Does not matter just turn it up then down its a known bug and a known fix. It works for any sound related issues.

Confused though... why are you restoring apps since Google will do this for you. The only thing you need to restore is apps you side loaded. Also think about it if you are trying to restore apps from GB or iCS it may not work properly. Going from one OS to another you should always start fresh. Laziness with restoring apps can cause more harm than good.

Sorry just had to say your Sig cracked me up the first time i read it.

On to something topically relevant.. when it comes to backup had anyone tried backing up just the data partition and restoring it to avoid app reinstallation?

In twrp i did it for the 9-22 build and am waiting for any ill effects but if anyone has more experience with trying this method my ears are open.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] youngwake:
Restoring or not restoring data is not gonna stop SOD's or RR's. If you recall the first few batch of CM10 never RR or SOD or even screen flickered. It's a matter of the processor parameters. Give it a little time it will be ironed out. one could go a day or a week no RR or SOD, but lol its going to happen.

No need to update. You are free to try any ICS radio you want. Different radios will give you different results as far as reception and data speeds go. Its all dependent where you live.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I am trying apps2zip just to see how well things turn out but just as an experimental thing but not as a norm. It restores data app and app data. Honestly though like I have said before is that 20 minutes or so really gonna hurt us just to wait.

I agree with you on the SOD or RR part but restoring data if made to be a bad habit at times can effect how well your system runs. I have had success with dirty flashing but on the other hand it has caused me great issues as well. I would say just to keep issues to a minimum promoting restoring data is not a good idea since it then becomes difficult for others to troubleshoot.

I see way too many bugs people report that I never see and its because of bad flashing habits I would assume. We complain about too much crap in these threads do things right the first time and maybe we can remedy that... IMHO

Edit: One other thing I was on AOKP for 2 weeks with no SOD or RR but others talked about it like crazy. I am now going to try the same thing to see how well this puppy runs

Well I flashed it today restored apps with NO data, set the min cpu speed to 432mhz and governor to interactive and I got 3 RRs within an hour. Am I missing a step that is not in the OP or something? This is really frustrating I want to use this rom badly but it keeps messing up on me. Oh google restore my apps that is why I used TB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
I too flashed this and got 2 Sods, the people who aren't getting sods what settings are you using? Are you changing CPU? Or letting it as default?

I'm running build 9-19 cpu @ 192 min 1512 max in call @ 432 min 1512 max using interactive governor with noop, auto update for play store unchecked and have had zero rr or sod. Hope this helps.

Edit: Only thing I did different from OP is flash gapps right after flashing rom, did not reboot then flash gapps. Flashing this way made my apps start loading automatically from play store, any side loaded apps were loaded via TB. Hope this helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazeecracker:

I am able to see them from my computer, but they are already mounted without me doing it on the phone. Plus, I'm not able to see my backed up apps in Titanium backup. When I do a search in the preferences of Titanium it finds the folder with the apps, but I'm not able to see them when trying to restore any apps.

Also, every time I open Titanium and ES File Explorer I get a prompt to allow root access from Superuser. Yes, I select the option to remember my selection.

Edit #2: I redid all the steps and the spinning cyanogenmod screen disappeared quickly. Will continue to test. Thanks OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:
You can just wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and flash the new rom over the old one.

However, as everybody knows, it's a good practice to backup your data, app and then "super wipe" all and flash the new one. Doing this, you'll minimize chances of problems, bugs and so on ;)

Have fun!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:
It's recommended ;) Personally I always do that. So I can really search for bugs and problems without the shadow of the old rom. :cool:

A personal tip, first run the thederekjay script to wipe, after that go through the wipe data.. bla bla format factory reset bla as it is at the op ;)

So just so I understand are we saying its ok to restore apps and their associated data between nightly builds but no system data?

Or are we saying just apps and no data of any kind?

this would represent a huge amount of time to do since I have a lot of settings to go through and custom themes etc.!

Understand I am speaking only between these nightly build roms not aokp or cm9 or anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Been trying to get people to try this for a while now. In call setup is important especially since that seems to be the only constant with most of us. I ru n an in call setup and never have issues wit SOD or RR
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mista513:
Wipe system, cache and davlik. Flash rom, gapps, wipe cache davlik. Reboot, and all your apps will still be there. Even the CM site says to do not that way when upgrading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I would suggest if restoring and time is a concern of yours .maybe nightly are not for you. You can restore any way you like and you can restore system data and apps data but if you have errors or issues you will have to start from scratch with a clean install. Basically the choice is yours.

Most flash nightlys because of an addiction but that addiction is time consuming :D

Since something like the 18 or 19th, they have been working flawlessly on this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
ok cuz I have really never had an issue with them since some of the earlier in the month nightlys. I have been on AOKP for past 2 weeks and have not seen an issue there either. They come on when they are supposed to and bln works fine. I use TWRP and usually do a clean install unless I am lazy. Since its nightlys and I will be flashing over it I test things out alot. Glad you found one that works but I would give the other roms 1 more try and do a clean install and see what happens.

Hi guys, I've been using the 9/15 release and it worked for about a week but now I'm having problems with random restarts and sometimes it doesn't even turn on until I take out the battery. I would like to ask if the bluetooth issue where you connect a bluetooth device and then there is no audio heard is fixed with the 9/23 build. I don't mind using an older build but I would like to know what's pretty much the most stable build I can use everyday. I love this rom a lot and thanks a lot for the hard work.

Another question is for backups, I've used "app2zip" to restore my programs but I wasn't able to restore the data for any of the programs also. Is there a way to get the data as well? How app2zip works is really good that I'd prefer it than titanium backup which I've used before. I've used the free version of the app, please let me know if what I'm looking for is in the pro version so that I can buy it.

Didn't want to highjack Lollipop's work so I want to give him/her credit here. Saw this in the thread for my CM10 Captivate. For those who are flashing dirty and not keeping a good backup, it looks like they are moving to LVM so the data structure will change. From what I gather we will be going back to /datadata again? Regardless, one of the next few compiles will wipe what you have.

An advance warning for those flashing nightlies without looking at changelogs:

There will be another partition layout rearrangement soon. That means your /data will be wiped clean again. Check the changelogs carefully if you're grabbing a new build and remember to make backups.

Additional info:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23778/

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23779/

Additionally, once the patches are merged, you should not use any modded kernels until they are updated to support the new partition layout.
