[Q] Unfreeze/Defrost without Titanium Backup - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
Using SGS 2, Rootet, CWM-based Recovery 6.0.3.1, AOKP-Rom patched with OpenPDroid
I was experiencing some Battery Drain and found an app that was using CPU all time.
Used Titanium Backup to freeze that app.
The app was "Einstellungsspeicher" (Guess something like "Settingsstore" in English) and it was NOT marked as system-app. But still i haven't installed it manually.
Unfortunately the system wasnt able to boot afterwards.
Id like to keep my data, so a factory reset is not the first choice, but the last resort.
Is there anything i can do to unfreeze/defrost the app?
[Q] Can i just flash the patched AOKP-Rom again and the system-apps will be restored (and the normal apps will still be installed)?
[Q] Is there a recovery-zip i can install to defrost all apps that are frosted?
[Q] Can i defrost it manually?
[Q] When i made a backup with CWM after i freezed that app, can i install the rom, then recover the "normal apps" by doing a advanced restore? what would i have to restore in order to not restore the frost-state?

What kind of data u want to save?
I think u should check ur choosen ROM for auto wipe during install feature.
Look the thread and name the ROM btw
If its non autowipe u should just flash it again from recovery without any wipes. all the user apps will remain

Thanks for that. I flashed it again, but the system still wont boot up. At least i got my boot animation back, so i guess the system-settings have been reverted already. (I disabled that animation in the settings before)
Since it still wont boot, I guess the question is still how i could possibly defrost the app from CWM.
The flashed rom was http: -- aokp.co - devices - i9100 Milestone 1 (2013-04-16)
I want to keep the app-data i stored since the last backup (which was when i installed the rom last time, a few weeks back).
If i could backup that data for certain apps now, i could make a factory reset.

BTW Uve got a Titanium Backup for freezing, but did u have any apps backup made?
try clear cache and dalvic in recovery after flashing rom.Reboot
If u made cwm backup with normal boot try advanced restore. Step by step trying to restore parts
U can upload cwm backup somewhere and send me a link via PM. Ill have a look

[Q] few questions about flashing

Hey guys i have a few questions, i have installed custom recovery and megatron rom. my question is
1)is it true everytime we boot our phone into custom recovery our phone will ne automatically taken to the factory reset?
2)for example, i want to install void rom, should i just straight forward install the rom eventhough i got megatron rom applied?
3)how do i overclock my phone, i have installed megatron rom but cant find any
4)how to create folders in the menu for tue megatron rom, i want to separate my downloaded apps wih my preinstalled apps from each other. There is no options available to create folder when i press options button in the menu. it sucks that my downloaded apps are together with my preinstalled apps
5)how to backup my downloaded apps, say, everytime if u boot ur phone into custom recover via three button combo your phone will taken to the factry reset and your downpoaded apps are gone right. so how to after i custom recovery, then restore my missing apps after factore reset my phone. i know theres two way to do that, with the custom recovery itself nand backup and titanium backup. but im not really sure how. Especially the tianium backup, say, i backup my files using titanium backup, then i install rom or something through custom recovery then of course, my downloaded apps will be gone after i reboot my phone right, and of course my tianium backup will be gone too. so how do i restore my apps if my titanium backp is gone.

[Q] problem with phone boot a/ freezing launcher

so, i did a stupid thing.
i used Titanium Backup in order to check if the Vilian Rotating menu is from the launcher he's using.
so i tried to freeze it and forgot the the phone cant act with no launcher.
how can i unfreeze it? can i do it with CMW recovery?
is there a way for me not to install again?because i wasnt able last time to use the backup to move my data to cognition and i didnt backup before i freezed it.
anyone got an idea how to make it happen?
BTW i cant turn the phone on beyong the boot animation.
using Vilian and chainfire kernel, KG3 MODEM if any of it relevent
did you do any backup from CWM ( or nandroid backup as it is called).
Or you can try to re-install the rom again without wipe-data, should preserve your data that way
didnt work.still stuck on boot animation
but do you know of a way to back up apps and data from vilian and for it to be usable at cognition?
Titanium Backup would work. But you need to boot into your phone to do the backup first. I would suggest reflashing the current rom (i.e. villain) again WITHOUT wiping data/factory reset (you can clear the cache and delvik cache). In that way you won't lose anything and the launcher freeze problem will be fixed (hopefully)

[Q] Recover Data From a Boot Loop Backup?

Hi guys,
Firstly I'll say that the boot loop isn't directly the issue. All I had to do was reset the user data and it fired straight up, but I don't want to lose my data so I'll explain what has happened and hopefully you can help me.
The boot loop was actually triggered by simply selecting a theme in MIUI, and because of this I had not backed up in CWM. I didn't think something I'd done so many times before would actually do this, and it caught me off guard.
After trying a few other things like clearing cache etc., it became clear that a user data reset was my only option. However, I decided to do a backup in CWM before performing this, on the possibility that I may be able to retrieve this data somehow afterwards.
So what I have now is a working phone and broken backup that when restored results in a boot loop. What I would like to know is if there is anything I can do with this backup to restore my settings, texts, app data etc. or if it's simply taking up space.
I have ADB installed and working, and out of interest I used shell to find out what was running whilst the system was caught in the boot loop. I forget the name now, but I recall there was a process that was using most of CPU. Killing it did nothing unfortunately and it fired straight up again. I must warn you that this is pretty much the extent of my knowledge with shell aside from navigating the file system.
With Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) you can restore your apps using an option in that to extract from CWM backup...
If you are back to the same version of the MIUI rom you can try restoring system apps too one by one monitoring the issue....
Wow, thanks for that; very useful to know! I do actually have the paid version of Titanium Backup so I'll give it a go.

I like the sound of that, unfortunately when I try "Advanced Restore" it tells me no files are found.

that means your CWM backup was unsuccessfull,
did you watch the process, it reach the end till creating MD5 checksum? and completed successfully?

I did, yes. I also have many other backups in there that restore correctly but do not show up under "Advanced Restore" for some reason.
then try Titanium backup, you may sometimes need to copy the backup to externel SD clockworkmode folder to detect from TB...
goodluck

Getting important data (call logs, whatsapp messages etc) from CWM backup?

I'm having an issue right now. Somehow made my device go into constant bootloops [edit: not bootloop, but rather the boot animation plays forever] (I was on temasek rom, and kernel, flashed boefffla, came back, somehow after a few various flashes). Now I get bootloop even when all I do is install the rom, without a custom kernel. Made a CWM backup from that, and restored to an old backup.
Now is it possible for me to extract the relevant data from my newly made CWM backup? I only need stuff like call logs, whatsapp messages, messages and etc.
PS. Currently making the CWM backup. I tried to resolve the bootloop by wiping cache, dalvik cache but to no avail. Gonna factory reset and restore to an old CWM backup soon.
Hey
( I havent tried this but) u can use philz recovery..it has an option for custom restore..

Philz recovery you can use advanced restore to restore data from a backup but I don't think you can restore single app data (I maybe wrong on that) I have used it a few times without any problems.Also the paid version of Titanium Backup you can restore individual apps from a backup:good:As for the individual data not sure but I presume if you restore the apk it will restore the data for these apps..Maybe somebody knows a little more
Have a look for "Nandroid Manager" in the play store.
I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works...

Any data in a backup can be extracted so long as that data isn't corrupt. Multiple "nandroid explorers" available

Thanks guys. Used nandroid manager, and got my smses from it. Well, second time I'm facing this issue on Temasek rom. Reinstall of the rom, kernel, resetting kernel settings does nothing.
Looks like I have to reset my device to factory AGAIN for the second time in 2 days.
This is crazy. I gotten this issue no less than 10 times on CM10.2 Maybe I should go up to CM11 again, but 4.4 has so many incompatible apps (easy voice recorder for me).
Nandroid manager doesn't work properly. It says "success" on restroring whatsapp, but doesn'tactually work right, since when I test it by uninstalling whatsapp first, and then restoring using the nandroid manager, it asks me to reverify my number when I open the app. (if it restore properly, it should not ask you to reverify number, like in TitaniumBackup)
why dont u try to do it with titanium? i guess it should be easier

[Q] All apps crash after installing rom update

Hey guys, I have the ViperX+ 2.0.1 rom, but my problem is not really about the rom itself.
A week ago the ota update got released, so I made a backup and installed t, but as I already expected it there was
the same problem I had before: After loading and adjusting all apps it loads my wallpaper, but after that all apps crash,
so I have to turn the phone off by pressing the power button. This is caused by the app LuckyPatcher. In LuckyPatcher
there's a feature which installs a modded playstore, when I installed it for the first time restarted the device but after booting
all apps kept crashing, so I had to restore a backup, then I changed the modded playstore version and it worked fine.
Now back to the ota update problem: I installed the original play store with luckypatcher and removed the app,
then I installed the update and all apps crashed again, so removing luckypatcher doesn't help anymore
(restored the data via backup again). Have you guys any idea how to fix this, cause my latest backup is a few months old..
Or should I just backup my data and do a full wipe? If yes what should I backup in TWRP (only data or boot too,
cause I don't know which of them contains the broken files), or use something like Titanium Backup. I don't mind if I have to set
all the options and tweaks manually again, I just want to keep my files (music, pics, apps, etc.),
so which way would you recommend me? Thanks in advance

You should wipe / factory reset before you install any ROM. These apps you're loading, how are you loading it ? Through backup or play store ? Is it system apps or downloaded apps ?

By loading apps I mean the usual process after booting the phone, it says ''Android wird aktualisiert'' (Android gets updated).
*edit: I guess fixing the problem would be much more complicated than performing a full wipe, so which way to backup my data (as written in the main post) would you recommend me?

Do a factory reset from TWRP. You will lose your text messages and apps ect. If you don't want to go through the process of re-downloading your apps, you can use titanium backup and backup apps but not app data (not recommended). Flashing roms without doing a wipe/factory reset = hot mess. Unless otherwise said no wipe needed.
Edit just keep check of the Rom discussion to see if anyone has the same problem. Try wiping then install 2.01 make a complete boot then install ota
