Basically, I just flashed my HTC Desire for the first time with a custom rom (Oxygen 1.0.4). Following some guides and what not. I backed up my phone pre-flash with Nandroid etc.
I also used Titanium Backup (free), to backup all my apps and importantly my sms/contacts/ After flashing, I go to restore everything with Titanium Backup and everything restores but my sms's and contacts. I have call logs etc. But none of the important things, other than APN's.
I googled around and seen you have to restore some of the required green options from the batch list manually. Which I've did. I rebooted my phone and still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong, or am I simply out of luck and have lost my contacts/sms's?
Just an update. I managed to get my contacts back, thankfully. And am now what I believe to be syncing with google.
While thankfully I made a backup of my texts with SMSBackup as well. So restored the 10000 odd texts I have.
I have always tried to stay in the habit of adding new contacts to my google sync account for just this reason lol
I froze myaccount and wifi calling with TB but they still appear under running apps. I did it again and rebooted but they still appear under running apps...why?

try this
MAKE BACKUP IN NVFLASHED CWM BOOT UP FIRST!
heres how i solved this problem on 5 g2x phones.
for my account there are 2 copies on phone usually. one you wont see in app drawer. its version 1.0 and it is used so tmobile can remote access your device to troubleshoot. its supposed to be a brand new thing they are trying out (the was told to me by tmobile pda tech support). you will see it in titanium backup next to the other one (my first g2x had both installed, the others had the only version 1.0 installed and not 5.** with it). you may not have 5.** depending.
wifi calling seems to be very intergrated into the phone and it will run even if frozen. though it may not activate, just run in the background. with the new titanium backup 3.8.* you can backup system .apks and not just data. i backed up my account, then froze, uninstalled it (or both depending on if you have both), the after i restarted titanium backup and froze wificalling. then backed it up. after i uninstalled it (THIS WILL CAUSE IT TO FORCE CLOSE/CRASH PHONE). i was able to barely press power off option after holding power button down and tapping quickly/timed between force close windows (LOL). but you may just have to pull the battery.
after reboot, no more wificalling or my account. plus they are backed up with .apks and data as system files in titanium backup if you want to reinstall
reinstalling wificalling also caused same force close problem i think? just reboot after. also i rebooted into CWM after making sure everything booted and worked right and then i went to advanced and fixed permissions.
ive done this on 5 tmobile g2x phones and it worked every time
I haven't flashed cwm yet because there isn't a stable rom, plus I'm still a newbie and want to be sure I know what I'm doing before flashing.
I do have two myaccount's also (both frozen)...
As soon as I flash cwm I'll try that out...thanks bud!

Hi, I've had a weird problem where Go SMS Pro seems to have disappeared from my phone. I clicked the icon for it on my LauncherPro dock last night only for it to tell me "could not launch the requested activity." I looked in my app drawer and lo and behold, Go SMS Pro was gone! I tried reinstalling it from the market but once it finished downloading nothing happened, and when I tried restoring it from titanium backup it made my phone reboot. Using root explorer, I found that the app still had data on my phone in several directories, but according to Android the app is not installed at all (so I can't uninstall to remove all that data and start fresh).
What I think may have caused the problem is that I used Apps2SD to move Go SMS Pro to my phone so that I could get the widget to work properly. Could something have been corrupted that way? Also I flashed Infused v1.5.0 yesterday, but I don't think that's the problem; I wiped data and cache, although maybe restoring the app+data from TiBu after flashing messed something up. I didn't have any problems until after I moved it with Apps2SD though.
Basically I want to be able to use Go SMS again (I prefer it to the stock messaging app), so I figure I have to delete all the old data from it from my phone. If anyone with a better working knowledge than me of Android's infrastructure could help me figure out which directories I need to delete data from if I want to be able to do a clean reinstall, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
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.
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.
