Titanium backup won't restore - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When trying to restore the mobile hotspot app, titanium backup just spins endlessly
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA

setting - appl - manage appl - Titanium - clear data
then retry

No luck. I guess I'll try to find the original application somewhere and install it to the apps folder of my phone. Any ideas?

When I move a copy of the hotspot launcher with the other file to the app folder it wouldn't install. Any ideas?

Have you tried setting app processing mode to auto indirect in TB preferences?

Try restoring just the app first. If that works then restore data after.

I don't know if you've managed to fix this yet, but I had this problem and fixed it by enabling usb debugging in applications --> development
Hope it helps

How can I save app data through updating ROMs?

I want to have all my apps data ( like game saves, login info etc) saved when I flash a ROM update. It's a huge pain to manually re-setup EVERYTHING. Apps and contacts come back which is awesome but all the apps and settings are all back to square one..

I'm sure you could use root explorer to save the configuration files for these apps and reload them later with root explorer as well... but... you might create glitches or issues with the new rom... (aka it will end up being slow or have FC s)

Titanium Backup will save all of your app data and settings...once your apps are backed up, flash a new rom, download titanium from the market and use it to restore all of your apps with their data

Just so u know there is a FREE version of titanium backup on the Android market...
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You don't have to pay for titanium backup (though in my opinion you should support Android developers). The free version does it too (unless something has changed since I last used the free version). You just can't do it in a batch which is much easier.

+1 for Titanium Backup....and the paid version is WELL worth the money.
My bad. Thanks.

Saw this thread and downloaded the free version of titanium backup to try it out before buying the pro version. but when i try to backup my apps and user data with a scheduled backup, it fc's before finishing the backup. Will this happen with the pro version as well? or is there any way to fix it?

I've never had issues backing up or restoring apps with Titanium free or paid version. Are you using other apps while it's creating the backup? Personally, I don't do scheduled backups. I only backup just before flashing a new rom so that I know everything is current.

well with the free version you cant do a batch backup, so i ran a scheduled backup from the schedule screen. i reinstalled the app, and it seemed to run fine. thanks for the response though, much appreciated.

Yes you can. You can do batch back ups and batch restores. The only differences I've noticed between the free and paid versions are:
Free - Only schedule one back up at a time. When running a batch restore, it stops on every app and you must approve to restore them. Special services disabled
Paid - Schedule unlimited backups. Restoring a batch does not require approving each app. Special features, such as Market Doctor, are enabled.

^ Bro - If you have to click on every app to restore, one by one... that isn't really "batch" mode, by definition
Get the paid version, well worth it, and nice to support the dev of such a well made and valuable app.
I wouldnt be caught flashing/changing roms without it !
For ppl that have trouble with Titanium Backup, try My Backup Pro. It sometimes works when TTB will not.
It's still a batch restore selection. And it restores app data as well. Only it prompts you on every app and asks if you'd like to install it.But yes, I agree, the paid version is a must.

on the pro version there is a new feature to backup apps to a flashable zip file, which should make the whole restore process super fast. You can just flash a new rom then flash your apps with data back and not have to do manual restoring.
I haven't tried it yet though.

[Q] Cant see installed apps in market

After reinstalling apps from a backup/restore app they are working properly on the phone but dont show up under "my apps" in the market. Ive experienced this before with changing roms and was always able to fix via settings, manage apps, market, clear data. Now the clear data option isnt available. Anyone else experiencing this of have any solutions
I sure have, use titanium backup and long press the app on the list off apps and chose force link to market and you will be all set!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Actually an easier fix is, in titanium backup hit menu and choose more then market doctor, let me know if it works for you!

How can one use Titanium Backup? The phone isn't rooted yet. If there is a workaround, I'd love to know!

You can't titanium backup requires root, but you wouldn't really need to backup apps unless your flashing different roms which would require root

[Q] Hulu Plus App

I have tried looking around to find out how to get the hulu plus app on the nook color. Is there anyway to do this without adjusting the build.prop of the nook, or is that the only way to make it work? If that is the only way, can someone point me in the right direction to make that work or tell me any bad things that will occur by adjusting this.
Thanks.
Check rootzwiki forum. They have a version of thr hulu plus app that can be downloaded and restored using titanium backup . This version works on my nook color without editing the build.prop I think its in the thunderbolt forum.

Thanks, you reminded me of something, I remembered there was the app and titanium files on the inc2 area, got it working without adjusting a thing.

I was finally able to get it to work! Thanks for the info on the files in the inc2 area!

If you download the app and zip files from there, place the three individual zip files in titanium backup folder. If you already have hulu installed, clear data for the app first and then uninstall it and may need to reboot, I had to do so with the inc2. Install the apk given but do not open the hulu app yet. Restore titanium backup files and enjoy hulu plus

Thanks for posting this. Great help!
Thanks for the info guys.
Does this still work?
I have downloaded the files and use titanium to restore...
The app runs but gives me the "device not supported yet" banner.
I can use it to manage my account and all... but no play...
anyone?

[Q] MAPServiceSamsung

What the heck is this, and how do we disable it
its listed as com.samsung.map and I don't see where its located so I can disable it, Google Maps is always running its location service so I'm not sure we need this other one.
Have any of you found and disabled this with no ill effects?
This might be only ICS related, I don't remember this on GB

App data

Hey, im looking for a way to backup JUST my apk's and there app data so i dont lose settings or game progress. i plan on doing a clean flash tomorrow

i see a few spots where the apps apk's are at but dont know which one is the correct one
Thanks for anyone who can help :good:

I think I'd use titanium backup it's easy to restore only the app data. But I know Carbon works to do what you need also.
Thanks I'll look at them both :thumbup:

Have a look at AppMonster. I use AppMonster Pro and love it. And you can set it to back up apps as soon as you download them. I don't think it does the app data though, but just for apps I find it a lot easier on the eyes than Titanium. I use both so depending on what I need I know I'm covered.
Looked at all of them and carbon seems to be the best for my use :thumbup:
