I have Ultratoxic Rom installed and I want to do a back up with titanium
Click on Batch and then Back up all user apps +system data of which there are 203. It starts and then the phone reboots so no back up done.
I would like to have a back up so that If I do move to another Rom I can always revert back to this one.
Is there something I am doing wrong or how can I fix it?
Answers on a postcard
I've never heard of this ROM..anyway what i suggest trying is booting into recovery and fixing permissions and try again and see how you get on, failing that a full wipe and start again might be the only other option.

The details of the Rom are Here
Re booted in recovery and fixed permissions and then rebooted. Tried to back up go to about 3% & phone rebooted again no back up done
Is it necessary to back up the all user apps and system data? Most of the apps I can get again from the market? Tried backing them up separately and the same thing happens when I go to backup all the system data of which there are 164. The Back up of the user apps went ok?
If I do a full wipe this would clear all the crap from the ROM and I would have to flash it again but have not back up correct?
Can anyone help me with this or offer suggestions ?
Thanks
Considering that ROM appears to come with a custom kernel, try a stock kernel.
Try to do the same backup selecting "Exclude active apps" instead of "Kill active apps". You shouldn't have any problem.

Without killing them you get also a reboot? Then maybe the problem is somewhere else...
Try the following: Do the same batch backup but deselect all the items in the list that are in red, and tell us if the phone still reboots. Also, when doing a batch backup, if you look at the progress bar, you can see what app is trying to backup. Try to see in which app the phone restarts and see if its the same all the time, maybe its the apps problem and not TB.

That did the trick it was Busy box that I had to remove. What do all the items that are red mean?

How did you remove Busybox? What's that anyway? I'm experiencing the same restart as you do. Running Lite'ning ROM though.

The items in red are system services, so killing them could lead the phone to be unstable (or reboot).

You can find info about Busybox here: http://busybox.net/about.html
You should not remove it since many apps (such as Titanium Backup) use it. You should deselect it from the batch backup list instead.
Thanks! Deselecting system apps did the trick!

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.

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.

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.

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.

If it verified without any errors then how could it just suddenly not show up?

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.

Sounds like another app you have downloaded that for you. Have you tried tibu to find and uninstall that way?
I will check on it I already rebooted,fixed permission wipe both caches and still there I can long press it because upon pressing it it goes to the app.
I will try restoring my nandroid I guess maybe that should fix it since my backup is a clean copy with few apps installed

If you find the culprit app that installed it without your permission, make sure to let us all know so we don't run into it. Good luck.
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
Hey all, apologies in advance if this Q is answered somewhere. After searching XDA and Google and trying to avoid posting something new, I resorted to posting.
Running Shostock 2, and I have two issues with TiBu. The first one has existed for all versions of Shockstock2 I've run, and the second one is brand new.
1) TiBu is unable to restore apps, only data. I've tried the different App Processing Modes (as is often suggested), to no avail. This is a smallish problem because it enables me to sort through the apps I really want, but I'd rather just do it in TiBu than going through market installs and then TiBu for data. Any ideas of what might be amiss?
2) New in Shostock 4.1.1 - Whenever any sort of backup occurs, many many apps and processes FC over and over (including Apex). Closing and reopening, clearing RAM, etc., don't help. The only solution I've found is restarting. Is this a bad install of Shostock, TiBu, or something I should just expect?
Thanks!

I am also running ShoStock2 and TiBu and do not have any problems. I can backup and batch restore non-system apps with no problem. As pirate already mentioned, never use TiBu for system apps.
What i usually do before installing any new ROM is to delete all my TiBu backups and do them again fresh. Have you noticed off the FCs occurs always at the same point in the restore process? It might mean a problem with a particular app.

Not restore, but the actual backup process. The TiBu backup runs (changing App Processing Mode allowed it to run without TiBu hanging), then if I interact with the phone any time after the batch backup has begun (including after the process ends), the FCs come fast and furious.

