I've been having a problem as of late and I was hoping maybe someone could offer some explanation, advice, etc.
Last Friday, after a full wipe, I flashed Liquid Gingerbread 3.0 after running 2.6 forever. I use My Backup Pro to backup and restore app data. I do not use it for anything else (no system data, etc.). I installed all my Apps from apks I had, then restored app data with My Backup Pro.
I then proceeded to move apps to sd with Apps2sd like I usually do. Everything seemed to be okay until I noticed a while later that apps moved to the card started disappearing, but the app data was remaining on the sd and the coms were still listed as installed. I uninstalled Apps2sd and reinstalled the apps, noticing that large apps (10 + mb) were installing directly to the sd. I checked the settings and made sure internal was set for app installations and tried again. Large apps were still installing directly to the sd.
Thinking that maybe I didn't wipe properly (lol) I did another full wipe (system, data, cache, davlik) and reflashed LGB 3.0. I did the same process as above with installing and restoring app data. I rebooted my phone to find that large Apps were still installing directly to the sd, and still disappearing and still leaving behind data on the sd.
I thought it was a ROM issue at this point so I did another full wipe and flashed iBolt 0.9. Still having the same problem so I know it's my phone.
I have a few ideas of what is happening but I don't know how to fix it. Is there something on my sd card that is affecting the way apps are installed? Is there a cm7 setting I'm missing somewhere that is affecting it? Are my wipes somehow leaving behind remnants? I know this is long but I was trying to be as specific as possible in hopes of some feedback. If someone has any ideas as to what is happening I'll try anything to see if it fixes it.
My apologies if there is a thread about this already here but Tapatalk search is seriously lacking.

The problem is below you. Lock your apps or DC will take your apps 2 !!

Hey I think when I 1st jailbroke it, I stayed with the tmobile package (But least have root now)
I saw the new multi touch etc. 1st off, wouldnt I lose the tmobile extras? Next, which Im wondering about.. I got alot of things downloaded. Do you really gotta wipe everytime or is it only going to 1.3 the 1st time or how does that work? Was tedious the 1st time I redid it after I jailbroke it.
Just trying to see if I really need to switch over to the new package people seem to be going after. Thanks. -)
What firmware do you have on your phone now?
Updating from 1.3 -> 1.41 should not require a wipe, but it did for me.
If you want to save your apps, do the Move apps to SDcard procedure.
Once your apps are all moved to the sd card, you can do the update and wipe if necessary.
If you updated without having to wipe, then your apps will still be there.
If you updated with having to wipe, you will have to redo the Move apps to SDCard procedure and all your apps will reappear without you having to redownload them.

Yeah, you typically "shouldn't" have to update, if you stay on the same build. But doing things like themes or moving the apps/cache to the sdcard will probably make it more likely that you will have to wipe. It's *always* wise to make a backup before updating, and to know how to restore the backup before you do the update
I was wondering why I needed a wipe. xD
I moved my apps and I had a theme.
Well phone shows me at firmware 1.0 with the modified TC30 that has the T-Mobiles build.
Lol. I was a bit confused by the Tc30 thing, cuz there is no such thing, but I saw your signature and now I understand.
Updating to 1.41 will not require wiping, theoretically.
All your apps should stay put, and regardless of wiping, you will still have all the tmobile "extras".
So it is in your best interests to upgrade since you are already running v1.3/1.31.

Help...no matter which rom i try i cant get any downloads to work...sorry, let me clarify...my market downloads work fine but any downloads form the web fail.
Any thoughts on what to change to fix this? it wasnt always this way...i dont know whats changed that crosses roms.
Solved:
It appears two be a two part issue, some of it is the Download Manager and at least part of the issue was with the Calibre App i was trying to DL from. Specifically, I was accessing the Calibre net share component. When a password is set on the share the gtab download manager is unable to correctly request downloads. I removed the uid/pwd and downloads work again. With the uid/pwd in place logs show an http 401 error.
Now to determine why...
In recovery are you wiping everything? Cause that was my issue at first and I was crossing roms lol

When you say you wiped cache and stuff, did you wipe user data as well? If so, then that would explain why Titanium can't see your previous backup (It stores it in internal storage by default).
If that is the case, and you have wiped the data partition, your best bet would be to start over and reload your ROM from scratch.

