Hi everybody.
I have a little problem with my brand new Asus TF700 and I would like to ask if you could help me.
I just wanted to deactivate some of the preinstalled apps and services using Titanium Backup Pro, but I made a mistake by doing this.
Foolishly I completely deleted two services instead of only deactivating them (something about "asus pcsync" and "asus backup") and now I have recognized that I'm not able to use usb-devices over the dock anymore.
I think one of the two services I deleted, is needed to use that function.
Do you have any idea how I can correct that ? Is it possible to download the deleted services from anywhere and reinstall them ?
Thank you very much for your efforts.

Unfortunately it's not so easy. Titanium Backup deletes the app directly from ROM, so a factory reset will not solve the problem.
I need the files. I think there is no other way.
Would reloading the last firmware up fix that?
I'm not an xplert with this stuff...just thot a redo of .26 might repair your factory ROM.
...anyone...anyone...anyone else?
Hope you can get things back to normal...
download firmware from official website, put in SD, update. There is a link that is stick on installing firmwares
Hi,
After problems with insufficient memory on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S I decided to partition my SD Card using Link 2SD. Apart from the fact that it took 3 days to get my head around some of the more technical stuff I managed ok..and was pleased with myself when i finally had it all done on my phone with the 2 partitions.
I then used Link2SD to create links to my SD card for those apps that allowed it. However, after doing so, my phone came up with a message telling me that Facebook (kahuna?) app was broken and not responding (sorry, I can't remember the exact message now) I waited, rebooted and tried again but still not working so went back to Link2SD to remove link for this that I had previously created. (Figuring this would put it back to before i moved it) Rebooted phone and now Facebook, Google Play etc have all gone off my phone menu. They were still there as available apps, but when trying to launch them from Link2SD the message displayed that these apps had been removed. I then managed to uninstall the apps that were causing the problem, rebooted and tried to do fresh install of them. However, when going to Google Play via my p.c I am told these are already on my device!?! I cannot find them anywhere on my device at all
I hope I have explained this well enough for someone to offer help as to how to get Facebook and Google Play back on to my phone. Everything else seems to be working ok, it's just these two apps that seem to have gone awol.
To clarify, I just need to know if there is a way to get Facebook and Google Play back

have you rooted your device before using link2sd...?
see this application requires root permissions to work properly...
secondly..it depends on by which method yu have partitioned your sd card...

Thank you for replying. Yes, I did root the phone before starting, and confirmed this was active by making sure the superuser app was on phone. To partition the SD card i used mini tool partition wizard.

OK, Thank you. Though, repeating the process again won't bring back Facebook, GMail & Google Play Store etc, will it? Which, is really all I need to do now. I did follow proper guides when doing all this, I researched it for 3 days solid making sure I knew everything i could before beginning something like this and followed it all to the letter so really am stumped as to what went wrong. Everything else worked ok when linking to sd card via Link2sd...it's just Facebook, Gmail & Google Play Store that have somehow been corrupted.
Thank you anyway, though, I appreciate your advice. I'll keep trying:fingers-crossed:

Like you I also installed Link2Sd on both my tablets and phones and they have never been the same since. Constant FC on anything that the app touched. I've sent repeated emails to the developer that have went unanswered and also posted in his thread. I fear your going to have to wipe and reload. I did that with a spare phone and it was back 100%. Hate to have to do the others as no matter what type of backup I use I always end up loosing something

That's just it, I can't download them, and as I said at start, really and truly that is my issue.
Link2sd has corrupted them to the point where the phone doesn't recognise them as being installed anymore, but google play etc will not let me re-download them as they say my device already has them on. That is the problem i'm having. The apps are there but not there!

Here is the main Link2sd topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326 . Go to the last few pages and you'll see we are not alone
Hy. My name is Steven. Yesterday i bought an Lg L Fino d290. I rooted it with purpledrake and i installed Titanium Backup. I restored some backups from my old phone (an Chinese one : Colorovo City Tone Vision). I restored Contact storage, Phone storage and some other apps. After I rebooted the phone an error pops up "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I tapped on "ok" and imediately it apeared again. I pressed ok again and still apeared again and again. I freaked out and i realised what I've done.. Then i delelted all app chache and rebooted the phone. Nthing changed. I entered in stock recovery mode ( i can't install cwm on my phone) and i whiped all data and cache. I rebooted the phone and nothing changed. The error dialogue is still there. I tryed to install Titanium Backup again to see what i can do but it didn't work because the error message poped up contiously. Even if i install the app from Magazine Play or from an apk file it doesn;t work. i have adb connection but not many commands are working. for example install.. I don't know what to do.. the phone keep showing me the error with and without the sim card. I can open the phone app and the contacts but i can't open the message app. Please help me. What shoul I do? I knnow i dit something wrong..
Hi,
Yes, installing system files from a different devices is not a good idea. It is almost guaranteed you will have bad issues.
Unfortunately I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device, other than trying LG's site for your exact devices firmware. And flashing instructions.
If you have trouble or future questions/issues, This is where to ask for help with that device,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
After OTA update from LRX22C to LRY47I, device reboots with:
"Android is starting... Optimizing app xx of xx." (few minutes)
"Starting apps." (few seconds) "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. Report/OK"
Whatever is pressed, pop-up just reappears.
Clearing cache from recovery restarts app optimization, but error persists.
Basically it's unusable but everything works in the background.
If e-mail arrives, notification sound is heard. Already set alarms work. Notification LED works.
Device is without any modifications, bootloader is locked and usb debugging isn't enabled.
Is there any way to access data?
Is sideloading customized kernel with usb debugging possible with locked bootloader?
Can application for wi-fi access be pushed via google play with preconfigured options and started automagically?
Anyone tried to rescue data after factory reset with dumping disk image and doing forensics?
Any other ideas are welcome.
Btw, there is a thread on Google's Nexus support group were users reported same issue:
(as a new user I can't post direct link here so search for "Android 5.1 is Here!" on google)
From one message it looks as if they are working on this but there was no official answer yet.
Have you pressed playstore? Id a similar problem and it was a playstore system app needed to be updated. Got a message when pressed playstore

