Hey im on ICS 4.0.3
I updated my rom from an earlier beta of the same rom after wiping (I didn't need to, it was my choice ). So after a few days i got tired of not have all my abbreviated words and names etc (FB sync is not currently working on this rom) so decided to restore the data from TB.. It said all went well and a reboot is usually required. So reboot. Soon as i reboot i get "Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped working". Keep getting this every so often.
My attempted solutions
- Used TB to restore data + app
- Clear data from dictionary provider, android keyboard and User dictionary
- Reflash rom without wipe
- Clear cache (from CWM) and Dalvik and fix permissions
- Reflash again
- Use logcat to find the file and delete the problem file (didn't understand it and couldn't find the files )
- Can't even go into settings > language & input every time i try i get "Unfortunately Settings has stopped"
I disabled android keyboard and the pop up stopped appearing (when the other two were disabled the error still appeared).
I have now installed swiftkey X trial and it works but i would very much like the stock android keyboard back. I still cannot access language & input
Thanks for reading and replying
P.S. I have tried searching a few keywords and i haven't found anything. I have not changed language, and as said i have cleared the data from the above system apps.
*BUMP*
One bump then ill accept no-one has an answer..
Generally clearing data from android keyboard and dictionary should have worked..
you can try clearing data of both using titanium backup..
if that also isn't working, I saw that you have written reflash rom and reflash rom without wipe in steps taken.. did you try to reflash rom with wipe?
that should definitely work, right
Have no idea how it worked but clearing the data from TB instead of from the individual apps via manage apps has worked!! I always thought that option would delete the backup but then i looked at it properly and saw the delete button beneath it.
Now ill try restore dictionary one more time as i know how to fix the problem should it arise again.
Btw I didn't want to try with wipe because I couldnt be bothered to back up everything again, I think there are going to be some updates in the next week and just seems too much effort
I am having the same problem

TB = Titanium backup. Root is required as far as I know. And you clear the data by finding the app under the backup/restore tab pressing on keyboard app and the dictionary app and press on wipe data. Let us known if it goes well.

no, the problem still persists,
m using htc hd2 ICS cwm
problem solved
i had to reset\erase factory setting from CWM,
So basically everything was erased from phone
note
when i restored backup from sd card, i started getting back error msg,
advance restoring system also gets problem back,
only restoring Sd ext3 or mounted restore doesnt creates any error on keyboard error.
on my case TB didnt helped

Clearing the cache and data with Titanium backup worked for me. I guess the titanium backup of the user dictionary does not work.

I don't use the default android keyboard so never tried restoring data of user dictionary

Hi guys,
I wanted to check out android 2.1 flan, so I installed the rom after making a nandroid backup.
It was fun to check out, but in order to load it I had to wipe my phone and my cache.
After restoring my nandroid, all the applications I had installed but wiped with the cache are acting funny. Basically they still show up in manage applications, but they really arent there, and if I try to reinstall them through market it doesnt let me click install OR uninstall as both are greyed out.
Basically, I will have to wait for all my applications to get "updates" before I can use them again.
Is there a way to clean up these ghost programs... without doing a complete wipe (and loosing text messages and other things)?
I didnt think Nandroid did application backups (what you are seeing are in the ext3 partition)
You need Switchrom or BART to do full backups including apps
I may be (and no dount will be) wrong though.

