Problem after restoring app+data using Titanium Backup - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just switch ROM from 4.2.2 to 4.3.1. I backup all my apps and its data using Titanium backup. After I finished the installation of new ROM + restoring apps and data on my phone using titanium backup, some of my apps shows an error after I closed it that "Unfortunately, (APPS) has stopped".
This happen sometimes when I closed a game just like Candy Crush and Zombie Tsunami.
Is there a solution on this?

Clear the data if these apps and then check. And i must recommend GoBackup to bakcup your apps it works perfect without giving any prob like titanium. But it's my choice you can choose what you like.

The similar case's is coming from different user's too. Most of the app's isn't just working when upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.3.1, they get crashed or simply stop working.
So just try something app's beside titanium backup, just give it a shot. Take all data of apps on your storage. And then copy it somewhere safe so that you can use it again. Then clear everything and try to use the data.
If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask. Best of luck :good:

Thanks for the help guys. It just happen on some of my apps specially on games. I will give it a try once I get irritated on this error.

this problem is because you backed up in 4.2.2 and restored in 4.3 using titanium backup due to conflicts in different versions
Hopefully it should be solved after updating those apps
Also i would recommend other backup methods than titanium backup for batch restore

TiBu isn't the problem.....it's the app data itself combined with the fact that you're trying to restore that data onto a different version of android than it was created on.
This is known to cause issues no matter how the data backup was created........

I always encountered this problem after I played Candy Crush. Once I closed Candy Crush, it shows this error unlike on the other game app like Zombie Tsunami. I tried to reinstall this CCS game but no luck same error. If I have time I will tried to backup again my app + data on a 4.3.1 version and see.
Thanks for the help mates.

Cannot restore system apps using Titanium Backup

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 ?

problems

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!

Get ready for ICS update and not lose any user data

Im concerned about the upcoming update: Im using MIUI rom and i will swap to MIUI v4 (iCS) as soon as it comes out... but im tired of losing my user data between every rom swap...
I know Titanium Backup should be the way to do this... so, is it safe to backup all the apps and the apps' data and then restore it on ICS? even when the backup was made in a GB rom?
Any alternative way of doing so? What do you usually do / recommend to do?
Thanks!
You can back up and restore the apps no problem, though I would be careful restoring user data. What I do is restore all apps and use sms backup/restore for my texts and Google takes care of my contacts.

Well, I don't really think it should matter if the backup was done in GB and restored in ICS. One thing could happen, is that you may have been using an application that isn't yet compatible with ICS. Other than that, I don't really see why there should be a problem.
Have a good day.
The biggest problem is for the apps settings and games progress and so... with titanium backup, i should backup user apps + data and then restore it in ICS?

To be a 100% sure put the TB folder on your pc and on an external card.
I tried restoring TiBu apps backed up on GB when I flashed an LPQ ROM and TiBu hanged on some of the restores. I had to restart each time it hung on a restore. I tried using batch restore, and restoring individually, both ways it happened on different apps and the same app. It was weird because my SMS logs restored no problem but some of my apps could not. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup so I quickly went back to my daily driver.
Titanium backup likes a phone reboot after first install .
Install open reboot phone less likely to freeze or hang on backup .
jje
i also had over 200 applications, out of which some randomly failed to install on CM9. After failure of restore, i again have to start restoring process in titanium backup from start leaving that applicatoin. Luckily, I dint find any problem in restoring to PURE ICS rom, it just resotred everything like a charm. Some applicatoin (like smartstats) were crashing after restore. I just wiped the data () and then it worked.

Apps crashing after restore

Hi - tried searching for this particular issue but no luck. I sent my i9100 away for repair but prior to that it was rooted. I didn't flash to any fancy firmware though - i just kept the stock one. I backed up my apps using titanium backup.
I have performed a restore of my apps using titanium backup but some apps like boat browser, dropbox, google+ etc force close repeatedly immediately after opening. I had the same firmware as before so I can't see what the problem could be?
Did you restore app data ? If you did, that is probably the reason. Don't do it for those/any apps you're having problems with. If you restored apps only, I'd do a clean install of these apps from Google Play rather than restoring them.

thanks for the reply. I'll do the clean install from google play.
Out of curiousity - why would the data cause these crashes?
I *think* (not absolutely positively certain) it's got something to do with the restore putting the data back into a different place to what the firmware is expecting/the 'symbolic' links to the data being messed up. So basically when you open the app & it goes to use the restored data, the system processes needed go 'nope' & you get a FC.
Not exactly a technical answer, I know But that's my rudimentary understanding of it. There are posts on here which explain it technically in more detail if you're interested enough to do a Google search to find them (I'm not, they are hard to find ).
I always do clean installs when I'm flashing a new rom or a new major version/revision of a rom & rarely have problems.

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.
