[Q] backing up cached Google music - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've been flashing ROMs for a while but have not been able to figure out how to back up my Google music so o don't lose it on a clean flash.
I'm thinking if I go to /data/data/com.Google.music/files and move it to my SD card that I could flash and move it back afterwards. Can someone confirm this for me?

As far as I can tell; anything you manually chose to save offline should get restored* when restoring app with data through Titanium. As for the regularly cached after playing, haven't seen a way.
-edit
*Automatically re downloads for offline use. Not quite "restored."

Yeah, I went 10gb over my 5gb plan because of re-download and not monitoring it close enough.

Yeah, wish there was a way to set it to download only on WiFi but also force it over mobile if one chose to. At least one option exists, even if it is a pain to manually switch when needed. Here's hoping for such a setting in a future update..

Whats the difference between clicking a Force mobile sync and Changing the Setting to sync on both anyway ?

Oh come on!
There's a thread about this on Q&A; didn't anybody notice that this thread is in the wrong section?

I meant that you have the ability to have it only download over WiFi so mobile data doesn't get used unexpectedly. Some apps have similar settings but include the ability to "force" the download on mobile. Presently, you can switch the settings on the fly to accomplish this, but it's not ideal. That's all I meant.

Disabling Apps ? and Caution

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

[Q] Market has missing apps, especially one that are installed and/or purchased

hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.

Try wiping data in Google Play, and let it rebuild your list. You may need to use Titanium backup for this.

This has happened to me before, and wiping the data should fix it. I was able to do it without Titanium through the app manager.

You could try manually flashing a different Google play version and let it upgrade automatically. This happened to me once and that fixed it for me.

The problem is FRUSTRATING the "F" out of me with Google Play. I have a rooted and running AKOP epicmtd milestone 5.2 and when I go to download certian apps (even ones I already had before on my apps list), I get a black box that says "This device isn't compatible with this version" It's making me crazy because there are LOTS of apps that are pretty common that I use I cant download. Like Facebook for instance. But there are more important ones that I count on that I cant get back. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solve this problem?? I sure could use some help cause Im bout ready to throw this thing at my annoying step daughter LOL! Thanks

Did you change your lcd resolution? That makes apps incompatible for your device.

Hey Kenny, I followed the directions to the LCD settings thing here, and now I cant get into Play at all! GRRR. it says something about background data needing to be enabled, but when I click on the option box to "enable" this background data, it takes me to "accounts and sync" and from there I dont know what the heck to do. Ive rebooted from there, Ive done this process over and over about 5 times and it's still not working and now some of my app icons have been changed to the little android guy. VERY confused now EESH!! Anymore ideas?
Thanks,
Ridge
Reflash the ROM..isn't that standard density? It probably wants you to enable gmail sync and sign in.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
At the very top of accounts and sync in the settings you will see background data... check the box... background data has to run for the market to run

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.
Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.
I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

Notifications keeps resetting back to silent.

I'm sure it's an app that's causing this issue, buy I cant figure this out. My notifications keep resetting to silent some how. Mainly my email notification sounds and occasionally my text message sounds.
Anyone experience this too, or found the culprit?
Do you installed any battery saver app? If yes check the setting for this app and stop the "auto turn off sync"
or install an app called " auto sync" available in the store..

Yeah I was going to tell you to go check what was the last thing you installed last? That might b causing the problem your having! Fyi
Most of those battery app's are junk and don't really help you! That's why I learned with my Skyrocket, not to use unnecessary app's. I've tried everything with that phone. And over time you'll see what is good and what is junk!
So NOW if you want to clear out the audio setting!
Then go into setting, applications, All, setting, clear data, reboot into recovery and then wipe cache & dalvik and see if it's still happening. After you set up your audio sounds! Might b something that was, corrupt in the data causing it!

Clearing out your setting data, you don't need to b rooted to do that FYI.
And another thing if it's a real problem for you then do a FDR [factory data reset] and you should b good to go then.
I'll say search read and you'll find your answer!!

Hey, I found out the issue to this problem.. Not sure if it can be posted somewhere as "Fixed"...or maybe I should start another post with the original post inside it for reference??
I had my Ringtones/Notification sounds I downloaded from the web or created on my SD Memory card. I was using the sounds from there and not the device. I have now copied and pasted them into the Ringtone and Notification folders on my Device itself and they stay.
To test this, I used 2 different Google e-mail accounts and set 1 Ringtone/Notification sound from my Device and the other Gmail account to a Ringtone/Notification sound from my SD memory card. The one from my memory card kept changing to a 5 Digit number. The other one didn't..
I hope this helps others????

Duplicate Apps

Hey. Is there a way to create a duplicate game app so I can manage two profiles? I used to do it on my iPhone all the time, but I haven't figured out how to do it on Android yet. Any help is appreciated.

There might be a way for experienced modders and the like. You could edit the package name and it's manifest prevent it from overwriting the current app. I have no clue how to do this though. Another option is to find another device and just install it there. I think the latter would be a lot simpler and easier. Hope I helped!
Sent from my Galaxy S3
I may try to look through some things to do it. Whenever I unzip an apk, edit what I want, rezip it, change it to. Apk, and try to install it I get a parse error, though. It's extremely frustrating. And I only have the one device, unfortunately.
That parse error is because you edited the apk and didn't recompile and resign it. Look in Software Development for a tool to do those for you. Hope I helped!

So after some serious research, I found that in TiBu, I could just turn the app into a multi user app and setup different data profiles for it and switch between them as I so desire.
You should have just checked your duplicate thread. I posted it in there yesterday. Lol.

I certainly can. First, near the bottom on the main TiBu page it says active days profile, tap to switch. Tap that and create Two profiles. One for each account.
Then go to the backup/restore tab. Scroll down to the app you want to dup and tap it, swipe right, and click enable multiple profiles. Viola.
Now you can either go into TiBu and switch data profiles every time you want to switch accounts or simply create the TiBu data profile widget.
Let me know if you have any more problems.
