[Guide] Survivng a Data Wipe / Update (Reduces Force Closes, too!)

Alright, this is a guide for everyone who has come to me saying "When I update, XXX.apk force closes" or "I hate doing a wipe every time I update"
What you will need:
Computer
Backup for Root Users
Google Account
SD Card
( Yes, this is written for idiots, )
What to do:
Power on your phone
Sync your google account
Run Backup for root users
Perform a data backup (first option)
Upon completion connect the phone to PC
Mount the sd card and open BackupRoot/data
delete everything related to the system
This is providers folders, htc.android folders, anything that isn't related to an app that you have installed
You should be left with just your program folders
These are things like nl.rogro.GScriptFull, and other INSTALLED programs
Do the update, wipe your phone, ect. (Whatever you had to do)
Run Backup for root users after opening any apps that have a EULA
These are things such as "Welcome, this program does some stuff" that appear when you first start the app and prevent data from being written until they have been accepted in full
Choose Restore Data (the option to the right of the first one you used)
Sync Google account
Congratulations, you have restored.
Now Backup for Root Users is a great app, but many people do not realize that when you back up all of your data, things like calendar and Mms may be different versions. Unlike installed apps that are meant to accept data from different versions of the same app, these programs may carry the same name but may read data differently. Things like calendar do not transport well, but by syncing your account you prevent losing anything because it is all reloaded by the sync.
Note: You will lose settings for Settings and Home Screen. These cannot be prevented and are the MOST COMMON cause of issue because the code for Launcher, Rosie, and the System are CONSTANTLY being changed. It's a small price to pay...

Great Advice!!! Thanks!

Ah, so you're the person behind this great app.
do you happen to have a thread/blog that explains what some of these backups do? I have a bit of a hard time decyphering some of them.

Correct me if i'm wrong regarding your tutorial twistedumbrella.
If the users are running apps2sd, shouldn't they run the second option of the backup "Backup Data2sd"?

As you requested I published an info page on my blog:

Slightly off topic I suppose, but could you [Blackgin] give us an option when using your program (as I do) to automatically backup only the Application Data that Twisted mentions above. That would save us the step of going in and deleting all that other stuff. You could call it "Pre-Wipe Backup" or something.

Easier said than done. You either have to index all apps and backup relative to that list (data is often a different name than the app) or index the system and skip that data (again variable by build). Honestly it would be a little too complicated unless you have set data lists just due to the variable nature of app name to data location.

Here is 1 more addition:
suppose u r gona have a wipe & dont want to do google account sign in again but want it to be automatically signed-in @ the first boot after updating,
Grab the attachment, extract & run bat file
It will backup google account database & will restore database:
Note: Backup When Phone Is running Means not in recovery mode
&
Restore after Updating/Wiping But in Recovery Mode Even restoring as soon as u update will do....

Maybe it isn't so difficult, I'm trying..
EDIT: Done

So if I am on a build using aps2SD, I choose that option right? The first time nothing backed up/restored properly

For me on cyanogen build, it works also the normal apk backup..

I backed up my sms while using Cyanogen 3.4.6, and i just flash JACHero, can I restore those SMS or will I run into some errors?

It depends on what you are using (app2sd or not) and what you want to backup..
If you want to backup data without system one, chose data-sys (or that for app2sd).. If you want a full data backup chose backup data (or that for app2sd)

Backup for root users doesn't work for me.
When I start the application the first time I click on always allow permission.
Then I click on any buttons to save and nothing.
Just a message very fast "Performing Backup..."
On SD there is a directory "BackupRoot" and inside 2 Directories "dataNoSys" and "sd".
any idea?
I'm on custom ION r1

Hi everybody,
Today I ve found a upgrade of BackupForRoot!
Always better! Good work Blackgin

[Q] Apps will not install or be restored [Solved]

FIXXXXXED IT
EDIT SOLVED the encryption/auth files in the folders called .______ <<-------- i don't remember the name but yeah i deleted it
So essentially I have angry birds seasons ad free off amazon that i got for free that one day it was free :O *lots of free*. Now im going to update that and a couple other apps and they all said Application not installed in the htc/android installer area.
Now here's the thing it's not just amazon apps that are having these issues, its market place too and installing apk's will have the same thing. Even my previously backed up version of seasons will not restore *I uninstalled it to see if it would install the new version*.
I'm going to update to das bamf 1.5 today *from 1.4* so I should be able to install the apps, but why would 90% of the apps im trying from amazon/android mrkplace not install *even if they had before*?
Note: I have over a gb of free space on the phone, sd card is like half full
Thanks

This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to it, then going back into recovery and flashing your mod scripts.
The ROM creators may have a better answer than I do though. Let me know if it works for you.

I didn't see the q/a section of tb forum, but yeah I dont remember installing any extra scripts. I will look out for it though when I update to the newest one.

Ok i installed das bamf 1.5 remix and I still am getting the same issue.
>_> for example angrybirds rio *from amazon* said this app is incompatible with my device *BS! It didn't say it the day it was released and it worked just fine...
android market place fails to install any angry birds.

I am having the exact same issue now after flashing tesla coil 1.7. I've gone all the way back to stock and I'm still having the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
I am going to reroot and try flashing the same ROM that caused this and see if maybe it was something wrong with the rom download.

I went back wiped and reinstalled 1.5 remix with only amazon installed and it still did not install anything. So the fw is conflicting with something.
Looking back now about 20 apps won't install same via titanium.

