Guide: Mass Restoring Apps With Titanium Backup And Your Phone - Nook Color Themes and Apps

Not content with installing apps one by one, I decided to see if Titanium Backup would work..and alas! It does!
Pre-Reqs:
1. Rooted NookColor: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
2. BusyBox: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_Busybox
3. SU/Superuser.apk: http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Installing_su_and_the_Superuser_app
Titanium Backup installed on the phone: http://www.appbrain.com/app/titanium-backup-★-root/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (I recommend the paid version!)
Steps:
Open up Titanium Backup on your rooted Android phone, and backup the apps you'd like to transfer
Use Astro to backup Titanium Backup(Oddly wasn't able to do this through Titanium Backup itself?)
Use adb/astro to install Titanium Backup on the Nook, after BusyBox and SU have been installed
Transfer the 'TitaniumBackup' directory on your phones SD card to your nooks
Run Titanium Backup on your Nook, and go to batch restore, and then restore missing apps. I chose to restore the apps only, and not data.
Let it do it's thing, and you should be set Just did this with about 50 apps, and it seems to have worked.

you know, i was planning on trying this but never got to it. i'm glad you've already found out it can be done.

---

also, this is the easiest way to get busy box installed.

i wish, ive got busybox in the xbin folder but i get permission denied when installing

---

I was trying to use Titanium to back up whatever I have in my NC but no go.... it would always stay at 0%. Any ideas? I'm rooted and SU-ed.

---

I cannot get pass step 7. It said "bad mode"

---

A better way to install Busybox. Just install it from Titanium backup.

---

if you get the "bad mode" error, just use root explorer and copy busybox to the /system folder anthen install using the code in instruction # 11. then your good to go. thats how i got around it.
also i used a terminal emulator on the NC itself

just click "problems?" and titanium will install busybox in the correct location for you.

bad mode
the "bad mode" was due to the chmod wrong format, it is now corrected on the site.

Titanium Backup is also an awesome way to get apps on to the NC that has problems installing otherwise:
1) Make a backup of the app you want on another device that has it successfully installed (in my case, my Vibrant).
2) Find the three files in your Titanium Backup folder on the SD card of the device. It'll have a date stamp with when you made you back up.
3) Copy and paste into the TB file on the NC's SD card.
4) Start TB on the NC and you should see that there's an uninstalled app at the bottom (the one you just "exported" from your other device).
5) Click on it and choose install (or is it "restore"?)
This is probably a repost and some of you already know it, but its just something else you can use TB for.
