When you boot after first wipe it asks you for Google account details, then it will pull down your contacts, wifi settings etc. which we want.

But it also starts re-downloading all your Market apps, which we don't want because we've got them in Titanium Backup and we want to restore them with data (save games) and be linked to the Market for updates.

What's the correct way to handle this?

I've created issues before where some apps don't list in 'My apps' in the Market, and don't auto-update unless I search for them at which point it says 'Installed'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I usually enable airplane mode immediately after the Google account setup, reboot, restore from titanium, reboot, and then turn the radios back on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
ClockworkMod Rom Manager. Its the best tool there is. yu can flash roms by pressing a simple button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
make sure you understand the difference between clockworkmod and titanium backup before you start modding your device. CWM will restore your phone exactly to how it was when you made the backup, everything from your screens, apps, setting, contacts, call and text logs. When you restore with CWM it will erase everything that was done after the backup point. Another thing to keep in mind is that you cant choose to restore specific things in CWM like you can with TB, you have to restore it all in one shot.

TB will restore apps, system apps and data associated with those apps. TB can also be used to backup settings, wifi access points and bluetooth pairings.

So if you get a bootloop or softbrick you have to use CWM. You need to do a factory reset/wipe before you flash a new rom, this is when you would use TB. Use TB to restore the apps, data and settings.

SMSbackup and calllogbackup in the market is also good for backing up or texts and call logs if you want to keep them. google will backup your contacts if you allow google to do this but you can always just save your contacts on your sim card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
never ever restore system apps and data.

Especially if it was meant to be a full wipe.

Even then, clean start is always best so wipe and stop reporting bugs if you didn't do a wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
On that note, some data for system apps can be safely restored - just never do it as a batch process. If I'm going to try restoring any system data, I do another full nandroid first (just in case) and then restore data one at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
I'm shocked no one has mentioned this app yet. Appextractor let's you restore things from your nandroid, Obviously some things shouldn't be restored, but many things can be safely restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
The only problem I had with app extractor is the amount of SD storage space it uses - and doesn't automatically clean up. My nandroids are already ~2.7GB - I don't really want the whole thing also stored uncompressed. I quickly run out of storage space that way.

Oh, and it's painfully slow.

AppExtractor is useful if there's an important app you forgot to back up in Titanium, but doesn't really make sense to me as your primary restore method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Isn't the Titanium data wiped when a new ROM is flashed? I assume that before flashing anything, copy the /sdcard directory to another computer?

And after flashing a new ROM, I assume that Ti has to be downloaded first in order to restore the other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Unless you're using the factory recovery, the Titanium data will remain intact. You will have to reinstall Titanium from the market - or use the tool built-in to Titanium to create a flashable *.zip. Just flash that *.zip before you boot your ROM the first time and you'll have Titanium pre-loaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitramz:
use adb! works without root

adb backup [-f ] [-apk|-noapk] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem] []

- write an archive of the device's data to .

If no -f option is supplied then the data is written

to "backup.ab" in the current directory.

(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves

in the archive; the default is noapk.)

(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's

shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)

(-all means to back up all installed applications)

(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes

system applications; the default is to include system apps)

( is the list of applications to be backed up. If

the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package

list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the

command line will be included even if -nosystem would

ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)

adb restore - restore device contents from the backup archive

example: adb backup -all -system -shared -apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Thanks for this. I had seen adb backup alluded to elsewhere but not a concise post detailing the usage. I'd rather not have to use my computer to handle backups, but it sounds like a pretty cool option.

I am hoping some globe trotters can help me with a few questions....

I am heading to German for a year or so, and I have a WiFi only Xoom with US firmware (ICS). Am I going to have problems with the Market and updates while I am there? Do I need to flash the German firmware to gain access to things while over seas?

I guess my question boils down to does the Marketplace and Motorola update servers go off of ip address, firmware version and location, or simply billing address (like the iTunes store).

I appreciate your time...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
OTA updates are according to the region of the ROM - in this case US.

I am in Australia and I ran a US ROM with no problems. Market apps limited by countries were still blocked (must use your IP address).

[HTC ChaCha] tokafondo:
I post this here, as I can't post in development section.

Well, I downloaded the kernel sources for ChaCha in htcdev.com and I have some questions.

Why there is the source for drivers of hardware the ChaCha doesn't have?

Can the real hardware be guessed from the modules/drivers used in a kernel? Can we know that from the sources?

Can a different flavor of unix (maemo, tizen, webos, debian...) installed on ChaCha by compiling the right kernel? Will bootloader support that?

I come from a N900 where all this things were possible, up to the extents were open source drivers could be used. There is a site where up to the tiniest piece of hardware is identified with the N900.

If exists such a list of hardware of the ChaCha, maybe much better things could be done with the machine itself, even (maybe) 'port' things that other phones with the same or similar hardware does and ChaCha doesn't.

People that hacked the N900 (again) could get it to record videos up to 720p, wihch the N900 didn't support, and even run many games of the Palm Pre, that had almost the same hardware as N900.

Thanks all for reading this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Hi all,

I've been jumping between different ICS ROM bakes to find the one that suits me best, and have had to change some because they've become so laggy after running for a week or two, and I couldn't figure out why.

