Hi,
When today, I just realised that some of the apps I installed onto my SD card (Set apps to automatically install to SD via Applications in settings) were randomly doubled.. But when I check in the installtions, it only shows it installed once.. What's wrong here? I don't want to Nandroid restore because I just added a number of contacts to my phone and I would lose them if I restore?
Also, how do I copy contacts from my phone to my SIM Card without duplicating the ones in the SIM?

Restart the launcher. Done.
How do I do that? :/

What launcher you use, they is an option to choose for restart launcher if you are using following launcher:
LauncherPro
ADW.Launcher
Zeam
Another way is goto settings -> Applications --> Manage applications and then select the launcher you use and choose Force Close.
I use the default launcher
Dw, got it but do i need to do it everytime i reboot?
When I had this problem with CM6, wiping the cache and dalvik cache in recovery did the trick.
First thing I tried. UNfortunately did not work
Yeah, I've noticed this before... something to do with the late load of SD apps... killing the launcher will resolve this... and I also noticed that after rebooting, I leave the phone for about 10-15 seconds on the lockscreen before unlocking... kinda a delay to allow all apps to load... seems to work for me!!

Unless you disabled it, your contacts are backed up to your google/gmail account and automatically restored from there if they "go missing" on your phone. Try logging into www.gmail.com with the same account you use on your phone and goto contacts or my contacts. Should be exactly what you have on your phone.

I just updated to JH7 using samsung kies and now I can't download any apps from the market. The phone is completely stock since I used Odin to flash it before the JH7 update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Had that problem before the update... Unmounted the internal SD Card, then formatted it.. wipe my music, but I was able to reload it... That fixed the whole thing... You might also try going into recovery mode and clearing the cache....
Did you use titanium backup?
I used titanium backup a while back before the Odin master clear and flash to stock stock firmware.
Just removed my sd card and downloads work again. I guess the titanium backups that I had on the sd card is causing the problem.
It seems to stop working again after I downloaded quick settings. Can't download even after reformating the sd card and taking it out. Also I can't get the e-mail app to work. It shows "checking incoming server settings" then shows the message "unable to open connection to server. Tried it with wifi and 3g.
I think this has been answered several times over the last few days. Basics are to not let ti restore anything system related, only your apps and data.
That fixes the market problem, no idea on the email but id start with that.

I didn't use titanium backup to restore anything. Just used it to uninstall the bloatware before I flashed it back to stock with Odin. So how do I fix it?
Hi,
I installed Cyanogen mod 7.1 ROM on my Wildfire Buzz. Unfortunately, i forgot to take a backup of my Messages/Contacts. I did take a backup of my original ROM though ( I mistoook this backup as the backup of all my data) called a Nandroid backup, i presume.
The problem is after the upgrade, i lost all my Apps. Now the Settings->Applications shows a blank screen. I have lost my Market icon. I am lost!!! However i backed up the contents of my SD card to my PC before starting the Cyanogen Mod process, and some of my Apps are on the SD card. I have lots of questions:
a) Is there a way to salvage my Contacts/Messages?
b) How can i restore the Apps/Games from the backed up contents of my SD card?
c) How do i get the Android Market icon?
d) Anything else i need to know post Cyanogen modding?
Please please help,
Thanks,
Regards.
first of all here are the google apps

You can try restoring your contacts by gmail contacts sync and if you had your contacts on your sim you can hit menu on the contacts menu and select import/export contacts
3rd how did you backup your apps?
Thanks...
I backed up my apps by just copying them to my PC. I know it sounds ridiculous but i honestly thought by backing up the ROM everything would be backed up. Anyway i copied them back to SD card after flashing Cyanogen. But Cyanogen refused to recognize them. Any alternatives? Also the battery life of my Wildfire has dramatically increased. It is now 3 days since i last charged my phone!!! Its incredible. Any explanations? Also what happened to some of the Settings like USB settings, Connect to PC settings etc? Any equivalents?
Thanks once again.
Was on infused for a while, decided to try MIUI. I used TiBu to save contacts/SMS (though I now realize that's probably not the best way to do it) in addition to having my contacts stored on the SIM card. Also had a CWM backup of the ROM. All went well with getting MIUI but it couldn't find the sim contacts. I can't find a way to extract the contacts out of the backup and now am getting blue CWM. Is there an easier way rather than flashing back to prior ROM after getting red CWM, saving contacts/SMS and then reflashing back to MIUI? Sorry, it just takes longer to do these things as a noob
Thanks!
I think you may have to flash back to get your contacts. More and more roms/phones are starting to not read contacts on sim cards anymore. So you may need to start backing up contacts with gmail/google.
Easiest way.
Thanks. I figured as much.
Now stuck with the new problem .. can't get out of the blue stock CWM. Applied update.zip multiple times to no avail.. not sure if I'm missing a step. Read the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881) as well as several other threads.
hmm... any ideas, please?
Step 2 reinstall packages ( do this twice, in a row )
And next time, in Contacts, press menu button on phone and export contacts to SD Card. Then use your pc and copy a set to your computer.
Then when you flash a new rom, open Contacts, press menu button on phone and import contacts from SD Card.
Today I tried to install viper rom. before I did that, I made a backup of my current axiom s rom using twrp. I also used titanium backup to move apps to sd card beforehand cuz I didn't want to reinstall everything. When installing viper I chose the full wipe option. When I rebooted I noticed that phone was stuck on an endless black screen, so I restored with my last backup. problem is now even with the backup I don't have any apps in my app drawer except stock rom apps! I installed a file explorer and noticed app data still present. my question is is there any way to restore these apps?
app icons are still on my home screen launcher bt when I press them they say "application not installed". When I try to reinstall using an apk, it asks me if I want to overwrite. This means the app is definitely still on my phone, just not accessible. Please help!

Files
For me, Trubackup scores higher because it backsup to dropbox rather than my SD, plus it lets me select the files I want to store. It has a 30 Day Trial free on googleplay, give it a whirl. Go to google play & search for turbackup and start using
Restoring problem and root.
So when i was on my galaxy s duos my device was rooted, i made some backups to my sd card, when i upgraded to the galaxy grand duos, i couldnt seem to restore anything from that sd card so then i decided to root it, now im having a problem that when i open the app, first off it doesnt ask for su permission, AND i still cant restore anything back from my sd card to the grand, im regretting using this app so much.. please if someone has a solution to this, share it with me.
I think Android Manager will meet your need. It is a management tool that can transfer files between computer and Android phone. You just need to launch it in you computer, and then connect your phone to computer. It will export files from MAC to Android and import files from Android to MAC. Just have a try! It will solve your problem.
