[Q] Titanium Backup & GSB v3.1 - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue with Titanium Backup and restoring my apps properly. I've been using workshed's ROM for quite a while without issues. I recently went from GSB v3.0 to GSB 3.1. I always do full & dalvik wipes when flashing. In the past, I was able to restore my apps and data from Titanium without issue.
But now, the restore process just powers through all the apps very quickly, says it's done, but nothing is actually restored. I dont mind having to download the apps again, but losing my data kinda sucks. Anyone else have this issue?
P.S. I would post in the ROM development thread, but I'm not allowed yet...sigh.

I had that too. Only 5 apps actually backed up before I flashed. I also full wiped data and dalvic before the flash and it looks as if the problem came during 3.0 when I was backing up. Titanium, in my experience didn't like 3.0 very well. It's working great on 3.1 though so idk what to tell you. Once the data is gone, it's gone.
P. S. - if you ever have another q for shed I can post it for you. Just shoot me a pm with a link to the post and I'll quote it over there for you if I can't answer it for you.

luckily, i did a full nand backup before flashing, so I guess I could always wipe and go back to 3.0 to monkey around with Titanium some more if i want.
i really don't want to start Angry Birds over again....lol

Why are you playing that on an Eris, is the real question. lol

not gonna lie...it can be painful on an Eris, lol. but i'm stuck with it for about 2 months, so I make do.

Well, all I can tell you is that when I had tried to run it, there was a full game unlocker on the market for free. Don't know if it's still there but you could look.

I found Titanium acting weird on 3.1 as well. Just downloaded a new busybox and everything worked fine. Maybe shed has a bad busybox file in 3.1?

Maybe. Might want to check it out.

I noted that GSB 3.0 uses Busybox V1.16.2. The latest one is V1.18.4 - with a TON of updates leading up to this latest version (one, a memory leak fix). Perhaps Shed could roll the latest version into GSB 3.2?

So if CWR can't find sd-ext, how concerned should I be?

Whenever I'm wiping my Dalvik-Cache through CWR or even just doing a back up, I get a messege saying that sd-ext is missing. I've noticed this ever since I wiped prior to flashing my first ROM (Liquid Thunder Sense v1.0, maybe....) and hasn't really worried me since everything seemed to work fine. Now I'm on the new GB radio posted in the gingerJane thread with LiquidGingerSense, using the kernal that came with it ( Ziggy's GB test 6 I believe). I havent noticed any problems yet, I'm just wondering, should I be concerned? And if so, what do I do to fix it?

It always says that. As far as I know sd-ext is only.for some CM mods. Don't worry.
Awesome. Thanks

It's only there if you partition your sdcard for the old school method of apps2sd.

Help

Okay so I'm obviously new.. I flash many roms but it is so annoying that I always have to back up my apps with astro file manager but is there an easier was of backing up all my apps and everything else on the previous ROM so i don't have to through that extra crap to get everything perfect like my previous ROM.

Assuming you are rooted since you are flashing that many ROMs, don't most people use Titanium Backup? Has a batch mode to back up all system data and user apps... then I restore the ones I want.

Agreed. Titanium Backup can be downloaded for free from the Market and can be used to back up your apps to your SD card for later restoration.
+3 on Titanium Backup. Well worth the six bucks or so that it costs. Itll restore market links and apps alike. Theyve even got an auto restore feature. The free version is nice, but nothing beats the 0 click restore of the pro version.
Ti doesn't install data correctly on sense 3.0 roms. Just food for thought.

How so? Works perfectly on my end and Im on Synergy with 3.0 sense. Whens the last time you updated? 3.8.8.1 pro restores everything I need back to where it belongs and Ive not had any issues on that front.

Your lucky as many others have had issues restoring data (not system data, just app data) including me. Yes, I was on the latest release.
EDIT...
I use (my backup pro) now and it's been flawless for restoring apps and app data.

This is the first Ive heard about it to be honest. What ROM are you on? Perhaps try another one? Us Synergy users arent having any issues with this.

Apps to use with root.

I just acquired s-off and all the good stuff. Now what apps are essential or at least interesting to have with root? I had a couple for my Evo 4G but recollection of any of them is long gone. Except for Shoot Me.
Enlighten me fellow members. Thanks in advance.

I have to throw in support for my app Flash Image GUI as it allows the flashing of kernels and recoveries from android w/o rebooting to recovery mode.
I consider it essential, but that might be a biased opinion!
Glad you're rooted!

Question on Titanium Backup. I had purchased a key for the full version when I had the 4G but now it doesn't show as purchased. Anyone know why that might be?
As far as doing an entire phone back up, what are recommended steps before jumping into a rom?
Thanks again for refreshing my mind.

Prl/profile update problems

I get a vdm client quits when i try to update my prl or profile. Can anybody help? First happend on clean rom 2.5 so i flashed viper 1.3 and still have the problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
If you haven't already try doing a clean install of whatever ROM you decide to stick with. Then, try running the updates before any titanium backups or anything like that. Also, are you on HBOOT 1.5,4, or 3? Are you using Rev's method of root or HTC's? If HTC make sure you're using the fast boot method when flashing the ROMs as to have a matching kernel along with them. Hope something here helps.
Maybe it is titanium backup. Thats the only things that have changed since the problem started.

Oh and, for future reference, this thread should have been posted in the q & a section. Letting you know lest you get flamed in the future.
Thanks. This seems like the other 200 questions on general, so i guess ill never understand what goes where.

This is a little embarrassing but.

I just went from froyo to using Padawan 6.2
Only thing is I can't get jigglestar to work anymore. I guess it's not a big deal but I used to have a lot of fun with it.
Any idea if it's the app or something specific with my phone?

If you restored the app from titanium backup and its not working, try uninstalling it and install it fresh from the play store
BTW, how the heck did you have froyo on your note? It came with gingerbread when first released and now comes with ics. lol

Im sure the OP means GB ....
Plus 1, on a fresh app install from the play store ..
And under "applications " on the device, set the ..."run older applications in compatability mode ".....to..."ON"....g
Oh no, was froyo on a different device.
I never did anything with the more until after I rooted it so I have no experience with gingerbread.
I installed it on my note from the market.
I am thinking it is probably in dire needed if an update and isn't going to get one. So sad because it was the best boob app ever.
