Apex Launcher: neither restore nor backup can be performed - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

I have the phone now exactly 3 h and must first get used to this Xiaomi world. I reinstalled my apex launcher and wanted to recover the data from a backup (memory access is set). I get the message that this action can not be performed. If I want to do a backup, the same message comes up. Why is that (with normal roms from the normal Google world, I never had problems).

I also have the same issue with a realme phone did you manage to solve it?

I've had this problem for at least a year now and nothing I've tried worked to fix this. It's ridiculous.

Did anyone find the reason for this yet - Im still having this issue?

Nothing yet, in the same boat

I have the same problem on Galaxy a22 Android 11: no possibility to backup and impossible to restore from previous setting (from another Galaxy). The message is "the action cannot be completed". it's really frustrating and i haven't found any solution on the net and although this bug is also reported on google play, there is no update to fix it. Really a pity!
Edit: Even installing older versions or even Apex Launcher Classic does not solve the problem. Therefore, it is an Android 11 problem! Perhaps, a problem of permissions, even more than compatibility .. but one should understand which permissions! I don't know if on any device with 11 ..

OP was from 2019 and this issue still seems to be happening. I just got an S22 Ultra and can't create a backup nor restore. As @liberalinea mentioned, issue with permissions or compatibility. Has anyone been lucky/smart enough to figure out a fix yet??

Same issue with my pixel 6pro running 12. Did not have this issue with my Ulefone running 10

Have similar issue on Android 9 and 10. Restore does not restore any links but links to apps which are currently installed. Not via Apex GUI, nor via Titanium or other backup apps. Manual copy of app data folder (root) does not restore better neither. Restore functions fine with Classic, but since Android 9 only shortcuts to installed apps are possible, no URL or files and folders. :-( Have written several times to the developper, but no response :-(
Any hint will be much appreciated.

Insufficient Storage Available

Hi All,
I got the above error when trying to perform market update for following applications:
1) Fring
2) N1 Torch Light
However, I still have 55% left for my internal memory and 58% for my SD memory. The strange thing is I still can download and install new apps.
My phone is rooted with latest CyanogenMod installed. I think the problem only started today after I had done the below:
1) Download a "build.prop" and push to my phone
2) This item claims to improve the HSDPA speed
3) After installed and tested no different
4) Then I extracted the "build.prop" from Cyanogen zip file and push back to my phone
I'm not sure whether this problem is related to the above but my other function is working fine. I even tried to reboot my phone and still same problem :-(
Same problem here on both bakedgoods 1.1 and desire a16 just started happening today. Same apps as well.

Same issue happened to me. Solved it by uninstalling both fring and n1 torch and then installing the new version... Works after that...

Yours also happened to Fring and N1 torch? I just wonder will it happen to others apps as well (which needed to update too) and I don't think is a good idea to always need uninstall and install again
happening on 5.0.4.1 with torch. for kicks I uninstalled another app and tried to update torch again. no luck.
completely uninstalling torch and then installing the new version solved my problem.
There was no way I was out of space seeing as I have a 2gb partition on my sd card for apps

2gb?? Damn, man. Well, that's a definitive indication you're in NO WAY out of space (I hope). I've run into this problem too. An uninstall/reinstall always fixes it for me, as well. But the other day it happened with RDC by xtralogic. Now, that's no N1 Torch in terms of setup, so I just backed-up the currently installed (old) version via Titanium...then: Market>RDC>Uninstall>Reinstall>Titanium>Restore>RemoteDesktop>Data Only
Worked like a charm.
Mine just started doing this with Nimbuzz and Smart Keyboard Pro...
All I did was install a fresh CM 5.0.5.1 (Full wipe) and then did a Tittanium app backup..
EDIT Unistall / reinstall and all is fine...
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'

Yeah I got the error and for kicks, increased my partition from 512->2gb and still got the error
That error is misleading, it happens or certain apps only.
To update: uninstall and then install those apps.
Has anyone found a fix that doesn't require uninstalling and reinstalling the app? For the most part, that works fine, but for one of my games, I lose all my progress if I do this. I've tried backing the game up via Titanium backup, uninstalling, installing the new version, then restoring data only from Titanium, but that just seems to make the new version crash back to Launcher every time I try to start it. Starts just fine if I don't restore the data, but then I lose all my progress.
The game actually runs fine for me on the version I have installed, so I don't really need to update, but it gets a little old having the market constantly telling me that I should update it.

Back it up with titanium back up. Uninstall it. Reinstall from Market. Then use Titanium Backup to restore data only for that app.
Happening with the latest shake them all. Sadly, the 30 seconds I spent setting it up has to be repeated

As mentioned, I've tried that. For some reason, restoring the data from the previous version causes the new version to crash on start up every time.
This thread really helped me. Do we know if Google is looking into this problem/bug?
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'
I try it and now i can install App from Market. Thank you.

