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

Use titanium backup for user apps just copy your tb folder to pc or any removable storage so you can later just copy to your lg i do this with pics and stuff also

Go into settings, accounts and sync, Google and make sure it is set to sync contacts and pics. For sms use an app like go sms pro. Back up the sms and copy the files to your computer until your new phone arrives.

What version of android is on your s4? You might want to be careful when restoring app data across different platforms.

Should be ok then. Just be careful with any system app data. Never a good idea to restore that across devices.

Data Recovery Software - Lost Video

I've accidentally deleted a very important video on my phone, is there any recovery software that works with the LG G2 on Mahdi ROM?
It seems too easy to delete photos and videos from Kitkat, only takes a simple swipe!
Thanks

This app worked for me, but you must be rooted. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger

New updates in Play Store

Looks like a bunch of Moto apps got updated in the Play Store today...
Moto 3.0.49
Moto Actions 1.11.33
Motorola Boot Services 4.0.0
Motorola Camera 5.0.47.7
Motorola FM Radio 02.00.0045
Motorola Gallery 520012
Handful of new permissions too... Didn't keep track as they went by, just approved them all.
Haven't really noticed any difference yet, probably just bug fixes, but it's only been a little bit.

All that was updated on Aug 19

Sometimes the Play Store gets bugged and doesn't notify you of updates right away then weeks later they all show up at once.

Hey guys I actually noticed something.
The playstore updates of these apps removed the moto option from settings.

New Moto Camera update broke the camera on my XT1550.. using it with dpi modded to 280. Front camera / video recording buttons are out of place, which means tapping them takes a picture. Uninstalled and reverted to original version.

What exactly does that matter? I just checked and it still shows up on the apps menu which is probably the only place it should be anyway.

Same here lol flashed a few different roms and then went back to stock just to see. Kinda stinks because I like to use nova to hide any apps that can affect system wide functions so when it was in settings it had a nice home.

App that backs up folder arrangement

Hi.
Is there an app that can back up the folder arrangement in the app drawer? Because of the farce it is getting the s7 edge to flash properly with data I need to reset my phone again and it takes an age to get my apps organised into folders so when Samsung cloud has downloaded all my apps I want them automatically to be placed into their folders, I know Samsung /Google does it automatically with marshmallow but in nougat it doesn't
Cheers

Edit: just realised you said that it doesn't work in Nougat.
Smart switch backs up your homescreen
arrangements, including folders in the app drawer.

Dave

I use it all the time to backup and restore to the same device, as well as between devices when I upgrade.
