Help - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I'm obviously new.. I flash many roms but it is so annoying that I always have to back up my apps with astro file manager but is there an easier was of backing up all my apps and everything else on the previous ROM so i don't have to through that extra crap to get everything perfect like my previous ROM.

Assuming you are rooted since you are flashing that many ROMs, don't most people use Titanium Backup? Has a batch mode to back up all system data and user apps... then I restore the ones I want.

Agreed. Titanium Backup can be downloaded for free from the Market and can be used to back up your apps to your SD card for later restoration.

+3 on Titanium Backup. Well worth the six bucks or so that it costs. Itll restore market links and apps alike. Theyve even got an auto restore feature. The free version is nice, but nothing beats the 0 click restore of the pro version.

Ti doesn't install data correctly on sense 3.0 roms. Just food for thought.

How so? Works perfectly on my end and Im on Synergy with 3.0 sense. Whens the last time you updated? 3.8.8.1 pro restores everything I need back to where it belongs and Ive not had any issues on that front.

Your lucky as many others have had issues restoring data (not system data, just app data) including me. Yes, I was on the latest release.
EDIT...
I use (my backup pro) now and it's been flawless for restoring apps and app data.

This is the first Ive heard about it to be honest. What ROM are you on? Perhaps try another one? Us Synergy users arent having any issues with this.

[Q] Titanium Backup & GSB v3.1

I'm having an issue with Titanium Backup and restoring my apps properly. I've been using workshed's ROM for quite a while without issues. I recently went from GSB v3.0 to GSB 3.1. I always do full & dalvik wipes when flashing. In the past, I was able to restore my apps and data from Titanium without issue.
But now, the restore process just powers through all the apps very quickly, says it's done, but nothing is actually restored. I dont mind having to download the apps again, but losing my data kinda sucks. Anyone else have this issue?
P.S. I would post in the ROM development thread, but I'm not allowed yet...sigh.
I had that too. Only 5 apps actually backed up before I flashed. I also full wiped data and dalvic before the flash and it looks as if the problem came during 3.0 when I was backing up. Titanium, in my experience didn't like 3.0 very well. It's working great on 3.1 though so idk what to tell you. Once the data is gone, it's gone.
P. S. - if you ever have another q for shed I can post it for you. Just shoot me a pm with a link to the post and I'll quote it over there for you if I can't answer it for you.
Sent from my ERIS ADR6200 using XDA Premium App
luckily, i did a full nand backup before flashing, so I guess I could always wipe and go back to 3.0 to monkey around with Titanium some more if i want.
i really don't want to start Angry Birds over again....lol
Why are you playing that on an Eris, is the real question. lol
Sent from my ERIS ADR6200 using XDA Premium App
not gonna lie...it can be painful on an Eris, lol. but i'm stuck with it for about 2 months, so I make do.
Well, all I can tell you is that when I had tried to run it, there was a full game unlocker on the market for free. Don't know if it's still there but you could look.

I found Titanium acting weird on 3.1 as well. Just downloaded a new busybox and everything worked fine. Maybe shed has a bad busybox file in 3.1?
Maybe. Might want to check it out.
Sent from my ERIS ADR6200 using XDA Premium App
I noted that GSB 3.0 uses Busybox V1.16.2. The latest one is V1.18.4 - with a TON of updates leading up to this latest version (one, a memory leak fix). Perhaps Shed could roll the latest version into GSB 3.2?

Has anyone found a working MyVerizon apk that will work with the 7/30 nightly synergy rom? I've tried multiple apk files found in other threads addressing this issue, but I always install it and then get a maintenance error. I've ran the fix permissions tool in Rom Manager but still no luck. Is there any suggestions for this issue?

Thanks for the attempt to help. I already had the sso engine, but just for the hell of it I decided to go ahead and redownload this one. After installing this engine I had the same issue as before. Im not a developer so I have no idea what could be the problem, but it would be great if someone could figure this out. I believe many people who have the new capped data plans would appreciate this.

Unfortunately, ATM there is not a working MyVerizon for Gingerbread ROMs. The problem exists on Verizon's end. They won't build an app for Thunderbolts with Gingerbread because officially the Thunderbolt doesn't have Gingerbread.
The price we pay for rooting, I guess.
I want it back too but I can wait. I'm not sacrificing root access for one app.

Any luck on modifying the updated version?
I am assuming you get the message that you have to install some vz log in software to use the app if so I found a work around. i loaded the latest ruu and backed up all system data using titanium. Once I did that I flashed back to bamf and then used titanium to restore the com.vzw.permissions apk once I did that I rebooted and my Verizon started to work. When I get to work tomorrow ill try to post the apk so we can see if it works for others
Ok guys try this:

It should install no problem, but if you guys have a problem drop the file into system/app folder using root explorer. Once installed reboot then download my Verizon from the market.

I dont remember which forum I got this from. but from what I understand is it's a backup of hulu off a droidx, use TI backup to restore. in the original thread people from other phones were saying it was working, so I'm hopeful it'll help us too until Hulu officially supports... Problem is need root for TI I'm still having issues getting the temp root, so maybe someone that did get that working can give it a shot.

That's weird, I used the ti backup that I posted earlier on 1.4.1 without doing anything extra.... Fc or buffering network problems? x is using an adfree base, if it's network problems need to use adfree and do a revert or mod your hosts to stock... Which you probably know anyway, but just a reminder

I'll give that a try.
Yeah it shows up as "It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later."
But when I flash 1.2.1 it clears right up. I tried pushing the 1.2.1 build.prop over and that doesn't make any difference. I'll try the adfree bit as you suggested.
EDIT:
Holy sh!#
It actually worked. You sir... are a GODSEND! You have no clue. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. Hulu+ was the only reason I was staying on 1.2.0.
Thanks for the tip!

yes when you do a nandroid backup, and then restore it. as they said above it holds some data for the apps, especially if you did one of those "move2sd" things. If i dont back it up and restore it, the app will either not be installed, or not open properly
