Working Titanium Backup - CM9 A.0 - TouchPad General

Let's be real, this deserves its own thread. Many people live by the sword of Titanium Backup and it's currently broken in the first Alpha of CM9 for the Touchpad. I've searched through about 9 threads and several info files and have yet to resolve this issue.
So far there seems to be a Superuser issue that doesn't seem to effect Titanium Backup Version 4.0.2, which you can get HERE. That said, restoring files continues to fail. Has anyone had success with this? If we can get a fix I'll update this post to help others.

i agree it deserves a thread...but why in development section? why not in General or Q and A section?

I would suggest just using important apps only until this is fixed. Way too alpha of a build to load up a ton of apps.

Because I'm stupid and didn't pay attention. A mod should move this.

My biggest attempt was to check compatibility and display of apps I use regularly. I'm not concerned with stability at this point, I just wanted to load a ton of data and apps and see what sticks.

I just flashed CM9 over CM7 - everything worked fine and all my apps are still there

I don't see why they don't just use My back up root until titanium is fixed. It put all my apps and data back perfect.

I just flashed cm alpha0 and ran into this problem. Will try the 4.0.2 and restore some of my apps just to try everything. Looking forward to New versions with fixed titanium.
Will try my Backup root. First have to migrate Backups from phone

You know if you use ACMEinstaller2 there's no need to wipe anything. I was able to keep my apps/data/settings and I'm yet to run into any issues. This was mentioned in Dalingrin's OP on RootzWiki.

And Titanium Backup still works for you? Didn't for me.

Freezing apps does not work, and restoring apps only works if you set the app proccessing mode to INTERACTIVE.
I remember a similar issue on CM7 for the Epic 4g.

My point is you won't lose any of your apks + data. The only reason I use TB is make batch backups of my apps (which I did prior to flashing CM9), since i didn't have to wipe, not being able to restore is not an issue for me.

As worthless as this thread is becoming, it does appear that the newest version of Titanium Backup (4.7.4) does seem to be working after removing and updating superuser. Well, once at least. Functionality is back to broken again it seems.

It seems like this is the logical answer for now. I've always wondered why more people don't use My Back Up Root instead of TB anyway.

ultimate backup and restore worked for me

If you first install the app from market, you can install the data from titanium. That worked for me. The only hassle is that you have to do it one by one.
Edit: I'm running the pro version 3.8.7. There's a link for it here somewhere.

thanks! i needed TB to run whatsapp on CM9

4.5.2.2 is working for me. dont know if itll work for everyone though.

Apps not showing in market with CM7 that do with stock ROM.

I would like to use CM7 however when I try to download Hulu Plus from the market it's not available. It is available in the stock and UnNamed roms. I haven't tried any other device specific apps, I assume the same goes for them. Is there something I can change in the build.prop to get this to work? I would like to get regular updates for the apps as well. So I'm not looking to just use an apk off of the internet.

If you ha e a nandroid backup of your stock rom and IF you didn't use titanium backup to save all your apps and data THEN go back to your nandroid backup and restore to unamed rom, make sure you have backed up the hulu+ app with titanium. Then go back to your nandroid of CM7, open tibu, restore the hulu+ app. I don't use it but I saw someone else post that when they restored their app from tibu it worked fine. Once it is installed you SHOULD still get/have available any updates as normal.
Disregard this IF you already backed it up with tibu and just restore it.
On another note yes you can change your build prop so you can get unseen apps. I am not sure what changes you would need to make though. I used to do that on CM7 with my captivate when Netflix wouldn't show up with CM7. But that was corrected a long time ago.

I have used my backed up Hulu plus app on CM7. Just want to know if I would definitely get updates as long as its attached to the market. Can anyone confirm this?

Don't think you will get updates sideloading like that.
Did you try using airplane mode trick? Wipe cache, enable airplane, enable wifi check. Don't know if that will help or not but its worth a shot

I am pretty sure it will work for you. Like I said I was using the hacked Netflix app well before it was available on our captivates a d when it got updates I was able to see it and download it. Then it wouldn't work saying it wasn't supported in my device. Then I would change my build prop again and it worked fine. I have also had apps that I have sideloaded from xda and once they were available on the market or bad updates I would get the updates and use the apps with no issues. I would bet you will be fine once you have it working.

