[Q] ADB restore ends prematurely on Android L - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm using a google play store Nexus 5, and trying to restore a ADB backup (.ab file, not pulled files) and for some reason it keeps saying 'restoration ended' on my phone while the computer continues to send data. Anyway I can force it to continue/ restore the .ab from recovery?
Thanks very much for your help, I've searched the forums but could find little on the matter.

Because "L" isn't meant for daily use and is full of bugs...

Thought as much, well, there was nothing really too important on the backup anyway. Cheers for the quick reply!

I've had issues restoring .ab file backup on my nexus 5. However it works flawlessly without the ".ab" i.e naming my backup as say "backup" works where naming it "backup.ab" fails.

Transferring pre-installed apps once on ROM

So I moved over to CM10, but first made a backup of AllShare, PS Touch, and Polaris office. I've restored them (not AllShare) using Titanium backup. The problem I'm having is that when I open them they start to open and then FC. Specifically they say "Unfortunately Polaris Office has stopped".
Any ideas why? I'm 99% sure these don't require TW Framework. Any ideas how to fix?
Note that these are backups from MY device to be used on the SAME device.

Ps touch should work ok, I've sideloaded that on to my SGS3 and it works fine. Not that I can use it well, more just to see if I could...Not sure about the others...
OK. Restoring a Titanium backup doesn't work, but if you pull the APK from the backup folder and sideload it, then PS Touch works. I still can't get Polaris Office to work.

Are you restoring data along with the apk? If so, try only to restore apk w/o data.
If that doesn't help, try clearing app data in the applications settings.

I believe that some apps from the Samsung rom require Samsung frameworks inorder to function. These are not present in a CM10 rom unfortunately. Usually therefore you have to find alternative apps.

Polaris shouldn't be one of them. SNote and any of the S apps have this issue.

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] Titanium Backup Licence File not recognized

Hi guys. My Titanium Backup licence file (txt) was not recognized on the sdcard. I tried almost everything. Uninstalled, reinstalled and so on. I also placed the file in the mnt/sdcard folder what didn't help.I owned serveral devices and never had a single problem. There must be something nexus specific?

No sir, if you neglected to make a backup on a computer or an external hard drive then you're out of luck. All of your information is unfortunately gone.

Nope its all gone. When you unlock the boot loader and root which I think is what Cf does everything disappears.

On February 11th the Internet show Tekzilla had an episode which included "DiskDigger Undelete Recovers Android Files! ", check it out. Maybe something can be salvage. When I watched that segment I was surprised at what could be salvaged with the various programs they used.

[Q] Is it possible to transfer apps from one Nexus 5 to another?

I had to RMA my Nexus 5 due to some display issues. I just got my new one today. I unlocked/rooted/flashed Omni and Franco and now I'm ready to start downloading all my apps. The problem is, I just noticed I've got 8GB of bandwidth left until Sunday and I need to hold onto that for Netflix etc. Is there any way to transfer all of my apps from my old Nexus 5 to my new one before I restock/relock and return? Worst case scenario is I wait until Monday. Or, I just download those really small apps that I use daily and wait until my bandwidth to roll over on Monday before downloading the rest. But if there's another way, I'd like to give it a shot.
Thanks!
Make a backup in recovery, copy to computer, copy the backup to new phone, restore? After all it's identical hardware so it should be fine.

As long as it is still the same version of Android it should be okay. To keep the ROM flash only /data and clear /cache and /dalvik-cache to avoid any errors. Worst case you just flash the entire backup, use Titanium to get any apps and such, and reflash Omni.

I think using Titanium or Helium is much easier to use.
Also, don't forget your sms...
Yes you can backup the phone via ADB and restore in on the other one if its the same specs
