Ok so i started this thread as a result of what happen to me. He is my story, i was on Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/Voodoo and of course i had that backed up along with Bionix 1.9.1 w/Voodoo and JI6 w/One Click Lag Fix. I was having issues with a app (Beautiful Widgets) where i was trying to have the weather how up on the notification bar but it would not come up automatically unless you went into the app and selected "save & apply" every singe time, very anoying. I contacted the developer of the app and the last thing he asked was if i was running the stock launcher. Since Fusion uses Launcherpro i decided to restore my JI6 w/One Click Lag Fix. To my shock when i ran the restore i ended up on Android System Recovery and could not get pass that even if i tried using the other 2 restore points (Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/Voodoo, Bionix 1.9.1 w/Voodoo).
I posted my problem in the Q&A section hoping for a solution but of course i got nothing back, so i found a thread regarding someone being stuck on the Android System Recovery screen just like me. It was mentioned to use Eugenes Froyo that does not brick and then flash the stock JFD rom. After many attempts i finally got my phone up and running but little did i realize that my entire phone got wiped clean, meaning i lost all my songs (over 100) 2 .avi movies, a few wallpapers and all the different Roms and Mods i had installed. Basically my phone ended up just when i first bought it. I was very upset i lost everything but glad that i got my phone up and running again..
So what to do to avoid this? when doing a back up using CWR and if you are running Voodoo, MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE VOODOO BEFORE BACKING ANYTHING AND THEN SAME THING GOES FOR WHEN RESTORING, MAKE SURE VOODOO IS DISABLE. I believe this is a very important point to note but no one has ever mentioned it anywhere in the forum. Yes they advise to do backups before doing anything, they advise to disable Voodoo before flashing anything but never this. If i had known this i wouldn't have spent hours freaking out and wondering what was wrong and looking all over the place and waiting for someone to help me out.
Now i have to spend more time installing everything that i lost and getting my phone back to the way i had it before this happened. I hope this helps and that maybe it goes up in the sticky so people can easily find it.
I would like to thank jdkackley for bring up the fact that Voodoo needs to be disabled while backing and restoring.
P.S. i still can not get the weather to come up automatically on the notification bar, still in constant contact with the dev of Beautiful Widgets app.
I'm assuming you checked "Temperature Notification" in settings.... You didn't say. Are you restoring app + data each time you flash a new rom and not changing the settings of BW's?
I dont understand why you would need to keep going in and clicking save and apply... have you deleted the app, and the downloaded it again?

Yes i did click the "Temperature Notification" and still nothing, every time i restart my phone i wait about 10 minutes and nothing so i have to go into the app and click save & apply, i have also un-installed and re-installed the app and same issues. Thank you for your insight, i still have not heard from the dev in regards to me running the app on the stock launcher so i just have to wait and see what he/she says.
But the main reason of the thread was because it has not been mentioned about how to properly backup/restore if you are running Voodoo.
Do you have any apps like a task manager or autostarts?

only task manager i have is the one that came with the Fusion 1.1 rom nothing else and no auto starts.
EDIT: ok it seems to be working but i only get the temperature in the notification bar about 10-15 minutes after the phone is turned on and is finished with the boot sequence, i thought it should come on automatically. E-mailed the dev on this and waiting for a reply.
I just turned on the notification bar temp... rebooted.
It took about 4 minutes and the temp is showing up.
I have autostarts installed which prevents a lot of apps from opening on boot. Not sure if that helped with my better time. I also have BW set to refresh on wake (and the automatic refresh is like 8 hours or something long).
A great developer... I'm sure he can figure it out. You may want to ask if a logcat is needed... you may want to try an app like autostarts too (free for the 24 hour window, cant hurt).

ok been keeping an eye on my phone since my last reboot 2:10 local time and it is now 2:25 local time and still nothing so i guess we can disregard my edit from last post. i will try the refresh on wake and see what happens.
EDIT: well my phone has been up for 7 minutes and still nothing, very aggravating. just have to wait on the dev.
I tried different leak rom before,
and right now I am using official froyo
Every time after starting up the system, or after mounting the SD card,
when the media scanning is finished, launcherpro is not responding and hanging.
Anyone got the same thing?