I wish it would be that simple. There isn't anything on the screen except pop-up.
Hi,
I've just updated from 5.0.1 to 5.1 (Nexus 5) and I'm having the same problem. The device won't go past a black screen with the error popping up every time.
I have tried wiping the cache twice but the problem persists. I don't want to factory reset because I haven't backed up my data in ages and I'm unable to retrieve that data via USB or whatever.
I believe the problem is caused by the launcher (stock in my case), when attempting to draw the wallpaper based on the info posted in Google's productforums by another user who had the same problem (xda won't let me post the URL since my account has too few posts).
I thought of sideloading a launcher from the recovery menu, considering that maybe it will be able to draw the wallpaper and the other stuff, but I don't know if that will work as I think.
Any ideas, please? Right now my Nexus is software bricked.

But what did you do? I can't do anything, it won't show the app drawer, it won't even let me enter the PIN for the sim card. Either I do stuff from recovery or nothing, and wiping the cache didn't solve it.

i was getting the same error loop and i was trapped in the loop with no way out.
here's what i did -
1. wiped cache partition, NO factory wipe - did this 2X - problem persisted.
2. hard reset device wipe back to factory state, then synced Google data, and reinstalled all apps and load all app settings backup files - problem persisted.
3. hard reset device wipe back to factory state, then synced Google data, and reinstalled all apps. this time i did not load my app settings backup files (Nova Launcher Prime, Fancy Widgets Unlocker, Calendar Status Pro, eWeather HD, Deliveries Package Tracker) on the hunch that perhaps there was an incompatible conflicting setting with 5.1 UI and one of the old app settings backups. AND i seemed to remember that the problem started as soon as i loaded the Calendar Status Pro backup settings file. i loaded all of the backup app settings files except for that one and had no problems. then i deleted that old backup file and started fresh with Calendar Status Pro and i've had no problems since.
so my guess is that you need to do a factory wipe and then reinstall all apps fresh. there may be an old setting from an old app that's conflicting with 5.1.
this is probably not what you wanted to hear but my fix required a hard reset and then starting fresh with the culprit app. yes it's a PIA and i spent most of the afternoon and my battery life fixing this problem.
let us know what you discover.
good luck!
I had the same problem: Seems that Calendar Status Pro is causing these issues.
This seems to be a huge problem with Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 users. You can see the complaints in Google's product forum.
Google Product Forums regarding the random reboots
On Android 5.1 I have been getting random reboots. There is no way to predict when it will happen. First time I was sending a message through line and phone went to a boot loop. I thought the power button was broken/stuck. Eventually it stopped boot looping and went through optimizing apps (I think i was holding down the power button). I thought I had a bad flash so i flashed the stock android 5.1 LRY47I through fastboot using the most recent usb drivers. Also wiped the device/set to default. Worked for a while and got Google Play and Gapps errors. Again I flashed the image through fastboot, reformatted/set to default settings in recovery. The third time I was getting gapps errors again so I reflashed/reformatted image through fastboot manually and not using the flash-all.bat. It seemed to work and put in all my settings again. Again I was looking at my phone, put it down, the screen was fading for sleep mode and then it boot looped and got it working and again went to optimizing apps. It booted then 2 minutes later it happened again when swiping apps away. Then a 3rd time. Clearing the Ui seemed to temporarily stop the boot loops. I am using a N5 unlocked, stock android. I thought it was a hardware problem until I saw a large number of users having the same issue on two different devices. Is there any way to create a system log to track down this problem? Thank you for suggesting the UI cache thing, but I am assuming it will boot loop/optimize apps again soon. This seems to be a huge problem for users. I hope this will be fixed soon.

i bet many problems are the result of incompatible apps/settings. mine was. try a fresh device with no apps installed and see if you get the same errors. it's easy to blame Google/Android/Lollipop but i don't think you can blame them if you install a rogue/incompatible/conflicting app or setting. Developers are not perfect and they often do not update their apps. the OS is only as stable as what you load onto it.

