hey there..

u can read about the apps u can uninstall and how...
but u can also do it via titanium backup pro cant u?
ive deleted road sync and all the other crap...
its gone... away from the phone... so why the hard way?
im a noob, so maybe there is a reason for it, people uninstall trough the command promp and gain superuser access. ive got superuser access trough my titanium backup..
for sure you can do it with Titanium backup Pro, the "problem" is that it is paid app, so not all of us can do those things by Titanium Backup..
sorry for offtopic, I do to understand why you created a separate thread for this question, you should ask directly there.. I do not think this question needs separate thread..
your right, shouldnt have needed a new topic..
and by the way...
Im using the free version of titanium backup aswell. just check it out... i uninstalled the original homescreen aswell with titanium backup (free version)
I don't really follow. Why would you want Titanium Pro? Everything worth doing (uninstalling, taking backup, scheduling backups) is available in the free version. Or am I wrong?

no ur right
Titanium is awesome for removing systems apps on a rooted phone. The problem with the free version is that it won't allow you to restore the backups you've made through the Titanium app. You could still do it manually though.

Ah, that explains it. So when I'm in deep **** I have to pay to restore everything I've backed up. Smart!
Anyways, what is it Titanium backs up? Is it just the apps or also app settings?
/Daniel
Backs up apps and data, full version does it and restores in one click. Well worth it!
to increase this thread's usefulness , I suggest that you try to share the apps you got.. =D paid and free.. thanks! [im begging]
Ok I tried following Myn's suggestion of unistalling Flash and now my phone won't reboot. I try to go into recovery and it won't let me. Any thoughts?
Trying not to freak out
I have an Htc Aria im trying to do this on it but when i do via titanium backup it restarts and i get a android with a yellow caution sign. Any ideas?
Im running TB Pro and I too am getting the Android with caution on reboot. Then I check and the App is still there. On Epic 4G

I did a mild search and didn't find anything, so sorry if this is a repost.
I want to try new roms, but don't want to go through the headache of redownloading all the apps that I have, is there an easy way to back up my existing apps so I can flash a new rom and just "reload" my old apps?
Does Titanium backup do this? (i've never really used it)
Yes. Use titanium. But use it only to restore apps, never system settings

You can also use MyBackup Root (for both apps, data). The interface is very simplistic and straight to the point, if you don't want all the stuff packed into Titanium.
No dumb questions. Most roms will just auto restore your apps when you sign in with your gmail acct, but some do have the feature disabled so then I would recommend titanium backup. If your new to the root game I would definitely recommend the paid versions of root explorer, titanium backup, and ROM manager at the very least. With the paid version of titanium you can also run the market doctor to restore the market links for your apps if for some reason they do not show up I'm the market after you restore them. Good luck!
Awesome, thanks guys! I appreciate it.
I have an SGSII, rooted with Odin/CWM 4 and I cannot restore any system apps using Titanium Backup - it simply sits there saying 'Restoring App' and nothing happens. Normal apps can be restored OK. I tried changing the app processing mode in TB to Auto/Indirect but it didn't help.
Any ideas? I have TB Pro FWIW.
Can't you just restore systemdata? I assume the apps are there already.
ps you know the downside of restoring system apps?
I backed up and then uninstalled some system apps using TB Pro (TpLauncher, AccuWeather, etc.) but now I'd like to get some of them back. I assumed using the TB restore option was the way to go.
What's the downside of doing this? Can I restore these manually?
Same happened to me, I guess lesson is don't uninstall sys app unless you really don't want them.
Glad it's not just me and I have a nandroid so I can get everything back but it's annoying. I've reported it to the TB devs. If they come up with a solution I'll let you know.
I use root explorer backup the system apk, restore it when need it back.
what i do, is close titanium application then restart it again. then viola.
seems strange ... TB Pro always do the job for me
FWIW these were apps I first freezed, then uninstalled (without unfreezing). I wonder if this is relevant. Perhaps the permissions are screwed or something. If I could get a TB log I could find out. Hopefully the developers will help out.
Bump. Any updates on this? I'm having the same problem
Here is my reply from Titanium Backup support:
"We're sorry, system apps are critical and should not be removed in the first place. Some apps are tightly ROM bounded, while others are dependent on other system entities which could break things when they are removed. We have already provided the warning in the preferences that you will be held responsible of your own actions upon removing the system apps and we will not provide support for restoring them back. In most cases like this, you will have to reflash your ROM or restore your nandroid backup (you must always keep a nandroid handy)."
So in other words - tough sh*t! Not what I was expecting.
I restored my Nandroid and now only freeze apps, and they seem to defrost OK but after that reply I'm wondering if I should continue to use their product.