Same thing happens to me. I am running official Rogers Froto on my AT&T Captivate. I tried looking in the logs for something, but I couldn't find anything. Send a emails to the developer.
Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up. I have the plus version and running Axura 2.2.7.1 Voodoo.contacted tech support about it and he said that its my rom.can't be. tried 20 different Roms.pisses me off.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.

Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
This is happening to me as well.
If it locks up, try repeatedly hitting home, usually will give me a prompt to wait or fc. I never get this issue on my galaxy tab and it's running 2.2

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.
Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.
cheers

Yes this is what i do everytime after starting up...
But still so annoying and the should fix it.
So just to update on the topic I downloaded Launcher Pro again today and everything works well. No hanging after reboot and no other problem from what I've seen. You guys may want to give it a try.

I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.
I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.

Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...
or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
The only time I've experienced a FC of any kind on LPP, is when I had Colorize running with it. They don't play nice together. Other than that, it's been 100% stable for me with any rom.
I just spent some time trying to figure out what had broken my contacts functionality and this was it. Again, removing "blur_yahoo.apk" and the associated .odex file will break the contacts app. After removal, clicking on a contact in the dialer/contact app will just shut the app down. I've no idea why, since the yahoo app is for yahoo mail.

F**k...I just noticed that too
I noticed that freezing some of the messaging/social services also seems to force close the built-in message app too. If you use something like ChompSMS then it isn't a big deal b/c that still works.

You should probably do some more research before you start messing with that b/c it can brick the OS requiring a full install of the ROM. In this case, if you don't do a restore before removing stuff you'll be restoring the SBF file a lot.
But to answer your question though...the app you want is Titanium Backup Pro (aka the pay version b/c of the "Freeze" option.)

Well since the GB build for the DX just came out, I haven't been able to find a definitive thread anywhere (including on MyDroidWorld) listing what is save to remove or at least freeze. As of right now I think it's safe to say that its going to be a trial and error situation.
There are threads somewhere (droidforums?) about which of the 2.1 and 2.2 apps are safe to remove. While there are some new apps, those that were safe before are still safe. Of the new apps, the blur_yahoo is the only one that's given me trouble. Be warned, though, that while you can remove Backup Assistant and Blur Home, if you do a factory reset from within Android (rather than from clockworkmod), your initial install will break and you'll need to sbf if you can't get back into clockwork.
Also, bluremailengine is needed for blurcalendar to work properly. I remove bluremail, all the third party crap, all the social crap, swipe, and various other things I don't use like universal inbox, widgets, etc. Really, you just need to play with it.

Yea I know about those threads (I have one open right now actually) but since this is a whole new version of Blur & version of Android w/ a lot of changes & new options...who knows what Motorola changed or buried deeper into the system.
Thanks for being the guinea pig though I've never had a reason to use factory reset after a ROM is installed so removing BA & Blur Home isn't a big deal.
One question...have you removed the Messaging & Text Messaging apps at all? I still can't figure out what it was that caused the Text Messaging app to quit on me as soon as it was opened. Not that it's a big deal...b/c ChompSMS worked fine for me
Does anyone else notice a SEVERE amount of lag immediately after you reboot the phone? Lasts about 3-4 minutes every time I reboot then goes away. Affects everything from changing home screens, to opening apps, even turning the ringer volume up and down lags...

That's always been a problem with MotoBlur (and even HTC Sense)...it's all the services that load in the background all at once (even after freezing or removing some services.)

