I cannot seem to completely restore the DLNA app from either the GingerBlur or Greyblur bloatware restore files. I am currently running GreyBlur. I used Moto A4 Bootstrap Recovery to install the bloatware zip from my internal SD and the DLNA icon appears in the app drawer, but the application doesn't start when I click the icon. The app is listed in the Manage Applications utility; however, all of the buttons are grayed out and I cannot uninstall. No file smdl2tmp1.asec is in the .android-secure folder on the sd card when veiwed on my computer. I have rebooted several times and reran the restore bloatware zip several times as well with no luck.
Any ideas? Or is there better way I can use DLNA with my phone?
BTW, I've found thatI have the same problem installing other apks as well, not just the bloatware. However, I can install market apps and I get # after su in terminal emulator.
i rooted my phone with z4root and installed titanium backup and wanted to uninstall some bloatware and when i tried to the phone restarted as it should but the apps were still there. why aren't they being removed?
Try uninstalling the apps again or re-installing titanium backup from market.
OR
Use rootexplorer to manually remove them from /system/app/ folder ( don't forget to remove the corresponding .odex files )
one more think happened when it didn't delete the app. the phone reset and everything on my phone disappeared. it was like i just took it out of the packaging when i bought it. would anyone know why that happened?
Confirm that you have busybox installed on your phone.lack of it could cause problems with titanium backup.
Though I am not sure that this its the problem in your case.
Use root checker to confirm
I been trying to figure something out without any luck... hope someone can help...
When we use titanium backup to restore apps , then why arnt they shown in the android market...?? Like when you go to my apps all those restored apps arnt there and you can't update them... individually if you go to the apps it shows them installed and gives the option toupdate update but if you try to do so it gives an error...
Is that normal... or ia there any way around this...?? I had an issue like this with my SGS and now am using a Moto Atrix with the same thing... thought its about time I ask...

After restoring apps I always reboot and I clear Market application's Data & Cache.
My apps always show up in the market app after those steps.
Try this.open titaniun then go into backups and then menu (on your phone) choose 'more' and select market doctor.it replaces market links with reinstalled apps.

TIBU wont restore system apps
hi, TIBU wont restore apps,
I did a full system + app backup, then I transferred the contents of that backup folder from my sd card to my macbook, I then deleted the backup from my sd card, leaving just the empty TIBU folder on the sd card.
I then proceeded to un-install some bloatware like twitter, weather, facebook, HTC Hub etc, (thinking I was safe because I had a full backup on my mac that I could transfer back into the empty TIBU folder on my sd card and re-install).
so, I transferred the full system + app backup, from my macbook, back into the empty TIBU folder on my sd card and turned on TIBU on my phone.
TIBU CAN SEE the un-installed apps, they are gray font with a gray line through them, also they have an orange smiley face next to them, when I click on them, they give me the option to restore, so, I click restore and a gray box appears with a circle inside showing me its doing something, this would stay like this for hrs if I let it, it does not restore and I have to reboot my phone to make it stop.
I thought my transferring of the data from sd card to macbook and back might have corrupted something so I experimented: not leaving TIBU I made a backup of calculator as this was a system app in red font, I then uninstalled it (same gray font + line), then immediately tried to restore it again, NOTHING, just the same problem as above. what is the point of TIBU if it won't restore system apps, I've searched the web for a solution to this gray font and line problem. for such a big app I'm surprised theirs not more info on this, I'm at a dead end, some of the apps I un-installed are not in the market. I have not installed a new rom after root, all i did was download go launcher and changed a theme, sorry for the long sermon, i just wanted to explain fully, is there no way to get these apps back on my phone, there just sitting on my macbook in zip files,,,,,,thank you

It is never advised to back up or restore system apps as it can cause huge issues or not install as there are extra files need to run the system apps that don't get backed up or need other system apps to run. The point to TIBU is for backup up user apps not system apps.

I believe that the free version only backs up system data, not the actual apk file. So you can restore the data (if the app is installed), but you cannot restore the app itself. I could be wrong about this though, I paid for the pro version before the feature to back up system apk files was added. Before that, even the paid version could only restore system data but not apps.
If you're wanting to remove the apps to restore later, you can either pay for the full version and freeze them (or back them up), or you can use a root level file explorer (I suggest Root Explorer, but there's a free one in the Android Apps & Games section) to copy the apk to your SD card and then uninstall via Titanium Backup. When you want to reinstall, you'll have to move the apk back to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--.
If you have the Pro version of Titanium Backup, or if that feature is available in the free version, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You can also try an older version of TB, they're available on the developer's website.
If neither of those help your problem, it could be an issue with your SD card. Try backing up the contents and formatting the card. It's best to format through your recovery or from the phone itself, but you can do it from your computer - just be sure to format to FAT32. The developer is very helpful, try contacting him if you still can't solve the problem.
It is not recommended to restore system apps or data across roms, but you should be fine if it's on the same rom (or possibly a variation/update of the same rom).
Good luck, hope you get it fixed!

Used Titanium Back apps for several months. Had no system problems. Needed a bit more internal memory free and decided to uninstall the stock gingerbread music app ( which i backup and then I uninstalled it) because I use other music players and it has been listed as being safe to remove w/o system probs.
Samsung galaxy y
Stock 2.3.6 Froyo ROM
Before doing anymore uninstalls I wanted to see if i could restore this. Titanium Backup Pro just hangs indefinitely when trying to restore the stock music.apk app. Have to kill it. Using Root Explorer and ES File Manager, I am able to see the app in the system/app folder after doing this but it does not show in the app drawer.
What I've Tried:
1. Contacted Titanium Support. Great guys and very helpful. Cannot stress this enough and the app is awesome. They suggested taking the apk from the backup files and moving it using adb.
Result: Moved the file but would not show up in app drawer.
2. Found the stock music.apk in system/app folder using Root Explorer
Result: Tried rebooting. Did not work. Tried factory reset from Privacy Menu. Still not in app drawer.
please help guys!!!!!!!!!!!! how to fix this????
Have you tried clearing the data for Music app? When I've restored apps with Titanium, sometimes the data is corrupted or something and I have to clear the data.
You can always try uninstalling it and pushing a new music program with adb.
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

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
