reinstall rom for the stock sms (no need to wipe data) also rejig the settings eg: overclock etc also change the gosms settings to basic probably help
ill try to re install the rom later.
and i tried all the settings in go sms,even reset it. but still the same
also i just thought. I forgot about "keep sms in memory" option under cyanogen settings tick that it SHOULD help

I tried that, but that option only applies to the stock sms app.
but in that case is there a way to run go sms persistently? there is a option in go sms to make it run persistence but in doesnt work, it always closes. think that is the problem :/
yea it never worked for me either (the option in gosms) just uninstall it tbh dude. Also here's a present for you, save re-installing the rom
it's not a flashable zip so just extract, put them onto your sdcard, move the file then to /system/app/ drop them there and click on mms.apk to reinstall it

Missing paid and some nonpaid apps?
This will revert your build fingerprint (its safe and pre-tested by me) so that they show up again.
Install it like any update.zip type install. Backup to be safe, and yes, you must be rooted.

cool been thx alot for this
I installed the zip while in recovery but I still cannot find some apps. Two examples are Tapatalk Pro, and Windfinder Pro. They both have updates being shown available in Appbrain but they cannot be found, 'The requested item could not be found.'
How about in the regular market?
Both show up for me. This change may not be instant. Check back in a few hours. Unless you want to hard reset your phone. I believe it has to do with the frequency that your gmail account syncs with the market.
Well I can search for them in Appbrain fine but when I click them it says 'The requested item could not be found.' I will late a little while.
Thanks
All just showed up after I rebooted the phone again.
Simply installing one new app made all of my apps reappear on the marketplace downloads page.. not sure if will work for others
JTC, this worked for me. Installed a quick free app, then everything else showed up. Thank you both.

You can restore a nandroid system backup if you have one recently. Always make one before you do anything that changes your phone. That way when failures happen from messing with system files you can restore.
You can possibly open his rom, then go to the system folder within it.
look for the build.prop file there. Copy it to your tools folder where ADB is.
Then do this
reboot phone into recovery
go to command prompt
type adb push build.prop /system/
This should solve the issue if you can get the build.prop off his phone or just do a nandroid restore from this rom.

Several general things to make your titanium backup and restore experience actually work properly.....
Be sure to be in debugging mode.
When first opening titanium, hit the menu button and go to preferences. Scroll all the way down to "app processing mode" and switch to "Auto, indirect"
NEVER restore system data (red and green text in titanium). Only apps. I know its a pain, but its easier to re-setup accounts and all that than restore and take the chance of the problems that usually arise from restoring system stuff.
I hope this helps people....
Restoring the data from apps that have the Titanium Backup icon will restore your wifi settings and your accounts along with various other settings.
To restore your contacts load the data from Contacts Storage 2.2 and not the contacts application itself.

Just copy the Titanium Backup folder to your external SD, then copy it back over after you flash.

Why?
The app itself recommends AUTO, Direct, and says that AUTO, Indirect is (If you have problems).

False information? GTFO. Many people posted that batch restore "freezes" for them. Mine used to also, every time. Then I went to a titanium forum, found out to switch to indirect, and have NEVER had a problem since.

I didn't accuse you. "Cause it works" isn't an ideal explanation. So what you're saying is. "hit the menu button and go to preferences.

Looking back thru this thread, i see that i may not have explained WHY i posted this, so i will. As i said in the quote above, I searched a while to get ANY tibu support. That tip was THE MOST RECOMMENDED for problems, and it worked for me, so I thought I'd try to help others by posting. I apologize for not explaining further.
As far as being a little short in the last replies, i did not like being accused of posting false info.....
I do apologize for saying it was false. Just bad wording on my part, and could have been said more... politely.
Also, being pretty new to Android. It actually took quite some time to find out some the TiBu information you posted.
Thanks for the tip!

It's something you'll see in the list of system items you can back up in Titanium Backup. Basically, scroll down the list of things you can back up, and anytime you see the Titanium Backup logo next to a system-type item (it'll usually be green) that's some system settings thing you can backup to later restore. It won't be an app, just some settings. I don't know if the Contacts 2.2 will show up for a 2.1 OS. Can't test that myself at this point.

Hey, thanks for the post, but question since you brought it up here and I was going to start another thread but you seem pretty knowledgeable about this...
When you install a new ROM or backup and restoring apps, is using TB really "clean"? I am so used to Windows crapola, that someone told me it is "cleaner" to just reinstall all your apps instead of risking some "crap" getting transferred over through TB's process.
I understand to not backup and restore system stuff now, but what if u do apps only, which is really the better, cleaner way to install in a new ROM?
Thanks.

i guess if you want the "cleanest" possible way, you should just reinstall the apps, but honestly i've never had a problem restoring with tibu (well that's not entirely true, but that was due more to user error )
if you do have a problem with a restored app you can always uninstall and reinstall from the market.
but everybody has their own voodoo rituals, so just find what works for you and makes you happy.:highfive:

Thanks.. I just reinstalled all the apps from free TB that didnt require any saved stuff to restore without data, and then the ones that did (like K9 mail) I restored with data and for now it seems all fine except for a glitch in my stock txt messager, go figure...
Would really appreciate some help.
Removed some bloatware via Titanium Backup, and of course, I got trigger happy.
process com.motorola.contacts (Contacts force closes)
process com.motorola.conversations (text messaging force closes)
So I have Root Explorer and got a hold of a system dump for Bionic.
I started by moving YahooContacts.apk (one of the apps I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled) back to the /system/app folder...but it doesn't show up anywhere as an installed app (just that the .apk was moved). If I try to actually select the .apk and try to install it says "Application did not Install" but the .apk IS moved.
Processes still don't work after moving.
I would appreciate any help, at this point I can't text or place calls. Thanks in advance, this forum helped me with the entire root process.
You cannot freeze/remove ANY of the other authenticator apps, it will cause contacts to freeze. I ran into that on the Droid 3.
First off there is no need to delete/remove, Freezing them accomplishes the same thing but most importantly it allows you to reverse what you have broken by Defrosting it. Do yourself a favor stop deleting and start freezing. If 16GB is not enough internal storage for you then you might consider an external HD from Seagate!!!!!!! LOL
I realize I made a big mistake. That's totally on me But it's in the past
Do I have any options to get this working again? I am definitely going to freeze apps in the future.
If I did delete an authenticator process, is there any way I can get those back? Would they be available through a system dump?
I believe that you need to make sure the permissions are correct after reinstalling an apk to the system/app folder. I've never done this, so I'll let you do the research. I've heard you can use root explorer to do this or a script with terminal emulator. Sorry I can't help more
I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to troubleshoot this issue on a different forum, however I am not allowed to post links but I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: It's not a problem with permissions, I've made sure that they're correct with root explorer. It seems to be a Bionic-specific issue. I might just return it at this rate.
Thankfully, there's an unroot to use. I think im in the same boat. re-added all the yahoo related .apk and .odex and set permissions/owner, still nothing. Unroot and hope the Verizon dude is in a good mood!
Except now ADB is throwing "ERROR: ADB could not be granted root access" when trying to unroot
excellent.
Someone in the thread I was talking about had some success, its on droidforums dot net, droid bionic forum, bionic support, HELP! accidentally deleted IMSCServer from Droid Bionic thread. Maybe you can try something I haven't.
just do a factory reset thats what i had to do as I had the same problem.
I tried that, it didn't work... Did you actually get your system apps back? Did you do it through settings or the recovery menu?
i froze my bloat thats prob the difference and it was yahoo that caused the problem for me...

It really begs the question why anything with Yahoo is required by the system. Furthermore, why did they make it so frustratingly hard to reinstall system apps on the Bionic? Really disappointed in Motorola for this.
Here is the fix for Contacts, restore these files and set correct permission, reboot and presto Contacts fixed
That did it.. I have been looking for the YAHOO Contacts.apk file for 3 days with a bloody wortheless phone that I spent 300 shells on!
BTW I agree with Glimmerman, WHY DID YAHOO get involved in contacts? Talk about a sneaky way in integrate them.

answered my own question. I WAS newbtastic afterall. LOL. Thanks anyways. This did it. Dang Yahoo!
lol yep my girlfriend did this yesterday fortunately i have a bionic too so i just pulled the files from my phone and pushed to hers.

also, apparently go contacts EX will 'fix' the problem (you must use their app however)

I'm confused as to where to put this. I downloaded it and it downloaded into tapatalk downloads. Where do I move it and do I extract it?
Ever since I got AppExtractor, Titanium backup has been old news.
https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsImNvbS5oYW5keWFuZHkuYXBwZXh0cmFjdG9yIl0.
AppExtractor allows you to extract apps straight from a CWM Backup (Nandroid). It even lets you restore SMS/MMS, Contacts, and Settings from a CWM Backup.
So instead of making a CWM backup AND backing up with TTB, you just make one CWM backup and you're set.
"I use Titanium Backup to freeze my bloat/system apps :trollface:"
Yep, Appextractor does that too!
If you're getting Force Closes after restoring apps, press the Fix Permissions button within AppExtractor and there's a good chance of that fixing the problem.
There's just one catch.
The backup you pull from HAS to be done through ROM Manager.
If you use ROM manager anyway, you have nothing to worry about.
If you make the backup through ROM Manager but it still doesn't show up, you need to update CWR. Scroll to the top of ROM Manager, its the first option, just press it.
Already hit the thanks button. I will try it out. I am a big user of titanium back up. It works really good if you know how yo use it but I am always up for trying something new.
This sounds great. Just downloaded and will check it out
Forgive this semi-off topic hijack. I am currently running Liberty ROM and want to check out the new shift3r 2.1 rom (but any rom is applicable) without losing all my settings and apps. Will this app do the trick? Is there another avenue?

Make a backup through ROM manager before leaving liberty, reboot and go back to ROM manager and make sure the backup you just made is in the list under Manage Backups.
Follow the instructions to install shift3r (this should include a full wipe).
Once you're on shift3r, install ROM Manager and AppExtractor. Open up AppExtractor and Restore all USER APPS+DATA DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM APPS/DATA (this will ruin the newly installed ROM)
Settings within apps will be saved, but system settings will not. System settings aren't much of a burden to set up though, you'll be fine.
Titanium just updated to do this too.

Thanks for the tip. It seems I am having some problems with ROM Manager making the backup (the sdcard-ext isnt detected during the backup process and i see no status bar moving, which I have read are indications of problems. Plus, the backup doesn't show up after a reboot). I don't have time to trouble shoot it tonight, so this may have to wait.

That did the trick. I had actually already tried that, but it never rebooted and so I figured it wasn't working. Oh well. One more silly question: Do I need to move the backup to my computer or external sdcard before wiping the system - if so where can I find it?

So here's my problem. I successfully flashed my Galaxy S GT-I9000 to ICS Infinitum but I have a problem.

Did you find something weird about the camera? I think mine is a little bit dark. And yes I know about that superuser permission. But the thing is, you wouldn't install that app if you don't want it to be allowed right? Of course you always allow those apps that you want to install that's why I set it to 'always allow'

If you mean Android's stock gallery, I attach it. Download it to your sdcard.

Now copy that .apk to system/app and reboot.
