I just recieved my OTA update. My phone was completely factory with the exception of root access. Not sure if there is a known problem (could not find it by searching), but I have noticed, that Titanium Backup is having trouble backing up the market links for apps now.
I have a few apps that are showing in my downloads, that I can not get from a plain old smiley, to an "m" over the smiley (in my Backup/Restore tab). All were downloaded from the market (although angry birds was originally d/l from getjar, then re-d/l from market after OTA). I am running version 3.5.5 TB, and in the overview it shows that everything is fine, busybox from app 1.16.0, SQLite 3.7.2 included. I have tried to "Attach to Market (forced)", but it just wont take. Any tips, or others with this issue after the OTA?

Does it let you pick & choose your apps?
Hm........no. I wouldn't say better, just different.
Its definitely a hellava lot quicker though & I've used it rather than Titanium many times, never with bad results (it always worked), so I can't speak bad of it, but it's hardly in the same league as Titanium for this type of thing though.

I have rom manager as well, but my understanding is that rom manager is like a restore point in windows. It brings you back to a previous state, before you had issues. Titanium Backup on the other hand backs up your System Data (contacts, texts, etc), user installed apps with their data, and then allows you to move these across rom changes. That is why I puchased Ti Backup, so I can test some roms in the future.
If I use my Rom Manager backup, to revert to before the OTA, and try to start over, will I recieve the OTA update again?
Try clearing the market app data....not just the cache. Then reboot and sign back into the market and accept the terms. In my case I had to click uninstall updates for the market app which worked for me when I ran into this same problem with titanium backup. I did not receive the ota....happened on its own somehow the market database (assets.db) became corrupt.

If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above

I may be missing something, but I only see an option to clear the cache for this. Some of the installed apps show an option for clearing the data, but that is not shown for the Market. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, or a change for JI6??
Looking in settings-->manage applications-->(Filter to all)-->Market
Mine says uninstall updates and not clear data but it does the same thing. Or select wipe data from within titanium backup for the market app. That might work too.

Hi,
I have been using this to backup, but have trouble restoring xROM. Is it able to restore apps in say 2.1, backed up in 1.5 (app compatibility aside)
Thanks
Phil
To be honest, I have a problem with this too, I always regularly backup and tried to restore all my apps in CKDROID (2.1 ROM), but I couldn't even install most of the apps, some worked, but more than 70% of my apps were just skipped.
I have also found the Titanium backup a bit unreliable. I bought MyBackUp Pro and it is at the moment the best backup app (in my eyes)

mybackup also skips apps. perhaps only 70-80%.
I use appmanager to backup my apps, and mybackup for data, that is the best way for me.

Yeah, that's correct. Skips a few, but not more than it's an easy job to re-download them from the market
I use mybackup pro for sms, call logs and all other data, and titanium backup for applications, although i too must admit it's a bit unreliable.
Is there any application that allows all apps to be restored with one click, using mybackup pro is a hassle as i have to press install for every app!
And what about if i use apps2d, do i have to restore them every time i flash a new rom or will they still be there?
Hi !
I'm the Titanium Backup developer.
For those who have problems with reliability (especially for the app restoration) I would recommend to try the "Problems?" button in the app which will download and install a known good version of busybox. This simple step usually annihilates most problem cases
e3zippo: thanks by the way for being a donator ! Just a question, I saw your post on the MoDaCo forum thread (sorry I can't post proper links as a new user. URL is: android.modaco.com/content/software/297171/new-software-that-can-backup-restore-all-settings-of-any-apps/ ) which led me to believe that everything worked fine for you. So which of your posts is the most up-to-date ? I assume you first had problems and then they got sorted out ?

