Since in my cotanct's list, all the contact's photos is came from the faceook by facebook for HTC Sense,However, i flashed a rom that isn't HTC sense but i think it's fantastic (except without facebook for htc sense).Hence, I put the facebook for HTC sense from the offical rom however when i install it, it cannot be installed.May someone helps to make a facebook for HTC sense is available for all android rom, a big thanks by heart!
[Android Software Development] Meaple:
HTC Sense uses it's own framework so you would need to port it or what ever. Why don't you just install the Facebook app and then sync your Facebook contacts, with your phone contacts? If they don't join then just edit contact, press menu > join. Job done. Google isn't that terrible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiftone:
I've been playing around with stuff today and wanted to install Amon so that I could create an EXT4 partition for InsertCoin Rom.

I had to use fastboot to push Amon v2.0.0 to the phone.

I then made my ext4 and installed a different ROM (oxygen) so that I could put Clockwork back in.

I downloaded clockwork and installed from the App.

Now when I turn phone on holding vol down I get Amon

but

If I go into Rom Manager and reboot into recovery I get Clockwork.

WTH?

Any idea why Amon isn't gone and how I can get it gone...?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
ROM Manager (****, delete now) flashes CWM via a ZIP file copied to the SD card and is a fake-flash. It's the old method. As you've got AmonRA just use that now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiftone:
Is there a link to the clockwork mod recovery img ? I can only find zips - are they flashable through fastboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Do you WANT CWM? I prefer AmonRA myself. As for links, check ROM development - they're all in there
[Ideos S7 General] spikey911:
My co-worker is going to sell my his Ideos S7, but he seems to be unable to do a factory wipe, and thus will not part with it until he does so.

He says he followed the directions on how to do the factory reset, but it continues to sync his Google account.

Any ideas on what could be done?
[Ideos S7 General] raduque:
From the home screen, he pressed Menu, Settings, Privacy, and then Factory Data Reset? Did he let the process complete all the way, including the two reboots (it reboots once in recovery to wipe, then reboots again into the OS)?

I've used the Factory Data Reset to wipe my tablet 3 times now after messing with it, and never had my google account comeback automatically.
[Ideos S7 General] pvella:
Be careful because it has been confirmed that this method does not remove the intial google login. This means that the new person that uses the device can access your google account and gmail potentially.

Can someone confirm this?

The best way is to flash a new firmware ROM from Huawei.
[HD2 General] hd2simon:
Whats up everyone, quick help here. I got a hd2 from someone and they tried to flash the phone to dual boot android on it. The guy was unsuccessful in doing so as a result the phone now freezes when it boots up and i would have to take out the battery to turn it off.

Do I have to flash the phone back to the original windows 6.5 rom to resolve this?

any help is appreciated
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Depends on what you finally want to have on that device.

If you want to go back to WinMo 6.5 as major OS, it certainly is the easiest way just to flash a stock ROM.

If you still want to continue with a NAND Android build, maybe it´s enough to check the versions of SPL, Radio ROM, and MAGLDR - as well as the Android ROM that was flashed. Could have been a bad flash after all.

But since your data is extremely meager, no way to give a generic and easy hint.
[HD2 General] hd2simon:
thanks for the incite..first i want to get it bak to factory settings so i will want to flash it back to the original rom.then ill look into flashing it myself with the droid rom without windows..no dual boot.

do you have a link i can follow to flash it back to the original windows rom?
[HD2 General] mrnnec:
same problem Please help

Hello there I was the same problem with my HTC, I can't flash it back to the original rom. It's just frozen at the boot loader... What should I do? It's not recognize on my pc...
[HD2 General] ricenoodle:
what do you mean frozen at the bootloader? it won't recognize if you plug in usb at all?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sjf1:
So who's used their real windows live id on WP7(HD2) and who is waiting for the WP7 update to see if microsoft start banning?
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheOnly1:
MS won't ban anybody. Just do your homework. They have already stated that they are not supporting the HD2 officialy, but they don't mind ppl; installing it :D

And why would MS wait for the update to start banning HD2 users :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sjf1:
maybe they are waiting just like they do on the xbox360 just before an update occurs they start banning
[Windows Phone 7 General] uristic:
The only reason for banning xbox users is because of piracy, HD2 users presents profit due to ability to access the market. Do you think MS will refuse your money ? I don't think so $.$

I think you shouldn't be worried about this... I would use my real WL account if I were on your place.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
they actually do loose out in the actual cost of the OS though. All OEMs pay a licence fee for each handset the OS goes on. You putting it on your HD2 subverts that cost, and therefore MS is not properly being paid for you using their OS.

