Here's a really odd one. Sometime, when I reboot, I lose a couple of installed apps! It doesn't happen on every reboot, but it's always the same apps. RSA Secure ID, and Swiftkey. It's insane! I'll add an exposed module or want to flash a kernel and when the system comes back up after the reboot, those apps will be gone! I can restore them fine from TiBu, but why are they disappearing in the first place?!? I can't figure out what's happening.
Any thoughts folks? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks,

Did you manually install these apps or are they from store? Is verify apps enabled in settings? Only reason I can think of as to why they are uninstalling themselves

After hacking the phone to run webtop without the docks, I was just going about my phone and was curious about the "System updates" button and got this:
Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button
When I click the setup button, nothing happens. Did I mess up one of the files during the process of hacking my phone, because before attempting the webtop hack, when I still had root and adeo on, I did not get this message.
Account syncing: my facebook account will not sync with the contacts on my phone. The social networking app and widget is not running properly for the same reason as from the message given above ^^.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Did you use Titanium Backip to freeze apps. This is a symptom of freezing apps. To get this to work unfreeze all your apps and make sure the MotoBlur account is syncing.
I didn't use titanium backup to freeze any of the apps. I'm still kind of new to android and so I might need some guidance in more simpler terms
Did you create a blur account?
yes and it was already linked when I received my unit on the 21st
would it be reasonable to attempt a factory reset, even though I rooted it and installed ADEO?

What exactly does freezing do? I can't seem to find a answer on the net. Can one manually "defrost" a frozen app?

I think so, I'm pretty sure TiBu just adds a ".bak" to the application because when you freeze something it's still in your app drawer until you restart your phone vs when it's uninstalled its gone instantly. The benifit to freezing vs uninstalling is if you freeze the wrong thing or want it back it's still there, but if you uninstall it it's gone and you'd need to ask someone else for it or something.
anyone solved this error? I also got the error today
Is your phone deodexed? That could be the problem maybe.

freeze until you know it doesn't cause any problems then uninstall if you want, though no real advantage imho....I just freeze them

Above is the best answer - recently because I froze some system apps rather than uninstall them, it saved me from a reinstall - I froze S Voice, and 2 "Google Search" apps. After a restart my keyboard went mental - could'nt select the correct characters, example - pressing backspace just put loads of Z's on the screen. A quick defrost and restart cured the problem.
Only uninstall after a Freeze test is my recommendation.
Freeze them, so you will have fewer problems, if you need them later! (Reinstalling)
Here is the problem. I've been using custom ROMs since they became available on S3. Most of this ROMs recommend doing a WIPE prior to flashing via CWM for a clean install. It was ok but then I noticed that my Facebook App, Messenger and even inlcuding the built-in Email app doesn't give me any notfications whatsoever. But if check the said apps, new messages and alerts are there, the only difference is there are no LED Notifications and No Tones and No Alerts even at the Pull Down Notification Screen. I have checked the app's settings regarding sync and everything is ok. I tried both this methods, restoring apps from Titanium Backup and restoring the app's apk files which I managed to save thanks to Android Assistant. I even tried uninstalling those apps then downloading them again from PlayStore, only to encounter the said issues.
What can I do about this? Since then I was forced to just directly flash the ROMs without any Wipe.
System settings?
So does that mean you have checked the system settings as well?
Yes I did

Yes. I've checked everything. Quite strange actually
Yeah I came across this problem as well, but my email notifications and everything all show up except facebook. Whenever I get a notification for facebook, it is only through email and not through the actual app itself. It doesn't bother me that much but would be great if someone had an idea how to fix.
Any updates on this?
I have an original SGS, but always go through the same problem whenever I clean install a new ROM.
I've found out that if:
- I restore app+data from Titanium Backup -> No notifications
- I install app from Play Store, then restore data from TB -> No notifications
- Complete fresh install of app from Play Store -> Notifications work.
Such a pain having to follow this method, and makes me wonder if something is going wrong when TB is restoring.. food for thought anyways, hope this helps!

