[Q] Playstore problem with ICS + Phone ID ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I just upgraded my SGSII with UHLPE firmware, since the device came with Gingerbread 2.3.6, and root it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.
Everything went smoothly and the firmware was flashed without any problems, so do the rooting. After i restored my apps with Titanium Backup, i tried to install Apex launcher from Google Play Store, and there's where i found out that my Play store app doesn't recognize the ICS installed on my device.
I started to search for apps that only work on ICS, and no luck, although the original Web Page DOES tell me that my SGSII is compatible with the apps.
Titanium backup told me that the Phone ID had changed, after the apps backed up were restored, so i decided to restore the Phone ID, but no luck, Play store still doesn't show me the apps for ICS.
Does some one know what the heck happened here
How can i , in some way, tell the Play store app that what is running on my SGSII is ICS 4.0.3 ??

Have you already wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache in recovery?
If that does not help, try to clear app data via Settings > Applications > All > Play store > Clear data.
Good luck !

Still not working...
Hi there...
Just did what you mentioned before, but no luck.
Tried wiping dalvik and partition cache, also , deleting the data on the Play store app, i even uninstall the updates.
But still no luck, no tringle away, no apex launcher, nothing ICS related :crying:

Problem solved!
Just to let other people know what happend and how to solve this..
I figure out that what mess with my phone was, that when i run the "restore all my apps" from Titanium Backup, i didn't notice i also run the "system data" restore.
So what happend was, that my 4.0.3 on the inside had parts of 2.3.6, since i restored info from my Gingerbread backup.
That was the cause that Play store didn't recognize me as ICS.
So in the end, wha i did was:
1.- Reboot in recovery mode
2.- Factory reset
3.- Wipe cache partition
4.- Wipe Dalvik cache
5.- Wipe battery stats
With this, i rebooted my device and had my IceCreamSandwich back up, with all well, Play store now knows that what i'm running is 4.0.3, and all the benefits of that.
Finally i ran again the batch option of "Restore user apps + data" from Titanium Backup, WITHOUT the system data option.
Case closed hahahahaha!!!:good:

[Q] Market problem

I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find anything.
When i go to the downloads section in my market only apps i have recently downloaded or paid for appear. Not all the apps i have on my phone.
I recently softbricked my phone going from bionix 4.2 with the ul kernel to bionix v5 beta. I was also one of the unlucky few who had my internal sd wiped when i flashed 4.2 with the UL Kernel. I odined back to JFD and then flashed Bionix 5. I logged in to my google account before and opened the market before i restored any apps from titanium backup. I have tried clearing the cache from the market, tried clearing all data and cache from phone through clockwork, and tried flashing back to 4.2 stock kernel.
It doesnt even recognize apps that came installed like gmail or maps or youtube. only apps i downloaded or have purchased. Does anyone know what could be wrong or what i could do to get the market to recognize my apps?
Downloads, by definition, only contains your downloaded apps. The pre-installed apps don't reside there, unless they've been updated....
-bZj
Well yes I understand this, but every other rom I have used before the soft brick, would show all of the apps that I restored with titanium backup as downloaded in the market.

[Q] Does Titanium Backup breaks restored apps' links to the market?

I went from Eclair 2.1 to Axura 2.2.5.7 and can't be happier with my phone. However, I have noticed that when Titanium backup restored the apps and data, it broke some apps' link with the market. This lead to not being able to get updates on those apps from market. When I go to market, it does NOT show me having an application marked as installed when its on the phone and was restored by Titanium backup. I may be wrong but this is what I conclude.
Is it true that Titanium will break some of the restored apps' links to the market and you wont get notification that there is an update waiting.
If I am right, what could be a possible solution?
Thanks
It happened to me before what I did was clean the cache of the market and then run titanium backup Market Doctor and then it worked like a charm. I hope that helps you.
Settings applications market clear data/cache

I regularly clear cache using 'Cache Mate'. Is 'Titanium backup market doctor' an app? How exactly did you do it?
open titanium > press menu button ( the one next to the home button )
Clearing the cache from Settings -> Applications didn't work for me (the Market Doctor didn't find any recoverable links), so I tried clearing the cache for Market in Titanium Backup (select the Backup/Restore tab and find Market in the list; tapping the entry will give you an option to Wipe Data). Once wiped, I ran the Market Doctor again which was able to re-attach the missing applications.

