Aside from the initial setup during the first boot of a clean rom install, is there a way in any ICS rom to force a Google settings restore?
By that I mean settings like wifi passwords and app settings, etc. Sure, theres Titanium backup but many times devs have said not to restore system settings this way.
Honestly, the only thing I really need it for is to restore wifi settings. I have a pretty long passphrase and being a bit of a crack flasher, it gets annoying to retype it over and over again

Does this version of Fission resolve the incoming call screen's "Answer/Ignore Call" slider issue?

Come on...it's right under Progess
"Back to SDK Dialer. Old one was causing problems and did not keep call log."
So far install and settings are all flawless as far as I can tell. Quality job!
Sound > Volume bug is fixed
Lock Timer bug is fixed
Lock button background on both password and pin is fixed
The virtual keyboard still doesnt vibrate when vibrate is checked.
Also noticed a lot of the options that were in Call Settings are now no longer there.
I'm guessing this is due to the dialer being changed out?
Other than that, so far so good!
Is it necessary to wipe data & cache, then factory reset again even if already on fission?
Would just rather not....
Keep up the good work boys!
Also you might want to re-mention about not using themes.
my gps will not work. Weather and toggle widgets, weatherbug elite , and others will not find me. Tried a reboot didn't work. Came from the beta just flashed this this morning. Followed all directions wiped twice and the factory reset anyone else having this issue or do I need to reflash.
Ps I noticed swype works in this build great work guys
Check the gps toggle again. I've had gps work with three different apps.

GPS is working fine. It's coarse location (wireless networks) that's not working for me. If I turn off GPS, I can't get a location.
To do step 15 (Perform a Factory Reset through Android - Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. Wiping Cache and Data from recovery is not enough.)
Am I suppose to reboot the system prior to this step?

It isn't possible unless you boot first, is what I figured.
"Do not perform any type of restore using any backup programs, yes this includes Titanium Pro and others!"
So this essentially renders Titanium Pro useless then? I can't restore any apps at any time from my sd card?
I followed every step precisely, including the backup and all of the cache/data clearing and android factory reset, and so far none of my market downloads have initiated. I'll get back to you on it if they do.
Not trying to *****, but I can't really give much feedback until I can see how well everything runs with my setup.

By default you'll be in USB mass storage mode if plugged in. If this is the case the market won't download. (Found this out the hard way.)
Fixed it by going to Charge-Only.
Id say u can backup/restore any market/downloaded non-system apps with titanium. Just don't restore items such as calender/email/sms/settings etc. most of these things are backed up and restored to your google account anyhow.
It would seem contact ringtones do not work
The market download on fresh boot takes awhile.. anywhere from 15min+ you can speed the process up by manual cancels and manual downloads.

I didn't have this issue
So far so good, everything works great, even facebook and twitter sync the contacts list. Very great Job.
Okay, I saw a few of the related thresds and I can't seem to get this fixed. Root Explorer does not show in my Market so I can't get that.
I can't do anything on my GTablet, it just force closes with that error right back to the home screen and then force closes again.
If I can, I'd love to not have to wipe data (or reflash either). I can't use Titantium Backup since it force closes at the home screen.
Any suggstions?

Yeah, I had the same problem on one of my two G-tablets.
I ended up being able to use Titanium Backup and wipe my contacts data tho.
I got it fixed. Clockwork Mod Recovery and its 'backups' feature is awesome.
I did have to reconfigure all my apps, though, because my backup was after I'd downloaded them but not ran them for the first time. That took awhile, but as soon as I finished I made a backup of that so I won't have to set them up again.
so you ran titanium backup and just wipe the data for the contacts app?
Thanks. I figured out how to wipe with titanium (did email contacts and settings as those gave a blank screen.. Good as new (and enhanced with the TNT enhancement pack)
Hello,
I just got a Nexus 5 phone. Following the instructions in this forum, I was able to unlock the bootloader, get a TWRP Recovery and root the phone. Everything went fine. Then it was time to transfer my apps and data from my old Sony Xperia S. With Titanium Backup Pro on both devices, I made a backup of all apps + system data. Everything ok till that too. Then I restored this backup in Nexus 5. Everything seemed fine, all of the apps were in the app drawer, the ones I opened worked just fine.
But after the first reboot, I get an annoying "Unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped working" when the home screen loads. No matter what option I choose (Ok or Report), this dialog box just pops up again and again. In the milliseconds between two of this dialog boxes, I can unlock the lockscreen and browse normally (apart from the annoying little box that pops up all the time, of course).
So, what's the best option in this case? Will the factory reset from Android itself solve it, do I need to use the Custom Recovery or can I just go straight to flashing the factory image?
Cheers,
never restore system apps or system data with titanium backup, or this will happen. you can try wiping data in your recovery, that should fix it, but it will wipe your phone clean.
You can't restore system data. You can't even do this from one rom to another let alone different phones
In titanium untick "system" in the edit filters screen.
Then go to the restore screen and select restore missing apps and data.
Then go through each one double checking there are no system apps there and if there are, untick them.
..and yes, you must factory reset now

Guess that's what happens when you trust some Lifehacker article without enough knowledge. It was the system data, then. I unticked every app I hadn't installed by myself.
Concerning the Wipe option, I understand that by wiping the phone clean, that means even the apps that came pre-installed, correct? Chrome, Google Play, the Camera app, the phone app, etc?
No just your apps and your app data and system data

Thanks a lot for the quick answers. :good:
I'll wipe the phone and get back here later to report if everything went well.
Cheers,
Updating, in case somebody goes through the same problem: the factory reset was extremely fast and solved everything. Funny thing is, when I got home and checked the phone, the angry little box wasn't showing anymore. Don't know what happened, but did the reset anyway to be sure.
Thanks again to rootSu and simms22. :good:
Just go settings /apps /all and clear data in contacts and contact storage

Hey guys,
I'm in the habit of factory resetting my phone every few months just to keep it clean of junk. Never use the backup option because I thought that it may reimport some junky files/bad settings along with all the other stuff so I start from scratch. Reinstall all apps manually, change all settings one by one, add email accounts manually just as if I was setting up a new phone.
Am I wrong in thinking that way or is the back up option totally safe from reimporting gunk back into the phone? It would certainly save me a ton of time if I used it as all my other stuff like Nova Launcher and Tasker profiles are all backed up and reimported in one step. Factory reset would be a quick thing to do.
Many thanks in advance!
Hello
After spending hours to disable unwanted notifications and all kind of ads in all the apps and phone settings, is there a way to back this setup up..
In case you have to restore the phone, it would be great and useful to have this done without going through all the settings again.
I do not like MI cloud and I disabled my account. Third party or maybe Google? but as I said more for the settings.
Thanks in advance

Google will back up your apps installed through PlayStore with their settings and will restore them. No phone settings though. Titanium Backup is another option (requires root). It can backup all system/private apps with their settings, though restoring system apps and their settings may be risky since their versions may differ from those in the ROM/Gapps that you flash.
Titanium is the go to for me.
Saving system settings on the other hand is not so simple, I've tryed several app solutions but always eventually run into problems.
Twrp is the only effective way to properly back up system settings in my experience.
