In gingerbread and froyo, there is a function that restores apps once we sign in google account in a new phone, but this is not happening in Android4.0. is that function being taken out in ICS?
It Does
I Recently Flashed The ICS Rom For My S2 And It Restored My Apps Just Fine !
Did You Have Backup My Data Checked In The Settings App On Your Old Device ?

yes, i checked it everytime i login my account, the same goes to my previous ROM. could it be 2.3 backup-to-google-server is not compatible to ICS?
even on gingerbread it didnt do it for me lol Only on my tablet it does it
I "believe" ICS doesn't restore apps from older versions of the operating system. When I got a Galaxy Nexus, it didn't restore the apps I had on my Gingerbread phone, but when I then got a Transformer Prime, it restored the apps I had on my Nexus.
Its restoring in ma CM9 ICS v1.2

My Nexus did, but ny buddys Nexus didnt
I Wouldn't Think So Because I Ran GB On My GS II Before I Flashed The ICS Rom And That Restored Apps From GB To ICS But It Didn't Work On Honeycomb Because I Bought A Xoom When It First Came Out Then Just Recently I Upgraded To A Galaxy Tab 10.1 And That Didn't Restore Any Of My Apps. It May Just Be A Bug In ICS That May Be Ironed Out Soon. Other Than That I'm Clueless
I think the critical factor is which version of the android market you used before, often when it did not restore apps (on ROM/OS switching) the android market version was different.
I wouldn't advise using the auto restore.since some users don't want the OS choosing the install paths between a2sd and internal. Also since it doesn't restore the freebies,it's extra work unless you use titanium batch mode and just pick.which apps you want with the "app only" option to avoid corruption in data. fastest way to restore all apps then you can manually check market for updates. if you don't use titanium I highly recommend as a must have paid app.saves massive amounts of time,especially if you use over 200 apps like me

Mine never does on GB...Idk why though

thats really strange, based on the replies here, not everyone with gingerbread have the auto restore functioning too. the biggest culprit could be the Android Market App, but having the latest version doesnt solve my problem either.
As for titanium backup, yes it sure handy, how about for non-root users?

What's your reasoning on this?
apps sync worked for me only if I logged into my Google account during first boot.
If I skipped adding Google account adding at first startup and added it later, it never restored my app data from Google account.

Just upgraded from the Infuse and HOLY CRAP what a difference. The Infuse, in some ways was really a misstep for Sammy. Hardware just didn't really work well. Anyway...
Looking through ROMs I was hoping to find a stock ICS where someone had pulled out the bloat. I didn't see it, but I may have missed it.
Thanks, and glad to have switched forums! Ha.

Check out mohans embryo It is a stock based rom that is properly tweaked the way it should have been. Its up to 5.3.

Agreed - it's a good ROM if you are looking for something close to stock with options. Only a few small issues of stability so far.
Root the stock ROM then debloat (disable apps first) yourself
would agree about embryo. stock, debloated.. unless you choose to add it. he built in a nice rom customizer as well. personally, didnt have any problems with it.

Just root and install Titanium Backup. There should be a freeze list in one of the stickies. You do not have to install a different rom at all.
I recommend that you just freeze the apps. If you uninstall them, you will have to reflash your phone with the stock rom if you want to send to Sammy or take it back to AT&T...
You can also just make a complete TiBU of the entire phone and save on your computer then restore them when you want to get rid of the phone in a legit way...

No need for a titanium backup or anything...I just disable an app (like yahoo finance or whatever crap) from all apps section in settings ..then I delete the .apk file from /system/app (and the .odex if the rom is not deodexed)..After any debloat you will have to flash the whole stock rom anyway if you get a big system problem (or restore a nandroid if you made a backup .. Which I hugely advice to do before messing with the phone)
I just followed the excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 to flash the new J1 leak using the no data wipe Odin method. I was coming from stock rooted and unlocked ICS G1 build that came pre installed on my phone. I haven't flashed any other roms on this phone. Everything went fine with the flash and installing the recovery rooting and unlocking. Everything seems to work on the rom except my T9 trace and predictive text is broken on the Samsung keyboard. The Swype keyboard works fine and I installed the leaked 4.2 keyboard which also works. I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else or if there was any solution. I have tried wiping data in the keyboard app as well as clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery, but no change. I would have posted this in the above development thread, but am currently unable to due to post limits.
It would have been moved. Never know post a thread like this in development. My advice is use a different keyboard such as swype or a free jelly bean one from the market. The Samsung one blows anyways

I mean I would have posted it in the relevant thread not as a new topic. Appreciate your input.
One thing I've noticed when using Swype with the J1 leak is thatautospacingdoesn'tseamtowork. itjustkeepsgoingwithoutanyspaces.
I'm using the leaked 4.2 keyboard and it works much better. I just wish the key buttons were larger like on the Swype keyboard. The Samsung keyboard is horrible. Very small keys.

