Ok so theres a few apps I deleted from my atrix ,using TiBU, that I just read shouldn't have been removed.
I honestly can't even remember which ones they were, but I think it was 4 and they were some stock ATT apps that were deleted from the system folder.
I basically just want to know if anyone has the stock bloatware so that I'm able to restore them and then just freeze them with TiBU.
Look under the gingerblur thread, I believe there is a copy of all stock apk's in a zip file.

So I finally got my Transformer Prime and rooted it manually using the NachoRoot method because I wanted to get rid of all the ASUS bloat apps. After I rooted it, I installed Titanium Backup (free version cause my Market account is broke right now with purchases stuck in the Pending state) and since I couldn't use the "Freeze" function with the free version, my n00bness thought that if I backed them up first using Titanium Backup, then deleted them, that Titanium Backup would be able to restore them, but I found out the hard way, that wasn't the case... I've since read that it will only restore them if the app is still on the device.
So, my question to the people with more wisdom then myself is...
Is there a manual way to get those apps back on there via the backups that TiBa made?
I tried unarchiving them and manually putting the .apk's back in /system/app/ folder, but I noticed that the .odex file I don't have anymore and they're not showing up in the app drawer just putting the .apk files in there by themselves.
Is there anyone that would be so gracious as to do a full dump of the /system/app/ folder on the 8.8.3.33 build so I can just put the .apk's and .odex's back in there using Root Explorer?
My goal is to get those back in there the way it came stock and go back to using the Freeze method so it doesn't remove them so I don't have any issues when the ICS update hits.
Thanks in advance for anyone who chimes in to help!

i experience with Tbu is that you can batch add apps and their data regardless of whether you have them on the device or not... thats the whole point of it
and there is a dumb i believe in the development area... if i had my cable at work i woulda done it
but as long as you backed up in Tbu, just batch install them all

Also, next time do a NAND backup of possible.
You could always reflash your ROM too.
And yes, Titanium backup keeps all the files you backed up in a folder. So even if you removed it from your device. Titanium has a copy on your SD card.
Thanks for the reply.
When I go into the batch section (I'm now on the paid version of TiBa), if I go into "Restore all apps with data" or "Restore missing apps with data", those both show nothing in the list to restore... but I know they're there cause I see them on the SD card in the TitaniumBackup folder and if I do a "Verify all your backups", they all show up.
I take it I'm missing something or am in the wrong menu?

means you didn't restore them, really.
or something is wrong with the app
Can you restore without data.

No, does the same thing as when I try to restore with data... just sits there saying "restoring" but I can let it go for 10 minutes on just one app and I eventually just force quit it since I know it's not doing anything.

Okay, so I downloaded that dump (thank's for the link)... so if I just put in the .apk and .odex for each app TiBa removed, will that do it? Is there anything else attached to each app that would go anywhere else besides the user data (which I don't want anyway)?
If you see tbu app backup stuff on your memory card you may need to go into the settings menu of tbu and change backup folder location to the place where that folder is on your sd

how would you do a NAND backup without booting into ClockworkMod? Unless i've missed it somewhere that is not yet available on Primes, and there are no ROMS available as of yet.

Okay, so I downloaded that system dump and tried taking the apk and odex for AppLocker (one I had removed with TiBa) and put them in /system/app/ and set the permissions the same as the other apps in the app folder and restarted the device... AppLocker doesn't show up in the app drawer
Any ideas why?

And how would I flash an update if it's already on the latest version from ASUS?
You should be able to push the apk to system to data - the odex should be created in dalvik_cache on boot (you need to rename them if you want to move them into /system)
what happens if you just run the apk? will it not install itself?

my tablet will flash the latest manual update on itself
have you tried putting .33 on an sd card and doing a manual update. I know you already have it on, but if you put it on the sd card, it usually asks again if you want to update.
I'm using the PKMN Rom right now. When a new version comes out, I would like for it to auto-download the apps from the play store that I used to have. Is there something I have to change in the new rom to do that? A build.prop edit? Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup is your friend.
I came across a file
In the Rom zip try deleting sq-lopt
It's in /system/ect/init.d/
This would require a reflash tho
Joel could correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah, I have TiBu. But, it'd be nice if it auto-downloads after registering my g-account. Just wondering if it was a little mod I could do myself. That's all.