Hey Joel! I couldn't really live without titanium backup so i felt a donation was in order
I still have a few problems, when i restore using batch it skipped atrackdog and one more app i can't remember, i will try and download a known good version of busybox as you recommended, and we'll see what happens! Thanks for replying!
Hey all
I discovered this app and donated about a week ago...
I made just one restore and wasn't sure the order I should use after a wipe...
I did
1. Wipe
2. Market to download Titanium (But i didn't go in the download section so next time, it'll show all apps I previously downloaded)
3. Restore
4. Market
But I had to restore twice cause market wasn't showing all my apps...
How you guys do that ?
Hi maxqc,
Your procedure should be correct.
If the market link does not appear for an app, I see two reasonable reasons for that:
a) market cache needs clearing (does not apply in your case because you did a wipe)
b) market entries got deleted by the system a few seconds after I restored them.
I have noticed case "b" recently and indeed, this can be annoying but it's really the system that is removing what I just added in the Market data.
To resolve this without needing a 2nd restore, I will probably add a "repair all Market links" feature in Titanium Backup soon.
Have fun
One more thing that is important: always verify that the "Enable USB Debugging" checkbox in the phone settings is checked.
I will add a verification for that, in the next Titanium Backup release.
Would it be possible to add a feature so that titanium backup will also back up our home screen layout? This is the only feature that I find missing in your great software.

This should already be in the current version: look for something green-colored, labeled either as "Launcher" or as "Home" (depending of whether you have a google or a HTC rom)

Thank you for the quick response! I must have missed it since the batch backup appears to skip over system type items.
Thanks again for your efforts on this program and your quick response - I absolutely love how fast the unattended batch restore is in the paid version.
Can you explain the different batch options for me? I'm a little confused by them.
What's the difference between the two "backup all user apps" options (why does the 'running apps will be auto-ended' one have more apps)? And what does the "force refresh of your backups" do?

If you have an app running that you do not want to terminate, you can use the first option. The second option has more apps listed because it does not exclude apps that are currently running.
No idea on force refresh, but it seems like it will do a full backup of apps you backed up before, and also delete what you've uninstalled but had backed up.

Hi daandman,
It's quite simple actually:
Option 1: The "Backup all user apps (running apps excluded)" will backup all user apps, *except* those which are currently running.
Option 2: The "Backup all user apps (running apps auto-ended)" will backup all user apps, *including* those which are currently running (it auto-kills them as needed before backing them up).
Thus it is normal that Option 2 always includes more apps than Option 1 !
The "Force refresh of your backups" option will remake any backups that you currently have:
- if you have the Free version it will simply overwrite the backup
- if you have the Donate version (and a backup history setting greater than 1) it will simply add a new backup for the app, and delete the oldest one if the max history length is reached for that app.

Hi cigar3tte
Absolutely correct - except that "force refresh" will not delete backups of uninstalled apps.

I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.
Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
Hi,
Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches
Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.
Anything else you need help with?
Nope. Thanks man. I just needed a few things cleared up before I went ahead and wiped my ext. You were a great help.
No problem, glad to have helped
you say it saves system settings...
so i have about 30 ringtones set to specific contacts, if i wipe/flash a new rom.
restore using titanium backup. Will all those ringtones be set back to the proper contacts automatically with TTB? cuz its a pain in the *** setting them each new rom
i tried mybackup pro a long time ago and it didn't do this which is why i don't waste my time with that app. (that may be changed now, it's been about 8 months)
would I be able to Restore my backup if I have flashed a new rom without problems?
I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...
Any solutions good people of XDA?
check at the new version, it has an alternative restore mode that you need to enable for it to work on the galaxy s
Another restore question
I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.
I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.
Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
Similar problem with no luck at reinstalling Att apps. I accidently deleted google talk and now cannot download new apps.
I have a similar question to the OP.
If I use the Master Clear or whatever is called to restore my phone to stock...that is supposed to delete the internal SD Card so, if I were to copy the Titanium Back Up folder to my PC then copy it back to the SD card after the clearing is done...would that be enough to restore all the games and apps?
I have titanium backup stored in sdcard, this backup is settings/wallpaper, is possible to extract from this file only wallpaper, without restoring all backup to the phone??
My news app/widget not working on MY HTC DHD even after several reboot/restart. So I decided to back up the apps and widget trough titanium backup and uninstall the app+widget. After reinstalling the apps/widget. the news app is working again but the widget, I cant find it in widget menus when I tried to add it to home screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

Also have a question about this program
It's restores my apps great. Very happy about it. But when you have installed ur apps back.
When I go to the android market they are not listed in my apps.
Though when i go and look for the app in the store it says installed. Yet can't check the allow automatic update checkbox.
Hope I make sense???
So I can't update it basically???Or when there is an update it will show up in my apps ???
My SD card was fried last night... everything gone. Good thing I backed up everything onto my laptop last week. Got a new SD card and copied everything over from the laptop. When I go into TB app, it doesnt show what I copied over. SHows I have no apps in memory... I made sure to copy everything into the "Titanium Backup" folder in my SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.
OK thanks. Will try it out.

