[Q] Update JB from v.1 to v.2 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I would like to update the JB rom that I am running at the moment (RemICS-JB-v.1) to the new v.2.
The thing is that the developer suggests full wipe, meaning loosing all phone data (contacts, sms, pictures, music, files, installed apps etc.), correct?
Is there a way to just update the rom without loosing data?
Any help or comment is welcomed.
Thank you all in advance!

Hello,
You may try to use apps such as Titanium Backup. It is able to backup apps+data, but I am not sure concerning sms, and contact may be saved to your google account.
The key point is NOT to restore any 'system' related application data IMO.
The other way is to try not to wipe, but I won't advice this as you may face issues after flashing => wipe some system app data may help in this case.
Hoping this will help...

I just Install v2 over v1 without any wipe and it works really good.

Thank you guys for the info!!!
Is v.2 worth the upgrade or shall I stay on v.1 until next update?

[need help] Play Store does not recognize my note correctly

Hi guys, since a few days, maybe a week i am having troubles with play store everytime i update a rom.
i'm on paranoidandroid from utacka with HC kernel 7.5.
at the moment the play store does not allow me to install many apps in a random (to my eyes) pattern.
for example i installed backstab a while ago while it was on sale and i cannot see it anymore...
same happens for many other apps...
anyone got a clue?
Try to clean the data of play store app. And wipe dalvik cache and try again.
Done that. I also tried to restore a backup copy of the store from before the rom update without any success. Now I'm back to my previous version will give it another try ASAP.
Keep the tips flowing please

and here we go again... i just updated the rom and play store acts weirdly again.
now i managed to get access to all of the apps on the playstore app but i do not see my galaxy note appearing on the web playstore.
already tried:
Flashing again the rom
clearing data from playstore
deleting and readding account on Gnote
logging out and in again on web playstore.
now... uninstalled playstore, through TiBu and reinstalled with apk from androidpolice.
atm the playstore is showing the 2nd copy of my galaxy note...
but many of the apps were not compatible with my device.
rebooted to recovery, wiped cache and data (factory reset)
rebooted to system, let the play store recover my old apps, then reinstalled the missing one (becouse of non compatibility) using TiBu and enabled the market for foreign apps with market enabler.
looks like solved...
at least for now...
last famous words... again i can use my device from web but most of the apps are not allowed for my phone... what can i do now? my god.. i'm hating it... nite people.. i hope someone comes with some ideas couse i tried all that comes to my mind...

[Q] Problem with Omar MOD

Hello. I've been using Omar mod since it was released, but I decided to install the clean room EUJBRetail. I installed it, and the MOD only that, the system has frozen several times a day, being forced to restart. I tried full WIPE, DAVILK Wipe, Wipe Cache / date, and nothing. I took a picture of the Logcat, hope it helps. I'm using google translator, thanks. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry I can not post links. :crying:
Unfortunately this log is useless. The only errors are due to the kernel, but nothing which explains your freezes.

For OMAR MOD you need deodex ROM? i think so
No unread counts with Omar Mod and Shaftenberg's SMS
So here I have another problem with the Mod.
Since the MMS modification from omar never worked on my System, I installed shaftenbergs MMS package over every Omar Update. (works fine)
The only problem is - whether it's the Nova (with tesla unread) or Apex launcher - I have no unread counts on my homescreen for sms.
Any clues?
thanks in advance

[Q] I've no Social Life

I'm have problems with the social life app. It used to work fine but when I updated to FW to a Euro generic when ever I try to start the app it asks me to pick my language/country and gives me the T&C's , I accept but then I am sent to the Play store to download Sony Account Manager which it says isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
LOL can't stop laughing at your title.
Anyway, wipe the data settings / apps / social life / clear data. Do a reboot.
If that doesn't work uninstall social life, titanium backup may be needed to remove it.
Then go play store and download it again.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried this several times. Everytime I try to sign up I pick Sony Entertainment Network and it takes me to the Play Store to download Account Manager. I don't use/have a Facebook account. I am trying to think have I removed something from System/Apps that I shouldn't have done.

To my extent of knowledge, it may actually have something to do with that "Account Manager." I remember seeing that on my phone as well but I deleted also, since I do not use SEN.
your best way is to start fresh again if you dont know what you've deleted that may have caused this issue.
1-Back up all your internal files (whatsapp, data counter, messages, etc...) and sync whatever (calenders. task, notes etc...)
2-Repair it through Sony PCC or Sony Update Service, or Flash another FTF file and wipe everything.
3-Download all your apps again and restore them one by one.
Flash German .253 ftf. I had same problem, but the German firmware had this preloaded.

Resoure Apps and data to Z2 Pro

---- I MEANT RESTORE -----
Hi all,
Since the stock Rom doesn't come with the Google apps and services I was not being asked to log into my Gmail account nor could I restore apps and data from my current Xperia Z3.
So question : is there a way to install Google Apps so that one can use the restore option thus getting most of my zpps and data back onto my Zuk??
Thanks!

higher level "rom"

Hi all, as there are plenty of driver problems for building roms, is there some way to replace apps and settings in stock rom to the ones in lineageos or aosp? Basically a script to remove currently apps ,and download and install apps. So tired of EMUI. I just want a working stock android or lineageos, and I don't care if it is built from source. Thanks!
I'm always rooting my phone, uninstalling apps and install some custom ones .... sms, browser, theme, etc. (yes, uninstalling sms program, browser, and uninstalling THEME app, and what you want, but you need root)
So its possible to replace a stock settings app?

Yes, even on old builds! I uninstalled them with AMC Security (antivirus too) and with something called Premium Uninstaller, idk
And what Settings app would you use? That doesn't work.
