Does anyone know a good way to backup and restore the Apps without having boot loops? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
you get bootloops even if you restore one app? but yeah, it sounds like its an aosp bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitalsunshine:
Maybe is that the structure on 4.2 is different than 4.1? So tibu & tom toolbox restore it as 4.1 data rather than applying as 4.2? That's why we got bootloops? I do restore data only from tibu earlier and I got bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
they changed the UI. its different from what you had in 4.2.1. but even in 4.2.1 i think the very limit for phabUI was 240 dpi. even if things looked okay by the sight of it, the touchtargets would overlap and you'd not be able to press navigationbuttons correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
Followed these steps, all in one step

4. make a factory reset, unless you are on PA 2.99 already [Was on 2.99 so no reset]

6. flash rom, gapps, fix, wipe dalvik & cache

Did these all at once, I guess I can separate the steps if that might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
well theres this multiuser thing. many internal things are encapsulated now, your entire sd for instance is in /0 /1 /2 etc. so it would kinda make sense for android to do the same for data, how else would they get multiaccounts working. its only a guess, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
Thanks, I didn't flash any radio/baseband updates that weren't included. In the end, it didn't matter. After my experience, I tried to restore from Nandroid, it didn't help, so I thought I'd suffer without data on Beta 3. So, reflashed and everything worked....:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's sad. Well, I guess I'll just have to keep on swiping with two fingers to get to the quick settings panel...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i used solid explorer and i see new infrastructure in 4.2

they have /data/user/0/ now and it contains multiuser app data - as i guessed it would. titanium does not fetch this for sure, nor does it care to create it. it could be one reason why it fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
I regained data after flashing again, maybe that's worth a try or two. Moles also posted an explanation, so if reflashing doesn't work look at fiftyclick's advice. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yeah. I get that every time I reboot my phone. Whenever I reboot my phone, I lose data connection. Only way to bring it back is to do a cache wipe and dalvik wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
I just can't see the benefits especially of the lockscreen. The lockscreen is there as a lockscreen, for a little privacy, to 'standby' your device and protect from erroneous inputs etc. How is it any easier to have the camera a swipe away to a swipe to the 4.1 circle? You don't want your phones lockscreen to be as functional as the rest of it otherwise what's the point of a lockscreen? You might as well not have one!

On the toggles too, all that's important is a quick on/off with as few inputs as possibleewhich cm10 accomplished. One thumb one handed swipe down and there you are. With the new drawer it requires 2 fingers, the phone to be held differently to accomplish this and is just more clumsy in my opinion. Context based toggles are great I agree but the deskclock for example offers a snooze /wake lockscreen interaction anyway, which is quick and simple - so simple you can do it with your eyes shut! Haha.

Just to make it clear this is my opinion, I'm in no way criticising you, you're a purveyor of an aosp based (in this case) rom and I love what you do. For me some changes seem a little unnecessary on Googles part, creating 'features' that require more thought and are less intuitivethan nnecessary.

Then again, I have one home screen and no widgets. I prefer a clean , quick and efficient setup with all the functionality I need. Things running in the background is much preferable to me for example. I don't need widgets constantly in my face constantly refreshing. If I want to check twitter I use the app and it opens where I left off. No issues there. Anyway I'm rambling now .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yeah that wont hurt you. ;)

we may be able to put the old behavior back to 600dp and use the new one on 720. the 1000dp slot i reserved for tabUI. that would make sense because 600 and 720 are more or less the same right now. i guess google created these two slots for future changes, who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
but when you think of it - we're complaining that we have to use two fingers instead of one for a gesture we use maybe once or twice a day. talk about problems here. : P its true though, the goal of this rom is to combine googles experience and longterm goals with a careful selection of rom scene tweaks. i can imagine it wont appeal to everyone, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alahkel:
What's wrong with phabUI at 240 dpi? I mean, I use it and it's great, comfortable the left/right noty/quicktogs swipe mode, there's no better ui for me, except the phoneUI if another way of quicktogs accessing is implemented (idk swipe the 1st time -> noty, the 2nd time swipe you get quicktoggles... instead of the 2 fingers swipe or the stock button... )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
Getting OT, but this is the beauty of having choice and there are alternative lockscreen choices in the market for people like you.

TecTiles seem like an expensive and super cool way of avoiding swiping to change settings for cases of: leaving the house, getting in the car, arriving at work, etc. Maybe not for you, but I'm getting some soon

In the end, if someone wants to see their gmail widget and is willing to take the privacy risk/reward tradeoff then good for them and who are we to criticize, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
what? thats crazy. i would not use a phone if it did that to me. :mad: there must be something wrong, your nexus should boot up and down fine without any issues or losses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
nothing wrong with it. above 240 things can overlap, thats what i said. :o i think if i ever get used to the left/right swipe thing i'll enjoy it too. right now i run phoneUI on my nexus7, but same size as regular phabUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The first time I had this issue was with 2.99+1. I didn't report the bug cuz it didn't really bug me at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Haha Yeh its not major obviously! Just if it ain't broke don't fix it applies sometimes but, as Google hadn't anything in the way of toggles implemented it only 'breaks' some people's experience with cm10s toggles like me. Main annoyance is the lockscreen, which is fast becoming 'full fat'.

