Help no phone app after flashing - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I loaded team wiskeys rom and everything worked great. Then I tried to restore only data from my backup and now whenever I try to launch the phone it says app is not installed on your phone. I have no contacts etiher. Also when I try to sync only contacts with Gmail it falls. Facebook & Gmail sync still work but contacts won't. I'm coming from cm7 and wanted to try this rom for a few days. Like I said everything works fine until I restore the data part of my backup. Any suggestions?

Nandroid restore breaks gmail sync?

Has anyone done a nandroid restore on their ns4g? I did it yesterday and a known functional backup had all kinds of problems with gmail sync -- couldn't send gmail from phone, messages deleted on phone weren't being deleted on server, unread count was off. Had to wipe user data and use titanium to restore apps and data.
Anyway wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if its an issue with cwm on our devices.
Btw was using the stock rooted rom and stock kernel.

Usually for that you just have to go to Menu >Manage apps > Gmail > Clear data. For next time.

Rooting my sisters phone

Hey guys I own a g2x and have it rooted and roms and such so I am comfortable with flashing recovery and roms but she is not rooted right now so how can I back up her contacts and apps. will titanium backup still work? Thanks

Contacts should be stored on the gmail account. If not then do that first.
To backup apps use a program called backup program and restore. Does not require root.
Also apps do backup on the Google account as well.

auto download apps?

just went back to stock ICS but on CWM and rooted of course but is there anyway to have the play store auto download apps like i do when I flash a new rom?
Auto download updates of apps is a playstore feature u just have to open playsore and go into settings. Does not matter if ur on stock or a rom

If its for reinstalling the apps u had no most use third party apps like tibu, though if u go to my apps in the play store and slide over u can see all the apps u have downloaded before

I believe if u factory reset within the settings and reboot once u get the welcome screen to set up ur fone once u log into ur gmail acct u get the option to keep keep ur apps back up to the device if its checked ur apps will start downloading automatically. Worked for me everytime

Works on other roms with no issues but on stock ICS for me I flashed back using odin rooted added in recovery factory reset and booted up asked me the usual stuff and then I waited. Nothing ever happened fixed permissions using ROM manager and nothing rebooted factory reset again and once again nothing. Ug wish it was more consistent

you only have to log into your google accounts once. One log in and everything else works. At least thats how its always been. Even on other roms I just log in on first boot and connect to wifi and watch the downloads
This has only ever happened to me a few times and its when I'm on a ROM like aokp/cm.

Huge problem with Google Apps

Gmail is not syncing, calendar is not syncing, play store says server error, Google+ is crashing, Google drive work, this started today, I've done everything and nothing seems to work, I reflashed the gapps, reflashed my rom, (cm10), turned sync on and off, went to a nandroid backup from a week ago, and nothing solves the problem, any idea of what is happening? Thanks

Why don't you post this on your device forum and not on the General forum?

Something similar happened on my old phone, if I remember correctly, I would go in and clear data for the Google services framework. Dunno if it will help in your case but it did for me.

weird. SMS back up and restore isn't working for me...
SMS Backup+ is a quite slow to backup so i'm still waiting to see if that work.
Titaniun Backup isn't working either.
Any other options guys?
did you use the latest version of sms backup and restore? cos it didn't work for me then they updated it and worked fine.

Yes SMS Backup and Restore worked great. Thanks folks:good:
