Does anyone know if making a zip file with Titanium Backup work with the new partition layout?

Are you talking about a flashable zip?

Of course. TB has nothing to do with the layout. It is installed to /data. The phone determines where that is located. I still use the same zip that I was using on the old format.

I installed pre beta 3 and then rom manager said I need to insert an sd card. I have one in so I partitioned it and that fixed it. Then I downloaded and installed gapps using cwn recovery. 4.0.1.4 I think. After that there was nothing new in my app drawer. Am I being stupid idk exactly how everything works yet. Would gapps give me market because that's all I really need.

While I have not installed cm7 on my Atrix, I know that on my nook market doesn't show until you set up your Gmail account. Have you done that yet?
Wipe user data and factory reset then they will show

Go to bootloader then recovery find install zip from SD card go into clockworkmod folder find the zip file for gapps which if I'm correct its called go inside me" or something similar and flash it that way. Sometimes when I'm installing roms for reviews that's how I have to do it

Try what I said. Go into recovery then go to install zip from SD card then find clockwork mod folder it should be in there install the zip from there if all else fails find the market apk online. I suggest 4shared just type in apk. Android market

Hello Everyone!!!
I have samsung galalxy pop/mini gts5570 running Cyanogenmod 7 with Clock work mod recovery. I just wanted to know is there a way to make my own flashable zip file containing all the mostly needed & used application. Since, I have to manually install each app after upgrading or changing my rom, i just though why not install them from a single zip file.
So, anyone can you help me in making my own flashable zip file. Please provide me the directory structure of the file, i will pack the apks myself ... Or if there is any other way to do so plz tell me ...
Thank YOu!!!

I know it can be done with titanium but it is also cumbersome selecting apps and then reinstalling ...
I want to flash them at once from cwm 4.0.0.5 recovery...

Gotcha. The ROM I'm using allows users to customize many of the apps that are installed during flash... even allows us to install our own personal set of apps. This is done with a text doc on the SD card. I know you said you wanted to flash through recovery, but it's sorta the same idea.
Man why don't ya use the batch option in TB and by that option u can backup / restore all your apps in one click to use batch use menu button
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
I know titanium has batch option that can do it. But I wanted make zip so that I can flash it in CWM recovery this way my files will be organized in one place and it will be fast too.
You can try using app2zip.
using titanium backup pro
I already using titanium back up pro..look optoion,,and make flashable zip..and when it finish the file name is update.zip.. now U just flash your own app+data
Dear Members, is there a way to make a nandroid backup into a single zip or tar file?

Use an older version of clockwork recovery (5.5.x or touch 6.1) and they create a single zip, latest clockwork did offer an option to change the way it backups last time I checked also.

It created the zip file and some other files in the folder, however the size is too small to be the recovery image. I doesn't create the full image. Still doesnt work. Is there a way to create a full nandroid backup into a single file with all the settings as it is done in normal cwr backup? Any help appreciated.

Just change default backup to tar then backup as normal that should work.

Creating tar recovery results in multiple files in recovery folder not a single zip file. My question was is there a way to create a single zip file that can be flashed in recovery as a custom rom.
I use the older version of cwm which creates full nandroid into 5 or so files. I then zip it into one but you have to unzip it to restore it. I don't think there is a clean way to create one full flashable nandroid with all your data and settings etc... I would also like to know if there is a way.

The same thing for me, searched for forums and no success. Thank you for your answer. Perhaps you could also know if there is any possible way to install stock samsung bootanimation on CM10 rom?

Not on CM10 they might have different locations for there boot image not sure.
In regards to the Nandroid I was just thinking about it actually and I find it quite strange as to why after ALL this time there isnt a way to create a FULL nandroid with apps,settings,themes,data.contacts, EVERYTHING all in the one file so its flashable. I mean it wouldnt be that hrd for the dev to do it as there is an option for the update zip. I really dont get it. Wouldnt everyone prefer it that way?

I fully agree, it would have been much easier for testers to get back to the rom they tuned and customized. Any ideas are always welcome.
Yes. It will be very easy to keep the backups if we could make a signal zip file. so we can name it with date and keep.
Hi guys/gals. I have just rooted/unlocked my Atrix, and am flashing new ROMS. One thing I have run into though is the fact that these new ROMS don't come pre-installed with all of the apps that I want. So, I was thinking I could create an update package that will push all of "my" apps that I use on a regular to the ROM I just flashed instead of installing one by one via play store. I followed the advice posted by a Senior Member here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957 but this isn't working for me. When I attempt to use CWM to install this update.zip file, all I get is updated failed. I do not see the reason for the failure, just that it failed. Can a more experienced user here, assist with what I am doing incorrectly please and thank you.
Check the recovery log. Every recovery has one.

When I run Show Log from CWM I don't see anything that is relevant to the reason it failed?
OK, I see your problem. You're using a way outdated procedure for creating flashable ZIPs. That is a procedure for creating Amend-based ZIPs which have long been abandoned, only Edify-based ZIPs are supported now. I think your best bed would be to get some ready-made flashable ZIP (of some ROM for example) and modify it according to your preferences.
What about using one of the app backup apps? like what i do is i started on gb, used go backup pro, backed up the apps and data for the apps. then i switched roms, reinstalled go backup pro, and restored the apps and data

I attempted this procedure with zip me, but when I went to actually install the zip created with this app, It said install failed. I know Titanium Backup Pro (paid edition) offers this solution, but I do not have a full paid version. I *thought* it would be simple enough to just create my own install script as I have the .apk files needed, just can't get the script set-up properly.

This app looks very comparable to Titanium Backup (and it's free which is great!). I am not seeing the setting though of how to choose which apps to make an installable zip from. Can you explain that piece to me please?

It looks like I would have to restore each app on a individual basis?
I was hoping for a way to have all them batch restored at one time.

there is an option along the bottom of the screen called batch restore and batch backup. using these will speed up the process of keeping things up to date with backups, and speed up the process of restoring

apk is the app, data is the user data from the app. Generally, it would be a good idea to backup both

Hi,
I am currently using TWRP. I have a clockworkmod folder on my device which is rather large. I want to delete this folder and am wondering if this is safe. I don't need the backup file as I have made a new nandroid with TWRP. Do I need to uninstall cmw? (If so, how) Can I safely delete this folder?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
You can only have one recovery at the same time so the fact you have twrp means that it replaced cwm. If you now have a backup of your ROM in twrp and have no interest in ever going back to cwm, then you are good to go. Delete the folder if you wish. Its perfectly safe to get rid of the folder at this point
