I recently flashed the resurrection ROM. I then accidentally froze my music app through Titanium Backup, whilst usb debugging was disabled.
Is there any way i can defrost it? I have tried many different ways but no luck. I don't wana have to re-flash the ROM.
This is what I've tried so far.
* normal defrost
* advanced defrosting through titanium backup settings
* deleting the app through root explorer and reinstalling the app
* installing an alternative defroster from the market
* Backing up with titanium backup and then restoring with titanium backup
After everything the app is still frozen.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

That wouldnt be an ICS ROM by any chance would it because thats a bug that ICS ROMs are having with Titanium.As far as Im aware its still an unfixed bug.
Yup ICS. It's probably a bug with freezing and defrosting itself otherwise the other app would have worked..

I thought it sounded like ICS.Thats one of the bugs that still cant seem to be fixed at the moment.Its a pain in the butt too when you choose something by accident but at the moment I havent heard of anyone able to come up with some kind of work around to sort it out till the official release.
EDIT: Why dont you copy/paste it to your internalSD with root explorer then delete it with Titanium and then with root explorer copy/paste it to System/app folder again so it gets reinstalled as a system app.
Did that, didn't work... Doesn't matter now though.. I re-flashed :/. Just busy in setting everything up again now.

Thanks, i was not aware of this bug. my luck i didn't Freeze any important app. ill stick to my ROM and wait for the official ICS release.
thanks.
Just a quick update if it helps someone.
if you froze an app and cant defrost it, you can open Titanium backup, click the frozen app and choose "Uninstall", now you can install the app again and it will work ok.
Mine still gets reinstalled frozen.I have to back it up before uninstalling so it gets reinstalled frozen.
If you're still having this problem check out my thread for a work around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486300

I just flashed euphoria rc1 comming from stock JFD, and I am having problems with some gmail account from my own domain with gapps and also with whats app. Today I opened the XDA app, wich I always restore the same way with titanium backup and I have a problems singing in and it ask me to re enter my username and pass.
I think the are all related, whatapps is the one that gives me the most helpfull indication. It says conection failure, if you have whatapp installed on another phone, please delete it and then reinstall etc etc, something like that.
what can I do?
Hey groggycl,
I noticed my titanium backups caused issues with a lot of apps (including XDA) when backed up 2.x and restored to ICS 4.x. My first recommendation is to reinstall the rom and try again, but if you continue to have issues, restore all apps manually from the market, and then selectively restore data through titanium backup to each app one at a time, then test the app. This helped me narrow down which apps were ok with restoring the data, and which apps ceased to work.
Hope this helps.

I suggest doing this first before restoring the ROM altogether. It has worked for me too. Also the XDA has had 2 updates in 24 hours that both have required a re-log-in.

Great point! For me, I usually restore the rom first just because it's faster than going through each of my apps one by one, but it really comes down to how many apps you have/what works best for you.
Great tip on the XDA app as well!
The back up was made on passion rc1... and I went through every passion release doing the same procedure so I don't expect this to be a back up problem, but anyways, I am going to try it and tell you if it worked out or not..
thanks averyone!
I backed up my apps using Titanium backup and I tried flashing the codename android rom but when i tried to restore my apps using titanium, a lot of the apps cant be installed. Will i have to re-install all the apps one by one? What will happen to the app data?
Thanks

I've never personally had good luck restoring App + Data. I think it only worked for me maybe two or three times out of all the times I've tried to restore.
I've had much better luck re-installing the apps from the Market (now Play Store) individually, and using Titanium to restore JUST the app Data.
It makes it a pain, but at least it works, and you only have to do it once.
same problem
even i am facing the same problem...

before installing that ROM i had taken a titanium backup of all the apps & data..

How is this at all the same problem?
Sounds like you lost root when you updated, and need to re root. Also sounds like your AOKP install either was a wipe install, or you did a wipe when you installed, thus wiping out your apps.
ok,, after doing some research & analysis.. & also with some help from my fried.. i have restored the apps.. but they are not restored properly.. i havent checked all apps.. but when i opened whatsapp i see tat the display picture of 1 contact is applied to the display picture of another contact.. its reflected in people app as well..
also my sd card issue remains the same..
i am not able to see any folders which were present in my sd card..
@ctomgee - i still have root access..
please help
i dont know what has gone wrong..

Internal or external sd?
I don't know anything about AOKP, so I doubt I can help much. You are probably better off asking for help in the ROM thread.
Also you can restore your APP manually using the APK installer. Just locate where those APKs are stored...
Hope this helps!
Hello everyone,
I just got my S3 yesterday and have already rooted it and attempted to use Titanium Backup (TB). I was able to successfully restored a couple of apps, but the bulk of my apps wont restore. When restoring I am not receiving any errors, and it appears as it is processing/restoring them correctly, but when it finishes it says (it does say Restore complete), the apps do not appear in my app draw and in TB they have a line struck through them (typically means that it sees the backup information but it is not installed on the phone).
Anyone have any ideas?
Im on Sprint 16gb S3 and am coming from rooted OG Evo. I use the Root method found here
Thanks for your time and help
Maybe they are not compatible with ICS?

Did you try rebooting your phone?
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried rebooting my phone and still no luck. I came from CM9 on the EVO so there shouldnt be a problem with ICS (unless there is something that I dont know). Thanks though.
I did download one app and it was a lot of steps but was able to restore the data for that app. I am going to see if I can find the files for my sideloaded apps and restore the data that way.
If anyone else has any idea why this isnt working in the first place I would love to hear about it. thanks
Did you try manually restoring the apps? Titanium backup won't mix old data with a new version of the app or vice versa. If an app updated and you have old data backed up with the app, you would have to manually restore the app if I remember correctly.
Thanks. I tried but it wont let me manually restore them. When i click on the app, the option to manually restore is not there (it happens both when I have or havent manually downloaded the app). I can see that it still says that the current rom/phone is my Evo. So i am wondering if that has to do with it....just really strange. wondering what i did wrong.
Check out titanium backups website and Check the troubleshooting page. I think it talks about transfering apps from different phones.

hello guys,
i flashed my i9100 to ICS 4.0.4 UK then rooted it, i disabled some system apps thru system apps remover.
now when i try to re enable them in the default way (settings>applications>all) they are not even listed, and if i used the system app remover to re enable them again, once i exit from it automatically they disabled again.(system app remover is granted as superuser also busybox is on).
looking for help guys.
Did you uninstalled or disabled them? If disabled, I believe it's just like in Titanium Back Up. Install Titanium Back Up and see if the disabled system apps appear "frozen" if they do, click the defrost button! I just tried it and this works
When you are rooted and get to a situation where you are happy with your setup-make a nand backup.
Then use titanium and backup apps then uninstall the ones you dont like or need(being careful obviously).

Does it say which app it's trying to back up when it hangs on 2%? I've found that some apps don't play well with TiBu, especially when I'm trying to restore the app. Maybe you can exclude that app from the backup run.

I dnt know about the backing up issue but I can tell you when restoring apps and your having problems and ill asume its when restoring app/data cuz thats what I had problems with. When I try to restore both it hangs. If you just reinstall the app for playstore or the apk from wherever you got it from then use tb to restore just data ...That works everytime.
Maybe for backing apps and data up maybe do one at a time. It may take longer but youll get them backed.
