When I get a call it buzzes once, but my screen stays black. Then I lose my connection completely and have a missed call. I was on Infused 2.0.1, but decided to just wipe my phone to try to fix it and upgraded to 2.0.2 (full wipe/install). Also using whatever kernels come with it. It works after wipe, but doing a titanium restore breaks it. Any idea what I should not be restoring to keep it working?
Make sure not to restore any system data using tibu, this will mess things up. Might be a good opportunity to go back to stock then infused 1.5 until things settle down with V2. Thats what I'm doing because my call quality, (and of course data speed) went south on me with V2.

+1, v2 sounds like it's still in Beta. I've opted to stay on the latest v1. As for Titanium backup, the idea is to only restore "missing apps". The other option is "missing apps + data", but I've experienced issues that I believe are tied with this option. Nothing to lose in trying it though.
Like others have suggested, never restore any system data. I personally suggest only backing up your apps with TB and not even bothering with system data.
Along the same lines, I would selectively choose which apps that you have the necessity of retaining your previous data with. I know it sucks in some situations to lose data, but it's just something to consider.
From past experience, I've never had a problem restore apps+data, but restoring system data has a tendency to cause a lot of corruption.

Will be detrimental to use mybackup to restore apps and data?
Probably. I don't know exactly how it works as I've never used it, but it may try to put some data into dbdata, where the inspire would need it in /data/data/databases. It's bad enough restoring stuff from Rom to Rom on the same phone, let along restoring from a completely different phone.
Worst case scenario though you'll have to wipe data.
Apps are usually saved with your gmail account/market account and auto synced.
You can also transfer your SMS/MMS and other items via Bluetooth, its in the settings through the Inspire. Not sure if this option is still available if you root it, but I know stock sense UI 2.2 has this available to use.
Hey all.
So, I got GB working the other day, but realized that my phone couldn't receive any calls. It was only able to call out. This is all regular calling. Everything else was working perfectly fine.
My screen would black out with the exception of my notifications bar and I would see the phone logo at the top left hand corner. In addition, I get a force close vibrate afterwards. After all this, my phone just displays the call as a missed call. On the caller's end, it's just two rings then getting disconnected, no voicemail.
I'm thinking that this probably happened from advance restoring my ICBINB KD1 data on ICBINB KH1.
Theory #1: The phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk on KD1 (in general) was probably incompatible with KH1.
Theory #2: The phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk were incompatible, because the custom dialer from the theme does not work with KH1.
Theory #2 sounds the most reasonable, since the stock dialer for KD1 looks almost exactly the same. Please let me know what you guys think on this topic. I really wanna go back to GB, but I literally stayed up til 10 AM last night trying to fix this problem.

no theres no therois here u cannot restore frayo data on top of gingerbread they dont work they use diffrent libraries diffrent dex files diffrent extentons for alot of diffrent things. I could go on and on but ummm yaaa i think u get the idea
Was just wondering about this after I ODIN'd the leaked KG4 ROM. I don't know a lot about how Titanium Backup works, but would it be advisable to restore data from TB backups made on Froyo to a phone flashed with Gingerbread?
BTW, the XDA and RW communities are amazing with the devs that publish their hard work and are willing to put up with noobs like us. Thanks to all the devs and mods and other folks that are helping out here. This is my first post, so I wanted to say thanks.

I think regular files, such as games and everything, are fine. Everything worked well for me on GB except for receiving calls. Maybe one of our developers can shed some more light on this though.
yoh same thing happened to me
... try disabling tegrak for a while.. see how it works.. if not.. factory reset. =(( pretty sure its d low oc settings with conservative is d one causing it..

Anyone figure this out? Is it really impossible to use a froyo backup? When I do everything works except for this missed call issue. So damn frustrating. I would just use Titanium but I sorta forgot to back it up so my nand is more recent. As always any help will be greatly appreciated.

you cannot it wont work u can restore app + data but not system files not dialers from frayo to gb that stuff does not work period...
Thanks raver
Should of been more clear. It's the stock dialer on kh2. I got kh2 ext4 all the way. I advance restore data only and bam missed calls. Phone rings twice screen goes black buttons light up after two seconds screen comes back with a missed call icon in status bar. Just drops on the other end does not go to voicemail. Factory reset phone receives calls fine. Got me stumped! That happening on you're GB audiophile build cause if not I'll switch right now. Was just waiting for it to come out of ALPHA.
Thanks
As RaverX3X and I have been saying, advance restoring Froyo data onto a GB ROM WILL cause your phone to be unable to receive calls!
Your only option atm seems to create a backup with Titanium on Froyo and restore once you're on GB. If you didn't do that, restore your most recent NAND and use Titanium to backup.
I've done that and everything is working perfectly fine for me now.

