I was curious if someone could or has a txt file they can post of all apps in system safe to freeze via titanium backup ..
Instead of deleting via root explorer.
This would be cool if we can get a detailed script

Its not freezing, but gives a pretty decent explanation as to which apk's you can delete and/or consequences. Check it out:

I currently have 4.1.57 but want to reflash back to 4.1.26 so that I can get root again. Before doing this, I'd like to backup my apps and data so that I don't lose some of my games, etc.
Are there any apps that will backup the data and applications without root? Normally I'd use Titanium Backup but this requires root so it won't work.
+1 I would like to do exactly the same thing! I have searched and tried but I can not find a process or app to backup "app+data" (game progress, app settings, text messages). I also have titanium backup pro but it obviously doesn't work without root. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

try mybackup from the market. I don't think it can grab app data or system data, but could atleast backup call log, sms, contacts, ect.
Unfortunately app data is what I need to backup. I've spent hours playing Game Dev Story and don't want to lose my game progress.
I don't really care as much about call log, sms's, etc.
Maybe there's a way to backup manually? Find the save files, put in SD card, flash SBF, move files back?

Is it possible to pull a copy of all the files on your system partition through ADB to your computer?

Does anyone know the syntax or a script to make a copy of your system partition?
Thanks

You can't without root.
So I upgraded my ROM from das bamf 1.6.3 to 1.8, and backup all my apps using Titanium backup. Well when I restore my apps, they all force close. If I restore just the app and no data, it works. But when I restore the data they start force closing. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
hmm...I've never heard of this happening before as long as I've used it. You are only restoring data for User apps right? Restoring system app data can cause FC's but I've never heard of it happening to user apps unless the data is corrupt.
You may want to make a nandroid, then load your backup of 1.6.3 and force redo all your backups then load load your 1.8 backup again and restore.
The only other thing I can think of is that TiBu is not setup the same as in the other installation. When you were on 1.6.3, did you select "Auto-sync TB settings" from the preferences menu so that they carry over? Also, TiBu is installed to the same place as before right (/system/app vs /data/app)?
I did not have auto sync setup. I did a batch backup of user apps before flashing my ROM. I tried individually restoring the user apps vs doing batch as well. I am not sure if titanium backup is installed in the same place. If I uninstall titanium backup, will I lose my backups? I might uninstall and reinstall titanium backup from the market

did you make a clockwork backup before going to the new rom version? if so then re flash 1.8 and then go into recovery and select advanced restore and then do data only from your 1.6.3. that should restore all your apps exactly as they were in 1.6.3 and totally bypass titanium so you could at least scratch that off the list if it doesnt work...

No, you won't lose your backups. They are in the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard which remains there regardless of whether TiBu is installed or not.

Not a great idea since that would restore all system data too.
If it's the same rom, that would be fine but it's likely to cause problems with upgrades (not always but usually).
Hmm can't uninstall TiBu. It came as part of the ROM I believe. I am kind of bummed to lose all my games progress

That's what's causing your problem then. I've noticed that data backups made with a /data/app installed TiBu have problems being restored from a /system/app version. That's why I initially asked if it was installed to the same place on both installations.
Manually remove the apk from /system/app using a file explorer or terminal (and pm uninstall it if you wish) then install from Market. Then you should be able to restore you backed up data.
If you want to know how to manually uninstall something (other than just deleting the apk using a file manager) check here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
Hmm I am unable to delete the file

Ive had the same problem. It only happens to my amazon downloads. Ive tired reinstalling tibu and restoring the data and app but nothing works. I just stop playing amazon games.

Yea. Like 90% of my apps don't work. Even ones from the market.

There is no reason it shouldn't if you know how to do it. That's why I included that link.

Like I said, if your previous backups were made with a version of TiBu that you installed from the Market then you need to install it from Market again to restore that data.
So, get a file explorer that performs root operations and delete TitaniumBackup.apk from /system/app.
Or in terminal type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -f /system/app/TitaniumBackup.apk
reboot
You may have to verify that is what the apk is named.
Anyway, after that, install TiBu from the Market, open it, and restore whatever apps and user data you want.
Thanks for all the help so far absolute_zero. I am having an issue where when I try the mount line, I get a message telling me the flags to use for mount. I am not that Linux savvy, but I am guessing it thinks I have an inappropriate flag set up or something. Any ideas?
I use titanium backup all the time. I flash roms probably every three or four days if you average it out.
One thing I had problems with once before was using titanium backup that was installed with the ROM. Ive done it both ways, restored my titanium pro using the regular titanium in the ROM, and just downloading and reinstalling the pro version from the market. Once I got my normal pro version installed it went like butter. I sync to Google, let the market install as many apps as possible and manually install a few important ones, then filter to user and "backed up". Once I have that list I batch restore missing apps and all app data.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
Awesome got it uninstalled, and the backups are working now. Had to uninstall it through adb though. Thanks for the help everyone.
Hi All
I am just wondering if it is possible to Restore APPS and APP Settings from a DATA.img file using an update.zip.
I extracted the contents of a DATA.img file and used the DATA and APP directories to populate the update.zip. I removed all the android and google directories and APPS.
When I apply the update.zip some of the APPS work perfectly yet others Force Close all the time.
Am I missing something, do I need to restore some other files?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Just use titanium backup to backup ur apps, than restore ur backup easily with batch operation.
Only app or app with data, choose what you want.
And its safe.

Either use root explorer to put the apk into /system/app
or
download android commander and install as a system application or push to /system/app

Here's my titanium backup for the music app, just change the Music2.zip filename to Music.z01.
Hello there. It seems I got the download manager corrupted when trying to put the playstore to work. The thing is I have backed up the files with titanium backup in my pc. But i am unable to access it. Because i did a factory reset excpecting it will restore all the files.
Now i have the backup and apps in the download folder, however as the KFHDX does not come with a file Explorer i cannot install titanium backup to restore. Also any download for all interfaces fails (Email, browser, apps, books).
I would appreciate any help in solving this issue.
