So for a while I was soft bricked waiting for the FXZ for 12.15.15, obviously it was released and my phone is up and running great but one thing I've noticed is when I try to install a 3rd party app I am not able to click install (I have unknown source's enabled duh) but it's so weird... I click the app, it opens and when I try to click install it just doesn't register period. I can click the cancel button but not install...I tried installing the latest safe strap to make a back up but am unable...I also tried installing the Google Search Launcher I extracted from a 4.4 ROM and the same issue occurs...any idea what this is? Or what I can do?...I may try restoring stock again cause this has never happened before,ever. Any insight would be great.

I've seen this before and for my device it was because I was running the app Lux, which is an autodimming screen effect. The way Lux worked was shooting a semi-transparent image over the whole screen. Android has a built-in feature that prevents apps from auto-clicking the install button by preventing apps that are "above" the install screen from disallowing them to auto-install things. Do you have any apps that are running in some sort of overlay?
Thank you Sir, I am actually running greenified which is just like this lux app your talking about, good look.... I had a feeling it was something I had installed, I'll uninstall and see if it works

I didn't really wanted to start a new thread because of this, but I haven't found my answers neither here on the forum nor on google.
I have installed Titanium Backup Root (not pro version) on my Nexus 5 and when I open it, it says 'Unfortunately, Titanium Backup has stopped.'
Can anyone help me?

Which Google did you use? I looked and got this https://www.google.nl/search?q=unfo...hannel=sb&gfe_rd=cr&ei=f25FU7OfGsiT-wbi44D4Bg in 10 seconds. Try fixing permissions in recovery.
Letharqy yes I have tried that, it still doesn't work
gee2012 yes that is what I have searched but I haven't found something that would make it work. Tried fixing the permissions, still doesn't work.

As far as I know, ART is not supported by Xposed Framework, so no, I do not use ART.

Yes, did all that, still no positive result.
Have you tried booting into a custom recovery and formatting the cache and the dalvik cache?

You could try Helium or make backups with adb or maybe some other apps in Play.

Hi,
Other than that:
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html
If it’s crashing right away when you launch it, try clearing its data (in your phone settings, under Applications) and be sure to also remove the "data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" directory on your sd card, if it exists.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And maybe also delete all the residues in data/data (and another locations?) if presents, reboot and try to re-install?
Send them a log too?
It's weird, maybe a conflict with an Xposed module...
It is still not working after doing what was said on that website.
I don't know what else to do, but thank you all for trying to help.

If you really want to use Titanium Backup.... What kind of Xposed modules you use?
Otherwise try the alternative solutions above to make backup.

Hi,
Try installing the app from play store and restore the data seperately . It worked for me.
I installed link2sd, everything was working perfectly, until noobie me switched apps to system apps (mainly Google play store) and the started breaking, tried to change them to user apps, and they disappeared. How would I go about getting tem back, would I have to flash gapps? AA did just unlock the bootloader and made a cwm for my phone if I need to.

Just for future reference, I think that whenever switching between user/system apps you always need a reboot.

So I updated to 5.0 lollipop via ADB flash a couple days ago, and I realized that without xposed + root, I really cannot stand this phone... I need the simplicity that xposed gives me to make using my phone much easier.
So now, I want to downgrade back to 4.4.4 KitKat. Has anyone here tried? What I tried was downloading the 4.4.4 factory images, extracted it, and edited the flash-all.bat file and removed the "-w" command to save my data. It flashes fine, but then the phone is stuck in the boot animation and doesnt get past that.
Has anyone here successfully DOWNGRADED and KEPT THEIR DATA intact? Would appreciate it a lot!

I personally haven't tried that. But 5.0 does have roottt and hopefully eventually xposed

You would need to wipe cache and Dalvik for sure. System apps may need data wipes, too. Play by ear.

yes. I did root it and it worked well. However, one of my company apps that I have to use on my phone detects my phone is rooted and won't open.... Xposed had a module (root cloak) to hide the fact that I had root for that app so it worked

Are there any side effects to wiping cache and Dalvik? If I get stuck on a bootloop again would I have issue flashing 5.0 back if I wipe that?

Just flash factory images. You'll be in for some hair pulling if you try to boot your saved data. Why do people try to do these crazy moves..

That isn't a solution to my problem. I know I can just wipe everything and flash the images again, but the point here is I want to save my data and apps and not have to setup my phone again (thus the topic title, I want to keep my data)

Did you take a nandroid before flashing? You can use TiBU to extract the apps and data from that.

Biggest mistake, no I didnt
Worst case I am stuck with 5.0 lollipop until there is a version of Xposed for ART... or if I can figure out how to use the company app on a rooted device.
I sincerely doubt your phone settings for 5.0 will be compatible with 4.4.x
You will have to wipe. If you're rooted, you can at least restore user apps and data but the android settings, you'll have to do yourself.

I can easily root the device again. What do you mean if I am rooted in can restore user apps and data? How would I back those up and restore? Are you referring to using something like titanium backup?
Thanks.

You can use Helium as well (which doesn't require root)

Thanks. Rooting isn't an issue so I don't mind titanium since it's more comprehensive I think.
I still want to see if there's an easier way to flash back...

Just wanted to update everyone.
I used titanium backup to save all my apps+appdata and then flashed 4.4.4 via ADB. Then flashed TWRP and used CF-Auto-Root to root my phone.
Everything is right in my world of android again. 4.4.4, rooted, and no restrictions. Thanks all!

Any fix for the pesky OTA System Update notification?
I'm dying for 4.4.4 but cant stand that annoying update notification.
And I can't get rid of it without wakelocks.
Funny enough I haven't gotten the notification for Ota update yet... Maybe because I used cf auto root to root the phone and it modifies the kernel I think.

I too am staying with kitkat. I disabled notification in "Google Play Services". Where do I go to see if I'm getting wakelocks?
I have root and everything, but the problem is when I select to restore the backup, a popup appears saying that Titanium Backup has stopped working or something like that, then it force closes . Any ideas?

I have the same problem. running M preview 3 with Hellscore kernel. You can install the app via the play store and use TB to restore data. It is a pain but at least you get your app and data back.

So you say that if I install every app individually and then use Titanium Backup only to restore the data of the apps, it will work?
