I installed Lollipop and had some random crashes (google search), and some laggyness.
So I decided to do a factory reset from the settings screen.
I was hoping to use the new Lollipop backup and restore feature, but after resetting it only offered the tap & go restore.
Does anyone know if there's a way to force a Google/Android restore from the Google backups online?
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue where google talk kept force closing on opening. I'm rooted so I thought it was a good idea since I backed up everything via titanium backup when I first switched over to uninstall it via Titanium, then reinstall it. Of course now for whatever reason titanium doesn't give me the ability to restore the application. Anyone know how to fix this? I think I just need the google apps apk but I don't know where to get the most recent package of them. I had google talk 1.3 installed and its different for froyo. I can always go back to my original nandroid backup if its not possible but I'd lose all the customizations and app installs/uninstalls since. Thanks for the help.
Flash the rom you have installed again.
Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.

Titanium Backup
Recently I had some problems with my phone (how you can see in the hid content) and I was instructed to do a system reset as the only way to solve it.
I'm kind of layman, so... can someone help me? Tks.
My device is the Moto X 2014 (XT1097). It is rooted but I didn't install any custom ROM.
Copied and pasted from my post on Reddit:
I uninstalled some apps trough the Titanium Backup (Downloads Manager, Downloads, E-mail, Google Chrome and Talkback). Luckily I had a backup of it, I restored it and restarted the phone. After it, every time I open the gallery or the Play Store the warning "android.process.media has stopped" pops up... actually, it pops up all the time, I barely can use my phone. Can someone help me?

EDIT: I've just disabled the "auto-sync" option and the warning has stopped but I really want to find a solution that lets me auto-sync my apps. Please, help.
EDIT²: Ok. The warning is back.
If system files are missing or damaged, a factory reset won't help. You would need to reflash the system image. Otherwise, a factory reset could fix it if data things are messed up.
Hi Guys,
Without root, what is the best way to back up my Note5 to do a complete restore?
I don't find android very clever at resets and restores (its weakest point) as half the apps don't get reinstalled automatically and the settings all need re-entering manually. I've tried helium but it doesn't do a complete job of it. I also back up Nova (using its own back up). Battery isn't great at the moment so want to start with a reset.
Any other good suggestions for checking whats sucking apps? I use GSAM at the moment...
thanks