How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork.
Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

I downloaded it from their site w/o the use of android market place or amazon appstore.
Everything is wiped before install of 1.5 remix i cant get about 20 different apps to install/restore *the apk's were backed up using appmonster before root and Titanium back up after root. A backup on my desktop of both and on the sd card. No version of those ~20 apps will install *previously were installed and worked*.
*also i unmounted sd card O_O and it installed marketplace apps, now what would be conflicting on the sd card :/ to cause that. Hmm that's a temp fix, but amazon and TI are what I need to figure out.

Changing pattern lock color

Having trouble changing the color of the pattern lock on my S3, I've already swapped out the appropriate png's in the framework and the strangest thing is if I go into settings and security and set a pattern lock it is showing up there the appropriate color but when I lock the screen it hasn't changed when I unlock it there very odd. Anybody have any ideas?

And like I said the even stranger part is that in the settings menu it works
But on the lockscreen its still showing the old one

Oddly enough I made a totally unrelated change in twframework-res via ninjamorph and rebooted and blam they are now working properly on the lock screen, silly phone I rebooted like 3 or 4 times thinking just maybe it would apply then it just does it lol.

Could you upload the files and how to do this. Its just what I wanted to do. Thanks

Oh sure thing, easiest way to do is using ninjamorph just download it from the market, open framework-res.apk (its in /system/framework) and go to the res folder and then the drawable-xhdpi folder and replace indicator_code_lock_point_area_green_holo.png with the blue one from the post and also indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png also with the blue one from the post. Once you have done this back out to the main ninjamorph screen and select finish project select framework-res.apk, tell it yes for the first one about it replacing the apk, then tell it no for zip align, allow it to do its thing then reboot. That should do it for you if you have any other questions just ask

Thanx. I tried doing this with the latest ninjamorph I bought from playstore just now and luckily I just made a backup with twrp. Everything replaced the 2 images but when I went to save the app it gave me 4 or 5 diff. Steps. I did like you said but it froze up on work in progress and I had to remove the battery and was in a bootloop. I wish I could get it to work. I think it's the new ninjamorph might be diff. From the one you used.

First of all sorry for not telling you once you go through the prompts and apply it you will get FC's and your phone will automatically reboot, this is normal since your replacing framework, it will reboot and apply changes so no worries there. I'm just using the free version of ninjamorph version 2.4, ok lets square up the steps again. after selecting finish project and selecting framework-res.apk the first popup says (your about to overwrite /system/framework/framework-res.apk with your finished project are you sure?) select yes to this, the second popup says (since this is an apk file, we can optimize using zip align) select no, the third popup should say (since you are changing framwork you must reboot) just click ok. The last popup asks you if you want to cleanup the project its up to you this will just clean out your project folder I would say no for now until you get everything working how you want. Reboot the phone then you should be good. Also not sure on the difference between twrp and cwm as far as flashing a zip goes but I could probably just have you upload your framework-res.apk make the changes for you and post the zip file.

Man I did everything you said, and my phone is now in a bootloop, I didnt have a cwm backup so now im prettymuch screwed... This was supposed to work for any rom? im using CM10.. please answer Im really desperate right now...

If you still have the cm10 zip on your SD card you should be able to just dirty flash it and that should get you running again.

[Q] Moving from DroidKang to another ROM

Hello, I am quite new to the android scene as I have been an iOS user for quite a few years (No judging please )
Basically, I have DroidKang v10 as my ROM on my phone, and i am trying to switch to cataclysm, or in fact any other ROM, but everytime I change ROM and restore my DATA ONLY backup, I keep getting the "unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working" or something along the lines of that, my guess is that its something to do with the back up and using different GAPPS,
Am i doing something wrong? any help would be appreciated

go to the main settings, accounts, google, press the top account(yours), make sure app data is checked, then manually sync it(or look at what time it was synced last. also, go back to backup and reset and make sure that automatic restore is enabled as well. it syncs/restores play store apps data and your system settings.

Deleted youtube...OOPS

I used root app manager to delete youtube and now my phone only boots into fastboot I do have a backup in the manager's "recycle bin" folder. My question is, where should this app be placed? If someone could check their file browser and let me know the folder name and location it would be greatly appreciated! I've been led to believe it may be in /system/app or /system/priv-app but apparently the manager also deleted the folder or I'm looking in the wrong spot. I'm hoping that relocating the apk will solve my problem without having to reflash OOS. Thanks in advance!!

Try /system/product/app

Ah yes 10.3....sorry I'm still on pie.
By any chance have you looked in data/app? (If that path even exists anymore on 10.3)
And did you try to wipe cache/dalvik? (Maybe that would allow for boot?)
Hope you get it sorted out!
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

You could always try to flash gapps and see if that helps, but I can not see for the life of me how deleting YouTube would prevent the device from booting...

So I booted it up in the other slot. Seemed to be working fine, except WiFi wouldnt work. If I enabled it, it wouldn't even get to searching before it disabled itself. So i backed up with titanium (only user apps) and transfered files to the computer, and used the stock recovery to factory reset. Maybe I should've tried booting from there, but i went ahead and installed twrp, installed the latest 10.3 update i had saved from the phone (which was downloaded by OOS), and when i booted it up, WiFi is still broken Not only that, but after taking an hour to transfer my stuff back to the phone, OOS lost it on the first boot (entirely different issue, just venting at this point). So now I'm going to try the fastboot route. I found a guide from user mauronofrio that hopefully will fix everything. If anyone has any other ideas to just get the phone back to factory, I'll take them in case this doesn't work lol. Apparently Youtube is a very important system app!! :silly:

I'm finally back in business. The reason for my post was to not have to factory reset. Never thought it would've given me this much trouble (headbang) . Moral of the story.... OOS must run off of youtube app

That is not the moral of the story.
The moral is don't **** around with the /system partition. Why you didn't just use adb to disable the app is beyond me.