By restore once you're on froyo I hope you mean GB. So I used Titanium to restore a batch op of "Restore all apps with data" restored fine and you guessed it still bouncing the call.
What option did you use for restoring from titanium?
Thanks
are you restoring wifi calling?
I would use titanium only to restore non system apps and only data for system apps.

Sorry, I meant to say backing up all apps on Froyo and restoring once you're on GB. I'll edit that post. I used a batch backup of all user apps and a batch restore of all apps with data.
Did you do a completely clean flash again? Clean flash as in:
1) Odin to RaverX3X's KC1
2) Odin any GB Leak
3) Odin drhonk's KG4 Kernel
4) Flash GB ROM
5) Turn on ext4
6) Restore backups.
Just a note for those who didn't see other threads: this isn't the whole flashing process. I just kept it short for general purposes.
Sounds like we're doing the same thing but for some reason mine ain't working. Anyway just switched over to Audiophile FTW. Too tired to play with it now I'll try titanium again in the morn and we'll see if it works. On a side note Audiophile is FAST stock.
Ok so got it to work.
Instead of "Restore all apps with data" which forced me to have the missed call issue I "Restored missing apps with data" and everything is fine. Lost some wallpapers and settings in contacts but such is life.
You guys where right Froyo systems don't play nice with GB.
Thanks
You may be able to get away with restoring just the data for those system apps. Contacts,mms,etc. Just don't restore the app, only restore the data.

So I just installed TweakStock and I would comment on how awesome it is but I'm more concerned about the fact that Titanium won't restore the data for my Go SMS Pro/PowerAmp(so i lost all my texts and my music playlists). The weird thing is, it restored data for most apps but theres a select few that just wont restore. It's become very problematic and I'm hoping it's not just me.
I'm not familiar with Go SMS Pro, but if it's like ChompSMS and some other replacement apps, it still uses the phone's built in SMS database, and not its own. If so, SMS data is not backed up with app data. Chomp has a backup function of its own. Go may have something similar.

Still isnt explaining why PowerAmp wasnt backed up :/
Did you back up all before flashing?

Yeh, I chose the option to back up all apps with modified data. If you check the date the last backup was made it says 12/25/11 so I'm sure everything was backed up correctly but it just doesn't want to restore the data :[
Try flashing a different rom and seeing if it does the same thing. If it does, it just didn't back up your data.

ill try that...
So I tried flashing TweakStock in Odin this time(originally did it with CWM, coming from Infinity) and it didnt work, my messages/playlists still wouldnt restore... So I flashed back to the original ROM i was on, EXT4 non-TSM Infinity and alas, to no avail. I tried 3 different versions of Titanium Backup, all 3 with and without Pro just to be sure(there were problems with Pro on Infinity), i tried restoring it manually and i tried batch restoring and of course i can't get my messages back. That's the biggest loss, I had thousands of text messages that are apparently gone forever. Makes me want to throw this phone at a wall :/ oh well

Did you make a CWM backup before you flashed Tweakstock? I suspect it may be too late for the text messages. You may want to try to install Go SMS on a blank ROM, send some texts, manually create a backup with Titanium, flash a blank ROM, and try to manually restore the backup to see if it is even possible using Titanium. My standard procedure to to create a backup in CWM before change ROMs. I use version 4.0.1.4. I know there are several apps that can back up texts. I suggest trying to use one to see if it is capable of backing up texts from Go SMS if you find that Titanium is not capable of backing up the texts.
Sorry to hear about the restore issues. There have been one or two instances reported where titanium backup didnt play nice when restoring certain apps data. At this point it seems as if it's a TiBu issue - I've even had problems with restoring app data on stock ep4d. If there is app data I'm interested in keeping, I've found more success with doing a CWM backup prior to flashing and then using the advanced restore > data feature.
I have Titanium Backup pro and am unable to restore apps. It scrolls across but does not actually install any of my apps. I have had the issue across 2 different Charges and 3 different roms.
Not sure what causes it, but the only way I have been able to resolve is by going back to the old manual install option that makes you confirm each APK before installing.

This ^^
When I first switched from froyo to gingerbread (I think I didn't switch until EP3H) thats what I had to do. The batch restore would sort of work on some apps, but it would often freeze up while doing so and require a restart to the process. I have become lazy since then and tend to cwm advanced restore data, especially if Im switching around on things using the same base build.
since when does TB back up text messages? I have never seen it
For whats it's worth I had no problems restoring all data with tweakstock and tb.
I've had no problems either. I had issues with EP3, and I had issues with Infinity, but not with stock EP4 or TweakStock

Not with the stock messaging app. It MAY back up if you use a 3rd party app if messages are saved as app data.
I had this problem several times (TiBu just breezing through the restore without actually restoring). Usually, I updated SU, then restarted my phone, then trying again. Maybe you could try flashing imoseyon's kernel, installing better busybox (Terminal -> su -> install_bb), etc and trying again. I always get it to work eventually.

