[Q] Cant install certain apps no matter what - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I ve a touchwiz omega rom 4.1.2 rom installed perfectly running on my S3 I9300. I ve flashed countless roms, kernels, etc all my phone´s life without any problem.
A month ago I ve odexed the whole system with Universal odex script (if this info is usefull). Used the main rom now odexed for a whole month working perfectly.
The problem is that now I want to move to AOSP and I cant install certain apps when I flash a new rom.
I cant get to install tasker now for example.
my first rom is working perfect like I ve told you before.. I ve made a complete TWRP backup of all partitions (data, system, cache, delvkik, preload, etc) just to be safe, and started tring to move to an AOSP rom.
SO:
I ve made a COMPLETE phone reset.. using MEGAWIPE.. formated ALL partitions with TWRP, internal SD, preload, system, data, cache, dalvkik, everything)
Then I ve installed CM10.1 as first rom..
Cm10.1 boots, then I go to developer options and enable USB debuggin, and in security enable Unknown sources..
- The installed titanium backup and tried to restore the tasker backup of my first rom.. didnt work..
- then I ve downloaded another tasker 4.1u3 version from aptoide. --> "app not installed"
- Then I ve downloaded 3 different version of the tasker.apk from the web--> "app not isntalled" error when I tried to install.
- Tried using my backup Pro.. failed
- tried installed manually the apk in data/app.. doesnt work
- tried different roms, kernels,
- tried restoring and old twrp backup, backup the tasker on that rom, clean install a new rom and restore the backup.. failed.
Performed a new whole phone reset.. installed temasek cm 10.2.. run tasker.apk on the new clean rom.. -> App not installed..
Same happens with LMT launcher.. even when downloading it from play store..
I ve restored my omega 4.1.2 touchwiz odexed and everything is OK. But I cant manage to install a new rom a port all my apps to the new rom, because no matter what, tasker, LMT, LINK2sd, and other apps just DONT get installed..
I ve 350 user apps.. when I install a new rom, and use titanium backup to restore, 320 aprox get restored without problem, and 30 apps (including tasker) just cant get installed no matter what
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE: I ve installed tasker.. Gapps needed to be installed.
I still have 20 apps I cannot install, including LMT launcher 1.912..

Solved..
Tips..
-If you odex your data/app then you cant restore those apps with titanium backup in another rom.. (so keep a backup off all apps before odexing, and restore that and then backup DATA from those apks to new rom)
- Some apps require gapps installed to work (tasker)
-If there is data from an app in data/data then you cant install the app if you dont delete first
-If theres is an .odex left behind in data/app then you cant install the app again without deleting odex

[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] Question about PACman rom and backuping

Hello guys,
I have a question about that PACman rom from this thread. Currently I have this ParanoidAndroid rom with modified FXP136 kernel. Have I to do a full wipe of my phone to install it? Teoretically this and that are same (4.1) version of rom and I don't really want to delete all apps configs, PA settings, etc.
Or if I have to, there is second question - how can I backup EVERYTHING (except rom of course, CWM backup is not what I want) - this include apps, application configs, wifi settings, last calls, sms (ok, this can be skipped, because I already knew and used SMS Backup And Restore or something like that), even icons, etc from Trebutchet?
Ouh, I would do a nandroid backup and after that:
1. Flash pacman without wiping data, flash the recommend kernel for pacman and see if it boots, if not restore your nandroid backup.
2. Back up your data/apps using titanium backup, maybe titanium could backup trebutchet with all data (+icons), but I'm not sure

If you don't care about the apps that you have installed, and just want to save the PA config then you can use the backup part of paranoid preferences. Then when you install the PAC rom just restore with your PA settings.
Cheers,
Evil.
Thanks for your respond.
I wiped /cache partition and installed this PACman rom. It runs fine without wiping, just Paranoid settings was overwritten, but it's not big problem at all, whole settings of the phone stayed. Next day I'll write if I'll get any problem with this or not (I have to test everything).
By the way, can anyone tell me which apks or just applications are in this PACman rom by default? I want to check if there is everything what should be.

[Q] Unfreeze/Defrost without Titanium Backup

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] 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

Flash apps from twrp by making zip of them (to avoid reinstalling apps again and agai

I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .
To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.
I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.
And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?
Use nandroid Backup

Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.

Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .

There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer @jrummy
please try that too and report back .
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.
Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"
But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)

I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.
If i remember There are 2 options in miui
1-User settings
2-Apps and data
If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.
Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.
