Picked up a Vibrant a few days ago, but Im having some issue restoring my apps using Titanium backup 3.3.2.
I having an issue where Titanium Backup says its restoring, but just sits there doing nothing. Somehow Ive managed to get it to restore once, but I had to wipe and now I cant get it to restore for the life of me. Tried w/ original busybox and the one that downloads inside titanium, both w/o success. Seems that titanium has some sort of issue w/ the Galaxy S.
Has anyone found a solution that allows you to restore your apps? Thanks!
EDIT: Whats really strange is if I try to hide titanium, relaunch it, and try and backup. It gives the message "backup already in progress" but for whatever reason it moves onto the next app...so strange
EDIT2: FIXED IT thanks to Joel, the awesome dev behinf titanium. Go into options and change the install method to "AUTO, Indirect" and it should work. Hope this helps others!
AWESOME!!! Thanks!
I also think Joel has one of the best apps for android. Great support and Dev.
I need a little kind help runing this.
When I press any of the batch RUNs I just go back to the previous screen.
I have the latest version, busybox install, rooted.
I can backup individual files, but nothing from the BATCH screen works.

open TB and before doing anything click the menu key.
Now click Preferences, App Installer Mode and change that to Auto INDIRECT, by default it will use Auto, Direct.
Now try to run a batch restore

Still nothing, when I press RUN I just go back to the Backup/Restore screen.
Should I then be looking for a GO or LAUNCH button?
This same thing happens on my G1, so it must be an evident stupid mistake I'm making, but I can't figure out what.

If your on the Vibrant now. you would once you open TB, push the soft key all the way to the left and a menu will come up.
Go into preferences from here.
Ah. had a bad install of Ti Backup.
Reinstalled and works as ordered now.
thanks.
granduke said:
Appreciate your patience and assistance here.
Yes, I've gone to Preferences and made the change your suggested. This is not my problem.
I can not run any batch commands. I can not backup/restore/verify or any of the other choices.
When I press any of the RUN options, I drop back to the Backup/Restore screen and nothing happens.

ah sorry I misunderstood.
Couple questions.
Does the backup/restore batch commands your running show a number to the right indicating how many apps are being restored/backed up?
TB should request Super User permissions when it first launches, but to make sure open Super User and make sure you see TB in the list of allowed applications.
Thanks for your help. Everything works fine now.
See my previous edited post.
Don't recall ever having to reinstall a faulty app before. Still it is something I should have checked earlier.
Since the OPs problem has been sorted, I hope its Ok that I post a problem.
I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would improve some performance issues.
- DLed Ti
- menu > batch > run "backup all user apps and sys data" > select all > run (all items under backup/restore tab had check, smilie, or smilie with M)
- factory reset
- installed Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore all apps and data" > select all > run
- clicked "install" for each downloaded app (is this normal or should it be automatic?) data was reinstalled automatically
- rebooted
All downloaded apps were restored and settings were restored.
market dl history was not restored, system user data was not restored (browser bookmarks, text, call log etc)
- opened Ti
- menu > batch > run "restore missing apps and all sys data" > select all > run
- reboot
market links are now restored but still no texts, call log, browser bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings etc.
I'm great full that Ti made restoring apps so much easier but I know it can restore all sys user data as well. What did miss or do wrong?
Ok so I have an issue where i was flashing the ROM Tranquility for my droid x and it was difficult to get it running but now it seems to be going ok. But now I'm trying to restore all my apps using Titanium and for some reason as soon as i try to restore even one, the phone quick reboots. PLEASE HELP, becuz i have a TON of apps that i just dont really wanna go reinstall every single one

So why are you posting it in the vibrant subforum? I recommend posting this as a new thread in the droid x, q and a section. Since we're on the wrong carrier with a different device.

I have a problem where I backed up all of my data, verified it successfully then installed the latest Continuum 5.5(updated from 5.4.1) and then tried to restore my system data(Contacts, SMS, etc.) but after the reboot, none of these show up?
If it verified without any errors then how could it just suddenly not show up?
Brilliant, I am glad this post is around because I was having the hardest time trying to figure this one out. Thanks for the info!!

This just helped me with restoring my HTC Sensation! Google is awesome, lol.
"AUTO, Indirect"
didn't do any good...
I'm up to try regular android restore, but will take ages...
I don't see this option "AUTO, indirect" in TitaniumBackup 4.4.0 version, but I have same problem here.
Finally found that "indirect mode". Works great now, thanks !!!!

The option is in preferences>app processing mode. (the second last option)
I have a problem with some restored apps such as Gmail. If I restore app and data the app won't sync properly. It will delete the emails but they still show in unread and when I load Gmail on the PC the emails are still there.
I have found numerous apps to do this.
Has anyone encountered it and solved it? I've tried everything including indirect but all I can do is reinstall the apps and set them up again.

