User apps + data = FC??

[mikel.canovas]

After flashing some new roms lately, I've been unable to restore my user apps with data, or else the apps will force close (weirdly, some apps work okay with a data restore, but the vast majority will fc). Also, when trying to restore back to my old rom (AOKP) via Nandroid, I get an error saying cannot mount /data, stopping the process. I tried deleting all my backups, making new ones, flashing stock, and yes I follow the OP exactly. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this issue either on this ROM or another one. Any help appreciated, thanks.

To restore a Nandroid, you actually have to flash the rom first, then after it fully boots up restore your Nandroid. As for Apps and data, try restoring the apps first, rebooting, then restoring the data.

Referring to your app restore suggestion. That doesn't work. I've tried it

Then i don't what else to suggest. You tried downloading apps fresh, then restoring your backed up data?

Common issue for me. Just wipe data first and it should work. No need to flash the ROM

Are you saying restore app + data. Then wipe data. Then restore data again?

Use TiBu instead of Nandroid. Only had issue with porting my WiFi settings from GB to ICS.

But in general restoring apps with settings and data is a pain. That prevents me from becoming flash junkie.

I understand your concern with using nandroid. That was just a side statement. The issue is restoring USER apps with data. Why is this occurring now when it has never occurred before

I just want to add that this exact same thing has happened to me on a variety of ICS ROMS (including AOKP M5) and I too follow the installation instructions including wiping and formatting.

Very annoying.

Sorry, sorry. I was specifically referring to the nandroid backup issue. IF while restoring, you can't get past "Cannot mount /data!", THEN wipe data, and continue restoring data by doing advanced restore from there (so you don't have to restore /boot and /system again...)

Ah okay. Thanks for the tip.

So no one has any idea what's the cause of this. Everyone who has come across this issue, including myself, seem to have no clue how to fix it. There's basically an exact same q&a thread on vibrant forums with the same issue and there's like 5 people there who cannot figure out why

What happens if you dl from market without restoring data? Still get fc's?

 

[mikel.canovas]

without restoring data? No FC. After restoring data, FC.

Hey Mikel I just flashed Docs Master v11 which just came out. For the first time in a long time I did not have the app f/c problem at all. Everything ran fine right from TIBU restore.

I flashed this ROM exactly the same way as I've flashed the last few AOKP roms. Hmmmm..