Market Doctor - Amazon Market
I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?
I went from Eclair 2.1 to Axura 2.2.5.7 and can't be happier with my phone. However, I have noticed that when Titanium backup restored the apps and data, it broke some apps' link with the market. This lead to not being able to get updates on those apps from market. When I go to market, it does NOT show me having an application marked as installed when its on the phone and was restored by Titanium backup. I may be wrong but this is what I conclude.
Is it true that Titanium will break some of the restored apps' links to the market and you wont get notification that there is an update waiting.
If I am right, what could be a possible solution?
Thanks
It happened to me before what I did was clean the cache of the market and then run titanium backup Market Doctor and then it worked like a charm. I hope that helps you.

I regularly clear cache using 'Cache Mate'. Is 'Titanium backup market doctor' an app? How exactly did you do it?
open titanium > press menu button ( the one next to the home button )
Clearing the cache from Settings -> Applications didn't work for me (the Market Doctor didn't find any recoverable links), so I tried clearing the cache for Market in Titanium Backup (select the Backup/Restore tab and find Market in the list; tapping the entry will give you an option to Wipe Data). Once wiped, I ran the Market Doctor again which was able to re-attach the missing applications.

When i use Titanium backup it messes up my apps. I cant update or download some apps in the market even after trying all the fix methods. It sucks but anytime i use a new ROM i unfortunately end up reinstalling each app one by one to keep from having any market issues.

Do you mean install them one by one with Titanium Backup, or through market?
You can use a batch installation to restore a large amount of apps at once (I do not suggest ALL at once). You can create a flashable update.zip to restore a bunch of apps at once.
You can also reinstall any apps that you want individually and either run the Market Doctor or if long press on the app (within TB) a pop-up menu will, guess what? Pop-up. In there are options to attach/detach from market. This works well also if you don't want an app to be "seen" by the market, such as an update that you are sick of seeing in the market that you aren't going to update or "bootleg" apps that you might have got on-line somewhere.

what this guy said
Well actually Market Doctor is not working, for some reason, my market database is messed up and I can't see any apps under "my apps" in the market. Titanium Backup doesn't help, I have reinstalled the rom about 4 times already and I have tried everything
Same problem for me.
If I install a new ROM after a full wipe, everything is OK with the market, I can find all my previously downloaded free apps and paid apps under the tab "my apps"
If I use Titanium, pro version, to restore my user apps (and ONLY my apps and games, no system apps, just what I had downloaded from the market!), it leads to the following result:
If I look for an app I've bought, I can find it and download/update it, no problem
But if I go to my installed apps, I just have a white screen with this:
" myemail@gmail.com
Associated games and apps for this account are here "
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Under this, I have two boxes: "Browse apps" and "browse games". Clicking on one of them just brings me back to the Marjet main menu!!!
Tried this twice today, twice I full-wiped and reinstalled my ROM, twice the market was perfectly working and then was brocken after using Titanium to restore my apps and games
Cleaning market datas (even from Titanium) cleaning cache, fixing permissions in the recovery, using market Doctor or forcing an app to be linked to the market with titanium, nothing helps!
As I have about 100 games and apps, it will take some time to try restoring them individually and verify that the market is not broken between each
Any hint appreciated !!!!!
You can do a batch restore and restore a.....batch of apps.
If you want stability in that area( i dont, im app free just10, stay with one rom and download from market for a clean install. Too much confusion for titinium titty. conflicting permissions. Hey rube, still p.c. free
Nope I got a new one an it is loaded with all the goodies. Just need an apk decompiler and I might start cooking some themes. Lost my old pc and all the stuff on HD I hadn't backed up yet.
Backed up via Titanium Pro prior to flashing Trigger 2.8. After flash, the stock Titanium that comes with Trigger doesn't see my backups. Do I have to redirect it or did it just wipe out everything I had? I had some paid apps so this is sort of an issue.
I also did a nandroid backup from stock Froyo 2.2 rooted, but I don't think that does me any good since it's from a different ROM?
Check if your internal storage is wiped. It rarely happens though.
Otherwise you should be able to just run batch restore and let the app do all the work. Remember don't mass restore system settings or it may cause errors.
Search titanium backup in the market, make sure you have the app and paid key installed.
Open tb, click problems to install busybox
Menu, filters, make sure nothing is hidden
Menu, batch, restore all missing apps.
Click in the market app (using titanium backup), click wipe data.
Click menu, more, market doctor, fix broken market links
Open the Market, agree to terms, enjoy.
Thanks. I figured it out. If I set the filter in TB to ALL then it showed the ones at the bottom where the APKs were there but not really "installed" (shows a line strikeout through the name), I just selected and then RESTORE and it restored them.
I did them individually just to be sure I didn't do something stupid...lol
By the way, can you install Overstock kernel right over the Trigger kernel without disabling Voodoo?