Data from another rom can mess apps up, if you restore data via titanium its probably from a different rom so that could be messing things up. Or the data in titanium could be corrupt download all apps from play store, and delete the titanium the backup folder and re backup see if that fixes it.

That certainly makes sense, cheers for the heads up!
Another question, something that probably won't work but makes me curious.
You know when you update nightlies, and it gives you that screen when you boot saying 'updating apps'? What is that process doing, and would that correct the data in any way?
Hopefully someone could steer me in the right direction
I'm in the process of recovering after updating to the latest ROM/firmware using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149095
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far, except I'm having trouble de-bloating. Being a n00b, I remember being able to uninstall just about any app I wished to delete after finishing the dirty work of rooting and such directly in the operating system (drag the shortcut to the uninstall label at the top of the screen). I cannot remember how exactly I got to that point...I've tried running a script I found to auto de-bloat while in the bootloader, no luck.
Also, my apps do not seem to be auto downloading again as they had after I went through the rooting process a month ago. Having the phone re-install apps, and even properly replace their shortcuts was quite nice ...any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks in advance.
Settings -> Apps -> All, tap an app, choose disable.
I do remember you could just drag a shortcut right from the app drawer to the "info" and then disable. But it doesn't work now, maybe after update...

Thanks for the reply! I've disabled many of the apps, too bad they're not truly uninstalled though. I do know before the update, I was able to uninstall most Verizon apps using the app drawer (all but voicemail which was still protected for good reasons). But now, I can't seem to do that anymore. Ill try installing bloatware remover v3, still can't remember what exactly allowed me to directly uninstall the apps. Maybe its just the update that's causing this.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. It was the Bloatware Remover v3 that allowed me to do this. Thanks for the feedback though!
Maybe the apps aren't auto recovering due to this being a new version of the rom. Apps are treating my phone as if it's new, even though I'm connected to my Google account.

As the title states, I was wondering if anyone out there happens to know why restoring an app+data from Titanium Backup after a Factory Reset causes Push Messages (GCM I believe) to stop working. It seems fairly obvious that when restoring an app+app data from a previous installation, they get confused and the push messages aren't being delivered to the right place.
So far the only solution that I've found to the problem is to wipe the app's data, and restart from scratch.
I've done a lot of Google searching, and I have seen that there are a handful of other people who have had this same problem, but I have yet to see anyone come up with a working solution, though there have been a few things I've tried. This is my normal procedure I do when I upgrade/flash a new rom:
Code:
-Backup with Titanium Backup
-Backup with GO Backup
-Nandroid with TWRP
-Factory Reset
-Flash ROM
-Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-Boot
-Sign into Google Account
-Install Titanium Backup
-Restore previous Android ID
-Reboot
-Use Titanium Backup to restore Apps+AppData, as well as some system settings
-Reboot
At this point, some of my GCM push notifications don't work. The only way I can get them to work again is to wipe the app's data and start from scratch. I have tried the following things, none of which worked, but they might provide helpful information.
Code:
-Wiped the app data, restored the app data by itself again.
-Uninstalled the app, installed from Google Play, restored app data.
-Used Application Manager to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Went into the app's settings to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Cleared data on Google Services Framework
-Removed Google Account, cleared data on Google Services Framework, rebooted.
[B] (This actually had an even worse side effect of re-breaking GCM push
notifications for all of the apps I had fixed by hand)[/B]
At this point I'm at a loss, I'm not sure what else to try. It kind of looks like the Google Account/GSF is related to GCM. I don't remember exactly, but I think I tried restoring the previous GSF App+Data on my most recent flash, and it still didn't work.
Anyways, I'm kind of rambling, if anyone is able to provide any insight or help, it would be greatly appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, here's some lists of the affected/unaffected apps.
It DOES affect the following:

Bejeweled
CBS Sports
Chase
Facebook
Messenger (FB)
Reddit News
Waze
XDA app
It does NOT affect the following:
Code:

try to restore only data on titanium backup, not restore app&data
Don't forget to hit THANKS button
I've tried that way, but it didn't work either
Bump for a new day D:
Would love help on this, I have the exact same problem...
I've had this problem for a long, long time (a year or two). If there's a solution, I haven't seen it yet.
Glad that I am not the only one.
Add me to the annoyance list.
I can't figure out how to get SSG2 to notify me, and that's not an app I want to clear data on as it will lose my level saves.
Voxer also has this problem.
Interestingly enough, the Risk style game LandRule has a way to refresh the Google sync services and it works perfectly.
Multiplayer->Notifications->Having trouble...->Refresh Registration.
Very handy tool to have available, need to find a way to spread to other apps!
Try removing and re-adding your Google account. After trying a few things, this either fixed it for me, or was just coincidental timing.
I do see that you tried this... but do it without clearing GSF data.
So glad I found this!
I had been researching why Voxer lost GCM notifications, with no luck and getting frustrated. Eventually stumbled across this thread and problem solved. Back story: two days ago I flashed a factory image and restored user apps & data from TiB. Never would have guessed that any thing to do with GCM "breaking". But sure enough after reading this, I cleared data in Voxer and all is well.
God bless XDA for all the little things like this. Couldn't own a phone without it.
We could really use some type of GCM interface to relink or whatever, if that's possible. Maybe even TiB would be a great vehicle for that?
OK I'm confused. So this problem is not solved?
Solved my particular problem with Voxer by clearing data. Problem with it breaking to begin with not solved.

So, interesting update for folks in this thread.
My push notifications in SSG have finally been fixed with the latest update.
Now I don't know if it's because something in the update fixed it or because the act of updating from the Playstore re-synced with you/Google.
Will be interesting to check next time I flash a ROM and start from scratch. Will certainly be keeping an older version of the apk to update from if needed
Had the same issue. Lost all push notifications from Whatsapp and other gcm-enabled apps after flashing to CM11 and restoring apps+data with Titanium Backup. Finally tried using the Push Notifications Fixer (root version) app and all of a sudden, my Whatsapp notifications are coming in fine. Not sure if the app really fixed the issue or if it was just a coincidence..

Anybody else having luck with that app?
Doesn't do anything for me, tried activating service, changing to 5min and resetting to default but doesn't fix push notifications from Voxer, SSG2 or LandRule...
Anything I'm doing wrong?
I'm using the latest version of TiB and my push notifications never work after a restore. Ive been manually reinstalling any apps that send me notifications after trying everything else others in here have tried. Basically TiB is only saving my WiFis for me these days. Subscribed for a fix!
Has anyone tried backing up and restoring app data with nandroid backups and apps that handle them, instead of TiBu? OBackup, ROM Manager are a couple of apps I believe do this.
What I did is backup app+data but reinstalled from PlayStore and opened up app to where it asked you to login and then goto TiB and restored Data and it worked for me!
I wish best to luck to everyone!
Also having the same issue but I've restored so many apps that I don't know which ones, other than the obvious messengers and the like, use GCM and might have it broken. I did at least figure out that deleting the app data (or uninstalling/reinstalling from the Play Store in my case) fixes the problem on an app by app basis.
A thought occurred to me but I haven't tried it myself... Has anyone tried restoring an app while using SuperSU? I seem to recall Titanium prompting that normal SU isn't very good and should be changed for optimal results but I've always ignored it. Maybe it's affecting that part of the restore.

Tested my own theory with Voxer and it didn't help.
for me "Push Notifications Fixer" didn't resolve the problem with Whatsapp and UppTalk. To re-enable notifications and not lose data I do this:
1) delete AppData
2) open the App
3) login
4) restore AppData
like badboytw suggested above...
