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...
yesterday i rooted my phone & installed AOKP ROM
before installing that ROM i had taken a titanium backup of all the apps & data..
now i am not able to see any apps.. not even the titanium backup app..
also my sd card shows no folders..
please help...

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!

I have just recently downloaded Titanium Backup in order to save my apps because I want to try new ROMs that say to do full wipes including EXT wipes. I was just curious what the proper way to use the program to restore apps was. Also, if Titanium Backup saves to your sd card and you do an EXT wipe, won't that delete all of your saved data? How does it restore? I hope this question isnt on the forum somewhere, I tried searching and couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for.
Thanks for the help. You guys on here have been lifesavers.
Hi,
Okay so first Titanium backup will back up your system settings and your applications and does a fine job at it too! When you wipe your Ext2/3/4 partition all your doing is cleaning off any data held in it. This does not effect your fat 32 partition which is where all your stuff is (pictures, albums, films, ringtones etc) I haven't deleted my fat32 partition ever as this never needs touching really. Apps2sd runs from your Ext partiton so wiping will kill all your apps but this is where Titanium comes in and as it saves to the fat32 partition you have no worries wiping. Also suggest backing up on a PC, I do once a week and saved me a few headaches
Open Titanium and hit menu, then batch. This will bring up a list of options to 'Run' backup or restore. I would strongly suggest also to donate $3.99 for the paid version with the hyper shell.
Anything else you need help with?
Nope. Thanks man. I just needed a few things cleared up before I went ahead and wiped my ext. You were a great help.
No problem, glad to have helped
you say it saves system settings...
so i have about 30 ringtones set to specific contacts, if i wipe/flash a new rom.
restore using titanium backup. Will all those ringtones be set back to the proper contacts automatically with TTB? cuz its a pain in the *** setting them each new rom
i tried mybackup pro a long time ago and it didn't do this which is why i don't waste my time with that app. (that may be changed now, it's been about 8 months)
would I be able to Restore my backup if I have flashed a new rom without problems?
I'm having problems with Titanium Backup. I made backup of a lot of apps before flashing some new stuff to my Galaxy S, but now when I try to restore them it just gets stuck. At first there's that little window saying restoring, but that disappears and it seems like everything is fine. However, when I try to restore next app it just says that a process is already running and it stays that way until I kill it via Autokiller. The app gets installed so that's fine, but the problem is that I would really like to just run a batch-operation and not have to kill the Titanium-process for every app i have back-up of...
Any solutions good people of XDA?
check at the new version, it has an alternative restore mode that you need to enable for it to work on the galaxy s
Another restore question
I installed Titanium backup on my Galaxy S Captivate yesterday, did a batch backup of "all user apps + System Data" in the list it showed the bloatware ATT apps which I wanted to uninstall but with the option of reinstalling them if I ever needed to bring the phone back to ATT.
I did a test uninstall of one of the market apps and then did a restore and it worked fine. Then I tried to un installed one of the ATT apps, which worked but when I tried to restore it by clicking on the crossed out app at the bottom of the list, there is no option to restore it, just delete.
Did I do something wrong with the backup or am I not restoring it properly? my test worked fine so I thought I had it figured out but obviously I am doing something wrong.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
Similar problem with no luck at reinstalling Att apps. I accidently deleted google talk and now cannot download new apps.
I have a similar question to the OP.
If I use the Master Clear or whatever is called to restore my phone to stock...that is supposed to delete the internal SD Card so, if I were to copy the Titanium Back Up folder to my PC then copy it back to the SD card after the clearing is done...would that be enough to restore all the games and apps?
I have titanium backup stored in sdcard, this backup is settings/wallpaper, is possible to extract from this file only wallpaper, without restoring all backup to the phone??
My news app/widget not working on MY HTC DHD even after several reboot/restart. So I decided to back up the apps and widget trough titanium backup and uninstall the app+widget. After reinstalling the apps/widget. the news app is working again but the widget, I cant find it in widget menus when I tried to add it to home screen.
Any help appreciated.
Thx

Also have a question about this program
It's restores my apps great. Very happy about it. But when you have installed ur apps back.
When I go to the android market they are not listed in my apps.
Though when i go and look for the app in the store it says installed. Yet can't check the allow automatic update checkbox.
Hope I make sense???
So I can't update it basically???Or when there is an update it will show up in my apps ???
My SD card was fried last night... everything gone. Good thing I backed up everything onto my laptop last week. Got a new SD card and copied everything over from the laptop. When I go into TB app, it doesnt show what I copied over. SHows I have no apps in memory... I made sure to copy everything into the "Titanium Backup" folder in my SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This happened to me as well. Go into the "more" option thru Titanium and select the Market Doctor. This should link your apps back up with the Market. Also, sometimes simply installing an app thru the Market and/or a reboot will get my installed apps to show up properly.
OK thanks. Will try it out.