SOLVED
Hey guys,
I'm trying to restore my previous Titanium Backup configuration on my Note 8, on which I just clean-installed the latest DevBase ROM. Normally, I just backup the following folder in order to save Titanium Backup's configuration for later restore, then after the ROM is installed, I restore the folder, install Titanium Backup and everything is restored:
sdcard\data\com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup\settings\
However, for some reason, the latest version doesn't seem to be restoring from the backup. Any suggestions on what to do to fix it? Really need this my configurations to quickly restore my Note 8 back to normal. Thanks in advance.
Haha can't believe I'm not the only one. Was already buzzing authors but for now no reply. Up until now that always worked. But now since yesterdays flash it doesn't any more. I've been trying to make it work since then without any success. Is your ROM PIE based?
What's even worse for me, i also tried cleaning everything and fresh install TiBu without any settings. I've made a new label, attached an app or two to that label. Then I selected in preferences I want to sync settings, TiBu created /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup with corresponding files. After I uninstall and reinstall TiBu first nice surprise is that it force closes. It will not work until I delete /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup, after that program starts but it never restores it's settings from /sdcard/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup
I've tried few PIE roms and never managed to find a working sollution. Thinking of going back to Oreo just to test this out then to scream at TiBu makers if it suddenly decided to crap on us. Oh I've also tried old tibu versions. even cracked ones, since I do posses original bought key for TiBu.

Haha can't believe I'm not the only one. Was already buzzing authors but for now no reply. Up until now that always worked. But now since yesterdays flash it doesn't any more. I've been trying to make it work since then without any success. Is your ROM PIE based?

ROM is Oreo based at the moment.

What's even worse for me, i also tried cleaning everything and fresh install TiBu without any settings. I've made a new label, attached an app or two to that label. Then I selected in preferences I want to sync settings, TiBu created /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup with corresponding files. After I uninstall and reinstall TiBu first nice surprise is that it force closes.

Yeah, experienced EXACTLY the same issues. I figured out a solution to the problem though; on first install of Titanium Backup, DO NOT OPEN IT YET, instead, MANUALLY grant it its app permissions via Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup, place your settings folder in the com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder like normal, then launch Titanium Backup. Here's a detailed step by step process:
1. Ensure you still have a proper backup of the Titanium Backup settings folder, then uninstall Titanium Backup AND Titanium Backup Pro Key (if you also purchased it)
2. Install a root file system app (like Total Commander) from the Play Store, launch it, and navigate to and delete the following folders:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
+
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
AND (if you also purchased it)
/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupProThis will ensure you start off like it's your first time installing the app, and will avoid any crashes due to whatever conflicts.
3. Restore your backed-up Titanium Backup settings folder to the following directory:
/sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
4. Re-install Titanium Backup (and Titanium Backup Pro key, if you purchased it). DO NOT OPEN IT YET!! Otherwise, you'll have to repeat steps 1. to 3. above
5. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Titanium Backup and manually enable its app Permissions (at least Storage, but I'd recommend enabling ALL of them like I did)
6. Vuala, now you can launch Titanium Backup, grant it SU permission, and it'll recognize the backup like it should
Hope that helps
