I am using Ultimate backup I like the interface much better then titanium backup.
Anyways I freezed some apps to test then I unfreeze, I mean it says that its worked It definatley does freeze them thats forsure. But the problem is when i go to unfreeze them it says its unfrozen but the app does not appear in the app drawer again and when I go to ultimate backup and try launch from there it says it cannot be launched so then I restart my phone and i go back into ultimate launcher and it shows the apps as being frozen again what the hell!!
can I get some help here please
Never used that never seen any users reporting it on XDA .
Suggest contact the developer .

When I installed (Root uninstaler) I had the same problem when freezing and unfreezing, They are all the same concept as titanium backup.
something has to be wrong with my phone setup
the frozen apps are the same format as all the other backup apps. Titanium, root uninstaller, ultimate backup.
I have just installed Titanium and it picks up the apps as being frozen and gives me the option to defrost and when I click it , it says its been defrosted ad is ready to use. But then I go to view it again and it still shows as frozen arghhH!!!
ok so i found a fix apparently there is something coded into the firmware that doesnt allow unfreezing but an app called app quarantine patches something and then asks to reboot , after reboot your apps are restored.
run the app and all frozen apps appear in quarantine list you can unfreeze them there then reboot
is there a permanent fix so that u dont need app quarantine because this process has to be repeated each time you try to unfreeze
I haven't been able to defrost with Titanium or Root Installer on the S3 at all, no idea why, I'm afraid. As far as I know the only way to restore is a wipe.
read my last post fully, you will see the fix
Good find, thanks!

I've just rooted my Galaxy S2, and made a backup of all my system apps using Titanium Backup. The backup was all good and succesful, but when trying to restore a system app from backup, it just hangs on the restore dialog...going nowhere, forcing me to shutdown Titanium Backup forcefully. The very same thing is happening when trying to freeze/unfreeze apps, it just hangs...
Restoring a user app from backup works just fine though.
And yep, I have enabled USB-debugging.
Has anyone experienced the same?
Hopefully someone can cheer me up with a remedy to this problem

I already have the latest version available on Android Market.
I was thinking, what about readonly / write access to the system apps, do I need to somehow make the system space writable?
Have you switched usb debugging on?
And this thread is in the wrong place. Maybe in Q and A or in Themes and apps would be better.
Oh wait, I just reflashed with a full generic ROM, and now it seems to work, no more hanging on freeze or restore.
Perhaps Titanium Backup was released with a Samsung fix during that time? Anyways...it works now

Titanium backup deleting system files
I have somewhat of a similar problem. Whenever I want to turn a system app, into a user app, titbkup pro says it's processing, and that's it! It does that, until I have to forceclose it! It deletes the app(except the backups). I choose what I can delete very carefully, read up through various wiki"s to see if what I'm changing will have consequences. Titbkup used to do what I wanted, but just deletes my system files, instead of converting them. I have it on auto/indirect, phones rooted, superuser allows, and it's the pro version. I want to change my golauncher, into a user app again, split it up a little to take certain files to sd, and leave other files in system. I have a very low memory phone, and need all the space on in internal memory I can get.
I have no problem changing a user app into a system app, but it doesn't work in reverse, everything about the app works, except that. Can i use root explorer?
"Whenever I want to turn a system app".....is this terribly required in SGS2?
"I have a very low memory phone" ........what phone do you have, not the I9100?
this is a I9100 phone thread....
I have an SGSII, rooted with Odin/CWM 4 and I cannot restore any system apps using Titanium Backup - it simply sits there saying 'Restoring App' and nothing happens. Normal apps can be restored OK. I tried changing the app processing mode in TB to Auto/Indirect but it didn't help.
Any ideas? I have TB Pro FWIW.
Can't you just restore systemdata? I assume the apps are there already.
ps you know the downside of restoring system apps?
I backed up and then uninstalled some system apps using TB Pro (TpLauncher, AccuWeather, etc.) but now I'd like to get some of them back. I assumed using the TB restore option was the way to go.
What's the downside of doing this? Can I restore these manually?
Same happened to me, I guess lesson is don't uninstall sys app unless you really don't want them.
Glad it's not just me and I have a nandroid so I can get everything back but it's annoying. I've reported it to the TB devs. If they come up with a solution I'll let you know.
I use root explorer backup the system apk, restore it when need it back.
what i do, is close titanium application then restart it again. then viola.
seems strange ... TB Pro always do the job for me
FWIW these were apps I first freezed, then uninstalled (without unfreezing). I wonder if this is relevant. Perhaps the permissions are screwed or something. If I could get a TB log I could find out. Hopefully the developers will help out.
Bump. Any updates on this? I'm having the same problem
Here is my reply from Titanium Backup support:
"We're sorry, system apps are critical and should not be removed in the first place. Some apps are tightly ROM bounded, while others are dependent on other system entities which could break things when they are removed. We have already provided the warning in the preferences that you will be held responsible of your own actions upon removing the system apps and we will not provide support for restoring them back. In most cases like this, you will have to reflash your ROM or restore your nandroid backup (you must always keep a nandroid handy)."
So in other words - tough sh*t! Not what I was expecting.
I restored my Nandroid and now only freeze apps, and they seem to defrost OK but after that reply I'm wondering if I should continue to use their product.

In fairness they are right, anyone who uninstalls system apps is asking for trouble why would you want to do that in the first place,you can simply freeze any apps you don't use instead, i have most of the Samsung bloatware frozen in Titanium as i don't use them and many of them are responsible for excessive battery drainage.
BTW Titanium Backup is probably the best overall app in the whole market and they always release updates, i highly recommend this app to anyone who doesn't already have it.
As a software developer myself if one of my apps didn't work correctly and a customer asked for help I would do my level best to get to the bottom of the issue instead of fobbing them off.
The app lets you uninstall system apps and restore them again - why would you want to? because on some devices space might be at a premium - I freed up 100MB on my previous device (Xperia Arc S) using this feature for example - which made a big difference.
Luckily I don't need the space on my SII but I'm surprised that the TB devs wouldn't want to find out what the issue is.

They know what the issue is. The outcome of removing an restoring system apps is just unpredictable. They gave a warning that it could cause unwanted results. Messing with roms gives unpredicted results.
Same thing happened to my Galaxy Pocket. I uninstalled system apps and can't restore them.
THE solution is wen u want to uninstall an system app den first of all make an back up of DATA of that system app and den go 2 loaction of app through root explorer in internal storage and copy that APK file to ur sd card as backup .
den delete the APK file mannualy or uninstall using titanium backup...
wen u want dat app again den copy the APK to its original old location of system /app and restore the data using titanium backup and just restart the phone..
hope it helps ...
Yes, I can restore system data

To be more thorough:
I am able to restore system data of an app but I can't restore an app.
In fact, if I locate the apk which titanium backup had backed up with a file browser and install it manually, it works fine! I can then restore data with titanium backup.
Issue on my Galaxy SII (no matter what ROM I use)
You shouldn't be restoring system apps at all/you shouldn't need to (the data may be another question though). Why are you wanting to restore system apps/which apps in particular ?
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.
I have granted root access with Magisk, and I'm using the paid PRO version of Titanium Backup. The app can freeze/unfreeze apps fine, and it (seems to) backup apps fine. But, whenever I try to restore an uninstalled app, it says "Restoring App+Data" and never progresses further. I have to force close the app. What should I do?
I also have this problem.
Someone said that UNchecking the developer options: "[ ] Verify apps over USB" worked to fix this.
