Restoring app data via TiBu on ICS ROMS = FC

Is anyone else having this issue? More importantly, has anyone else solved this problem? I've searched (as effectively as I can via mobile) and found a thread or two discussing it, but no one seems to have a solution.

Regardless of the ROM, it seems that a lot of apps immediately FC when I open them after restoring their data. Installing the app by itself works fine, but the moment I attempt to restore the data I get the FCs.

It's quite infuriating really, as it's preventing me from trying any MIUI ROMs because I can't get them to boot without doing a data wipe (no, I won't run a ROM without my apps' data, sorry)

Checking and unchecking the "follow all symbolic links" option hasn't worked either.

Basically, HALP!

I only had this problem because I was using a datafix script and didn't have the symbolic links option checked. I lost all my data because of this. Now would be a good time to check if my new backups even work...

EDIT: They work fine... Maybe try deleting all of yours and doing it again, and have symbolic links checked.

Sorry I never replied, I had a response typed out and never posted it =/

My problem seems to have disappeared after coming back to SimplyAOKP from my nandroid. I don't actually use a datafix script.

Here's what prompted me to post this:

I wanted to try out the port of Andy's MIUI v4, so I wiped all of my backups and made new ones (didn't check the symbolic links option before backup) as well as a nandroid. After flashing MIUI, I'd say about half of my apps worked fine. The rest FC'd immediately. Now that I'm back on SimplyAOKP, the backups work fine =/

After thinking about it, I realized that I usually move my larger apps to the SD, and never did that on MIUI. So in the end, the FCs mightve come from my datadata partition being full (I never checked, just figured it was the same old backup problem and nandroided back) . If the problem resurfaces, I'll post back here and hope for the best.
