Installed 2.3.3 but...

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.

I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

But did you wipe everything before/after the flash?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.

It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.

Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

Anyway to recover iCloud data and retrieve it on Android?

I am a songwriter and used the Dictionary. Com app a lot on my iPhone. I would save my favorite words and have them synced to iCloud. I have the app on my android now and hoping theres any possible way to recover my data stored in iCloud. It's this possible?

iCloud is not important! what was the app?
when u backup to iCloud it means iCloud just upload the file generated by Application.
what is the app name & what is extension of backup file? (format)

I stated it above. It was for the Dictionary.com app. It gives you an option to backup your saved words to iCloud. Which I did.

That's exactly what I was wondering. Lol I felt like something was being left out.
@ O.P.: Anyways, if there's no option in the dictionary app, it's probably a loss. Which would be dictionary.coms fault. Do they offer word backups via a dictionary.com account or something?

Nope. No login for the app so I think it is a lost.
Sent from my Silver S7 Edge (T-MO)

Did you log in with any kind of account? And have you tried logging in with that account in the Android version of the app? That would probably be the best/only option.
You could also reach out to the FBI. I hear they like to retrieve iCloud data.

Switching from Galaxy Note 2 to LG v20

Hey guys!
I am switching from Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to LG v20 and was wondering how to import all my data from Note 2. I have few backups with Samsung Kies and is there a way to just import a fresh backup from Kies to LG?
I will prefer a program like Samsung Kies for Windows that can work with both phones but if there's an App that I can install on both phones and transfer data via bluetooth / wifi or something is fine too.
Thanks!

I did it as well - but just as a suggestion, when setting up the V20, make sure your sim card is in or it's connected to wifi and make sure that you setup your google account. Otherwise it will not install your apps.
First go round, I bypassed the google screen and was going to do it after and I still had my sim in my Note 7 and was at work (no wifi) and it did not install any of my apps.

I made a backup on my SD card using LG backup, installed the SD card in my lgv20 and transferred it that way. Worked out fine.

MyKnox

Anyone found a version of myknox that works on the S8? I can do secure folders, and I see that knox is installed, but I can't create a myknox workspace... Boo...

Looks liek it cost money now? https://www.samsungknox.com/en/solutions/knox-workspace

That is an MDM (Mobile Device Management). It is for enterprises not for consumers.

I guess my use of the work workspace was confusing. Sorry. I definitely mean for a personal device, not corporate managed by MDM.

For personal use? As I understand it it's basically military level security to separate business and personal apps. Also, you only get a 30 day free trial.

Correct. MyKnox was knox for regular users to enjoy the secure secondary workspace using the knox security platform. Secure folder is just the next version of myknox, incorporating all the suggestions they received to make it less complicated, a bit faster, and more seamless for regular users. Most users were not using the full launcher setup in myknox, but the folder mode. There is no difference in the encrypted volume afaik. If you like the older two phones style, you can just sideload myknox. Not sure if it still works, but on the S7 you could install both, and have a total of 3 environments.

Try this,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6WG7_c-hYT8SlVJVHpSSkNiNlE/view?usp=drivesdk
First install Knox.apk, next install KnoxManager.apk
Go in your home drawer and enjoy✌

It works great. Both the apk from Sammy downloads and the gdrive link, I tested both. I love having the secret fodder for personal things, and the MyKnox for my work stuff. I like being able to have it in launcher mode.

It's not a 30 trial.
The user version is free.
The enterprise version is what costs. Knox allows companies to even do things like DEP (Apple term) for all their devices to force device management on them. You can even push custom Samsung made firmware on KME enabled devices. Quite powerful stuff. Knox takes advantage of the hardware encryption on the device and encrypts all data at rest, in memory and in CPU. It's quite powerful.
Oh, and any MDM (mobile device management) system that pushes commands on the device, uses Knox APIs for most of the features. There are only a few basic Google APIs used for MDM. Rest are customized by Samsung - they are one of the very few, if not the only OEM that puts a TON of effort into adding APIs for MDMs to add new features.
