[Q] com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly loop

New G2x owner. Flashed Weapon 3.0, followed all steps correctly. All is good...EXCEPT when I restore dialer storage with Titanium Backup to get all my SMSs. Immediately after doing this, I get the dreaded "sorry, the application com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly" message loop, over and over and over again. I thought there could be a conflict with my Google synced contacts (that TB was trying to restore contacts that were already there) but I tried restoring the dialer storage with my contacts empty, and still got the message. Only way out of it is to use CWM and try over again.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

Trying restoring just your user apps in TB not any system apps/data...

Did that first. Restored a handful of my user apps, then began restoring system/data one by one. That's how I knew what was causing the problem.

So, any other way to restore MMSs besides TB? It's not the most important backup, but still. Mainly I'm interested in what's causing that problem to avoid more problems like that down the road.

My Backup Root. It's good for backing up contacts and sms/mms and more.

You could also try SMS Backup and restore from the Play Store. It is free. You should never restore any system apps and data when changing Roms. They don't play well together.

Or use GoSMS. Its what I use, and it gives you the option to email yourself the file. Also can make the apply backup automatically, every week or so.

[Q] All apps using SD crashes after removing some system apps

Hello!
I've rooted my Nexus S and decided to remove some system apps that I don't use.
I downloaded Root Uninstaller from Market and removed this ones:
PHP:
BooksTablet_2.3.6.apk
com.google.android.apps.googlevoice-2_0.4.2.54.apk
com.google.earth-2_6.2.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper_4.0.4-299849.apk
LiveWallpapers_4.0.4-299849.apk
Microbes_4.0.4-299849.apk
NoiseField_1.0.apk
PhaseBeam_1.0.apk
talkback_3.0.2.apk
VideoEditorGoogle_1.1.apk
Videos_1.4.11.apk
VisualizationWallpapers_4.0.4-299849.apk
VoiceDialer_4.0.4-299849.apk
VoiceSearch_3.0.1.apk
I thought that they are not so critical.
After rebooting I stucked with constant error from gapps and every other app that uses SD card. For example, error stack from Financisto:
Code:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{...}: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteReadOnlyDatabaseException: attemt to write a readonly database.
Same thing with stock Exchange app, Gtalk and others. However, Total Commander can browse and view files on it. Mount to computer with USB also works fine.
I can try to wipe and/or flash custom rom, but want to save information from some apps. Stock 4.0.4 rom and Matr1x kernel.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

Back up your apps with titanium backup. It'll save the data as well. Just restore data+app for those select few. Wipe and reflash. Best bet is to always freeze apps because of stuff like this happening. You really aren't gaining any significant amount of space by deleting them anyways.

Not to intrude, but could you help me with an issue with my Nexus S ?

All are fine to deleted except com.google.android.apps. Restore it and you shouldn't have any issues.

Thank you, but I was unable to install anything. Things got worse and I received constant errors from every google app. I tried to install Titanium several times from market or apk or recover deleted gapps from backup without success.
So I wiped my phone and now all is ok.

Question about Google Apps.

Im looking to flash Justinbeans inverted Gapps to my galaxy s3 running paranoid android.
This is my first CM10 based rom and first time flashing google apps. Sorry if this is redundant, but im trying to be thorough.
My question is, do google apps backup data periodically?
For example, if I complete a nandroid, wipe and reinstall the ROM and flash these Gapps, will I open SMS and see my messages? phone to see recent calls?
Because they were google apps I assumed this would be true, but I couldnt find a 100% answer.
Any help? Thanks in advance. Really looking foward to doing this tonight.

All ur texts and call logs will still be there. Google apps. Also known as gapps are the play store gmail and a few others. And even if it did replace the messaging app I don't believe it would erase the data(the messages). I don't think I'm wrong but if I am someone feel free to correct me.
Edit. Sorry if u flash a Rom ur messages will be erased along with ur call log. But if u only flash gapps over ur current Rom setup u will still have ur phone and message data.

Titanium will save your messages/call logs, and other random data. Google will not accurately save your data developed in an app, use titanium.

Are you restoring the apps from Titanium Backup, or are you reinstalling them from scratch?

I'm just flashing updates over my current ROM. I've tried doing a total reset and it works until I flash an update
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

The update is breaking something. If you reinstalled the affected apps, it would probably fix the problem. I can't guarantee, however, that reinstalling would keep your app's data intact. It should, though.
If you use Titanium Backup (you can use the free version), after an update you can restore the affected app's data, or app+data, and it should fix the problem.
Or... don't update the ROM

Thanks!

Lost all app data after crash and forced reboot

Hi, did a quick search but couldn't find anything.
I experienced something very strange and depressing this morning. Running AOSPA 4.1 beta, I experienced a bug with pie that locked my phone up after rotating it while pie was active. Only way I could find out of it was to hold the power button until it rebooted the phone.
When my phone booted back up, I was greeted with the message "System UIDs Inconsistent." All of my gapps started force closing at random times and ALL OF MY APP DATA was gone. All of my apps were still there, just all of the data was gone so every time I opened one, it was like the first time it has ever been launched. It's like a factory reset was performed but all of my user apps are still installed.
I wiped system and reinstalled the rom and gapps hoping to solve it but it didn't fix anything. Used Titanium Backup to try to restore the backed up system ID but it said the current ID matches what's backed up. I then ran fix permissions in TWRP and that fixed the UID message and gapps force closing but my app data is still gone.
I'm hoping the data is still there, just inactive/hidden. My free space on SD seems to be a GB or 2 lower than before the problem but it's been a few days since I checked that so it might be the same as before the issue.
My last backup with Titanium was a few weeks ago so I'm really trying to avoid restoring that if there is some other solution to restore the app data if it's still there. All that Swordigo progress gone with only the final boss to go!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried browsing the app data to see what's there?
I've had similar things happen across multiple devices and typically only a restore has helped.

The data/data folder has a folder for each of my apps but all that's in most of them is a cache folder or lib file but nothing else. I guess it's just gone.

Try fix permissions in recovery.

Fix permissions solved the UID error but didn't fix the issue with the apps having no data.

I haven't got my n5 yet but on pure stock on my nexus 4 I had a forced reboot (do have a custom kernel) and all my Google app data was gone (account, music, ect...) I think it has something to do with fsync being off possibly?

I just gave up and restored to an old backup. Lesson learned... Auto backup now enabled.