I removed all the messaging crap except the default messaging app (conversations.apk). I use Google Voice so I don't use the default app, but I sent myself a message using it and it worked just fine.
Note: you can do a data wipe/factory reset from within clockwork and you'll be fine.
If someone can produce a list of everything in /system/app (well, just the .apks would do), I can mark the ones I've successfully removed without problems.
Ditto to that...I'd be happy to contribute what I've frozen.

Mine takes about 10-15 seconds from the appearance of the homescreen until it's at full speed. Of course, I've overclocked to 1.2 GHz, debloated, zipaligned, implemented drod's rubix tweaks, and used autostarts to kill unnecessary apps from loading at boot.

Hmm. 10-15 seconds seems a tad excessive then. I'm still running stock speed, LPP 0.8.4.1, debloated most major apps and also used Autostarts to kill some apps at boot (as well as in the Widgets menu)...and while I see a slight lag it's not 10-15 seconds.

You're right. I just timed it. About 38 seconds from red M to full appearance of desktop (I've got the boot animation disabled) and about 25 seconds from full desktop to all widgets loaded and ready to go. I underestimated by 40-60%! I'm using the blur launcher, btw.
Something must be wrong with mine then...because mine lasts a good 3 to 4 minutes...and that seems very long for services to be starting...

So after running rooted Gingerbread for a while now I've noticed a few bugs and was wondering if I was the only one.
First thing is Swype. Yeah yeah, I know everyone has that one. But after uninstalling the old apk with Root Explorer and then installing the beta everything initially worked fine. But my first reboot after the install of the beta Swype force closes every time it trys to open. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't fix the problem. Weird, but not a huge deal to me as I didn't use it that much anyway.
Second, and the most annoying thing I noticed, is the back lit buttons stop lighting up after a certain period of time. The soft buttons under the screen and the slide out keyboard still work, they just don't light up. Rebooting fixes the problem.
Third is the built in battery manager seems to have some issues as well. Although it seems to inherently do a better job of saving battery life than in previous versions of Android. On my phone it sometimes won't come out of it's no-syncing state and allow data usage. Other times it will allow data usage after waking back up, but data seems extremely slow. Again a reboot fixes the issue.
And the last thing I noticed today. Although I haven't had any noticeable signal issues or dropped calls, I was getting drastically different signal readings sitting right beside a guy with a DROIDX at work. As in he was showing full 3G service and I was only showing one bar of 1X and like a -100 RSSI. I realize it's two different phones, but my understanding was that the X and the original 2 were pretty similar.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any of these things or if I'm the only one with some bugs? Or if anyone has any ideas about a solution for any of the issues?
FYI I'm far from an expert, but I'm not a complete Noob either. Although I don't have a ton of posts I've been hacking my cell phone since the days of my Razr and have had and rooted three Android phones to this point.
Anyway, thanks a bunch guys!

Only problem that I have is that using Launcherpro when the home screen is rotated 90 degrees (widescreen-ish) and then rotated back the wallpaper gets a "letterbox" effect similar to what you see on TV's. Haven't looked into it too much, probably just an issue with Launcherpro.

I'm having a weird bug where three shortcuts to games I put on my start screens keep disappearing: Bejeweled, Optime's Hangman and Tic Tac Toe.

The backlight issue bugs me to no end. I try to figure out how to restore it without rebooting but no success so far.
One other issue is that I can't access the multitouch keyboard. I disabled it because I really never used it, but then I felt like using it one day and there is no place to check to use it. I have SwiftKey installed as my only 3rd party keyboard
I'm having an issue with ridiculously low volume on phone calls......any fixes out there because it's hard to use your phone, as a, you know, phone, when you can't hear the other person on the line. I may have to SBF back and wait for the official 2.3 if it doesnt improve.
Rebooting takes care of the call volume problem.
Rooted Droid 2 running Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.20 update
Yeah I had the low call volume too, I think everyone did. It went away after the first reboot.
As fas as the games disappearing. Someone mentioned Bejeweled, that's one of the ones on mine that keeps disappearing. There are a few that do it, I don't remember exactly which ones, but Bejeweled and Stupid Zombies are two that I remember always disappear.