In fairness they are right, anyone who uninstalls system apps is asking for trouble why would you want to do that in the first place,you can simply freeze any apps you don't use instead, i have most of the Samsung bloatware frozen in Titanium as i don't use them and many of them are responsible for excessive battery drainage.
BTW Titanium Backup is probably the best overall app in the whole market and they always release updates, i highly recommend this app to anyone who doesn't already have it.
As a software developer myself if one of my apps didn't work correctly and a customer asked for help I would do my level best to get to the bottom of the issue instead of fobbing them off.
The app lets you uninstall system apps and restore them again - why would you want to? because on some devices space might be at a premium - I freed up 100MB on my previous device (Xperia Arc S) using this feature for example - which made a big difference.
Luckily I don't need the space on my SII but I'm surprised that the TB devs wouldn't want to find out what the issue is.

They know what the issue is. The outcome of removing an restoring system apps is just unpredictable. They gave a warning that it could cause unwanted results. Messing with roms gives unpredicted results.
Same thing happened to my Galaxy Pocket. I uninstalled system apps and can't restore them.
THE solution is wen u want to uninstall an system app den first of all make an back up of DATA of that system app and den go 2 loaction of app through root explorer in internal storage and copy that APK file to ur sd card as backup .
den delete the APK file mannualy or uninstall using titanium backup...
wen u want dat app again den copy the APK to its original old location of system /app and restore the data using titanium backup and just restart the phone..
hope it helps ...
Yes, I can restore system data

To be more thorough:
I am able to restore system data of an app but I can't restore an app.
In fact, if I locate the apk which titanium backup had backed up with a file browser and install it manually, it works fine! I can then restore data with titanium backup.
Issue on my Galaxy SII (no matter what ROM I use)
You shouldn't be restoring system apps at all/you shouldn't need to (the data may be another question though). Why are you wanting to restore system apps/which apps in particular ?
Ok, I got somebody holding my hand but I just don't want to abuse on his help too much so I'll be spreading a bit my Q's.
I'm ready to try a new ROM and I'm thinking in flashing xboard's Quicksense.
I just don't want to screw up so I just did a Titanium backup (free version) I did all users apps +sys data, so my question is...
If I screw up or the new rom has something that I need not working I just do a restore with Titanium and I'll get the phone exactly like I have it now???
Thanks,
Oh!
Another one...
If I do the "restore all missing apps with data" restore, after I did the whole "all users apps +sys data" backup, would it also istall back all the bloatware???
I'm afraid I can guess what the answer for that one is going to be

I'd recommend using ROM manager to create a backup of your current ROM. As for use of Titanium backup It's just to stick to backing up and restoring users apps and data only (system related restores can cause negative results). You might be able to freeze or uninstall any unwanted bloat with free Titanium if not the pay one can do it forsure.
Apps like Titanium and Rom Manager are worth buying! I use Titanium for just game data.

To answer your first question, you would not get the phone exactly like you have it now if you backup with Titanium. Titanium backs up apps, not the entire phone. To backup the entire phone, you would need to go in recovery and make a nandroid backup or download the rom manager app and from there, make a backup
In regards to your second question, if you backed up the bloatware, you will get the bloatware back. Also, I am not 100% sure, but I think the back up missing apps with data does not involve the backup of all user apps + system data
Thanks guys, I look a bit more into it before I commit then just to be sure that I won't screw up.
Hi,
Supposedly I buy a new android phone, let's say going from Galaxy S1 to S2. How can I transfer my stuff from the old phone to the new one?
Thanks
If you're rooted on the old and new phone you can use Titanium Backup, it can backup your Wifi settings too.

Pretty sure Google Play will install your previous apps automagically.
As for the rest, you can use apps like Titanium backup and SMS backup to transfer your other stuff and whatnot.
And don't forget to move your music, photos, videos as well.
Why do you go into radioshack. They have a cellbrite machine and its free to transfer everything over from your old phone to you new one. Better yet go into radioshack and buy your new phone there.
What if i want to install the latest version from the Play store instead of restoring from a backup? I do not care for the app settings. Is there a way to do that?

Has anyone ever had this issue with the S5? I downloaded an update for Facebook yesterday that I can swear was a virus. That update wanted to take over my phone. I was on the latest firmware installed via mobile odin. I had Link2SD, XSPOSE, XPRIVACY, Titanium Backup, XStorage, and BusyBox installed. I don't know what happened. Facebook kept telling me that I needed more storage to operate it. Can anyone help with this issue?
Did you restore from a backup right before this happened? Or rather, did you use Titanium Backup to restore your apps right before this happened?

This sometimes happens to me when I install a new rom and then use titanium to restore all my apps. I have pro, so I have the ability to change the id to what my previous id was. If you don't have pro, I'm pretty sure that you can't restore it. If I were you, I'd donate. It's a great app that I use daily.
Good luck.