I tend to toggle 4/5 times a day when I'm on wifi or intend to leave with screen off so it'd annoy me slightly over time.

Are there any performance improvements in 4.2? I know nothing was really documented but is there anything under the hood?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alovell83:
have you tried reflashing? I no longer have issues...fingers crossed

Edit: based on your reply to Moles this is probably a device issue. Have you tried the stock kernel? Have you tried another ROM or the stock image yet to see if it's with the software/hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I did flash 2.99 beta 3 over 2.99+1, if that counts :confused:

The problem doesn't occur with stock 4.2, so I doubt it's anything hardware-related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Of course, it's personal opinion. But Google shouldn't cut those like myself out of the loop, the choice should be there, inbuilt, don't you think? I know market offers choice but it often isn't so seamless as Googles own implementations are.

Again ill stress I'm not having a go at any body's preferences, just Googles incessant tinkering for the sake of it (at times) I love most of what they do but for me quick clean simple efficient is most important.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
to the contrary right now. 4.2 is slower than 4.1.2. first time i flashed googles OTA stock rom when it came out i was somewhat vexed but its not so bad after all - still better than ics and nothing they wouldnt be able to sort out next update. we could solve some lag already, our recents for instance are considerably faster than what comes normally with aosp. the rest of it could be kernel related - i havent actually tried xda kernels yet. some have suggested it'll speed up performance drastically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parthipanramesh:
Yes but only after a few reboots. After the restore I can reboot the phone 4 or 5 times without removing the android.testrunner... file. It's really weird..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i really wonder what that file has to do with it, testrunner is part of the android framework - it must have a cache file and if it doesnt android will create one at bootup. its a mystery. i still think its that multiuser thing, app restore without taking /data/users/0/... into account cant be such a good idea. its weird though that google didnt update its own backup agent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] houmles:
More info on bootloops..

- adb backup/restore and it's same (-all -apk -noshared -nosystem).

- always restoring just my apps. No system apps/settings.

- I have currently about 100 downloaded apps and found when I restored just few of them (bellow 20) then it's ok.

- No matter what apps I restore, when it's more than about 20, phone gone wild and kills random processes while boot.

- Wiping dalvik (excatly /data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@android.test.runner.jar@classes.dex) is not solution, because when phone starts, dalvik gets recreated again and on next boot cause problems again.

- restored just apps, without data and it's same.

- Tried to extract just apks from titanium backup/nandroid and copy them to /data/app manualy - no way

- disabled google apk check in security settings don't work

- in logcat while boot there is a lot of "E/IMGSRV ( 4740): :0: PVRSRVAllocDeviceMem: Error 1 returned" error. it's looks like there is not enough memory somewhere? this don't happens on other ROMs

Backing up applications to google servers is not solution at least for me because I have lot of apps not from market (and not warez!).

It must be something with aosp and some patches in this ROM, because if I flash another aosp 4.2 ROMs I don't have this problems and stock 4.2 ROM works ok too with tibu restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colors:
Sorry for dumb questions but where can i find options for battery %, lockscreen shortcuts and toogles option.? Went from 2.54 to 2.99 today. Im i blind?

No t9 yet? :s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
the only thing i can think of is multiuser support. but thats basically one flag in the android config. as i said, /data/app is not enough, theres also /data/user/0 which is probably important.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kocai:
Heres what happened to me last night after I downloaded beta 3.

1. I flashed beta 3 and pawitp's gapps. Everything was okay until I noticed that the gapps doesn't have calendar.

2. Went into recovery and I flashed gapps only from the OP. After the phone booted up, I opened the market, some of my apps were gone. Tried to search for it and all the apps that were gone showed as incompatible with my device which is weird. So I flashed beta 3 and the gapps from OP again. No luck, a lot of my apps are not linked to the market (and no, they're not warez).

3. I decided to wipe and flash again but I made a backup first using TiBu. Went into recovery, wiped data & system, flashed beta 3 and gapps.

4. After the phone booted up and I added my Google account, I downloaded TiBu from the market. Restored all my 3rd party apps with data and so far I haven't had any issue except a few random reboots that maybe because of Franco kernel since some people were reporting about it also.

