[Q]

Hi all,
I'm an inspire noob running exist's 4.0.3 asopX version 26 and he recently said that he was going to update us to 4.0.4 for version 27. My question is can I back up what i have to the sd card, do a reset, then recover everything using 4.0.4? Or will i need to do a wipe and manually put stuff back on?
thanks

As Long as the recovery you are using is compatible with your backup, then you can restore it with any Rom you are running. Backups from CWM are not always compatible with 4EXT recovery and vice versa

OK. Got it. Thanks a bunch

I don't think glevitan understood your question correctly, or maybe I don't. I took it you want to back up your apps and such, not the ROM version itself. And to restore everything back on the 4.0.4 version. This has nothing to do with clockwork or 4EXT recovery.
If he releases the 4.0.4 ROM as an update and does not require a full wipe then just install it over top of the 4.0.3 ROM. Most of the time the DEV requires a full wipe though.
Usually it is best to do a full wipe and restore user data with a backup app like Titanium Backup. But you only want to backup and restore user apps. Restoring system data can really mess your ROM up severely. Google contacts will resync when signed in.

haha Now that I see your reply I guess that I didn't get what he was asking...well, he will come back and get what he wants or will ask again...

I will say, no matter how inconsequential it seems, DO. NOT. RESTORE. SYSTEM. DATA. between major android versions. Let me refine that. I back up my playlists using Titanium Backup. I figured this was an insignificant thing and restored it when I moved from CoreDroid to aospX. Firstly, it didn't restore my playlists; secondly, I had to factory reset the phone < 1 day later.
That said, I WILL be restoring playlists and contacts going from AR26 -> AR27. I'll report either here or in the dev thread if it causes problems, but I have 6 g(mail | apps) accounts plus my FB account, and it takes me a considerable amount of time to get the duplicates regrouped.
Hope I helped. BTW, the free version of TiBU is pretty good, you just have to confirm every install. To me, it was worth it to get the pay version so that I could restore all my apps without confirming every one (right now I have 45-50, that's a lot of confirmations). It's also nice to be able to back out of a buggy new version of an app, or to be able to go back if you don't like the new version (I'm looking at you, FB.)

oh i see now. looks like i really lucked out cuz i flashed AR27 and his 4.0.4 then did a recovery. I thought it was a bit odd that it still said 4.0.3 so I came back here. Doh! okie dokie. I'm redoing a wipe and clean install and I'll just push all of my apps back from my google account.
Thanks for all the pointers about Tia Backup

Young, check here. Remember to thank the OP.

I really appreciate all the help guys but I've flashed both the InspireMod 0.5 and the one you both provided the link for. Unfortunately it still doesn't record sound. I am trying to send a message via MMS by recording it. But when I push record it gives me an error of Internal Application Error. I'll try downloading different apps to see how they work. Its just kinda odd the stock recorder doesn't work
Thank you all for your help.

You should have placed this in the ICS Q/A thread. Do NOT use the development thread for questions. thats why the restriction is in place, so people learn the ropes a bit before they are allowed in there. I would redownload and do a full wipe and reflash. And try to record your mms BEFORE you put all your apps and stuff back on there. Need a clean environment before you can dig deeper into this. Only thing you should put on after installing is inspiremod before doing your mms test. Id love to help test with ya, but i always remove the default mms apk from my phone :/

OK. Now I know. Which messaging app do you use?

Help with mms.apk

Hi everyone, today I was updating my SKY ICS 4.2E ROM with the latest update, I followed all the steps (it's been a while since Im doing this) and finished, I assumed everything went fine and continued using my phone. later i found out that the MMS.apk was missing and tried to reinstall it but never could. I also tried reinstalling the update but it didn't worked. so here Im asking for a little help, Thanks in advance.

Messaging isn't in Gapps.
OP, SkyICS uses Samsung's messaging apk so your best bet is going to be to re-install the base. I am attaching the MMS.apk from the SkyICS base, so you can try dropping that in \system\apps\; don't forget to change the permissions.

Thanks, I did that but it didn't worked either, but went to the play store and looked for the ICS message app and installed ;D it was that simple all the time, thanks everybody.

Before you reflash
Go to settings-> Applications-> all -> and scroll ALL THE WAY to the end of the list. See if it is disabled.
This happened on mine, just renable and was good to go.

