I've recently flashed a new rom (rocket rom v10). Did a full wipe before that, so I used titanium backup to restore apps and data. But I recently found out that every time I reboot, I lose settings/data. For example, my user dictionary gets wiped. I also use power strip, and my configuration for that also disappears. I've tried reinstalling that app but that didn't fix it so I know its not that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have you tried wiping cache as well? And starting from 0? And then move something and then restart again and then see if that fixed it. If it does then restore. And if it keeps resetting after that then something is corrupted.

Hello,
I need a little help. Basically last night I started to get some Force Closes on twitter so I decided to restart my phone, but it then was in a constant loop, it would vibrate once then twice and repeat this. I tried taking out the battery for a while but it didn't work. So I decided to boot into recovery and make a backup. I then Wiped my phone and it restarted fine, so then I restored my backup..but it then went into the loop described above. Is there anyway to a.) Get my contacts/messages/photos etc off the backup or b.) successfully restore the backup?
If it matters I'm using Darky's 9.5 with Darkcore kernel 1.0
Thanks

Since you made the nandroid backup after you had the fcs and other problems, the backup saved the problems as well as your other stuff.
Sounds like you would be best off trying to wipe your phone then reinstall apps from TB or the market. Also in future save your contacts to your sim or to google/exchange for easy restoration.
I think there are ways to dig around in a backup ans save specific files like pictures
Search for it on XDA.
Also, in future try wiping dalvik and cache and fixing permissions before going to factory reset.

Thanks for the reply.
I found that my pictures weren't actually deleted which was weird.
I did try to wipe the dalvik and cache but that didn't work. But didn't try fixing the permissions.
I think most of my contacts were synced with google mail, do I just have to sign into my gmail account and it will transfer the contacts to my phone?
Thanks again.

Yes that should restore them if you tell it to sync contacts when you sign in for the first time

what's nandroid?
What kind of restore did you do? Maybe it helps if you just restore data?
Contacts are restored even if you sign in to your Google account later ob, not just on first boot.
As it sounds in the title. I am helping a friend out with his Tab. I have tried various ROMS, but the issue still remains and that is, the Tab loads from a restart, every app force closes. I mean every app. I can go into the drawer click on an app, and it force closes before it even opens. I am at a loss. I have an Android phone but this one has me stumped. Any thoughts?

Have you done a full factory wipe to try starting from scratch? Found the stock rom and flashed that? Let us know what steps you've taken and we can probably help you get your friend up and running again.
I have done a factory wipe. I booted into recovery, wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache partition. It also seems to reset the settings every time the Tab is rebooted. Should it affect it if the Tablet is not connected to any service? He is just using it as a side gadget. He hooks it up to wifi occasionally, but that's about it.
I would download a good stock carrier rom and kernel for whatever version he has (vzw sprint...whatever) and set it back to as it shipped from carrier. Maybe a system file is shot.

I flashed to a stock VZW rom, and no dice. When it reboots, all of the apps force close either at startup or when they are pressed. This is ridiculous!
I used this ROM
When I flashed it back to stock, the Setup Wizard keeps force closing. So now I can't even get to the homescreen or even the activate screen to bypass activation.
Are you flashing through recovery or using odin? That would be my advice, get a stock tar and odin

try flashing a kernel with clockwork. then flash whatever rom. and do wipe data, wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the dalvik cache.
Any thoughts on which one?
I know there have been other threads relating to this. It will never do a full reset. It always recovers to a previous image.
Odin with a stock tar

I have done a flash using the stock rom. The issue that it is having, is that everytime I reboot the Tab, I ALWAYS have to start from scratch. The ROM changes when I flash, but all of the previous users info is still there. I go in to app management remove every 3rd party app I can find, any personal data (i.e. google accounts, messages etc.), but when I reboot the Tab, ALL of the info that I just deleted is back on device. After just a simple reboot. I tried just installing CWM but superuser keeps force closing so I can never boot into CWM recovery. Any of the kernels that I can find no longer have valid links, does any one have a kernel available. Very frustrating! I have used both Odin and Heimdall.
Hi
im on custom jvu 2.3.6 and everything keeps closing
the dialer and messages especially
There is no force close at all.
It started about two weeks after i flashed it. It gradually gets worse and worse sometimes they stay open sometime not.
I re flashed and the problem went away but came back.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this.
How can i back my phone up so I've got all my messages and numbers.
Kies does not find the phone but oden does
thanks
I advice you to wipe cache and dalvik cache via recovery or delete data of the applications that cannot working fine via "Settings"
I've wiped cache and delvik that didn't work. Ill try delete data
Can't find the option to wipe data from each app
its mainly message and call app that's the problem
Go to "Settings">"Applications">"All"

