[Q] Restored dictionary, now "Android keyboard has stopped"

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

[Q] Question: Zeus settings

I have have Zeus 6.28 rom. If I will flash to 6.3 rom with cwm and do "'wipe cache" all settings from rom 6.28 (like programs, account settings, contacts and etc) will be deleted or survive? Because I tired every time reinstall all programs and re-enter setting, paswords and etc. Titanium backup or My backup do not do everything.

First things first, before applying any new ROM make a Nandroid backup (the "Backup" option from the recovery), that way, if you do something wrong you can always go back to how it was before applying the new ROM.
Second, if you do ONLY a "wipe cache" then your settings should not be deleted, but only if the upgrade you apply is an upgrade and not a full ROM.
If i remember well, the 6.30 Zeus is a full ROM as in it contains the entire System (apps/settings), so if you have apps/settings that are system apps, they will be overwritten by the 6.30 ROM, but the user apps/settings will be left alone.
If you don't have the habit to use Titanium Backup's "Convert to system app" feature then you should be safe since the system apps are the same in 6.28 and 6.30.
P.S. as I stated at the beginning, if you make a backup you can always go back to that version in case something goes wrong. To go back to a backup version, boot into recovery, wipe the cache and the dalvic cache too (don't know if it's needed, but it's safer), select "Backup & restore", select "Restore" and then select the backup that you want to restore, wait for it to finish, then reboot the phone and you should be at the version you had (with apps/settings) when you made the backup.
P.S.2 When i upgraded to Zeus 6.30 I've lost many apps since i usually convert my mostly used apps to system apps, but the user apps where all left unchanged. The Contacts, SMS and call log were also unharmed.

maybe somebody could write fastest way how prepare system (backup and etc) for fast settings, apks bring back after re-flashing rom, because now it's took for me about ~2 hours for re-installing programs, entering passwords and etc. I do everything with titanium backup or My backup, but maybe I do something wrong.

i have problems with 6.35.. i was from 6.11, did wipe data/factory reset, then installed 6.3, then installed 6.35.. since then my phone is laggy.. do i have to go to 6.33b, then 6.35 to fix the lag on zeus?
=====================
nevermind, for some unknown issue, lag disappeared after few reboots..

[Q] Messaging not working in CM 9.1.0

Hey guys! I rooted my SGS i9000 and installed the latest stable Cyanogenmod to it (9.1.0) + the GoogleApps. Before flashing, I made a Titanium Backup for the SMS messages (among others). After flashing, I chose to restore the SMS data (not app) and ignored the message that there is a ROM incompatibility between my former 2.3.3 and the current 4.0.4. Of course, now my messaging app doesn't work (i.e. when I open it and try to see a message thread, it closes with "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped working").
I tried to clear the app's cache and force-close it, then to clear the app's data (not only cache) and reboot phone. Also I tried to delete the app's data from Titanium Backup's menu. None of these actions solved the problem.
I am not sure what could I do to make it work again. Should I flash CM again using CWM?

mmicaly articles
I had the same incompatibility with TB when upgrading to CM9.
Go Backup is very good for restoring Call logs/SMS/MMS.
I was on 2.3.6 (JW4) and after flashing CM9 I restored them using Go Backup, and I re-installed all the apps from the market.
I guess you can go back to Gingerbread using Odin, restore SMS data with TB, backup again with Go Backup and then upgrade to CM9.
And by the way you can install latest nightly (0916) as it contains 9.1.0 and some additional fixes.

Yes, that could be the way to go, but I am not that interested in restoring my old messages. In fact, I just want to be able to see/write messages from now on.

OK, a follow-up with what I did in order to fix my issue:
Titanium Backup -> wipe messaging data, wipe phone/messaging data, literally try wiping and force-closing the apps multiple times until it I got bored
fix permissions via Titanium Backup
reboot do CWM, fix permissions from there, too
When I rebooted the phone, the messaging app was doing fine (and no more messages where of course in the list). I tried to send an SMS and I could finally see the thread. I hope that the issue is fixed, although I am not completely sure which of my actions actually fixed it. If someone still has an answer to why did this happen, or a solution, please post it!
PS: paraphrasing another thread: "if you need to restore SMS data, use a dedicated app which stores them online, if you need call-logs or other system settings stored you shouldn't probably mess around with your ROM in the first place"

Good Info.. i also used titanium backup to restore, worked right away. But i couldnt send messages out.
So i installed GO SMS Pro and changed the SMSC Number to the Number my Provider Uses for SMS Messaging.
Would be interesting if sending SMS is working for you with standard Messager ?
for some people *#*#4636#*#* should work.. In the Telephone Information there is a Tab for SMSC Number that can be edited (didnt work for me though)

Well, the app was behaving quite strange. I tried to send an SMS message while it was having problems, and the message got through (i.e. the recipient received it), but the app was reporting an error. I tried sending the message for a couple of other times, but apparently it did not work.
After "fixing" the app, I sent a dummy message to one of my old numbers (the SIM card is somewhere around the house, so I did not check if the message really got delivered), and the app says everything is OK.
Oh, and "the app" is actually the default Messaging app of CM9.

This is really interesting.. well every phone has its own bugs i guess.
My messages didnt come through, so i had to change the SMSC Number with another app (Go SMS PRO) from the Store.
Good to hear everything worked out for you.
Best Regards

the first solution on the internet to silly problem is here!