I don't use a 3rd party sms/mms and I always get mine back. I make sure to backup and restore [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and [SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging.

I back up the Dialer Storage every time, and that takes care of my messages (both text and MMS). I haven't backed up (or noticed, for that matter) the Messaging item. I'll try backing that up as well and see what else it gets me.
One other thing I have used is a program called SMS Backup & Restore (from the market). This worked well, although it can't back up your MMS messages. If you're the kind that likes to see your call history as well, they also have a sister program that will back up your entire call log.
I would still prefer to have Titanium back up my messages, not just because of the added MMS backups, but because the backup and restore become part of your batch process.
My phone is rooted, on jellybean (CyanogenMod 10). I always do a fresh wipe on my phone before installing a new rom and kernel. The weird issue I come across is sometimes after you finish the first setup steps, all the apps start restoring by themselves in Google Play, but other times I have to download System Tuner and restore all the apps I backed up. A few times also after wiping my phone and setting it up again, the apps complete settings were backed up and the login information is already filled out and my preferred settings.
Bump.
There's a feature built-in (available in the settings) where the apps & settings are backed up to Google's servers. I'm not sure exactly how much data is backed up, but, obviously, sideloaded apps & their data are not backed up. Personally, I've never flashed a new ROM & had my stuff magically restored before my eyes, but I suspect that if you waited long enough, the restore would take place.
The closest I've had is when I did a dirty flash & didn't clear my dalvik cache. Strange things can happen, then.
Yes in Google play there is a setting to restore apps automatically. For some reason it is intermittent on when it chooses to work. If your looking for a way to backup and restore your apps I would use titanium backup. It works great.

Hello all,
I've ran into a circle of issues. I'm rooted, have touch CWM (can't remember the exact version) and had SynergyROM installed. I downloaded PowerAMP. Some people may stop me there and tell me that's the problem. During the Aroma installation, I must have ticked the option that optimizes apps and causes a long first boot. After researching this issue, I have found is a bad thing to do. I don't know why I would have chosen that option but this is the end of the path that I've come to.
What happened was PowerAMP was stuck on installing. So I attempted to find it and cancel it or uninstall, but it was no where on my phone, not in the notification bar, and was stuck on installing in the market.
So, I go about my business on my phone and it suddenly shuts down. I start it up, and it boots normally until it gets to "Optimizing app 1 of 1". I let it sit for about 30 minutes before I pulled the battery. I performed a nandroid backup, rebooted, same issue. I researched the issue and found people reporting success after wiping the cache and dalvik cache, so i did so. Now it reported "Optimizing apps 1 of 250" and went fine until it got stuck at 250. I let it sit for an hour before I pulled the battery again. I wiped data/cache/dalvik and reflashed a clean SynergyROM, the phone was working perfect. Then attempted restoring the backup, but still got the same issue.
I found a new ROM like I had been planning on doing since my phone was wiped anyway, and download Nandroid Manager to extract the data from my apps as I had read in the past was possible. Upon exploring the backup, I noticed the month and date were correct, but the year was 1980. There is NO data, in the data/data area except com.android, com.samsung and com.verizon packages.
Am I missing something? Why is all the .apk information in the ext4.tar but NONE of my app data remains? Am I screwed? I had an older backup from January in which I found the same apps with older data and that restored fine. I have Expense Manager, for example, and I started using it in the last week of January. Once I setup my budget I backed up. Since then, I've entered in all of my income and expenses and was planning to backup before the PowerAMP issue. Everything was working smooth, no tweaks made to the ROM, no issues whatsoever until now. So I can only restore data from the old backup and not the latest one.
Thank you so much in advance.
P.S.: Extra question, but not nearly as important - I can't seem to find a consistent answer. When performing a nandroid recovery, from say, in this case SynergyROM, does it matter what ROM I've flashed? Doesn't the nandroid recovery basically wipe the slate clean and lay everything back out just like you would do when replacing carpet, or a bandaid? Just a curiosity.
EDIT: I just discovered Titanium PRO can extract. Bought it. Tried it. Expense Manager crashes. Now, unless Expense Manager is installed, it doesn't even show up in extraction.
I have another idea - is there a way to EDIT a nandroid backup? For instance, can I REMOVE PowerAMP from the nandroid backup and restore through CWM without having to go through all of this? If it was just one app I wouldn't care but..I have at least 15 different apps with a couple months worth of data :/ My fault for sure..but I still harbor faith in this community nonetheless.

EDIT 2: PROBLEM SOLVED! Woo hoo! For anyone with a similar issue, I suppose I was just too frustrated to realize all courses of action. So this is the sequence in which I got the data back:
1: Installed updated app straight from the market, made sure it was closed and not in memory
2: Opened Titanium PRO and selected the nandroid backup
3: Recovered DATA ONLY
4: Opened app
5: Danced.
Hopefully this helps anyone with this similar issue.
