I've treid to flash both CM9 & CM10 and it worked, exept that ΒΌ of my apps won't start. They start for one second, and then, the show either an FC message or just close without any message. I've tried to wipe the data for some apps, but that don't change anything. The apps are restored with TitaniumBackup. I've always returned back to ViperS because of that problem, so does anybody now how to get rid of that problem and make the apps run again?

Did u flash gapps?

Some apps dont work with backup programs because they tether themselves to the device ID. That way they can't be passed around to multiple phones and have to be downloaded fresh for all users.
When you flash a new rom the device id changes, so the app thinks its on a new phone.
Titanium has an option to revert to a previous device id in the paid version.
Still, a quarter of your apps seems like alot. If you are trying to restore system apps that's a whole different issue. System apps dont transfer well.
And any sensed based apps from Viper will simply never work in CM. Ever. That is probably the bulk of your problem apps im guessing.

Yes! Gapps is flashed. I do only restore user apps .. I'll try to find the device id option and try again

Hi there,
Running Android Revolution with faux123's latest kernel and recommended radio etc.
Everything is running swimmingly except that HTC Sense occasionally closes while I'm running a program.
It doesn't ruin the phone but it's a huge inconvenience for a custom rom.
It'll also reboot sometimes but that's for another time

Clear data for sense apk in applications/ manage applications/ all apps. Reboot and see what happens. Should fix your issue
Hi.. Do you make full wipe?.. Before flash new rom..
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App
thanks rddocke, that should work, didn't occur to me :S
@mrboy I did a superwipe and dalvik/cache wipe.
And uhh, mental note for those doing the same, remember your home settings or jot them down somewhere
No problem buddy and you should only superwipe if your flashing a Rom with a different build. Like 3.0 to 3.5 or leedroid to arhd. Not necessary for updates on current Rom. I never superwipe. Don't like the hassle. But there is a program developed by..... I forget sorry!.... But it allows you to restore apps on masses rather than one by one. Which makes restoring from full wipe a lot more convenient
Oh I've got titanium backup which i think created the issue when I restored sense with the data.
My advice to anyone else is. wipe dalvik/cache when changing from same rom type and pick and choose which apps you want to restore WITH data
Hi all,
I can't post in the Desire S Development forum yet, so I might as well ask the question here.
I've been trying in vain to use CM on my Desire S (one of the major reasons why I wanted to root my phone). I'm able to use it for a while, but after a time, such as installing all my apps, it would hang on me and the only way to fix it is to remove the battery. At first, I thought it would be due to the Go Launcher EX, but it hanged when using ADW too. Then I thought that perhaps restoring the system data were the culprit, but I still got the same dilemma when I didn't. I then started restoring the apps one by one (using Titanium Backup) but it seems that it hangs at random.
I really want to use CM but I can't Has anyone encountered this problem? Anyone knows how to correct it?
Thanks in advance guys
Complete wipe all partition then reflash. Double check your phone's current HBOOT, RADIO, KERNEL if it is supported.
I have had CM7.1 working perfectly on my Desire S for weeks and I used Titanium Backup to restore previous apps and data.
The questions I would ask are which version of CM? 'Stable' or one of the nightlies? Have you formatted all your partitions to EXT4 first? What recovery are you using - shouldn't matter, but might be relevant if it's failing to write something properly. Did you verify the checksum after you downloaded CM7.1? Have you installed anything else from recovery mode afterwards, such as GAPPS? What happens if you install CM and just try running your Desire as a phone for a few days, using only the built-in apps - does it still hang?
Also, when it does hang, you are much better off trying to 'soft' kill it rather than pulling the battery if you possibly can - hold 'Vol -', 'Vol +' and 'Power' for maybe as long as 30 seconds to see if that works; pulling the battery can cause serious hardware failure.
Stable!
Nightlies are for experimentals only

well i have no issue at all.
No issues here either, also used TB to restore apps.
Don't restore any sense system apps or data, I imagine that could cause problems.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Thanks for the replies guys I'm using the ROM Manager app to dl and install CM. I always use the stable build. The recovery I use is 4ext. Kernel is stock, I think. The one that comes with the LBC mod, which is the one I'm currently using. How do I check for the radio? Oh and what radio and kernel are you guys using?
doesn't have hang issue....but my desire s did shut down by itself. It can be on again by pressing the power button but still it annoys me twice this week.
p/s : using cm7.1 stable release
BTW, here's my radio: 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M
How do I check compatibilities?
the radio perform same as in sense rom, i use radio as at my sig and its perform well.
Just an update:
I think I found the app that's making all the bollocks. I was using File Organizer to create labels and custom folders.
At first, I spend the whole time yesterday rebooting/restoring the ROM and found that problems arise when I started placing Folder Organizer widgets. Today, I restored the ROM again and instead used Go Launcher EX to create custom folders for the Home Screen. So far so good, it's just as snappy as the time I just installed CM. It's crappy that I'm no longer able to use one of the apps I paid for, but it's worth it because of all the ROMs (stock and custom) that I encountered, CM is the snappiest and the best
I'll still monitor the progress, but so far, it hasn't hang on me. Before uninstalling Folder Organizer, it would usually take around a minute before it hangs completely, and the soft reset (Power + Volume Down) doesn't work when that happens
I am curious to know what other people do to restore apps and associated data. Do you go to market and download all from "my apps" or do you restore from an app backup? Or is there a better way? Can you help a noob out?
Thanks

yes, just restore missing apps+data. thats all i do.
Sometimes restoring data will cause issues when you flash new roms and the apps might now work properly. I always just flash Apps and then take like 10 minutes to set all the apps up again to be safe after every flash.

