I have been on an earlier build of AOKP for a while (pre ribbons, I think early march) and was waiting for milestone 2, last week I decided to update to the latest (then 24 5 13) nightly. Got it all working nicely using TiBU, (as I thought) and made a new nandroid.
Then today, I noticed that when I try to save a bookmark to home screen (I use Firefox and Nova launcher) nothing happens. Tried rebooting and removing/reinstalling both firefox and Nova. Tried restoring Nandroid. Still same problem. The bookmarks seemed to be saving intermittently to the stock launcher, but not always. I definitely had Nova set as default,
Eventually I restored to a nandroid of the earlier build and it worked again.
I wondered if it might be a bug with the nightly.....seemed unlikely its not like its an experimental feature. Then I remembered: After flashing, I have got into the habit of restoring my Nova launcher TiBU backup first, (app and data) and this gives me a template of my layout and shows me what apps I need to restore. So far it has worked well but this time it caused TiBU to hang. When I rebooted it seemed to have worked so I filled in the rest of the blanks and carried on.
I am thinking that this might have screwed things up in this odd way, so next time I flash a ROM, (probably 30 5 13 nightly) I will have to get my layout and bookmarks back manually.
Has anyone got any tips or methods to share about how they quickly restore their home screen layout after flashing?
