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

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)
So I just rooted my charge and I've got gummy charged rom, and an overclock kernel. Every 30 seconds or so I get a force close that says:
Sorry!
Google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps.) has stopped working. Please try again later.
Anybody got any idea on what to do?
And thanks to everyone who's been a huge help. I love this forum.

Did you restore anything with TiBu? I was getting this error when I restored some system settings, even the ones that are green. Try doing a factory reset (clear data and cache) and see if your problems go away. Then be careful in what you restore back to the device.
Before doing this make sure you have a backup.
Quick Tip: Sometimes the PIN unlock (I haven't tried any others) might go into an infinite loop and lock you out until you do another factory reset, but it only happens after restoring some system settings. I'm thinking it was the bluetooth settings that caused this, and this one in particular doesn't seem to mesh well between stock (even stock based) ROMs and ROMs that have been replaced with AOSP apps like GummyCharged.
Hi everyone,
a couple of weeks ago I had to send my One S in for repair, as the soft keys (back/home/recent apps) were absolutely unresponsive (slightly off topic, but: this happened after I used the phone as a car GPS on a 13h road trip. Could this have caused it or was that just coincidence?).
Once I got it back, I re-rooted it and restored everything (system apps and data included) from a backup made shortly before I sent it in (using Titanium Backup). That, however, made my phone lose all push message capabilities, so I emptied the user and system app cache and deleted all user and system app data, which brought push capabilities back to life again. Yet, ever since then, the quick start icons (phone/sms/e-mail/camera) aren't showing up on my lock screen anymore and when I try changing background images in HTC's Personalization app, there are no images to chose from.
I'd like to try fixing this by restoring individual app data in Titanium Backup, but I wouldn't know which apps would be of interest here. Could anyone help me out with this?
Cheers,
uø
Hey all,
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the lollipop update that just got to our Verizon variants of the One M8. My phone is completely stock, has never been rooted or s-off. I got the lollipop OTA update yesterday and after 45 mins of installing I couldn't wait to see how lollipop would improve my user experience on my phone. Short answer: it didn't AT ALL. The long answer is written out below.
1. Notifications
I don't really like the lollipop update to the notifications bar (1 swipe for notifications, 2 for settings) but its really just personal preference. However, with the update, you can no longer check your notifications directly from the lockscreen. You can't even see the icons of the new notifications at the top without unlocking your phone.
2. Lock Screen
Lock screen widgets are gone with the update. You also no longer have the option of swiping to the left for BlinkFeed, now its just a straight unlock that brings you to the page you last had open. No way to get to the homescreen directly like earlier. Now what the update did that really pisses me off is that you can no longer control your music from the lockscreen. With KitKat, you could skip tracks, and pause the song directly from the lockscreen. Now with the update you can't do any of those. You can't even swipe down from the lockscreen to see the media playing. Literally all you get is the album image of the song playing on your lockscreen. Yeah, just the image, you don't even get to see the name of the song playing.
3. Longer Boot Time
The boot time is longer now. Also once I get past the HTC and Verizon logo's while booting I get a dialogue box that says "Android is upgrading" before it goes to my homescreen. I'm not sure if this the case with everyone but it has happened to me everytime I reboot.
4. Just general unpleasantness
Recent apps takes longer to show all apps (I use grid view). Its quite minor and only noticeable if you compare it with a phone on KitKat but its still annoying. The Google Play Services update was also really annoying and it made my phone hang while it updated. The update also removed the World Clock Globe feature which was kinda cool, especially when I traveled. Again this is minor, but the update should improve the user experience not remove existing features.
Anyways, this is just my take on the lollipop update and it could be different for everyone. I, for one, am seriously considering downgrading back to KitKat (if its possible yet). I really hate it when an update takes my device in the backwards direction.
What did you guys think of the update?
I haven't had any issues with Lollipop on my M8. I've been running Lollipop on my Nexus 7 for months, so I'm already used to it. After getting familiar with it, I prefer it to KK. The slow boot time is probably due to the fact you has "fast boot" enabled on the previous version of Android. HTC has removed it from Lollipop.
UPDATE:
Going to Sound & Notification > When Device is Locked > Show all notifications fixes the notification grievances that I had listed.
just_lou,
I don't think FastBoot is the issue. I had it disabled when I was running KitKat. The issue is the dialogue box of "Android is Upgrading" that still shows up (I just rebooted to see if it shows and it did). I'm not sure if this will go away after a while or not.

If you are showing this repeated it means you either have an app installed that isn't art capable or your cache is corrupt. Backup and factory reset. You should not see that message on every boot.
Still think 4.4.4 is wayyyyy smoother than 5.0. Visually.... 5.0 is nice but its only a few you touches. I'm not impressed. Waste of an update. I'm on 5.0 ROMs which help but I miss my 4.4.4 snappiness lol.

ok I thought it shouldn't appear every time. so I went ahead and factory reset my phone after checking to make sure a backup was present. the most recent backup was about an hour before I updated to Lollipop, so I thought it would be fine in terms of having all the essential data. I used HTC Backup for the process.
Now after the reset, HTC backup can't find the backup when I click "Restore from cloud". All I see is "none" under the "Restore from Backup" option. Now I know for a fact that the backup file is saved on the cloud, I used Google Drive.
Is the phone unable to read that backup because it was done when the phone was running KitKat? If so, then begins the long task of restoring everything one by one.....

No that should not be an issue. I have used it forward and backwards. Open play and then go back to HTC backup. Possible it's not looking in your Google account at all yet.

I opened the Play Store and tried again. Backup still didn't show up. Then I deleted all the accounts on the phone and re-logged in. Still didn't show up. I went ahead and did another factory reset, reinstalled the HTC backup apk, logged in and opened the play store and tried to restore again. HTC backup still didn't find my backup. Then I double checked to make sure that I was using the right account with which I had done the backup. After confirming that, I tried once again deleting all accounts and signing in again and still nothing.
Finally, I tried to sync the account manually and then try. Still nothing.
I have used HTC backup in the past, and it worked fine to restore everything. Just this time it isn't.
Is there anything else I can try?
You know you can swipe right when locked and screen off to get blinkfeed right? Just have to decide now before you turn on the screen if you are planning to go to blinkfeed I guess.
I get my audio controls for Spotify on the lock screen too... With controls to play, pause, next. Just double tap the screen.
The grid recent apps seems to take longer because it's multiple screens of recent apps.
Just a quick tip but you can access your pulldown quick settings menu with the double finger down swipe when the screen is on at the lock screen. Useful for switching to silent or airplane mode without unlocking or using the volume hardware rocker.
That being said, my battery life isn't so great anymore and my GPS is skewed now (I'm always about 30-45 degrees of in the direction I'm facing).
Instead of using that crap "blinkfeed" launcher use the Google Launcher form the play store.