my games are on the 2nd page to the left and for me its stupid zombies, angry birds, angry birds seasons, and angry birds rio that keep disappearing, the other 4 game shortcuts i have don't disappear. I also tried reversing where they sit and the same 4 shortcuts disappeared, even sitting in different locations.
Hmmm, who knows. Even though all of mine weren't disappearing, just certain ones, it got annoying to me. I just deleted the shortcuts from my screen and pull up the games from the launcher now.
It is strange that its only certain games, and that we all seem to have the same ones disappearing.

Not quite everything. The last update left my apps still installed, but cleared all application data including accounts, home screen, etc. I would assume this would do the same. I may install later today and do a diff of the packages to see if there is anything new.
Titanium backup works pretty well to backup and restore the data after the upgrade.
Oh wow! Exciting stuff. I'll try this tomorrow maybe.
I really wish they would put SOME kind of changelog

Would be nice if you could let us know if you found something useful !! they have no changelog and it sucks not knowing what they fixed.
Just tried the update. Seemed to work okay, except when it booted for some reason it wouldn't load the stock Joying launcher. I had to use touch wiz to open Nova Launcher to navigate. Not sure what happened I may try to reinstall the firmware.

Do you see any obvious updates? Some bugs which we saw in last firmware like apps not resuming after standby etc?

That has been solved already by gustden's modifications.
What I'm interested in is have they fixed the too bright minimum brightness of the screen? Apart from that the unit is pretty close to perfect already.

Actually that apk is not working for me outside default launcher U01 :crying: I don't know how it is working for you..
Reinstalled Feb.22 firmware but the stock Joying Home launcher is not working. It seems it didn't install properly or something. But I can revert into Nova Launcher that I had previously installed. Seems CarMediaSettings button has changed names to Car Settings, however I cant turn off the annoying Key Button Tone as the option has disappeared. It's late here so will test more tommorow, but I got the device rooted again. I will try the display brightness shortly. Curious to see if anyone else has problems like this as well.

Working perfectly for me with Apex launcher which was selected as default launcher in car media settings.
My car: Skoda Superb 2013.
My update went pretty bad.
After installation I couldn't get to desktop at all - only blank blue screen (wallpaper) and nothing else. I could get to settings from that floating button, and did full reset and then it worked. It started with the new launcher, maybe I will give it a go.
Haven't got the time to install all the apps etc. again.
Some cosmetic changes, but nothing obvious. Still can't get my parking sensor detections to the screen.
My GPS signal got dropped all the time with last software, hope that is fixed. They already sent me new GPS antenna, waiting it to arrive.
I'm actually really pissed to the unit right now. If my issues with radars and GPS are not fixed with this update and new antenna, I'm sending unit back and go for stock RNS-510.

Try removing Nova completely, and clearing data on the joying launchers. I never was able to have Nova and the stock both installed together. I always had to remove nova completely to use the stock launcher. And vice versa.
my update also went weird. Just went to a wallpaper with nothing except that dumb dot. I could use the dot to get to apps, and go to Car Settings.
however when I go to the 3368 screen, the password to change the UI seems to have changed
So would you say it's best to wait installing this? Seems to be a problematic update...
Thanks for the tip about Backup & Reset to restore stock functionality. 3368 still seems to work for me on some menues but others not. Will do further tests today to see if my GPS is better and anything else worth noting
seems the stock launcher has issues. when i did the upgrade the launcher wouldnt launch no matter what i did. factory reset the unit and the launcher started working, did some customizing of the widgets and then it wouldnt work anymore. i was able to set nova as my default launcher through settings but not through car settings.

factory reset fixed my bugs, seems to be working as normal now, but I am using the default UI3 launcher
I just did the update. Been stuck on the "ANDROID" logo for about 30 mins now. So not sure if i should let it go or try and reboot it via reset button.