You could try titanium backup or rom toolbox, long press the app and you will get a menu to clear whatever, but in titanium select the app, clear data,
Fixing the permissions via cwm might help also

Hi
I am using ICSSGS 4.2 with DEVIL 0.72
2 days ago my phone started to get crazy. the screen truns on and off for 6-10 times every 10 minutes my battery is getting low quickly because of this.
I remember it happened exactly the same when I was on stck rom but after I flashed ICS it stopped but unfortounately it came back again.
It's sound like an app that is causing this.it's a wakelock issue
Try a factory reset from recovery.
Then install your apps one by one to check witch one is causing this.
I fixed this by uninstalling the last 3 apps i installed. then i found out which app is causing this problem.
thx but!!
Factory reset erases everything in the phone including internal sd card right????????
can I do it by uninstalling all the apps?????? or do I need to do factory reset
thanks again
Plz tell us the name of these apps. May be its help us.
Sorry for my bad English.

uninstalling all the apps are the all most the same as WIPE your DATA
if you have root you can use titanium backup and backup all your apps and the data apps and restore them
good luck
Factory reset DO NOT WIPE sd content.neither does a hard reset.
Factory reset delete all apps and data.but system is still intact and phone boot normally
with a hard reset u wipe apps data and system,so u need to install new system from cwm or Odin
Apps and data can be backed up with titanium backup and restored also system apps.but it's not a good idea to restore system apps unless u know what u are doing.
problem solved looooool
Thx guys I started uninstalling my apps one by one and my phone stopped bieng crazy (thankx god) and I think the problem is one of these programs:
-officesuite
-documents to go
thanks again
Please flash an updated rom...

I've tried searching around threads for similar problems but I couldn't find something quite exact like mine.
Well I'm running a Jellybeer rom now and before that I was running CM9 and then AOSP beerbong rom.. This problem I noticed when I was switching from the AOSP rom to the AOKP rom by the same developer. I followed all The instructions, did factory wipes etc. And then once on the jellybeer rom I just did the cache wipes as required for rom updates. I am also using titanium backup pro to back up and restore the "user apps with data". The problem is :
Every time I reboot my phone:
1)launcher is set to stock.
2) when I activate the nova launcher the widgets have to be restored.
3) lock screen widgets are gone.
4) SwiftKey 3 dictionary has to be updated or it doesn't recognise the old one.
5) randomly during the startup i get this random vertical black bar towards the right or left of the screen for a second or two and it seems to be like a glitch. I've got the soft keys / navigation bar enabled. Before when then rom had transparent soft keys, they would become opaque after this glitch appeared.
6) accessibility options like notifier pro and dash clock are also reset to "off " after reboot but once I enable one of them all of them come Back on as well.
I have tried clearing logs and caches with "sd maid" and I thought It was a bug in the rom, but after many updates, this is still there. No one seems to be having the same problem as me in the rom development thread.
There was this one time when my phone crashed and showed the roms booting screen and once the system was loading, it looked like how the phone is supposed to boot up with all my widgets, launcher, dictionary etc.
This is quite frustrating as every reboot I have to reconfigure my phone partially.

Thanks, for now it seems to be normal. Only I see that black bar on boot. That could be something to do with the rom, I will be moving this to the solved section for now.
If anyone is interested, I backed up my user apps using guide which is linked above and then I proceeded with the factory wipe and then I restored my apps and made sure the main apps that were restarting were kept on the internal memory.
Thanks once again for helping me solve my issues. It's what a relief to reboot without having the headache of setting everything again. Even SwiftKey is working fine. Even though I'm using the older version of it.
