[Q] Titanium pro

may seem like a dumb question but when Titanium Pro backs up system data and apps does it also back up movies in my download folder and stuff like that?

No. Only apps and app setttings.

Are you rooted? Because if not, I can only help by backing up apk's of your apps to your computer.

Try Carbon app. It allows you to back up apps and their settings without root.
Here's a link to the Play Store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=carbon+backup

I didn't like the fact that you have to pay for the premium version. Storage is through USB on the N4 otherwise.

Backup using Carbon, then transfer the backup files to your PC. Then when you're ready, copy them back and restore.
Besides, what's so bad about having to pay a few bucks for such a great app? All devs work hard to make the apps/mods/ROMs/kernels, etc that they do!

No Widgets?

4/15/13
Rooted today using the Qemu method.
I am not showing any widgets or system widgets. Anyone know why this would be happening?
UPDATE 4/16/13
I have widgets again
For anyone having an issue with no system widgets - - I don't have a fix but an experience that may help you, should you have a similar issue. I tried GoLauncher and ADW Launcher and had no widgets. When I used Apex Launcher I had the ability to use widgets again. Maybe its a launcher compatability issue with certain Amazon versions when you root? I dont know the answer as to why I didn't have them in the first place. But try a few different launchers and something may work out.

AppWidgetPicker.apk
Try this one http://db.tt/ET1YivMr
This is a Kinology HD using XDA Premium

Phillyflyer requires first a launcher, and Prokennexusa wrote a nice tuto about that:

It does not require installation. Just copy it to /system/app.

Might want to try disabling it or reflashing your firmware. I, nor any of my geek friends, have this problem with our S4s.

What is it? And is disabling it going to have neg effects? Thanks

Search is your friend:

It looks to me like it is an App. So you should be able to use titanium backup to freeze it. If it screws other stuff up, just unfreeze it. It would probably be a good idea for you to read the description and reviews on the play store link I posted above to see what info you can get from there before you do anything. Good luck.

Use auto starts and just disable it that's what I did

Just clear data for that app instead.

Does push affect regular text messages or just chat?

Why is this happening?

Recently I've been getting this notification when I try to update an app.
How do I get rid of it?

You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.
