i did a nandroid backup after installing setcpu and when i restart everything force closes. cant even get a signal or see contacs or anything. uninstalled setcpu to see if that was the problem and it wasnt . tried to do nandroid restore and same thing. tried to repais ext sd. still nothing. what is up?
After restore fix uid's.
i had to format sd and re partition it came back now i have to download all my apps again. what did i do wrong with the nandroid backup and how can i prevent this from happening again? also was there a easier way to fix it then starting over?
Maybe try to wipe system and ext before applying the nandroid backup

I went into recovery mode and cleared my dalvik cache and things came back to normal. However, random apps still fail like Google Maps search.
I apologize if this post isn't very clear, I'm tired and English is not my native language...
I upgraded to Cyanogen's 5.0.7 Test 5 ROM not too long ago from CM 4.2.14.1. Before doing that I backed up my app data wit Backup for root users. I haven't done that before, so I checked multiple boxes, not knowing which one was the correct one. The tutorial I followed then stated I should check the SD-card to make sure only app data was backed-up, and no system data.
So I checked and found only maps from my apps.
So far so good.
However, when I restored the app data, my home screen got messed up. It thinks the fourth screen is the center one (so it goes there when pressing the home button) and all widgets say "Problem loading this widget". Also I can't change anything. I Can't remove or rearrange widgets or shortcuts. If I try to do so, Android crashes (FC on android.process.acore).
I'm pretty sure it is completely my own fault, not a bug in the ROM. When I restored the data I must have corrupted the file in which the home screen data is stored.
So, finally my questions: Is there a way to restore this without doing a wipe (I'm guessing re-flashing without a wipe will still keep the corrupted settings)?
If anyone can tell me which file is responsible for the home screen settings, can I delete it so Android will restore it with a new (empty) one?
Can I replace it with someone else's? Or extract it from a ROM-file?
That are the solutions I came up with. If its easier to just wipe and re-flash, tell me and I will do so. I just hoped there was a way I can prevent having to set up the phone all over again...
Thanks in advance!
Did you nandroid backup? If you did, restore it and backup all your apps using Titanium Backup. Backup for root users has always gave me problems as well. Titanium Backup allows all the same options that you need, but just works better imho.
If you didn't nandroid and can't do that - I'm pretty sure a wipe is your only option. You can try fix_permissions from the terminal, but I don't think it's going to fix your problems.
I did do a nandroid backup, but that was just before I flashed CM 5... I guess restoring a nandroid backup from my CM 4.2.14.1 setup is not a good idea?
Hmm, guess I will be re-flashing this evening Thanks anyway!
EDIT: I will use Titanium from now on... I had heard of it, but the tutorial I followed used Backup for root users...
Restoring a nandroid backup is NOT bad at all. That's what its there for. It doesn't matter if you nandroided a completely different ROM then flashed CM5. Flashing a new ROM doesn't affect the nandroid backup EVER.
You flash a nasty, nasty ROM and are like, "Oh ****!" Just go nandroid.
I usually wipe all data/cache before restoring, but some people don't. Either way, it completely restores your phone to the state it was at before backing up. This includes applications and everything. (App data, system settings, app settings, etc.)
I thought nandroid just restored system files and settings... But if it completely restores my phone, a might just as well wipe and re-flash since it will restore it to the previous ROM.
Thanks for the info, I have learned some more about my phone
Just noticed I haven't been getting gmails emails with eb01 SC 2.2....if I open up gmail and manhally refresh it will pull them but won't do it on its own....already wiped and so on
You probably restored system data. Don't do that.
Elaberate a little...and....how do I fix it?
When restoring with Titanium, restore missing apps&data only. If you restore system data, there are some things that are safe (keyboard info, APs and bluetooth, etc.) but restoring anything having to do with your google account will screw up sync big time. There's an involved process that might fix it, involving clearing every google account/service's data and re-adding the account, but it's easier just to reflash.
I restored system but only from recovery...
I restored system but only from recovery...I dont use titanium at all...thanks for the help I will post later if I fix..
I was using VU 1.31, and most everything worked fine on it, including lock screen shortcuts. Did a titanium backup, wiped and flashed 2.35. Lock screen shortcuts worked fine until I restored my titanium backup info, then the short cuts disappeared. I could still change the shortcuts in the settings and stuff, but on the actual lock screen there are no shortcuts, any ideas on how to get them back?

a reboot should do it. that happened to me too. if that doesnt help try a hotboot.

you have to remember that they changed bases on the update from 1.31 to 2.35...
so that being said, certain system files and such moved around. also, it is never recomended to restore system apps and/or system data when there is a base change in a rom. i hear people say that they restore market apps and data, which i find to be ok, but i just enjoy going through and setting everything completely clean, so that i can find all the little things that may have changed and such...
i would bet that if you do just a clean install and set it up like normal, you wouldnt have this problem,
I did try and reboot, just tried hot restart on your recommendation to no avail, suppose I'll have to do a fresh install
I was trying out a few roms, and when I went to rstore, I got error messages on startup. Mtf storage is not sonething, system gui something something... worst part is my notification bar, clock, and pull down is absent. Any ideas?
Band Rood was supposed to be nandroid... autocorrect...
Actually, I fixed it. I just kept reinstalling my nAndroid until it booted up right!