Awesome. Thank you
When i use Titanium backup it messes up my apps. I cant update or download some apps in the market even after trying all the fix methods. It sucks but anytime i use a new ROM i unfortunately end up reinstalling each app one by one to keep from having any market issues.

Bumping an older thread to say thanks for this information. I had this issue and the normal stuff didn't work but this finally did. Bring it back current in case anyone else is looking for similar info.
Cheers, same fix also worked for me, wiping from manage applications didn't work, but TB Wipe Data did.
Sorry to bring this up again but Titanium Backup is not helping me with this
The only way to recover my apps in market is reinstalling the room and then reinstalling all the apps one by one

Do you mean install them one by one with Titanium Backup, or through market?
You can use a batch installation to restore a large amount of apps at once (I do not suggest ALL at once). You can create a flashable update.zip to restore a bunch of apps at once.
You can also reinstall any apps that you want individually and either run the Market Doctor or if long press on the app (within TB) a pop-up menu will, guess what? Pop-up. In there are options to attach/detach from market. This works well also if you don't want an app to be "seen" by the market, such as an update that you are sick of seeing in the market that you aren't going to update or "bootleg" apps that you might have got on-line somewhere.

what this guy said
Well actually Market Doctor is not working, for some reason, my market database is messed up and I can't see any apps under "my apps" in the market. Titanium Backup doesn't help, I have reinstalled the rom about 4 times already and I have tried everything
Same problem for me.
If I install a new ROM after a full wipe, everything is OK with the market, I can find all my previously downloaded free apps and paid apps under the tab "my apps"
If I use Titanium, pro version, to restore my user apps (and ONLY my apps and games, no system apps, just what I had downloaded from the market!), it leads to the following result:
If I look for an app I've bought, I can find it and download/update it, no problem
But if I go to my installed apps, I just have a white screen with this:
" myemail@gmail.com
Associated games and apps for this account are here "
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Under this, I have two boxes: "Browse apps" and "browse games". Clicking on one of them just brings me back to the Marjet main menu!!!
Tried this twice today, twice I full-wiped and reinstalled my ROM, twice the market was perfectly working and then was brocken after using Titanium to restore my apps and games
Cleaning market datas (even from Titanium) cleaning cache, fixing permissions in the recovery, using market Doctor or forcing an app to be linked to the market with titanium, nothing helps!
As I have about 100 games and apps, it will take some time to try restoring them individually and verify that the market is not broken between each
Any hint appreciated !!!!!
You can do a batch restore and restore a.....batch of apps.
If you want stability in that area( i dont, im app free just10, stay with one rom and download from market for a clean install. Too much confusion for titinium titty. conflicting permissions. Hey rube, still p.c. free
Nope I got a new one an it is loaded with all the goodies. Just need an apk decompiler and I might start cooking some themes. Lost my old pc and all the stuff on HD I hadn't backed up yet.

