There is an issue on the S4 with restoring backed-up apps with Titanium Backup (TB).
This occurs when using SafeStrap (SS) and/or HyperDrive ROM (I'm not sure which is the actual source of the problem).
When an app is restored from backup, it force closes as soon as it is launched. I even tried to install the App directly from Google Play and then restore ONLY Data using TB. The force close still occurred.
There have been reports that this only occurs when restoring backups into a SS slot, and not when restoring to the main system (i.e. not to a slot).
I've tried to use the "TB Restore Fixer" app after restoring, and this did not fix the problem.
Has anyone found a solution or work-around for this issue?
Is there another way to backup Apps or at least Data and restore them in a batch process (e.g. after flashing a new or upgraded ROM)?
Thank you so much to anyone who can help!!
My Configuration:
I currently have SS 3.70 installed. Hyperdrive RLS14 is installed in slot 1. I have of course also flashed the proper kernel module (I'm on MK2).

Well I'm not Sure this will fix what you're going through but when I was on ss and doing what you're doing I had the same problems.
I ended up clearing all caches/data on my apps before restoring from tibu and that worked for me. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks, Mistertac. I tried to clear cache & data before restoring from TB, and I still get the force close. Do you remember what build you had (e.g. MDK, etc) and what versions if SS and HD you were using?

Before running "TB Restore Fixer" did you download a copy of restorecon and copy that into your /system/bin directory?
I was having the FC with hyperdrive when restoring app+data or just data from TB, and this fixed worked for me.

Thanks for the tip!!! I hadn't heard of restorecon before.
For anyone else with this problem, you can download restorecon from this xda post.
Make sure to copy the file to /system/bin and set permissions to 755 (rwx r-x r-x).
It's a shame that TB Restore Fixer doesn't install file this for you, and it's even worse that it doesn't complain at all if restorecon isn't even present on the system. The app says "Fix Successful" whether or not restorecon is present, which is pretty terrible considering that all the app does is run it.
In fact, you don't even need TB Restore Fixer. You can just run the following command from terminal emulator (or write a script to do it).
restorecon -R -v /data/data
That's all TB Restore Fixer does anyway.
I can confirm that this fixes the problem with restoring Data using TB.
Thanks again to 66gt350 for telling me about restorecon!!
I had the same problem and emailed Tibu support and they told me about the restorecon file missing. Don't know why it's not included but the said they had contacted SBreen about it. It is a Hyper Drive issue and not an S4 or TW issue.

So I upgraded my ROM from das bamf 1.6.3 to 1.8, and backup all my apps using Titanium backup. Well when I restore my apps, they all force close. If I restore just the app and no data, it works. But when I restore the data they start force closing. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
hmm...I've never heard of this happening before as long as I've used it. You are only restoring data for User apps right? Restoring system app data can cause FC's but I've never heard of it happening to user apps unless the data is corrupt.
You may want to make a nandroid, then load your backup of 1.6.3 and force redo all your backups then load load your 1.8 backup again and restore.
The only other thing I can think of is that TiBu is not setup the same as in the other installation. When you were on 1.6.3, did you select "Auto-sync TB settings" from the preferences menu so that they carry over? Also, TiBu is installed to the same place as before right (/system/app vs /data/app)?
I did not have auto sync setup. I did a batch backup of user apps before flashing my ROM. I tried individually restoring the user apps vs doing batch as well. I am not sure if titanium backup is installed in the same place. If I uninstall titanium backup, will I lose my backups? I might uninstall and reinstall titanium backup from the market

did you make a clockwork backup before going to the new rom version? if so then re flash 1.8 and then go into recovery and select advanced restore and then do data only from your 1.6.3. that should restore all your apps exactly as they were in 1.6.3 and totally bypass titanium so you could at least scratch that off the list if it doesnt work...

No, you won't lose your backups. They are in the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard which remains there regardless of whether TiBu is installed or not.

Not a great idea since that would restore all system data too.
If it's the same rom, that would be fine but it's likely to cause problems with upgrades (not always but usually).