So it isn't a complete "do it and MS has no problem with it".
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
It's only a $15 licensing fee. I, personally, have spent well over $15 in the Marketplace on my HD7 and I suppose an HD2 user would follow suit. I think MS understands this. As long as they can put better security around XAPs, I think they're definately better off allowing it than not allowing it.

They said what they have to say to save face with OEM's but didn't sound like they minded all that much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Actually, no where have I read that they don't mind it, and I've actually read that they're working to put a stop on the activation codes being handed out. Problem with the HD2 is that most of the time it comes unlocked with chevron, and I can guarantee you that most people who won't pay for the phone, are likely to go pirate most of the paid apps... Just my opinion there. I wouldn't doubt it if Microsoft deactivates a lot of those HD2 devices and then bans the users in the future...
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
you do realise that the market place forwards a lot of money to the publisher/actual developer. you pay $0.99, they may get like 10c or something. i don't know how much they take, but it isn't the whole thing otherwise devs wouldn't write for WP.

and it is also the principal. you want to use someone's work, you pay for it, not steal it. if you stole a car just because "you wanted to drive it" would the seller/manufacturer be ok with that? no. well let's make it more in line with how it works... so you have a HD2 (make this the body of the car), are you going to steal someone else's engine to make your car (HD2) go better?

Hi All,

I recently changed my GPRS settings to a different APN and since then I don't get any animation of the arrows. Data is still going in and out but I don't see any activity on the arrows. I should point out that at about the same time I installed a GPRS data counter but have since removed this.

Anyone else seen this and have any idea how to get it back working again without doing a full reset. I have powered off and on to no avail.

Cheers

Dave...
[General Questions and Answers] BelgianAtheist:
I checked the "Auto-sync TB settings"

Then do a full wipe, reinstall TB (or launch the TB included in the ROM) and re-check that check box ... and

NOTHING

My filter labels don't reappear.

Everything else works fine, how does that setting work, is there a file on the SD card somewhere that I can check to see if TB created it fine?

I have the paid version and am now using 3.0.0.7 on Starburst 1.2.1

After 4 times re-classifying 300 apps I'd really like to solve this, what am I doing wrong, what can I check to make sure those settings are saved?

It is really hindering my ROM installations ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] BelgianAtheist:
Since no-one seems to have this problem I did some investigating myself and found a database called "custom" in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/ this seems to hold the filter information, I'll be keeping a copy of that next time I do a full wipe in case that "Sync" setting doesn't work again.
[General Questions and Answers] jgrimberg1979:
Nice Find dude! I was looking for a solution and you got it!
[General Questions and Answers] BelgianAtheist:
Lately it has been working well for me.

I've also found where the backup on the SD card is, it is in:

[sdcard]/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/

Here is a settings directory with the labels db and all settings and it also has a licensing file so that a fresh install knows you have the paid version without having to connect to the Market.
[General Questions and Answers] Cloonix:
Thanks.

But i don't understand how to solve the exact same problem as you had before. I know that this directory exists and the labels are saved there (/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/).

You make a backup of this folder on the SD card and after wiping your mobile phone you restore this folder and start TB afterwards?

I hope you still track this topic :-)

Thanks.

EDIT: At least i found a workaround for me. Seems like TB overwrites the Sync folder. Therefor i've installed a ROM (after wiping), installed Titanium Backup, made all my settings (encryption, labels, pro key, dropbox settings) and made a ROM backup with ROM Manager. It's not what i want. But i can live with that for now.
[General Questions and Answers] theoretically:
I have this same exact issue. No fixes yet
[General Questions and Answers] Cloonix:
I wrote the TB support and they've requested some additional information. I hope they will fix it.

The support said TB has problems with dual sd devices.

I own a HTC Desize Z which is not a dual sd device.
[General Questions and Answers] Honusnap:
1 - Replace files in SDCard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\ with your backup.

2 - Wipe Titanium data

3 - Start Titanium ..

Thinking it is it first start it will restore settings... don't know why it do not work the first time after flashing...

Seems that it do not check "Auto-Synced" settings on every start, only first start (empty data)
[General Questions and Answers] jjak:
I have the same problem.

I hope it can be solved.

=======================

2011.12.21 Update

hi, guys, I found another app can restore TB's settings.

Delta Backup(market.android.com/details?id=com.ds.deltabackup)

u can use Delta Backup to backup "Titanium Backup".

When reinstall TB, just use Delta Backup to restore TB.

It works!
[General Questions and Answers] lost_:
This works - THANKS! Luckily, I had backed up /sdcard/data before the wipe.

