Hi all. Weird thing going on here. Been using TB under various rom's with no problems until now. I installed Intra's Frankenstein KK5 last night and just noticed that although my phone says TB is installed, it's nowhere to be found, neither in my utilities folder where it used to sit, nor in my app drawer. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still doesn't show up. Have turned phone on and off a few times also. Any ideas ? BTW, I'm rooted and using stock kk5 kernel.

Can you open it from within Android Market?
What launcher are you using? This is a bug found in some launchers. As I recall, Go suffered from this bug. Not sure if it has been resolved.
Tried that oinky . Just gives me the uninstall option which I've done 3 times and reinstalled but still doesn't show up anywhere.
Isn't the pro app only there to make the normal app fully licensed. In which case, you should be trying to open Titanium Backup ★ root rather than Titanium Backup PRO Key ★ root (you specifically mentioned in the thread title "Titanium Backup Pro").

Using TW donalgodon but you got me thinking, so I tried spb, adw and go, but still the same thing. Just not showing up anywhereexcept in manage apps but that only gives uninstall option, no launch unfortunately. Arghhh.

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.

Download Root Explorer (i'm not associated with) and go to System/App to remove a lot of the bloatware that came on the phone. I strongly encourage researching what can & can NOT be removed. ALWAYS make a backup. Here is a good thread about removing the bloat. Remember, I am not responsible. It will be some time before we have a custom ROM that removes this crap for us.

From here. Tons of useful information in that post
You can also use Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware. It is free from the market. You can also use adb to manually remove the apps via cli.
And here is a list of the apps that I removed.
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Feedandupdate.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_stockclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Weatherclock.apk/odex
The link posted by hurrpancakes is an excellent read and should answer most of your questions.
If you already happen to have Titanium Backup (or want to buy it), you can freeze/uninstall the apps with it with a GUI.

Lost Swype?
Hello
Got my vibrant rooted today and started removing bloatware..but after deleting swype tips it seems that swype is also gone
any help would be appreciated. Really liked swype..
thanks
Did you do a nandroid backup before removing the bloatware?
If you did, you will have to restore your nandroid backup and then start removing bloatware again.
If not, you will have to restore back to original using Odin...
I am not able to post links, but the odin restore method is posted several times throughout the forum if you do a quick search.
Thanks..I'll try odin. I installed slideIT but it seems pretty inaccurate at first
I used the titanium backup method and rid myself of most of the crap on my phone. Thanks for the Info everyone!

OK...I am new to Android. I have my phone rooted but am wondering how can I uninstall some of the junk that came on the Thunderbird. Stuff like Blockbuster and the Golf app. Also how can I change my boot screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Titanium backup,(suggest pro where u can freeze them) is the easiest way.

I downloaded Titanium backup and it says i am not rooted. I have ROM manager and superuser in my all apps screen.
I chose to install one of the custom roms that just removed the Verizon apps... Provided link below. Though did have to redo some of the root process after flashing the custom rom, but not a huge hassle. Plus got rid of the bloat thanks to adrynalyne

still learning this phone. Not sure if I am ready for that yet I do not even know how to flash to a new rom yet. I used the fast root method that just came out yesterday to gain root to the phone. I know....I am not hard core yet.

free version is ok but pro is better... you can freeze apps first, if it messes something up defrost it and dont uninstall!
Thanks for the help guys. Do you think getting rid of the apps like Blockbuster, Golf, Twitter etc would do any harm?
I deleted mine with TiB, no problems...
now i just have to figure out how to delete them
Tried to go to my apps in the Market and keep getting this crap!!!
I get that after a fresh wipe and ROM install. I think it's a matter of Market talking to the phone and reading what apps you do and do not have currently installed.

OK well first relax. Issues like this are common when flashing custom roms. Your best bet is to do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. Also don't restore any system data at all as this can cause issues. Only user apps and data
Reboot! Always helps!
Same here factory reset worked

Guys I'm Trying everything!! I Reflashed a Rom and it was Working... Then All of a sudden it said Android market process Force closed, then I couldn't get to my apps again. I just reflashed for a Second time and its still Not working...
Also during the Time when i got it working, all the apps I already purchased were asking for me to buy them again! WTF?
Anyone have any other suggestions?
I thought about contacting Google, or whoever the Hell could Restore my user information!

Hi, I know this problem. When you flash a new rom and afterwards apps were installed with a backup tool (e. g. titanium bu) and not with google market directly this error can occur.
When there is one app which was removed from market the error in your screenshot is shown. In my case it was the old version of "cut the rope". To solve this problem it is necessary to remove this link to the market or deinstallation of this app.
As long as there is a mismatch in the app-market-assignment it is also possible that you get the message that apps were not bought.
It is possible to un-link apps using the "rom toolbox pro". As far as I know it is not possible with the free edition.
I would make a nan backup and try to uninstall all apps directly in the market (on your PC not on your cell phone). Afterwards it should be possible to use the market on your cellphone. When something fails you can restore your backup.
Update: when you know which app is the source for your error --> use ur backup again and uninstall just the known erroneous app.
Its a lot of work

Hey Thanxx Alot man!! It Worked... Tried everything before your advice! Your the Man! Lol...
hey guys,
My questions is regarding the fast/auto app install on titanium backup, some time ago after flashing a new ROM the Hypershell stopped working, i change ROM quite abit and cant remember which rom (if it was a rom that caused it) it was when the problem started, no matter what i do or which rom i put on my phone i still get the "Fast/Auto app install, NO(Hypershell needed)".
I have unistalled/reinstalled Titanium Backup app, the TB Pro key, Superuser app, Busybox, done wipes, flashed new and different roms but it is always the same, i assumed if i was missing something, a new rom with full wipe would sort it , but i'm obviously wrong, i am obviously missing something but i dont know what, if any of you guys could help it would be much appreciated.

Come on someone must have an answer for me.
i had the same problem with another app,
you can check to another sd card ,partition the card ,install the rom ,and install the app,if it work then you must copy your filew of your basic card to the pc,format your card ,partition your card with the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition",paste your files and thats it .
i hope to work it,
it 's work to me
For anyone suffering from this issue and finding this thread, I'd figured out what to do (once ensuring I have the Pro Key installed properly) go into TB's "Menu->Preferences->App processing mode" and (re-)select "Auto, Direct". Then restart TB, and you're all set!
I think that what happened is I'd tried running TB w/o the ProKey installed and it reset that setting. Since TB saves to your SD Card, it doesn't usually get wiped on a reset, so it'd picked up the old, non-ProKey setting (my TB said "Hypershell YES" and "Fast App install NO (need Hypershell)".

Thank you very much man. it really helped me.
I could not get into that ">App processing mode" setting so I uninstalled the pro key and then reinstalled. TiBu force closed but when I reopened it I had Fast/Auto enabled again.
Hi. I cannot find App Processing Mode in preferences. Do I need the PRO version for Titanium Backup to work properly?
