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.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."
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?
Hey everyone, i'm currently using a xperia x10i - 2.3.3 - rooted.
I looked around alot and I couldn't find the steps to un-installing applications that came with the phone.
Some Applications that came with my phone include: Hami, Hami Apps, HamiBook, KKBOX and a whole lot of other asian applications (I got my phone from eBay). I don't use any of these applications and they are apps that arent supposed to come with the phone (like messaging etc.)
Anyways I can't uninstall them normally but i really want them gone, my device is rooted and I heard it's possible to remove them. Can someone please help and tell me how to do so?
Thanks!
use the titanium backup apk. Go to the backup and restore in titanium backup and search for the application for delete. click on that and select uninstall! Hope i helped you
Or, mount file system as r/w, and mavigate to /system/apps. Delete the .apk's from there.
Titanium Backup ★ root but also ASTRO File Manager
Titanium Backup ★ root but also ASTRO File Manager.
Titanium Backup to uninstall the apps and future backup an app management .
ASTRO File Manager (for file an Phone management) To find all the data that the apps left behind if you don't delete the data an backups then when you login to the market they could say installed, besides you do not know if they are spammer apps or what. I would just delete them all an data too with out backing them up. And then do a Titanium Backup. Or just do a Sony repair or better yet do a factory reset an do a Sony repair then flash a stock/generic 2.3.3 for your region. Just to be sure that way you know what you have. And here are some links too do all that just read and watch the videos and it's easy too do, The first one is the easiest but you can look at them all to be the judge.

But the problem is he got the phone off EBAY and most sms/mms have access to all the phone accounts so I think the best thing to do is WIPE ALL reflash/reroot because the phone is rooted and you don't know where/who the phone really came from or who made the apps. Just to be sure i think that would be a good thing to do don't you, I mean if I/you got a hard drive or sold one you/I would wipe it, The phone is the same thing it's just a different type of computer/hard drive.
I have root access now by using Gingerbreak installed on my optimus sd card so now I need to find the correct procedure to removing them from my command prompt on my computer. What are the steps and then what are the commands to remove apps from my Optimus V ?
thanks in advance
I have found a more automatic way of removing the bloatware. I downloaded root explorer and moved the app files from within the system->app to my sdcard. That way if I ever want to I can move them back.
The guy above me is correct as well but E.S file explorer is a free app with no ads and does everything as root explorer and looks better while doing it.
Click menu enable root settings/mount then long click the app you want to delete
I prefer not to delete but simply "move" to sdcard so that I can bring it back if need be.
or you can use titanium backup
Before you move anything make sure they're safe to remove, as in won't affect other apps. Having a backup won't hurt too. Many apps can uninstall system apps, among them Titanium Backup, Gemini App Manager, Link2SD or file managers with root access such as Root Explorer($), Ghost Commander, ES File Explorer and File Expert.
A safer way is to freeze the bloatware using Titanium Backup Pro($) or Gemini App Manager rather than deleting. You aren't likely to be using the space in system memory anyway.
I like using the Harmonia ROM, but I have an S Screen, so I also use the Xionia Anykernel 14 with a button switcher, so it functions GREAT so far, and none of those crappy preloaded bloatware apps, but if I ever need to get back to the original OS, I can nandroid restore my backups of my old system.
I am a newb here but learn fast so... Situation is, I have moved to Cyanogenmod9 and love it. I have done a lot of tweaking and arranging to my liking and am tired of all that. Problem is I need the info written on Snote files in the original ObjectionICS backup. Can I get inside that backup and extract those files or do I have to revert back to that backup, write down the Snote info I need, and then go back to the future..lol...and reinstall the backup I am making now, of C9? Also, will my "recovery mode" back up to internal sd card...return EVERYTHING to how it is now? I mean like disc image identical? Or will I have to reimport contacts, assign wallpapers, lockscreen widgets etc etc etc? Also, am I correct in making it back up "to internal sd card"? or should I have just hit yes to the first menu item "backup"??? Sorry if I'm being confusing or stoopid....
here this might help:
If you go to: wiki.cynogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Using_theRecovery (sorry but cannot post external links yet... )
Now if you used NANDroid backup then:
[NANDroid]A utility, accessible through Recovery Mode, that allows you to backup the device and restore to the exact condition at backup.

Click to collapse
If you used CWM Recovery to backup before you went to CM9 then I believe you can backup as it would only backup applications and settings of said applications also backing up system data like sms mms emails contacts etc..
I would really suggest checking out TitaniumBackup Root Pro
I would also suggest that you also get these apps as to help facilitate better tools for backing up stuff, managing roms, and just all around must need applications for your android phone.
ClockworkMod Recovery Pro as it allows you to switch ROMs and works good with TitaniumBackup.
root explorer file manager the best file manager i know of for android allows you to easily move files around the file system and change file permissions also checkout link2sd for linking installing apps to external sd and easy switching of applications to and from internal and external storage.
I rooted my new S4 Verizon phone, installed SuperuserSU, safestrap and Titanium Backup Pro and a SElinux mode changer,root file explorer and another busybox app just in case. The titanium backup app is working freezing and deleting but has no option to move to sd card. It is not grayed out it just is not there.
Then I found a program that re wrote a line of code to make the sd move just like the previous android version 4.3.
Still can not move the apps that are phone bound with either program.
Titanium only today started populating values into the right hand column for the back up and things after looking everywhere online for an answer.
I would just delete and reload Titanium but dont want to lose hours of work setting apps up.
thanks for any suggestions, dave