Easy enough to have a script to do this, or TB can add a feature to copy /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TB to /sdcard/data-backup/com.keramidas.TB whenever the app exits or is terminated, then look for that directory during its first start.
[General Questions and Answers] crammed174:
Unfortunately it seems we are a tiny minority. Theres practically no info on label deletion online or in the wiki. This used to happen often when I was flashing almost weekly but I haven't changed ROMs in a while and a sense rom I just tried had a modified TB included and it deleted my highly detailed labels. It should at least keep a cache of the old setting temporarily. Even my iPad does that in cydia when you change a plist. Gonna try restoring a nandroid with sdext, super outdated though. Kinda ridiculous that a great backup app's greatest weakness is backing itself up. I still get occasional licensing issues too so who knows.

Anyone happen to know a way to restore recently overwritten data either in the phone data/data or sd/data?

Here's to a useful daily update!
[General Questions and Answers] Cloonix:
That's really weird. And the TB support doesn't even know what I'm talking about. After it got too complicated for them, they stopped writing me. Maybe someone should write them again and show TB support this topic.

I'm trying to fix this issue with symlinks. I will create a backed up ROM with ROM Manager where the database file links directly to my sdcard. I think this should work.
[General Questions and Answers] chrigist:
Galaxy S3 Problem Solved!

Thanks man, this saved my problem.

The SD-Card in the SGS3 is in mnt/extSdCard, which means I also had to change the path for the backup folder to get it working.

There is also the possibility to manually import these settings to TB by opening the files in SDCard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\.
[General Questions and Answers] Cool Cake:
I agree. This is probably the most straightforward approach.

Although..., I have to say, the the last time that I re-installed a fresh (from the Market) not an apk on my sd (my normal M.O) my labels were restored. Who knows!

Oh and as far as TiBu even knowing of or handling this issue, I still haven't heard anything from them after writing to them.

I guess every great warrior has a weakness.
[General Questions and Answers] charly_0.0:
Thank you fixed it for me
[General Questions and Answers] isangelous:
I was having this problem after including titanium backup in my rom. I think the problem is this:

System apps are allowed to start at boot (user apps aren't until they have been run at least once by the user)

Titanium backup starts at boot to check it if it needs to schedule any tasks

Sometimes this will happen on the first boot and before the sdcard has mounted, and it will fail to load the settings.

When you later run it yourself it will wipe the previous settings from the sdcard.

For now to get around this each time you install a new rom which includes titanium backup you can go in to settings and force close / clear data before you run it for the first time. Your previous settings should still be on the sdcard and will now be imported.

I will contact the developer about this - hopefully it wouldn't take much to fix.

[Edit] Thinking about it, pre-ics the boot permissions weren't enforced so this might happen with it installed as a user app too if you reboot before running it.
[General Questions and Answers] ChromJ:
I am still not clear

1-there are 2 copies of the "data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup"

One on the internal memory and one in the external memory. Which one I back up and later over write .

2-How do I wipe titanium data?

Sorry if the questions sound stupid but I am stuck

------------------------------------

edit

I found the answers

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Delosari:
Hi!

Would you mind to post your answers? I am also interested in learning this...

Does anyone know if these problems we are having are due to the fact that some devices have both internal and external sdcards? (like the transformer family)

In preferences we are able to change the location of the back up copies but not the location of the titanium back up user configuration (labels, profiles, set up...)

Every time I have tried to use TB I end up loosing my TB configuration... quite annoying!

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Szczepanik:
Apps Organizer

An easy way to restore your labels in Titanium Backup (TB) is to use the recommended program Apps Organizer (AO) .

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.code.appsorganizer

Assign labels using AO and you can see and use them to filter TB. Export the labels from AO. In your new ROM install AO and Import the labels. You will see them in TB in your new ROM and can use them to filter.

You may find my related Wiki is helpful:

[General Questions and Answers] bigbuc:
:

AO is helpful. I just restore AO with Data. Some things AO does not, tasker plugins for example.

It is ironic TiBU doesn't have a straightforward way to backup its settings.
[General Questions and Answers] durangatang:
This thread needs to be read by the TiBu devs. It should be easier to backup and restore the settings for TiBu itself....
[General Questions and Answers] bigbuc:
what's been working for me is when I flash a new ROM I uninstall the tibu that is in the ROM and install from the market.
[General Questions and Answers] durangatang:
I figured this out too. Kind of annoying, but it works.
[General Questions and Answers] BigBroham1984:
You can also make a zip of TiBu yourself & place that in the root of your SD card & flash it after wiping
[General Questions and Answers] bigbuc:
I haven't had any luck using those tibu zips. I presume the flash like a rom
[General Questions and Answers] WiseManWhite:
Thanks for these solutions! I can't believe the developer hasn't fixed this.
[General Questions and Answers] dwallersv:
Yeah, kinda shocking. I've had these problems off and on since I first started using TB.