As mentioned above, nandroid *does not* back up your external apps. It will ONLY backup your *INTERNAL* storage.
If you make a clean restore of your nandroid backup and then run the fix_permissions script from recovery, it *might* be able to fix (some/most of) your external apps. Might try that.
If it doesn't work, then it is a tedious business of reinstalling each application individually and then restoring *ITS* home directory. Either that or a total wipe (internal and external).
The problem is that the database file that keeps track of which apps you have installed/removed is out of sync with the apps that you have installed.
I am uncertain how to fix this (I have the same problem myself).
If you perform a factory wipe, you'll lose that database entirely. All your apps will be installed, but your phone will think that none of them are.
UPDATE:
OK...apparently this is a more widespread issue impacting people running the stock/OEM ROMs as well as those of us with rooted phones.
Read up on this thread:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=096ef069db2788e9&hl=en
I followed the suggestion near the bottom of the page and copied over the /data/data/com.andriod.vending/databases/assets.db to a new filename (basically I renamed it).
I then launched the market app and then it would let me install (reinstall) the missing apps.
Then I ran into a problem. I deleted the new assets.db that was created and copied the old one (the one I renamed) back to assets.db.
Then the market app would force close. I noticed the UID of the assets.db file was wrong.
I ran the fix_permissions script from RA's recovery image. This fixed the UID problem, including the assets.db file. But now the market app only shows the apps that I've paid for......none of the others that I have installed.
Not sure what's going on there. It may sort itself out within 24 hours.
Hello. Today I discovered that my camera stopped working - write camera error and that the camera end. I did a factory reset and restore backup titanium, but restatru gone again. Does anyone know what to do?
when you do the restore are u restoring also the system app ?
pls do wipe factory reset and when you wan restore from titanium choose restore missing apps not restore all the apps try it and it will work
It works! Thanks a lot! I became very desperate, the perception and the subsequent manually reset the settings I stated in despair. You saved me!
Even more so to know what actually happened.
Edit:
Strange, it seems that the problem does freeze applications using titanium backup. But why so suddenly? So far nothing like this happened ... Error Titanium backup? And what happens if you uninstall?
no problem , always when you want to do your backups , don't choose all the apps , choose user apps with data , this will prevent you from backing up your system apps , cuz if u installed new rom , probably not the same system apps will work for it ...
cheers
I'm getting the sameerror message when I try to open my camera app as well. I've factory reset it several times, only restored user apps and data from Titanium but it's still not working. I even tried to replace just the camera app from my Titanium backup with the same results (none).
I recently had a problem with my SGT losing the ability to rotate. After searching Google and the XDA forums I was able to locate a copy of the sensor file I needed to replace the one I had on my Tab. Would the same thing work for the camera - replacing the apk file (same with my GPS )?

I found other similar thread about barcode scanner but none of them mentioned my problem(may be have and I miss it?)
I flash my phone to XXKB3 long time ago then found that the barcode scanner won't work and showing ("Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device"). However the phone camera works fine.
So, I decided to flash it again 2 days ago. After flashed it, I immediately check both phone camera and barcode scanner and all turns out fine.
So, I happily root and deodex my phone and check again, still no problem.
After that, I want to try the tw launcher 4.5 so i do a nandroid backup using CWM.
After change to tw launcher 4.5, the barcode scanner start to showing the same problem...So, i thought it may be cause by the launcher so i do a restore using the nandroid backup. Still, the problem still there.
Anyone know what is the problem? Phone camera works fine without any problem but barcode scanner won't work.
Your help is much appreciated.
EDIT: The problem solved by re-enable the stock email apps.
It's strange. I have rooted deodexed XXKB3 + CWM + ext4 converting + I tested twlauncher4.5 (now I removed it because I like more Go Launcher Ex). And barcode scanner works fine for me.
I think the problem is wrong settings(broken?) of something(barcode scanner, system settings or something else). And them conflicts with your scanner.
At the first try to go To application manager, find barcode scanner and clean data.
if it won't help try to
1. go to recovery console and format /system, /cache, /data
2. restore your nandroid backup.
if it will not help too try to
1. backup all from your internal sd card
2. format your internal sdcard from phone menu
And install application you lose (some of applications can be installed at the internal sdcard). Do not restore backups from titanium backup — it will restore applications with their wrong settings.
if it will not help, I don't know what to do.
By problem what do you mean? Like the scanner if not working in the sense it is not opening or is it that teh barcode is not recognised?

