Are you restoring the apps from Titanium Backup, or are you reinstalling them from scratch?

I'm just flashing updates over my current ROM. I've tried doing a total reset and it works until I flash an update

The update is breaking something. If you reinstalled the affected apps, it would probably fix the problem. I can't guarantee, however, that reinstalling would keep your app's data intact. It should, though.
If you use Titanium Backup (you can use the free version), after an update you can restore the affected app's data, or app+data, and it should fix the problem.
Or... don't update the ROM

Thanks!

[Q] com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly loop

New G2x owner. Flashed Weapon 3.0, followed all steps correctly. All is good...EXCEPT when I restore dialer storage with Titanium Backup to get all my SMSs. Immediately after doing this, I get the dreaded "sorry, the application com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly" message loop, over and over and over again. I thought there could be a conflict with my Google synced contacts (that TB was trying to restore contacts that were already there) but I tried restoring the dialer storage with my contacts empty, and still got the message. Only way out of it is to use CWM and try over again.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

Did that first. Restored a handful of my user apps, then began restoring system/data one by one. That's how I knew what was causing the problem.

So, any other way to restore MMSs besides TB? It's not the most important backup, but still. Mainly I'm interested in what's causing that problem to avoid more problems like that down the road.
My Backup Root. It's good for backing up contacts and sms/mms and more.

You could also try SMS Backup and restore from the Play Store. It is free. You should never restore any system apps and data when changing Roms. They don't play well together.
Or use GoSMS. Its what I use, and it gives you the option to email yourself the file. Also can make the apply backup automatically, every week or so.

Problem with updates.

I'm rooted and running the newest eclipse ROM. Im having trouble when updating apps such as gmail and such. The error code is saying that the package file was not signed correctly and that I must uninstall to configure. Doesn't work.. Any similar issues?

Sometimes if you restored apps through titanium or something similar you might just have to uninstall then reinstall through the play store. Save the data through titanium and if the new reinstall works just restore data only.

Google Play Store "No Connection"

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

So pretty much I should just do a Titanium Backup for all my apps except the Play Store, install the custom ROM, then restore the data for all my apps and hope the Play Store works?

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm now at the point where Google Drive and Google+ keep crashing too. I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

Yup. Play store worked after that, but I went ahead and still flashed a custom rom

so if anybody having this problem again
i get mine fixed by doing this :
1. Open any file explorer that have root access
2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

The host file is read-only, I can't modify it.
I too have the same issue and cannot edit the file due to read-only permissions.

[Q] Transfering app data and etc after a flash

Hi guys
I just recently updated my ROM to its newest version and I am loving it so far (Beans 19). However, I'm pretty bummed that all my existing stuff on my phone is wiped because dirty flashing isn't recommended. With that said, is there a way (aside from TiBackup) where I can save my app data and other stuff and transfer it to my updated ROM? Thanks in advanced.
I ended up using Helium (available in play store) over titanium this time. I had a problem restoring from a 4.2 rom to a 4.3 using titanium. I have both apps in the paid version.

Titanium backup should work flawlessly regardless of android version. Did you restore system apps/data? If you did then that was your problem never restore anything related to system. The only exception is maybe call logs and SMS
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
I probably did, I'm still pretty new at this. For me, after that, I went with picking app data to back up and restore for only the ones I really needed with helium. I probably could have done the same thing with titanium.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So once you factory reset and all that stuff, you re-download helium on your new rom and restore?

I recommend giving TIBU another go. Remember in TIBU system apps are marked in red and users apps are marked in white. I recommend making a fresh backup in helium just until you get used to TIBU. I'm going to write you a small guide to TIBU
1. Go to batch actions (check box in top right)
2. Scroll to the very last option and click "delete all backups". This will give us a clean slate.
3. Go back to main screen and select schedules tab.
4. Click edit on first schedule. If no scheduled are listed then create one.
4a. Change it to "Backup all user apps". This will backup your downloaded apps every time the schedule runs regardless if the apps were modified/used since the last backup.
4b. If you only want it to backup the apps that were modified since your last backup then choose "Backup new user apps & newer versions".
5. Choose a time and day for schedule. Also choose of you want to run the schedule regardless of power level (AC charging/battery, etc)
Setting up backup for SPECIFIC system data like SMS & Call Log
1. Go to the backup/Restore tab. In the top right click "Edit Filters"
2. At the bottom click "Create Label". Give it a name (e.g. Calls/SMS). Now click "Add/Remove Elements".
3. Choose Call Log and Messages (SMS/MMS). Now hit the check mark in the top right. Give it a name if you haven't yet and hit save.
4. Now go back to schedules. Create a schedule and choose "Backup all system data". Pick the filter you created and pick a time for the schedule to run.
5. Done! If you want to know how to backup your backups to online storage like Dropbox/Box/Drive. You can set it in TIBU preferences and then edit the schedules you created to save to your online system automatically.

That is what I did, but I guess I didn't have the understanding of titanium that sandman helped explain. Next time I'll back up on both and start restoring with titanium first to see if I have better luck (I have flashed roms and restored with titanium before with success so I thought it was the 4.2 to 4.3 as sometime suggested to me, but I could have made a mistake with system files that time, I'm not sure). If I fail again I'll at least have the helium to restore.

[Q] android.process.acore

I've seen this posted a few times. Tried the removing of fb, deleting data of contacts, contacts storage. Install my ROM clean.
For me it starts immediately after a restore from titanium. The restore is an app only restore, no data - and I don't restore fb or fb messenger. And I am not installing fb or fb messenger and the error keeps occurring. Also I am NOT restoring any system apps or data. Just user apps.
So my question is - is there ANY way to find out which of my restored user apps is causing the error message?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have more than 300 user apps and really don't want tontest 1 by 1.

I've tried that. Tried all the steps. EVERY time I end up having to reflash ROM, and it can be stable for 1-2 days - then itnreturns, and back at square one. And the clearing of cache just does not solve the problem. I am at a complete loss and getting extremely frustrated.