[HELP] KI3 Black Screen after Restore Apps via Titanium Backup

=== UPDATE ===
This is not Titanium Backup problem.
It is ROM >= 2.3.5 problem, I have created a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446961
==============
I have weird problems after changing from official stock 2.3.4 KI4 to official stock 2.3.5 KI3 (both from intratech).
I have ~452 user apps backed up in TitaniumBackup 4.0.2, situation:
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > restore all user apps via TB > black screen
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > reinstall all apps 1by1 via Market > no problem
- flash KI3 > wipe data/fact reset > reinstall ~360 apps 1by1 via Market > no problem > restore remaining ~92 user apps via TB > black screen
- flash KI4/KH3 > wipe data/fact reset > restore all user apps via TB > no problem
I also tried only restore user apps (not user apps+data) but still black screen in KI3.
I also tried option "App processing mode": "Interactive (Classic Android Installer)" in TB but also black screen.
The black screen I mean is after booting, after around 2-3 minutes, the screen becomes black, only status bar is visible, lock-screen is also visible when locking then unlocking screen. System is not responding, then there is popup "Process Ssystem is not responding" [FC]/[Wait].
Then system will soft-reboot without displaying the "Samsung Galaxy S2" and without boot screen animation (only hear boot sound), but it will keep in black screen, then display popup, then soft-reboot again.. cycle continues..
I experience in flashing my SGS1 ~100 times and SGS2 ~15 and I never had problem before when restoring from Titanium Backup.
I need TB to restore the apps data.
Somehow TB backup/restore process is not compatible with 2.3.5?
Anyone experiencing this problem? (especially when you have so many apps backups)
Is there suggestion what can I do? Where to look at error debug message if any?
Note: All is stock (with kernel CF-Root KI3 v4.1)
Wow, no reply at all.
Seems that only me having 450+ apps
By the way, I try MyBackup Root instead of Titanium Backup but same problem.
Somehow the firmware 2.3.5 can not handle so many restored apps
I guess there is something different between 2.3.5 and earlier 2.3.x. in loading apps database.
have you tried searching through the forums and see if any results come up on TB? what i mean like guides on how to sort problems out? i dont want to suggest anything and you lose your apps cause thats quite alot...what id normally say would be try clean wipe the rom your on...what i mean is wipe your data cache and dalvik flash the rom that your on (thats if you are on custom rom) and then once your back on your rom then try and install your apps through TB again...by the way do you have the premium version of tb or just freee version

I already mailed to TB support and I give the adb logcat too.
The problem is not with Titanium Backup only, but MyBackup Root also. I also tried the latest TB 4.5.0 free version but same problem.
So I think there is something changed in 2.3.5 dealing with (many) restored user apps.
I already tried all kind of stuffs I know: wipe data/fact reset, wipe data cache, wipe dalvik, fix permission.
Even just restoring user apps (not apps data) is still problem in 2.3.5 KI3.
I use only stock rom + cf-root for rooting.
I will now try it with the new KI8..

[Q] All apps crash after installing rom update

Hey guys, I have the ViperX+ 2.0.1 rom, but my problem is not really about the rom itself.
A week ago the ota update got released, so I made a backup and installed t, but as I already expected it there was
the same problem I had before: After loading and adjusting all apps it loads my wallpaper, but after that all apps crash,
so I have to turn the phone off by pressing the power button. This is caused by the app LuckyPatcher. In LuckyPatcher
there's a feature which installs a modded playstore, when I installed it for the first time restarted the device but after booting
all apps kept crashing, so I had to restore a backup, then I changed the modded playstore version and it worked fine.
Now back to the ota update problem: I installed the original play store with luckypatcher and removed the app,
then I installed the update and all apps crashed again, so removing luckypatcher doesn't help anymore
(restored the data via backup again). Have you guys any idea how to fix this, cause my latest backup is a few months old..
Or should I just backup my data and do a full wipe? If yes what should I backup in TWRP (only data or boot too,
cause I don't know which of them contains the broken files), or use something like Titanium Backup. I don't mind if I have to set
all the options and tweaks manually again, I just want to keep my files (music, pics, apps, etc.),
so which way would you recommend me? Thanks in advance

You should wipe / factory reset before you install any ROM. These apps you're loading, how are you loading it ? Through backup or play store ? Is it system apps or downloaded apps ?

By loading apps I mean the usual process after booting the phone, it says ''Android wird aktualisiert'' (Android gets updated).
*edit: I guess fixing the problem would be much more complicated than performing a full wipe, so which way to backup my data (as written in the main post) would you recommend me?

Do a factory reset from TWRP. You will lose your text messages and apps ect. If you don't want to go through the process of re-downloading your apps, you can use titanium backup and backup apps but not app data (not recommended). Flashing roms without doing a wipe/factory reset = hot mess. Unless otherwise said no wipe needed.
Edit just keep check of the Rom discussion to see if anyone has the same problem. Try wiping then install 2.01 make a complete boot then install ota

[Q] Issues after installing the new Viper

I just installed Viper DNA v3 and I cannot get any apps to download. At first it worked, and let me re download all my apps that google had backed up, and then I used titanium to restore all the app data, but not the google play store does not work, and even manually getting an sdk and trying to install from that is just stuck on "Installing........"
I am not sure what I did wrong. I am almost certain I installed everything right.

Restore apps only never the app data.
Try a factory reset and reflash.
