[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

Break the chains from Samsung Gear manager

Who else would be keen on that? Every time something goes wrong and you need to re do the blue tooth you are forced to restore with the gear manager removing all your files and apps

If you do a TWRP backup on the Gear first, after doing the restore from Gear Manager, do a restore of data only in TWRP on the Gear and it will restore all apps, settings, widgets etc.
I know it's not ideal, but I've done it with the last couple of Gear Manager updates and it sets everything on the Gear up as it was before the Gear Manager update.

The /sdcard partition is untouched during a restore. If you have to do it through Gear Manager, I recommend using Titanium to back the apps up, redownload Titanium from Play after the restore, then restore all apps.

agree and have done this but the bluetooth password seems to change?

Iv considered looking into this, although it would be to much maintenance.. Hardly worth it.
I would recommend simply backing up your configuration's of your apps to sdcard eg. launcher (nova in my case), tasker & zooper widgets, pull the APK's from your gear of your installed apps & pull your sdcard data.
I dont use recovery backup whats so ever, I simply do the above and it literally takes 3 minutes to restore my setup.

What bluetooth password?

Where does gear save the backup?

I installed galaxy gear on my gt-i9505 s4 with cm11. I got it working at first but could not use gears notification system but used ATN manager. In my striving to get the most out of it, I tried to factory restore the gear, and now gear manager asks me every time to either reset it or restore the backup it has. Now both of these fail. And because it worked the first time when there was no backup I wish to find the directory where Gear manager keeps the saved data. I have so far not been able to find it. It's not any of the preinstalls from the gear manager, not from gear manager itself nor is it fetched from a server. So where is it? Could someone point me in the right direction?

I had the same issues I deleted .BTManager_backup on the root of the sdcard on my HTC one and it was able to work correctly again with out asking to restore or reset.

Thank you soo much! It did the trick and now it works again. ☺

Awesome. Glad I could help

Thanks man. Been looking for this all night. So once removed the gear will connect without any of those pesky options but do you see any issues? Does the setting app show up on gear manager?

Settings app? I can set things in gear manager like what the power button does and such if that is what you mean.

Here is the location

Gear Manager asking me to restore backup

HI,
I have just reinstalled ROM null 22.1 on my Gear after a full wipe because I did'nt have the notification on incoming call. Now Gear Manager wants me to restore a previous backup when I pair the gear. When I choose restore, it stops at 67% and the reinitialisation doesn't work.
I don't care about the backup I just want to delete it and I can't find where it is stored.
Thanks for your help
Cyril

there should be a button in bottom right corner saying something like "factory reset" or restart.

Indeed but it doesn't work the application stops.
if i could find where is this backup maybe i could delete it so it won't ask me to restore it.
I even reset my phone but it stills asks me to retore this backup.

I'm having this same issue. Would you mind being a bit specific on your fix?

I fixed it by deleting the ".BM_Backup" folder from my phones storage card.**
**NOTE: Once you start up Gear Manager again, it will say that there is no phone backup and it will RESTORE YOU PHONE TO FACTORY SETTINGS. If you use null_ then it will restore it back to how it was right after you ran Aroma installer and rebooted the phone.

gear wants to reset back to factory defaults

I installed a new rom and setup my phone again when I connected my gear 2 in gear manager I got a message saying
" your gear will be reset to factory default settings. All the settings and downloaded application data related to your Gear will be deleted and the Gear will be reconnected to the mobile device."
my options are "cancel" "ok"
if I hit cancel it disconnects Bluetooth.
any idea why it would have to set back the watch to defaults ?
guess I could backup this rom dump my old one and backup with titanium backup save it then just restore it on this rom , but not sure if its just gear manager I need to backup or what else there is.
anyone have a way around this ? , it connected fine through Bluetooth .

I had same problem.
I see no solution here
I found work around, it's working:
Before new ROM i made Titan um backup .
After new ROM as usual I restore only APP+DATA.
All application OK after restore but not Gear manager and it's stuff...
I got FC and could not use.
If I uninstall all gear stuff I get "your gear will be reset to factory default settings..."
So I restored all gear stuff and reinstall just gear manager, during instalation i got few FC
but after installation finished all become OK.
Please your advice for normal restore...