Thanks SCP! I will try this on the next PKMN update.
I've never gotten my Rezound to restore its apps or its wifi networks. I've also noticed that after a wipe, during the setup process, its asks you if you want to keep your device's networks and settings backed up with Google, but does not give you the option to restore your phone from Google like my Eris and my Transformers do... Has HTC just omitted this functionality??
Gingerbread did that for me but not ics. But I don't mind. Don't like it to auto download anyway.

I don't really think it's a good idea to restore from TB.
Although I paid for TB last year, I don't even bother installing it anymore.
When I flash a new rom I find it is MUCH better to reinstall an app from an APk than to restore it. I now use AppMonster Pro to save the APK from all the apps i use to a folder on my card and then clean install them on the new rom.....
The only times I have had it auto download was by signing into google during setup wizard.

Hm, I had a totally different experience. I had about 220 user apps installed. I did a batch backup with Ti Backup, and then a batch restore with data. I think there were seriously one or two apps that I had trouble with. I just wiped the data on those apps and set them up manually.
I guess I don't really see what the fuss is. Now I tend to just install apps from the Market so I get the latest version, and restore data on the few apps that I require lengthy setup.
I also tend to keep archives of my Ti Backup folders, because there are some times I need to go back to an old version of an app because of some crappy update.
I've done batch restore with data with Ti Backup with 200+ apps multiple times with virtually no issues. Some examples of apps I try to install clean are LBE Privacy Guard and Busybox Installer.
Maybe people are restoring system apps?
I always restore lots of different data and apps with tb and have no problem... Just don't restore something in red on system apps lol

Hi! I'm new in this GS3 forum.
My device is: SGH-i747 (AT&T)
I have the Stock ICS v4.0.4 but rooted.
I bought Root Uninstaller Pro for uninstall all the wasting applications and keep my phone extremely slim.
There are some apps, services, and utilities that I'm scared to uninstall.
Can you give me the list of stuff that I can uninstall safely with Root Uninstaller?
Sorry, my english is very bad.
Thank you!
There is a thread on the subject here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728126
You can just freeze them with titanium backup and if something breaks just unfreeze it..

I manually remove apps from system/app and data/app using root explorer. But first I copy to sdcard in Stock-apps directory and FTP to my PC in case I loose everything. Then if you need yo put something back you gave a copy. Also .make sure you have a good cwm backup on your SD card and you can boot to it in case you remove something needed for the phone to boot.

Titanium Backup save the backup by default on the external SD?

Hi there,
Sorry if a similar thread has been opened numerous times. But I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I rooted my S3 and want to try a couple of ROMs before I decide to settle on one of them.
I had a rom backup using ROM Manager, but I'm guessing that backup includes everything in my current system. I'll keep it, it's good to have an extra backup.
My question is, is there a way for me to have a backup of only some apps and their gallery folders (ie Whatsapp Shared Images folder, Instagram), my contacts and all of my pictures so I can get only the things I want back when I'm trying out new ROMs.
Also, what do you suggest before installing a custom rom? Thanks.

The app part you can do so with titanium backup or some similar 3rd part applications, I am sure they hundreds outta there.
Install new ROM won't affect your sdcard, so the images shared folder is OK, and setting can be restore by titanium backcup
Nothing special to suggest, just remember back up before you do it.

Don't use Rom manager
To back up make a nandroid in recovery
Back up efs with HC-KTOOL
Backup with titanium pro as well
Then make copies of all and duplicate to pc/cloud/etc
Thank you both for the answers. Especially about efs, I had no idea how harmful it was to not have a backup of it.
Hello, this was my first time rooting a phone so I tried it and everything went well, I deleted some of the stock sprints apps like sprint ID using titanium backup pro, decided to restore the phone but it seems like those apps are not back.
I unrooted my phone to see if that would fix the problem but it didn't. Is there a way to get those apps back into the phone?
Thank you
Download any custom rom (blur rom may included all apps) open it using winrar. Extract all system apps, copy necessary apps in to your sdcard . Then using esfile explorer (with root permission) copy apps from sd card to system/apps or data/apps (or try to install it). Change permission to rw-r-r if needs then reboot.