Hope that worked, but just in case, there's another way. Once in Titanium, click backup/restore, and then scroll to your desired app. Long press the app and then click the option to "attach to market (forced)."
Market Doctor - Amazon Market
I installed a new ROM and restored my apps with TiBu. I was having some syncing problems in the Android Market so I ran Market Doctor. The problem is that I did not know to de-select the Amazon sourced apps so 47 of them got linked to the Android Market. I have since manually de-linked (long press) each of those apps solving most of the problem but they still show up in the Market list but under the 'Not Installed' section at the bottom. Is there a way to permanently break the link? I am concerned about having to deal with it in the future. Maybe re-run Market Doctor following the proper de-select process?
Hey guys,
it really seems that i'm the only one too stupid to solve this problem.
I have a Desire HD and bought the Atrix
So far no problem ->
I backuped all my apps + application data on the Desire HD ->
-> inserted the SD Card into my Atrix,
-> tried it both ways,
- set the titanium backup backup folder to SD-EXT
- and / or copied the SD-EXT Titanium Backup folder to the internal SD Card Memory, and used the default Titanium Backup settings,
-> in both ways, the applications are being restored but NO application data.
please can anyone help me with this?
I really go no idea, and i really need my app-data back, now trying for about 1 week...
any assistance / help is really appriciated,
thanks a lot guys,
cheers,
mike
When you restored/backed them, did you choose the restore/backup app+data option in titanium backup?
thanks for your reply
yes, i chose:
menu- batch - restore section - restore all applications and data.
i use titanium backup for years now and really dont know what the problem might be.
the desire HD runs a miui rom? can there be a problem?
thanks mike
Ps.: is it possible thatcher the busybox version causes such ne problem?
add: can anyone help me with this?
:=)
1. how do you do it?
2. Can Busybox be the origin of this problem
:=) thanks any comment appreciated
Me too
Im in the same boat buddy. I flash maybe 2 rom Bs a day and lose my SHADOWGUN data. Its a pain because I don't have wifi or high speed and I drive to Burger King to redownload my large files. Titanium Backup hasn't ever restored my data. What can I do??
Motorola atrix 4g with Tmobile
sim card and unlocked bootloader
Running wetdream 1.3.0
nice to hear :=( *sry* that i'm not alone..
so,
what i tried today:
- check if on both mobiles is the same version of busybox installed (check)
- deleted all old backups...
(i read something, that busybox just restores data if its from the same backup as the application... so maybe..)
- restored all apps on my new atrix ..
DIDN'T WORK - WTF
I dont have a clue, what's going on, i never had such problem either with android nor with titanium backup...
-> can someone -where this procedure works- please explain what he does... if there have been any problems, and how he /she managed to restore all settings...
please please please :=) give us some advice! :=)
that can't be it...
I'll also check the Titanium Backup Forum today, so maybe they can help us...
cheers,
:edit: TB Backup Developer contacted... no idea *thumbsUp* :=)
Well I don't really know but I'm just going to throw this out there in case you haven't tried it already.
Is TB being given su by superuser?
Are the apps being installed on external or internal? Have you tried changing the install options?
/mnt/sdcard/ or /mnt/sdcard_ext/
Have you tried previous versions on TB? Just in case.
so, today i really tested every setting
in titanium backup.... unfortunately without luck.
the only this i didn't tested yet, was to try previous version of TB.
thanks for your response and your advice,
maybe someone else knows.
today i also wrote another mail to the titanium backup support mail within the app.
maybe this problem is also related to the MIUI Rom i use on my old DHD.. :=(
thank you!
One more thing you might try.
This worked for me in a slightly different situation.
Install the program from scratch. Uninstall previous version if necessary.
Restore Data only from TB.
Good luck!
hey, at first thanks for the fast reply, second
, you mean, delete the app from my new phone,
-> re-install them from the market
-> restore app data from TB-Backup?
thanks, as soon as u confirm, ill test it.
all the best,
mike
addon: hey, just tested it with one single app. deleted it, reinstalled it from market, just restored data.
without luck unfortunately
Hey guys, to bring this post up again,.. i havent solved my problem so far..
Are you all using custom roms or are you 'also' using the stock rooted roms to restore old apps.
Please give me some system information ..
I dont want to lose my App data..
(((
Thanks
Any help appreciated ..
sent from my DHD using XDA Android App
[SOLVED]
SOLVED
SOLUTION: Flash Custom ROM -> afterwards restore apps ;=)
It really was the problem I thought of:
Motorola Atrix 4G "standard" ROM, calls
-> internal memory "SD-Card" and
-> External Memory "SD-Card-Ext" ...
it looks like this confuses TB which leads to my described problem.
Finally I flashed a CM7 rom, my SD-Card is called "sd-card" again, and my internal memory :=) ;D "internal" ;=),
and titanium backup restored all my apps incl. app-data without any problems.
I tried to contact TB-Devs, but no-one ever replied. its a pitty
hope this helps anyone :=)
all the best,
cheers

Out of curiousiy, did this new custom ROM have Titanium installed on it or you did this after flashing to the ROM.
I ask this as there is another bug when restoring backups from GB to ICS. usually it will fail to restore the app and data but if you go to menu / preferences and scroll down about half way to "app processing mode", it will normally default to auto direct. if you select interactive, it takes longer and you have to reinstall each app (vs batch) one by one but it will restore your app. you then restore it again but this time select data only and this time your app and data will be restored.
Dont know why, i just know it works.

can someone lend a hand. Ti backup shows only one application to backup/restore - setcpu. where did the other applications go to?
thank you in advance.
which version have u installed (rom) cheers
the rom is the stock gs2 sprint rom. additionally, when i go to the market many applications do not show up, especially the ones that i purchased. i have attempted to use various android market enablers, but to no avail. i would be extremely grateful for a fix.
eric
i would suggest
switch to another rom.
solved all my problems
all the beste
the point is that i don't want to change the rom, as the one that i am using is adequate. just would like to understand why/how this happened. if someone can lend a hand, i would greatly appreciate it.

