All,
I am an idiot. Last weekend I rooted my Galaxy S2 and was really happy that everything worked well. Yesterday morning I removed some packages which I thought are not required using Titanium backup without making a backup of them before!
That was in fact a big mistake, what's now happening is that after system reboot a popup appears telling me:
process com.sec.android.socialhub was terminated unexpectedly and what's even worse when I start the stock email application (com.android.email) it is terminated, too.
I need that program to connect to my work, they check remotely what application is used.
So my question to you guys is:
how can I find out what I need to reinstall, where do I get it and how can I reinstall it?
Any hints are greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.

think it is worth to mention, Android version 2.3.3, base I9100BUKE1, kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE2-CL188370 [email protected]#2, Build Gingerbread.BUKE2
If you make a factory reset you should have all back. make a backup of your existing apps first!

No, all the data is gone but the problem is still there. Obviously, not all the packages are reinstalled automatically after a factory reset. Is there a way of forcing that?
Please help, I am totally lost.
Unfortunately no as you have found out factory reset just deletes data for all applications but doesn't reinstall anything you may have deleted.
Only thing I can think of is to find a copy of the stock Rom you are on that matches your current version and flash that.
I assume you have an S2 based on the info you posted, try the link below and you should be able to find something that helps:

ok so basically i want to find a way to get to 4.3 either rooted or unrooted, my problem is that i have pretty bad ocd and one of my major major problems with that disorder is my tech devices, i will most likely have an anxsiety attack or 2 if i have to set up my phone from scratch and i will spend hours making it look exactly the same. anyway, i want to know:
1:how to update rooted gs3 Gt-i9305t 4g/lte model without loosing data (if possible )
2: update to 4.3 and un root without loosing data (im sure thats impossible )
i would really appreciate the help as i cannot find anyone looking for the same help as me (kinda strange how no one cares about there data at all, but meh)
also on a side note, i have the problem with my s3 where any sd card i put into the machine will eventually kill itself and never work again as far as i know, it has killed 3 32gb sd cards now and its starting to piss me off to the point where i am no longer using an sd card at all. why does the phone do this and is there any way to fix it? either software wise or hard wear wise? thanks !!! :fingers-crossed:
4.3 source code has only just been released. 4.3 roms are not fully functional and have bugs. There are no official releases so they are all "rooted".
You really do need to wipe when making version updates. Theres no way around this.
Stick with what you've got.
that just sucks.

hey another quick question, is there a way to so a full backup, like im talking FULL, like down to the point of where ur apps are placed and all there data, like apple devices have through itunes?? (restore from backup option) cus if so then i dont mind wiping at all, i just hate apple so i will never go back to one of there piece of **** devices again (i like features with my shiny brick) but yeah anything like that? or can kies do that?
i'm using temasek 4.3 preview 3 atm, you should check it out since developer is extremely helpful
and he updates regularly (which is important)
There are a number of ways to keep your data. Including ones that will let you change the ROM and still have your data. Titanium Backup - not sure if it is only Pro version but the one I have lets me create a backup on the extSDcard so I can flash it in a new ROM and restore all my apps and data straight off. SMS Backup and restore and Call Backup and restore both save out your data to the extSDcard so you can bring them back. I used to use My Backup Root as well but it ceased to work on the last update so I nuked it.
Add in a nandroid backup on something like Philz Recovery (where you can do an Advanced Restore from External SDCard and bring back just parts of your current ROM) and you can always get back to your look & feel in any new ROM.
The one thing I ahve NOT found a solution for is replacing my widgets back on the screens they are on - I run 7 screens and it pisses me off a full recovery in something like Titanium doesn't restore my widgets. The only way it happens is a full nandroid restore but that nukes the new ROM I have just installed so that's not an option.
I run Purelook HD as my 1st ROM, GoogyMax kernel and SlimBean as my 2nd ROM. I can nuke either or both and be back to my set up (including widgets) in about 45 minutes.

Lets dissect this a little.
A Nandroid backup will take a snapshot of your phone. If you flash something wrong, it can be used to restore your data / settings and rom exactly how it was. This will not help restore your data and settings on a new ROM where you had to perform a wipe. (You have to perform a wipe to prevent data and settings incompatibilities with the new ROM that will cause problems.)
Titanium backup is great. However, if you had to perform a wipe, you cannot simply restore everything using Titanium. This is because you will be restoring the incompatabilities (System data) and restoring the problems (negating the point of the wipe in the first place). You can restore user apps and data with titanium but there will be an element of manually setting all your rom settings.
OP - Please read the "Read before rooting" thread in my signature for more info.

screw it, ill just stay on 4.2.1 i mostly want it cus they (****ING FINALLY ) partially fixed the setting wallpaper problems so you can get at least most of the photo in the screen now, i have it on my nexus 7 but now cant get it on my phone : / screw ocd, it has plagued me since i was little

We all spend hours making it look exactly the same. It's annoying but essential.

The Advanced Restore in Philz lets you restore Data. The choices are, Restore Boot, System (+or- reload) Data, Cache and sd ext. The Data restored my latest personal stuff from the BU I tried just before a new ROM experiment. So not all Restores are the same. You don't have to bring it ALL back from a nandroid.