the barcode scanner just open up and then show "Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device.". After click ok it close by itself...
Anyone willing to help?
I think it didn't caused by the tw launcher 4.5...
confusing as it may sound but the camera is tied in with stock e-mail app (read that somewhere after having same issue as you describe)
which means: if you remove the stock mail app, QR code scanning doesn't work anymore at all (works the first time you use it, then you get an error message)
had the issue and had to re-flash FW, did NOT remove stock mail app and afterwards all worked
maybe your stock mail app's corrupted after deodexing and this causes the problem?
and yes, im an utter and complete noob
Try clearing the davlik cache and try again

Hello guys I have a lot of FCs after making a restore for the system data and apps (backed up from zeus mistakenly restored in cm7) so now I get FC sometimes gmail(disappeared )whatsapp until now I get it's FCs and some other apps how to end this bad FCs
also I installed xms recently when I click under contacts tab view on map it's FC why??
You should restore system data from zeus to CM7. Only user data. It is not compatible.
what about xms?
ebuddy xms? that is a user app, it should work. You could try 2 things:
1 - Restore only the user applications and then the user data. So when you restore the settings of the application, the application is already restored.
2 - In recovery, try to fix permissions
No NO I mean xms bug I installed it on cm7 and didn't restore it only view on map error
I don't know what you mean by xms :S sorry
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lYnVkZHkuYW5kcm9pZC54bXMiXQ..
That is what I said
That is a user application. You should be able to restore it. Try to restore again.
System application is like the default dialer, applications that are already included in the rom, stuff like that.
User applications is the applications you install
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey please read carefully this is OT of restore problem this is another problem/thread/topic called XMS ebuddy force close when I click on the view on map button I didn't backup/restore it this is completely different problem
Sorry, it is late here and I'm tired.
Try to fix permissions in recovery. it could fixes some FC. And the FC could be a problem with the app itself.
thnx man you did your best
now other guys none knows the problem??

I don't use the application, so I can't help. But you could try to go another way, try to find out if the application itself has this bug. comments in application forum, in the play store,something like that
Good luck!
I sent them ticket thnx
sometimes i cannot restore from tb not sure what the problem is but when that happens i try to restore without data or i detele the backup in tb and just reinstall from the market....
sometimes i cannot com[pletely uninstall through tb too when that happens wither i do it through manage applications or i go into es explorer and delete it thru there (for system apps)
Ok so after attempting replace the AT&T contacts app I finally succeeded, but now my phone doesn't work and I recently lost text messaging.
I downloaded the apk files from this thread then placed them - Contacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Phone.apk, PhoneConfig.apk and associated .odex - in my /system/app folder. I then restarted the phone several times and cleared the Dalvik cache using the SystemCleaner app.
As it stands right now, placing my SIM card in the phone and having it in anything other than airplane mode, I get the error com.android.phone stopped. I can dial a number without the SIM card in but it fails because I'm not connected to my carriers network.
Using Titanium Backup & Restore app, I notice that com.android.providers.telephony isn't installed. I also notice com.motorola.messaging isn't installed. These may suggest why things aren't working.
My phone has been rooted and has an unlocked bootloader. It has the stock ROM and I'd like to keep it if possible. I just want to fix these issues and have my phone back the way it was before all these issues started. Also I'd like to recover my previous text messages if possible.
Any help in addressing this issue would be great.
clear cache for phone and contact...use either tibu or go to apps, and clear cache and data...

Ok so I used Titanium Backup to Wipe Data for Contacts and Phone, powered off the phone, then powered it back on, then inserted my SIM. I got the same message.
If the process for clearing the cache is something else a brief explanation would be welcomed.
By the way ai6908, thanks for taking the time to respond to this thread.
it should have worked...go to CWM and wipe cache and davlik after you wipe data...did you wipe contact storage?
This is why you backup. All you needed to remove art contacts was root uninstaller

Ended up reinstalling the stock ROM and uninstalling most of the AT&T apps. I didn't bother attempting to replace the Contact app with the stock android version.
