Google auto backup does not restore settings and user apps

Hi, I've just clean flashed RC1 with new Slim Minimal Gapps and Google auto backup still does not restore settings and user apps. I have this problem since beta 2.4.

Under Settings / Backup & reset “Back up my data” and “Automatic restore” are ticked. “Backup account” shows my correct gmail .

I turned on Root access for Apps and ADB – first thing I do after system boots.

I rebooted – no success with Google auto restore.

I installed Tibu & Pro key and ES File Explorer, I changed DPI to stock 480, as that’s what I had on beta 2.4 before flashing RC1, I thought that it might had have something to do.

I rebooted – no success with Google auto restore.

I cleared Play Store cache and data.

I rebooted – no success with Google auto restore.

I entered Play Store, accepted pop-up window. Still it shows just 6 Slim Minimal Gapps and 3 apps I installed (TiBu + PRO key and ES file explorer)

I rebooted – no success with Google auto restore.

I cleared Google Play Services cache only, as I was afraid to clear data thinking this may actually be what I want to be restored (right or wrong?)

I rebooted – no success with Google auto restore.

Google Play services shows under Downloaded apps with version 4.1.32 (978161-34) should there be something different? I know Google was updating it recently.

Above finishes my ideas. Anybody can suggest something?

At this point I’m going to restore my apps from TiBu, including Nova settings data, mobile data usage and user dictionary.

anyone tried to take some night shots to check if the problem is fixed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I was also having the backup restore issues but the latest RC1 + AIO gapps work perfect now

Did you format system before flashing? I know you said clean install but that definition is a bit skewed since some people say that when they simply factory reset

Hello guys, even though the battery is at 68% marks in lookscreen me, unloading! You can disable this string?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
Yes I did. I did factory reset in CWM which wipes data and cache, than I entered mounts and storage and formatted system, then I entered advanced and wiped dalvik, then I flashed ROM, gapps and rebooted. That's how I always do it when I say clean flash.

I'm going to restore a nandroid of Google stock rooted and start Slim RC1 clean flash from that point as it's my last backup where Google auto restore was working.

I'll report back.

I mean I did a backup using TWRP, then I did a full wipe, then flash 2.5, new gapps.

After all that is done, I restore using the backup I did earlier on 2.4.

No problems.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tiestoycc:
Thanks! I was afraid that flashing different versions might not work with previous backup.

Just FYI, I had the same issue on 2.3 and 2.4 with Google not restoring my info, but on 2.5 rc with new minimal gapps, everything worked as it should. Clean flash with twrp. Hope you get it sorted.

The new build is awesome by the way. Thanks slim team!

From http://slimroms.net/ home page:

Does it mean there's going to be new build for Nexus 5 today?

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

OK, I'll try once more mounting System before formating it.

I think I was trying it already in 2.4 or 2.3 but it was not changing anything.

Whatever, back to CWM. See you guys soon.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
I'm not sure but I think the issue is not with the ROM that gets built but with the build process, ie the server that is building the ROMs is slowing down and causing some of the ROMs to not fully build. At least I hope that's it...let someone "official" tell us before you believe me :p But I'm about to flash 2.5 now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
If you're following the thread you will have seen kufi put a temporary fix in:

I wouldn't think so as we have hammerhead which isn't mentioned, they're all device names/labels so think they would've included hammerhead if it was included with the issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
The only problem I noticed was that on alpha 1.1 I would put my phone on the LG orb for wireless charging and it would notify me it's charging and work great. On 1.2 there's no indication that my phones charging. So, I went into plug into power options and selected to make a sound when charging, went to charge and no sound was made. So went back into power settings and it was back to being unselected. Other than the little power issue though, 1.2 is running great. It's really smooth with good battery life. The new included nav bar options work great. Played around with all the nav bar settings and they all seem to function as intended. Overall a very good update. :thumbup:

Hi guys,

just got my N5 and decided to flash SlimKat. Few questions though:

-I've downloaded the latest version of the rom 1.2 but the gapps are for 1.1 . Shoudl I flash these gapps or is there a ver for 1.2 ?

-Someone reported that paranoid gapps work with this rom, whats the difference between slim gapps and pa gapps?

-as I use hangouts to handle my messages can I get rid of messaging app completely? Same thing goes for 'Internet' browser as I go for Firefox?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
yes 1.1 gapps are good to go...did not update the version number

yes @pa gapps...difference PA includes some apps from playstore we do not due that ppl can download it...but main difference is the play store...our is multidpi PA's not...so if you flash pa gapps it is recommend to flash a multidpi playstore which can be found on xda easily

and yes and yes to your last question :)

Yes its baked in the latest build. Just skip the activation. Even before I was rooted and had a custom ROM going on this sprint told me to skip that activation screen when I was doing my first boot. All is running well for me.

HDR+ missing - Nexus 5 camera

What happened to HDR+ option in the Nexus 5 camera settings and how can I get it back? It greatly improves the Nexus 5 camera picture taking ability. It's there on stock ROM, missing in SlimKat. Or at least I can't find it anymore.

