extreme problem floyo .20.need help - XPERIA X8 General

can please someone help me?? i had floyo 0.15 and i wanted to upgrade to 0.20. i did wipe cache and than i restored only system partition. after i did reboot, my google account just disappeared. i don´t know why, but i can´t create new one so there is no market or gtalk for me. is there anyone with this problem or it´s just me?

I got this problem ,and i couldnt make it work.i restored everything .

i belive that racht said that you can't restore only system partition without losing google apps - so there's no way to update your floyo that way, you won't run away from a full wipe. but hey, it is worth it, and titanium backup doesn't bite.

You can try it but I recommend a fresh install instead of restoring. You might run into some problems and force closes. It varies for some people. You can always update to 2.2 doba NAND backup and then try your restore of data and if you have problems just use your restore you made and manually install them again. I personally only restore when I'm on the same android version. Good luck
This is stupid...but is there any way to get my saved data for my games back if I fresh install them...in particular the Sims 3.

I honestly don't know I've never played games on my phone. Do you have to login on sims to play it? I'd assume if you did it would probably still be saved.

I have this problem with the game "ninjas live" i loose all of my save data unless i flash backup restore, I need a way to get my same data back on a new rom. titainium and any other backup app does not restore the data on ninjas live like a clockwork restore. But the downside is force closes from the clockwork restore.
Titanium backup.
Ive also done the advance restore through cwm for data after odin flash many times and no problems.
worse case odin back and restore then use titanium b/u.
It does not require a login...but i guess ill update to 2.2 do an advanced restore data and if it messes up ill do titanium backup and if all fails start all my games over
This has been my biggest beef with all the ROM updates/changes as well. There is not an easy way to backup your personal data and restore it without massive force closes here and there...oy vey. Lots of experience with that on my G1
Is there any dev's working on handling this issue right now? Would hate to do it myself....
updated to the quantum rom 2.7 with ext4...did an advanced data restore, and everything is fine so far...no force closes yet...
If you're as lucky as me and a few others. Try just runing the 2.2.1 update.zip. It will keep all your games saves, apps and homepages as they are. But the risk you run is that it might run buggy. I guess its a 50 50 shot.
You might luck out, like me.

[q] freakin weird-no app install on any custom roms..

I. I ve flashed my phone more than 50 times. Last Rom I tried was x 8 arc, and before I had minicm.. all worked fine..suddenly withx 8arc rom it stopped installing apps and when I try to go to settings -applications, it shows me every app but they all say computing and never shows the size of them. I try installing any apps but the installation bar continues endlessly. I repaired the phone back to SE Original and that way I can install apps and it shows me the size of them. I root it again installed minicm, new froyo 0. 20 and it happens the same.... no app install and always "computing" on application manager.. its really weird and i ve tried erasing everything on xrecovery and still nothing... anyone???
why you flashing ROM 50 times?? This is not good for your phone, you shoud format data and system and also cache in xRecovery and than repair with SEUS or PC Companion to get fresh 2.1 and root your phone and put xRecovery and CHOOSE a good ROM for your requirements, so you do not need to flash your phone with different ROM and brick your phone...
Did you try a wipe dalvik cache form xrecovery and did not solve app install issue ?

Yes my friend, I tried everything, factory reset before and after installing ROM, wipe cache partition, wipe battery stats and the rest. I went back to SE 2 times in a few hours and I then can install apps.. tried minicm, new froyo and still can't install apps and in in application manager (settings) they never stop "computing" and I when I try installing apps the installation bar goes on forever. I'm really puzzled and I can't figure out any solution since I went back to SE and tried it all over with no results.. f **k!!!!

are you using BaseBand 015? You must use 015 because 006 is buggy on custom roms...if you don't know what an X8's baseband is, XDA's search bar is your friend
I have a problem with custom roms too, except cm7, thats the only one that works good for me. After i install any other rom, i cant acces internet for some reason... I have baseband 015.

Virtous fusion/unity help wanted

Hey so for people using virtous unity I have a question. If I were to full wipe and install from fusion could I keep my tapfish and other apps which I paid to receive credits in? Cause before I flashed and did full wipe and it would delete all my progress and I titanium back up the data and app but it still didn't work can someone please help me!?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i think if you do an advanced restore in cwm you can choose to restore just the data from your previous rom. i've never done it but you might wanna look into it and give it a try
Titanium Backup works with tapfish, as well as those other games like contract killer, BTG. It may seem like you were just screwed over, but you weren't. Back up app+data, then restore it on the other ROM. First, restore app+data. After Android asks if you want to install the app, install it. Do NOT press open. Press DONE. When you're in titanium, just restore the data to the same app. It will work.
Tl;dr version: backup app/data
Restore app/data
Restore data only ( data is restored twice )
Celebrate.

