and Dalvik in recovery.
3. Setup shortcuts etc

In Cyanogen Mod settings under lockscreen, my brother disabled the slide to unlock feature, so when I try to unlock the phone I see the lockscreen, but there is no type of slider at all on the lockscreen. Is there anyway to bypass the lockscreen without having to do a factory reset/data wipe?? Thanks
Well out of 4 settings for lockscreen, he would have had to enable one to disable the other. Is there absolutely nothing showing on your lockscreen? Like a circle or something?

When he had disabled it, he selected trackball to replace unlock slider, but the LG thrill doesn't have a trackball

Download the CyanogenMod ROM zip again, take out and reinsert your phone battery, boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup, connect the phone to a computer and choose 'toggle USB storage', transfer the CyanogenMod zip file to SD card, install CyanogenMod again. Now see if the lockscreen is back to normal. If not, you'll have to boot back into recovery, wipe data cache & system and install CyanogenMod. This will be a fresh install, after you install it download Titanium backup from Play Store, and choose the option to restore data from nandroid backup. You can selectively restore apps and data instead of restoring the whole thing, which will reactivate the previous lockscreen setting.
Note: Your data will be safe in the nandroid backup, so worst case you can just restore it and go back to the way your phone is now and look for another solution.

I didn't know that titanium backup could restore from nandroid backups. Thanks for the info. He's up and running again.

I have a big problem with Google Currents, as when I run MyBackUp it freezes when it comes to that app, or if I have background sync on in Google Currents, or when I try to uninstall the app.
I can't even factory reset under recovery as it always freezes when it tries to format 'data'.
Any ideas on how to fix?
I'm running CyanogenMod 9.

Delete currents data manually (with a file explorer, a terminal or via adb). Try the whole directory first (in /sdcard/Android/data search for the currents directory), if that doesn't work, delete everything inside the directory first then delete the directory.
Thanks for your help.
I've now tried that with Root Explorer but can only get as far as deleting all the other files under com.google.android.apps.currents which aren't creating a problem. I am left with 2 directories I can't open or delete without the system freezing and requiring a restart.
Any other ideas?
Try doing the same, but in recovery via adb, that way you'll be sure that currents is not in use. If you have directories inside com.google.android.apps.currents that can't be deleted, go inside those directories and delete everything inside, then delete the directories.
I can only drill down so far in com.google.android.apps.currents before I freezes. I can't get in to the 2 problem directories to delete any files in them.
I'll try and get my head round adb and see if I can delete it that way.
Thanks again.
Dude... Try to re flash the rom or port another rom... One more option is to take out sd card... Nd format it from your computer after copying your necessary data!
If useful... Do thank :thumbup:

I've tried to reflash the ROM but I can't factory reset as it freezes when it tries to format /data. I've tried to flash another ROM as well (without a factory reset) but that didn't solve my problem and just gave me a less stable ROM as I didn't format /data.
The problem files aren't on the SD card, so taking that out and formatting it won't help.
Thanks for your suggestions though. :good:

It seems to be any access of the directories by the system creates a freeze.
Hopefully I can work out how to use adb and delete them that way.
If google currents is installed in your internal memory..try to tramsfer it to sd card..and if its in sd card try changing your sd card and also formatting it FROM THE COMPUTER !! :thumbup:

Do you know what the adb commands are to move the app to the SD card? I can't find one.
Or even better just a way to uninstall the app using adb which will hopefully delete the problem directories with it. (Should do!)
I'm an adb n00b and don't understand if/when I need to be mounting /data for example.
Thanks
It's OK I found the command I needed. mv
Problem fixed!
Thanks
I created a backup because I wanted to try a mod ,I didn't like the mod because it messed up the system UI.
So I tried to restore the backup however I ended up with the Samsung logo flashing?
I advanced restored the boot image and the phone started but all my apps were force closing , then I tried the full restore however the /data section wouldn't restore because it was corrupted
what's my best option? I've currently decided to boot to the nandroid menu and go on wipe data/factory reset , the phone has restored and I'm restoring using Titanium Backup. This will bring back my user apps I think?. But is there any way to restore wifi passwords and bookmarks and calendar appointments?
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance
I am pretty sure that by signing into your Google account it should restore your WiFi passwords and bookmarks automatically

Before flashing anything.. go to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache, when done "fix permissions" ,this option is located in advanced menu in recovery. Now reboot.
Use "titanium backup" to backup BT WIFI and other settings.
Ps. Don't restore system apps, only the app data if absolutely necessary.

I agree with zodiaxe66's suggestion always try something like this before you just go flashing away.

I've used Mobile Odin to flash the stock LFB .I've done this before perfectly.
But this time once I load the file the:
Kernel,Recovery,System,Cache, Modem and Hidden are filled in
Param and Data are clear.
And I tick:
Enable everroot .Inject SU ,Inject Mobile Odin.
And I select
Wipe data and Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Then I select flash firmware.
the mobile Odin screen pops up and it shows the progress when it flashes the
kernel recovery system hidden
and wipes the dalvik cache
However the Message App still force closes!
could somebody please help me out ? I'm getting proper stressed now

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Did u download the additional file beside the app itself. Either from mobile Odin thread or if bought it from market,then turn on wifi and open Odin again and u be asked to download additional file.
remember to grant superuser permission.
Update from the idiot, partial success achieved .
I ended up flashing the stock rom using odin on the desktop then I flashed CWM recovery rooted supersu etc
Then I started the phone, memory card is intact, however phone memory was wiped. Luckily my titanium folder is on the memory card. So luckily I was able to restore the apps and data. No force closes now
The stuff I lost on the internal memory was music (now restored) camera pics (most restored thanks to dropbox) ringtones and bookmarks.
However I have much more free internal memory than before, so I was wondering whether I could be missing an important folder or something than may cause issue with apps or is there anything important I might have lost?
Thanks once again for helping an idiot out

No your probably not missing anything
Important in fact when your phones internal storage was wiped it very likely got rid of the traces of any file that could cause problems.

I think if you long press on the options that are green it should bring up a list of options such as backup, restore, etc. try that and see what happens.

Yes if you have the pro version of titanium backup you can schedule an automated backup that backs up to dropbox or Google drive I believe.

OK guys i.'m tying to track down the file or files responsible for saving the programs I choose for my default apps. I am having my settings only stick for around ten minutes. After that time I have to choose my default app if multiple choices exist again.
I have a working theory that my permissions on said file or files are borked and I need to get them setup right again. I think they are not being written to the "save" fle and when the program chosen is killed my choice is killed with it.
I have tried using fix permissions in my recovery to no avail.
I am on MeanRom 2.6 ICS I am s-off with full root access.
Could someone tell me the file or files I should check and what the permissions should be when I look at them?
Thanks for any help,

I would try a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, boot) and then flash the ROM again. Some files might have gotten messed up during the flash so it's always best to start with a clean slate

Yes I do it everytime when flashing new ROMS, but lately Ive done a clean install then i wondered what is the best way to restore my files.
I download all the apps first if moving to a different rom, although it should make no difference. My restores got messed up one time so this is how I go.

Clean install I mean I did a full wipe using mega script that formats cache dalvik data system preload ...
But thats not the question. It is when you restore via TB you onlly restore things in green and white? Everything in red you untick?

Just press on the tick in the top right corner, scroll down to 'restore' and select 'restore apps with missing data'. They are the apps you want.
