Hopefully you will manage consuela! What worked for me in the end was:
- Doing a hard reset.
- Install Google Apps. (Or perhaps this came automatically with the reset?)
- Just let Google Play update whatever it wants to update (perhaps itself).
- Installing Titanium Backup the normal way through Google Play.
- Use Titanium Backup to restore only specific apps that I really wanted (not Google/system stuff).
- Let Google Play update those apps.
It was a bit of a frustrating experience to figure out what needs to happen, but in the end it seems quite logical. There are so many things that are wrong though:
- We probably didn’t follow all the instructions to the letter. But we shouldn’t have to expect so much trouble.
- Titanium Backup shouldn’t restore apps that cause this kind of trouble, at least not without a warning.
- Google Play should be able to figure out what is wrong and not break like that.
- In general, syncing your app data shouldn’t be so ‘risky’ and troublesome.
- The repartitioning shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place. (You can make an entire other list of what went wrong that caused the repartitioning to be needed…)
- etc…
Nevertheless, I’m very glad that we have a phone that allows us to backup our apps and data without requiring someone else’s permission.