I did, fresh install with wipe/default and when I typed in my email address and not restoring from saved profile got a Google Play Services and Gapps error before anything was installed. The flash was through fastboot. Plus the HUGE number of users getting the reboot/optimization problem in the Google forums affecting the Nexus 5 & Nexus 6, it's definitely the software.

Thanks for the post. I thought the same, that some app must be causing trouble due to some misconfiguration. I've tried booting in safe mode and the problem persists. I'll try a couple things via ADB and if not I'll give up, lose all my data and wipe to factory state.
Hi All,
I'm the developer of Calendar Status
I'm not sure yet if my app is the cause for the issue but Ill happy to assist with whatever I can.
I tried to look for LRY47I but couldn't find anything .. (I did find LMY471 but not LRY471, is it typo?)
Did anyone install fresh copy (Downloaded from Play Store) and get systemui crash ?
Does anyone who restored a backup file and got this crash still have the backup file ? (can be found under sd-card/calendarstatus/preferencesBackup.xml the other files aren't relevant)
In case it's relevant, I didn't/don't have Calendar Status installed in my device yet I suffer from the System UI error.

Well
I know it isn't "Calendar Status bug", it is definitely an Android bug which is triggered by one of the configurations in Calendar Status (and in some other apps too)
---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------
I suspect this to be due to 'transparent icon'.
Is anyone who experienced the crash can confirm he had an application (any application) with transparent icon ? (transparent isn't like 'no icon', it looks like an empty spot on the status bar)
I know from one of the backup files which were sent to me it is the case, and might be why the app crashed after restore (the default is white icon while the backup file has transparent icon selected)

i'm currently using transparent icon with no problems. my guess is problem is a specific font/size/number of events configuration is the culprit.

It was a long shot...
The log doesn't say much (thank you Google).
Ill try keep looking for the issue, if anyone have more info ill be happy to get it. (backup files / scenarios to reproduce / any thoughts..)
Bug was found (and submitted to Android issues)
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=163385&thanks=163385&ts=1428445417
What happened was a different notification (the one shown when no events available, like when setting the events interval to small value) was built in a specific way (as described in the bug).
The restore actually restored the interval value and this is why this bug happened after restore.
I believe there are more apps doing the same as I did (it should be fine), I hope the bug will help them to fix the issue (it is an easy workaround).
Thanks for the assistance guys.

Hey guys,
I would like to know if anyone here has experience such an issue before. Recently updated my ROM from KangVIP Slim B357 to Nougat B575 Stock. Bootloader is unlocked, Root Access is given and everything seems to be working smoothly.
BUT
Whatsapp keeps disappearing on me! Ive tried installing it from the Play Store and manually via ApkMirror, but no dice. Once I reboot my phone, the icon is gone, both in the app drawer and the home screen.
The issue keeps happening, no matter how many times I keep reinstalling it. Whats interesting though: When I check /Data/App, there is a separate Whatsapp folder being generated with each new install. I have already deleted all folder after manually uninstalling Whatsapp, but a fresh install after reboot still doesnt stick after the following reboot....
So, anyone seen this before? Tried googling, but no luck there either.
Thanks in advance!

Notifications Issues on Nougat Android 7.0
WhatsApp Users
For all of you who have been lamenting the poor notification situation on Nougat, cried over the fact that you only see the most recent message making the whole "notification" thing completely useless, things are looking out.
In version 2.17.24 (grab it from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-17-24-release/ ), WhatsApp has properly implemented notifications on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat devices.
Did I help you? A ''thanks :good:'' would be highly appreciated
thx for the reply, but Im afraid you misunderstood ^^ im not having problems with notifications of whatsapp but the app itself. it completely disappears without a trace whenever i reboot / switch off my phone! and i have already tried the latest 2.17.24 version of the apk, still the same....

trying move whatsapp to system > app or priv-app maybe fixing this problem,,,, but really this is strange issue.
i debrand my L29 to AL10 and to DL00 many times and don't have this problem it's normal if whatsapp not working ! but disappearing really wired
edit
maybe it's hidden are you using any other launcher?
im using nova launcher. ill check again if there are any hidden app options, but i doubt it. better to be safe than sorry though...
on my previous install (kangvip b357, al10, nova launcher) i had whatsapp installed as a system app for notifications to come through. did a backup with titanium backup, but it wouldnt restore system apps on nougat. so i just installed from the play store and then restored the data & settings through TiBu.
unfortunately, that didnt work for whatsapp, so i installed it from playstore and just copied the whatsapp folder from my previous install to restore messages and still have the media.
i have also tried converting it to a system app, both through TiBu and manually, but ive only tried system/app, not priv-app. on the previous install it was in system/app though and worked like a charm.
luckily, i only reboot my phone like once a week, so for the time being, whatsapp works as intended. just that i have to backup, reinstall and restore after every reboot...annoying!