Here is some quick info, for those that are debating leaving CM7.
Some (but not all) things that DO NOT WORK:
Netflix
HD-Youtube
Mic
Camera
Some Market apps
Titanium Backup
Most of the hardware problems from CM7 still exist in this CM9 alpha build.

Did you forget to include ClockWorkMod Recovery in the update folder on SDCard /root?
if you don't care about losing your data you can just flash the zip as you normally would from CWM.
Working pretty good so far. Just had a reboot with root file explorer but otherwise very smooth and usable.
edit: maybe i downloaded the wrong file, but is there a gapps with the new google music? the 7.1 that i downloaded that was linked on page 1 has the old music apk.
Smooth as butter.
Works great, didnt have any issues updating using ACME installer 2.
I flashed through cmw, I rebooted and all is well

Sounds good. I need Titanium Backup to work though
I tried a bunch of Titanium Backups and I got 4.0.2 to work.
4.7.x, 4.6.x, 4.5.x don't seem to work. 4.0.2 works perfectly.

Google's Backup system

For those of you who use this, how effective is it vs titanium backup?
5 stars
Imho it is the gold standard.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
It works fairly well. Remembers apps, different settings like wifi spots, bookmarks.
For app specific data, it's hit or miss. Mainly because it's up to the developer to decide if they want to include their app in the backup service.
That being said, I use titanium 99.9% of the time, just so I know for sure that my app data is being saved.
Thanks for the replies. TB used to be reliable, but now I've found restoring data is hit and miss; can cause many fc's.
I'll go ahead and try Googles backup system i guess

I flash quite a bit, especially with my old epic 4g. Went from gingerbread stock to CM9 to AOKP often. When restoring data for certain apps, it can cause issues

I've personally run it from eclair to ics, on hero, droid, nexus one, evo, evo shift, thunderbolt, transformer, transformer prime and now evolte. stock, fresh, viper, miui, aokp, evervolv, revolver, cm and never a fc. I'm pretty sure the problem would be with the apps themselves, not titanium.

It's not an app its just the backup option in the phone itself. I dont have my phone in front of me but its somewhere in the settings where you can check a box that allows google to backup and restore your apps and settings if you have to factory reset.

[Q] Restore selected apps with Titanium?

Ok, before I get flamed, I know there's a batch option in TB to restore all apps you have a backup of in one shot. However, I have backups of a bunch of apps I don't necessarily want installed right now, but I don't want deleted completely either. I'm running Newt's OneXXX RLS 1, and he just updated it to 2.1. I just got all my apps that I want installed on this, and don't feel like doing them one-by-one again if I update. My question is this: Is there a way to make a zip or something of just the apps I currently have installed on this ROM, and then to run it on the install of 2.1 so that only those apps will be installed? BTW, yes, I'm using Pro.
I just deselect the ones I don't want installed in batch.

I've been trying to figure out something like this too. Thought there might be a way to use labels to create a set of specific apps, haven't had time to mess around with it.

What is a good back up app besides TiBu?

I just need something that does batch back ups, and relatively fast.

you can use the app manager and root browser parts, just careful with the other options, you can mess up rom and have to sbf

You can't use TiBu to backup CM7/Blur apps and restore them to CM9.
.... You will get the same results using any restore program to go from gb to ics... Has nothing to do with tibu but the fact that most apps are a bit diff on ics

So I can't restore any of my apps to CM9 in any way?
From my understanding, apps can be backed up and restored with no issues. They are just apps you will be downloading again from the Play Store anyway. Your system apps though, dont try. Use titanium backup to backup your USER apps and their data and thats it. No system data or system apps or anything else. When you get CM9 installed, they should restore with no problem.

I'm on cm9 now. I don't remember if I restored from TiBu after switching or not. But the worst that will happen is it will give you and error or it will install but not open. But I really don't think you will have problems. Just don't mess with the system settings and system apps.
If you're worried about losing something, just do a nandroid backup of your ROM before doing anything. Then if something goes wrong, restore the nandroid.
I haven't had a single error restoring apps in cm9 using TiBu. I never restore system stuff anyway but I can see where it would cause problems with the different framework.
Is everyone on CM9 for the X2 liking it so far? I was CM9 for the X but my X crapped out on me and Verizon is sending me a X2 as replacement. I understand the cam corder still isn't working but has anyone tried using LG Camera for the cam corder? It worked for me on the X with CM9.

I have used App Backup and Restore before but found that in flashing ROMs it is best to just re-install via Google or nandroid back.