I currently switched from 2.3.6 coz to shostock and used system apps restore to pretty much replicate my everything to shostock.
Does it cause a bug somewhere or somethin?

Some system apps can be restored safely, and others can not. If you are changing base, such as you did when you installed Shostock2 from UCKK6, then many of the system apps will be different. If you installed all system apps with data, your phone would probably not even boot fully, and at the least would constantly have force closes and/or freezes and other problems on almost everything. It is usually safe to restore apps like email, Gmail, memo, Google+, etc. but when I do, I always do only one app at a time.
If you ever have fc's, freezes, or other problems, then you should reinstall and restore more carefully.
A little update, since it looks like nobody has any ideas...The FC problem occurs when any app uses super use privileges. And the problem seems to be getting worse - randomly happening even when there is no apparent reason it should. Is it possible that the install of Shostock simply didn't take and I should try again? Thanks.
The FCs happen because when you restore system apps with a backup that was made on a different ROM base many of them will no longer be compatible. You never, EVER restore system apps unless you are doing so to the same ROM that you originally made the backup on. Your phone may appear to be OK, but nagging FCs will continue to happen with no apparent reason. Your only solution at this point is a reflashing of the ROM from scratch as there is no way to fix what you've done.

TiBu's most recent update mentions fixing issues with batch jobs. I wonder if that was my issue.
Anyway, given the lack of knowledge on this front, I went ahead and wiped everything, flashed Shostock2 4.1.3, had the same FC issues, wiped, wiped, flashed, wiped, wiped, flashed, rebooted several times. It's now good, but still a puzzling issue. Still, there's no good explanation yet of where these FCs came from.

Well, genius, my response was to the guy asking why not to restore system apps with TiBu. Did you even read that? I guess I should have quoted him so that you would have no reason to make a snarky reply to someone trying to help others, but what do I know?

An identical question was asked just a few days ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30314962
EDIT: just as a friendly tip: you will usually get a lot more help in this forum if others can see you have made a genuine effort to search for answers to your problem before you post.
Boy I'm not having great luck with my hardware atm. My Nexus 7 has got some serious lag issue, probably needing a factory restore, and now my SGS2 is playing up and looking like it might need the same. I'd appreciate the help before I go to that - not sure where I am on backups, I think this problem has been lingering for a while unnoticed, and its possible my scheduled Titanium task hasn't worked in a while because of this.
So let me run through. I was trying to update a few apps in the app store, and I got 'the package file is invalid' errors over and over. I was a little confused, and suddenly I was getting a flickering alert for 'low on application space' that would come and go.
I went into applications to see what my space was and it was fine, 400mb free. But I noticed that all of the apps were reading as zero size. I tried removing one I knew was big, and the free space adjusted by a real amount, but no change to the sizes in the listing. I went thru and uninstalled a bunch just to be sure. Even after this, I could still not install any apps without getting the invalid message.
I decided to restart and wipe the cache, thinking maybe something had gone wrong there. No change. All the installed apps were working ok, though, no problems running things. So, I decide that something minor has corrupted, and that a reflash of the current firmware would maybe do the job (which is a stock XEU build of ICS). I have 'Mobile Odin' and keep the current firmware file on the SD just in case. I of course want to run a backup first, so I fire up Titanium, which fails to do the backup, with an error about something catching fire trying to 'do calculation'. I begin to figure that something worse has happened by this point.
I decide to go ahead with the reflash using Mobile Odin. It seems to load fine, I tell it to wipe the cache and so on. The flash goes fine, and the phone reboots. I expected it to go through the little optimising applications thing it does, and true enough I see this box load up, saying 'start applications' and the spinning wheel. Then, it abruptly closes, and I get my home panel...
But here's where it goes severely wrong - every app I can think of now crashes, displaying the 'unfortunately XXX has stopped'. Boxes and boxes, for basically every app that in any way runs at startup, every widget, even my Swift Key and Swipe keyboards. Yikes! After clearing the huge backlog of boxes, I start trying to open stuff, and it quickly becomes apparent that no app will work, save for those that are physically part of the firmware (such as Settings, Messages, Phone, Contacts, Memo, Camera). Basically, unless its a stock app, it's just dead. My SD apps show up as if they aren't found, with the little grey SD box. I can't even open the Play Store to try redownloading an app.
I'm going to try, once I'm home from work, reflashing the firmware using desktop Odin. But, failing that, I will need a factory restore it would seem. Basically, I'm looking help either fixing the problem without a factory restore, or a way to back up my data (messages and app data) in case my Titanium Backups are old or broken.
Thanks :/
Edit: When I do a *#1234#, my CSC comes up as 'Unknown'. Would this cause these issues?