That's what's causing your problem then. I've noticed that data backups made with a /data/app installed TiBu have problems being restored from a /system/app version. That's why I initially asked if it was installed to the same place on both installations.
Manually remove the apk from /system/app using a file explorer or terminal (and pm uninstall it if you wish) then install from Market. Then you should be able to restore you backed up data.
If you want to know how to manually uninstall something (other than just deleting the apk using a file manager) check here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

Like I said, if your previous backups were made with a version of TiBu that you installed from the Market then you need to install it from Market again to restore that data.
So, get a file explorer that performs root operations and delete TitaniumBackup.apk from /system/app.
Or in terminal type:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -f /system/app/TitaniumBackup.apk
reboot
You may have to verify that is what the apk is named.
Anyway, after that, install TiBu from the Market, open it, and restore whatever apps and user data you want.
Thanks for all the help so far absolute_zero. I am having an issue where when I try the mount line, I get a message telling me the flags to use for mount. I am not that Linux savvy, but I am guessing it thinks I have an inappropriate flag set up or something. Any ideas?
I use titanium backup all the time. I flash roms probably every three or four days if you average it out.
One thing I had problems with once before was using titanium backup that was installed with the ROM. Ive done it both ways, restored my titanium pro using the regular titanium in the ROM, and just downloading and reinstalling the pro version from the market. Once I got my normal pro version installed it went like butter. I sync to Google, let the market install as many apps as possible and manually install a few important ones, then filter to user and "backed up". Once I have that list I batch restore missing apps and all app data.

The ROM that I use on my phone pretty much discourages dirty flashing updates [CM10.1 based]. So for the last 10 or so updates, I have clean wiped my HTC Rezound, then restored from a TitaniumBackup.
Except I do it a little different than most people, I think.
First I disabled compression of backups.
Then to restore I go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
and run a bash command:
# for i in *.apk; do pm install "$i"; done
Then I go to TitaniumBackup, and every app is installed but doesn't have my data. So then I batch restore my data for my apps [Pretty much only user apps, except a few system things like SMS, WiFi networks]. But the problem is, recently, TitaniumBackup will quit halfway through a batch restore of "Data only." So I've been manually restoring data 1 by 1 for the apps that I need data to be saved across rom updates.
But then I thought, "Hey, why can't I just backup my /data/data/ folder?" but then I also thought that would probably be like a dirty flash, and I am just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this subject.
Thanks.

VERY EAGER to learn this as a flash-a-holic.
sigh well I tried restoring the /data/data/ folder from a tar backup, and the apps didn't have my data. [Both my launcher and 1 random game did not have my data, even after rebooting.]
Then I went to install TitaniumBackup from Play to restore my apps the way I do it usually, and then it had an error. It wouldn't install. So I tried wiping data in recovery, and then the setup wizard kept crashing after I completed it. It wouldn't let me launch anything, even Settings would crash.
So now I'm starting all over again. Currently doing a clean flash in recovery. Ugh.
I think the problem might be file permissions.

Restoring those setting from system apps will lead to issues. This is due to the way those settings are restored when changes are made to the programs for those settings.

This might be a noob question...
Hyperdrive has a new update and based on what I've read I would have to wipe the phone and flash the update on the phone.
Is there something that I can do to save or reinstall the apps I have after I flash the new update? Instead of going and installing each app individually again?
Thanks,

Titanium backup with save all of your apps and their settings.
Once you install the new ROM than you just restore all the missing apps and its data.

couple things, if you have playstore apps, you can set that up to reinstall all the apps fresh and use tibu to restore data. Many issues happen when you try to restore everything thru tibu or any other backup programs.
In 4 years of flashing roms, I have never encountered any issues when installing roms or upgrading roms when I install apps fresh and use tibu to restore some of the data. I dont like chasing problems which take a lot more time.

+1 This is by far the best method. Even just trying to batch restore through TiBu sucks because it takes almost as much time as going through all the prompts on the installs. You can tell google which apps you use on a device, and then re-download them through the play store without having to deal with the install prompts. Then after that, you can just restore the data like decaturbob said, and then I'd suggest a reboot so all the apps fully close and re-open. Most important one for backup for me is Tasker as I've spent countless hours setting up all my triggers and profiles.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro. Once you get it root access there are no prompts to go through as mentioned about the TiBu... just select whatever apps you want to install from your backups and then choose restore app or restore app & data. I try not to restore the data because is usually does cause at least one issue.

Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.

ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.

just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
Please can someone confirm I'm not the only one that is experiencing titanium backup restore issues..... Meaning not restoring anything, whether it's batch or individually.
This makes new rom flashing an absolute nightmare.
Now I am aware of the recent security updates by google where all apps require to be verified when being installed. A work around is disabling app verify and disabling internet connection. But this does not work for me. Now the only easy way (not so easy) is find all apps missing via titanium backup then selecting the view in market button, download and install the Play store way, then do a batch install of data only.
Anyone care to chime in?