HDR+ on Google Nexus 5 detailed: smarter, reduces motion blur

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HDR-on-Google-Nexus-5-detailed-smarter-reduces-motion-blur_id49297

The Nexus 5 camera has taken some criticism, but this built-in option addresses almost all the complaints. I immediately turned it on, when on stock ROM. How can I get it back?

Clean flashed rc1.. felt it was time to clean up.. Very smooth experience.. Backup restore worked flawless
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
Google auto restore does not work

Clean flash RC1 with new Slim Minimal Gapps. CWM: Wipe data, cache, dalvik, manual format system.

This time additionally to my regular procedure I manually mounted System before formatting it.

First thing I see in notifications is a triangle with exclamation mark saying:

An application requires installation of Go..

Requested by com.google.android.gsf.login

I go to Settings/Apps/Google Play Services:

com.google.android.gms

version 4.1.32 (978161-34)

I click on the notification. This brings me to Play Store with pop-up window:

@By using Google Play, you agree to the Google Play Terms of Service”

I tap “Accept”

Google Play services in Play Store opens showing options: OPEN or DEACTIVATE.

Version 4.1.32 (978161-34) Updated Jan 16, 2014

The same as stated on my phone earlier on.

I click OPEN which brings me to Google Settings screen and that’s it.

Nothing happens.

I go back to Play Store and go to “My Apps” INSTALLED tab – there are only 6 apps from Slim Minimal Gapps package. Under ALL tab there are all my apps previously installed/kept or uninstalled.

Reboot - Nothing.

Clear cache and deleting data from Google Play store and Google services framework in settings/apps/all

Reboot - Nothing.

I noticed that when I open Browser it asks to sign in, I confirm on few pop-up and then I see Google Play services appears on recents list, but nothing happens when I tap it, it shows for a fraction of second

Signing in

This can take a few minutes.

and phone comes back to home screen.

Misunderstanding - I meant back to recovery to try with another clean flash in CWM.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yak84:
The google play services thing happened to me as well, i think it's because play services being updated when you first boot after the flash and some google services that needs the play service are loading and can't find the play service ,for it being updated, and therefore the temp error.

Fyi google backup worked just fine.(slim AIO gapps)

Oops, my mistake! Cwm is good. Tried twrp a long time ago and only had problems. Only time I had trouble with cwm was when it first hit the droid x. Twrp had trouble mounting and/or unmounting system partition, and I think that problem came back for the n5.

Sometimes I find clearing play store data after a clean flash can help play store funk. I've had to do that a couple times in the past, but sounds like your trouble is history - good thing!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I flashed the rc1 last night with new gapps with twrp and no issues at all for me. I just go into wipe --> advanced wipe and wipe all except internal storage then do a factory reset for good measure. Then go to install and select the ROM and gapps and latest su binaries and flash all at once. My apps tried to restore themselves a couple times. I just stop that as I just restore with TiBu anyways, but if anybody is having problems getting apps to restore, that's the method I used that works.

If you don't wipe you're /system partition then not.

Hi Juba, it seams your self adjustable custom tiles didn't make it to RC1. I made my GPS custom tile and it's not changing itself accordingly to manual changes done in Settings/Location: Battery saving/High accuracy, like it does on your beta 2.4 test build. The other way around it works fine.

I see something changes with triggering arbitrary key 26. In LMT key action 26 used to simulate Power Button short press > Screen off and key 1026 long press accordingly (1 sec. of key 26) which is triggering Long press on Power Button opening Power Menu pop-up window.

In RC1 key 26 does not work as Power Button short press. Instead it works as long press straight away opening Power Menu pop-up window.

I can set "Go to Sleep" from Slim Shortcuts as LMT shortcut, but it is moody unfortunately. I mean once it switches screen off instantly, other time, after pressing home button it lags 3 sec. before finally switching the screen off.

adb logcat attached, taken straight after reboot. First trying LMT with Key 26 which triggers Power Menu pop-up window as well as LMT with Key 1026.

Then I set LMT shortcut to Slim Shortcut "Go to Sleep". I press home button to to go to home screen and use LMT to switch screen off with Slim Shortcut and it lags. Then after turning it back on I press LMT pie button and It switches screen off instantly, I repeat it few times, always instant screen off. Then I press home button and LMT using Slim Shortcut Go to Sleeps lags again. The pattern is it always lags after using home button prior to it, either from Nav Bar or from LMT Pie Home button.

I'd appreciate if yo could take a look at it. Key 26 worked instantly to switch screen off up until beta 2.4 included. Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
not to be rude, but when you have an issue, step 1 should be to try to see if a clean flash will fix the issue (you can always restore back to nandroid if issue persists). step 2 is to ask others if they have the same issue.

that said, i don't use uccw anymore so i can't answer your question, but it would take less time trying a clean flash than it would to wait for a possible response here.