Flash a CF root kernel using desktop Odin, reboot into CWM via hard keys vol+ home and power. Find fix permissions, run it, reboot, hopefully work...
Most apps that aren't granted the right permissions that allow them to fulfil there main task will usually end up in a FC.

1. Backup your important data.
2. Uninstall apps you don't use
3. Using a ROOT capable explorer goto /data/app on your phone, delete all .odex files you find there
4. Disable System apps you don't need/use
- Goto Settings - Apps - All - Select the app you want to disable, select FORCE STOP, then DISABLE.
Repeat the step for each app
- Alternatively you can use titanium backup pro to freeze those apps
You can find the list of apps you can disable: here https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
5. Boot to recovery (the stock recovery)
- clear cache
- reboot phone.
6. If any user / system app gives you force stop warning, then clear the days of that/those app(s) in settings.
You should notice the difference!

6. If any user / system app gives you force stop warning, then clear the days of that/those app(s) in settings.
You should notice the difference!

Thanks for that, but I'm sorry, what? I seem to be missing something - you've answered something that seems to be an entirely different problem! I can't even RUN an explorer let alone grant it root - so I can't reach the ODEXes, which aren't the reason for the FCs anyway.
This 'fix permissions' sounds like a good plan, I just need to know my best method for getting CWM onto the phone given it's state. I think I can use the update.zip method, but I may have to just wait until I can get to a machine capable of running Odin for me, to flash the CF kernel.

Ok.
Let me tell you some things you need to know
1. Fix permissions only has much effect on system apps, only if their permission is broken
2. Flashing a new Kernel will never fix many FC
3. Have you booted to recovery and wipe cache? If after doing this and your problem still persist, then you might have perform a Factory Data Reset.
4. Flashing a new firmware via Odin will not dramatically stop Force close errors. You will still need a factory reset to fix that.

I've tried wiping cache in recovery, yes. The only apps that run are the system ones. I can't explain why permissions may have been broken on the other apps, but it may be the case, so I'd like to try it. And, it was a flash via (Mobile) Odin CAUSED the FCs, so I don't know if that's true. Regardless, I'm heading home now, I can try flashing the CWM and run the fix permissions, and otherwise I need to figure out a backup solution before I factory restore.
I don't mean this wrong, but I'd prefer you don't just throw generic (yet good for general faults) advice if you don't have personal knowledge of the particular problem. It could be misleading.

You know my aim wasn't to mislead you but to help. I actually missed somethings in your Original post like "Every apps now doesn't work" etc
Because the only apps that run now are the system apps proves that there is something wrong in the /data partition, a location where all user apps, settings etc are stored.
Anyway, it's always very good to try all other means possible before factory reset.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you or have a go. I appreciate all the help about to try flashing the rooted CWM kernel, to try the permissions fix. If that doesn't work, I need to figure out some way of doing a backup of sorts, before I do a restore :crying:
UPDATE: After flashing the CF-Kernel to access CWM, I'm getting a message I'm unfamiliar with "The System UIDs are inconsistent" yadda yadda factory reset. I'm currently 'fixing permissions' It looks like it's stalled, but it may just take a while. I have a lot of apps. Anyone understand the UIDs message in my context?
Update 2: Had to factory restore, but was able to restore almost everything with no problems from a CWM nandroid backup. Thanks for the help.
