I've installed Pkmn ROM, which kept my apps (and did that "updating apps" thing on first boot). But when I install any other roms, they don't keep my apps. Is this because they're on my 2nd, external SD? Also, found that I can't install Titanium Backup on Meanrom to restore my apps. So I have to go back to Pkmn until I sort this...
When you flash a new ROM, you should be wiping your phone, and thus wiping out the apps that you've installed. You'll have to use an app like Titanium Backup to restore them, or redownload them from the Play Store.
Yep, sounds like you arent wiping. This is also going to be the root of your problems for MEANROM
That's the problem. After wiping and installing a new ROM, I am unable to get my apps form the store, there's only like 5 of them listed. And then, as I said in my previous post, Meanrom won't allow me to install Titanium Backup so that I can restore my apps. When I run Titanium Backup under Meanrom, it says something about installing busybox, *which I did*, and won't run after that.
I have definitely been wiping, as in the Meanrom instructional video here, Cache/Dalvik/Factory Reset.
New Problem!!! I just ran Titanium Backup under Meanrom and it says that my Root access is gone! What?! I rooted and did Lazy Panda like a month ago. Everything had been working perfectly, and after I installed Meanrom, it appears that I've lost root. What's happened?! (No, I did not take an OTA, at least not knowingly)
update: TB now says "Busybox works but the Su command doesn't elevate to root, somethings wrong with your su binary and or superuser app...
update again: reinstalled su and reinstalled busybox, now all appears fine with Titanium Backup. Still don't know what's breaking Su and Busybox though.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if Titanium is already installed & working, why would I want to install it in Recovery mode? I read changelog 3.2.9.2 but it's not completely clear to me. Is it so that after flashing a ROM I can install TB in Recovery, so that when I reboot, everything is fully restored, without having to reinstall TB from the Market? And, if so, is that what actually happens, or is it just for convenience sake?
+1 and amen...
I thought the update.zip contains all the apps and data, so it would be easier to install via the recovery.
First off, I have to say that this is an awesome rom. But as soon as I flashed it, The market no longer remembered my downloads. How do i properly use Titanium back up and so forth? is there a step-by-step guide on using stuff and how does cwr work when you flash a recovery.
Not sure how you use TB, but if you flash a backup, it was like you never left. So you should be able to restore the backup and then backup your apps.
I believe you just go into TB and save just your downloaded apps.
Hi,
I installed this custom stock rom on my TF300 and it's fantastic.
[ROM] ASUS ICS HYDRO 4.4-(8/10)-TF300/TF300tg-Super Fast!! MANY TRY BUT NON COMPARE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750861
It's rooted with busybox and SU permissions and works fine in most apps that require root. The only issue is that Titanium Backup uses it's own inbuilt version of busybox and states I don't have root.
Can I do anything about this rather apart from download an alternative backup app? Titanium is great and also gets rid of bloatware but is useless unless I can trick it into using external busybox SU permissions.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could try installing the version of busybox that TB prompts you to install when it says it can't find busybox. Alternately you could try installing a different version of busybox altogether. If those don't work I would recommend you try My Backup Root or the paid version My Backup Pro. My only word of caution with My Backup (Not sure they fixed it since the last time I used it) is that when it went to restore my music playlists it messed them up. So if that's something that is important to you then I would look into a different app for backing up music playlists.
I have a Verizon LG G3. I took the OTA update to 5.0.1 (VS98523C), rooted my phone and installed Titanium Backup, made a backup, and then proceeded to delete system apps. I'm getting error messages about weather apps so I want to restore them but can't because apparently TB needs to download them from the store. I installed TWRP so I could restore from Nandroid backups.
Is there a place I can download TWRP backups? I've seen threads on how to restore to stock but I don't want to lose root, I just want to restore the device to stock-but-just-rooted. It was such a huge pain in the neck for me to root that I don't want to lose root and re-root if I don't have to. It seems like someone would have uploaded backups but I've been searching for a while and all the search results just seem to point to how I can install TWRP.
LG g3 one click root is fast and simple if you need root. If you uninstall system apps make sure to reboot after or you'll get errors with the app trying to load. I don't think you can just grab someone else's backup. It would probably work but I doubt anyone wants to share all of their data with everyone.

You needed to have made the backups.
You can install one of the clean ROMs that is basically the OTA, like Jasmine.
Nandroid backups come from you making a backup of your system.
Thanks, I just installed Jasmine and (so far) it's working great. It fixed my problems AND now I can use all my apps in dual window mode!!! This is better than stock!
P.S. I did a nandroid backup right after installing Jasmine
Hi All,
I'm running the latest AICP 13.1 nightly on my Moto G4, rooted with SuperSU. My issue is that Titanium Backup throws an error when launching showing: "Sorry I could not acquire root privileges... This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/.ext/.su" command""
Starting a terminal and switching to root prompts SuperSU to ask to grant permissions and is successful. Same with busybox or the official TWRP app.
I've done a lot of digging and I'm at a bit of a loss. The only thing that seems somewhat odd is that busybox, SuperSU, and the Official TWRP App are all installed on the internal storage while Titanium Backup installed to the SD card. Moving Titanium Backup to the internal storage doesn't change the results though. The choice of where to install the apps wasn't made by me so I'm not sure what decides that.
Does anyone have any idea what I might try to get Titanium to work?
TIA!
The next daily of AICP seems to have fixed the issue, so I'm not sure what the root cause was.