5. I switched to FuguMod r1011 and haven't had any random reboots, System UI crash or FC of any app so far.

This is not me undermining people with random reboots or bootloops but I think if you know what triggers the reboots and bootloop maybe you could get a logcat and /proc/last_kmsg while trying to trigger it. After that posted it here, I'm sure moles and D4rK could take a look at it and see what's causing the issue and hopefully fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
he did make one, the E/IMGSRV ( 4740): :0: PVRSRVAllocDeviceMem: Error 1 returned issue is the same thing that creates that first long bootup. there is something fishy here for sure. maybe im switching off multiuser support and make a build with that, who knows ........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parthipanramesh:
Wait!! PA 2.99 is based on AOSP 4.2 an and not on cm. They're are creating a new rom. The devs will port all features when they have a stable rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] houmles:
ok, will try to play with that folder too and let you know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cap'nC:
Now that I am on beta3, I see a lot of installed apps marked as not compatible with my device in the play store. Examples are play music, swiftkey and maps, to mention a few.

This didn't happen with 2.99.1. Is it my fault or a confirmed issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I have no problems installing Swiftkey. And Play Music and Maps come pre-installed anyway.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashihatred:
Just got into 4.2 boat

phone booted in 3 mins after flashing.

-franco r328

-restored apps from Rom Tool box Pro (my ver is so outdated. my version was from the ICS update)

-no Reboots

-no FC

-no bootloops after restoring,

weird O_O or am i just lucky?

--

noticed that data/data has the same path directory with user/0

when i opened up user/0, it directed me to data/data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
are you sure ? after 4.2 launched i saw some "fixes for 4.2" on its changelog, and i restored all my apps on stock 4.2 with it :P

It does state that it has no multi user support (supports only main user ?)

I'll test PA/tibu/gapps pack when i get back from taking my gf to work.

but its still a better performer ("sustained" at least :P) than custom roms from 4.1.* era xD

-----------

Here are the pack i have posted so far:

http://www.mediafire.com/?5h6da5a94...jnfjfcvinctg8,28my5h3am5ouz2e,qbv49n5nqn6oob4

20121125 ones DO NOT have gallery/keyboard/calendar/whatever was already in the rom, and now they don't delete whats in the rom xD

20121126 ones incorporate more stuff and replace whatever AOSP has with "google versions".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashihatred:
i thinking the same way. unless you add a new user.

havent tried but that will trigger the separate data for each user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
hybrid settings work perfectly for you? i wanna flash this but i think its better to wait for version 3.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
afaik they work fine. the only blemish i see, when i use a non-standard statusbar dpi i see a thin line under the statusbar. that must be a math.round bug, missing one pixel when calculating the floating point screensize. but everything else is fine - all tablet apps i have tried work flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gautam_nexus:
@moles: I did a clean install of beta3 and used the gapps provided in the OP...why am I getting Two calendar apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maroon Mushroom:
VERY impressed with beta 3!

Loving the CM cherry picks, although it would be even better in my opinion to go back to a CM base....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
so you recommend rather than waiting for 3.0 i flash this?

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

the gapps must contain 2 calendar apps, just delete one from system/apps

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

from my experience cm 10.1 is really laggy and less stable than aosp, i feel it would have been worse than the current aosp base
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cap'nC:
Thank you, I reflashed rom and gapps and now all is working again. Maybe it had something to do with my pad/pal settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] someonesim:
Flash 2.99.3 and gapps and trinity a4, wipe cache wipe dal-vik cache, boot up really fast, restore papref, phone ready to go.

Couldnt install new apps that just purchase during black friday, nor able to update apps, freaked me out, then realize my storage left 350MB only, clear some then no issue anymore. Why go such silly error ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] houmles:
I now found that /data/media/0 i symlink to /data/data.

As I wrote, I already tested restoring only app without data and it's same problem.

Can you please try to build test rom with multiuser disabled?

I don't have build environment set up right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
sure, will do. it would be so crazy if thats really the issue. because otherwise we're building standard aosp with standard google blobs and bins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
i like it. really happy with 4.2. the new features are worth it. all aosp roms (that includes cm) lag a bit right now but its not so bad. make a nandroid, flash, let it sift, reboot to get a clear start - and it should be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaLiXs:
@molesarecoming

Just whant to say Thank you ! Milion of thank you ! one for giving a wonderfull rom and the 999 999 other to be present in the Thread !

Really love to run app in tab ui ! especialy magic piano .. is totaly unplayable for me with my oversized finger in 360px ! ... with 600px and expand desktop is playable now !

keep going on !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ridho1:
Hi I flashed the 2.99 from 2.54. I have the latest TWRP, I had done a factory reset before I flashed it. But the problem is the storage card is shown sdcard0/emulated/legacy. Is it normal?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dee8905:
Ok so here goes, dirty flashed the beta 3 over 2.99-1, I noticed a significant performance boost (faster and smoother interface animation), so I stayed on the Phone UI without restoring my previously saved Phablet UI preferences. After about 2-3 hours I noticed I have no more Sys UI crashes, I had several on the previous built, so I was curious and tried rebooting without wiping the cache & dalvik, before, I would get bootloop if I did this, but this time it doesn't. I've tried rebooting another couple of times and it still boot up flawlessly (and I daresay faster).

