Guest cooler11 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) When you said you installed the problematic one, was it clean install or restore. Have you done a tpt ever? Create a new thread for your next reply... What do you mean clean install? I boot into cwm and installed from zip, following the instructions of the first post (format system, flash rom, wipe data etc) What is 'tpt'? So? it's may to be within the data that's being left after reflashing, as reflashing will only rewrite everything but data. how did you reinstall all your apps? A few apps were restored with titanium backup. Most of them, running its apk packages. What do you suggest doing now? I would be gratefull if I could save all the work I 've done inside, all the installations of many apps and the making of their settings. Edited March 25, 2012 by cooler11

Clean install = completely erasing your phone and starting fresh. You usually do this in Clockwork Mod by "formatting" (erasing) /data, /cache and /system before you flash any .zip files to the phone. tpt = Total Phone Transfer. This essentially means the phone takes all the information about partition size and file information from an image.bin file (/data is a partition, for example, same as the C: drive on your Windows computer) and writes it onto storage, deleting any previous data on there already. This is great if you find yourself stuck in a rut on the Skate (for example if you can't access Clockwork Mod and you're stuck in a bootloop (The phone keeps on restarting and doesn't go past the green Android)). You can perform a tpt by downloading a special image.bin file. You need to make sure that file is in a folder called 'image' on your SD card. Once it's on your SD card, you need to turn your phone OFF and then hold down VOLUME DOWN + MENU + POWER. Your screen will flash and you'll see a bar going across the screen. This method is a great way of getting your Skate back to a working condition, but you'll lose everything on the phone's internal memory (NOTHING ON THE SD CARD WILL BE LOST). I believe the Skate stock roms sticky thread at the top contains all the imagine.bin files for stock Skate roms. Can't you access the market and download all your apps again? That's usually the better way of doing things. Titanium backup literally just automates the running of .apk files anyway. So that's all alright.
Guest Frankish Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Restoring backups with titanium is not recommended AT ALL unless they were made on another ics rom. Don't ever restore apps from gingerbread.
Guest cooler11 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Ok, guys, after a lot of tests, I think I found which is the problem. The problem is the 'freezing' of default launcher. Some of you, told me that of course I can freeze it, but only if I have previously installed another one. So this is the way I did it. But it doesn't work this way. You are forced to use the default launcher, whether you like it or not. If you freeze the default launcher, you will have the same problems as me. Please feel free to do it, to understand what I am talking about. I made everything from the start, no freezing of default launcher this time. Although it is bad for me, everytime I boot my phone I have to work for a while to this awful(for me) launcher, I prefer doing it, and in a few minutes I am able to turn me beloved awlauncher. Try freezing the default launcher. A bad surprise is waiting for you. You have to use it, where you like it or not. Others choose the launcher you have to use, instead of you. So many efforts to find out, I really feel exhausted.
Guest plegdroid Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) it's nothing to do with freezing out trebuchet launcher! As long as there is another launcher installed it will default to what every launcher is installed :) as Frankish has stated installed apps saved from within gingerbread would be the likely cause of the problem. :) Edited March 25, 2012 by plegdroid

So many efforts to find out, I really feel exhausted. I've been working with a frozen default launcher flawlessly myself for a while. Never had a problem. That's until I fiddled with moving the dalvik cache over to my /cache mount point and could not get things working again because of lack of space on it... Had to reinstall it all from scratch afterwards. But, just to confirm. You can freeze the default launcher without impact if you have another one ready to do the work.

It is supposed that freeze a launcher, when you already have installed another one, has no effect to the phone. It is supposed, but it does not happen this way. Anybody that wants to see it, try freeze the default launcher(install another one first), and see the results for yourself. Seeing is believing!
Guest cooler11 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 If you think that I am saying something that is irrelevant to the problem, why you don't freeze the default launcher(download another one first) and make a reboot? Anybody dare to try?

Guest Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 There is nothing wrong with using titanium backup between roms and android versions,providing in titanium backup settings you have set it to back up without compression so only apk are backed up,that way only the apk is being restored.The problem seems to be to do with the compression and restoring of data.I always use titanium because it is fast to restore apps,but I never compress backups or restore data as most apps can store data on SD card and be restored from within the app,like dolphin for example.