The same usually works for me
I tend to get this problem after doing a app restore using Titanium
Not quite sure what specifically does it though!
I tried doing a logcat when getting this message but tbh I wasn't sure what I was looking for! :S

[Q] Titanium Backup issues with restoring apps

Hello, I have been experiencing a weird issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup Pro that I have never had before. My captivate had Firefly 3.0 on it and apps were being backed up every night. My phone started freezing and restarting, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, then reloaded Firefly 3.0. I use Titanium backup pro to restore the apps it had backed up, and it seems to work fine. Once they are all done, I can access them and use them, whatever.
The issue arises after I restart the phone; some of the apps just go away from the app drawer. They are not on my sd card, so that can be ruled out. For instance, Angry Birds got restored fine, and I could play it until I restarted the phone, then it just went away. Same with Flikie HD, and many others. I look in the application manager and some apps just have the generic android icon and their names are in the format "com.android......". These are the apps that will not work.
This has never happened to me before and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. There is no pattern for what apps it does or does not restore. Also, unknown sources are allowed and Titanium Backup says the backup files are fine, no errors at all. I have gone through the process of flashing to stock, master clearing, reflashing quite a few times now, but the same thing every time, with the same apps it seems.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long problem, but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
Having the came problem with Apex 8.1. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, no. I just ended up taking note of which apps screwed up on restore, and then just got them from the market. Lost the data that accompanied them, but oh well.
TIBU update
I just had this same problem but had luck by first updating TIBU from the market. Then uninstall the offending app(s) and re-install from the market. After install, just restore data only through TIBU, and voila! Worked for me but as usual, ymmv. This happened to my Angry Birds and was not very happy to lose my save game data but it all worked out in the end. Hope this helps.
PS - was also on Apex 8.1...

This was a known issue when installing a ROM with an incompatible version of CWM. Just verify which version of clockwork mod you have and what the flashable .zip requires to load properly. May or may not be it, just figured I'd throw it out there.

Huh, I never got the option to reload only the data, it was weird. After I installed the apps from the market, the option to restore the app or data was gone totally.

I don't think that is the issue, thanks though. I have restored apps on Firefly 3.0 with the same CWM with no issues, so I doubt that is it. I appreciate the reply though.

[Q] Crash after golauncher update?

I posted this question in this thread ( #974 ) yesterday, but since I'm not sure it's related to the kernel I'd like to ask in this forum as well.
Hi all!
Just now something very strange happened I'll describe in steps below
1. installed update for go launcher
2. got two notifications about "bad data...." Sorry but i don't remember the exact words.
3. noticed that the background data sync icon seemed more active than usual
4. noticed that gps icon where blinking more than usual.
5. "hot" reboot occurred
6. stuff didn't work as they should anywhere.
7. reboot via quickboot
8. the phone rebooted itself once more
9. "touch the android to continue" screen appeared, but the i got an email on my gmailaccount...
10. FC on every autostarting app and service.
Could this in any way be kernel related? Go launcher update seems to be what started the circus, but I've been googling for a short while now but doesn't seem to find anything regarding the issue.
I've restored user apps and system data via Titanium Backup, reboooting now... (EDIT: still getting FC on almost everything after reboot)
I'm to say the least a bit confused here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What I had to do, was to uninstall and reinstall all the apps that FC:d via market app to get them working again.
Anyone had the same problem?
Seems like "fix permissions" in rom manager solved the problems.

[Q] Can't receive notifications anymore ! Need Help !

Hi everyone,
I've owned a HTC One since 3 months now, and I started trying to customize it a little. So, I followed the different guides I found on this site, and successfully managed to unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and finally flash a custom rom.
I flashed the Android Revolution HD v12.1 , and everything worked fine. Then, I made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro, no problem again. So I decided to push a little further by installing the CM 10.1 nightly version for the One; indeed, that's a nightly, for sure. I then got back to my previous custom rom and used my TB's backup to restore my datas.
I did not notice the problem immediately, but it was obviously present from the beginning : it appears that I'm not receiving anymore any notifications coming from any app I installed from the Store. I tried to uninstall then install the apps again, did not work. I looked a little bit in TB's option and I found one called "Manage Android ID", TB told me my One had a different Android ID from the previous one; I tried to restore the previous one, but still, I don't receive any notification from my apps !
I have no problem with message, call, missed call... notifications.
So, how can I fix this quite annoying problem ?
Thanks a lot.
A little bump, I need you guys!
try formatting your phone and installing an app, then check for notifications.
Ideally before changing from ARHD to CM, you should format the phone. Also titanium backup tends to have issues when you restore across different implementations.
Currently, I have ARHD. I just tried CM but TB tends to bug the entire system while restoring, anyway that's not the problem.
Of course, even though I didn't mention it, I made a FULL Wipe with TWRP each time I installed a new ROM.
I think -obviously I'd say- that the problem is caused by TB, but I'd like to know if there is any possibility to fix it without wiping the phone and installing ARHD, without using TB; Doing it this way would solve the problem I guess, but if I could avoid to lose quite a lot of data, I'd be glad !
Thanks for trying to help me.

Backup Solution.

Evening All.
I have not long since got my HTC One (UK version of it makes any difference).
It is S-Off, bootlooader unlocked and rooted with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery but currently running stock firmware. I've had a play with ARHD and liked it. However it's a bit of a nause having to re download apps every time I update. The internet were I am is very slow so this takes time.
I know backup solutions exist however I get conflicting reports about the apps. Having come from an iPhone (which I still use as a work phone) I am looking for a backup solution that with either a brand new phone or a factory reset and a new/custom Rom I just hit restore and it puts all my apps data and settings as it was when I backed up. Including things like my layout in widget locker and nova launcher.
I was going to be using helium but then read that you still have to download the APK for all the apps again from Google so that seems a pretty defunct choice.
It's there an app which will backup my phone, I can remove this to my laptop. Then factory reset, reinstall the app (I'm assuming you have to do this) and then I put the backup back on the phone and restore it?
Cloud options are no use due to the slow internet.
Apologies if this has been covered before but I just can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance.
Carl.
