So i recently rooted my device and made a backup with adb, using adb backup -all. After I successfully rooted my device I restored them using adb restore backup.ab. So it did work for some apps, for others it didnt. My Problem is besides that I have some apps twofold (?), somehow some appsymbols and widgets are locked on my homescreen. If I try to delete them It says "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped.". I just want to get rid of this, I dont really care that much about my appdata. I am on CM13 btw.
Help will be appreciated.

First off I'm new here and I rarely ever use forums or ask for help so I apologize. I was in IT for a year and plan on going into a computer related field so I don't want to be treated like I'm stupid, I'm just ignorant. That being said I NEED HELP
I have a Motorola Droid Razr M running the dreaded Android 4.1.2 OTA update. I recently rooted it and tried to use App2SD because I was running out of space and that was a nightmare because you need 4.2.2 Froyo and I'm ignorant, but anyways I rooted my phone just fine and was trying to unlock the bootloader but appearantly you can't on 4.1.2. So I decided to use Safestrap and I didn't have enough space to download anymore apps so I deleted a bunch and it still said (insufficient storage available) and wouldn't let me download it. I said fine and factory reset my phone after using titanium backup to back everything up. Everything was wiped and as I tried restoring using my titanium backup from the SD card it said insufficient storage for some of the apps even though I had plenty of space. (it lets me download like titanium backup and a few other apps, but mostly none of my paid ones or important ones which is even weirder) I've looked at other forums and can't download lucky patcher, titanium backup gives me a message when I open it that asks to restore my old android user id because of the factory reset and I figured that could be the issue but you need the paid version of titanium backup for that and it gives me the insufficient storage error message when I try to install the paid version idk what to do? maybe I can completely wipe it somehow and just start all over? or there's a special way to change the android user id back? or maybe I should unroot the phone because it's rooted but superuser isn't downloaded anymore and won't install. I have no idea what to do. I apologize for the inconvenience but I need some help. Any educated information on the subject or help would be SOOO appreciated. Thank you!
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!
Every time I restore my stock rom after messing with other roms for a while, things get all messed up and even though root is successful as well as magisk, I can no longer mount system unless it's read only and I can no longer delete system apps in root browser etc. If I manually go back to stock via adb and re root I don't have these issues. It always happens after restoring a backup after being rooted and messing around for a while. Anybody know how to fix it? My Gmail never seems to work after a backup and I want to delete it and download again.
I rooted my smt-350about a month ago using chainfire and odin for my brother. Yesterday, suddenly many of the system apps started crashing, including the default launcher. I restarted the tab, but in vain. It stooped detecting the SD card. Third party apps are working fine but they are also not sensing the SD card. The tab worked fine before this happened. The tab doesn't have custom recovery or ROM.It has SuperSU. I am not an experienced rooter so please explain your solution. Thanks in advance.
Sounds Like you deleted Something you shouldn't have. Think of root as removing the protection that keeps you from screwing up you device. When you rooted unlocked the device and made read only files now read and write files. Did you install any apps from unknown sources(Not Google Play Store)? May have installed a bad app or just accidentally deleted something you were not suppose to. Easy to fix if you can stil get to download mode and find your stock firmware. Then flash it with Odin. Then reroot and be more careful this time and also make a back up with Titanium Backup from the play store(Needs root). Let me know if you need help with this I can walk you though it...
I removed some stock apps using adb, and something broke my second screen. Everything seemed benign, but I jacked up something. Now my phone keeps displaying "Unfortunately, second screen has stopped." Thanks!
Do you have a Nandroid of your install or backups of any of your apps through TiBackup?
Non rooted with no backup
No.
What model do you have?
Just use one of the unbricking methods here on xda to reflash stock rom and you should be fine. Use LG UP to flash the latest kdz.

In had this happen many times tweaking things through adb. Never did figure out what I did to disable the screen. I found a simple factory reset fixed it. Assuming your are not rooted and just forced an uninstall of apps via Adb.
I had this happen (on VS995 i.e. Verizon non-rooted on Oreo) after I used adb to uninstall the 3 weather packages (com.lge.sizechangable.weather, platform & theme.optimus) since I don't use the weather widget. Reinstalling from the original apk files fixed the problem; they were listed as Weather, Weather Service (this one fixed it) and Weather Theme. So my guess is one of the packages you uninstalled. I tried disabling them first but couldn't, thus the uninstall. Couldn't reinstall through adb but just running the apk install once I found where they were hiding in the file system fixed me up. Argh!
