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.

Seems that my data for most of my wife's apps got corrupted somehow. All the apps are still installed, but about half wont launch. Deleting the DATA doesn't help, I must delete the application then reinstall for them to start working.
I changed the battery in my wifes phone to charge the backup, and now I got constant force closes. I deleted all those apps and reinstalled them and now those apps work. Also the touchwiz launcher lost all her icons, lost the sorting in the app drawer, and reverted back to the stock homepages. Also the newest contacts are missing, but I'm not sure if they were saved to the sim card or to the google accounts.
This is all on the stock software, no custom rom & rooted. The only thing I can think of is I converted from imnuts kernel non-voodoo to voodoo and I didn't flash the SD card fix afterwards. This was about 5 days ago... How can I stop this from happening again, I probably won't be near her to fix this the next time it happens.
I had to delete almost every app and reinstall, but everything seems better today.
It sounds like some app somewhere or some piece/step related to the kernal is your issue. I would suggest starting all the way over. Flash the stock version and fresh download all apps. This way you will not have to worry about her phone. Good luck and let everyone know if you find the bug. I just had a major bug with the new version of skype that includes video chat.

I installed the leaked skype version that works with 2.2 camera. I wonder if that could have been the cause?
Yep. Gotta reflash.

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.
I can't post to the ROM in the developers forum so I posting here. I just downgraded from GB last night and installed this ROM. I went today to update my PRL and it gets hung up after the update. When I click the OK box when done it goes to a black screen with the four bottom buttons lit. I can back out of it, but it will keep popping up telling me it is updated. Rebooted to get it to clear.
There really shouldnt be any issues with updating profile and prl, did you do a full wipe of system data and cache and also the dalvik cache?

Yes, wiped everything before installing ROM. Also having MMS issues, but that may be Sprint. SMS is fine though.

Rather than starting a new thread, I'll add on here. The lockscreen icons have disappeared. I'm sure a restore has messed it up. It shows as 0 bytes under the installed apps. Before restoring the data they were there. Any ideas short of full wipe and re-install. David wipe and install didn't fix it.
Still no SMS.
Sounds to me like you've got either a bad flash, or the device wasn't wiped proberly. Try wiping and flashing the device according to THIS guide. See if it helps your issues.

Restoring data is never a good thing and this is exactly why we try to push the issue so much with people that are new to rooting and flashing ROMS. Yes it saves you time in the short run so you don't have to re apply settings and login information and have to get to level 80 on all your games etc. Long run this is what happens system/apps start to go insane and the phone just will not act right, in this case a complete wipe and reflash is not only recommended, but needed in this case, and I hope I don't sound like a **** just wanted to be to the point you know

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?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
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.

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 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.
I just noticed that I cannot change the txt (Messaging) ringtone. It seems to be stuck on one called Pyxis. Thus far, I've cleared cache etc on app and used Titanium to restore a previous version but I might have restored the the same version from my backup... with no success.
>>(UPDATE) I just found that if I change the phone ringtone it changes the txt ringtone to the same thing but still cannot change the txt ringtone separately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi. I realize this thread is from a few weeks ago, so I don't know if you've figured it out already, but there's a few things that come to mind. First is, under "volumes" uncheck the link system and ringtone volumes". Then, under "system" look at the default notification sound... there you should be able to change the sound. I use liquid 2.10, and for me it works flawlessly. I've read a lot here about people having problems running 4.3 roms but I've been lucky I guess. Well, first time I ran into a problem as I used titanium to restore apps and data (caught in boot loop) and I was told that there's the problem with apps from 4.2 to 4.3. So after restoring my nandroid I used helium to selectively backup and restore app data, not a problem since. Also, the flash method is unusual to me. Supposed to wipe, rewipe everything, then flash the Rom, boot up, set up phone (everything but Google apps), then power off, boot back into recovery and flash gapps separately. I haven't run into anything not working. I have a different ringtone for calls and a separate sound for notifications. You probably know all this stuff already, but I'm only trying to describe what I did and how it works for me.