As has been figured out here, wiping is the cause of the problem.

I'm developing an app right now that needs to be able to mount and unmount the file system on a USB stick. With the new multi-user support in JB, it is damn near impossible to make a USB stick visible to all "users" -- when in fact in reality there is only one.

I bring this up because I am familiar with the difficulties in trying to use "external" storage in the heavy-duty security sandbox that Android operates in. Still, it is not impossible, and only requires some engineering. Engineering that the purveyors of TB seem unwilling to invest in.

Here's how TB should work: All settings, filters, whatever, persist across any kind of wipe that leaves some sort of external storage intact, without the user having to do anything, check any boxes, etc. Get rid of the "sync" checkbox -- this should be the default behavior of a backup program. Rather, there should be a button to press to erase TiBu's configuration. This is a backup program -- you should have to explicitly tell it to back up its settings.
[General Questions and Answers] trein91:
Hopefully this TiBu settings backup can be done better. Sometimes it ****s up, and I have to relabel close to 200+ apps. Annoying as hell.
[General Questions and Answers] nguyen2011:
Can't believe I'm still having problem with Titanium Backup restore its own settings after years of using it. Their solution of “Auto-sync TB settings” is not intuitive at all, so easy to go wrong, take forever to relabel app.

Just as someone said:

"Kinda ridiculous that a great backup app's greatest weakness is backing itself up"

:(

I rather have a manual way of export / import settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Ashish Goyal:
Wow! I am amazed that this problem is that much old and still no fix has been done by TiBu Team.

I tried Google but this was the only thread on this issue.

I'm gonna try the mentioned methods and see if this fixes the problem.

Thanks to everyone for helping each other.

Hope it works for me too.
[General Questions and Answers] Bivvz:
reviving this thread since I've been looking everywhere but all I get are tutorials and walkthroughs that tell me about how its supposed to work but not how to MAKE it work. I've only been able to transfer labels once and I don't even know what I did differently. I'm going to try a few of these work-arounds as im sure they work but it'd be nice to get it working as intended.

If there has been an update that I missed or a better place to bring this up, i apologize, please redirect me to the right place.
[General Questions and Answers] Night AoX:
Would be nice if labels just synced with the cloud even if it is Google sync API. I just found out labels will not natively sync across devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Androidxt1:
Filter Transfer/Backup

I have found that this works:

1. Copy ALL files in the "file system root/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/databases/" folder EXCEPT the "sysinfo" file.

2. Paste these files into the same folder on the new phone or after restoring your existing phone.

3. Restart Titanium backup. The filters and schedules should be there. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Night AoX:
That works for labels but, do you know anything about transferring over preferences?
[General Questions and Answers] Androidxt1:
Preferences Transfer

I think you could copy the files in the "file system root/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/shared_prefs/" folder and then paste the files into the same folder on the new phone and the preferences should transfer. I have not tried this myself but I think it would work. :)
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
That did the trick :good:
[General Questions and Answers] NitroBAY:
Thanks, only moving directory [root]/data/data/com.keramidas.titaniumbackup worked for me. Weird that one of the most used app, and a frequently updated one, has a function necessarily needed each time you want to reset your phone or got a new one.

Everybody on this thread, or people coming from a search engine, send a mail to their (awful) support to this thread, eventually one will read it.
[General Questions and Answers] Hooin Kyoma:
For some reason TB installed on fresh ROM can't find its own preferences on external SD, which is a problem in my case. So Honusnap's solution (actually a workaround) also did the trick for me. I just copied these files (data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup) from my external sd to internal sd (phone memory), cleared data in Settings>Apps>Titanium Backup and launched TB again.
[General Questions and Answers] solid.snake:
Hi

All of those lasts methods have failed for me.

No way to install any Titanium Backup 7.6.xxx as it will crash at it 1rst launch, only Titanium Backup 8.x does "work"...

I'm really fed up with this lack of functionnality and the sillyness of the sutiation #TitaniumBackup isn't able to backup properly ITS settings. I'm very upset about this problem, and no way for me to restore my filters manually, it has took me years to make them.

PS : There's seems to be an option to backup filters, when you click on the filter button, you should see a button to the left, called "load or save filters" (or something like that)...

Can anyone check if possible if all quoted methods does the trick with TitaniumBackup 8.x , and it this load/save button does work ?

Yours
