Home Key Issue - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im running 2.3.3, i can't get the home key to return me to the main screen, it currently does.
im running Stock 2.3.3 rooted OBV, am i going blind i can't see anything in the settings

Interestingly enough, I had a similar issue when I restored my backup of 2.3.1 and again when I updated it to 2.3.2 but now I'm on 2.3.3 and its gone.

Found out it was that titanium backup added system settings from 2.3.2 cm7 and this Co flicted with 2.3.è

Ah ha! That would make sense as I generally used titanium to keep my stock backups up-to-date with my apps! Well found, sir!

ROM flashing and Titanium backup - found where I went wrong

This is my first post here so it'll probably be in the wrong spot and say something everyone already knows etc etc
I recently battled through an installation of the CM-6.1.3 ROM and when i restored apps using titanium backup/restore I kept getting force closes using the camera and even when trying to choose a ringtone.
The mistake i was making is that you can't just restore all apps with titanium. Your old versions of apps will over-write the CM-6.1.3 versions and cause issues. I had to go and restore only the minimum number of my user apps making sure i wasn't over-writing an app already built into the ROM.
If this is so basic as to not be worth sharing....sorry. But I imagine a lot of noobs like me with new ROM problems could trace it back to improper titanium use?
Some things to consider:
1. What was the last ROM you backed up your apps on.
2. Did you enable application moving in CyanogenMod Application settings.

You cannot backup your apps from Android 2.1 and restore them to Android 2.2 (CM 6.1.3), the data will not be compatible. And make sure you do enable Application Moving or else you may run out of space on your phone's internal storage.

[Q] auto restore titanium backup dont work with ics what to do?

i have titanium backup pro and auto restore of app dont work with ics but with GB it working what to do so it will restore it auto??
This is what I've done:
- installed ICS upgrade over gingerbread without wiping /data
- booted ICS and made a backup of all my apps
- factory reset
- booted ICS again and restored my apps
It seems it won't restore apps backed up on gingerbread, but worked fine after upgrading to ICS
Try using mybackup app

In titanium go to settings, market tools and then run market doctor - this will reinstate the market links.

this thread should be closed. The latest TB fixes the hypershell problem and is working fine with ICS.

ICS Android4.0 doesnt restore apps

In gingerbread and froyo, there is a function that restores apps once we sign in google account in a new phone, but this is not happening in Android4.0. is that function being taken out in ICS?
It Does
I Recently Flashed The ICS Rom For My S2 And It Restored My Apps Just Fine !
Did You Have Backup My Data Checked In The Settings App On Your Old Device ?

yes, i checked it everytime i login my account, the same goes to my previous ROM. could it be 2.3 backup-to-google-server is not compatible to ICS?
even on gingerbread it didnt do it for me lol Only on my tablet it does it
I "believe" ICS doesn't restore apps from older versions of the operating system. When I got a Galaxy Nexus, it didn't restore the apps I had on my Gingerbread phone, but when I then got a Transformer Prime, it restored the apps I had on my Nexus.
Its restoring in ma CM9 ICS v1.2

My Nexus did, but ny buddys Nexus didnt
I Wouldn't Think So Because I Ran GB On My GS II Before I Flashed The ICS Rom And That Restored Apps From GB To ICS But It Didn't Work On Honeycomb Because I Bought A Xoom When It First Came Out Then Just Recently I Upgraded To A Galaxy Tab 10.1 And That Didn't Restore Any Of My Apps. It May Just Be A Bug In ICS That May Be Ironed Out Soon. Other Than That I'm Clueless
I think the critical factor is which version of the android market you used before, often when it did not restore apps (on ROM/OS switching) the android market version was different.
I wouldn't advise using the auto restore.since some users don't want the OS choosing the install paths between a2sd and internal. Also since it doesn't restore the freebies,it's extra work unless you use titanium batch mode and just pick.which apps you want with the "app only" option to avoid corruption in data. fastest way to restore all apps then you can manually check market for updates. if you don't use titanium I highly recommend as a must have paid app.saves massive amounts of time,especially if you use over 200 apps like me

Mine never does on GB...Idk why though

thats really strange, based on the replies here, not everyone with gingerbread have the auto restore functioning too. the biggest culprit could be the Android Market App, but having the latest version doesnt solve my problem either.
As for titanium backup, yes it sure handy, how about for non-root users?

What's your reasoning on this?
apps sync worked for me only if I logged into my Google account during first boot.
If I skipped adding Google account adding at first startup and added it later, it never restored my app data from Google account.

Titanium Backup
Did you restore any apps through Titanium Backup? I managed to break my wi-fi when I loaded EB 2.5 because I stupidly restored a few system apps when running a batch restore. A full wipe and reinstall and then restoring only user apps either through Titanium Backup or the Market fixed the problem. Running smooth now.

ICS clock force close

I click the analog clock. And it force closes every time. Does anyone else have this issue? I can't set my alarm or anything.

Which ICS rom are you using? I've been running the latest version of Hellfire Sandwich since Thursday and haven't had any issues so far. Did you wipe everything correctly and did you restore anything through Titanium Backup? Accidentally restoring a system file could lead to some problems.

+1 This usually is because you restored GB system data over ICS system data and that broke stuff.
