This post is no longer a Wiki. I created a new Wiki topic here:
###The problem with the storage updater has been fixed and it’s now available again. For those who updated before and are now stuck without Google Apps a solution will hopefully come soon.###
##Things to do before you update##
First of all make a thorough backup!!! E.g. with Titanium Backup- You’ll need a Wifi connection, so if you don’t have one at home find a hotspot.
- Many users reported that after the first restart the update process stops. To avoid this go to settings > developer options and tick “keep screen on” and then start the update with your phone plugged in.
#Problems that might occur:#
#google related Problems##
-
Before reinstalling Google Apps be sure you finished every step of the update process and you have no problems so far. (Except for missing GAPPS) Trying to reinstall GAPPS sometime in between will increase chances of something going wrong.
-
After re-installing GAPPS you have to restart again and maybe add your Google Account again (Settings > Add account > Google).
-
If the wifi symbol stays grey and/or your contacts/calenders/mails/… are not synced, download any app from the play store and wait a while.
-
For users who installed the 1.8.5 storage upgrade before May 20th and are now stuck without GAPPS here is the official fix.
-
If you have further problems there is a discussion right here.
#launcher related Problems##
-
If you use a custom launcher you might loose your home screen setup. Some launchers offer backups of that setup but they don’t save everything. You’ll probably need to reconfigure your widgets.
-
If you update from 1.8 you’ll loose your home screen setup as mentioned above. If were used to the launcher with the big icons introduced in 1.8 and want it back go to this discussion.
