[Q] lock screen wp on slick rom jb - AT&T LG Optimus G

How do you use your downloaded wallpapers on the lock screen with this rom. I try selecting wallpapers from my gallery and it says saving after I crop , but it never applies the wallpaper to the lockscreen...

I've run into this problem on both SnowJB and Snow's stock rooted 20j.
Every time it's happened has been after I've restored a nandroid, and the only thing I was able to do to fix it was a clean flash.
As long as you have the paid Titanium Backup, you can create a flashable update.zip of all your user apps + data, so a fresh flash takes like 15 minutes at most.

[Q] Vibrant turning off randomnly

I have a vibrant with the newest Revamped rooted on it (XX-2)
This started last week when my phone randomly turned off while I wasn't using it.
I thought it was because I backed up apps without installing them from the market
so I did a factory reset and flashed without backing up anything.
However it stills turns off randomly.
Can anyone help me on this?
I used titanium backup to backup apps After I downloaded them from the market.
Would this have anything to do with my phone turning off randomly?
Thank you
Titanium Backup probably was NOT the problem.
In titanium backup did you backup any system files (shown by a red text on the app) and restore the app along with data? If yes, thats it, bingo.
DO NOT backup/restore system apps its very unstable.
If not, Do a ODIN start back up from fresh, and see if it still does that after you ODIN - if you decide to flash the same ROM - and it starts again , maybe its the ROM? try another ROM?
revamped is built for overclocking/undervolting. are you doing either? If so check your settings and tweak them as sometimes this can cause your device to crash/reboot at what seems like random intervals.
If you are not Overclocking/Undervolting..... then switch to stock Miui

Homescreen restore after flashing new rom

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way that when i flash a new rom to restore my home screens to the way that they were? I am under the impression that CWN backup backs up everything even the rom so i'm afraid to use that and titanium wont restore my home screens.
Use a different launcher like ADW or launcher Pro, they will let you save homescreen settings. If you like Touchwiz, there is a hacked 4.5 version floating around, I think it is on the I9000 threads.

[Q] Plethora of ROM issues

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....

Your method of restoration after a ROM flash...

I'm a flashaholic like most of us here. I'd like to know your methods/steps/tricks for restoring accounts/settings/ringtones/apps/data configs ect after a new ROM flash.
Apps Restoration:
-Titanium Backup with user/data restoration would make the ROM unstable. Lots of freezes and Reboots. Some applications were just unusable which forced a painful 'level-down-the-problem' process or simply getting pissed and trying another ROM(which i falsely blamed the problems on the ROM). I know every ROM instructions say not to do this....but this method would be ideal if it worked.
-Titanium Backup with just user-apps restore(no data) was MUCH better yet I still had a few freezes and reboots. So I still haven't found a truly clean ROM with apps-restored from backup.
-No Backup restore, I simply downloaded all the apps and this is the CLEANEST method I've found so far. This is great and all but when you have 200 apps the download process is soooooo long. Plus I have to reconfigure everything. To get a working phone with this method feels like it takes a solid 3 days.
Settings
-This has to be the most painful part. Re-configuring your launcher, widgets, settings, accounts, ringtones, alarms ect.
So what is your routine? What quick and safe/clean methods do you use to restore your phone after a new ROM flash? Do you use tasker for any of this(if so please share your examples/templates)? Any other apps you use for restore like apptozip or maybe you compile your own recovery zip?

-i always use and always recommend Helium over ANY other restore app.
-i use it to restore all user apps except for g+/fb which i download from the market
-never never never restore anything to do with system even if you are using the same rom.
-launcher settings are auto there when restored from helium *i do keep a backup in launcher settings though just in case*
-settings are the only thing that need to be done from scratch which i dont mind as i get to look through the settings of the new rom to see changes ect..
-if you use a rom that uses hybrid settings from pa, always keep a backup of those settings via hybrid settings to restore after rom flash
hopefully this helps

[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