Does your T9 trace work on the Samsung keyboard? My Swype is also not spacing appropriately.

No, the T9 trace on the Samsung Keyboard is broke as well. This, plus the Paste bug makes me think the J1 build will not be the final OTA.

You are correct. The original thread by open1your1eyes0 has confirmed that there will be at least one more build to come. There is also another poster in that thread confirming the Samsung T9 trace isn't working.

I was running synergy and had this problem with samsung keyboard. Started using the android 4.2 one and predictive text and spelling correction work with that keyboard.
After factory resetting, formatting system and installing clean rom 4.5 the samsung keyboard seems to be working. Not really sure why there are problems with the samsung keyboard, maybe it had something to do with the rom?

I just used the method in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 to reflash J1 using the no data wipe version and now the T9 trace and predictive text is working again. The only difference is now I have SuperSU instead of SuperUser but everything seems to be working. The phone is still unlocked and after resetting the flash counter with TriangleAway after the other method, the flash counter didn't trip. I used ROM Manager to install CWM recovery instead of TWRP.
Has anyone tried it? I read that 4.2 keybaord is better than swype. I can't wait to try it out. If no one has flashed gapps already, I could take a nandroid backup and try flashing it.
Swype is much better and more accurate than the crappy 4.2 keyboard.

4.2 gapps are in the latest sky-jelly

Yes, camera is crappy. Very nice and pretty but has a few problems.
Best part is the pinch to zoom feature in Gmail.
Keyboard is okay I use Swype already and it is of course better then the stock keyboard. But if you never used Swype then you will love it.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to flash 4.2 then if it is not going to brick the phone.
I have been using swipe for 1year now. Its a bummer if it is not any better. But I like to have the zoom feature in gmail.
Sent from Milky way
I flashed gapps 4.2. I got the zoom feature in gmail. Also I got the new keyboard - one difference so far no need to loop for repeating characters like swipe.
Am not seeing any other differences with other apps may be because all 4.2 apps were already there in 11.4.

Another reason to go away from swype is that I am not sure how trustworthy they really are. I am typing banking passwords as well with swype.

There are some FCs across the Google apps. But they went away after a reboot. Yeah, was not worth this install.

Where'd you get 4.2 gapps? Can't seem to find it.
Grab the one in the PACman Rom thread. I flashed it with the liquid smooth rom.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II. I'm currently running beans Rom build 4, and the reason is this: any time I try to flash a newer build of his Rom, or any other Rom, when I restore from titanium (pro), my messaging will not open and force closes. This problem is very frustrating. I'm currently attempting to run nitroglycerine33's Eclipse Rom, as I loved it for my gnex. I think it may be a certificate issue I'm experiencing.. As nitro's messaging apk is 4.2.1 and it says the current Rom is 4.1.1. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, but I really need some help. I've tried uninstalling titanium backup and re downloading it and making new backups, I've tried several different builds of beans Rom and other roms, every time the messaging fails. Someone please help me if you can. Thanks so much

I'm not really sure though. Try Fixing Permissions option in recovery mode. Are you upgrading android versions or is it bug fixes?
Tried fixing permissions in recovery to no avail. I'm trying to upgrade roms to new builds and switch in between roms.. never dirty flashing, always clean. Not sure if the Android version is upgrading or if the base is still 4.1.2 (for the Eclipse Rom).

I've tried several options in titanium backup and I've tried different combos of restoring and backing up the messaging app and the smspush. I can not figure out how to achieve communication and have my stock sms working correctly! As it stands now, I'll be stuck on beans build 4 forever!

What else are you trying to restore? Don't restore system apps and also just do a fresh install and don't restore anything. Sometimes tibu restorations cause problems