I've had notification issues with that app; double-check that you're getting all your text notifications before you close the book on this. Otherwise, great app if you prefer the AOSP look, which I do.

It looks good, actually I don't mind how it looks as long as it works. thanks for the help everybody.

[Q][CM9] Apps becoming incompatible?

Anyone else find that after updating to any of the new CM9 nightlies some apps became 'not compatible with your device'?
Specifically tinychat which I was using on this device before... I updated from #28-30 with no results, so I decided to reflash alpha 4 which I'm positive I had the app running on, but still no dice =\
Currently on UCLE2 ICS CM9-6/30-Nightly with CWMtouch-5.8
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I can only really ask if perhaps a few other people could simply go to tinychat.com on their device and see if it says whether your device (non-rogers please) is compatible or not. Thank you very much! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I've performed a factory reset and flash of each new nightly thus far, but still encountering the same problem.

I'm on cm9 07.02.2012 nightly and i searched for tinychat and i can't get it either. i've fixed market compatibility in lcd density modder pro and still cant find it. i went to the play store on my computer to find it and found it. I went to install but it isnt compatible with any of my devices for some reason. Maybe it's a problem with tinychat? any other app problems should be fixed by fixing market compatibility in lcd density modder.

Are they all on ICE? It could be the app doesn't work with ICS.

if you have Root and file explorer, go into your /system/build.prop and make sure this line that says: ro.sf.lcd_density=240 looks exactly like this.

Thankyou very much, yet my ro.sf.lcd_density does in fact =240. I even tried using the GPlay DPI fix, and it allowed me to bring tinychat to google play, but when I press install & download it brings up '"tinychat - group video chat" could not be downloaded due to an error. (942)'
I suppose it's a good thing I don't have access to such a "social"/anti-social application all the time
Still, it's just really confusing and still would enjoy the ability to broadcast for people like when I was at my friends' concert the other night. But it's no big deal really, Ustream works and that's wonderful for that particular need. Thanks again to all the replies! :good:

[Q] I destroyed my phone?

Well after a lot of reading and watching videos(apparently not enough),i seem to have gotten myself into something i am not sure i can get out of.I followed all the steps to install TWRP on my SGH-I727 AT&T Skyrocket using Straight Talk.That went ok,i got it installed,booted into it and forgot to backup my data first!I did a wipe first.... no idea why
I had the CM-11-20140106-nightly skyrocket.zip file on my external sd card.I get to the sd card and see the zip file,select it,I clicked install and the screen says checking for MD5 file...Skipping MD5 check no MD5 File found,then FAILED.
I also put gapps on sd card and it installs that fine.
So now when i try to reboot it just goes to the twrp screen and i can't get any further.Of course i can't restore because i didnt backup...
i was running 4.1.2 jb,am i totally screwed or what?I tried to reinstall with kies but it won't connect to phone now

do some more reading.
theres only one specfic gapps version that will work with cm11, its in their installation/instructions page.
hard bricking will happen if you flash something not meant for our phones, need it jtaged to fix it.
soft bricking will happen if you dont folllow devs instructions but is easily recoverable

you should have "focal" as your camera app, but you can also just flash a stock ROM that has root so everything is back to its familiar setup and apps.

Hi guys, i have exactly the same problem. I have a 3110 and i decided to move from cm 10.1.3 to cm11. I performed the data wipe/factory reset with the latest version of twrp, installed the rom, installed the gapps package and everything seems to work fine except for the camera. There is no app at the drawer, i can not install google camera from the playstore, and the apps that i installed either in apk or zip form do not work. Some crash, camera zoom fx doesnt have the option to take picture and some other apps throw an error message about "can not find the hardware camera" and staff like this. Can someone help me plz?

then it must be an issue in the ROM itself.
either a bad download or an bug in the system.
inquire in the specific rom thread to address the problem and if you have time Google "log cat android" and make a log when you try to open the app.

@tokenpoke its indeed a bug in the system, camera is broken at cm 11atm, you need to apply a fix. The solution can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53381666&postcount=2909 , thnx goes to @webdroidmt for pointing that out.

i have tried the thread stated in this forum where i also found many having such issues, but the remedy just didn't work out for me.
I guess i will have to re-root it again.

no need to reroot if you've installed a custom recovery.
most ROMs are already rooted and there is an option when booting your system from recovery that injects root into nonrooted roms