So I've been happily running Calkulin/Clemsyn v.5 forever and have even talked some mates through their own installations.
While doing just that over the phone, I booted into CW to better walk this guy through the steps. I took care not to "select" any of the recovery commands, I thought, and only ran "reboot system now."
After a lengthier-than-usual boot animation, my tab opened to "force close" for every app. Info shows I still have Calk/Clem and all apps still live in my app drawer.
What's my best (shortest?) way back?
You didnt do anything wrong. The force closing is a known issue. Here is what you should have done when you first got your gtab.
1 install cwm
2 partition 2048/0
3 flash rom
You missed #2.
Thanks for your response.
Actually, I had partitioned to those parameters when originally flashing the ROM (and had even RE-partitioned at a later date while troubleshooting).
For the (Google) record, I went to CWM and wiped Dalvik cache then fixed permissions. One or both of those measures got back most functionality (with a lot of application data and system preferences missing). These I restored from Titanium backup.
I'm thinking the Fix Permissions did the trick. I read somewhere if you got FCs to run that.
Fix permissions in CW fixed the force close issue for me and many other people.
I have always used ROM Manager to do everything, but seeing that might not be the best way to do things..I have been having some other problems with restoring, and talked about it on another forum, but can't post the link here yet.
So, my nightlys said it is time to upgrade, so I am going to completely back everything up with TB, and fire it all up to dropbox. All of my system settings are 100% the way I want them... I also clicked the beta migration option in the preferences, hoping that would help me.
Step 1 - Backup all user apps + system Data
Step 2 - Sync to Dropbox
Step 3 - Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery, and do everything manually, not through ROM Manager
Step 4 - Clear cache and Dalvik
Step 5 - Run zip from SD Card
This time, it seemed like everything went as planned. When I started the phone back up, all the apps were in the same spot, and wallpaper was the same. Although, the first time, when the screen timed out, I couldn't turn it back on. Pulled the battery, and all is working fine now.
Step 6- went into TB and did a batch restore of all apps and data, but only clicked the green items. From reading somewhere else, it is only wise to do the green items, not the red, so that is what I did. Then reboot for all to take effect.
This is where I am confused. None of my data is restored. For example, I use K-9 Mail, and the settings aren't restored by the batch. But, if I go to that app, and hit the restore data, then it restores it fine. So, for me to do all my apps, the batch function isn't working, I have to go through and do 15-20 apps manually.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Why isn't the batch operation working properly for me?
Edit - Something else I noticed that didn't restore properly was any of my ring tones. Not a huge deal, but I thought might be worth mentioning in this dilemma.
So I assume you are on CM7 as you refer to nightlies.
You say that you wipe cache/dalvick cache and install. Then when you reboot all your apps are in the right place?
Then why on earth would you want restore your apps on top of the existing apps with TB? Maybe that is causing the problem. AFAIK upgrading with a nightly shouldn't touch your installed apps.
Did you check the app settings before restoring with TB?
As for the ringtones, I always had that problem when using CM7, just got used to fixing them after installing each nightly.
Hope this helps.
What version of TB are you using? I was having a similar problem doing restores on v3.9.0.1 and was having problems doing batch recovery with my SGS2. The status bar would come up but wouldn't successfully finish. I then upgraded to 4.0.0.0 and everything seems to work.. might give that a try if you're using an older version.

Yes, sorry, I am running CM7, but using the nighties.
As far as the apps, that's why I think I am doing something wrong. Last time was the first time everything was there, every other update, it was like I was starting off with a new phone. No app, no data, nothing. A brand new fresh start.
I will try it again in a few minutes and hope for the best..
Thanks for helping out with this one..

I am currently using the Pro, 4.0.2. It just seems that I have to refresh all the data for each app by themselves, but all at once won't work.
Upgrading my nightly now, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
I rooted my phone successfully and passed the test with the app Root Check Basic and I can use Wifi tether and everything. But when I start my phone up and try to use different setting options for my MOFO I get the error:
the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly please try again.
I have tried the system restore,
unfreezing all of my apps,
going to settings manage apps,
clearing the data for each app,
and I also tried doing the system recovery multiple times
and I still get the same error.
PLEASE HELP ASAP
I say thanks ahead of time

sounds good so far, now if your unlocked on cm7 it does that even on my phone
but if your stock you must have pooched it, nothing serious but you will need a computer and RSDlight because honestly, you did everything correct and its still hatin on you follow this link and you should be A-OK and reroot it again

Thanks for the help! I did try that and I kept getting a error with it. But I just got a new computer and I will try it again and see if it works. If it doesn't do you have any other suggestions?