[Q]How to get back all of your app

Previously I'm on 2.3.2 r800a and my build number ends with .181 rooted, then I update using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
so I create a backup using mybackup root, then flash my phone, but then after my screen turns on, I cant find any apps that I installed.. The only apps there is the pre installed apps on the phone.. So I root it using gingerbreak 1.2 then update it OTA. I have now 2.3.3 rooted then my previous r800a became r800i and the last digits of my build number is .185 now.I download the mybackup root to restore it. So basically almost all of my apps are back.. But when I try to run them almost all of the apps are 'Force Close'
So what seems to be the problem? I can't post my queries at that thread right now because my post count is not enough.
I don't know mybackup, but when you restore do you restore apps only or apps and data? Cuz if it's the last option it can cause trouble and fc's, cuz you're restoring on a different firmware build.
Regards Dousan...
I restore it like the way I back it up. Apk's + Data.. Did I do it the wrong way?
Can you choose apps only when you want to restore from mybackup?
Regards Dousan...
This happend to me to on my previous phone and regularly used to upgrade on custom roms and I noticed this only happend when I moved to a higher or lower android version... I think the data in the Apps have 2.3.2 registered so when you have 2.3.3 it probably recognizes it differently so it FCs try restoring data only or try restoring 5-10 Apps at a time rather than all at once (caused some problems at times when I restored Apps with data all at once)

I also try this. I restore it one at a time but still force close. Unfortunately no luck..
I guess I will just uninstall that apps and games then download a new one.
My point was to only install apps and nothing else, cuz it's the data part that messes up the apps in most cases, on a new FW build number. Some apps and games might need an update to work but most should work when just restoring the apps and no data
I haven't had any issues doing it like that.
Well a clean install might be a good thing.

Sir, no app in choices, only apk & data.. Is the apk supposed to be the app? but that's just the installer.. So if I install it I think it will still use the previous data..
It must be the way mybackup makes a backup and restores it. Titanium does it differently when restoring, you get the choice to restore app or app/data. Yes app is the apk.
I think you're gonna go the long way and install your apps from scratch mate and loose the data you've backed up.
You could always flash 2.3.2 (UK generic 1.84) again, then root and restore apps through mybackup. Then install titanium backup and do a full backup through that, then do the OTA again and once booted into 2.3.3 restore through titanium and this time only apps no data.

Services crashing 2.3.5

So ever since I started some 2.3.5 ROMs I've been noticing that the ROM runs great for a couple of days. Just when I think all is going great services start crashing. Google Services, Email, Browser, Titanium Backup... etc. I'm really not sure what is happening here. I've noticed it on MIUI ROM so I switched over to NoFrills-AOSP and nope still having the same issue. Does anyone else have this issue?
reboot your phone every no and again, never hurts, also, Q&A.
This has happened to me every now and then, and reboot your phone every couple of days is good for it. Could also be you have flashed a different kernel over kernel and not cleaned stuff out.
LoL Yeah this probably belongs in Q&A but what was there at the time didn't seem to Developer-ish looking haha.
Anyways, yeah I've tried rebooting about 5times already. After every flash I reboot twice before really settling down to put stuff back in. That might have been the case when I was doing the MIUI ROMs but the NoFrills-AOSP ROM I have now was fresh from Stock Odin flash. Should I just try a new Kernel maybe?
also happening to me. i reboot once a day but still it occurs. btw im on MIUI
Over time I've noticed the same thing. Similar to a Linux memory leak... No matter what rom, radio or kernel I use the available ram dwindles to almost inoperable speed. A reboot on my Vibrant is almost daily depending on what I do with my phone. Even with CWM, Overstock and Zendroid all together I still have the same issue's, any viable fixes for this?

i knew it wasn't just me. i just rid did my phone back to stock UVJFD. i'm trying to decided if i should just go back to Bionix or maybe try again with either MIUI or Simply Honey. If stock were 2.2 I'd be fine and just stick with it, but its not so I need to flash something AH!! lol

Stop restoring from titanium backup, and just reinstall your apps from scratch.
I had this same issue, found out it was my titanium backup app restores that were at fault.
Ya alot of people don't realize.. you can't use titanium with miui.. use the miui backup app.. if u come from a a different rom, Use titanium to restore, backup with the miui backup app, then reflash miui after wiping system, then restore using miui restore app.. everything should b alot better

TI backup is not necessarily the issue with this. I've had the same problem for the last few week, and I've been using the MIUI backup exclusively. I might've used TI the first time I restored, but every other time it's been MIUI, mostly because it's WAY better.
Hmm ok well maybe the stock Odin I have is 2.1 because that's what it said in the about phone section. Anyways, TI causing a problem? or not causing a problem.. hmm LoL Oh how I love technology conflicts. Well right now I'm sitting on Simply Honey RC1 and so far no crashes yet. I went from Stock to Light then to Simply Honey as instructed. I did restore using TI, but I might flash back to MIUI from Stock and give it another try.
check your datadata partition and see if it's full. since miui is based off cm7, i'm assuming it uses the same partition scheme. if datadata is full, that may be your problem.