I'm currently on CyberGR's ROM v7 and it works great on my phone with SIO and lulzactivev2 CPU setup, no overclock, 18hrs+ with medium to heavy usage. Perfect.

But this morning, my MP3s started to skip and the phone was lagging and taking a second or two to notice each keypress.

The one thing I'd done, is sign in to Google Music (previously, I hadn't even started the app as I always use the widget).

I immediately told it to hide my online music, and tried to disable any sync'ing of the 20,000 tracks I have in Google Music, but it just sat there, lagging, 100% CPU, and a spinning circle.

Force-killing the App made no difference either. The phone was just lagging constantly, even though Music.apk was no longer running.

Reboot. Wait for it to settle... lag.

It just wouldn't go away.

So, I opened the App Info on Google Music, cleared all App Data and it's App Cache, and boom. Lag gone.

Open up Google Music, intro about online music, etc - press Back to ignore - play MP3s, all playing smoothly...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does having a large online Google Music library mean I can't have it linked on my phone?

Is there a way to stop it asking me to sign in every time I start up Google Music?

I can start it via the widget, then open it... but the widget might not be on the track I want to listen to ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Settings. Accounts and sync. Uncheck google music.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Now why didn't I think of that... hadn't noticed it hiding at the bottom of the Sync list.

Yup - lag is gone... Ok, that was easy!

But does of course mean that I can't use the online Google Music thing... but hey, better then a nag screen I 'spose!

Hi guys,

i wanted to post this on the BCM thread but since i never postet something till now im not allowed to ;)

so heres my prob:

since i have ICS with BCM Rom, i often get the message i'd have not enough space while updating some apps.

this happened e.g. with facebook, whatsapp, fotmob soccer scores... im not sure whats the trigger for that, cause other apps dont cause this failure.

i also can install most NEW apps, except google chrome (16mb)!

app-settings show 50mb free space (using ext3 1gb).

i really dont know whats wrong...

yesterday i updatet my old hboot (0.83.0001) with alpharev and then revolutionary (so i have s-off now), did full wipe, partitionated sdext new, installed BCM again and - no change...

i hope you can help me with that!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qsec:
I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.

In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.

So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

Hi, everybody!

Does anybody know, what happens if to flash radio with the incorrect MD5sum?

Can it be harmful for HARDWARE?
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
If you mean harmful as in you want your phone to be a paper weight then yeah, harmful.

It's one of the surest ways to destroy a phone.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i remember that some time back a few people flashed the wrong radio & bricked their device :(...so it is very risky to flash radio with wrong md5sum it will almost certainly brick your device
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Oh, well... the point is, that I recognized yesterday, that I flashed the radio with incorrect MD5sum, then I flashed the older radio (with correct MD5), then tried to flash the newest one again..

Interesting is, that the phone worked in all conditions, but started to reboot suddenly -mostly while talking..

And - as I tried to flash the same radio (the latest one) but with the correct MD5 sum - the phone frozen on the HTC splash screen and I made soft-reset, restored cache an so on... so the fact is that the phone wasn't bricked, worked (not well, but still) and the right radio flashed worse, than the wrong one... WTF?

That's why I asked the question above... so, do you think I should go to HTC service?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The radio is just code/configuration files like all system components. Sometimes this code or missing parts of it can cause a bootloop. Sometimes complete brick. Sometimes nothing. Depends on what part of it is corrupted. If you can boot to bootloader or recovery there is a great chance to fix. If not, well the answer is in your post. Tell them that it just stopped working
[HTC Desire S] AndrewMe:
Thanks!

No, the device is working - I just continue to look for the reason of sudden reboots..

What's done:

SIM-card changed,

Battery tightened

SD card changed

Radio reflashed

ROM reflashed/flashed as clear installation

cache+dalvik wiped - without reflashing ROM

changed the settings of mobile data from GSM/WCDA (preferable WCDMA) to GSM/WCDMA (auto) - actually, don't uderstand clearly, what is the difference between them, but it seems, that the first "GSM/WCDA" is some custom thing (because of error in the name in settings menu of CM 7.2.0 nightly 03.02.12)

2 try:

change HBOOT to 0.98.2000 (I suppose it doesn't play role, but still.. :))
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
OK, so I got it a bit wrong.

Changing the hboot to 0.98.2000 is a good precaution in case something goes wrong with your phone - there will be a great chance to restore it with RUU only.

For your current situation:

1) try different ROM

2) always perform full wipe of all partitions before installing new ROM

3) if 1 and 2 give no positive result try to flash the previous version of radio (wipe your cache before that)

4) never pull battery if stuck in bootloop, wait it to drain (better patience for several hours than a Desire S on the garbage)

good luck

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
While I am not sure directly how much impact there may be I would expect you to see a different, the "4g" (read: 3g enhanced) is a large drain on the battery.

Also the EDGE network is a lot more well distributed across the country which means your phone would potentially spend a lot less time searching for the proper signal. I notice at home my phone swap between the 4g and E icon for short periods at times, which means it's also draining battery swapping between signals.

Of course this isnt an issue at home since I just have wifi on, which also kills my data connection when wifi calling is enabled.

So I'm happy with my KF for now. Now if money ever becomes a non-issue in the future..... ;)