I just flashed RR just to see. And I thought I was in the clear when 2 apps restored a no problem when selected manually. But that was short lived having still problems during batch restore. It's seems to be only certain apps not installing and then causes it to freeze. It's then a force stop of TB and start again, but it's just as quick to do it manually.
Have you tried backing up all apps then restoring them so no data is lost and test to see. Because if you go to update your rom etc. TB is a nightmare.

I know I restored all my apps with TiBu when I made the switch from RR M to RR N last June and everything restored just fine. I've updated my rom countless times since then but I'm pretty sure I only made dirty flashes, meaning my apps didn't have to get restored.
When I tested it with those 2 apps yesterday it was a batch restore too ... but just to make sure I just backed up and batch restored 6 more apps without any issues. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference if I tried again with 16 or 60 apps, on MY phone it works. I don't know why you're having problems, but it works fine here
So I did some more trial and error with good success.
Now I know of all the issues with using an external card as a backup location for titanium. So I have already tried to move my old backups from the external card to the internal sdcard where titaniums default location is, but I had the same results.
So just as an other test I decided to remove all my old backups and start fresh so to speak. I kept the backup location at its default when titanium is newly installed which is on the sdcard and done a full backup.
Backup worked as expected, so I then decided to batch restore some apps and to my surprise they all restored as one would normally expect.
So I suspected there was some kind of corruption to my old backups so I had to test. I moved all my old backup into the new working location.
Titanium showed all the old backups and guess what.... They all restored without issues.
So my guessing is it needs to backup at least once to its folder after a new install before it can use it correctly.
But on my previous tests before doing the above it did backup some old apps from its default location on the sdcard.
Weird and makes no sense..... To me anyway.

I'm inferring from some posts here that there may be problems with restoring TB backups stored on an external SD card. Here is some advice from Titanium Track, copied and pasted from item #31 on their Troubleshooting page:
31. External SD Card problems...
There is an elegant way of giving TitaniumBackup write access to the external sdcard, without having to forfeit security.... Since the time of Android 4.3, Google uses a very clean security-solution by giving apps that request write access to external SD, permission only to their own folder – not to the entire card! In order to get TitaniumBackup to work without compromising security, you can simply create a folder on the external sdcard, using the following folder-structure: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish.
I followed this GUIDE back in Marshmallow days and have never had any issues since then - had a friend do it yesterday and now it works for him too. Maybe try that

My problem has never been with writing to the external SD card (although it was some time ago)
This is definitely a TB issue. It can't seem to restore most of my apps that are not already installed. As soon as you install the app manually TB works perfectly.
My solution which I have just done today is backup via TB on old rom but also backup with super backup.
Then flash new rom, use Super Backup to install all the apps (works like TB used to, but does not seem to restore data) then use TB to restore all data.
Twice the work as normal but not as bad as manually doing each app via playstore.
Also worth mentioning Super backup folder is working flawlessly from the externalSD but for batch mode to work you must use the default folder assigned on the externalSD.

Ok, so I just did a clean flash of a different rom, then batch restored 64 apps that I backed up this morning. No issues at all, they restored fine and I've already used a few of them. Definitely no problems here :good:

I don't think it's a TiBu issue - if it was then everybody would have it. I know I don't, but no idea if it might be phone or rom related or what the problem is. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thanks for going to the effort of doing a fresh install. Just out of curiosity what phone and rom are you using.
I'm using LG G5, have tried stock v20 which is android 7.0 with root, I tried FluenceUHD patch over the stock rom, all using SuperSU for root.
I also tried RR based on 7.1 with same result.
Also TB is on version 8.0.0

LG G5 H850, currently running the new DU rom with SuperSU but usually RR, now with that crappy Magisk.
I don't know what to tell you, but after 64 restored apps today I can't find any fault with TiBu. Same version as you btw, 8.0.0
Fingers crossed that you'll find a solution

The latest, 3.1.0.0 - but it worked fine on the previous versions too
Interactive Mode Works !!!

Please can someone confirm I'm not the only one that is experiencing titanium backup restore issues..... Meaning not restoring anything, whether it's batch or individually.
This makes new rom flashing an absolute nightmare.
Now I am aware of the recent security updates by google where all apps require to be verified when being installed. A work around is disabling app verify and disabling internet connection. But this does not work for me. Now the only easy way (not so easy) is find all apps missing via titanium backup then selecting the view in market button, download and install the Play store way, then do a batch install of data only.
Anyone care to chime in?