@Journyman16
You seem to be missing my point.
If you can restore just data via recovery (which you can) then you didn't need to wipe in the first place.
ROM goes in /system. We all know that. Our apps go in /data/app. We all know that. Our data for our apps goes in /data/data but what some may NOT know is that /data/data contains all your system data too. When you set a ring tone or wallpaper, its in /data/data.
If you go from 1 ROM to another, you may not have to wipe. Or you may HAVE to wipe. It depends if there is incompatible system data in /data/data or not.
When you do wipe, you wipe /data/* (includes /data/data). If you nandroid restore /data and your phone works perfectly, you didn't need to wipe. So my point remains.
If you HAD to wipe, you cannot simply restore data via recovery and have a fully working phone.

Thanks for the explanation - that helps me understand better what goes on. Would that explain perhaps why, after some Restores, I had to run Fix Permissions to stop the FC's?

Yep, it could do.
Any updates (I am facing the same problem)?
BTW, OTA updates seem to be able to keep most if not all settings. How they manage to do this?

Same here. I've been looking for the exact method to do this, but haven't had any luck so far.
I ended up using Kies to update to 4.3 - it does not check root status.

Well, let's see... there's everyone I know that also has this phone. People online that say they have this phone. Web sites saying that this phone has officially received 4.3. The phone itself saying there is an update for the firmware. So, basically everyone/thing except the Kies program.
Who says their is an update for your phone repeat your phone not some other guys phone and as you failed to give any firmware details impossible to check .
Kies/ Samsung says not for your phone yet.
Contact your vendor .

I already told you who said there is an update for my phone. Unless my phone is disguised as some one of a kind phone, I'm supposed to be able to update to 4.3.
Ever since i tried the 20mp superior auto xposed module, my camera app force closes a lot of time. I tried to replace campea apk files, wipe cache exc exc. Upgraded to .314 now but its still FC for me.
Yeah i know a fresh flashtool install would solve this easily, but atm i dont have the time to setup every program and settings how i like again.
Any fix for this? Maybe flashable camera app?

Use titanium backup or a nandroid backup if you have a custom recovery installed. A factory reset is the best way to solve it. However u may try using other camera apps or uninstallind the xposed module (or xposed framework itself) to see if they might help.

Use Backup and Restore app to backup all apps+data then Factory Reset or Flash new FTF then restore.
Backup and Restore app is a native app to Sony Xperia Z2 devices w/o root needed.

Heu there guys, any guide/list of apps safe to be debloated on our non rooted G6?
+1!
Can't remember what thread it is but there's an app called LG package disabler that will on install show what can be disabled/debloated. I'll go back and look but I'm pretty sure they mention under read more that they'll have a listing of what's debloatable in a future update. App is 99¢ over been using icebox since it was the first sick app I came across that did this. Using it with greenify has helped with battery life for me. Not as good as root and pulling the bloat off the phone, but at least it's not eating resources of frozen

Beautiful man. Even in custom roms I can pull 100mb from the build. And this is exactly what I've been looking for. Gonna dig into it deeper later on.
Now we just need a way to install mods to the stock build. Using the dual speaker mod for example. Is there anyway anybody knows to make those changes through adb? Like this deal? (which I've yet to try admittedly) seems as if you should be able to push an apk or file to the system through adb. Can you change the name on the file mentioned using this method or something like it or is it a root only thing?
The reason I'm pushing on this is that when you take your rig to an LG tech they need some way to modify things if needed. How would they do it is my $1,000,000.00 question.
And seriously guys, if I'm posting in the wrong place let me know please. Thanks
Good find! ?

Sorry for being off-topic: jelly scrolling on OP5 cant get be fixed because its hardware related. they installed the screen the opposite way and have to turn 180 degree via software.

Factory restore should not restore them, I have not tried it though. Hard to say if OTA will or not but also shouldn't.
Updating with LG Bridge I think will restore them though.

I've tried and it doesn't uninstall, just deactivates the apps. At least in my case. The factory reset restores all the apps again.

Great, thanks guys exactly what I needed to know. Appreciate it.
adb method = disabling apps that can't be disabled/accessed via the Apps menu.
apks are still in the system; gonna need root to clear that out for real
Does this void warranty or nah? Does using ADB for things like this or Greenify void warranty? That's my only issue before trying this out
Hi,
I run the pixel 6 and I wondered if I can restore my hardware as an image? I mean, when I used the back up / restore from Google drive , I got my contacts, apps but I still need to re download my apps, choose themes, setup about security, fingerprints, schema, Google pay etc.... Is it possible to skip all those things and upload a complete back up as an image, like I do with openwrt and firmware on router?
Thank you
Short answer: No. Longer answer: You can backup apps and their settings with the likes of Swift Backup, but that requires root and the remaining stuff still needs to be set up again.
Last time I restored my phone through Google I selected to restore all apps/contacts/settings and it basically restored the phone close to 100%. What was left for me to do was minimal.

I was thinking of something else. My mistake.
edit: @james8076 Even on a full wipe / factory reset most of the settings are restored including downloaded apps from the PS, text and phone logs. What isn't restored is app data like games along with some passwords that are not saved in Google.
@vandyman I used Appdash once but unless you are rooted it will not restore app data if I recall correctly.
The whole restore process isn't as difficult as it used to be even unrooted and bl locked. I can usually do the whole thing after PS downloads the apps in about a half hour or less. But... it's still a pain no doubt about that.
