[Q] titanium backup messed up icons question - HTC Incredible S

I used titanium to backup all my user data and apps. I also noticed titanium had an option to move all my apps to sd card, so I went and did that. I also deleted backups for non installed apps.
One of these three operations seems to have removed the icons for some of my widgets/shortcuts on my home screens. Some of the icons say "Problem loading" and I can not click on them.
Is there a way to fix this?

Remove that icon and drag again the widget to desktop?

I would but its like half a dozen icons and i dont remember what they all were. I just did a restore all. That made me install all my apps again. Still did not fix the problem.
I guess I'l lreplace the icons manually once I need them and remember what they were.

Titanium Backup issue...

I've GOT to be doing something wrong here... I can get Ti-Ba to backup/restore most of my stuff, but with every flash I've done, I ALWAYS lose (and can't get back for some reason) my Home Screen setups.
Q#1: What option in Ti-Ba SHOULD I be using to BACKUP?
Q#2: What option in Ti-Ba SHOULD I be using to RESTORE(to restore apps/data and home screen stuff?)

it doesnt restore home screen setups
Not true it remembers my layout for launcher pro but not the widgets obviously. I only backup and restore user apps

The main reason I even thought it did/SHOULD was because in some of the how-to videos, it clearly shows it being done, real time with Ti-Ba.... but - For whatever reason, it never works for me, using the exact same Batch command.

this is correct. it does NOT restore your widgets
this is for 3rd party like launcher pro
i dont believe it can restore touchwiz at all

I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
Had the same problem, for me closing the folder and reopening it solved the problem, but it is a pain!

You can also reload your launcher as well. If your HTC Incredible S is stock, just kill HTC Sense. It will restart automatically.

This is exactly what I do. This issue exists both in froyo and gingerbread.

Remove lg apps from stock rom

I just flashed the stock o version, and tried uninstalling the lg sns app, as i thought it is the one that contains Facebook and twitter. After the uninstall my home screen would no longer load and i had to reflash again. How can i remove those apps?
Also on the stock home screen bar how can i change the default messaging link?
Thanks a lot
Ps. I tried searching for these, as i thought these should be common questions, but my searching skills are just horrible.

Is it even possible to uninstall the LG sns apps from stock rom? Are you rooted? For what I know, it is a system app and cannot be uninstalled like ordinary user apps.
Anyway, if you phone's rooted, you can just download titanium backup and either freeze it or uninstall it from there, should be no problem, I do that too, I don't like the sns apps and some other LG bloatware. I don't know about deleting it manually using apps like root explorer or es explorer will have any negative side effects, but it usually don't.
Cheers!
Yes i am rooted and I tried to remove sns and also F-Secure using Titanium Backup, but thereafter i could not get to my homescreen anymore. I will try it again. Maybe it was something else i did, and not the removal of sns that caused the problem.
While rooted, uninstalling them with Titanium Backup works fine for me.
About the default messaging app on the home screen, if you mean by the 4 icons that is always there.. I don't think you can change it,atleast not easily anyway, there is no options for that.
Actually it's very easy to change the bottom icons in the LG Launcher. Enter the apps-drawer, click menu/edit, then just drag the apps you want down to the bottom icons.
Thanks. That was exactly what i wanted. I tried just dragging without the edit part but that did not work. I was also able to remove sns without problems.

It works! I though I tried it before when the first time using stock rom 8months ago and it did'nt work! So I thought it will never work for stock rom! Thanks!

Home screens keep corrupting since 219 update

I had a hard time updating to 219 because i had used titanium backup to integrate system app updates into the rom.
Anyway, im now upgraded and everything works, except the widgets and icons on the homepage keep corrupting. I keep getting the wrong icon in the wrong place. E.g. play music replaces the powerbar widget and powerbar replaces favorite contacts.
I assume that a good approach would be to wipe the launcher app and start again. What is the launcher app called and do you think wiping user data will help me any?

Backup questions

Hello, I'm new to having a rooted phone and doing back ups. I was wondering if there a app or something in titanium that can backup your ringtones settings for your contacts and your home screen, app folders? I am trying out the EclipticONE-Revamped-Inverted DEODEX 3.8 and for some reason it won't let me use htc backup to restore my homescreen and app folder setup.

Thanks I'll look into it. It doesn't seem to be able to back up contacts or ringtones settings. Is there a app that can do this? I figured out how to backup contacts on titanium. I'm sorry if I sound like a noob, I'm trying to look things up and learning the stuff that goes with running a rooted phone.
I'm pretty sure TWRP/CWM backs up EVERYTHING. But you can't transfer that around from ROM to ROM.
You need not worry about contacts. Google backs that up for you.
When I used to be a flashaholic on my gs2, the only thing I would back up was doodle jump. I enjoyed having to toy with all the settings. Ringtones don't take so long to set up, do they?
Not really, I was just curious if there was a app that could do it. I'm trying out a few different roms to find one I like, so I figured I would ask just incase something like that was out there.