best thing if that fails is to download the STOCK firmware and try even flashing that, if you come across the error code make sure you post it up in here so we can narrow it down
Just incase the steps above don't work, how would I flash with the stock sbf and restore it from Titanium Backup? I'm sorry I kind of a newbie to the rooting on android all together. Trying to get my experience now with some different forums

you would need to use RSDlight which can be found on the threads here or the one i posted above, i would help find the stock sbf but im at work and little on time now to find it. more then likely could be found via google.
everything you need to do can be found in ACS qbkings thread search the development thread and you will find it he does have youtube videos up as well that can help you step through step on reflashing the sbf to rooting unlocking and installing on your phone make sure you give him a thumbs up
Does anyone have a working link for the Motorola Photon 4G stock SBF file? All of the ones I have googled and tried to find were not available links. Anyone?????
Ok so I found out why I was getting that random error message before when I tried to go through the process of getting that stock ROM on the MOPHO to get rid of those errors. It was because I still had my SD and SIM card in still. So after taking them out and going through all the processes I got it working now. Thanks for all of your help!
The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
I would get this same error as well as other system apps crashing on both my captive (Samsung Galaxy S) and Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. The cause was that I restored system apps from older versions of android and they were conflicting with the newer build. When you do the batch restore be sure to deselect system apps such as phone 1.0. Most of these are marked in red so they are easy to route out. Also you can sort by install date to push most of them to the bottom of the list. I did not install phone however I am getting the error now on my new SG2 Skyrocket. Need to test it some more but do not have time right now. It may be CONTACTS/CALLS data, or maybe SMS/MMS/APN Dial Storage data that is the culprit. or maybe i missed contacts 1.0 or phone 1.0 when i did the restore. Anyway I will go back and do it again and let you know my finds.
BTW I am restoring my data to my AT&T SGII Skyrocket which was created on the Captivate running 2.3.3 Cognition 5.2. The SG2II is stock, rooted 2.3.5.
Note, using the Migrate System Data option in TB's preferences may resolve this too as restoring with TB across newer versions of Android have not been this problematic in the past and I forgot to check that option. Haste makes waste.
FIX
OK I got tired of my phone messing up so I took the time out to fix it.
My suspicions were correct, in my case the culprit was:
[CONTACTS/CALLS...cts Storage 2.3.5
You can either choose to not restore the offending data or if you have already done so and are experiencing the:
The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
error you can delete the data for the offending item(s) via TB.
To remove the data just locate in the backup/restore page the item(s) in question in TB and tap on them. choose wipe data. Reboot and it should be fixed.
A heavy handed way to avoid this or if you are not sure what is the offending data you can simply use the restore missing apps + data batch option in TB. This will ensure no system apps are replaced as this is the cause of the problem in the first place (replacing an app or its data with and outdated version).
If you go this route and still need the missing data imported, use google's cloud (account sync) to retrieve your contact, calender, and other data. As for text messages, you can carry these over with a free app on the market Backup SMS.
your findings are awesome! I just bumped into this "com.android.phone" FC problem with my newly flashed Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks a lot
Here's a new one. Searched and couldn't find.
I was on ICZen 1.3, and ran a batch backup on all user apps on Titanium Backup.
I should point out that some time ago on this ROM, I did flash the datafix_11032012.zip file. I felt this could be important information in the discussion.
I then reset/wiped/formatted and flashed ICZen 1.4 goodness. Waited, rebooted. Fixed Permissions, rebooted. I'm good to go to restore my apps+data.
But on the first couple that I restored (Angry Birds Space, among them), I tried to launch and immediately got a Force Close message "Unfortunately, Angry Birds Space has stopped"
This only happens when I try to restore with data. If I restore "app only", the app launches. But if I try to restore with data (even if "data only"), the app FC.
It's not a bad ROM download or flash. I've checked the md5 and even reflashed. Even went back to ICZ 1.3. Same result.
Being this is a data issue, I think the datafix file may have something to do with it. Who knows?
Any ideas here?
Two things. Did you do the data fix on RC1.4 (was it a clean install)? and I always suggest NOT doing batch backups with TB. Sure it saves time but in my past experiences, it cause more problems than it solves.
Try this. Go into TB and hit Preferences, then scroll all the way to the bottom and hit Troubleshooting. Once that opens, tick the Follow All Symbolic Links and see if that work.
Might have to wipe data and caches since you already tried to restore. Maybe not though. See if you can uninstall some app (I do not suggest useing AGB Space as a tester, it is a little wonky) and then reinstall it with the tweak above.

I've uninstalled/restored and even redownloaded from the play store/market. The app launches with no data, but whenever I try to restore the data (via TBu) that's when it FC. I have just tried this on another app (Pandora). Same result.
I think what Woodrube was trying to say after you restore the apps with data,
did you try to reboot to recovery, wipe both cache and dilvik.
when the phone starts up again you should see a msg say "optimizing apps 1 of 123" or something like, cant really remember what it said.
i'm using iczen 1.4 too , came from 1.3 but didnt do a full wipe. so far no issues, if you have a nandroid, you may just want to recovery and flash over.
I have the same problem... Without solution? =/
Same problem. Cannot find solution anywhere
would also like to see an answer. I have the same issue on my captivate
