[Q] Not all apps appearing in 'default SMS app' selection box - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just installed CM11 M9 and the latest 4.4.4 gapps on my S3 with CWM recovery 6.0.4.7. I had to reinstall some of the CM11 apps back in after the gapps install and now have the following problem:
In the Default SMS app settings box, I have,
1. SMS Backup & Restore
2. Hangouts (which the phone defaulted to)
3. Helium
4. Titanium Backup
Although both the standard messaging app and Viber are installed, neither of these appear in the list. Is there any way I can change the default SMS service to either messaging or Viber?

Titanium Backup - help a noob, please!

I have bought the TB pro app, and would like some help.
Perhaps I’m missing something obvious here, but I did the following:
- Batch -> Backup all user apps & system data
- Wiped my device (Nexus 7), flashed a new rom (both based on stock)
- Installed TB, then TB Pro.
- Batch -> Restore missing apps with data.
However, a lot of the apps I restored have restored to their ‘just installed’ state. Ie. Passwords and any ‘user’ data is missing.
Examples:
- Facebook app (doesn’t know my username and password)
- Twitter (same)
- Lastpass (same)
- Moxier Mail (forgot my account settings)
However a few apps did remember my settings / data:
- FPSe
- Sixaxis controller
- Gmail (and other Google Apps)
Any advice greatly appreciated.. Many thanks.
Ignore me. Read your post wrong
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda app-developers app
Whenever u backup apps using TB always tick the option to backup all installed apps with data.
This is the reason why ur apps didn't have any data
That's what I did.. ! Any other ideas?

Dude, Just try what I said to you before in your other (help) post. You will see it works great (It works on every rom).
Now I'm really sure you have a rooted galaxy player... Also, if you don't quite understand my detailed explanation there are some other people that
share there fixes for whapp on tablets. Google it.
There is no special rom needed for whatsapp messenger.
Do you have an rooted android smartphone and galaxy player?
-Install "whatsapp" and "titanium backup" on the phone
-Open whatsapp and activate it.
-Backup the whatsapp data with titanium.
-Open your favorite file-explorer and copy the backup files to an SD-card, personal computer or any cloud service.
-Install whatsapp and titanium backup on your galaxy player.
-Open whatsapp and close it afterwards.
-Backup the whatsapp data from your galaxy player. (This is a fake backup).
-Move the (smartphone) whatsapp files to the titanium backup folder (galaxy player) where the fake backup is saved.
-Remove the fake backup.
-Open titanium backup on your galaxy player and restore your whatsapp backup.
"You are ready to go"
This process should also be possible without a smartphone.
You need to install BlueStacks on your computer.

Backup System Settings

I have Samsung Galaxy SII, is rooted and also I am using custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) and Titanium backup (not Pro version).
Every time I install a new version of custom rom, I have to configure again system settings (live wallpaper, shortcuts and witgets on screen, configure phone book and sms-mms settings, ringtone song, etc).
How can I save system settings??? So when I install a new version of custom rom and then Play Store automatically download and install all previous applications, to restore system settings.
Thanks!

voice input

So I've been in a minimalist mood lately. I'm not running gapps. What do I need from Google to use skype and general voice input like on the keyboard. Is it Google voice? If so, does that have any dependencies?
Edit: I guess what I need is Google Voice Search.
2nd edit: hmm... Harder than expected. Since Google Voice was already installed on my Sense ROM I could not download the standalone app. Backing up the system app and applying it via Titanium does not work. Any ideas?
Edit 3: I was really having a "doh" moment. I ended up making a cm backup and installing gapps then backing up the apps I need then returning to my cm backup and restoring apps from titanium including the system app com.Google.android.voicesearch 4.0.0 - everything works just fine now

[Q] Question regarding Titanium Backup and restoring certain apps

I just flashed the Barren stock deodexed rom, but there are some apps i cant restore in TiBu. The apps in particular seem to be all of the google apps (chrome, youtube, voice search, et cetera), while others are the LG weather (which i kind of liked), swype, talk back. They appear in Titanum as greyed out with a line through them and when i go to restore them, the restore dialogue box just hangs. What can i do to fix this?

If you need some of the Sprint or LG apps, they won't install. I'd need to add some files for those to work. I think they were in /cust/overlay/apps.

Install them from the play store. They are no longer system apps. Googlesearch/youtube/Gmail and maybe a few others.
So now we should flash a gapps package even on stock Roms?