restoring MISSING apps and data has NEVER been a problem with me. you dont even want to know how many devices i have transferred my TiBu folder to, and restoring MISSING apps and data has not caused ONE issue, as long as I didnt go crazy and NOT go through and verify i wasnt restoring something Touchwiz related on my Sense ROM, or AOSP on my Touchwiz...etc.

I agree TIBU restore apps and app data and be done. Only a few times the app data isn't restored when going from sense, touchwiz to a CM based rom but never had other issues. Flash rom the. Restore apps and data fro. TIBU pro and walk away whole it restores.
I don't bother backing up anything besides my contacts. I restore those first, connect my necessary accounts, and change whatever settings I need/want changed. Then I reinstall my apps.
Well, I agree 100% with Zel and Pirateghost there....Titanium Backup and later restore missing apps and data. As good practice, usually make nandroid back ups just in case.
The first time you flash a new rom is inevitable to sweat as a pig thinking that you will have to go back to your Motorla V3 is something goes wrong....
I don't flash as often as I used to so I use a newly flashed Rom to only reinstall the apps I actually use often. If not ill have a bunch of them I just downloaded and I'm not gonna use.
Plus reinstalling the apps myself and not titanium gives me a fresh Rom feeling lol, yea I'm weird.

I use very few apps myself, anyway, so it only takes a few minutes to set back up after a reflash. Most of those apps, I keep pretty close to default regardless. I run pretty minimal, so it's almost more trouble to take the time to keep everything backed up and organized for my devices than it is to just reinstall the apps each time I flash.
The posts here have given me a bit more to think about as far as TIBU, though, so I might take a deeper look into it soon!
Personally after flashing a rom I cook a slab of Bacon then shower. I then tibu my apps and launcher settings. You can imagine how much grease I take in while we are testing a new rom before release.
I got your 10 char right here

Thank you Bacon-Pope, your comments are (as usual) greasy, crispy, and delicious. Remember Turkey Bacon is neither turkey nor bacon.

first thing I do after flashing is check WiFi phone mobile data camera then worry any apps. but I do use titanium backup and never had a problem. maybe I'm the weird one?

a few months back i rooted and installed a rom (cyanogen9) for the first time, ive use titanium to backup my apps and setttings and seperately used myphoneexplorer to backup sms etc
im liking the look of the fallout rom, can i still easily restore apps once i switch roms?? or will the fact im changing roms cause problems?
hope that makes sense
thanks
If you use Rom Manager then you can create a backup so that if you are unhappy with the Rom you next install or just want to go back to your previous one you can easily restore the backup and it is like a system restore point on a computer so everything will be put back to how you had it.
I did this earlier to try out Fallout, love it and dont think I'll go back to my old Rom
Edit: sorry misunderstood your question, I've restored apps with titanium and had no issue at all, but those were all on Sense based roms no idea if it would create an issue from a non Sense based rom

You might tin into issues with some apps that might not be compatible with ICS. Better to try if it works for you.

In the ARHD forum a while back someone advocated the strategy of never wiping data when switching between ROMs. He said he had never wiped data, and if he ever ran into problems with an app on a new ROM he just manually cleared that app's data and everything was fine.
He boasted essentially never having to reconfigure anything on his phone, and that he has successfully retained every app, setting, and text message that he's always had every time he has flashed a new ROM.
Is it possible that this is true?
I doubt it,
I didn't wipe once and ran into so much errors that I ended up re flashing whole rom..
Honestly it doesn't take much more then 30-35 min to setup a new rom specially if you buy the titanium backup app they even have a free version of it which also works great.

well on the ARHD thread it says a wipe is optional when coming from previous versions, but personally i've only flashed it once so i can't say something about it.. however, when i do upgrade from rom's i have just flashed over it (if im switching to different rom i do a wipe) and haven't had problems, unless it says a wipe is recommended when upgrading then i just do a full wipe, and then restore the data from previous backups within 4EXT, this restores all my apps and settings i had previously.. its worked for me so far
I had once do that because i forgot to wipe the data. I forgot the rom's name but i experienced no error then i switched to Smartdroid rom

Yeah but what's the point, there are many apps out there that can back up your data to restore afterwards.
I almost lost my phone!
I flashed a custom rom in my htc.... it was a total loss.. i don't know what happened..but as soon as i locked it....it never came back.... proximity sensor flashed red light all the time.....finally, had to open the back cover to make it work and boot into recovery....