After that I uninstalled and upgraded some apps, left my phone for a while, and tempted to do another reboot. Sadly, I got my bootloop back.

I wonder what makes it does this? Do logcat still run when we reboot/reboot recovery/wipe caches the phone?

--

Exactly like this

--

Also, has anyone had "the theme was improperly compiled" error when setting some themes? It happened on a couple of mine, is it a 4.2 issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
I thought I had it figured then. I had it narrowed down to 5 apps last night, and two were Max Payne and orbot... I though maybe it was an issue with save games data or paid app data with multi user BUT

then I remembered I have restored gta 3 (and data) and not triggered the bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guillermo1996:
I am completely confused...

I've tried the multi user in my Gnex and it seems to work, so now I want to flash this ROM on my Nexus 7. Is Multi user really functional? I mean, would I get FC, problem with data, etc.?

I had heard that TiBu causes important problems, so in my Gnex I haven't restore anything, is that a problem that will be fixed? Is it a TiBu problem or is it a PA problem (I don't know, maybe you changed some directories and that makes TiBu works weird)?

I'm sorry if the question has already been answered, but I'm been reading the last 15 pages and I'm completely lost :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
we dont know yet. but yeah i guess it'll be soon resolved. theres something odd but i cant say what it is at the moment. i dont have any loops or anything of that sort but that first bootup after factory reset is evidence enough that somethings not right. these issues must vanish for 3+, which is waiting to be released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
I can already report that I broke something with he 20121126 4.2 pack (not the full or mini, stndard). Phone gets no signal, messages app crashes and mobile data settings crashes xD

Will keep testing the other ones :p

Just asking, is that ROM for Samsung galaxy S3 or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Only old versions, search in roms/i9300.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
soon. you need a stable 4.2 base. i talked to bidyut today he says exploidwild has made an inofficial buildtree so hes gonna attempt to port it. but at this point its even rough on nexus, hence the preview tag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guillermo1996:
Thank you, I really appreciate your answer. Take as much time as you need to realize 3+ because it seems the best PA ever right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cocchiararo:
All my packs from the 26th have no phone service or messaging app.

All my packs from he 25 keep the aosp gallery/calendar/latinime

Gallery has no Google sync :p

Dunno what I broke on 26th, will recheck when I get back home.

Calendar and gmail are newer on the 4.2 factory image tho, so those should always be present.

Could not properly test Google restore, since I have 2 step authentication, and i don't have my tablet or my gf phone here. I'm not sure if it was not restoring because I did not set my Google account during initial configuration (had to wait til I restored my authenticator with tibu) or if it was the mysterious reason we still don't know how to fix

Help

Avid fan of the paranoid ROM but I'm having a world of pain now.

Got CWM 6.0.1 but will update to goo Manager recovery when home

Upgrade didn't go well at the start no apns listed and could save any

Reflashed and hanged on the paranoid face at the start. 3 or 4 restarts and each waiting 10 mins

Battery out and it starts

Roll through the install and my android dream is back alive

Titanium restore of all personal apps and I'm rocking.

Leave the office and do a restart (work WiFi blocks so much I can only browes the web so a quick restart kicks my data back in quicker than waiting)

Restart and device is updating and stuck for 10 mins

Battery out and stuck on pananoid face

Re wipe and re flash ROM apps

On train with calls and email thankfully but only HSDPA. No HSDPA+...so only h. No h+

Going to red download the ROM and apps tonight and move over the the too manager recovery

Anyone else had issues?

Paranoid can you help??

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bairdi:
I've been running in tablet UI since before PA was around, so I've never noticed this. When running in phone and phablet UI some apps go to full screen and hide the status bar (nav bar is still present). Play music does it in landscape mode. Would it be a total PITA to add an option to the Hybrid engine to set this on a per app basis?

Been running 299.3 with no issues except that my defaults for the launcher (using Nova) gets reset every reboot. Was getting the bootloops and random reboots on 299.1. Dirty flashed .3 over .1 and the boot issues cleared up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evaradar:
Hmm I see 2.99 version 3 is out as of yesterday. I will wait for PA 3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmstar:
Hi guys. I installed this ROM and having problem

I don't have gesture typing

I flashed latest version / not beta

Then i flashed beta3. Same in both,

After first flash i did wipe data and cache and dalvik cache. I see the trail but it doesn't write anything

I install dictionaries then i click refresh and it says available again, its like its not really installing it. But whenever i type it does give me suggestions,

What do you think?