TiBu has no problems restoring app data on my stock ROM
I am currently using Xperia Sola. I frequently flash custom ROMs. However, after installing a new custom ROM, I have to go through the process of installing apps all over again.Also, I would to preserve the settings and data for each of application (which gets lost everytime i reinstall the app). Is there anything which can install/restore a fixed set of apps along with their data(whatsapp,fb messenger,sms backup restore etc) directly in one go for a new ROM.
In case I haven't looked deep enough, please post links to threads which already discussed this.

I am facing one minor issue , not sure if it is because of Titanium Backup.
I use Facebook Messenger a lot, when I restored this , I dint get any notifications from this app , the app was even updated from Google Play Store but stil no notifications
So could it be because the app was not installed cleanly in first place and restored using Titanium Backup? Any one faced similiar issues while using this tool?

OK I was restoring this phone by reflashing it stock + rooting for my own reasons.
So I restored my +- 200 apps with titanium backup.
When I start my phone normally all apps would be visible (and on occasion they are and work fine)
The missing apps for as far as I know are located on SD-card Internally (not the real ext sd card) I think this is known as USB storage? (i used move to the sd card in titanium (but we know its not the real SD-card) Therefore remounting the EXT - sd card has 0 effect.
Anyway I dont know why these apps wont continue to show! I cant even find them anymore in application manager
what I do notice in application manager is Greyed out apps that say com.xxxxx.xxxxx and There are quite a few of them I believe these are the missing apps.
How can I restore these greyed out apps? (notice sometimes they are working fine!)
Thanks.
Delete them and restore with out data. Just the app. See if that helps.
Bump! dont know what is going on!
Go back to stock and restore apps with playstore. See if that helps
Delete them and restore with out data. Just the app. See if that helps.
I delete adobe flash player it was greyed out. Nothing changed? Restore with out data what u mean?
Go back to stock and restore apps with playstore. See if that helps
Some of these apps arent from playstore...I use blackmart too and modded google playstore. BUT this problem was before I installed this modded google play store so its not about that.
How would this help me?? I cant restore like 40 apps 1 for 1.. some have really weird name in storage too! hardly recognisable.
Same here mate but you can't restore apps and data with titanium bkup if you have used say 4.3 and you restore apps and data on 4.2.2 you will end up with problems. This is why I've said restore apps without data. Once restored reboot the phone and should be ok. That's what I do and have no problems
Ok guys here's my problem on KK with a sdcard mod I was able to use TB no problems. Yesterday I installed a rooted version of 5.02(lollipop) onto my device. Everything appears to work perfectly and root is fine.
Now originally I thought TB could read/write to the original TB location on external sdcard but my morning schedules failed. OK i thought and after some research I found a setting in the the setting backup location to allow lollipop compatibility.
But what I have found since is only data seems to be getting backed up no apk at all :/
pics attached show what i mean
pic 1 is what happened to an app I tried to backup in lollipop
pic 2 what the apps should look like taken in KK
pic 3 shows PSN app backed up in lollipop
pic 4 shows the backup of remote play taken in KK
Have I missed something in a setting or is lollipop screwing me around?
Any help would be grately appreciated, Ive been unable to find anything like this in google searches and I wanna get it ironed out before making anymore backups.
anyone?
Tried mount name space in SU settings but made no difference Still not sure whats screwing up.
To anyone using TB on lollipop I'm assuming you used the "create rooted firmware" method of installation. But may I ask how u used TB to restore and currently backup?
Did u use a Premade backup zip for reinstalling or standard batch method from app?
Have you tried to make a backup of a user app since reinstalling, does it backup correctly with market link etc?
Did you have to change any SU settings or TB settings for proper function?
From what I can gather TB can't find the installation path of the apk so doesn't back it up and loses the market links etc.
EDIT: I appear to of solved the problem by using sd card fix on platform xml instead of using document provider in setting up the storage folder.
Hello ? I've same problem but I'm still unable to solve. Could please share how exactly you sorted out the problem. Thanks in advance

On ti backup I changed the location where it found my backups (on SD) and used "Document Provider" since ti says it's recommended for devices 5.0 and up or something. After that you just have to select the root of your SD card (not ti backup folder) and then select the ti backup folder. I don't know why ti didn't do this by default since it knows what my android version is but now it works and I'm happy.
edit: btw I know it's an old thread but it was one of the first results on google so I'm replying here.
