Lately when doing a fresh install of a Lollipop AOSP rom it has been showing me "old" KLTE devices, when asking which apps to restore.
The newest is more is more than 20 days old.
Does anyone have an idea, how to force Google Play to show restore the device, that I have used today?

Hi guys, so basically I made a backup of my STOCK rom and then I installed CYANOGEN mod 12 on the phone... Realizing I totally forgot about my contacts I then backed it up and "restored" my old backup of the stock rom which is kitkat. to find that EVERYTHING "stops working" so I cant get to my contacts.
Now heres where I believe I went wrong. I used philz touchwiz and upon my process to flash the phone I did the system/factory reset option or something like that and it asks if you'd like to wipe the phone to install a new rom. I selected yes so I thought that I was good to go and did not go further into the other stuff... I flashed cyanogen mod on the phone and then it said it was "upgrading my apps" ok well thats fine, and it ran great and no issues.... So going back to my STOCK backup after that, all the apps just crash, which I assume is due to still having the old apps which are "upgraded" to lollipop but the apps of course crash on "kitkat"
So, I've read that in a backup it saves all your apps and stuff.. It should return your phone back to exactly where it was when you made the backup. so why is it i'm having the app issues? I guess I need to delete them right?
So what is the options i need to do to get rid of the apps and do a proper phone wiping prior to a backup so that when I load my kitkat backup that It runs fine as it should? Wipe cache? dalvik? /data?, etc etc.... will it erase the main phones memory as a hole or no?
let me know how to correct this, I greatly appreciate it. I've tried googling to no prevail so far.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to restore your KitKat apps onto cm12.
If that is the case, it will keep force closing apps. When upgrading and moving from touchwiz based Roms to AOSP based Roms you can't just restore from backups, the environment is different.
So to carry your contacts, I suggest recreating the same KitKat environment by clean installing whatever ROM you had, let google play store install the apps, then restore your app data only using philz advanced restore option (make sure all other options besides app data or data are unchecked)
Once all are restored, make a backup of your contacts and SMS using call log back up and SMS backup apps from playstore.
Back up any app progress using adb like
#adb -backup -f appname.ab -obb -noapk com.android....
And then do a clean cm12 install, let play store install all apps and start restoring call log, SMS, and your app data.
This takes a while, but it is worth it!
Hi, first of all: i'm kind of a flashaholic.
Depending on certain ROMs, custom, on first boot, google is proposing me to restore my apps from my previous devices. But NOT for all custom ROMs.
Does anyone know what it depends off? Is it related to the ROM? To the gapps? To the the device ID? To first time init? to the Backup transport?
Restoring apps is very important to my coz I bought many apps and I can't re-install them one by one.
I've searched in the treads about restoring/backing-up, I google it, but didn't find anything.
The backing-up is active in the Settings menu. I'm not interested in using TiBck, since I'm using it ONLY for restoring data (migrating apps from ROM to ROM, with TiBckup is dangerous/buggy).
Do you have some information about that? what are the solutions? Can I force, on the first boot, or even after, the ROM to reinstall/restore apps previously installed?
Hope I was clear enough.
Thanks and
Best regards.
Hi,
1. It depends on what firmware and device model you have. Apps that designed for TW won't be listed on list of apps to be imported/restored if you installed CyanogenMod. Same thing will happen on apps that designed for CyanogenMod if you installed TW.
2. Unfortunately, AFAIK, you can't. You need some third party apps like Titanium Backup (are you mention it as TiBckup?), or backup feature of Clean Master and ES File Explorer (requires root and only main apk will be copied). If you want to restore apps will all data from previous ROM, the only way is to use Titanium Backup. You can also just format /system, but it's far way not recommended as it would cause more problems.
PS Edit: If you've installed some paid apps, the best way is to re-download them as they will detect your device ID and found it was mismatch, then will immediately block access unless the apps are reinstalled with the same Google Account as you bought these apps.

I was not talking about third part apps (yes TiBckup stands for Titanium Backup), but of Google's function when you first boot after a flash or after a factory reset.
Well, it depends on the android version only, the model does not matter (it is not HW related). It already happened to my to have the option reinstall apps from AOSP (Resurrection ROM) on a new, fresh and clean TW FW (Imperium); and vice versa.
I know there is always the option to manually install apps from Gplay, but it is not what I want, neither the option I'm looking for.
If I flash Resurrection ROM v5.6.2, on Lollipop 5.1.1, then there is the option to restore the apps from previous phones
If I flash Resurrection ROM v6.0.1, on MM, there is not such option/pop-up/choice...
Still thanks for your replay.
Hey guys,
My lenovo a6000 was lagging too much when I upgraded it to lollipop, so I opened the recovery mode and erased cache and data and installed KitKat ROM from SD card. Now, it is not lagging but many apps I tried to install from play store said " device not compatible " . Many apps don't even come as result when I search the name of app. I even tried apk to install but it didn't work.
And Now, What should I do to fix these problems? I can't even turn it into Lollipop now...
Help Me
You can always upgrade to Lolipop or other SDK21+ ROMs. I suggest using ED300's guide HERE.
Apps have requirements based on the OS version features, hence the mentioned SDKXY (where XY is the number corresponding to the android version(Example: 5.0.1-SDK21, 5.1.1-SDK22, 6.0.1-SDK23).
Sol
Wipe all system,data,cache,dalvic cache then
flash fresh kikat rom again... Then after that update the play services n play store.

Kit Kat is outdated and does not support some of the new programs may try to pass the custom rom from a new version or try to install an older version of the desired program
Ok so i just flashed my Nexus 7 2012 grouper with the latest AOSP rom and i must've be over-zealous with my drive wiping in TWRP because i accidentally lost all of the stock apps e.g. browser, email etc.
Installed Gapps pico just to get the play store and i was hoping to run mostly off stock apps but when i fired it up all stock apps were gone.
So..... how do i get these apps back?
Yes i am an amateur at this sort of thing
Cheers
Hello,
I am currently troubleshooting the tablet because there is an issue while installing, lot of common apps (Zoom, AnyDesk, ...) — it shows that the device isn't compatible by software. The tablet has the latest (offered by itself) Android 10 update and the apps have latest updates, offered, as well. It was working fine before, now it doesn't want to install/launch the apps. When I tried to sideload the apps, the same message was shown. I plan to flash LineageOS but before doing that, do you, guys, have any tips?