As long as Darkeyce didn't perform a NVIDIA flash or repartition the drive, the backup data should still be there. I've loaded many custom roms by wiping cache and data (factory reset), and all I had to do was reinstall Titanium Backup and restore my apps.
I had the same problem yesterday on my Vegan GTab. GMail wouldn't work either, and my Nook app wouldn't sync with my online account. I didn't try any fix but after shutting down the device last night, I fired it up this morning and everything was working fine.

Fixed the TB issues...that was related to the Keramides file...deleted it and all teh TG data came back...but i STIll have the download issue.
All the cache wipes were done, including the user data but that didnt impact the backups.
I'm on an OG Droid and am currently using CM7 RC4. I'm very happy with this rom, but I have been having issue after issue, no matter what rom I'm using.
I'd like to start fresh, clear my SD card, clear all app data, etc. and then reinstall my apps manually. I'm hoping that this will remove the possibility of something being corrupted or lingering on the card and affecting the current rom. So, I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they have been stable running GB on a Droid with CM7? I'm running LauncherPro, Lookout, Tasker and AlarmDroid, and they all seem to be fighting for memory and not able to work properly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So far, I have:
Made Titanium backups
Made rom backups
Made a copy of my SD card
Erased SD card using the option under Settings...Storage
Copied the CM rom back to the SD card
Copied the clockworkmod directory back to the SD card
Also, I have a bunch of apps installed, and don't want them all reinstalled after I flash. Do I need to manually uninstall all of the apps I don't want upon boot, or is there an easier way to keep them from syncing?
I'm getting ready to flash the rom. I know I need to wipe data and wipe cache. What else?
So, I recently flashed a new ROM and started to experience this problem
As I was syncing my apps back from Titanium, I rebooted my phone and I noticed that every app that was originally saved to phone storage seemed to have disappeared.
A closer look into Manage Applications showed all those apps in a "com..." format. I even took an app that was saved to the SD card that worked and moved it to phone storage. After a reboot, the app had also disappeared and changed to the above format. I even tried to uninstall these apps and reinstall via the market and when i rebooted again, the app was gone and back to the above format.
I've even tried to do a complete clean reinstallation of the ROM using the cleanest stock method possible and it worked to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Seems like a bad flash. Try flashing clean again. Try installing a couple of apps from market, and reboot and see if they are still there.

I used this in order to cleanly install the ROM twice with same problem. I uninstalled some of the apps in the "com" format and installed them from the market and when i rebooted the apps were gone, back into the same format as before
Hello ... I did something incredibly stupid and am on here as a last resort for help.
Have a rooted (but still locked) TF300t on Jelly bean 4.2.1. Using Titanium Pro. Did a backup apps + data a few hours ago. Had been downloading a lot of apps lately, tablet was feeling sluggish, decided to do a cold boot. Got distracted by somebody talking to me, didn't notice that instead of selecting the little green android to reboot, I selected "wipe data". Brilliant, I know.
So I downloaded Titanium from Play again, and tried to do a restore. But there doesn't appear to be anything for it to restore. The Titanium folder on my microSD just has a small XML file in it.
So... is there any chance of getting my apps and data back? Or is it all totally wiped and unrecoverable? And even with OTA Rootkeeper, have I lost root (I assume, since SuperSU is gone too)? Any advice welcome.
Also - any tips to use Titanium more effectively so that next time I do something this dumb, I can actually restore?
Ok - so my initial fear that the wipe data had somehow wiped my microSD is totally off the mark.
It looks like when I copied the Titanium backup from internal to microSD, there was an error and it didn't actually copy. It was confusing at first since I have nothing else stored on my microSD so it looked like it had been wiped except for the titanium licence xml file.
So - anybody have any ideas other than going to Google Play and re-downloading every app and saying goodbye to all of my previous data?