GOD!!! i was dealing with very same issue for like more than 5 hours! same place, damn, my sofa is dying! i tried every way of restoring it, but it hanged! actually no of sms in backup were many, somewhere around 18k! so the app was not able to handle them. anyway if anyone in future face the same issue, here is what i did,
1, open messaging app, the default cm9 one, and remove sms limit for a thread!
2, restore backup
3, app will still give errors of not responding, so now comes the most tricky part, till now you have successfully restored the backup and phone has accommodated it in, but app is still not able to handle sudden load of messages. open titanium backup tap on backp\restore tab, scroll to messaging 4.0.4 app, tap on it, tap on run app and verify that messaging app is opening, if yes then it will again hang, exit it, if in hurry everything shuts, open the same place in titanium again, now instead of run app, tap on wipe data!
thats it, check it straight away now, should b working! if still facing issues, you are welcomed to PM me

Need some help (noob warning)

Hey all, first of all... I just rooted my phone and this is the first time I am taking a dip into the I9000 stuff.. So please bare me
Anyway, I just rooted my phone with Semaphore 2.7.4 and all went fine, phone rebooted, installed SuperUser from Play Store and granted Semaphore his Root-Access and all went fine...
Now I want to backup all my info (SMS / APPs / Settings and so on) because the reason I rooted my phone is to make backups, lately my phone is starting to reboot / freezing and I don't trust a few APPs that are installed, so I want to give my phone a factory reset but be able to put back some backed up APPs / Settings :cyclops:
I installed Titanium Backup, but I'm not sure what to do now..... ??
*waves and says welcome to this part of the forums to himself :laugh:

I would ask you to boot in to recovery, go to advanced and try "Fix Permissions". Then boot your phone normally, now check if it's fine. Also, what you can also do is revert to your original kernal, that is only flash the kernal and don't re-partition. You will not loose any data in this case.

You have two options to take backups:
1) Using Titanium Backup - In the top right hand corner u will see a box with a tick mark on it.. it is the batch schedule option. go into it and u will see a lot of options. go for backing up all the apps and user data. it will take some time depending on how many apps u have on your cell. once finished all of ur apps will be backed up with the data intact.
2) using a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP - once installed you can take the complete NAND backup of your cell Titanium can also extract app data from ur TWRP NANDROID backups
Hope this helps

Thank you both for your reply, meanwhile I went to do even some more reading then I already have done in the past and been doing some backups....
- I went to Contacts and choose "Export Contacts" and imported those Contacts in GMail.
- Did an SMS Backup+ and saved SMS/MMS/Logs to my GMail account.
- I went into Semaphore CWM Recovery Mode and did a complete ROM-backup and saved this backup to pc
- I've backed up all Applications + Data using Titanium Backup, I've deselected the system APPs and saved the backup to pc afterwards.
- I've backed up the EFS folder (containing IMEI and stuff) using RootExplorer and saved a copy of the EFS folder to pc afterwards.
I think I am ready now to do a factory reset and maybe even take a peek around the wonderful world filled with ROMs, I've been following some topics for months with itching fingers :laugh:
If something is still missing please let me know, like I said this is the first time playing around with my SGS and I would love to do it in the right way :laugh:

Now you are ready to start. You can also backup your photos, music etc by the way

Wasn't planning to create a topic but it was nice to have a little "backup plan"

Process android.process.acore has stopped.

Hello everyone.
I use Titanium Backup to primarily backup and restore my contacts list, along with my calendar entries. Within Titanium Backup's Preferences sub-menu, the options - Auto-sync TB settings and Migrate system data have been previously enabled.
However, after moving from RocketROM v12 to Criskelo's ICS V11.2 (both custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmwares), and precisely initiating the Data only restore of Contacts Storage 4.0.4-XXLRK (CONTACTS/CALLS) entry within Titanium Backup, the following error appeared -
Unfortunately, the process

The said error appears every time I attempt to launch the Contacts app. Presently, I have cleared data from Settings > Applications > All; for the Contacts and Contacts Storage apps, which has stopped the aforementioned error from appearing, albeit, my contacts list is empty.
Please help me troubleshoot this error, such that, I am able to restore my contacts list.

Your not going to like this but youve actually tried all the main options there are...it appears to be a problem with the apk file itself or more correctly something stopping it being stable with the system, i had it just recently and had to wait for the next update on the rom im using but usually people have to wipe cache and dalvik..ie reset...and if that doesnt work its a reinstall the rom job m8

@pdolton2000, I am sorry about the late response, but I was away from my residential area/state. Additionally, I was resorted to using a colleague's laptop, without a medium of internet connectivity. However, most of the previous work was subjected to being offline.
Coming to my issue, I have been wondering if, manually formatting and subsequently mounting the /system, /data, /cache and /sdcard partitions via custom recovery, would be beneficial, or of any help in remedying the underlying issue, reported in the initial post of this thread?
Reiteratively, I will be eventually flashing Criskelo's ICS V11.2; a custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmware and attempting to restore system data; primarily my contacts list, whose last backup was performed within RocketROM v12 (another custom TouchWiz Ice Cream Sandwich firmware); via Titanium Backup.
