This is of absolutely no help to you right now, and unfortunately I don't have any insight to your current problem...however, I will just add that when ever I restore my data using Titanium, I pretty much always go through it and manually update only the apps that I've downloaded and/or I know specifically are safe to restore. I don't touch any of HTC or other system apps, mainly to avoid issues like you're describing.

Again, sorry I can't help, but figure this may at least prevent a similar issue in the future.

If it were me, I'd try to boot into recovery if possible and flash my last working ROM and start over.

i waited about 15 minutes later thinking the back up would be running still and maybe sense crashed or something. i then did a battery pull and rebooted. everything seems to be exactly the same as before i flashed the new rom. i think it just crashed sense loading whatever that file is. thanks for the response though *wipes sweat from forehead* that was skerry!

Don't restore system data!, you can read a thorough tutorial on backups written by pvillecomp aka the stig aka http://forum.androidcentral.com/inc...back-up-what-restore-when-switching-roms.html

I took it upon myself to put this together...perhaps it can be stickied?

You can set titanium backup to filter out system data, so you only backup user data, like for game progress and such.

you can get my backup or something like it to backup other stuff like bookmarks, texts, alarms, etc.

You should wipe data, cache and dalvik and reflash, and be sure not to have titanium auto-restore your system stuff.

For the record, when it comes to home screens and widget placement and stuff, MyBackup is probably what you need to get that stuff back.
